Along the Wharves.

The spring trade in shipping has not set in.
1t was thought some time ago that the season
was to be an early one, but that prophecy has
not been borne out. So far it is said by
steamer men that the season is backward. Fair
freights are being carried by the Arrowsmith
and Wakefield. blu. their cargoes are not unu-
sually heavy despite the fact that two Of the
Potomac feet, the Mattano and the George
Law, are not on their routes. Trade will have
to improve vastly before it can be profitably
divided between the Mattano, Colt, Thompson,
Pilot Boy, Wakefield, Arrowsmith, Tygert and
Sue.
The propellers are doing big business by
reason Of the heavy consignments Of Boston,
Philadelphia, New York and Providence, which
are coming this way via water. It is thought
that this trade is still in its infancy and that
within few years the water trade between
Washington and the east will be immense. Al
ready the shipping people have dreams of driv-
ing out the railroads ON these specialties.
Improvements to the steamer Sue are said to
be progressing rapidly and that she will return
to her route within q week or two. Meanwhile
the pioneer propeller Of the Potomac u run

ADJUSTMENTS.

The DAMRoscH CONCERT at Metzerott Music
Hall last night was well attended and the pro-
gram presented generally enjoyed. The
Tschaikowsky symphony, No. 10, which was
given entire here for the first time. was salts
factory in some of the movements. notably the
three that had been heard by the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra, but the final movement was
more noisy than musical The adagio from
Beethoven's septet and the SPINNING Wheel OF
Omphale BY Saint-Saens were attracuvely per-
formed, although in the latter the delicscv and
finish of Mr.. Nikisch's force were lacking.
The death scenes from Wagners Tristan and
Isolde" were hardly less tedious than
when performed by Mr.. Seidrs orchestra re-
Gently. Mr.. Plunkett Greene. the young Irish
basso, made an extremely favorable impression
in his Irish ballads. He has a rich. resonant
voice of great power and he sings with an ease
and grace rarely met with in bassos. His enuu-
citation. too, is remarkably distinct. Altogether
he Is the best basso cantante that has been
heard in this city since the late S. c. Campbell.
1t is hoped that he will be brought here again
by Mr.. Damrosch.
CITIZEN GEORGE FRANCIS Train will speak
by special request at Metzerott Music Hall to-
night. He will give a red-hot comment on cur
rent events. showing bankrupt statistics of the
late as well as the present administration, and
he will touch upon other topics Of live interest
in his graphic. eplgrammatic and pungent
style. Admission TO all parts of the house will
be Is cents, and there will be no reserved seats.
HE NoRDICA OPERATE CONCERT which Will
take place at Metzerott Music Hall tomorrow
night promises to be fully as interesting as the
one given here recently by the same company,
which called out one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences Of the season. The per-
formers include Nine. Lillian Nordica. Mme
Sofia Scalchi. Miss Louise Engel. Sig. Italo
Campanini, Sig. Giuseppe Del Puente and Mr..
Luckstone. The program will include the best
operate selections and will conclude with Sc
lections from the third, fourth and fifth acts
of Gounod's "Faust." given in concert form,
with Nine. Nordica as Marguerite. Nine.
Scalchi Seibei, Miss Engel Martha. Sig.
Campanini Faust and Sig. Del Puente as

A special from York, Pa. says: Stovers-
town, a little village seven miles southwest of
this city, was the scene of a terrible tragedy
about O'Clock last evening. The tragedy was
committed in the house Of Sylvester Glad
feiter. Daniel Hamme and his wife, his mother
and Mrs. Gladfeiter were together in a room
when Hamme suddenly drew a revolver and
shot twice at Mrs. Sylvester Gladfelter, one ball
entering he- right wrist and the other entering
her right leg near the hip. Hamme, thinking
he had killed the woman, left the house. run
ming quickly TO his own, followed by his wife.
Upon reaching there he placed the revolver to
his right ear and pulled the trigger. The ball
lodged in the brain, killing him instantly. 1t is
said that Hamme was quite intimate with Mrs.
Gladfelter, and when he and his family went
there to visit last evening he found another
man there This angered him. Mrs. Gladfelter
is seriously but not fatally injured. She il
about thirty years of age.

Ulster Threatens Bloodshed,

correspondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph who is travelling in Ulster, Ireland, writes
that preparations have now gone SO far that
nothing can prevent bloodshed in case the home
rule bill is passed. Despite the denials of Mr..
Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, the CORE
spondent says it is certain that the military au-
thorities are seeking barracks accommodations
in Belfast for considerable body of troops.
The names of the officers who have been en-
gaging quarters and the property owners who
have been approached. he adds, could be given
if necessary 10 prove his assertion. The guar
antee fund. intended for the war chest of the
men of Ulster. Is swelled daily by large contri-
buttons, as the hberality of the persons not
even appealed to for aid has surpassed Il ex-
pectatiors. Each of four eminent Irshmeu,
says the correspondent, has subscribed $50, 900
and the mayor OF Belfast has given 10000.
