What Became OF the salvation Army Ap.
peal Cases.

Yesterday afternoon 90 the opening Of the
Superior Court at 2 P. NJ, there was a
large gathering Of people in the court ROOM
drawn thither by the report that the blood
and fire warriors were to answer before the
bar Of justice for beating the drum in the
streets of Augusta. The prospective trial
seemed to attract full as much attention as
murder case. and the assemblage was of a
the crowd were the lasses and braves of the
Salvation Corps, anxiously awaiting develop
ments. At the opening Of court John II.
Potter, Esq, who, with II. NJ. Heath, ESQ.,,
represented the drum heaters. arose from his
seat Immediately in front Of the Clerks desk
and amid intense silence, presented three ap-
peal papers coming from the Municipal
Court of Augusta, two of which were against
Capt. Thacher and one against Cadet Nc
CARNEY for the part which they took in
the uprosr caused by the beating Of the drum
in the ranks of the Salvation Army and moved
that thew be quashed on the ground of defect
in the papers. He held that the respondents had
committed no offence known to the common or
statute law that the manner in which the Of
fence WAS committed or what street was not
stated that the city ordinance under which the
respondents were held had been repealed.
Judge Whtehouse then took the papers, care
fully examined them, and quashed the two
warrants against Capt. Thatcher on the ground
that there was no specification of what he
had done, ard no street or place designated
where the ofense had been committed; and
the one against Mccartney by reason that
there were two ofenses charged in the same
warrant. This disposes of all the cases
coming before the Superior Court from the
Municipal. This morning the trial of
the Savationists will commence under the
indictment found by the Grand Jury.

THE TuURSBY CONCERT.


1t is gratifying to note that large audience
attended the Concert last evening to welcome
Miss Emma Thursby and her company, for
they deserve the best in the way CT welcome
our citizens could give. And the audience
was certainly appreciative, applauding gen.
erously the different numbers. Miss Thursby
has very sweet, clear voice that, added to
her manner of rendering, so in sympathy
with her selections made her favorite at
once. To those who ask for description Of
NJ. DeKontski's playing we say, go and hear
him. He possesses wonderful power and
skill which enable him to produce wonderful
effects. His most accelerated passages were
performed with a smoothness, and his most
pianissimo ones with dstinctness most
charming to the ear. while in other parts one
could almost feel the notes as they came from
his fingers. Mr.. Tyler, tenor, and Miss
Pardee, contralto, gave very pleasing selec-
lions last night. and form strong support
for Miss Thursby.
