NOT A RUNAWAY MATCH.


Baltimore Special.
Colonel Richard T. Allison. of this city a
cousin of the late General Dick Taylor and
nephew of President Zach Taylor, was called
upon to-day, and had his attention directed
to the statement going the rounds of the
press that Jefferson Davis, ex-President of
the Southern Confederacy had run away
with his first wife, Miss Knox Taylor, and
married her clandeStinely in Galena, ILL.,
Mr.. Allison denied the truth of the state
ment in every particular. He said Il was
present at the wedding of Mr.. Davis with my
cousin, in Jefferson county, KY, about three
miles from Louisville. There was no run
away match. Knox was stopping at the
home of our aunt, Mrs. Gibson Taylor, and
Davis was at the home of my father, Captain
J. s. Allison. General Taylor, brother to
General Zachary, with his family, was pres
ent, and so were Others of the family. The
father of Miss Taylor was opposed to the
match, and that was all, and it is true that he
and Davis never became reconciled until
after the battle of Buena Vista. The mar
riage was not runaway one in any. sense of
the term. Mrs. Davis only survived her mar
riage year or So After the reconcilement,
General Zachary Taylor and Mr.. Davis were
good friends, and entertained great respect
for each other"

THE CINCINNATI FESTIVAL.
Probable Profits from the Ten Performances
In Music Hall.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Yesterday.


Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Yesterday.
The management decline to furnish the
financial result for publication. Colonel
Mapleson favored giving it to the press for
the reason that he believed it would be for
the advantage of all concerned to have the
facts known, but Colonel Nichols thought
differently. 1t has been ascertained. how
ever, that the entire receipts of the eight
performances of the festival proper
were about $4,000. The two ex-
ira performances yielded something
better than $4,000 The total receipts
were therefore between $125,OOO and $780,
900. The highest estimates of the receipts
which were made in advance placed them at
100000 This figure, it will be seen, was 40
per cent. too low The expenses, on the
other hand, were estimated at $65, 900 A
gentleman, who is very close to Colonel
Mapleson, said last evening that $65, 900
would not only cover the expenses of the
festival proper, but of the two extra operas
also. These figures gave net profit Of from
$50, 900 to $65, 900 to be divided between the
College of Music and Colonel Mapleson. 1t
has been the talk of the corridors during the
festival that Mapleson is to have the lions
share of the net as well as the gross proceeds.
However, the pile is a very handsome one to
divide on any terms.

ENGLISH s-THE KLAUCZEK-CRANCH CONCERT.
An invitation concert can always be depended
on for liberal patronage. and last night was no
exception. Every available space in Englsh's
Opera-house was filled, and a better and more
thoroughly enjoyable entertainment would be
hard to imagine Miss Cranch, the vocalist
from Cincinnati, sang here number of years
ago at one of Prof. Black s concerts. and her ap-
pearance last evening could scarcely be called
initial. Her two numbers were pleasing and
called for encOres. In the aria from Meyerbeer
she showed fine vocalizatiOn and method; Her
voice is pure clear and rich and she
gained many admirers by her singing.
Miss Klauczek is a former tOwnswoman. having
lived here about twelve years ago. Years of
constant study and CO ntinual practice have
made her one of the foremost pianists In the
country. Her technique is almost perfect. and
her rendering of the most difficult passages IN
compositions of Weber, Chopin, MendelssOhn,
Bendel and Liszt showed a complete mastery of
style and breadth of comprehension. she
warmly applauded.
