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 in Plttsburg
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 will be mel
ody and to spare in the Exposition from
Wednesday evening, Sept. 9TH, when it
will be thrown open, till it 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 q 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 terrace near by alone. If
band, and none of the best, starts up
marching tune on a city street, everybody
knows how staid merchants, and. gamins
from the gutter strive to get near it. The
blare of brsss band will bring a crowd
quicker than the eloquent invocation of
Demosthenes. The directors of the E.
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 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
10 be common complaint that there were
not enough seats in the Exposition, but
there will be no ground for it this year.

Usually the sitting posture and more or
Jess perfect stiffness are supposed to go
together, but there is plot on foot in
the shadow Of the Exposition TO upset
this notion. At the western end of the
main building, in the center of the trim
little park huge merry -go-round, Of the
most modern pattern, run by steam, has
been erected, and there the unique Joys
Of flying through the air will be distrib-
uted, Taking everything into considera-
ton, there will be more entertainment in
the Exposition this season than there has
been ever before. 1t Is hardly necessary
TO tell anybody at this late day Of Levy's
wonderful ability as cornetist, or to en-
large upon the excellency Of the band Of
which he is leader. For years the high
notes of Levy's cornet have been ringing
through the world, and nobody has ap-
preached his mastery of that instrument.
Besides the concerts. and Prof. Crom-
wells lectures-.-W4Icb are so graphically

THE FALL RIVER MYSTERY.
Lizzie Borden Arrested for the Murder Of
Her Parents,

Her Parents.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 13.--After o
week spent in investigating the Borden
murder the authorities have ventured on
the first decisive step. Lizzie Borden
was arrested on warrant charging her
with the murder of her parents.
The iron nerve and wonderful self.
control of the accused woman was never
more clearly manifested than when the
warrant was produced. She stood silent
and motionless, without tremor, when
Chief of Police Hilliard entered the
Borden mansion, tore open the envelope,
unfolded the warrant and began to read.
Lawyer Jennings, attorney for the
sisters. rose and said: "Mr. Marshal, !
think my client will waive the reading
of the warrant"
"Do You waive such reading2" asked
Chief Hilliard of Lizzie.
The woman was silent for a moment;
then she turned to her lawyer.
ANSWER him, Z" said he.
II waive further reading on that pa
per, she said.
There was no false note in the voice,
she did not falter and there was no trace
of nervousness. She stood cool and
silent for a second. Only her lips
trembled. Then her jaws shut with
snap and she sank back in her chair.
"You are placed in the hands of
Matron Russell, said Marshal Hilliard,
as he left the room. Miss Emma Borden
arose and turned to her sister. For a
minute they stood face to face, then the
older woman hurried down stairs, fol.
lowed by Lawyer Jennings and Mrs
Brigham. Down stairs a great throng
surged to and fro. They filed the
street, choked into the hall, and even
forced their way into the main room of
the building.
Several witnesses were found yester.
day who testified that the relations be-
tween the father and daughter were
unpleasant. Lizzie was also said to
have quarreled with her stepmother.
Two drug clerks testified to the attempts
made by Lizzie to purchase poison.

Most Of the Communicates Have Left
Denver.
DENVER, Aug. 13.-The knights are
leaving town rapidly, some to go home
and others to make tours Of the state.
There are enough remaining, however,
to make the city extremely lively. 1t
is estimated that 105,500 visitors were
in Denver from outside during the week.
There were probably 10000 TO 10000
state residents in town. During the
week Denver took care of a crowd of
people equal to its own population.
Over 100000 pieces of baggage were
handled and as many packages. The
Pullman coaches handled 600 cars.

A Defiant Priest.

ST, LOUIS, Aug. 18.-Some time ago
Father Kuhlman, a Catholic priest at
Mitchell, was formally notified that
upon order of the vatican his priestly
robes had been taken from him. This
was done on "secret information furn-
ished against him, but by whom the
charges were preferred and what they
were is not known. He refused to va
cate his parish or to turn over the
church property, and Bishop Ryan has
sworn ont writ of ejectment against
him. The case promises to be very SEN
sational before it is finished.

lNCENDlARY FIRES.
Rivalry Between Saloon Keepers Caused
Immense Loss of Property.


Immense Loss of Property.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Aug. 13.-During the
last two years nearly 100000 worth of
property has been destroyed by incen.
diary fires in the two towns of Coving-
ton and Stanton, directly across the
river from this city. The towns were
built up by the adoption of the prohibi.
tory laws in Iowa, and bore bad repu.
tation, the population being composed
wholly Of saloon men, gamblers, etc. A
rivalry for the business from this city
was existed first between the two towns
and then between the keepers of the
places in the same towns. Yesterday
Bob Thompson, a barkeeper, who
worked for years in Covington for Billy
Leech, one of the Covington aldermen,
made confession in which he acknowl-
edges setting some of the fires which
aimed at the destruction of the business
interests of Leech's rivals. He swears
that he and Leech set fire to the law
Office of M. Jay, at Dakota City, about
a year ago, to destroy it because Jay had
a spite against him. He also admits that
he fired the ferry house several months
ago, and that he was to receive $3.50
from Leech for the job. Leech and
Thompson have been arrested.
