JULES LEVY.

Another notable improvement is the
new gallery, or enlargement of the old
one, in the main hall, by means of which
| the total seating capacity of the audito-
rum in front of the band stand has been
raised to 5000. Talking of bands, it is a
| fact that the musical outlook i'll Pittsburg
for the coming season is brighter than
ever. There will be enough music to the
superficial square inch in this city in Sep
tember, for instance, to satisfy the most
greedy muSic-lOver. There viii be mel
ody and TO spare in the Exposition from
Wednesday evening, Sept. 7th, when it
Will be thrown open, till il closes on Oc-
tober 22d, for first the Great Levy and
his superb band will be there, and from
Oct. Sd to the Exposition's close the no
less renowned Ellis Brooks will bring his
corps of musicians to keep up the supply
of concerts.
There are few things so generally en-
joyed the world over as band music. No
body seems too exalted, nobody too low
ly to appreciate it. President Harrison
hardly ever misses a military band con-
cert in Washington; Queen Victoria, the
other day, had the band of her favorite
Grenadier Guards play for two hours in
the garden of her Osborne palace, while
she sat on a terrace near by alone. If
band, and none of the best, starts up
marching tune on city street, everybody
knows how Staid merchants, and gamins
from the gutter strive to get near it. The
blare of brass band will bring a crowd
quicker than the eloquent invocation of
Demosthenes. The directors of the Ex-
position seem to have had an eye to this
fact when they laid such stress upon the
improvements in the neighborhood of the
band stand Behind the stand itself
mirrors have been arranged so as to dis
play the brilliantly tly-uniformed musicians
TO the best advantage. The balcony op-
posite has been carried forward on pill
lars and comfortable seats for hundreds
provided, supplementing the accommo-
dations upon the floor below for those
who want to hear the concerts. 1t used
to be common complaint that there were
not enough seats in the Exposition, but
there will be no ground for it this year,

The Strike Extending.

EIMIRA, y. Y, Aug. 1.-THE strike
of switchmen inaugurated at Buffalo, on
the Erie and Lehigh Valley lines, has
extended to Waverly and Sayre, on the
Lehigh, and all freight traffic on that
line Is at a standstill. 4 train of beef
stands on an Erie siding there, the
switchmen refusing to allow it to be
switched to the Lehigh tracks to proceed
to its destination. The division superin-
tendent of the Lehigh has telegraphed to
Oswego for the sheriff to come to his
aid, although the men are making no
demonstration.
Tomorrow 1t is expected that the
Erie men will also go out, and then all
traffic through those towns will be at a
standstill. The men are non-communi-
cative and their future movements are
unknown.

Congress from the Sixteenth district of
Ohio, died at his rooms in the Riggs
House in Washington about O'Clock
no Sunday night. He was serving his
first term i'll Congress as the successor of

of the most memorable and bitterly con-
tested campaigns in the history of Ohio
politics. He was native of Ireland and
about 50 years of age.

THE Johnstown Tribune seems to be
badly worried over the organization of
the Democracy in this county this year.
The selection of chairman was not
made soon enough to -spid the Tribune
and then when the selection was made
1t was not announced as the Tribune
thinks it should have been. We trust
the editor of the Tribune will take a dose
of paregoric and calm down as he will
have plenty to worry over after the cleo
tion.

There is no place in Pittsburg where
the hum of preparation during August is
louder than in the huge pile of red brick
at the point; and this year is no eNcep-
ton TO the rule in the halls of the Expo
sitiOn; where for many weeks already
the workmen have been busy getting the
great building into shape for the season
now rapidly approaching. Every day
sees an increase in the hustle and clamor
at the Exposition, for the exhibitors have
their booths and showcases to prepare,
and there is a race to see who shall sur
pass the record of the past, most of all.
The management of the Exposition has
set q good example to every one by max
ing many important improvements, in
Guiding a change or two that will be a
genuine surprise to all who visit the EN-
position next month. For instance,
where the picture galleries were last
year beautiful little concert or lecture
hall has been erected. 1t is entirely pam
elled from floor TO ceiling with polished
yellow pine, and consequently has an en-

Held Up in Davenport.

William Schneider, butcher living
near Washington square in Davenport, is
an admirer of the fistic art, and came over
to Rock Island to see Sullivan last eve
ming. While on this side he became
proud of his worldly possessions and dis
played a roll of bills containing $195.
On his way home after the exhibition, he
was waylsid near his place of business
there by two men. who relieved him of
his wad in short order. II was all done
SO quickly that he did not get good
look at the highwaymen, but such de-
scription as he could he gave to the po-
lice, the they spent the rest of the night
hunting for the robbers.
Schneider thinks the men saw him dis
play his money. and that the logged him
until they got good chance to hold him
up. The opportunity did not come until
he reached the other side of the river.
This morning Chief Miller arrested J.
Keas of this city and turned him over to
Chief Kessler. of Davenport, who took

AT last nights meeting of the Columbian
soliciting committees. the west end man
utacturers and professional committees
together reported having secured 500
during the day. and Capt. Besrdsley,
chairman OF the west end committee, re-
ported having appointed Messrs. J. A.
Genung and Al Ovens members of that
committee, to assist in pushing the good
work in the west end, and particularly in
the glass factory.
This morning Capt Joseph Cameron,
of the ferry, Spencer, volunteered for 10
shares, showing his confidence in the en-
terprise.
Probably the bestevidence of the solid
ity of the undertaking. however, is the
way our largest business men are increas-
ing their original subscriptions, move
ment which, while essential to the success
of the great undertakings no less gratify-
ing and reassuring. THE ARGUS recently
spoke of Mr.. McCabe's expressed willing
ness to increase his subscription from
$500 to $1,000. This morning when the
committee called on Otto Huber, of the
City brewery. that gentleman said that
while he had only written the name of
his father for $500 worth of stock, he
felt it no more than right that he shout d
make it $1,000. sn6 he did so. And few
hours later Robert Wagner. of the Allan,
tic brewery, came nooly to the aid of the
enterprise by promising TO raise his orig
inal subscription to 1000. This is bust,
ness. and the three additional subscrip-
lions ado 81 500 to Rock Islands list. If
our other business men will follow the ex-
ample of these three it will not be long
before our $50, 900 is in sight Additional
