THE UNIVERSITY.

The work of the board of visitors of
the University of Virginia, which was
in session many hours every day during
the commencement resulted I'm some sur
prises for the public, although there had
been some expectation of changes. It
had not, however, been anticipated that.
the reorganization would end in any inn
mediate changes in the faculty.
The appointment of DIR. =. b. Bar
ringer to succeed Prof w. NJ. thornton
in the craftsmanship of the faculty, grows
out of Professor Thorntan's Resignation
some months ago of that office
Two professors. j II. Gilmore, OF the
law department, and James NJ Garnett,
of the school of the English lan-t;age,
retire from the faculty

Robert Robertson, son of Capt. Har-
rison Robertson, of this city, has been
made superintendent of grounds and

The object of the board in making these
changes was to effect retrenchmcnt, so
that hereafter there would he u balance
of receipts over expenditures at the end
of the year, instead of Il deficit of three
or four thousand dollars. The board it
is understood, has reduced salaries in
several instances, and altogether the an

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

The trial of Robert l.. Douglass. who
is indicted for murder in Tazcwell coun-
ty, after being called up Tuesday was
continued AT the instance of the common
wealth until next Monday, on account of
the absence of important witnesses who
could not arrive before that time. The
TaZewell Republican says: From facts
recently developed in the Douglass case
and the prominence and character and
standing OF the witnesses in his behalf,
there Is no doubt but what this will
prove to he II clear case of mistaken
identity and will result in II PROMPT ac-
quittal of the accused There is good

SHORT CONVENTIONS.

The st. Louis convention was not the
first in which one ballot made the nomi-
nee.
But the convention was one of the
shortest in the history of the party, so
far as the balloting is concerned.
The short convention was the one at
Philadelphia in 1856, when John c. FIRE.
mont was nominated on the first ballot
over John Mclean. 1t required one bal
lot in the same convention for William
l.. Dayton to beat Abraham Lincoln for
Vice President
The Chicago convention of 1860 was
compelled to take four ballots before il
could select Lincoln for the first ballot
over Sherman, Chase, Bates, Dayton and
Mclean.
In 1864, at Baltimore, Lincoln was re-
nominated without opposition. except
that Missouri cast it, vote for Grant.
In 1868, ut Chicago. Grant was nomi-
mated by reclamation
The - convention, held at Philadel-
phia, unanimously rcnominated him.
1t required seven ballots ut Cincinnati
i'll 1876 to down James g. Blaine and
put in Rutherford B Hayes.
At Chicago in 1880 the Grant BOG stood
10y him for thirty-six ballots, only to see
Garfield carry away the prize
In 1884, at Chicago. Blaine was nomi-
mated on the fourth ballot, heating Ar
thur. his nearest competitor.

A Meteoric Monster Bursts Over Madrid

Madrid, February 10.-An aeorlite
burst over the city this morning, causing
great CONSERVATION among the inhabi-
tants. The first warning of the explosion
was a fash. which illuminated the sky
and was almost immediately followed by
q tremendous report. The vibrations from
which shattered hundreds of windows.
The aeorlite W as accompanied by great
white clouds and simultane Gus With the
explosion there was % trembling Of the
earth, resem bling the sensation produced
by an earthquake. When the flash and
ensuing report took place the people
rushed panic stricken into the streets and
some minutes elapsed before the excite
ment was allayed. 1t is estimated the
meteric body was twenty miles abo We
the earth when it burst.
The people OF the suburbs were also
panic stricken by the explosion. Opera-
tives in the factories ana children in the
schools and employees and others in the
markets rushed into the streets IN wild
stampede. Many persons were injured in
the aimless rushes by running into each
other OF being thrown down and trample,l
upon. The shock or the explosion was SO
great in the city that it caused n collapse
OF one house and threw down the

that his majority of 166, 600 in 1894, was
the largest ever given a Republican
candidate in New York state. 1t further
says that when the Republican state
committee last year asked for the re-
election of state officers who have been
Gov. Morton's associates as Endorsement
of the governor, the voters gave the ticket
a majority of SO, 900.
The resolution announces the signe1s
will labor earnestly and increasingly for
Gov. Morton's nomination at St. Louis.
They state that the business men, trades
men, mechanic and workingmen have
suffered from three years of business
paralysis resulting from Democratic in
capacity and misrule and that the people
demand an intelligent administration
of the government to permit them to re-
pair their shattered fortunes. They de-
clare Mr.. Morton is eminently fitted for

progress, and his nomination would do

MORNING, FEBRUARY H.

third acts The second act is more
physiological and drags. The music of
Mr.. Damros ch shows a faithful study of
Wagner, but Mr.. Damrosch wields
laboriously the tools Of giant. There is
comparatively little spontaNeity in the
vocal or orchestral writing. The instru-
mentation is boisterous throughout, and
Is monochron.atic. The first act is carried
by the situations, the acting and the gen
eral interest in the recollection of Haw-
thorne's story The music is without
distinction. The scenes by the brook and
the madrigal are the strongest numbers
in the second act. The duet between
Chillingworth and Dimmisdale is dreary
and the love duet does not rise to the
situation. The opening of the third act
is impressive and the duet between Chill
ingworth and Hester shows considerable
dramatic power. In the finale the sltua-
tion is again above the music. The chief
parts were taken acoeptably.
Mr.. Damrosch was heartily an plauded
and presented with wreaths and a loving
CUP.
