THAT MUSICAL EVENT.

By the advertisements found elsewhere

pear at the Crawford Grand on Wednes-
day evening, March the Stb. Thoms, the
great musical master of Philadelphia says
this: Miss Neatly Stevens, the star
pianist of the great west, whose fame as
an artist has created an unusual stir in
the east, was one OF the bright lights Of
the national musical convention. Her
appearance at Philadelphia aroused much
interest, which was well maintained by
her fine performance of LISTS difficult
Hungarian fantastic with orchestra ac-
com paniment This interest was not les
sened By Miss Stevens charming person
atty. Her performance of the fantastic
was marked by brilliant execution, fine
technique and artistic aplomb. Miss
Stevens won triumph and was recalled
many times by her admiring auditors.
The Boston Journal says:
Her technique WAS shown to have all the
mastery and charm of the bravura pianist,
while in contrasting attendance upon this
the perfect refinement, clearnesS, pliancy
and finish were the unmistakable traits Of
the real artist. 1t j. simply delightful 10

who makes not the slightest display Of os-
tentation aud who holds out such bril-

The Cincinnati Times-Star says:
Miss Stevens, of whom so much that is

warmly received and steadily won upon
her auditors with each succeeding mum Der

To power OF masculine proportions she

Her virtuosity falls short of none save
the two prodigies Of technical valor, Ros

tremble, because here there is head and

Three men STOPPED in front Of Main
street fruit stand yesterday. The first one
picked up an English walnut and cracked
it with as much ease as had he paid for it.
The next man picked off two dates from
a bunch outside the door, while the other
conteuted himself with two or three pea
nuts from the rooster OF course this was
all small business and in itself would
never break the dealer but suppose, on
that busy thoroughfare, 100 men shouId
do as did these three. That would make
100 English walnuts, 200 dates and 800 pea
nuts. Weigh them up aud you Will find it
amounts TO quite little sum 1t IS a
pernicious habit and one against which
the dealer has no defense.

The number of absent minded people
in this world is almost incomprehensible,"
said posofice employe. you have no
idea how many people misdirsct letters or
the great number that are mailed
without the necessary postage on them
The system Of the department is such that
if there is anything like signature to the
letter or a name on the envelope to tell
who sent ii the letter will not be lost or de-
stroyed. But Valentine day is what brings
out the mistakes. People catch the
thought that it would be great to send
some man a comic valentine and in their
haste to get it deposited in a mail box they
forget that a stamp is necessary to carry it
10 its destination and as there is neither
signature or return card on them they
must necessarily be held for postage and
then destroyed. That is why great many
people do not receive comic valentines.

WHERE is THE CARGOs
Spanish Captain Short 100000
Gallons of Oil.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-A cargo of
400, 600 gallons of crude petroleum and
some valuable refining machinery shipped
from this country to Spain has been lost
and unless Capt. Jos Call of the Spanish
steamship Cadagua, now in this port,
can explain the mystery, his vessel will
be sold. The steamer is now anchored
in the Delaware river, off League island,
and yesterday a posse of UNITED States
marshals took possession of her on in
structions from Goodrich, Deadly &
Goodrich, attorneys for George H. Alden
& Co.. the New York exporters. Alden &
Co. say that in August last they char
tered the vessel and loaded her with
900 gallons of oil and the machinery,
consigned to their agent at Valencia,
Spain. The steamer sailed on Aug. u
and in due season arrived at her desti-
nation with the cargo in good condition.

il to a man named Ayora, who repre-
scented himself to be the consignee, but
Alden & Co. knew no such man and
their agents in Valencia deny all knowl-
edge of him or the cargo. After the
goods had been shipped Brown Bros. &

FOUL PLAY FEARED.
Drowning of DIR. OIney at East Ware
ham, Mass.

EAST wAREHAM, Mass, Oct S.-Dr
Charles Theodore Olney of Brooklyn. N
Y, was drowned last night in the chan
mel in Onset bay and there is a mystery
surrounding the affair which leads to
surmise of foul play. He came here
two weeks ago in company with Miss
Lussie White of New York, an in vesti-
gator into the phenomena of materialized
spirit forms. She is a daughter of a
prominent society family of New York
They had rooms with Mrs. Bliss, the
medium. Last evening the doctor was
exceptionally gay in demeanor at the
tea table, and after supper said he was
going 10 the Shell point bathing beach,
half a mile away, for a swim.
Miss White, for some unexplained
reason, says she was prompted to fol-
low him. She states that she lost sight
of him down the avenue and returned to
the cottage, but started for the second
time. On the bluff she heard frightful
screams and spasmodic gurgling from
the darkness in the water q. short dis
lance out, and she rushed down to the
beach and put out in a small boat. She
says she reached the side of the drown
ing man and endeavored to pull him
into the boat but their combined weight
overturned the craft and he sank, while
she chung to the boat until rescued by
men who were attracted by her screams.
This morning DR.. Olney's body was re-
covered. There was a cut on the head
but that may have been made by the
boat-hook used by the body searchers,
but he was fully clothed with coat,
trousers and shoes. There is no eX
PLANTATION of his being in the channel
unless he rowed out in a dory, and
there is not a boat missing.

THE PACIFIC TRAIN ROBBERS.
Two Dead, One in Custody and the
Fourth at Large.

KALASPEEL. Mont, Oct. S.-Samuel
Shermer, one OF the Northern Pacific
train-robbers captured by Sheriff Gan
gers posse after a desperate fight near
the summit Of the Rocky mountains
Wednesday, died this afternoon in the
county Jail here from the effects of
wound received in the hip. For three
days his sufIerings have been the
most severe. Late last night he
realize that he could not live and made
complete confession regarding the train
robbery and subsequent acts. The gang
were primarily bank robbers. They
abandoned bank robbing and planned to
hold up the trains. After committing the
crime they went toward the Belt noun
tains where they separated. They re-
united at Blackfoot about two weeks ago.
They went into camp at Milvale where
Marshal Jackson surprised them. They
were then planning to hold up the Great
Northern express train near McCarty-
vile. Chapman and Shermer are now
dead. leaving Jones and White to pay the
penalty OF the crime. White is yet at
large.

AID FOR MUNCIE.
Governor Matthews Decides 70 Ex-
tend 1.-THE Appropriation.

Governor Matthews determined
Wednesday to extend the aid TO Muncie.
which citizens of that town have been
seeking, TO suppress the smallpox cpl
demic. The fact that the recommended
ton Of the state board of health was
made in the form of personal letters
from the individual members of the
board. and not as an official action of the
board. has had something to do with
the governors apparent hardness in the
matter. 1t was hoped and expected
that the board would make a report to
the governor in which it would state
that as d BODY il recommended or did
not recommend the use of a part of the
appropria tion.
The aid which is to be extended will
simply be such as to prevent the spread
of the disease beyond the limits of Nun
cie and will not be for the purpose of
furnishing subsistence to those quaran-
tined within the city nor for maintaining
the internal quarantine. A weekly sti-
pend will be given for the purpose as
stated. but the amount has not yet
been decided upon. The amount will be
based upon estimates now under con-

A CHICAGO SUICIDE.
The cdm's Letters Ginning He
Was HOunded TO Death.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-What promises to
develop into a sensational suicide oc-
CURED today on the railroad track at the
foot of Monroe-st. From papers found
on the suicides body he is believed to be
Henry Kershaw. editor and manager of
the New Orleans Commercial Early
this morning the police at the central
detail station saw a well dressed man
standing on the railroad tracks, appar-
emily engrossed in deep thought. A long
freight train was approaching. and as it
drew near him, the man threw himself
upon the track and placed his neck
across the rail. Police Lieutenant Hayes
and two patrolmen fastened from the
station. but were too late. The train
reached the man before they had crossed
half the intervening space and severed
the suicides head from his body. AS
soon as possible the train was stopped
and the mangied remains removed to a
morgue. Letters found in the mans
pockets led to his Identification and the
contents, If true, tell a sensational story.
In all of the letters which he had
written Kershaw speaks of a crime
charged against him which was prose-
cuted by a woman whom he designated
as Libbie Bloom and a number of secret
societies, and he claims that he was
bounded to the grave. He speaks of an
unfair trial in which a detective and an
attorney were bribed and induced to
work to his disadvantage. What the
outcome of the case was he does not
tell, but evidently believed that his enc
mics intended to murder him. He hint
ed In one of the letters of lynching, but
stated that he never feared them be-
cause he did not fear death. Letters
were also found on him signed by Lib
bic Bloom These letters taken in con-
nection with those written by himself
show that Kershaw became infatuated
with the Bloom woman and left wife
and children in order to live with her.
In his letters he often speaks of his wife
and children in New Orleans and the
disgrace he brought on them for the
sake of a woman whom he claims ruined
him and by persecution drove him mad.
