lachy, but others equally learned have
proved their authenticity at great
length and have sustained the universal
belief hat the great Irish prelate and
saint wrote them. In his prophecies
ne indicates some noticeable trait OF
all future popes from Celestine H., who
was elected in the year 1130, down to
PetruS ROmanuS, the last one, when
time will be no more.
Plus vi, who occupied the papal
chai from ITS to 1893, is given the
mystical title by St. Malachy of Pere-
grinus ApostolicuS (apostolic pilgrim),
and the exile, the peregrinations and
the death in France of that pontiff well
bears out the description. The family
name Of Plus VI. was Braschi and his
great service to the people was the
draining of the Pontine marshes, a
work of immense labor.
Each Of the succeeding popes up to
Inc including Leo XIII. was designated
ana his characteristics outlined by st,
Malachy. AS to the succeeding pom
tiffs, ten in number, the names given
by ST.. Malachy and their interpreta-
tons will suffice. They are:
Ignis Ardens (burning f1re).
Religio Depopulata (religion devastated),
Fides Intrep1da Gntrepid faith).
Pastor Angeicus (the angelic pastor).
Pastor ct Nauta (pastor and sailor).
Flos forum Glover of flowers).
De Madiate Lune from the half of the
.moon).
De Lahore Soils (from the labor Of the
sun or eclipse of the SUM.
Gloria Olive GLORY of olive).
Petrus Romanus (Peter Of Romeo.
With the last there will be no more
need of any popes on earth, for the
world will then cease to be.

SCHALSCHA'S CONCERT.
A Travelled violinist Plays YEARLY II
Mendelss0hn Han.

Frederick w. Schalscha Is the name Of
q violinist who. according to his own an
nouncements. has been making a concert
tour through Europe. Last night he effected
his appearance In this city at the verr van
ishing point Of the musical season when he
and it could 60 out into history together.
To aid him in this heeting performance he
called in Leopold Winkler. a pianist, who
has served many turns, Melanie Guttman,
a soprano, whose voice was. 90 far as We
can recall. new to Mendelssohn Hall. and
Arthur Rosenstein. accompanist. Al
though Mr.. Schalscha's name has not filed
the trumpet Of fame like Ysaye's or Sara
safes. he had a numerous audience, and a
loyal one: The applause was ready. sonor-
GUS and fluent.
The same cannot be said of the violinist's
playing. In a rondo by Schubert he played
like a sucking dove. while MIR. Winkler let
loose a large supply Of sound which made
the pleading voice Of the travelled violin
seem doubly timid' Perhaps the poor thing
In Spohrs Italian concerto Mr. Schal-
scha was more plainly heard. Then 1t
was made manifest that modesty had been
one OF the best traits Of his tone. When 1t
became confident and thrust itself upon
notice. IL disclosed the fact that it was
neither a wireless nor an electric COM
munication, but just one OF sawn catgut
which reached the hearers marrow with
deadly sureness. There really does not
seem to be any loud demand here for Violin
playing Of this European variety just now.
Still there ought TO be a certain amount
Of respect for a violinist who has just re-
turned from tour through Europe. and
a concert tour at that.
Miss Guttman sang songs by Wagner,
Tschaikowslky, Brahms, Goldmark and
Schubert. She won the sympathy OF her
hearers by her efforts, which were laborious
to her and trying to the audience.

ROW OVER PROPOSED PIER.
Union Ferry Co. Gets Injunction Against
the New York Dock Co,

The Union Ferry Company obtained from
Supreme Court Justice Garretson in Brook
Ign yesterday a temporary injunction re
straining the New York Dock Company from
erecting pier eighty-ive feet south Of the
Wall street ferry slip at Montague street
Brooklyn. and removing the pier which
now protects the ferry rack.
The Union Ferry Company AYERS that
on May 1, 1871, they entered into an agree.
ment with John II. Prentice, who owned
the property on the south side of the ferry
by which the ferry company was TO build
an eighty-five-foot pier on the property
and Mr.. Prentice was to pay for it. The
company alleges that Mr.. Prentice did not
keep his part Of the agreement and that the
Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Company
subsequently became the owner of the
property which Is now owned by the New
York Dock Company. 1t is alleged that
the New York Dock Company intends to
Their south, which will cause irreparable
damage to the ferry rack and interfere
with the operation OF the ferry.
In an affidavit George +. Spencer, the
treasurer of the New York Dock Company,
says that in 1872 the dock was adequate
for the accommodation Of the sailing vessels
and other ships Of commerce, but is now
entirely Inadequate, and the swift tides of
the East River make the docking of large
vessels on the Brooklyn shore a dangerous
operation. For this reason Mr.. Spencer
alleges. the Brooklyn shore has lost much
Of It's commercial value. He says the
Legislature has granted an extension Of
the pier line 200 feet. and the New York
Dock Company has paid to the State s42 ,s72
for land under water, and the company
and 100 feet long. which will add materially
TO the commerce and the prosperity Of
Brooklyn.
He also says that the plans were such as
TO protect the ferry rack. The tempo
rary injunction Restraints the New York
Dock Company from carrying out its project
