progress OF the Petersburg Musical As
ISOLATION in Its carly struggles and It's
final success, referred In pleasant terms
to the beautiful new Academy as the
home of the assOciatlOn-a home bult
by itself. The musical portion OF the
programme was exceptionally fine. The
Petersburg chorus, numbering one hun
bred and fifty voices, sang IN admirable
style, and the Marine Band orchestra
rendered many beautiful numbers.
The closing address was delivered by
Mr.. Oscar Cobb, Of Chicago, the archi-
tect under whose skill and taste the old
academy has been converted into a
palace OF beauty. He pronounced the
new binding in all respects to be one OF
the most perfect and convenient south OF
the Ohio. The stage has been greatly i'm
proved, furnished with twenty-five sets
OF scenery, and graced with "A rich and
beautiful drop-curtain. The auditorium
has been enlarged, and from the
balcony and galleries every portion
Of the stage can be seen. In the
front of the building is an elegant
conservatory Of music, in which tonight
d brilliant german IS in progress, with
music furnished by the orchestra, The
acoustic properties of the building are
perfect. aud taken altogether the Acade-
nv is without fault as to comfort aud
harmony. The walls are beautifully
frescoed and painted, and opera chairs
seat the audience. Governor Lee did
not come over, but there were several
visitors from Richmond.

and that they ought TO have the courage
TO soy so, and not beat the devil around
the bush by giving clerks to committees
that had nothing to do.

ready TO vote TO give every member a

be voting for his own benefit, but for
that Of his constituents.

the salary of members. If the PROPOSE

into permanent law to take effect in
the future.

A month or more ago George ".
Blanchard, commonly known as Pro-
fessor George w. Donaldson, who was
at the time exhibiting "show" on
lower Main street, lost S697, and had
two men employed by him arrested,
charged with the larceny. They were
taken before Justice Richardson, but
there was no testimony to support the
charge, and they were discharged.
Major Poe, Chief Of Police, yesterday
received a telegram from Washington
detectives stating that they held Bessie
Morrison on the charge Of stealing the
money and asking if the papers would
be sent on. The woman was with Blan-
chard, who, the telegram said, was in
Washington, and desired an immediate
reply. Sergeant Tomlinson, who had
charge OF the case, replied that he would
not swear out the warrant that if
Blanchard wanted the woman brought
here for trial he would have to come on
here and swear out the warrant. Nothing
further has been heard about the mat
ter.

tBy telegraph to the DIspatch.l


CHEYENNE, w. T., January 9.-The
west-bound Union Pacific passenger train
that left here last night was halted near
Edison station at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing to repair slight damage to the en-
CINE. After the delay, and when the
train had proceeded but few hundred
yards, a freight train running at
a high rate of speed rounded the
curve and crashed into the rear
car, telescoping two emigrant cars,
which at once caught fire and were en-
tirely consumed. The rear OF the sleeper
was also burned. A wrecking-car and a
corps OF surgeons were soon on the
ground. Five hours after the collision
the track was cleared and the dead and
wounded were removed to Rawlins. The
following is list of the killed and in
jured A child Of Mrs. Jennie Street
aged three years, killed: infant son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson, died soon after
reaching Rawlins; William Il. Johnston,
chest injured ; Mrs. William Il. John
ston, back injured Brakeman George
Sherer, right leg broken and thigh cut ;
Miss Ida Jay, injured about the back
and abdomen James Price, right ankle
and hip injured; Mrs. James Price, back
injured; Mrs. Jennie Street, back IN
jured ID. b. Kritzer, several ribs broken
and injured internally; Mrs. ID. b.
hritzer, abdomen and chest injured A;
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Kritzer, seriously
injured.
The thermometer registered twenty
degrees below zero when the accident
occurred, and assistance was nearly fifty
miles distant. The clothing Of many
of the immigrants was consumed IN
the flames, and number were badly
frozen before reaching shelter. The
company did everything possible for the
unfortunate ones.
Scott Vermiilion, conductor OF thepns-
senger train, fed TO the adjacent bluffs
Immediately after the accident. Twenty
cowboys have searched for him all day
and believed he was rendered crazy by
the awful sight. He doubtless ran until
exhausted and then tumbled into an
isolated rayine and expired.

WAsuNGroS. January 9.--The Senate
Judiciary Committee further considered
this morning the nomination of Mr.. La
mar to he Associate Justice of the SUI
preme Court. No action was taken. The
time was chiefly consumed by Senator
Evarts in opposition to the confirmation.
He was rather sharply questioned by the
Democratic senators and retorted IN
kind. All the members of the committee
were present except Senators Wilson, Of
Iowa. and Vest, who are paired. 1T IS
in contemplation since the resignation
Of Secretary Lamar to proceed with the
cases of Messrs. Villas and Dickinson
without respect to that of Secretary La
mar. although this course has not been
determined upon.
All the members of the committee
having expressed themselves on the case,
a test vote was taken, which disclosed
the fact that two reports will be made,
the division being on strict party lines,
the majority 10 be adverse and the MI
nority favorable to confirmation. 1t was
determined, however, not to make the
reports until to morrow, and special
meeting was called for tomorrow morn
ing. During this afternoon an un~er-
standing was informally reached that the
Senate shall proceed to the considera-
ton of the cases of Villas and Dickinson
irrespective OF that of Lamar.

cuss the bill introduced IN the Legs
lature 10 extend the charter OF the Viz

Petersburgs large interest in the road.
The discussion was very full and earnest.
Strong opposition was manifested against
any further extension of the charter
unless ample guarantee IS given that the
road is to be built within a specified
time. and, indeed, some OF the speakers
opposed extension on any grounds
The history of tue company's treatment
of the city, resulting in a suit to test the
validity OF the deed OF sale to the At

opinion was expressed, based on good
authority, that il the city maintained Its
right and pushed the matter to a success

would build the new road in its own in
terests and control It. Finally resolu-
ton was adopted for the appointment of

Federal supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-ln the
United States Supreme Court to-day the
Attorney. General Of Missouri submitted
motion to dismiss for want of iurisdic-
ton the case OF Hugh Matram Brooks
alias w. Il. Maxwell, who is now in
prison in st. Louis under sentence OF
death for the murder OF Charles A. Prel-
Ter. The Attorney-Geneal maintains
that the case does not present Fed
eral question and that this court
cannot take jurisdiction Of 1t. Coun-
sci for the prisoner urge number
OF reasons for asking this court to take
jurisdiction of the case, many OF them
being similar to those which we're urged
in the case OF the Chicago Anarchists.
The motion OF the Attorney-General OF
Missouri has virtually the effect OF bring
ing Maxwell's case before this court on
its merits, and if the motion be granted
il will of course be equivalent to an
affirmation OF the sentence OF death pro-
nounced by the State court.
