 Piece of Work.


 Springfield, Mass, May 9.-The Spring field May Festival closed this evening with an admirable performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio" and Men delssohn's Hymn of Praise" sung by a chorus of 25O voices, with the accom- paniment of an orchestra of fifty pieces. The soloists in the "Christmas Ora torio" were Miss Gertrude May Stein, contralto; W. H. Rieger, tenor; Myron W, Whitney, jr., basso, all of whom did excellent work.
 At the close of the oratorio Mime. Nordica sang Hear Ye Israel" in mag nificent style. making one of the great est successes of the festival. For an encore she sang Hear Ye Israel' from Elijah" The sololsts in the Hymn of Praise" were Nordica, Miss Stein and MT, Rieger. The orchestra gave a re- markedly strong rendering of the open ing symphony and the chorus work was strong and fine All the solos were well received and the beautiful duet for soprano and mezzo soprano, 'I Waited for the Lord," was finely sung by Nordica and Miss Stein.
 In the afternoon the Kneisel quartet gave superb concert, the program con- sistfng of Beethoven's G major quar- tet and Dvorak's new American quar- tet with Mendelssohu for violin, which was given a magnificent performance by MT.

The action was brought to recover $12,012 money lent to the defendants jointly prior to July 1. 1893. Plaintiff is a banker and stock broker and the de- fendants were jointly interested in a stock enterprise, borrowing money each from him and giving Franklin Land and Improvement company's stock and Highland street railway bonds as se- curity. The account ended with the absconding of Merrill in July 1893 De- fendant Fottler denied having any in- terest in the items relied upon by the plaintiff and Merrill being defaulted he had decidedly the laborlng oar in the defence of his position.

JURORS NOT NOTED.
Refusal to Sign Petition for Clemencs for
 the Condemned PhysioIan.

the Condemned Physician.
 New York, May 3-It was learned to- day from MT. KlmbaH, of counsel for
 Robert w Buchanan, the physician
 who after having been sentenced to death two times, has once again es- capped immediate execution, that the most strenuous of all efforts to save
 the convicted murderer's life has met with a signal lack of success. While petitionlng the governor, the supreme court of the United States, and the British ambassador Dr. Buchanan's counsel also did not leave a stone up- turned to procure a favorable petition from the twelve jurors who convicted Buchanan. The twelfth juror, Para disc, who, during the trial, was seized with epileptic fits, was, of course out of the question, the defense having raised the objection that his verdict was ln- valid, while two other jurors could not be found, their letters having been returned unopened by the postoflce. The nine other jurors, however, were found, and assembled at the call of Buchanan's counsel, who then laid be- fore them a request for petition for executive clemency in Buchanan's be- half
 The nine other jurors asked leave to withdraw into an adjoining chamber, where they delIberated at some length. When they emerged they one and all emphatically refused to sign any such petition. All further efforts therefore, to secure a plea for c1emency from any of Buchanan's jurors were reluctantly abandoned by the convicted murderer's counsel.

 lyn City Railroad.
 New York, May 3.-The Kings county grand jury for April finished it's work to-day and this morning handed up a batch of indictments to Judge Moore In the court of sessions. Among the docu- ments was an indictment against the Brooklyn City Railroad company charg- ing the corporation with manslaughter in causing the death of Mrs. Mary Med- finger of No. 14S President street on March 23 at the corner of Court and President streets. Judge Moore refused to make known the names of the in- dicted officials. As soon as the indict- ment was handed up to Judge Moore the latter communicated with District Attorney James w. Ridgway, who sent detective of the office with a summons to President Daniel Lewis to appear and plead to the indictment President Lew is at once notified his counsel. The pen atty in case of conviction on an indict- ment of this kind is a fine of $5.0O0.
 In addition to the indictment against the Brooklyn City railroad, the grand jury handed up presentment, in which it gives its opinion that the lenders in use of the trolley cars operated in Brooklyn are not a proper and suffi- cient protection to human life, and that the wheel-guards on the cars of all the companies are of little or no value in preventing fatal accidents. It is sug- gested that the state legislature pass a law requiring the adoption by all sur face railroads, whether operated by horses, trolley or cable, of the best avail able safeguard for the protection of hu- man life and limb.

FIRE IN 4 RESTAURANT.
Ignited From an Overheated Gas Stove--
 Damage Slight.

 Damage Slight. An alarm of fire was sent in from box 2S1, corner of State and Water streets, about half-past eight last evening. When the fire department arrived the interior of the Holly Tree' restaurant, conducted by John Gilday at 76 State street, was found to be in flames. They were quickly extinguished, but not be- fore considerable damage had been done by fire and water.
 The origin of the fire is uncertain The proprietor, Mir Gilday said that he had shut up the restaurant for the day at 8 o'clock, only about half an hour before the fire alarm was sent in. It is probable that it originated from an overheated gas stove. He had just tin- ished yesterday refitting and refurnish- ing the restaurant anew, so that the loss Is somewhat heavier than it otherwise would have been. It will probably be less than $1OO There is about $150 in7 surances
