O@--S Max Adler .-......---.--.........-.. --..2 The chair declared MT. Shannon the nom inee of the caucus, and on motion his nomi- nation was made unanimous The chair was about to declare the caucus adjourned when Alderman Kennedy said he would like to make motion pledging the caucus to stand by the nomination. ssThe chair will not entertain the motion, D said Alderman Spreyer, as he took his hat and hastily left the chamber amid the jeers and laughter of his Democratic brethren. After the caucus adjourned the "knots' again formed in front of the City Hall and discussed the probabilities of MT. Shannon's election. The discussion ran something in this manner:
 ftBe elected! Why, of course he will" ''Now don't you be too sure. I tell you that Charley Spreyer and his crowd are going to kick"
 s'Let 'em kick; what harm can they do?'' "Well, if the kickers can get the Republi- cans to go with them they may elect Adler after all."
 "Well; who are the kickersg' "Let's see There's Spreyer, Strouse and Goebel sure, and they claim States and J. C.. Bradley. Neither of these except Spreyer were at the caucus"
 "Well, they can't get the Republicans to do any such thing; or not all of them. Some of them would vote for Shannon in preference to Adler"
 AIter expressing Inelr Fle"s Ieety tue knots united the patriots went each their own way to think over their nights work and the results which would follow at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen on next Monday
 evening. MT. Shannon, the nominee, is machinist
 by trade and has been in the employ of the New Haven Manufacturing company for
 many years. He is about thirty-fve years of age, intelligent and of good address. For many years he was a member of the Sarsfeld
 Guard and as first sergeant of that company was considered one of the best drilled officers in the State. During the presidential cam
 paign four years ago he was colonel of a Han cock regiment of campaign ''soldiers' and did hard work for his party.

M. Bauer's Piano-RecitaI.

Sanger Hall was not closed last eve
ming. nor did Mr.. AdOlph Bauer post
pone the recital in consequence of the
weather. A goodly audience was pres
ent, and the programme, containing a
varied selection, but a high order of
music, was thoroughly enjoyed. The
Gesangverein Virginia was led by Mr..
Charles l.. Siegel, with Mr.. Bauer at
the piano. In the two choruseS sung
they did well. The Germans have al
ways excelled in their male choruses.
The romance My Love" composed
by Mr.. Bauer, and sung last eve
ming in Mr.. Cunningham's most
effective style, proved to be a compo-
sition of merit. II has beautiful
melody, which will be appreciated. The
first piano solo " Papillons " butterfly
was written by Schuman to describe the
varied scenes of ballroom in Europe.
The piece requires beautiful phrasing
and some imagination in its rendition.
None of its romanticiSm was lost, how
ever, and its exquisite little tone effects
were pleasingly reproduced. The Cho-
pin numbers consisted of a cradle song,
mazurka waltz, and polonaiSe-each
most acceptably rendered. The Faust
Souvenir was the success of the evening
in arousing the enthusiasm Of the au-
dience. and was followed by a grace
fully-eXecuted encore piece.
The recitation was omitted and its
place filled by Mr.. Cunningham's rem
dition Of " by the Sea-" by Schubert.
The pretty ballad, Dream Faces, Of
Hutchinson, was sung in response to
the recall. For careful, heartful, and
withal artistic singing, Mr.. Cunningham
has never before made a greater sue
cess. The fifteenth Rhapsodie of
Listz was Mr.. Bauer's last piano-piece.
He certainly deserves the success he
seems to have attained in our communi
ty. He is careful, painstaking artist.
and possesses the great merit of enthu

NO SUSPENDING ORDER.
Effort Of the Aitsrnev-G.neral
Before Judgr Hughes.

Attoney-General Blair appeared be-
fore Judge Hughes at Norfolk yester-
day, and made an unsuccessful effort to
get suspending order in the case Of
Parsons against the Commonwealth.
The following order was entered
In the Cirouh Court Of the United
States for the Eastern District Of
Virginia Edrn Parsons RS. Nor
ton Narye, Auditor, et ais.
This day came again the parties by
their counsel and the defendants by the
Attorney General and moved the Court
for a suspension of and an appeal from
the preliminary injunction order herein
awarded the complainant on the llth
day of February instant. which motion
the Court refused, basing the refusal of
the appeal OH the 81 section of the act
of Congress, approved February 10,
1875. entitled an act to facilitate the
disposition of cases in the Supreme
Court of the United States, which re-
quires that the value Of the matter in
dispute shall exceed the sum of $1,000
in order to cntitle the parties to an ap-
peal. X. W. HUGHEs, Judge.
NorfoH. 18th February, 1885.
1t is the opinion of Auditor Marye
that lie cannot comply with the order
of the United States Court as to these
Parsons coupons without plainly viola
ting the law, and it is likely that he
will refuse to receive them. If he or
Assistant Tinsley should re-
fuse to receive the coupons, then such one
will be brought up before the United
States Court for contempt. 1t is hoped
that in that way a haJeaS-co,pus case
can be made up so as to get the matter
before the United States Supreme
Court.
With the Auditors present under
standing of the law-the law as pub
lished yesterday he cannot receive
coupons from any treasurer or other
officer who takes them.
Such officer will have to apply to the
Legislature for relief.
