The musicale given by the Grace Or

the best program yet rendered by
that ambitious and excellent or.
ganization of amateur musicians
The rendition OF last nights selections
would have been creditable to profess
sionals. Much of the improvement
which has lifted the orchestra to it's
present high musical plane, Ia due to its
leader and director, Mr. g. H. Lauer.
This is the program that was given
last evening:

The numbers of the second part Of the
program, were, perhaps rendered with
the most smoothness. There were some
crescendo effects in the first overture and
in the fourth number, there were some
fine combination effects. "The Lost
Chord, was an effective and expressive
rendering of difficult selection that Is
often poorly played The cornet solo was
praiseworthy. There were good from.
bone, flute and clarionet solos IN the
second overture. The finely shaded
violin playing in the waltz was warmly
applauded. Mr.. Lauer played piano
obligato to the clarionet solo. II was to
many the most enjoyable number Of the
program. Mr.. Saulino brought tones of
the most'liquid quality from his instru-
ment and mechanically his playing was
excellent. His encore was "The Last

Grievances Which Goad the Residents Of
Pickeltown-L License Applicants.
The residents of the lower end of the
Ninth ward have several little griev-
ances which cause them TO grumble An
elecric light is needed at Fifteenth and
Claymont streets. A foot bridge spans
the ditch at this point, and here lies the
trouble. The colored men of the
vicinity loaf on the bridge and insult
respectable persons as they pass 1t
is dangerous for woman to cross alone,
because of these ruffians. The location
of the bridge favors foul deeds.
The property holders Of the lower
end of the Ninth ward look on the
Street and Sewer Department with the
utmost contempt. They say that since
the commission has been in operation the
streets have been cleaned Just once
They never see q garbage cart, and would
be surprised If they did No ash carts
ever find a way over there, but the people
dump their ashes on the lots.
The residents of the northern end of
this ward, are much troubled with water
in their cellars. The Kennebec Ice and
Coal Company has an ice pond beyond
Vandever avenue, and in this season the
gates are put down that the pond may fill
up and freeze.
1t filed up few days ago and over
flowed Vandever avenue as far down as
the Jute Works, and ran into the cellars
Of the houses within a square. The col
ored population was dampened The
brick houses at the corner of ClaYmont
street and Vandever avenue were flooded
and the impromptu school house
could not be opened. John H. Forrest, the
grocer at Lodge and Claymont streets
had to raise his sugar and other perish
able articles on skids to protect them
from the water. James Fl. Beggs, the
brick maker, drove through two feet
deep of water to get into his brick yard.
The coming Of the license1 court is
creating a deal of talk. Emil Beck,
Eleventh and Heald streets, is leading
in the race for a license. No
remonstrance has been made against him
and the temperance people believe he
desires to stick to the law. Philip Am
bold. Eleventh and Railroad; George
Griffith. Eleventh ane Heald; and the
Percival House are applicants for license.

WHY IT WAS.

Several causes of the recent performance in Iowa have been made public, and now comes another, and 8 very interesting one name under which the granger element in Iowa operates, has been SO severe in opposis
 tion to the railroads and has succeeded in putting them under so many disabilities in that State that but little in the way of de-
 velopment or improvement has taken place for several years in the railroad system of
 the State, and this condition, reaching, as 1t inevitably must, the working classes con- nected with the railroad corporations, has produced an antagonism which has resulted in union of forces and . partially concerted action, which Is said to have controlled at least 15. 900 votes at the late election and to have cast them against the Republican can- didate. The Northwestern Railroader, speak ing of this movement of railroad employees, says: The railroad employees have awakened to the knowledge of their own strength. They have learned that their cause is not the gran ger cause, and that they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by policy of oppression of the companies from whom they get their work, their salaries, their bread and butter. Republicanism and Democracy, in the abstract, have no interest for them. They are not swayed by party motives, and are no more under the leadership of party bosses than of "the corporations" But whatever the party may be, or whoever the man may be, that strikes at their very means of living, that party or that man will feel the weight of their enmity at the polls. The great coun- long needed of the granger vote has been found. It is the vote of the or- Ranized railroad men,
