THE sAENGERFEST
Continues Ina Cincinnati with Unabated
Interest-Che Concert of Last Night
The Programme and the sing
ers who Interpreted It-A
Great Success.

CINCINNATI, June l2.-rhe streets this
morning seem to have resumed their wonted
appearance, as far as the crowdIng, moving
multitude are concerned 1t 1t were not for
the Gags and decorations one would hardly
imagine there was anything ont of the usual
order. The vast throng OF yesterday, who are
still in the city, seem to have taken them
selves to the hilltops and parks, where bal
loon ascensions, picnics and concerts are the
order of the day. The weather continues favor
able 10 the highest enjoyment of the "fest.
At Music hall there will be concerts this at
terhoon and evaning, aud the attendance
promises to be large. Among the sololsts
this afternoon is Miss Annie Norton, who has
been so prominent in the orchestra concerts
the past winter. Nine. Alvsleben will sing
an aria from Samson. and MYron Whitney
one from Acis and GaitbeG.
Tonight has been gala one for the saen-
gerfest, both in quality OF singing and in at
tendance, Fully four thousand people were
seated before the opening of the concert and
the total attendance will probably number
several hundred more. The CHORUS seats
were packed solidly by the male singers, and
sence of color when compared with the
Sggght costumes Of the lady singers
of last evening. Prof. Carl Barus
was musical director for the evening.
The concert opened with the German Var
ri0r'S Oath and Prayer, written by Ferdl-
nand Moehrlng previous to the Franco-ffus-
sian war, and was inspired by the interview
between the then king of Prussia and the
French envoy. Benedict, at Ems. Mr.. Rem
mertz sustained the solo admirably, and the
chorus was exceedingly prompt IN
its movements. The second number of
the programme, an aria, All PeT1fdo,
by Beethoven, was aung by Miss
Z nina Heckle, of this city. This was fol-
lowed by a chorus for male voices, Take
Wing, My Song, sang without orchestral
accompaniment, and was delivered IN fine
style. Miss Helen Balatka, Of Chicago, drew
| rounds of braves and fairly received an oVa-
ton after singing an aria from The Magic
| FIute, and the applause continued until
she repeated it, God, Fdthertdnd
and Lore, serious but beautiful
competition by Tschirch, was finely given by
! the full chorus of male voices, and was fol-
| lowed by Mr.. Whitney with a solo, Honor
| and Arms, which won an encore. The clos
| ing number of the first part of the concert
was Easter Morning, Nine. Alvsleben sus,
| tanning the solo, supported by the tul
| orchestra, chorus and the great organ
| In this Nine. Alvsleben achieved hel
greatest triumph thus far during the fest
| aud sang with great expression and magnif'
| cent effect. At its close hah the vast audi
| ence, besides the chorus, was on its feet
cheering and shouting an encore. The con
cers closed with Paradise Lost. There wal
evidently greater sympathy between tht
singers, the orchestra and the audience to
night than at any previous concert, and this
no doubt, had its eject on the execution o
| tLe music on the prOgraBlme.

THE MURDER
or HRS. Hull q Mystery that the Police
think they Will be able 10 UnrRVeI
Very soon, Perhaps.

New YORK, June PA police officer,
high in authority, in speaking with re-
porter of the Epening Post of the murder OF
Mrs. Hull admitted he was convinced that
it was committed by some person IN the
house, and said that the removal of the
Jewels was a device too shallow to deceive
anyone. He also intimated that it was
likely an arrest would be- made very soon,
possibly to-day. Superintendent Wallng IS
said to be convinced that the missing jewels
are still in the house, but If the jewels are
not found in tho house or drains, the plans
of the police will not be altered, a it is lm-
possible to say how far the Jewels may be
carried along the sewer by the water passing
through it. DR.. Hull is under surveillance.
The idea that the murder was committed by
professional burglars is generally dIscredltAd
by all persons familiar with criminal mat
tiers. The police are confident of winding
up the case before the end of this week.
Three thousand postal cards, giving the de-
scription of the missing jewelry, will be sent
to all parts of the country. The police will
get full statements from every member of
the household as to their knowledge of the
existing feeling between themselves and
Mrs. Hull and others in the house, as well as
of the events immediately preceding and fol-
lowing the murder. Captain Williams, on
entering the house to-day, met DIR. Hull in
the hallway and handed dispatch to him
DIR. Hull read the dispatch and then handed
it back to the captain, who read it, and ques
toned the doctor about it. The contents o
the dispatch could not be learned. Officers
| have been instructed to take charge OF al
| letters and dispatches directed to any of the
| inmates of the house.

a Ruined yyOuan,s vengeance

NEWPORT, r. l., June 9.-Miss Kate Fltz-
gerald will be arraigned In the quiet town of
Bristol tomorrow for attempting to shoot
Postmaster Pearce on Saturday night, MIR.
Pearce, who is a prominent worker IN the Re-
publican party, was talking with a we'll
known citizen on the street. when the young
woman, who is scarcely out of her teens, went
up to him; and, after accusing him of having
caused her ruin, pulled out a revolver and
snapped the trigger. The cap failed to ex-
plode, however, and before she could repeat
the attempt she was seized by the bystanders.
1t will be remembered that the postmaster 8
wife attempted to take his life while he was
asleep few weeks ago, and the whole affair
was enveloped in mystery. A week later Mrs.
Pearce attempted to kill herself, and she now
lies in a critical condition. Pearce has been
paying attention to Miss Fitzgerald, and it is
alleged an indiscreet intimacy has occasioned
the trouble, she being said to be frequent
visitor to his Office. HIS questionable atten-
tons to the destroyer of his domestic happi-
| ness have long been known to his unfortunate
| wife, and this attempt upon bis life has oc-
stoned a profound sensation, Pearce being
| a member of one of the aristocratic families

Mls. CHrLDs. of the Philadelphia. Ledger,
General Grants most intimate friend, in re-
cent conversation with a New York Tribune
correspondent, said that he was confident the
eI-Presdent had no political plans. Speak
ing Of the projected excursion to San Fran
Disco to meet the Ex-President on his return,
he also said that none of General Grants
personal friends are IN any way concerned in
It or take the slightest interest in it. The
affair, he added, is evidently a
business speculation, gotten up by
individuals who hope to make some
money out of the interest felt by the p1blic
IN General Grants return. They are no
doubt aided 10y the railroad companies, who
would naturally be glad to get tho profits on
a heavy excursion business. Mr.. ChiIds said
there will be undoubtedly handsome recep-
ton rendered to General Grant by the city OF
San Francisco, aud a few personal friends
will cross the continent to take part in vel
coming him, but their trip will be private
affair without the slightest political signih'
canoe. Aud Illus ends the Grant boom.

Cincinnati Gazette: 1.-The Times cannot
see that the Gazette is IN earnest In supporting
Mr.. Halstead for secretary of war. 1t warns
US that our irony is so fine that the common
people do not understand it, and thatwe may
raise boom for Mr.. Halstead, and have to
stand to what we undertook il sport. we
suspect that the Times Is infected with the
notion which the politicians have, that it is
absurd to think Of an editor for any high
place, and also with the notion that the Gle
walton of our esteemed cotemporary would be
wormwood to US. But such arguments as
we have used in this case are too forcible for
irony or rivalry. The Times would do well
to join the Gazette IN asserting the merits of
journalists against the supercillous notions of
the public men whom journalists have made.
We are not advocating this appointment as
any favor to MIR. halstead, nor because we
are devoted to him personally; but he is to
US a representative of journalists against the
political exclusion of them from high places,
and, therefore, we are demanding his appoint
meut as due 10 one of profession which is a
maker of public men and administrations. u

FROM all parts Of the country comes the
cheering intelligence of the steady growth
OF trade, and Notwithstanding the very va
riabIe weather, of an excellent crop prospect.
Our own city shares in this prosperity, and
the surrounding country is blessed with the
best evidences of good harvests. The mayor
of Montgomery, Alabama, in his an

market in that city is growing more
active, that a large number of new
buildings are being erected and others are
under contract, and that transfers of real
estate are being made with an activity which
presaRes an early rise in values. The rate
of taxation has been reduced to one dollar
and twenty-five cents on the one hundred

THERE are indications that within the next
few weeks there will be quite an advance in
the price of silk. Ia fact, an increase has al
ready taken place in the value of the raw
material, but has hardly penetrated to the
manufactured stocks in the possession of re-
tail dealers. The cause for this advance is
found in the probable failure of the Italian
silk crop of this year.
