At the Town Hail.-rhe concert and
festival given in aid of the NJ. E. Church
South, of this place, at the Town Hall, on
Friday evening last, was decided success.
The most interesting part of the enter
tainment consisted OF the recitations by the
noted elocutionist, Mr.. +. B. Hay, of Wash
ington, who was complimented with ap-
plause at the close of each piece The vo-
cal and instrumental music was also very
fine, and was well received by the large
audience present The receipts of the even
ing footed up nearly one hundred dollars.
large and fashionable audience was in
attendance at the above place of amusement
on Tuesday evening last to witness the per-
iormance of Boyd's Dramatic Troupe, of
Washington and the general sentiment of
those present seemed to be that is was de.
cidedly the best exhibition in that line that
has ever been given here The sterling
comedy entitled "Among the Breakers" was
rendered in such a style as to win plaudits
for all engaged. The principal character
in the play was personated by Mr. James F.
Lacey, OF the Government Printing Office,
who by his fine acting clearly shows that
he has great natural talent for the stage
Without going into details in regard to the
other characters we must say that they all
did remarkably well.
The performance concluded with the
laughable farce of "Mr and Mrs. Peter
White which was highly enjoyed The
recitations by Miss Percy Haswell were
fully up To the standard Of more advanced
years and made her general favorite, while
the singing ELECTED rounds of applause.

Convention "A special meeting of the
Standing Committee of the Protestant Eps-
copal Diocese of Maryland was held in Bal
timore on Monday last TO consider the ques-
ton of whether or not Il special meeting of
the convention should be called at an early
date to elect successor to- the late Bishop
Pinkney. The general impression had gone
forth that special convention would GER
tainly be called, nearly all of the aity and
many OF the clergy concurred in this idea !;
but the committee, after long elaboration
over the matter, passed the following:
Res0tged, That after full and careful con
sideration, weighing the opinions of many
whose judgment is worthy of the highest
respect, we find no clear authority vested in
the Standing Committee of the Diocese of
Maryland 10 call n special convention.
The committee transacted much other
business relative to the affairs of the do.
cese. All the records Of Bishop Pinkney's
Episcopal work, since his last report to the
convention, are now in the hands of the
Standing Committee. A committee was
appointed to make arrangements for hold
ing memorial service some time during the
coming fall, after which the meeting ad
jonrned. 1t appears that in some diocese
the Standing Committee is vested with the
power to call special meetings of the dio-
cesian conventions, but such is not the case
in Maryland The Bishop being President
Of the convention, alone had the power, ac-
cording to the rules of the convention, 10
call special meeting. BY the action Of the
committee the election Of a Bishop is now
deferred until the mex: regular meeting of
the convention, in May, 1884.

statements in q sensational dispatch from
this city published in Chicago this morn,
ing to the effect that the body Of Abraham
Lincoln were removed from the sarcophs.
gus shortly after the attempted decoration
aud have never since repcssd there, is not
true. The Slate Register a short time
ago sent an inquiry to ]. @. Power
custodian Of the monument, ssking:
"Where are the remains Of Mr.. Lincoln
deposited at present; and are they turning
TO stone2" Mr.. Power wrote long card
in reply, which was published, giving a
history Of placing the remains in leaden
easket in cedar coffin in the sarcophagus,
and the sarcophagus in the monument,
where they. remained undisturbed till the
attempted desecration Of November I, 1876,
when the robbers removed one end OF the
ssrcophagus and drew out the wooden and
leaden cases, but were scared away before
accomplishing their object. The exami-
nation Of the screws elbows the nicks are
all filled with rust. The caskets were then
and the earcophagus sealed up,
since which time the tomb was never dis.
turbed.

called on Mr.. Powers to-day and asked
him II be hsd any reply 10 make to the
Dispatch. He said bis card pub

remains OF Abraham Lincoln have

they were soldered up 10 the lead
coffin, 0ctob ro!h, 1871, two years before

As have already said, they are absolutely
