The fourth and last concert for this season Of
the Mendelssohn Society WAS given last night At
Plymouth Church, before good sized audience.
which filed all of the choicest seatsi In the house.
The first part of the programme was selections
from Hsndel's Messiah. the soloits being Mrs.
U. J. Hammond, Mrs. Henry Schurmann, Mr..
W. 3. Daegest and Mr.. Charles F. Hanson.
Tn choruses we're fairly good. and would have
given greater satisfaction had each one instantly
responded to the wave Of the conductors baton.
The voices were we'll balanced, and of sufficient
power TO more than fill the church. The second
part was OF miscellaneous character, in
which Prof. Paul Bahr. Mr. F. H. Hemstreet,
Mrs. Henry Sehurmann and Mr.. ID. II. Spades
rendered solos very acceptably. A duet, THE
Spanish Morning Serenads.' was admirably
sung by Mrs. Anna l.. Walker and Miss Saidee
Walker TO the beautif accompaniment played
by Mr. Hanson. The audience desired n repeti-
ton, but it was not given. The closing .slnflam-
matus" from Rossiuis "Stabat Mater" by Mrs.
Hammond and the society,awas we'll given. The
Accomplishments were . pronounced feature OF
the concert. Mr.. julius f. Kohl presided at the
piano and Prof. Bahr sustained the heavier BASS
ages on the organ. A programme like the one
selected should have years hard and co Instant
study. There is material enough In the socie ~
for fine chorus and IL lie capable Of . much
better rendition under such an able conductor
Professor Barus.

ORDERED TO QUIZ WORK.


In seeordancs with the resolution passed by
night. Street Commissioners Roney yesterday
morning called upon Manager Shsffer and noti-
fed him that no more streets must be dug up
until the Council granted permission Mr..
Shaffsr stated that be Was acting under instruc-
sions from mis- superior officers in Chicago and
could not stop work. Mr.. Roney then called or
the foremen In charge Of the various sxtensio ns
and ordered them to quit After considerable
wrapgling the workmen were stopped from
digging up the streets for new stretches Of
track. and were put to completing the tracks
which had been begun. There will b. enough
work on the unfinished tracks to keen the COM
panys employees busy for several days. and II it
10 not then permitted to 60 ahead with their ex-
tensions it is proposed to bring the question be-
fore the courts. The officers Of the Citizens
company say 1t IL not their intention to be arbi-
trary In the matts. and they expect fair treat
ment I'VE know We have right to 60 ahead
and complete the lines We have begun said q
member Of the company. "but we are willing to
wait and have the fact demonstrated conclusive
ly to the Council"
The Dudley company yesterday had force Of
men at work completing the track IL had begun
on Meridian street, but no more streets will be
disturbed until the matter Of franchise IL def
nitely settled. Colonel Holloway thinks it is
unfair for the Council to ask the company he
represents to bid on franchise. when il already
has right to the streets Ia case cable road is
built IF We not granted . right for an
slectric-motor road, said he. I'VE will still hold
our cable franchise. and will try to build that
kind of q road" The counciimen hope to per-
msuently settle the questions so far as they are
concerned at the special meeting TO morrow

HANK WALLS BARGAIN.

days of its existence, when the trail led
from Bismarck to Deadwood. was well
come fact which many a weary traveller
in search of the land of promise can
cheerfully testify to. but nevertheless it
was source of much speculation as to
how the immunity granted tue line was
to be accounted for. The Sidney stage
was held up on nearly every trip,
messengers killed and passengers robbed.
In 1877 the line commenced operations
between Bismarck and the Black Hills.
doing passenger traffic and also haul
ing the gold bricks of the Homestake
Nine, often amounting to $500, 600,
thereby promising a rich harvest for the
festive road agent who at that time in
tested the country through which the
trail ran. Mountains and gulehes lined
each side of the imprevised road, unin.

magnificent retreat for the robbers, who
could ..hold up's coach and escape
with their booty into the hills, where it
was simply impossible to find them,
much less recover the property.

the hills, and who were q terror to trav-

tiOns were also taken in the way of guar T.
ing each coach, four outriders, armed
with repeating rifles and selected with
reference to their workmanship and
nerve, riding before and behind the
coach on each trip, about one hundred
yards distant, thus providing against
surprises and incidentally protecting the
passengers These arrangements soon
rendered the road agents occupation not
only improbable but attended by an ele-
Iaent of danger which he did not relish.

Russian Progress in Central Asia.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Times Democrat
Whatever may be thought of the pol
icy of Russia, either in Europe or in
Asia. it is impossible to feel any other
sentiment than admiration for the en-
ergy. the perseverance and the courage
of the men who have been the instru-
ments in extending her dominion east
ward and southeastward through the
arid regions of Tartary and Turkestan.
These men are simply servants of the
State soldiers, for the most part. They
are not responsible for the aggressions
which are effected through them: they
simply obey Instructions well and effee-
| lively. In obedience to the orders of
his government. Skobeleff attacks and
| DESTROYS the Tekke Turkomans. We
| may execrate the central power that
gives such directions, but we cannot re-
| fuse to recognize the admirable COM
| pleteness with which the orders were
carried out.
| But the trIumphs of the Russians in
| Central Asia have not been solely of a
sanguinary kind. They have effected
| mechanical victories over natural obsta-
cles for which they are entitled to I'M
adulterated praise. Their Trans Caspian
| Railway is a marvellous work, carried
out in the face of extraordinary difficult
| ties. The successful laying and preser-
walton of the track across the Kara-Kum
desert is an especially noteworthy feat
| of engineering, the credit of which Is
| due To Gen. Annenkoff. It was be-
/ lieved that the shifting sands of that
| barren tract would block the railroad to
! such an extent as to completely obstruct
the traffic. But Annenkof circum-
vented the shifting sands. He EN-
banked his road with clay. reverted with
| branches of desert shrub, and he
planted and cultivated in the neighbor-
| hood of the track vast numbers of plants
the roots of which hold the sand. He
| brought his water in pipes from the
nearest mountains, from the Murghab
River, and in some places obtained il
from artesian wells. The entire coun-
/ try is almost devoid of fuel: but petro-
leum supplies the want, and not only
drives the locomotives but warns the
sixty railway stations that have already
been established.
The latest engineering ach vement in
that region is the completion and open
| ing to traffic of the bridge over the
/ Oxus, across which the first train of
/ cars passed just three weeks ago. 1t is
about a thousand feet longer than the
Brooklyn bridge, although the water
/ spawned by the latter is in breadth and
volume UNNECESSARILY greater than the
water OF the classic Central Asian
river. All Central Asian streams are
pretty much alike in character; the river
bed is immensely broad in proportion to
the stream. A river only a hundred
feet wide struggles through sandy null
lab or canyon that measures half mile
across. But the banks of this can
yon are generally steep, the river FREE
quently shifts its course and the whole
| has to be bridged before railroad can
he brought across. From the OXus to
Samarcand, the ancient capital of Ii
muir, all will be plain sailing.
