THE MORGAN RECTTALS.

The first of the organ and harp recitals which
were projected some time ago by M George w.

Miss Maud Morgan, took place at Chickering Hall
yesterday afternoon. 1t proved bright and pleas

MR.. RUMMEL's RECITALs.

The third of Mr. Franz Rummeps pianoforte re.
citals which took place at Steinway Hall yesterday
afternoon, was as interesting and instructive as
those which preceded it. The programme was com.
prehensive. embracing music from the time of Bach
to that of Liszt and Brassin, though the Chopin
school was scarcely represented which was
rather an advantage. since in that music Mr.. Rum.
mel is not heard at his best. The Bach Partita in
fat major which opened the concert. was exceed
ing interesting. Mr. Rummel played it with clear
ness, vigor and TASTE and marked the contract be-
tween the different quaint, old-fashioned dances
which compose it with admirable distinctness His
performance of the MOONLIGHT Sonata, which Is per-
fectly familiar here. has always been one
of his most successful efforts. His rendering Of 1t

Tragic Death of n BURGLAR.

BUFFALO, April 25.-George Irish, keeper
of grocery here, was awakened at an early hour
yesterday morning by his servant girl, who, hear
ing strange noises in the store below, suspected
that burglars had broken in. Arming himself
with revolver Irish descended to the store where
he encountered Dennis E Murphy who had forced
open the side door. Murphy Immediately turned
upon Irish, threw weights and other missiles at
him, and, seizing a club, struck a savage blow at
him. Irish thereupon shot his antagonist one ball
entering the forehead of the burglar and another
striking him in the breast and lodging in the
lung beyond the reach of the probe. Murphy was
removed to the general hospital, where he fingered
in great agony until six o'clock this evening when
he died. Charles Roach, whom Murphy in his
delirum called for several times, and Patrick Nc
Donald, both supposed to have been with him,
have been arrested.
