The Mozart Inst Ntght.

Notwithstanding the attractions else
where's large audience was In attendance
last evening at the six-hundred-and-
eighth weekly musicale of the Mozart
Association.
The Amateur Orchestra was on hand,
and played three numbers on the pro
gramme in a creditable manner.
The principal attraction of the eve
ming, however, was two pleasant young
ladies' from New York city-Misses
Florence Hervy and Alice Mcpherson,
pupils Of the distinguished contralto
Mis- Hattie Clapper, also of New York.
Miss Hervy has well-cultivated and
pure soprano voice, though it IS not very
strong. She Is, however, very young,
and her voice will doubtless strengthen
as she natures. Her pieces, "Summer
Night" and ITO Sevilla, required con-
siderable skill and taste to render them ac-
ceptably, and these Miss Heryy brought
to their execution.
Miss Mcpherson sung her two solos
with great feeling and expression, and
gives promise of rankisg among the
leading cOntraltos upon the concert
stage.
The duet venetian Boat Song. sung
by the two ladies, is a beautiful com
position, and was heartily applauded 10y
the audience.
\ talent unusual with vocalists was
displayed by these yonng ladies in their
exquisite piano playing. They rendered
the instrumental duet Radieuse," by
Gottschalk, like two professors of music,
and gave great satisfaction to the cult
waited audience present.

DASvILLE, Va, January pa daring
but unsuccessful attempt at Jail delivery
was made here last Saturday night.
There were some sixteen prisoners i'll the
Jail at the time and the turnkey had re-
ported locking all hands in their cells.
The parties we're confined on various
charges, from murder down, and four
teen had been sent on TO the grand jury
from the lower court Two of the prison
ers-a white man and colored woman
were securely locked up, but the cells of
the others had been left open, as
the turnkey afterwards stated, on
account of his life having been
threatened il he failed to do so. The
riDgleaders in the affair we're several
negroes who we're arrested for stealing
tobacco from barns in this county, and
had they been given few more minutes
fourteen Of the sixteen would have had
their freedom. They had succeeded in
removing q lot of bricks from around
the iron door, and took blanket, placed
in it large stepping-stone weighing 800
or ], 200 pounds, which was used as
battering ram. The night-watchman was
on the outside of the building and
heard the blow. His suspicious were
aroused that something was wrong ard
he went into the yard. The noise made by
his walking on the ice was either heard
by the parties on the inside or bis pres
euce was reported by a lookout, for the
noise ceased and everything became as
silent as death. He secured assistance,
and on going inside all the prisoners
we're in their cells, but bricks were lay
ing around loose, and the stone
wrapped up told too plainly what had
been attempted. The jailer has been in
the habit of letting the prisoners out of
their cells to warm these cold nights be-
fore turning the key on them all night,
but this attempt to get free will deprive I
them of even this much liberty.

flowing freely from the wound in his

before the arrival of the physician

of great pain and of mnch difficulty in
breathing. The wound was probed, but
his sufferings were such that its extent
could not be satisfactorily determined.

Especial telegram 10 the Dlspstchl
EAsTILLE. VA, January 23.-Every
one has been convinced that William G..
Duer, who is in the Eastville Jail for the
murder of his wife, is periodically insane,
and that it was during one of these pc
RODS that the deed wes committed. For
the last three days his mind has been SO
unbalanced that he would not converse
with any one nor answer any questions
asked HIM, neither would he eat anything
while any one was present. AS soon as
any one approaches the Jail he will run
and jump into his bed and cover up as
though he were afraid and wished to
protect himself from harm. To-day he
has been in n much worse condi-
ton than at any previous time,
being so uncomfortable that the taller
was compelled to call in the assistance
of four stout men to throw him down
and place leg-irons upon him and chain
him ~ the floor. He first attacked the
jailer when he went into the cell TO fix
the fire because the coal-bucket was not
placed in position to suit him. This
seemed to enrage him and caused him
to act so desperately Chat no other alter
native was left but to place him in irons.
Great sympathy IS expressed for him i'll
his present condition, and it is the opin-
ion of all that some further legal steps
should be taken to have him committed
to the insane asylum without waiting to
see what may be done by the grand jury,
which does not convene until the middle
OF February.

ST.. LOUIS, January 23.-Ihe suit for
$4,000 damages brought by j. j. Nc
Garry against the Missouri Pacific rail
road for malicious prosecution, growing
out Of the railroad strike in 1886, resulted
to-day in a verdict of $1,000 for the
plaintiff. McGarry was an influential
member Of the knights OF LABOR. He
was arr s,ed with number of others
charged with hindering the traffic of the
railroad, and was acquitted. He then
brought the above suit. aud the result is
considered great victory for the knights
of Labor
