"OLD FOLKS AT HOME.
The Concert II Grand Success--The Singing
and management Both Good.
The Old Folks Concert, piyen Ia

The Old Folks Concert, given last
Friday and Saturday nights, in this
city, for the benefit of the Murphies,
was excellent. Friday night the
house was packed and Saturday night
a good audience was present, but
owing to the state of the weather
many yer prevented from attending.
The costumes Of the singers were
very old fashioned and unique, many
of them being elegant. The best
voices in the city were shown off to
their best advantage. The perform
ers all did we'll, but We have only
room to notice a few particularly,
and that too, briefly. The choruses
we're all good. Prof. Treloar, di-
rector, deserves great credit for the
skillful maner in which he trained
the class. The Professor is one of
best musicians in the state and a most
thorough teacher.
"MehltabIe, Highsisger," Miss
Lizzie Silver, sang the Scotch ballad,
"Within q mile of Edinboroughtown,"
most expressivcly.
Miss Baird, "Patlence Primrose
rendered I'LL Bacio" very sweetIy.
Miss Belle Morris, "Patty Peach
BLOSSOM sang "Grandmother's Ad-
vice. most appropriately. 1t was
received with a shower of applause,
and in answer to a pressing encore
she sang very sweetly, "IH tell
Nobody" Miss Belle is a great
favorite with the people of Mexico.
Miss Lou Wardwell, polly Ann
Mariah Podsnap," rendered, with
much feeling, The last ose of Sum
mer." Miss Lou has has an elegant
voice and that too, under excellent
control. In answer to a pressing
encore she sang a very sparkling
! comic song, which took the house by
storm. The songs were different il
style, but both equally we'll rendered,
s'rhe men singers all did exceed
ingly well.

Second Recorders Court.

Yesterday an Interesting case was decided In
this court A man named John Smith. who b ad
been driver on the Orleans Railroad line OF
cars. was arraiGned charged by the manages
ment Of the road with embezzlement, In that he
had taken the SUN Of five cents from a passen-
ger. which should have been deposited In the
DIX 1t appeared that the management, sue-
pecttng the driver Smith, had put decoy on
bis car. In the person OF boy. who presented
ten cents to the driver. and receiving five cents
change took his seat In the car.
the evidence to this extent went to show that
the driver had retataed five cents and on this
the charge OF embezzlement was made. The
counsel for the driver held that It was the es-
sence of embezzement that the party charged
With the offense should have had the original
authority to receive the property alleged to be-
embezzed. and 1nasmuch as the driver OF a car
Is emphatically prohibited from receiving fares
he possessed no original authority. The Ave
cents IN Issue was not the property Of the COM
pany. because 1t was not In the box. and II It
was, the driver was not an authorized AGENT to
receive 1t. '-~-' "
The court took the Same view, and holding
there was no embezzlement proved, discharged
the accused
,Messrs. Bonnafon and Rance, charged with
SHOOTING. etc.. were arraigned and sent before
the First District Court
WIN. Bull. charged with running over and
lnJurtng Alfred Scott. was discharged. the affair
having been proved to be accidental.
