quet accounts, it will lie seen that with
9I'o, OOO the committe will probably not
come out anywhere near square.
The expenses for the bail and banquet
almost of necessity 90 together, for the
reason that the cost of building the an
nexes to the Opera House and the decora.
tons of the bnilding are necessarily char
ged up against both entertainments. The
cost Of these two affairs will undoubtedly
aggregate 800, 600 Here are some of the
items as set down in the original estimate
Metropolitan Opera House Company, for
use of building, S3,1OO; +. s. Stoker. for
banquet, 500 guests ut SIP each, So, 800;
wines thereat, s., 300; supper at ball, at S.
head, probably 5000 people, $4,000;
wine at supper for same number, $l3, 1875;
construction OF boxes on stage. So, 100:
decorations Of supper room, 81, 300; music
$500; police, $3.50; staining vestibule
$25; cloak room and ushers, $3.50; printing
81, $50; steam fitting, $500; vestibule doors,
$780, Madison Square Bank, for selling
tickets, 5000; electric lights, 81, 600; door
servants, $50. Total, S60,5l5.
In addition to this the buildings in
Thirty-ninth street and Seventh avenue
will cost from S12, 600 u $15, 1000, which
of course will have TO be charged up to the
entire cost Of the ball and the banquet,
and since the above list WAS made out
other expenses, such az $500 to Edmund
c. Stanton, for his services in superintend-
ing the Opera House ON the evening Of the
ball and expenditures for similar objects.
What the deficit in the ball and banquet
accounts will be cannot be estimated, or
how mnch more than SITS, 900, which the
committee has in it's hands, will be re.
quired. Whatever the difference may be
will have to be met by private subscrip.
scriptiOns.
The money actually expended of course
includes the Sl75, 600 committee money,
S125, 600 to the National Guards, $40, ,00O
to the Grand Army of the Republic. and
various appropriations by the different
States for the transportation and msinte-
nance of their troops Massachusetts, alone
appropriated 100000 These are of the
official expenditures. The private expen-
diture3 run up into seven figures.

CRUSHED IN THE MASS.
Two Serious Accidents In Ohicago's Cele.
bratiOn.

CHICAGO, May lit is exceedingly
difficult to secure reliable information in
regard to the number of people who were
hurt in the crushes on the Lake front and
at Lincoln Park last night. very large
proportion of the injuries received were Of
comparatively trifling character and
those who suffered them went at once b
their homes; while many others who were
more badly hurt were Immediately taken
in charge by friends, and conveyed TO
private houses, before the police or the re
porters were able to secure their names or
destinations. All Of those who were taken
TO hospitals are reported as doing well
this morning, and il is not believed that
any facilities will result among them. SO
far the coroner has received no notification
of death from any private house, and the
suppOsition therefore is that none has oc.
Cured.

Waiting for Death.

There are three prisoners In iail sentenced
to be hung upon the 5th of April. They
are all colOred men. The first of them,
Albert Green, killed James Lucas at a.
colored church fair on street; near N, In
September, 1887 William Briggs killed
William Jones on the Sd Of last May at a
street-cut for Twenty-second street, on
Columbia Heights. The third, Nelson Col
bert, killed the old car superintendent,
Philip Wentzell, at the Columbia car sta
bles, on the 3D. of August last. These
men are now making preparations to meet
their doom. All of them have been con-
verted, and spend much of their time In
religious exercises. Efforts however, will
not be wanting TO secure executive clem-
ency in their cases, and II is thought not
unlikely that Briggs may be respited, as the
man whom he killed had taken his hat, and
he believed himself to have been very much
wronged, Tke scaffold to be used is the
same as that on which Guiteau was exc
cuted, but Will be enlarged so as to admit
Of three executions at the same time.
At midnight Saturday the last sacrament
was administered TO Briggs, Green and Col
bert. Mr.. Roberts, who visited the men,
says that they are all reconciled to their
fate and he has no doubt but what they will
meet death bravely. Colbert's body will
be taken in charge by his parents and buried
at MOntello. Green has no relatives here
and his body will be inferred in the Potters'
Field, and Briggs father, mother and sister
Will take charge OF his remains.
