THE MUSIN CONCERT IN NEW ALBANY
IND.

Young Mems Christian Association, Al
bany Ind.
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY,
l2i PEARL STREET, Dec. u, 81.
Henry l.. Slsyton:
Dear Sir:-The Musin concert was a
marked success. Everyone seems TO have
been pleased with the entertainment
a house of about eight or nine hundred.
Enclosed find slip containin report made
by one of our papers.
Yours very truly, Z. A BROWN.
The Musin concert at the opera house
Monday night. under the auspices of the
y. NJ. c. A Star course, was by all odds
the most artistic and the best musical en-
tertainment that has been enjoyed by a
New Albany audience. Carlos Sobrino is
a great pianist, and as violin virtuoso
Mons. Divide Musin ranks and justly, with
the grand Ole Bull. Indeed, there were
those present last night who have sat
with delight under Ole Bulls wonderful
performances, who award even higher
honors to Musin than the famed Norwe-
gian won. Annie May Kessler has a voice
of wonderful compass and melody, and
was with Musin rapturously encored. Mr.
Geo. W. Horne also won the hearts of the
audience that crowded the house from the
parqyet TO the upper gallery, the duet be-
tween Mr.. Horne and Miss Kessler. which
closed the concert being brilliant gem of
song.-New Albany Paper.

A SHOE THIEF CAPTURED.

Sunday evening the arrest of the man
who had stolen the shoes from Wood,
worth's shoe store on East Oak street, was
made by Constable Rufus Cone The
fellow gave the name Of Cavenaugh and
was taken to the county Jail to await the
return of Justice Walker to have his pre-
Iimlnary hearing. He was given away by
a young man whom he had presented with
pair of the shoes, and who told where
the thief had concealed the stolen property.
This place was on the bank of Chisholm
creek, and here the shoes, seven pairs in
all. were dug up. Cavenaugh, when con-
fronted with the evidence of his crime,
said that he had the shoes in his possession
for two weeks, but finally confessed that
he had stolen them.

Alley AND THE JORY.

Our reporter seems to have made mis-
take in winding up his account of the
grand jury and its work. Chairman Alley
has no more use for or faith in a grand jury
than has the EAGLE, and he was only too
glad that they concluded to call for their
pay and stop the unnecessary expense be-
ing daily heaped upon the tax payers.
When all this matter of police commission
grand juries, etc etc, shall have adjusted
themselves and the Republican party has
taken its bearings, we hope somebody will
take the pains necessary to re-read what
the EAGLE predicted when these troubles
were first threatened.
