Notable fer n Now Russian Symphony and
Rough Playing by the Orchestra.
The sixth rehearsal of the Philharmonic So
ciety, held yesterday afternoon at Carnegie
Hall, was notable for the performance of a new
symphony and tho generally rough playing OF
the orchestra. The new work was the fifth
symphony of Alexander Glazounow. q Russian
composer hitherto unheard here. He is one of
the younger Russian composers, and is known
chiefly through his orchestral writings, and for
this medium has written five symphonies and
fifteen other compositions of varied character.
The symphony heard yesterday is an inter
esting composition. highly characteristic OF tho
school from which it comes, and without any
especial originality. 1t is deliberately orches-
trated, and the second movement calls for the
use OF tho triangle. piccolo. flute. cyinbals. harp.
and q chime of bells, which made the scherzo
highly colored to an unusual extent. But 1t was

NEWARK's OFFICIAL SCANDAL.
Common Council to Investigate Charges
Against Auditor Runysn.

Common council To hnVeatsRot0 CbnrGeo
Against Auditor Runysn.
The Newark Common Council last night ap-
pointed q special committee Of five to investi-
gate the actions of City Auditor Runyon in ac-
cepting commissions on premiums of insurance
on city property. alleged to be in violation Of
the city ordinances.
The matter came up on q communication from
Mayor Seymour, embodying a statement made
to him by the Auditor. In 1t Mr.. Runyon states
that for several years he received COM
missions amounting to $3.50 a year,
but did not profit by it himself. The
money was disposed of, he says. by
various charitable donations. He did nothing
against the city's interests, and did not know he
was violating a city ordinance. In 1897 he
turned a commission over to his brother. and
thus far in 1893 no commission has been re-
ceived. There was no matter of friendship
considered in placing the insurance, as the rates
and commissions were the same in all COM
panics.
When the statement was read the Republican
Aldermen voted for the appointment of the
committee. which was moved by Alderman
Denman. the Democratic leader. President
Trabold is Chairman of the committee. and tho
other members are Rowe and Dimond. Demo-
Gratis, and Sutphen and Guerin. Republicans.

4 BLIND MAN ON THE BRIDGE.

signals with "a whistle That Enable Him to
Travel SAFELY Alone.
Tho willingness of bridge employees, espe-
cially the policemen. to help the many crippled
unfortunates who travel back and forth daily Is
shown often. Probably the most interesting
daily traveller Of this kind Is n man who Is
totally blind and always travels alone. He is
able to do this partly through the kindness of
the bridge policemen, and partly with the help
OF a long nickel whistle OF the kind used by some
bicycle riders, which emits a shrill sound.
With his whistle the blind man announces
his approach as well AS the fact that he requires
assistance. At first this scheme did not work
smoothly. but il was not long before all the en-
ployees from the ticket choppers 10 the police
men and train hands knew what tho whistle

Every night between nine and ten tho blind
man alights from an elevated railroad train on

the, platform the whistle IN heard, and the
policeman on duty al the ticket box responds.
lie leads tho man past the ticket chopper and
down stairs TO the briGgo car platform and
there leaves him. The blind man again uses tho
whistle and another policeman leads him part
OF tho whistle has 10 the meantime attracted
the attention OF all the policemen on duty ON

been received by the Sheriff to hang Asbury
Mills at 2 o'clock. A few minutes before that

approaching the elastic limit o. tho metal. Each
layer, therefore, offers n rcsisia ncc at once to
the bursting strain. OF the exploding charge.
This process of building up guns is Of necessity
expensive and takes much time. During the
civil war Gen. Thomas J. ltodman, then u Cap
tain in charge of the WATERFOWL, arsenal. con
celvod n plan for producing these initial strains
in n cast.iron gun by a new process OF cooling.
Up to that time such guns Ind been cast in up
right sand moulds and allowed to cool naturally.
The heat passed of through the sand from tho
outside of the casting. with the result that the
outer metal set first, Then in successive Inv
ers the metal set toward the centre. shrinking
away all the time toward the outside. so that at
tho end. the centre, instead OF being the closest
grained and most solid OF the metal, AS 1t should
be, was already under n strain tending to buret
It. To obviate the existence OF these strains in
the wrong direction, Capt. Rodmanc constructed
his moulds with hollow cores, and through these
cores he introduced water, cooling, tho guns
from the inside. AS the metal outside cooled
upon the set metal about the core. II was brought
under a strain by, shrinkaRc, and these strains
could be regulated by the rapidity of the COOL
ing process Mt the core;
This is tho idea which was applied In making
the new 5-inch gun just tried. The suggestion
came from Capt. +. +. Hobbs of the Ordnance
