Uneasiness About the Overdue steamer
City of rekIl.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 30.-Uneasincss
over the steamer City of Pekin has
changed to alarm among the friends of
her passengers. The steamer was due
from Hong Kong and Yokohama last
Tuesday. Allowing that she took the
longer southern route. she ought
to have been here Friday. She is
now six days overdue, and il
is certain some accident has be-
fallen her. Her commander, Capt.
Scarle, is one of the Pacific Mails care
full captains and never runs any risk. She
is one of the strongest boats on the
China line and has been very free
from accidents. 1t is suggested as one
reason for her delay that she may have
been met by a vessel from Honolulu
and asked to stop there to aid the Bos-
ton in maintaining order. but this
theory is not regarded as very probable.

CoNCERT.-The concert given by the
Relief Hook and Ladder Company last
night at the Opera House was decided
success, the unanimous verdict being
that it was the finest entertainment OF
its kind ever seen in this city. The
Washington Concert Company render
ed several selections in excellent style
and were repeatedly encored. The gem
tlemen composing this company are all
accomplished singers, the solos of
Messrs. Cathell, Anderson, Mason and
Miller being unusually well rendered,
as were also their quartette selections.
The vocal solos of Mr.. George Evans
and Mr.. NJ. S. Wright and the flute
solos of Mr.. Will L. Cooper were artis-
tically executed and showed that they
were entitled to higher positions in their
respective lines than even their friends
claim. The only recitationist on the
programme, Mr.. Alfred Barker, ably
sustained his part, hsrendition of"Ihe
Corsican" being splendid, as was also
his "Casey at the Bat" Mr.. Barker
has fine voice and is very graceful.
The monologues and comic songs of
Mr.. W. P. Gallaher kept the audience
in excellent spirits. The brass music
was excellent and was rendered by
members of the Musical Association, as
sisted by Messrs. Grosskurth, Myers
and Kepler, of Washington, with Prof.
A. G. Hoffman,, who seemed to infuse
snap and vim in each musician, as con-
ductor. Mr.. Sherman B. Fowler and
Miss Ethel Waterbury were the accom-
panists and played splcndidly.

THROWN FROM 4 BUGGY AND KILL
ED.-On Saturday morning last Mr.
John Paten, resident of Fairfax coun-
", - years OF age, was killed while at
tempting to cross the new iron one
span bridge that crosses Pimmet Run,
near the High View Hotel at the Vir-
GINA end Of the Chain bridge. The
bridge is so narrow as to admit but one
vehicle at time. Mr.. Paten, who was
in dog cart with his son, was OF the
bridge before he noticed the presence
of double-team country wagon. TO
pass each other was an impossibility
and a collision was the result. The
horse driven by Mr.. Paten Immediately
began to kick. The son of Mr.. Paten,
who was in the cart with him got out
with the view of catching the horse by
the head, but a quick jerk upset the
vehicle, threw the old man out through
the opening between the railing and to
the rocks below, which he struck with
such force as to Kill him. Mrs. Sarah
Mutersbaugh was the driver of the
country team.

Mr.. MAY Nor A CANDIDATE.-Mr.
w. H. May yesterday made a propose
ton to Mr.. J. Il. Cation looking to the
withdrawal of one or the other rs can
didates for the Legislature. Mr.. Cation
suggested that the matter had best be
left to their respective friends, and it
was agreed to. Each candidate then
named three friends with the under
standing that the six selected should
meet and, after conference, say who,
in their opinion, had the better chance
of election. The two candidates were
to be bound by the decision of their
friends and the one named as the weak
er was to withdraw from the contest.
The six gentlemen selected met in the
evening and after conference called
in seventh. After a further confer
ence it was agreed that Mr.. Cation
would be a stronger candidate before
the public than Mr.. May, thereupon the
latter gentlemen gracefully retired, ex
pressed himselfas satisfied with The re-
suit and pledged Mr. Cation his hearty
support. This leaves Messrs. Bend
helm and Cation the only two candi-
dates low in the field, with the county
to hear from.

birds or marks within the city limits.
Yesterday ball from one of these

the residence of Mr.. Ed. Hantzmcn, on
Duke street. 1t fortunately struck no.
body, although no thanks are due to

lice have standing orders to arrest all

The WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL.-A
letter from Washington says The war
of the musicians-the aftermath of the
Capitol centennial celebration-is at
tracing a great deal of interest in
Washington. 1t is the direct result OF
the miserable failure of the vocal part
of the musical programme. Even the
managers of the affair themselves con-
cede that the entire affair, if not q
failure, was, at least, far below the
expectations that were aroused by the
statements made previous to the event.
That the centennial was not success
vas due entirely to the fact that no To-
cal interest was taken in the matter, as
:, was we'll known that the entire affair

iand from which to pay the expenses of
the celebration has led to all the trou-
bIe that has since developed. The big
chorus of 1900 voices was a miserable
failure. and the leader of that chorus,
Henry d. Coward, is now attempting
to fasten the blame for the failure upon
