MISS INGERsOLL's POP.
The Valentine Concert at the Hyperion Last
 Evening.

Miss Justine Ingersoll's charities have extended in many directions and been known in many ways but she never conceived more cornmendable idea than that of providing the people with good music at reasonable prices. Her pops" several seasons ago were de- lightful and successful institution, and their revival this winter was hailed with joy. The choice of Valentines day was happy thought, and people ap- preciated it and celebrated by turning out in large numbers.
 The stage was prettily set and the decorations were all in honor of the day. Pairs of hearts were hung over the doors and two enormous red hearts, thrust through with golden darts, stood on easels at either side of the stage. The program was, with the exception of Miss IngersolPs selections, entirely by the Mozart Symphony club of New York and their soloist, Miss Louise Gu maer, contralto formerly of this city. All the numbers were well received. Madame La Roche's solos on the chro- matic harp and MT. Theodore Hochs cornet solos seemed especially to please the audience and they were enthusias- tically encored. Miss Gumaer is pleas- antly remembered and was greeted with a round of applause on her entrance. She has g. beautiful contralto voice of fine, low range. She responded with encores after each number and received several handsome bouquets.
 When Miss Ingersoll came forward to recite "The Lorelei" the audience showed her what 9 warm place she holds in their hearts. She gave "The Lore1ei" in English, with an aecorpa- ninent of muted strings, and the Last Rose of Summer" in the same way as an encore. Several huge punches of roses and lilies were passed over the footlights for her. She deserves the greatest credit for this Valentine treat.

BIENNIIL ELECTIONS.
They Were the Subject of Discussion at the
 Reform Club.

Boston, Feb. 14.-There was we'll at- tended meeting of the Massachusetts Reform club at the rooms of the Elk change club this evening when the sub- ject Biennial Elections" was interest ingly discussed lby Colonel E. H. Has, kell, Hon. E. B. Hayes of Lynn, and Hon. George Fred Williams. Richard H. Dana presided. Hon. George Fred Williams in his address said if we are to contemplate the passage of the pro- posed biennial election bill we must for the future bid good bye to state ques- tions in Massachusetts, except as the national political organizations may vouchsafe their consideration.
 In supporting these resolves we are rot only flinging our state politics to the tender mercies of the national par ties, but are taking away what little opportunity is now given in off years to call state servants to their account ability, and to soberly deliberate upon the policy of our commonwealth. The national parties will absolutely domin- ate all minor and local issues in presi- dential and congressional years.

Mrs. Jennie Gubusky of 16 Dow street complained to the police yesterday af- ternoon that she had given by mistake a $5 gold piece to Harris Furnam, who was selling tickets for concert to be held in Germania hall last evening, and that he would not return to her the diff ference in the amount and the price of the ticket The price of the ticket was twenty-five cents.

Price at 55 Oak street.
 MT. Berne was found, but did not know anything about Furnam, who will answer this morning in the city court to the charge.

 Another International Convention is Pre-
 dicted.
 Washington, Feb. 14.-"Commence- ment Day. of the debate on the silver bill in the house attracted no more spectators in the gallery than any day of the past two weeks, during which it has been the pending business.
 As soon as the journal had been read the last stage of the debate upon the financial question, as involved in the senate free coinage substitute for the house bond-revenue bill, was entered upon.
 MT. Crisp, dem., of Georgia, the dem ocratic leader, began the closing speech in favor of the free coinage of silver. By unanimous consent he was given as l much time as he desired in which to complete his remarks.
 Tt is not the coinage of every ounce of silver which gives it it's value," said MT. Crisp, "but the right of every ounce of silver in the world to be coined" (Applause) Were that right restored, he claimed, the old parity of the two metals would speedily be restored. MT. Crisp argued that the United States, singly and alone could undertake with the expectation of maintaining it sue cessfully the free coinage of silver. MT. Turner, dem., of Georgia, MT. Crisp's colleague on the committee, op- posed the substitute. He made an elab- crate argument to show chat the United States could not maintain silver coinage and that an attempt to do so would cause financial convulsion in the coun- try.
 | MT. Dalzell, rep, of Pennsylvania, al so member of the ways and means committee, made the closing speech of the day. He asserted that the main proposition involved in this discussion had not been considered. That was | whether this house was ready to aban- don it's own legislation and accept the 1 legislation of the senate, which is in no way germane thereto.
 | The yeas and nays were called on l the question of concurrence, resulting yeas 90 nays 215.
 1 MT Dingley Of the house committee on ways and means, analyzing the vote on the free coinage substitute, said the 1 house .n non-concurring had sent the 1 bill back to the senate, but had not ask ed for a conference. and that the bill has not yet reached the conference stage. A motion to this effect would have to originate in the senate. MT. l Dingley added that the house will agree
 to a conference if requested, but there seemed no probability thereof, as the
 two houses were widely apart on the !, question.
 1 MT. Dingley believed that before this i congress adjourned a resolution will be i adopted inviting the countries of Flu rope to send delegates to another inter- i national conference looking to itn asree- 1 ment for a larger use of silver.

nInr-ery Brown Aground.

The four-masted schooner Margery Brown, Captain Osborn, Newport News, went aground in the harbor yesterday. She is loaded with coal to the Consoli- dated road and drew more water than the bay afforded at the time Of her ar rival. The tug Rambler failed to move the schooner and the Williams went to her assistance. It was found by the harbor captains that it would be use less to attempt to get the vessel out of the mud until another tide. It was thought last evening that the vessel would be brought to the dock about midnight.

 To the Depositors of the Sullivan Say

In accordance with this request and the approval of the bank commissioners an injunction has been granted by Judge Wallace of the supreme court. dated February 1S. 1896. restraining your officers from receiving or paying deposits. The trustees deep ly regret that the action of the deposi- tors has rendered this necessary and trust tha. confidence may soon be re- stored. thereby making the injunction of short duration.
 The trustees firmly believe in the SOL veney O. the institution and that the assets are more than ample after meet ing any probable depreciation to cover all liabilities in full.

BLINDED BY ELECTRICITY.
Serious Accident to an Engineer in Hacken- ,ir

oef1OuS taCCiOent 10 an 1tnytnPer III hacken-
 sack.
 New York, Feb. 14.-An accident oc- cured at the power house of the Hack ensack, N. J., Gas and Electric com pany this morning by which Emil Schultz, chief engineer, was tempora- rily at least, blinded. This much was learned from Dr. David St. John, but details could not be obtained. At the company's office it was said that no par itculars had been sent in by anybody connected with the plant. When Super intendent Davidson was questioned he declared that he had not yet inquired into the particulars of the occurrence.
 Dr. St. John said the accident was a serious one, but he had not been inform ed as to how it happened. He under stood that ISchultZe had been in some way affected by a flash of electricity from the machinery, probably from the dynamo, the effect of which was to blind him. The doctor could not say whether the injury was of a perma nent nature
 MT. Schultze is considered an expert electrician. He went to Hackensack from Rutherford, where he had charge of the electric plant.
