Three Society Concerts.

For four seasons there have been given what
are known as society concerts, under local
auspices, and which have invariably brought
together the musical and society people of
Savannah. The best companies have al

given on the subscription plan, and in this
way excluded all disturbing elements. This
years season will comprise the eminent
pianist, William II. Sherwood, director Of
the Chicago Conservatory Of Music, who is
making special southern tour under direc-
ton Of the Ludden & Bates Southern

with party OF friends and was on bis way
home out Whitaker street about 2 o'clock
yesterday morning t. his home on
Fourth street. He had just crossed
Liberty street when be was seized by negro,
who made a grab at his watch chain with
one hand and with the other thrust at him
with a kpife. His watch chain broke at
both ends, leaving the watch in Aulch's
pocket AID the guard in his vest button
hole. TIE hrss plunge Of the knife was at his
throat 1t pierced the neck over the
carotid artery, but hardly went more
than skin deep. The next thrust was in the
loins and tho knife went deep into The left
side. TIE plunge came near being fatal.
Staggering a few steps he fell, and
for some cause the robber left him, carry
ing off the piece of watch chain which be
tore from his victim. Aulich tried
10 get help, but. falling to
arouse any one, he managed TO get
TO the Savannah hospital, which he reached
about o'clock, weak and almost exhausted
from loss Of blood and the shock Of tee
assault. DR.. Colding dressed bis wounds.
Besides the cut in the throat and in the
loin Aulich was cut in the right side, aud
his left thumb was cut at the joint so that it
topuled into his hand. He was given medical
attention at the hospital, and his employer,
with whose family Aulich boarded, was
sent for. Mr.. Grower said that Auich
has been in his employ about a year and
lived In his house. He came here from
Kentucky, where he was born, and is about
30 years old. He is not a drinking man,
and had been a steady, reliable and COM
petent workman.
An hour or so aftersAulich said he was
assaulted, a young man who had been at
the Elks' banquet at the Pulaski house was
found in Chippewa square, with half a
dozen stabs in his body. none Of which we're
deep enough, however, 10 be dangerous
The wounded man was taken to a physi-
clan for treatment and was then sent home.
Instead of Aulich being as
saulted by negro footpad, it
seems he and another young man
met unexpectedly In house on CASTOR and
Montgomery streets. whore the stabbing
occurred. The wounds Of neither are be-
lieyed to be dangerous.

Don Cmssr De Bazan.

The sale Of seats for Salvini in Don
Cesar De Bazann began yesterday morn
ing, and before noon 200 seats had been
sold. The Nashville American says OF
recent performance in Nashville:
1.-THE numerous patrons of the Theater
Vendome were equally surprised and de-
lighted last night with the initial perform
ance of Alexander Salvini. The audience
to whom the gentleman first made
bis graceful bow was composed
Of the most critical, as well
as the most socially prominent theater
goers. Salvini made an instantaneously
favorable impression. AS the action Of the
play proceeded and his consummate art and
magnetic personality developed, he aroused
the enthusiasm of the boxes, balcony and
gallery. He deserves success. His meth
DDS are legitimate and give the evidence of
a careful and intelligent study. His voice
is flexible, well modulated and resonant.
His enunciation Is clear, and his mastery
of the English language is quite
remarkable. His renowned and unap-
proachable father, Sig. Tomaso Salvini,
should be proud of the son he has given TO
the stage, and he will undoubtedly perpstu-
ate in coming generations the greatness
which be himself achieved. The breadth
and fire displayed by Salviui in his acting
are essentially the result Of his southern
birth. He could not apparently make an
ungraceful gesture"

"rhe Waits of New York"

"The Waits Of New York." one Of the
most popular plays of its class on the stage,
will be seen Tuesday night. A recent rendi-
ton of this play brought forth the follow
ing encomium: "It is melodrama, and
from first to last holds the interest Of the
audience, much of its success being due, as
well. to clever acting and excellent stage
setting. Miss Emmett took the part of
Willie Rufus the New York bootblsck,
and by her artistic delineation of the char
acter, especially In the police court scene,
where she outwits the lawyers, became an
immediate favorite. Mr.. George Thompson,
as the German immigrant, and Miss Lizzie
Davis as his daughter, Katrina both
earned considerable applause, as did also
La Petite Lillian, the child actress, for the
natural and touching manner in which they
filed their roles. Indeed, all of the per-
formers deserve their need of praise"
