Board of Associated Charities.

There landed in this city on Wednesday evening family named Gilbert, consisting of father, mother and two children (boy 15, girl 3, on their way from Nebraska to Prov idence R. I. They went to the West three years ago to seek their fortune, and had with them about $1, 100 of hard earned money
 They purchased 160 acres of land in Cedar county, about fourteen miles from Yankton and sixty-ive mlles north of Sioux City, in the State of Nebraska, paying SIPS per acre for it. They tell sad tale of disaster and blighted expectations. The first year they lived in sod house, just one room about mother and five children (three having died during their stay.) They commenced at once to cultivate the land, the first year grow ing little seed corn. The second year their crops were good, but entirely destroyed by storms. The third year, last year, they had no rain for six months, consequently the crops were an entire fail ure. They had to dispose of their cattle, also sold what little household goods they had, with the exception of table, chairs and bed steads. These they have left in what was once their western home. A neighbor is left in charge of the farm to sell or rent it as best he can. They state that many families have been living on corn bread during the greater part of the severe winter, not having tea or coffee to drink with it. These settlers are hoping the government will do something to help them hold their homes. The Gib- berts stayed on Wednesday evening on State street. The husband went out in search of work he being a blacksmith, but fell in with bad company, who allured him into saloons. He drank freely that evening, and again the next morning, was arrested and lodged in the station house. He had only b cents in his pos session This was given by the Chief of Police to his little boy, who had followed his father to the station house. This was all the mother had to provide for herself and two children. She purchased something for their dinner, and in the afternoon came to the office of the Board of Associated Charities, not knowing what to do or where to go
 homeless and penniless. Herself and two children were taken in and will stay until it is known what will be done with the husband.

 LUCIA DI LAMMERMooR.
 large audience, notwithstanding the un- pleasant weather, witnessed the presentation ot this fine opera by the Emma Abbott English Opera Troupe at the New Haven Opera House last evening. h the first act the audience were disposed to be critical, but they gradually fell into sympathy with the singers and became very enthusiastic in the third act. The company refused to respond to e1acoTes, although in the third act the audi ence kept up their applause for some time. The ''mad scene" in the fourth act was es- pecially good, being finely acted and sung. Miss Abbott as Lucia" was of course the favorite of the evening, and at the close of the second, third and fourth acts she was called before the curtain. Signor Brignoli as ''Edgardo" won for himself great favor from the audience for admirable rendering of his part. In the last act he was especially good The orchestra and chorus were very fine, and on the whole the audience were much better pleased than they expected to be. All who were not present last evening should not fail to attend either this afternoon or evening, otherwise they will miss rich musical treat Tickets of general admission to the matinee will be 50 cents, reserved seats 75 cents and $1.

Nine were washed overheard and drowned but one named Peter Sallace stayed and was saved by the life saving service today. This is the

THE INAUGURAL BALL.

The inaugural ball was great success. A powerful calcium light thrown in all direc- tions from the top of the Agricultural build ing indicated to strangers the location of the new museum adjoining, where the ball was held. From the Ninth street entrance 8 plank walk had been laid to the Museum building and was partially covered by canvas. Near the building temporary bridge has been erected for pedestrians over the drive way and temporary platforms were arranged that several carriages could discharge their occupants simultaneously. People be- gan to arrive before 9so'clock, coming in car riages, omnibuses and on foot in large num- bers. Not more than 200 or 300 spectators gathered outside the Museum to ses the arrivals at the ball. From all parts of the ground the building presented fine appearance, the decorated windows being particularly brilliant. The crowd in White House Park was so great that President and Mrs. Garfield started for the ball from the south entrance. They drove directly to the Museum and were among the earliest arrivals. The balf-at a. m. Saturday is still in prog ress. The President and party retired some time ago.

THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES.

At theeast end of the Capitol the scene was indescribable, the mass having stood in the wet and cold all day. Sunlight had broken out bright and warm, and the crowd cheered. The great bronze doors opened, and President Garfield, escorted by ex-Presi- dent Hayes, ascended the steps both with
 bare heads. The crowd shouted " Garfield, Garfield" General Garfield paused mo- ment surveyed the crowd and then walked slowly to the top of the platform where was seated Mr.Hayes on the left and Chief Jus tice Waite on the right. Garfield s mother and wife sat behind him. When the invited guests were all on the platform Garfield
 arose and went to the front. Now the crowd
 became all silent. and he delivered his inaug
 ural in strong, clear voice heard all around.
 It was received with great applause. At the conclusion Justice Waite administered the oath of office. Garfield then reached over and kissed his mother and wife and was sur
 rounded by thousands of hand shakers.
 Then the Presidential party went back tosthe Capitol and headed the procession back to
 the White House. thus ending the inaugural ceremonies. zs
