To.sum it all up she displays astonishing
power, poesy, yirtuosity and thorough appre-
citation of the composers every idea. Another
member of the company who aroused the en-
thusiasm of the audience was Signora Laura
BelIini, who sang several solos and assisted
in two or three duets and quartettes. She has
soprano voice of great power, clearncss and
pllreness, of most sympathetic nature, and
thoroughly cultivated. She is one of the
finest sopranos ever heard here, either in con-
cert or opera, and the audience recognizing
this fact, cncored her repeatedly. Herr Richter,
the violinist, is another prominent member OF
the company. His playing is pure and bril-
liant, and places him on a level with any Of
the great violinists of the present day. Miss
Mabella, George II. BrOdcrick and Ferdinand

GOAT vs. GHOST.
"Just Overflow Goat Played the Part
of Horrible Goblin.

The Terrible Experience Of Young Man
"Just Overflow Goat Played the Part
of Horrible Goblin.
Three weeks ago there arrived at New
York, from Germany, young man II
years of age named Adolph Schmidt, the
sum total of his possessions amounting
to Is cents. After stopping in the city
four days he was warned to leave his
boarding house as he had not yet procur-
ed work. A few hours afterwards a
gentleman observed him standing on the
sidewalk respondent and on learning the
cause bought him ticket to this city,
where he expected to find his uncle, resid-
ing in this city, also supplying him with
enough luncheon to last the journey. He
arrived in St. Paul Dec. Goth, and his
uncle procured work for him with Louis
Eisenmenger, the Wabashaw street butch
er. New Years night the men in Mr.. +. IS
employ passed the time in quaffing copi-
Gus draughts of foaming lager and relat-
ing blood-curdling stories of ghosts and
hobgoblins, after which they retired to
rest in a detached building back of the
meat market, the sleeping room being
reached by flight of ten steps on the out
side. After our hero had got settled in his
couch he heard acrunching and grinding
noise under the bed, which his mind,
already filled with the weird stories of
his companions, easily imagined was a
call from the spirit world, and the young
man half rose in bed, cold sweat break
ing out over him, but when in the dim
light he beheld the head of tiend in
carnate, surmounted by pair of horns,
as he had seen them pictured, rise by the
side of the bed and fix its awful gaze
upon him, his hair rose with jerk, and
with an ear splitting yell for help he fell
manity, interspersing his cries for aid
with prayers and adjurations to his pat
ron saint to Danish the evil one from his
presence: Everybody in the
neighborhood was aroused, and there
was great hurrying to and fro, and
when the room was entered the boy was
discovered crouched in bed almost dead
with fright and praying as fast as his al
most paralyzed tongue would let him,
while beside the bed, with his forefeet
resting thereon, was Louie's pet billy
goat, the terror of the neighbOrhood, gaz-
ing in OPEN -mouthed wonder at the limp
mass in the bed, sedately wondering what
he was making SO much noise about. The
goat, which had probably got up in the
room during the day and was enjoying a
sleep under the bed when disturbed, was
driven out, and the youth told to 60 to
sleep, but it is safe to say no sleep visited
him that night. The goat has recovered,
but the boy still trembles at the recollec-
ton of that awful hour and the ridicule
of the neighborhood makes life miserable.

Other Disasters.
SIX MEN KILLED.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Jan. A shocking acci-
dent occurred to-day OH the line of the Sioux
City d Omaha division of the Chicago, ST.
Paul Il Omaha railroad, by which six men
were killed outright and the seventh lost IA
leg. The men were engaged in cut north of
Bancroft shoveling snow. The working train,
anticipating the coming of the south bound
passenger, had sidetracked, and the men,
eleven in ALL had stepped from the track
to allow the passenger TO pass. Some
trouble in getting through had been expert
enced the day before and the engineer ap-
preaching the cut, which is long one and
on curve, had put OH steam and rushed in.
The train consisted of locomotive and tend
er, two box cars and one passenger car. The
train with the exception of the latter car
passed the men in safety, but the steps of the
passenger coach caught them and moved
them down like grass under the wheels.
Only four escaped without Sc
rious injury. The names of
the killed are Chas. Meters, Thomas Brough-
man, A. p. Swanson, G.. A. Herman, Olney
Anderson and John Erickson. The name of
the wounded man is John Adelan. The men
all lived at Oakland Neb,, to which point their
bodies were conveyed.
