Pleasant Occasion.

On Thursday evening last compli-
mentary musicale was given at the
home of Misses A, j.. Chaplin and L,
F. Wightman, 9S Clark street Those
privileged so to DO enjoyed, to the full
the singing of these ladies, assisted
by pupils, and other friends.
One number of the program, which
seemed especially to please those as
sembled, was q banjo solo by little Miss
Nellie Terrell. .t
Perhaps the most enjoyable feature
of the entertainment was a vocal solo
by Miss Wightman, accompanied on
the Apollo harp by Miss Chaplin.
This harp is an instrument recently
brought before the public, being most
unique in it's construction and capable,
in the hands of a skillful performer, of
producing music of varied compass and
sweetness.
We understand that these ladies go
with their harp, at no distant day, to
fill engagements out of town. 1t is to
be hoped that the public of our own
city may be favored as We're the few
friends Thursday night. e. f. A.

During the Greater Part of the Day Stocks
We're Dull


New York, March 6.-Stocks We're
dun during the greater part OF the day.
Apathy characterized the dealings until
the last hour OF business, when fairly
large amounts of Tobacco came upon
the market. The late decline in the
general list was due to an unfounded
report OF the serious Illness of Mr.. ].
Z. Morgan, and to vague rumors from
Washington that the president would
endorse the action of congress in the
Cuban matter. Tobacco and Chicago
Gas were the particularly weak spots.
Tobacco fell from 1874 to 1885 and
closed at the lowest point of the day
professional operators were the heavi-
est sellers of the stock on western re-
ports that the opposition concerns were
cutting into the revenues of the com
pany.
Chicago Gas fell to 65% from G67s on
the announcement that there would be
no decision in the reorganization case
until October. Rubber common drop
ped from 70 to 22s and later returned
to 24%. The dissensions in the direc-
tory caused the break. Sugar and
General Electric were comparatively
finn throughout. London bought lit
tie st. Paul and sold some Louisville
and Nashville, but the foreign opera
lions had no special influence. Balti-
more and Ohio fell to 10 on fears Of q
big assessment and then returned to
lax on covering of short contracts.
The decline in the other railway is
sues ranged from V to T1s per cent.
The closing was weak Net changes,

Cboked by a Negro.

Elizabeth, March Ga bold attempt
was made to commit highway rob-
berry in this city last night. Miss
Sarah Hopkins of Madison avenue was
returning home from visiting friends on
North Broad street. When she was OPP
posite Westminster avenue, about III
o'clock, burly negro sprang on her
from behind a tree where he was stand
ing. e.s,,ss
He caught Miss Hopkins by the throat
which prevented her from crying out.
He held one of his hands on her throat
and with the other tried to steal her
watch and purse. Miss Hopkins is
somewhat of an athlete and struggled
with the highwayman
She succeeded in loosening the hold
of the negro on her throat so as to be
able to cry for assistance. Her screams
We're heard by William P. Toler, who
was nearby. He saw Policeman John
Lucas a few blocks away. and calling
to him, ran to the assistance of Miss
Hopkins. At the approach Of Toler the
negro let go Miss Hopkins and started
to run up Westfield avenue, pursued by
| Policeman Lucas.
The policeman drew his revolver and
| fired at the negro as he reached the cor
ner Of Union street and Eugene place.
The negro stopped. Policeman Lucas
took him to the station house, where
he described himself as Walter Osborne,
alias John Toadrine. He said he was
twenty-five years of age, and that he
! lived on Moore avenue, this city.
He was locked up and this morning
Miss Hopkins and Toler positively ideh-
titled him as the young woman's assail-
ant, 6gt
| He denied the charge. but was com
| mitted. In his pocket was found half
of a brick. The man is not knownsto
| the police here.
| Miss Hopkins had not entirely recov-
/. cred this morning from the shock, she
received, and was nervous and excited
when she appeared against the negro.

the body at $50 o'clock. The attack
on the girl could not have lasted more
than three minutes, Chief Graul ex-
pressed very positively his belief that
the man who attacked Miss Lynch and
Miss Graves could not have been the
murderer, as such descriptions as they
gave did not fit the gray-coated person.
They have secured the city for this
man, but with no results. Considering
the time, the place and the complete
disappearance Of the murderer, this
case is one of the most remarkable on
record Although Chief Graul does not
believe that the murderer's motive was
to assault his victim improperly, there
is every evidence to that effect The
girls delirious EXPLANATIONS while in
the hospital point to that. She cried
out as IL she were defending her honor.
IT would seem as If her assailant be-
lieved the dark street-for the lamps
were not burning-was suitable to his
purpose, but was frightened away be-
fore 1t was accomplished by the APP
proach of Peterson or some other per-
son.
The funeral of the dead woman will
be held at o'clock tomorrow morning
at st. Joseph's church. The attend
ance will be large, for Miss Sullivan
was well known throughout the city,
and was very popular. The fact that
she taught music to the children of
many families gave her an extended ac-
quaintance. Then, too. the city has
been greatly stirred up by the murder
occurring as it did in its very heart, and
under circumstances so brutal and
mysterious.

Resorted TO Dynamite.

Brunswick, Me-, March 6.-The water
in the Androscoggin river, which had
begun to subside, has been rising rap
idly for the last twenty-four hours and
is now higher than it has been at any
time this week. This rise Is caused by
an immense jam of ice and logs COM
mencing about mile below here, in
the "Narrows" and extending for sew
eral miles down the river in it's narrow
part. The ice rises several feet above
the surface of the water and extends
to the very bed of the river, forming
a complete obstruction. Men were at
work all day trying to break the lam
by the use of dynamite, but the water
is still rising. The families on Water
street have abandoned their houses.
and the prevailing opinion here is that
the worst of the damage has not yet
been done.
