Mr.. julius Bereghy has a most pleasing
bass voice, and his rendition of the song

attractive features of the entire entertain

Mile Marie Litta gave an operate selec
ton and also the Staccato polka. The
first was exquisitely rendered, and gave the
vocalis, an opportunity to display her won
derful register of voice. The latter was
more of vocal gymnastic exercise, and
displayed her facile vocalization and
power. She was heartily encored after
both numbers.

his acting and vocalizations.

RUNAWAY.

A very peculiar runaway occurred yes
terday afternoon, which resulted in the
unceremonious destruction of dray load
of household articles, which was being
conveyed to house on Fourth avenue.
A farmers team of horses, attached to
an empty wagon, became frightened, while
standing on Market square. The horses
started on run, and passed south on Sew
enteenth street, to Fourth avenue, and
thence west. At the intersection of those
two thoroughfares sedate old horse was
standing, attached to q dray which con-
tanned the household possessions of a
family.
The latter animal concluded to follow
the runaways' example, and he started at
brisk rate down the street, scattering
stoves, chairs, tables, and other articles
along the route. The horse was finally
stopped, and the farmers team was also
brought to halt.

His medicine case was taken away from

inclined.

An accident occurred on the r, l. q p.
yesterday morning which detained the
several trains of that line during the day
for several hours.
A construction train near Princeville, a
station some twenty miles from Peoria
jumped the track, and it became very
difficult matter to place the cars upon the
track.
The accident occurred about 10 O'Clock
in the morning, and force of men was al
once placed at work to clear the track.
This was not accomplished until early in
afternoon.s
The cars of the construction train were
not injured to any great extent. and the
only damage was the delay of the regular

During the afternoon however, the trains
were all running on schedule time.

Mr.. Julius Bereghy, the Hungarian basso
profundo, who appeared last evening at
Harper's Theatre with the Litta concert
troupe, was not many years ago an officer
under the Emperor Macmillan in his invas-
ion of Mexico. In the terrific battle in
which Macmillan and nearly all his men
went down, Bereghy and six of his COM
rades fell prisoners and suffered the great
est fortunes imaginable. His six compan
ions were shot down in his presence, but
his offense being less than theirs, he was
spared to die a. less violent death-there-
upen-being sentenced to be hung the next
morning at sunrisel Bereghy says that
was the only time in his life that he was
ever really frightened. On the reading of
the sentence he dropped in a swoon. When
he came to, it was about two or three
O'Clock in the morning and the nearness of
his doom almost paralyzed him. In NOV
ing he discovered that he was on loose
board in large dog kennel. He resolved
to attempt an escape, although
hope was dead in his breast; but
he preferred to be shot down
like his comrades to being.
hung. and die soldiers death His cap
tors had pdmmeled him until there was
not spot of uncolored flesh as large as an
egg upon his entire body, and every stitch
of his clothing except small fragment of
his undershirt had been torn from him.
With this he bandaged his feet and tied up
his wounds, and easily effecting his way
out of the kennel, he began his fight. The
guard was asleep at a considerable dis
lance from him and he made his escape.
He travelled in his nude condition until
daylight through corn field and came to
large woods. He was half starved, torn
and bleeding from briar and brush, but he
assembled dense tree and hid in its foil
age till shutdown. During those long
hours he could hear the bloodhounds and
soldiers on his track, but their search was
in vain At nightfall he descended and
continued his fight, travelling all night
At daybreak he reached remnant of his
own ranks-twenty-fo -four hours enroute-
and after long struggle with the sentinels
was recognized and received, and nursed
back to life. His escape was one of the
most remarkable Of the war.
