the world renowned yioloncellist. The
skillful ease with which Blumenberg exc
cutes the most difficult passages, the Won
derful clearness and perfection of the har-
monies, and the delicate pianissimo rem
derings stamp this artist as one who need
not fear riyalry.-N, Y, Sun.
Of Miss Annie Carpenter, the famous
soprano, the New York Musical Courier
says: Miss Carpenters voice is dramatic
soprano, full and powerful, and of great
range. During the season OF 1857 Miss
Carpenter was the soprano at the brick
church, Fifth avenue and Thirty
street, this city. which she left in order to
pursue her musical education in Paris,
where she was one of La Oranges most
successful students Miss Carpenter is
one of the few American singers who have
gained marked distinction in the private
musical circles of Paris, and the honors
heaped upon Miss Carpenter by all the
prominent journals, both as Il fine vocalist
and exceedingly handsome aud charming
lady, cannot be but an omen of very
successful future career for that lady. We
shall doubtless hear Miss Carpenter in
New York during next season. Aside from
her abilities as a concert singer, Miss Car
pepter is thoroughly equipped in all the
oratores, and she is, in fact, an artlste OF
versatility.

TWO OLD CRONIES.
The Atchison Globe OF recent date has
the following complimentary notice OF
1.-TWO Old Cronies' which will appear at
Crawford's on this evening:
There was unlimited fun at the opera
house last night when Two Old Cronies"
occupied the boards. Mills and Henshaw
the professor" and "Duff," are kings OF
board comedy, and are intensel y funny.
The chorus is sufficiently good looking
and scanty in apparelto suit that immense
old humbug, the most fastidious." The
songs of the entire company are new and
each singer an artist Those deserving Of
special notice are: Let all obey''-a bass
solo-by Mr.. Al. Bellman; The Old Set
tee by the Door," by Miss Dorothy Gray.
while the audience We're completely car
ried away with Across the Bridge" by
Mr. Henshaw This is deceptive song
and carries with it the sentiment that
touches the heart strings. The dance 10y
Miss Ten Brock, Messrs Wills and Hen
shaw was something unusually Interest

FINISHED AT ST. LOUIS.
The Beef Investigation Adjourned te
Washington.


Washington.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24.-The investigating
committee were late in coming to order
yesterday morning, it being nearly twelve
O'Clock before the chairman's gavel fell.
Senator Plumb was not present, and Sena-
tor Cullom was too i'll to be there and had
gone home. William Peters, of Allegheny
City, Pa, was the first witness. He has
been butcher in Pittsburgh for the past
thirty years. He was asked what effect
the dressed beef trade had on
that market and said that
it had depressed the butchers
interests. He had refused to handle it at
first, but the butchers were told by the
Armours that if they didn't handle it they
would establish shops in that vicinity,
which they did. The dressed beef people
also sold lard for IS cents, which couldn't
be made and sold for 12K cents. Witness
said the cattle trade had fallen off great
deal in Allegheny. After obtaining con-
troll the dressed beef companies had
closed their shops and the butchers are
now selling their goods.
Jefferson Reynolds, of Las Vegas. N.
NJ, was the next witness. He said: 'Con-
tinued depression in prices we receive for
When / was i'm New York and Hartford 1
inquired at the hotels and of the butchers
whether they were paying as much for
their cattle as three years ago and they
said more. informed them that we were
not getting within fifty per cent. of what
we got three years ago."
Senator Manderson-What did youXet
for cattle five years ago?
Witness-About S31.
Senator Mander son-What do you get
now?
Witness-About Si1.
Senator Manderson-The cattle losses in
Montana three years ago swere unprece-
denied, were they not?
Witness-Yes; so l have been informed.
Senator Vest-And yet your business
was not benefited in the least!
Witness-Yes, we expected an increased
trade, but there was no advance.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reynolds testi-
mony Senator Henderson said that he
thought as only a minority of the commit
tee were present it wouldn't be advisable
to continue the investigation, and as the
investigation could be taken up more adj
vantageously when Congress met in
Washington, he would move that an adj
journment be taken until December >, and
that the committee reconvene at the capi-
tai, which was agreed to.

Struggle With a Burglar.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 23.-George Burgraff,
who runs a meat market on the outskirts
of the city and lives in the rear, was
awakened early yesterday morning by a
slight noise and as he raised his head two
men opened the door between the shop and
his room and entered. Jumping up he
seized the man nearest him. The other
ran to the counter near by in the shop,
picked up two cleavers and returned to
the aid of his companion. A terrible on
slaught was made on Burgraff who made
a bold defense after receiving a terrible
cut on the head. The noise aroused the
family and one of the burglars was Sc
cured. The other made off. AT the station
the prisoner gave his name as Henry
Walter, a German, twenty-four years old.
