THE GREAT SAENGERFEST.
The Second D y Opened With a Bril-
liant Matinee Concert.
The Feature Was the Singing Of the
Chorus Of Three Thousand School
Children-A Scene Long to Be Re-
membered-The Cheering Eclipsed
the Chorus in Volume.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 9.-The second
day of the 2Sth National Saengerfest
was begun with a matinee concert in
which the soloists were Gertrude May
Stein, Lillian Blauvelt, Conrade Beh-
rens, Emil Senger, A. L. Guile, singers,
and Richard Arnold, violinist. The
immense audience, which filled every
available spot in the hall, warmly ap-
plauded each artist, and demonstrated
decidedly that their work was appreci-
ated to the full The Cincinnati sing
ing association of 140 members, under
the direction of Louis Ehrgott, sang
THE Charm Of Night" by Storch, in
manner that captured the audience COM
pletely.
Without detracting in the least from
the praise due the stars for their excel
lent performances, 1t may be said that
the principal feature OF the afternoons
concert was the appearance and singing
of the 5000 children from the public
schools, directed by Profs. r. NJ. Nc
Cargo and e. Z. Rinehart Three num-
bers, America" Our Fair Land For-
ever" and the Watch on the Rhine"
were given by this splenddly trained
chorus, each followed by long continued
applause.
The sight of the 5000 youngsters in
the choir amphithetre was one long TO
be remembered. the girls in their bright
ly colored holiday attire, with the dark
er clothing OF the boys acted as a shad-
ing, brought out a picture which could
not be represented on cOnvass. Each
child carried a small American flag.
The singing of the children was full
of vim, and the quantity of tone was
such as to completely drown the great
symphony orchestra. In rendering
Our Fair Land Forever" the most i'm
pressiye scene of the day was enacted
when the children came TO the words
three cheers for the bonny flag that
never lost a star" and 5000 flags waved
from right to left in union with the mu-
sic. The effect was overwhelming.
Tears of delight came to the eyes Of the
men as well as of the women and then
the outburst of applause and cheering
was deafening for the time, eclipsing
the chorus in volume.
The night concert was a grand one,
made up principally Of orchestra and
chorus work, but the soloists, Kath-
arine Lohse-Khfsky, Emil Fischer,
Conrad Behrens and A. L. Guile re-
peated former conquests, the hit of the
evening being the Death Of Love"
solo in Tristun and Isolde, given by
Kiafsky, accompanied by the orchestra.

st. Clairsville O., June 9.-The Bel
mont county Democratic convention
met to-day to elect delegates to the
State convention at Columbus June %
and "a, also to the Congressional con-
vention at Steubenville June 16. The
convention was called TO order by A.
w. Kennon, who named Robert Eaton
for temporary chairman and Robert c.
Meyer for secretary.
J. W. Hingely, of Barnesville, was
chosen permanent chairman, a. a.
Clark. of St Clairsville, vice president,
and r. c. Meyer of BellaiTe, secreary.
Two sets of delegates were presented
to the convention, gold and silver, but
it was a decidedly silver gathering by

delegates were chosen:
Delegates-L. Rothermund, z. L. Al
ian, G.. II. Moth, Wm. Lupton, J. II.

Newport, Ky. June st was IN the
main deposition day in the Circuit
Court to-day. Twenty-one depositions
were read in the forenoon, and half as
many in the afternoon. Two experts
were presented by the defense. Each
of these was so skilfully and thorough
" examined by Col Nelson for the
commonwealth as to make their maj
testimony invaluable to the prosecu-
sion. All the testimony yesterday ana
to-day has been for the defense, the
commonwealth having closed last Sat
urday. Much OF the evidence to-day
was destructive. II was mainly direct
ed against the character for truth and
veracity OF George H. Jackson, the col
ored cab driver.
The principal constructive defense
was that of the McNevin family in
whose house Walling and Jackson
roomed together; also that OF two eX-
merits DR.. +. A. Davis and DR.. EDWIN T.
Landy.
An amusing feature of the afternoon
was the testimony of drunken VIII
ness VIM. Abbott who embalmed Pearl
Bryan's body. He professed to nave
diplomas from medical colleges in Bos-
ton Brooklyn and Cincinnati. His tes-
timony was nearly nullified by MS
maudlin condition.
An attempt was made partly to prove an
alibi for Walling by the dispositions OF the
McNevin sisters This testimony contra
dicted that OF some of the other witnesses
as TO where Walling was on the S0th OF
January. They failed to account for him
on the fatal Friday night, January Slst'
Dispositions OF officers of the Ohio Dental
College showed Walling at the college on
Thursday before the murder and on Sat
urday, February lst, but failed to account
for him on Friday. January 81, during the
night OF which or the cary morning fol-
lowing the murder was committed. The
age Of the prisoner, ~ years last Novem-
Der, was put in evidence and testimonials
Of mis- past good character were intro
! duced.
The thrilling scenes Of the day occurred
in the REORGANIZATION 10y Col Nelson
of medical expert Dr. f. a. Davis. chair
man of the Newport branch Of the State
Board OF Health, who testified in the Jack
son trial that he was not sure whether
Pearl Bryan was killed by being beheaded
or was beheaded afterward, but on cross
examination he said he believed the girl
was killed or the spot and then decapi-
tated. DR.. Laudy a brilliant young sur
geon, after expressing the opinion that the
girl was killed first then taken to the spot
and decapitated, said on cross-examination
that if five pints of blood was found where
she lay dead. he would think she had died
of hemorrhage there. The State has in
evidence a much greater quantity of blood
than five pints.

St. Louis. June 9.-There is already
considerable discussion among party
leaders as to the financial question and
tits becoming evident that this question
will attract more attention than any
other in the committee on resolutions.
The possibility Of a bolt by the free sil-
vev advocates is discussed freely. and
by none more so than by the silver men,
of whom there are several here. 1t is
gathered that the disposition to bolt
the convention is confined to but very
few.
Among the representatives from the
West the name Of NJ. H. DeYoung. mem
Der OF the National Committee from Cal
ifornia. and a strong advocate of free
silver. is already being urged in cor
nection with the nomination for the
Vice Presidency. When Mr.. DeYoung
WAS asked for an expression Of his views
as TO the course of the silver men, he
said: The delegates from the silver
States want the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to1. Some are very rad
zeal and talk about leaving the conyen-
tom. It's generally known that Color
ado. under the leadership Of Teller, pro-
noses TO walk out of the convention.
The California delegation has been in
strueted to vote for Mckinley and the
convention adopted a resolution in ia
vor Of the free coinage of silver. But
our delegation does not intend to leave
-be oar5v nor the convention in case OF
the failure of that nature. The silver
men think if Teller would be nominated

would be no question Of his Endorsement

Major Mckinley is a sound money

on the first ballot. There will be no
humbug Of an informal ballot as some
of the anti-McKinley people are talk

that il did when in power.
