Tho Third and last concert for the season of
this favorite musical organization took place
lnst night at Congregational church. The
first number on the programme Was the cava-
tina and barcarolo from the star of the
North" This was sung by Miss Eva Mills In
a mannur that showed her voice TO fine advan-
tage, and proved that wo have among us
lady whose voiGs is fully equal to that
OF anyone Wo have heard attempt this difficult
composition. The barcnrolle was to have
boon sung by o chorps Of twelve voices from
tho society, but owing to one Of the number
being ndisposed that part had to DO dropped
from tho programme, much TO tho regret of
the large audience, Mrs, True had fine OPP
portunity TO display hor exquisite contralto
voice, which she did in u way TO give much
pleasure to her hearers. Mr., Pruett sang his
selections in a remarkably pure and even
baritone voice, giving TO the different parts
such pathos as the words demanded. Mr.
Toedt carried OFF the honors Of tho evening,
being Enthusiastically oncored In every solo,
o repetition being demanded Of the "Harbor
Bay" which lie sang in such perfect manner
as to lead Que TO ask il IL would be possible to
be bottor sung by anyone The chorus parts,
with one slight exception, We're decided i'm
proyement on the last timo they were ren.

had been made under the now director Mr..
Gloctzner. Mr.. Waldecker presided ut tho
organ upd proved himself thoroughly able to

This association met at Maupin Hall, corner
of Tenth and f streets northeast, last night,
Mr.. A. NJ. Kanause presiding and J. +. Maui
pin, secretary.
Mr. Hensey from tho committee on rail-
roads, reported that they had waited on the
Senate Committee and Mr.. Koyser, of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, admitted in his
statement that tho company's position here
was unsatisfactory 10 themselves, and they
had made an examination with view of
entering the city by tunnel to tho south of tho
Capitol, when they could make connection
with roads to the South. DIR. Gallaudot sug.
gestcd that they enter by the valley of the
Tiber, and Mr.. Keyser said they would con.
slider chat plan.
Mr.. Robinson said tho committee had accom-
plshed what he had expected, but what was
done does not yet appear on the surface. He
noted that the committee had expected the
cooperation of the South Washington people,
but they wero not there.
Mr.. Hcnscy desired that IL be understood
that he was not opposed to the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, and If it was on grade and on n
line with the streets, with proper protection,
he would not bo engaged iu this movement.
The chairman, in reference to tho Smothers
case, said that it seemed to have gotten into
the management Of some parties who had pro-
posCu 10 take tho law into their own hhnus,
and 1t seemed strange that somo facts as to the
history of this man, which was well known,
had not been touched upon. He referred to tho
police bill, and the action of the Grand Army
of the Republic in Objecting TO the report OF
tho soldier clause. lie explained that tho
soldier clause would benefit, II enforced, many
parties who had served on the Confederate
side during tho war.
Mr. Hensoy remarked that what was needed
was authority to increase the force and they
could settle disputes afterward and he moved
that the committee on police consider tho Ford
