January 30Lh. This Will be the event
of the season. Musin and his COM
pany are bought here at total cost
of. $275, and those who attend will be
sure to De pleased. A company like
this is always appreciated in our city,
especially SO, when 1t has a peerless
reputation like this one out. The
people OF this city should turn out en-

company and give them the house

THE HARVARD oUARTETTE.

This justly celebrated company of
ladies and gentlemen made their ini-
tial appearance in our city last Mon
day evening, and have left behind
them the memory of night full of
sweet and melodIOus strains OF un-
surpassed music. Their audience
should have been large enough to
pack the house; but small as it was
it was so appreciative and so encOur-
aged the performers that they sur
passed themselves and sang better
than they would otherwise have
done.
Why is it that such fiI st-class at
fractions as this one is, do not draw
better in refined and cultivated Co
.lumbia? Such singing, such sweet
strains, such harmony, has never be-
fore been heard in our city, and yet
of our hundreds of music lovers
scarcely $50 were present.
The musical numbers by the quar-
tette were all so artistically rendered
that our feeble efforts to describe
them would be futile. No flaw or in
harmonious sound was heard during
the whole evening, and their rendi-
ton of NEARER My God to Thee"
called us away for the time being
from this sOrdid earth to bask
awhile in the sunshine OF perfect
peace and love.
The audience was captivated by the
splendid bass voice of Mr.. Durham
which was one of the pleasures of the
evening. He sang with perfect ease,
and showed that study and practice
made his voice perfect one. Many
wer disappointed not to hear him in
solo.
Mr.. Paine in his "Tyrolean" dis
played a flexible and well-trained
voice of remarkable sweetness.
Miss Lufkin is mistress of both the
cornet and piano, and we can only
regret that she was not encouraged
more than she was for her remark
able efforts should have deserved
more applause.
The Rotations by Miss Florence
were excellent Her Echo and
Ferry" and "Robert O'L'ncoIn" were
Just marvellous.
The closing piece, the humorous
cantata entitled 1.-The GrasshOpper,
was highly amusing and much pleas
ure was given the audience be-
fore the hopper was finally gathered
in" by the gobbler.
On the whole the perfOI nance
eclipses anything we have seen thus
far in our Opera House, and this COM
pany should be encouraged to return,
for if anything can stir up ones bet
ter self and make one feel better and
happier, it is such harmOnies as the
Harvard Quartette give.

TARRYTowN On. ", May 19.-Just
before noon to-day work train on the
Hudson River road was blown to atoms
near here by an explosion of dynamite,
which was being transported to use in
track construction. There were thirty
three men on the train, eighteen of whom
were killed and the remainder severely,
and some fatally, wounded Many of the
dead men were blown into the river, and
five bodies still remain there.
The train was torn to atoms, the tracks
ripped from the rOadbed and great hole
torn in the earth. There were twenty
four cases of dynamite in the first car on
the train, each containing fifty pounds.
A spark from the engine, it is said, set
ire to greasy rope cOiled in front of the
packages, and an explosion followed.
Its force was terrific. The walls of
houses in Tarrytown, two miles away.
were shaken, and some cracked, and
wlndOw-glaSs fell in showers to the side
walks. Scores of clocks were stopped at
ll:20.
The cal, in which the dynamite was
stored and those following it. were com
pletely demolished, while the bodies of
the unfortunates on the train were hurled
IN every direction.
A terrible sight was witnessed by those
who hurried TO the spot. The track was
torn up for space of 600 feet, and rails
bent in all shapes, while dead bodies and
terribly mangled men still living could
be seen about. The locomotive was blown
out OF all semblance to one, and the ten
der had been thrown half way into the
river. Some men were found hundreds
Of yards away from the track, while
others where taken out from the hole
made by the explosion. The wounded in
most cases We're horribly mutilated, in
several instances the arms and legs being
torn off.
As rapidly as possible the wounded
were cared for by surgeons and removed
TO the hospital. Ten of those killed were
picked up along the track, while five
were taken from the river. Three of the
injured died shortly after being picked
up. 1t is believed there are still some
bodies in the river, and the total number
Of Killed will be twenty or more
The killed are: John Mccarthy, time
keeper; Frank Morrisey, powder tender:
brakeman John Smith and fifteen Ital-
Ians, names unknown. All the train
hands were seriously injured, as well as
a dozen or more Italians.
4 panic occurred i'll the High School of
Iarrytown among the pupils when the
building was violently shaken by the
explosion, all thinking that an earth
quake had occurred. The children ran
wildly into the street, but, fortunately, no
one was injured.

New YORK, May 19.-Martial law has
been proclaimed in Port an Prince.
Armed soldiers patrol the streets night
and day, and no one is allowed to enter
or leave the city without a passport.
The Haytian Capital is literally in a state
of siege. The cause of this condition of
affairs is the agitation caused by the sup
porters of General Legitime, the deposed
President. This news has been contained
in letters received by merchants engaged
in Haytian trade in New York. Its also
announced Firmin, the Minister Of
Finance and Foreign Affairs in President
Hippolyte's Cabinet, has resigned, though
no explanation of his conduct is given.
The report that any attempt has been
made on the life of President Hippolyte
is absolutely denied.
The exact date at which martial law
was proclaimed in the Haytian Capital
has not been given. For months, though,
it was said, the supporters of Legitime
have been actively engaged in stirring up
a feeling against the present administra-
ton. The deposed President, who is
now sojourning in jamaica has, it is said,
been regularly posted in the work of his
secret emissaries. President Hippolyte,
however, has not been mapping, and he is
now determined to nip the threatened
uprising in the bud and at the same time,
if possible, bring the guilty ones to

which he referred to the recent events in

do his duty as an American citizen. He
was glad that it was him who was put in
the position to enunciate those few ideas
of American principles that were left to
contend for. American citizens should
have no fear of assassination.
Ex-Governor Anthony of Kansas, in

SPOKANE (Wash.), May 19.-An alleged
special agent of the General Land Office
has been operating through Eastern
Washington for the past month with re-
markable success. He goes by the names
of Pendleton, Pemberton, Zemberton
and Semberton, and threatens sawmill
men with prosecution for buying timber
from settlers who have not yet proved up
on their claims. He has swindled five or
six men out of sums ranging from $500 to
$500. Special Agent Skeles is besieged
with inquiries from the mans victims.
Advices from Washington say that he
has no connection with the General Land
Office, but he must have been so con-
nected at some period in the past, be-
cause he has credentials, and is thoroughly
familiar with his business.
