Gentlemen:-I take this method Of in
forming you that to my personal obser-
vatlon ASH cans, barrels, &c, filled with
refuse are standing on the curbs OF
various streets in this city away into
the afternoon. 1t offers an Opportunity
for the rag-pickers to ransack the entire
barrel and draw its contents on the
slreel ana and so render the
the walk and the street cleaner who
sweeps the street unsuccessful. It further
IS apt to create disease as the summer
is coming on ana the vile odor from
said receptacles perfumes the houses
when the windows are open for fresh
air.
This matter should be remedied at once
and the refuse should be removed early
in the morning and done with the utmost
care so as not to nave the householder
to sweep again when the ash cart is
gone. It is my desire tina your Board
give this matter your earliest attention.
Respectfully yours,
E. Hoos.

SOMMERSWORTH, N. H. ApriI II
-The police of this city believe they
are now on the track of the man thew
Nanl on suspicion of being connected
with the murder of Cashier Tosa1h

pank' ana the robbery of the bank yes
terday. Word was received from, Mil
ton during the forenoon, that the team,
which has figured in the bank case
was at the Phoenix stables, where II
had been left by a man answering tho
description of the one who was seen
to enter the bank yesterday noon. Az
soon as possible, a description of the
team was given and fully identified
as the one hired from Whitten's sta
pies IN Berwick yesterday afternoon.
Inc news caused a complete reversal
OF the theory which the police had
held, up to that time, that two men
were involved in the affair. because
Joseph E. Kelly, a man well known
ABOUT town, hired the team in question
from Whitten's stable at 1 o'clock YES
terday, and Joseph Kelly is believed

PhoenlX stable. After leaving the
Team, the man boarded a train for
Nortn conway, where, it was reported
at Mlnton this morning, he purchased
a ticket for Quebec.
Upon receiving this news. Officer
Rfch, OF Berwick; Deputy Sheriff NC
Danlel. OF SOmmersworth and Sheriff
Farker, OF Dover, at once started in
pursuit, and the Canadian officials
were notified tc be on the watch. AT
the same time the local police began
tracing Kelly's movements during tho
DAY yesterday. In this they were only
partially successful, as about the onlv
facts they could, learn was that Kelly
hlred team at Whitten's stable at /

On leaving the stable, he drove In tina
opposite direction to that which he

train, who, on his way to the station

GOOD PROGRAMME ARRANGED.
ATTRACTIVE RECITAL TO DE

WEST SIDE CHORAL CONCERT
other Events on the Card of Inter
est to the Music-LOvinG PeO-
pie of st. Paul.

The Easter concert of the Seibert or
chestra at the Metropolitan opera
house this afternoon promises to be
an enjoyable musical event; the num-
bers to be presented are of a char
acter which will appeal to all classes
of music lovers, and the fact that this
will be the farewell concert Of the sea-
son insures a large attendance
The programme which will be pre-
scented today, in point of variety, nov
city and genuine musical excellence,
will certainly eclipse all previous eff
forts of this great local organization.
The opening number, the Coronation
March" from "Falkunger," and the
| closing selection, the "Czardas" from
Ritter Pasma," will be in the nature
of novelties, being entirely new to the
| local public. The overture from Semi
ramide," and the march from the SYM
phonie 'Lenora" are request" num-
| bers. and the "Tannhauser" selection
| and the overture from Tampa" are
standard selections from the Seibert
repertoire. Popular music is repre-
Sented by the fourth number 'L'Invi-
tation la Valse," which is very bril-
liant and catchy. The vocal number
of the Easter Sunday programme will
| be the beautiful ave Maria" inter-
mezzo from "Cavalleria Rutiscana."
The soloist, Miss Stella Parent, is a
local singer of promise; her voice Is
clear, ringing, vibrant soprano, and
in her selection of the famous inter-
mezzo she has displayed excellent taste
and judgment. This will certainly be
one of the most enjoyable features Of
the concert The programme in detail
! is as follows:
