GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 31.-For
several months there has been grow
ing excitement in religious, musical and
social circles here over the proposition
made by the local oratorio society to
perform the messiah" without charge
for admission two or three Sun,
day nights during the winter.
The society is composed of
ladies and gentlemen moving in
the highest financial and social circles,
and, though universally admitted to be
one of the best musical organizations in
the country, makes no effort to accumu-
late money, as the result of its concert
work, The proposition to present the
Messiah Sunday night, came just at
the time when there was great excite
ment over the effort TO prevent Sunday
performances at the theaters, efforts
which have re- ulted in many arrests
and several trials. The movement was
taken up by the local minis
ters' conference, in which a
passed opposing the project. The sub
ject ran over for week, and the reso-
luton finally passed, though deprived
of most of its power by amendments.
Meantime Rt. Rev. DR.. Gillespie, bishop
of the Episcopal diocese, published an
emphatic protest against the entertain
ment. Tonight the first performance
was given. Nearly two hours before
the time came for opening the doors
a crowd extending two blocks filled
the street in front of the hall. The
doors were not opened till after the
close of the regular services in the
churches, and by that time it was i'm
possible to go within 500 feet of the hall
entrance. The "Messiah'' was given
with Introductory prayers and other re-
ligious exercises by a magnificent
chorus, the best soloists in this part of
the country and grand orchestra. be-
fore an audience of between five and

DANGEROUSLY FRACTUTED.
The Injury to the Man-of War
Victoria Very Serious.

Ahe AnJnry to the Man-of-s ~ ar
Victoria Very Serious.
LONDON. Jan. 31.-The accident to the
British man-of-war Victoria, which went
ashore on the Greek coast, is worse than
at first reported, and the vessel is in
danger of becoming a complete wreck.
The Victoria struck on the rock in
slanting position, but with great force,
and 4 large hole was stove in the iron
shell of the vessel. At first it had been
thought that the shell had not been
penetrated, but upon such examination
as could be made it was found that the
force with which the vessel struck Oh
the rock had caused dangerous frac-
ture. There is twenty-five feet of water
i'll the hold and the vessel is keeled
over to some extent. Should storm
arise it might be very difficult to save
her. She is considered one of the finest
armor-clad battle ships, and the loss of
such vessel would be a most serious
blow to the navy.

and was closeted with the ex-governor
for some hours. The entire situation
was carefully reviewed, and Webster
put forth his best endeavors and most
clinching arguments to prove to his
client that the best thing he could do at
the present time would be to simply step
down and out, surrendering the Office
to Governor Boyd, without further de-
lay. But Thayer was obdurate and said
that he should continue to exercise the
Office Of governor until he received a
mandate from court from which there
was no appeal. "I am governor now y
he said, land / shall continue so for at
least month" Nothing would shake
him in his determination and he would
hold to his resolve.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. sc. N. Caspar,
the antiquarian bookstore man, charged
with sending obscene literature through
the mails, went before Judge Jenkins,
OF the federal court, and pleaded guilty.
His attorney asked for clemency
on the ground that Casper had sold the
goods only under the most strict inspec-
ton OF the character of his customers.
The case was brought ON the evidence of
Anthony Comstock, who, under an as
sumed name and from small village in
Vermont, had been able to induce the
defendant to mail him some of the OBJ
jectional matter.
The Judge took occasion to severely
criticize Comstock and before imposing
a light fine. on the prisoner he said:
There are some offenses worse than the
circulation of obscene literature. One of
them is the practice of fraud and lying,
of which Anthony Comstock has appar-
emily been guilty. Mr.. Comstock may
be able to reconcile his conduct with
the laws of God and of humanity, but

PROBABLY BE LOST.

scarcely Amy Hope of Saving the
Wrecked Steamship Elder.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-There now seems to
be no probability that the steamship
Elder, which is on the rocks at Ather-
field, Isle of Wight, will become total
loss. 1t was hoped last night the Gov
ernment and other tugs would be able
to pull the Elder off at night, but ali at
tempts in that direction have failed.
Throughout the night high wind
which prevailed, raising q heavy sea
which caused high breakers to sweep
almost continually over the Elder. The
result is that her position has been
changed decidedly for the worse, Her
propeller has been carried away and the
size of the leak in her bottom has in
creased and the water is gaining. The
life boats were got out ready to take off
the crew when the word to abandon the
ship should be given.
AS this dispatch is cabled nearly all
hope OF saving the Elder may be said to
have been abandoned. Seventy-six bags
of mail have been landed. and number
of the crew have also been sent ashore
in the local life boats. The Elders life
boats have been launched and are along
side of her, ready to take off the re.
mainder of the crew. The sea LIS break
ing furiously over the unfortunate boat
and wreckage from her is being washed
ashore. She is now full of water.
Acting, it is believed, under iustruc.
tions from the agents of the company
the officers of the Elder, refuse to give
any explanation on the the disaster,
further than to say that Sunday night
was SO very foggy that they were un.
able to see any lights on the English
coast while making their way up the
channel. AT rough estimate the cargo
of the Elder is valued at about $50, 900,
not including the specie, which win be
saved. The steamship is valued al
100000. Both vessel aud cargo are
fully insured.
