SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFoRE JUDGE RoNNEY.

Saturday afternoon the case Of Robert
", Jacksen and another against Mary r..
Denny was tired before Judge Bonney.
In 1880, Mrs. Denny, then residing in
Massachusetts. employed Spencer Rogers
to repair house belonging to her on
Green street, and told him when it was
completed to send the bill to her. He
employed Jackson and Dugan these
plaintiffs to do toe plastering. Mrs.
Denny settled with Mr.. Rogers. He
paid all the other bills but did not pay
the plaintiffs. After making several
demands on Mrs. Denny she promising to
come down here and attend to the mat
tar, they brought suit for their bill, a.
mounting to $50. ~.
Mrs. Denny testified that the repairs
cost great deal more than she antici-
pated, or was told by Mr.. Rogers they
would come to, and that Mr.. Rogers
writing was very difficult to decipher, and
she supposed the plasterers' bill was in
cluded in his. The real defense was that
there was no privity of contract between
her and the plaintiffs, and therefore
their. remedy was against Mr.. Rogers and
not against her. Decision for the plain
tiffs forsfull amount and interest-in all
sl03 "a.
Charles F.Libby for plaintiffs.
Soldiers and Chase for defendant.

Gilbert's Juvenile Ball.


City Hall was crammed to repletion
Saturday, by the friends of the dancing
classes of Mr.. M. B. Gilbert, whose juve-
nile exhibition took place. The dancing
was of high order of excellence, and
the principal solo dancers, like little
Cushie Snow, after her skipping rope
dance and "Caprice," Blanche Coyle in
La Boheme, Ella Burgess in 1.-THE Tam
BOURNE Batttement," Pearl Libby in the
"Zephyrs," Flossie Stanbon in the
Csardas, and little Miss Sullivan in 1.-THE
Baby, Polka" were most enthusi-
astically encored and showered
with flowers. The elaborate dances,
1.-THE Palms, ''Maids of the MIST" and
Toilette were all very pretty and
much enjoyed.
The great drawbacks were the lack OF
light and the crowd of standing specta
tors. The latter could not well be avoid
ed. The hall is not apparently half
lighted. Probably the carbons are near
ly burned out in many of the bulbs, OF
else the bulbs need to be thoroughly
washed. The lack of light was noticea-

A circular has been sent around pro-
posing the formation OF corporation
for carrying on of the business of pack

prices, taking in all the Eastern packing
houses. The capital is put at 100000,

this kind is considered necessary, in

ALONG THE WHARvES.
First Steam Launch for the Season
Down the HarbOr.

The Nellie Burns Runs Into Commercial
Wharf.-The Uncle 10 in Gale of
Wind-A MoIasses Schooner Arrives.
The water front was place of de-
light yesterday afternoon. The sea was
at it's finest blue, the islands lay calm
and inviting in the bright, warm sun
light, and maritime idlers patrolled the
ends of the wharves as in summer. The
most conspicuous sign of summer, how
ever, was the steam launch Marion.
which danced down the harbor during
the afternoon with party of five anna
teur photographers on board. The Mar
ion is the first steam launch to be out
for the season.
The fishing schooner Nellie Burns
went out yesterday morning; but the
wind blowing too hard, came back. As
she ran in she pushed her jibboon into
coal shed, on the end of Merchants
wharf, staying big hole.
The schooner Uncle 10 came in yes
terday with her main topmast and fore
topmast head gone. She lost them last
Tuesday in high wind off Monhegan.
No other damage was done.

Capt. Tanning, arrived yesterday from

Mr.. coNoER RESIGNED.
His Letter of Re signation to Park st.
Church.

The following letter was read yester-
day afternoon from the pulpit of the
First Presbyterian church, Park street:
Dear Friends and Fellow Christians:
/ feel it to be my duty to re sign the
pastoral charge of this church. ] make
this announcement with regret, but with
a firm conviction that / am taxing the
best and wisest course.
I regret the necessity OF leaving you
because of the kindly relations which
have uniformly existed between us. a
pastorate of less than two years IS not
a long one, but period OF twenty-five
months is long time to spend In con-
tinual intercourse with any body OF
people without hearing q single unk1nd
word. Such has been my treatment
while among you.
My conviction of the necessity OF this
action arises from long and careful con-
sideration. During the past five or six
months | have been painfully conscious
that the work of the church has not
been supported with that unanimity OF
effort and eagerness of spirit which are
necessary for its success. There have
been number OF members whose labors
have been conscientious and continuous,
but these have been and are still, a
small minority Of the church. My
prayers and efforts for the alteration of
this state of things have been unavafl-
ing. am thoroughly convinced that il
a reform in this matter is to be reached
at all, it must be reached under the
leadership of one better adapted to the
peculiar conditions of the field than l..
A longer stay among you would, L am
certain, be beneficial neither to the
church nor to myself.
I therefore request that you will unite
with me in petitioning the Presbytery of
Boston to dissolve the pastoral relations
now existing between us.
Affectionately your pastor,
SIDNEY S. CONGER.
A meeting has been called for the eve
ming of April 9th to consider this resig-
nation, which is to take effect May 20.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Camille p,Aryille and Venus.


Mars sounds the trumpet of war! Love
is the cause and Venus has provoked the
wrath Of that ideal impersonator, Henry
Leone, who finds his love refused by the
charming Fannie tombstone, the success
full woeing of Miss Camille D'Arville
as Prince Kan being irresistible. The
sturdy, manly music Of the role is
gIorieusIy sung by Leoni, the numb Der
with the male chorus in the second act,
having an especially stirring effect. For
two nights only "Venus" will remain
with US, April 10Th and 18th. No words
can convey an adequate idea of the
beauty of the costumes supplied for this
production. With few exceptions they
are strikingly original in design, and the
eolors and com hinations afford feast to
the eye. No artist could more success
fully com bine the delicate colors which
are used in the second act, and the
beauty of the final tableau of this
portion of the opera cannot be too high
ly praised as poem in color.
Notes.
There was a great attendance at Hands
A Cross the Sea- both afternoon and eve
ming last Saturday. The children en-
ioyed the Columbian Cadets drill vast

A musical critic says of venus"
Il have seen good many things and
places, SO that if I were tuneful might
sing about arms and men as heartily as

at City Hall April 10 and II.
