into the half and their names were called

the same as last night.
STAMPEDE.
The roll-call was finished at last, and the
Secretary started to figure up. Before he
could announce the result a delegate from
one Of the country districts had changed
his vote from English to Cole man. The
announcement was the signal for a stam-
some changing to Coleman and some to
Pond. 1t was seen that Coleman was get
ting the best of these changes.
A stampede to him was imminent and the
party leaders rushed in to stop it. Steve
White sprang on a chair and demanded the
delegates, upon seeing his familiar figure,
now high in their favor, ceased their up
roar and listened to what he had TO say.
WHITE PREVENTS A BREAK.
White objected to any more ch anges be-
ing made at that time. The roll-cali was
finished, he said, and any more changes at
that time tended TO create confusion in the
count. Let the result be announced and a
new ballot be taken.
Mike Tarpey, Coleman's manager, smelled
a big rat in Whites remarks and sDrang tO
his feet with a yell for recognition by the
Chair that startled half the delegates out OF

against a stoppage of the changes, which
every man had right to make. The cohorts

waiting for the cheering to subside English
came up by his side and shook him by the

AMUSENIEN A rs.
a Busy Time at Albaugh's.

Yesterday was busy one at the
Grand Opera House. Musical Director
Simonson was engaged all day rehears-
ne the big orchestra for next week and
also the drum corps for the grand march
n "The Drum Major" While Mr..
Simonson was engaged with the musi-
clans, Stage Director Ernest Salvatore
was busy with the stage carpenters, in
structing and rehearsing them with the
immense stage sets, the scenery having
arrived in advance. Manager Aronson
is always particular about the scenic re-
hearsals, and the result is that a first
nights performance by this organization
is as perfect rs if IL were permanent
attraction. The tedious delays and long
waits between the acts are thus happily
avoided. The advance sale of seats has
been the largest of the present season,
and Justly so, for "The Drum Major, :"
"Nadjy" and ''Erminie" form roper
toire that has seldom been equaled by
any operatic organization.
The Boston Symphony Concert.
The third of the series of concerts by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra was
given last night at Lincoln Music Hall.
Every seat in the theatre was taken,
and standing room could not be secured
after s o'clock. The programme began
with Mendelssohn' s overture, "Fingal' S
Cave" happy selection, and one
which was beautifully rendered. Miss
Mary Howe sang the BELL Song" from
| "IIakme" and the "Niphtinpale' 6
Song" The first received well.de-
served encore.
The closing number was Beethoven &
| Fifth Symphony in C minor, and in il
| Mr.. Nikischs orchestra exhibited its
full force, power and expression. il
was divided into four parts, and each
was generously applauded. The pre-
lude, Tristan and Isolde" formed the
third number on the programme, and
was exquisitely rendered.

GRANTS FIRST VICTORY.
A Friend Tells How He Popped the
OupgttOn

A Friend Tells How He Popped the
Question.
A very striking incident in the life OF
General Grant was mentioned by an in
innate friend. 1t related to the delicate
subject of how the General popped the
question, says an exchange. Those
who, knew General Grant intimately can
imagine how he could storm rampant,
charge battery of artillery or lead a
forlorn hope in battle easier than he
could ask for the hand of the woman he
loved. The occasion when the young
lieutenant in the Army and Julia Dent
plighted their troth was not one of
those ideal moonlight nights, nor were
stars twinkling over lovers sighs. but
on dark, stormy night in the woods Of
Missouri. The lieutenant was visiting
his Army comrade and former class
mate, Frederick Dent. He had driven
into town in a buggy with his comrades
: sister.
The young people were on their way
home. The darkness had overtaken
them. The rain had fallen in torrents
and the roads were ankle deep with
mud. The lightning flashed and the
thunder pealed out Of the blackness of
night which followed. A swollen stream
and frail bridge stood in their way. AS
they reached the dangerous spot sud
den flash of electric light revealed the
terrors of the flood and the dangers of
the bridge. In an instant, availing him
self of this moment of light, the brave
young officer urged the good steed upon
the quivering doorway. A dreadful
burst of thunder shook the very foun-
dations of the earth. The young maiden,
rors of the situation, stunned by the tre-
| lieutenant by her side with affrighted
| force. The bridge now began to yield
TO the undermining action of the raging
torrent.
AS it seems 10 sink away the maid ex-
claimed in her fears: ooh, we are
lost" mo, julia came tender re.
| ply from the heart full of emotion
which beat in that brave young breast.
Nothing shall happen to you. shall
take care of you" An other flash in
timely succession revealed the terrible
situation, but one iudicious stimulation
of the powerful steed brought the lieu
tenant and his hearts treasure once
more upon the solid ground of the Other
side as the plank.way of the bridge
moved away in the surging flood
Rescued from situation so perilou'
was the occasion for thoughtful
silence. The storm beaten lovers
pushed on their trying way through
mud and rain and wind.
Soon out of the darkness came voice
"Julia, were you frightened?" "What {
terrible night it isl" said the maiden ir
reply. 81 would always like to care fo
you and protect you. May do so?'
Eyes" in the simple innocence of he
girlish heart was the answer.

FOREIGN MATTERS.


The newest freak of Paris fashion
is looking glass stand for the menu,
so that the ladies can see how they look
at the table. The Princess of Monaco
has Just secured four dozen of them in
repousse silver Of excellent workman
ship. The fashion comes from Russia.
Miss Golden and Miss Cons, the two
women members of the London County
Council, have been served with writs
in suits for the penalty of $3.50 per vote
fixed by the statute for the offense of
sitting and acting as members of the
council illegally. The trial will test the
right of women to sitin the board.
Two children playing upon grassy
slope at Auchmithie, Scotland, slipped
and rolled down to the edge of steep
precipice, 145 feet high, over which
they fell TO the beach below. Those
who ran to gather up their mangled re-
mains found them on their feet in the
wilderment and with no worse injuries
than few scratches.
1t is said that the French Govern.
ment has just given to the Government
of Russia the secret Of its new smoke
less powder, and that the Russians are
about to begin the manufacture of il
upon large scale, using imported
workmen and being careful to exclude
Germans and Jews from the factories.
The basis of the powder is said to be
sulphuric ether.
The Government of Saratoff, Russia,
sells each year to the people an i'm
mense quantity of tar for use in their
business. All the sales are on credit,
and as the peasants can neither read
nor write, the account of each is KEPT
by means of certain signs made with
the tar upon his doorpost Pay day
comes every fall, and then only are the
doorposts of Saratof washed clean unit
a new account is started.
AT Paris dinner tables the latest fea-
| ture for desserts is the practice of put.
ting on the table small receptacles
called m07miteS, or 'pots," in which
are inclosed nuts, bonbons, and any
other trifes that the hostess pleases
Each guest takes pot, aud, before
opening it, trades 1t for that of some
one else. The fun comes in when tht
results Of the trades are known ant
some are found to have swapped a po
filled with candy for one containing
something of value.
1t is said that there is not the slight
est chance for the election of Zola {,
the chair in the French Academy, TO
which he has been candidate, but tha
the honor will go to the historian
Thoreau d'Angin. Only two votes ar,
expected to be given TO Zola. He will
continue to be candidate, however, a
each successive vacancy until hesget
the prize OF dies. The edition of hi
new novel, "La Bette Humane" bring
