Mater" TO be given at the Cathedral next
Thursday evening. The fact that pro-
duction with such merit as the "Stabat Ma
ter" is to be given in Savannah ought to be
sufficient 10 fill the largest auditorium in
the city. The music is extremely difficult,
and artists of renowned reputation have
found the solos, duets and quartettes
subject for study. The choruses require.
for proper rendition. strength and pre-
ctsiou and great taste in phrasing and
shading. 1t was recently produced in
Chicago nv the Apollo Club OF that city,
and the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, a
combination capable of presenting the
most difficult music written.
The mOdulations Of the piece are very
trying, aud require the most careful train

has secured between fifteen and twenty
members o. his orchestra from Charles

direction, and the audience, however large

THE COST OF CATCHING HIM.

The wonders of the magnetic telegraph
are illustrated in the detention at Auckland
of Maxwell, the murderer of Preller, in st.
Louis about four weeks ago. The murderer
went from st. Louis to San Francisco, from
which city he sailed for Auckland, New
Zealand. AS soon as it became clear that
Maxwell was the murderer, the St. Louis
authorities Immediately put the telegraph
into requisition. The message cost over
So per word, and was sent from st. Louis to
New York, and from New York to North
Sydney, Cape Breton, by land lines; cable
to Valencia, Ireland; thence by land across
Ireland; cable underneath St. Georges
Channel to London; by another cable, Lon
don to Lisbon, Portugal, thence by cable
to the Island of Malta, where it was repeat
ed through another cable to Alexandria,
Egypt; land lines conveyed itto Suez, from
whence it went by cable beneath the Red
Sea to Alden, Arabia, on the Gulf of Alden !;
by cable again under the Arabian Sea to
Bombay, India, and land wires Bombay
to Penang, on the Malay Peninsula; ca
BILE again to the Island of Java, where it
was repeated through another cable to Port
AarWin, North Australia; land lines took
it to Sydney, from whence it again took
to water by the South Pacific cable to reach
Wellington, New Zealand. From Welling-
ton it went by land to Auckland, where, it
was effective in capturing the murderer.

THE RICHMOND TRAGEDY.

The trial of Cluverius for the murder of
Miss Madison on the 18th of last March, is
now progressing in Richmond. This is the
most noted capital case that has been on
the Virginia criminal dockets for number
of years. In connection with this affair
public feeling in Virginia has run very
high, and it was with difficulty that a jury
was secured, a week having been consumed
in this feature of the case alone, several
hundred men having been summoned on
different centres. The jury was completed
on the 18th and the hearing of evidence
commenced on the 10Th. The examination
of witness is slow and tedious, and the trial
bids fair to consume several weeks. 1t is
understood that the aim of Cluverius will
be to prove an aH6i, which his friends as
sert he will be able to do. We print on the
fourth page of this papera full history OF
this interesting case, and upon its features
as there outlined the State is now conduct
ing the prosecution.
