a CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT.
The Ludden & Bates Recitals Closed
for the Season.

The Ludden & Bates Recitals Closed
for the Season.
The last of the series of the popular re-
citals at Armory hail. under the auspices of
the Ludden e. Bates Southern Music House,
took place yesterday afternoon. Every seat
was occupied and many were obliged to
stand. From the first these recitals were
OF far more than average excellence, and
the programme yesterday included singers
and Observation-Disclosures Of superior ability.
The first number was a four part song,
Orlando Lassus' Lovely Maiden sung
without accompaniment by Misses Lesesne
and Smith and Messrs. Ford and Smith.
The Magnolia quartette is we'll liked by
the people, and its rendition of "The NAL
low Eve" and the 'Tar's Song" was heartily
aPglauded.
The next number was ''Schumann's Trau-
merei," arranged for Vocation and played
by Julian Walker. This accomplished mu-
sician has been SO often heard as a vocalist,
and SO seldom as an instrumental player,
that his ability in that line has never been
fully recognized. 1t is not necessary to add
that his was a finished performance
One OF the best numbers in point of COM
position and rendition was Reichardt's quin-
tette, Image Of the Rose" sung by the
Magnolia quartette and Jaspersen Smith.
Douglass gave a violin solo, "Raff's Cava-
tina" The deep silence that reigned while
he played bespoke the charm OF his play
ing, and at the close he was compelled by
the applause that followed to play again.
He responded with a "Berceuse" by Renard.
MIR. Walker was down to sing two nu IN
bers, but, being in poor voice from hoarse-
ness, the Magnolia quartette sang instead,
Lovely Night"
Miss Nolan a sopranO Sipoar nf for
more than ordinary natural talent,
sang the Bach-Gounod, save Maria,n in
Latin. The audience applauded her sing
ing of this number until she
was compelled to sing it again. The
strength of her vocal powers was fully
tested by the accompaniment of three in
struments-thep piano, played by Miss Smith,
lin, BY Mr.. Douglass-and in the loudest
passages Miss Nolan's voice easily led and
carried all before it.
The Magnolia quartette followed with
two numbers, Marschner's "Serenaden and
Zollner's Toast both of which were ac-
ceptably rendered.
The trio, ''Ecce Pants Angelorium," sung
by Miss Nolan, j. A. Bates aud w. N
Smith, was one of the most enjoyable mum.
bers. Mr.. Bates has not appeared in the
role Of vocalist for some time. His voice
was more vibrant and stronger YESTERDAY
than when he sang in public before. Mr.
Walker played the piano accompaniment
with rare skill.
Donizetti's sextette, "Chi Mi Frena,n sung
by Miss Nolan, Miss Smith aud the Mag
nolia quartette, was pronounced success
and, much to the regret Of music lovers
closed the programme.
The plans for next season are yet in EN-
bryo, but Ludden 81 Bates contemplate tn,
engagement of several well-known artists
and will have programmes for the series O.
recitals more artistic, attractive and varied
| than ever.

THE oENTRAL's BOND ISSUE.

Mai A. L. Hartridge Considers It a
Good Piece OF Financiering.
Maj. A. l.. Hartridge, who has recently
returned from New York, thinks that the
issuing of the first mortgage Consolidated
gold bonds of the Central, which was an
nounced in yesterdays MORNING NEWS, is
a good work of financiering, because IL is
intended to retire the 100000 bonds
under the tri-partite. agreement, bearing s
per cent. interest and replacing them with
the per cent. bonds, q decided saving of
interest. Maj. Hartridge says that the
Central will doubtless take up its debentures
bearing 6 per cent interest, and replace
them with the per cent. bonds. These
debentures are due at any time after
July, 1891, after three months notice has
been given that they are to be taken up,
and Maj. Hartridge thinks it will be the
Central's policy to refund them in this way.
They were issued in 1881 with such an
object in view.
The proceeds of the remaining bonds
Maj. Hartridge understands, will be applied
to the payment of the floating Indebtedness,
such as was incurred in the construction of
the Eden extension to Lyons, the purchase
OF seventy-pound steel rails, the additional
terminal property recently acquired at
Atlanta, Birmingham and other Cities
Maj. Hartridge says the wisdom of such
refunding was shown in the refunding of
the 8 per cent. bonds of the Western Rail-
way of Alabama, owned by the Central,
which refunded the bonds with bonds bear
ing AZ per cent interest, a saving of So
per cent. interest, the latter bonds having
been placed at par and reducing the interest
on 81, 100000 SO that the property, which,
under the high interest bearing bonds, was
a drag, will now be profitable property
with such large amount of fixed charges
done away with. He thinks the consoli-
dated gold bonds ought to be disposed Of at
par and result in net saving to the Cen
trail of about / a per cent interest annually
on 100000, or S1S0, 900, which must meet
with the general approval of the stock
holders of the Central railroad.
Maj. Hartridge says he is not informed
1hether or not the s13, o00, 600 of gold bonds
have been placed, but if they are not, he
thinks they will be readily taken at par

STABBER SCREEN CAUGHT.

Taken Back to the Scene of His
Crime in Ware County.
I. B. Henderson, Ware county officer,
arrived last night and took Screen back to
Ware county.
Dave, alias Erens, Screen colored),
charged with stabbing another colored man
on an excursion train near Waycross, on
the return OF the train from Brunswick to
Savannah, was arrested on the arrival of
the train, before daylight yesterday morn
ing, by Detective Wetherhorn and lodged
in the barracks. Yesterday Screen was
removed to the county Jail to await the
arrival of the officers to take him to the
scene OF the assault, to be tried for
assault with intent to murder, and
possibly for murder, and the condition of
the wounded man is said to be critical. 1t
appears that he was shot three times by one
negro, who jumped from the train and made
his escape. Screen is charged with using
the knife, and on the arrival of the train
here one of the colored excursionists, who
had witnessed the assault, and had tele-
graphed to Detective Wetherhorn, pointed
Screen out.

TEE LOUISVILLE ROAD MATTER
Alderman Harmon. chairman Of the
street and lane committee, submitted a re-
port from City Engineer W. j. Winn. in
compliance with a resolution of council,
showing what it will take to put the Louis
vile road within the city limits and the
Gwinnett street extension west in order as
follows:
Louisville road. 90 feet wide. from the
Ogeechee canal bridge for q distance Of
about 5000 feet, granite blocks, S27, 999,
wooden curbing 1892, total SOS, S9l. With
oyster shells, 81, 200 bushels laid, SO, T20.
Gwinnett street, fifteen feet wide from
Cemetery street TO the powder magazine. a
distance of about 4, 500 feet, granite blocks,
sl6,S75; wooden CURLING, $3l5; total,
$l7, 100. With oyster shells, laid, $4,000.
The report and estimates were received as
information.
The petition OF r. ID. Guerard, to erect
four wooden stoops, was defeated, the
mayor casting the decisive vote, with the
remark: II am compelled to sustain the
ordinance"
There was lively debate over the mat
ter, and Mr.. Guerard was heard at length.
1t appears that Mr.. Guerard, thinking that
a majority of houses on a block having
stoops, gave him the right TO erect stoops,
when the ordinance provides that it is
where majority of the lots have stoops.
A resolution by Alderman Bailey was
adopted authorizing the purchase Of 1000
feet of hose
The petition of ]. s. Collins 81 Co. to be
relieved from the payment Of the wholesale
license tax because other jobbers in the
fruit line don't pay il, was, after hearing
from Mr.. Collins and general discussion,
not granted, but the clerk of council took
the names of those who have been escaping
the tax, and they will be investigated.
j. w. Mcmahon was heard at length on
a question of paying for brick sidewalk,
and without finally determining the issue,
the further consideration of the petition not
to tax up the paving was deferred until the
next meeting.
A resolution by Alderman Harris was
adopted authorizing the purchase of one
double drum hoisring engine for the new
Quarantine station at cost of 81 $50.

The exercises opened with music followed
by the essays by the graduating class.
dreaming and Doing. with salutatory, by
Albert b. Cooper, was the first on the pro-
gramme. The essayist read in a clear, dis
tinct tone and his manner was easy.
Following this was, "Value of Self-Con-
troll" by Matte E. Reynolds. 1t was an
excellent essay, and teemed with sound say
ings.
There was an interval for music, which
was rendered by the school.

production Of u good deal of learning. 1t
was we'll given, and the audience applauded
the effort
"a Mans Man for a. That" by Alfred
Il. johnson. was loudly applauded. The
speaker manifested much earnestness in his
delivery and the audience was very much
pleased
Fitness for Place." with valedIctory, by
William NJ. Maxwell, was last on the pro-
gramme by the class. The valedictorian's
essay was very fine and elected a great deal
of applause. After its delivery he turned
to the teachers aud, thanking them, bade
them and his schoolmates and classmates
farewell This part of the exercise was
affecting to some of the class.
Following came music by the members of
the school. and Miss Holmes, the principal
awarded the diplomas. In doing so she de-
livered short address to the class, abiding
to the associations in the school room and
the kindly relations between the class and
its teachers. She believed that all of the
members of the class had sought diligently
TO secure an education, and she
thought If the graduates would improve
what they have been taught at Beach In
stitute they would come out all right. She
wanted to see them as representative men
and women of their race. She said that
the world will look to them for some results
of their learning, and Beach Institute will
look to them to make leaders in whatever
cause they espouse or in whatever undertak-
ing they engage.
The class then gathered around the plat
form and sang one of the Institute songs, to
which the graduates replied, singing the
class hymn composed by NJ. Adelaide Hab-
ersham
Tonight cantata of Esther will be given
at the Institute by the alumni and normals
Eighteen will take part in the concert.

$4,000 FOR A HUSBAND.
That is What the Central Pays
Brakeman's Wife.

Brakeman's Wife.
The damage suit of Mrs. Mary Tucker
against the Central railroad for $4,000 was
settled yesterday for 5000. Messrs. r. r.
Richards and William r. Leaken repre-
sented the plaintiff, and Lawton and Cum
ningham the Central. The case was pre-
pared by the plaintiffs attorneys and was
presented to the Central, and the compro-
mise was made. r. FL. Tucker, the late
husband of the plaintiff. was a brakeman,
and went out March 6 on freight train
from Savannah to Macon. At Gordon
tho train was wrecked by another
freight running into 1t from the rear.
Tucker was on top of car "braking'' the
train. When the crash came he was pre-
cipitated headlong between the cars. The
train passed over him, mangling and bruis-
ing him so as to cause death within a few
hours afterward. His wife began suit at
once.
X. J. Bull, fiagman on the same train,
was seriously injured at the same time, and
it is likely that be will bring suit against
the Central TO recover.
