The Norma Glee Club Entertainment.

The Norma Glee Club Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the
Norma Glee Club, of Dover, at the
Opera House last evening in its com
binatiOn of music and elOcutiOn, was
one of the most delightful Of the sea-
son. In a two hours entertainment,
the one was necessary supplement of
the other-the sweet harmony of
sound as swelled out in the music and
the appeal to the higher senses Of the
intellect, as elocution will, on recep
tive minds. The first piece on the
we'll selected programme as rendered
by the double quartette was warmly
applauded, and the appreciation grew
as was manifested in the frequent
encOres. The full tenor of G. E.
Treidler at one end of the line was
harmOnized down through the voices
to the full bass notes of John CarrOw
at the other end. The elocutiOnary
selections of George r. Hynson, Esq.
humorous, pathetic and dialectic, were
rendered in such a pleasing and cap
tivating way as to call for an encore
we believe, every time he appeared on
the stage.
Prof. P. Hamm, who played the &C
compartments, sang a solo that was
highly appreciated for the cultivation
of voice it exhibited, but he failed tC

John Carrow and G. z. Treidler alsC

solo was also requested from G. w
Fisher, but the selection having a lOca
application to Dover, he thought bes
not to give it here. P. Burnet, Will
one of the tenOrs, was also director
and filled his place with dignity. Th
audience was a thoroughly apprecia
, tive one, and the only regret is that
was not larger.

HALSTEAD'S CINCINNATI PAPER.
He Has Sold a Portion of His Stock, but De-
MES There Is Politics in the Deal.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Mr. Murat Halstead
was seen to-day, by an Associated Press re-
porter. in regard to a statement telegraphed
from Cincinnati this afternoon that ne had
sold q portion. and ybe the whole, of his
stock in the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
to broker. The dispatch intimated that
General Alger and Hon. j. S. Clarkson
would finally be the purchasers. Mr.. Hal
stead read the dispatch very carefully, and
commented upon il as follows:
II do not see why one cannot sell newspa-
per stock as we'll as railroad stock without
public commotion. have agreed to sell a
portion of my stock in the Commercial Ga
Zette, of Cincinnati. / have contemplated
doing this during the six months that
have been engaged here. and that is all
there is about it. There is no deep political
scheme behind this matter. nothing revolu-
tionary or in any sense remarkable. 1t is a
strictly business affair, and, in view Of
what / am about. and propose to do. it
seems to me to be q transaction that will
find advantageous. The rum0r that con-
meets with this transaction the names of
two distinguished politicians is without
any foundation. Since the matter is men,
toned. this would seem to confirm the
statement that did not expect to return to
Cincinnati in haste. i would also add that
shall still remain a large stockholder in
the Commercial Gazette"

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 27.-Mr. Robert Z.

of arrest this morning in proceedings for
criminal libel against the publisher and
editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer. the
proprietor of the North American. of this

that the Governor sought out and retained
ex-Judge Jeremiah :. Black TO write a veto
message, and having received il with the
understanding that 1t was 10 be sent to the
Legislature. he changed his mind by the
next morning. and without notice to Judge
Black approved the bills. and that Judge
Black denounced Governor Pattison for

paid to Governor Pattison and Attorney
general Lewis G. Cassidy for the signing of

RIOT AT A ST. LOUIS THEATER.
Exposure Of Spiritualistic Humbug, Fol-
lowed by the MObbing of the Manager.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 27.--A splritualistic fake
was exposed here last night amid confusion
that narrowly escaped becoming a riot.
For three weeks great profusion of hand
bills and posters have announced that Prof.
Alex Johnson, assisted by Miss Kate Bangs,
would give spiritualIstic manifestations
and do marvellous feats at Pickwick Thea
ter. and $500 was offered for exposure or
duplication. Last night over five hundred
people gathered and paid 80 cents and 81
each to see the wonderful show. In due
time the performance began. Professor John
son, avenerable-looking patriarch, and Miss
Kate Bangs. q rather pretty but somewhat
faded maiden, were introduced. Witnesses
were called for and two men, supposedly
accomplices. sprang on the stage. A rope
trick began, and one of the witnesses, to
impress the audience with his honesty and
earnestness, called for better light and be-
gan handling Professor johnson" rather
roughly. The old fellow got frightened
and announced to the audience that he was
not Professor johnson; that he did not
know the fellows who were tying him; that
he was a sleight-of-hand performer on a
moderate scale, and had been hired yester-
day 20 do two or three simple tricks. An
effort was mado to shut him up and drag
him of the stage, which only made him
more frightened. and he talked louder.
The manager rushed to the front and
began telling the audience that Professor
johnson had been taken sick at the last
minute, and rather than disappoint the au-
dience q substitute had been secured.
About this time half the audience rushed
for the stage, and the other half rushed for
the box-office to get their money back.
The cashier had fed with the money and
the bowling dupes got nothing Meantime
the crowd had seized the manager, and he
was severely beaten and would probably
have been killed but for the police, who
rescued him and locked him up. In the
got away. The prisoner said his name was
Edward Eirod, and his home was Balti-
more. He insisted he had been hired to act
as lecturer and manager of the show. and
did not know who was running it. Many
people, however, say Elrod is the man Who
sold the tickets and took the money. In
the audience were many Of the most promi-
nent people in the city.

Mckinney alone for time in camp, where

the next meal. Mckinney became lonely
before his comrades returned, and, to while
away the time, started, as he supposed on
q short explo ring expedition in the brush.
He neglected TO keep his bearings, and on
attempting TO return, soon found himself
bewildered and at loss how to proceed.
The lost hunter was without weapons
or food and the bitter cold night added to
his wretchedness. Meyers and Rogy mean
time reached the deserted camp. ana. after
an Intellectual search for their missing COM
panion, set out for Metropolitan. The two
hunters promptly joined with the village
authorities in offering a large reward for
the discovery of the lost man. The viii
