Formal Accepsation and Occupation
of Beethoven Hall.

Formal Acceptation and Occupation
of Beethoven Hall.
The opening of the beautiful
hall of the Beethoven Mannerchor
of this city occurred last evening;
only members OF the society and
their families admitted. The new
hall showed up magnificently un-
der the lights, and the scene was an
animated one when Carl Beck's
orchestra opened the program a
little before 8 O'Clock. Every seat
in the body of the house was taken,
the arrangement being en- ssmilie,
and the gallery and orchestra
chairs on the dais were well filed.
There were twelve numbers on the
program, including the addresses.
After the orchestral opening
and a number by the Beethoven
Maennerchor, President Mueller
delivered an address, formally
opening to the members the beau
tiful hall and recounting the work
Of the society.
Prof. HalbedPs classes Nos. l
and 2, children and youths, gave
two delightful choral numbers,
evincing careful training and CIV
ing promise Of good results in the
future.
The singing of these classes and
the mixed class, male and female,
led by Director Carl Beck, were the
features of the evening, the latter
being enthusiastically encored.
Judge Julius Schuetze delivered
a stirring address In German, in
which language all the proceedings
were held, with the exception of
the English address by Hon. Oscar
Bergstrom.
The whole arrangement for the
evening was delightfully."- home
like, the members being gathered
around the tables and sociability
the order OF the hour.
The proceedings were not
lengthy. The floor was cleared for
dancing about III o'clock.
No more select company was
ever gathered on any occasion than
graced the elegant quarters of the
Beethoven Maennerchor last even
ing. The parlors and reception
rooms were handsomely dec
GRATED; the ladies were out
in full force and in demi-
toilet, giving color and variety TO
the rooms, which were universally
accepted as rejecting the utmost
credit upon the directors Of the So
Ciety.
With this evening the b. NJ. en-
ter formally into possession of
their new home, which they have
richly deserved, and in which they
will grow and confer honor on San
Antonio as never before.

Last night about $3.50 o'clock a
we'll dressed man OF about thirty
years Of age, walked into Otto
Blumentha's iewelry store, No.
332 West Commerce street, and
asked to be shown some diamonds.
Mr.. Blumenthal, evidently pre-
paI ing for good, Saturday nights
trade, obligingly placed q tray Of
the precious stones on thel show
case. The we'll dressed man ex-
amined them, but did not seem
satisfied with them. He requested
Mr.. Blumenthal to show him
"some OF those in the window"
Mr.. Blumenthal, erlready to
serve customer, complied with
the request, but forgot to take the
first tray away from the we'll
dressed man. When Mr.. Blumen-
thai returned with the second
tray, which he took from the win
dow, he discovered that the pre-
tended purchaser was gone, and
also the diamonds
Mr.. Blumenthal ran out to the
front door to see II he could see
anyone running down the street.
He saw no one running, not even
walking faster than usually, and
no trace of the man could he find.
He did not even know which way
he went. Mr.. Blumenthal imme-
diately went to police headquar-
ters and reported the matter.
Marshal Druse notified the police
and detectives, and in less than ten
minutes the detectives ami police
were around the different railway
stations looking for man to ans
wer the meagre description given
by Mr.. Blumenthal, whom they
would like to interview on the
price OF diamonds.
1t is estimated that the dia-
monds that were stSvaa are , ~. r !.
$4,000.

In thirteen minutes the fury in the Cherokee Bill murder case. at Fort Smith, to decided on verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree Those who believe that iil-luck is found in the number I3. will be interested to know that thirteen days elapsed from the time of the killing until Cherokee Bills conviction: it took thirteen min utes for the jury to get in a verdict; that the turnkey was engaged in lock- ing cell No. 13, when the fatal shot was fired that ended the life of Larry Heating. The counsel for the defend ant will take an appeal to the supreme court. but on what grounds no one seems to know.
 Cherokee Bills defense was insanity, and also that Keating was killed by stray bullet fired by one of the guards. 1t was proven, though, that Heating was a corpse before a shot was fired by the guards Seven guards were Tn charge of Cherokee Bill. while he was in the court room. and being taken to and from jail He was insolently de- fnsnt and indifferent until a letter he wrote and tried to smuggle out of jail week before the killing was intro duced It stated that one Of the guards would be killed the next week, then he wilted, and hung his head. He was in a very ugly mood, and would have given the guards much trouble had he been given any liberty.
