MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT H1euLANDs.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION AT HIGHLANDS.
We have no telegraphie report of the
election which took place in the city OF
Highlands on the 4th inst. for mayor
Authentic information enables us to
state positively that our distinguished
friend, S. w. Hill, Esquire, was elected
after strenuous opposition, which at
length, under the imposing conviction
of the transcendant qualifications OF
Squire Hill, dwindled down to one vote
cast against him. Itwas the overwhelm-
ing triumph of law and order. Peace, Sc
curity, internal prosperity are all assured
in the hands of the new Mayor of High
lands. We congratulate the county on
the auspicious result.

waters of the dock followed by cries
for help. The sound seemed to come
from the direction Of Eighteenth and

station. and Policeman Enright was sent
to investigate the matter. lie found a
hat. basket, two oranges, and some
apples floating in the dock at the foot oil
Eighteenth street. A small quantity oil
butter was also found. This led the
officer to suspect that the owner oil
these things had fallen into the dock.
Attempts were made during Sunday to
find the body, but without success.
Yesterday morning Thomas Camp

and about noon the body was found.
When recovered it was ascertalned To

Io-efFy &c the Theatre.

This pianist, who came here heralded
as a grand artist and virtuoso. fully sus-
tanned his reputation last evening at the
Theatre. The programme contained
fifteen numbers, SO divided as to have
three intermissions, thus giving the
audience time for pleasant criticism.
Mr.. Josefy played five pieces OF his
own composition, one of them, 1.-The
Mill" being an encore selection. The
well-known "Sonata Appassionata" Of
Beethoven was enthusiastically received
and much enjoyed. especially by our
Richmond pianists, nearly all of whom
were present.
The Chopin Nocturne No. s Cd ilat)
brought to recollection the exquisite
violin performance few seasons since
of the same piece by Wilhelmj.
The Twelfth Rhapsodie Of Listz was
a most remarkable piece of execution,
while the Midsummer Nights Dream,
by the same composer, was perhaps
more exacting.
The selections throughout were beau
tiful, without being heavy, and for
his first appearance remarkably well
chosen.
Rafael JoSefly (yo-sef-i) was born in
Hungary, and has sustained the enyia-
BILE reputation of being the greatest
pianist in America since 1879. the year
of his first appearance here.
His technique is superb and bis phra-
sing refined and musical. He attracts
the greatest attention possible through
the daintiness, uniform crispness. and
briliancy of his playing. As com
poser he has not yet attained great or
lasting reputation.
If the Theatre is 10 be chosen for the
appearance of musical artists, it were
best that no one be allowed to enter
during the performance of any one
piece. The effect of the Sonata last
night was spoiled to many on account

The Anti-Ceupop paper.


The resolutions adopted by the meet
ing of taxpayers on Friday last were
circulated for signatures yesterday.
The signers agree to pay their dues to
the State not in coupons, but in money.
Some persons are under the impress
sion that since the State is TO have an
appeal in the Parsons case further ac-
ton in this respect is not necessary.
They are mistaken. The fact that the
State would have an appeal in the Par
sons case was stated at the taxpayers
meeting by Colonel Paul. The Parsons
proceeding is only one Of great num-
Der and of large variety Of coupon
cases against the State.
The idea Of the meeting was that
sure way to get the debt out of politics
is to have the people, particularly Of
this city, where nearly all Of the cou-
pons are used, to agree not to offer cou-
pons for tax and license-paying pur-
poses.
Movements similar to this will doubt
less be put on foot all over the Com
monwealth.
All Of our tax and license-payers
will be given opportunity to sigs the
Richmond resolutions. After that,
probably, the meeting will be recon
vened to see what further action is ne
cessary.
Those who attended the meeting, As
well as those who did not, are request
ed to sign the resolutions.
The signatures, when obtained. will
be placed in the hands Of the officers of
the meeting; r. E. Blankenship, Esq,
president.
