THE ORATORIO SOCIETY.
Tho Samson n Delllah" OF Saint-Saens
Given at the Fourth Concert.


The fourth concert of the Oratorio Society,
concluding the thirty-third season of the
organization, took place last night at Car
negie Hall. The work chosen by Frank
Damrosch, the conductor, for presentation
was Saint-Sasns's three act opera Samson
ct Dalila.' Lest the uniformed be alarmed
by visions of the staid members Of the So
ciety clad in theatrio costumes and per-
forming the calisthenio demonstra tons
popular with stage choruses, lot 1t be re-
corded that the opera was given In
o~ratorio form.
The chorus was the familiar sandwich
OF two sides Of white with a center Of black,
Samson wore white gloves, and the tempt
ress was CARRIED as for a Murray Hill dance.
The actors in the lyric tragedy rose from
chairs when their turns came to sing and
sat down again with all the decorum that
might be observed at a Yuletide i%nterpreta-
ton Of Handel's Samson" which does not
resemble that Of the distin guished French
any more than the text Of Milton
resembles that of Ferdinand Lemaire.
It was not the first time that Samson ct
Dalila" had been offered in oratorio form.
The society has sung in hat shape ere
now. The work, too, is not unknown to
New York in its stage dress, for it was thus
given onoe Upon a time at the Metropolitan
Opera House. But even then modern
evening clothes were not absent, for William
Parry, the stage manager, swan swiftly
into the yellow sea Of stage light to bow
himself ~diminutively in acceptance of
the applause which followed the fall Of the
columns after Samson Tamagno had bowed
himself nightly.
It can be said of this work Of Saint-Saens
that when performed as an opera it sounds
like an oratorio, and when performed as an
~oratorio it sounds like an opera. Those CON-
cerned In last nights concert did what they

KILLED BY \ FALL
John Bagley Found Dead By Church
 Coers Early Yesterday Morning.

John Bagley. a well known ma sons tender. was killed some time Saturday night or Sunday morning by falling from the bank wall on the south side of the Meriden road about 100 feet north of Scovill's bridge. At this point there is no fence and the wall Is twenty or fifteen feet above the tracks. The supposition is that MT Bagley was in the rear yard and missed in calculations and went over the wall and fell, striking on his head. The body was noticed by peo- pie en route for early mass at the Immaculate Conception church. Ned ical Examiner Graves viewed the re- mains and gave permission for their removal to Mulyille's.
 MT Bagley was widower. He had two sons. John Bagley of 296 Bishop street. this city. and Michael Bagley of Plainfield, and one daughter, Miss Ellen Bagley of 13 Cherry street. His brothers are theodore, Michael and Jeremiah Bagley, all of Hartford, and James Bagley of Boston.

ROW ON THE TROLLEY
Conductor Tried to Eject a Passenger
 But Couldn't DoIt

Passengers on the car which left the center for the Baldwin street line about 6:37 last evening witnessed very interesting fight between Con ductor James Moore and James White, well known young man who resides on the Hill. The argument arose over the refusal of the conduc- tor to take transfer offered by White who boarded the car after it left the center.
 It is a rule of the company that a transfer is not good unless the pas senger boards the car at the center. It seems White got on the car short distance from the center when the conductor was just beginning to col lect fares. The car had arrived at the corner of Cole and East Main streets when Moore arrived at Whites seat and hollered fare" White rendered Moore the transfer, but the latter refused to take 1t, stating that the yellow slip was no good since the passenger got on after the car had left the center. White refused to hand over another fare and also re- fused to get off the car.
 Then the fun began. Moore started to pull White of the car, but the lat ter was immovable and could not be budged. The passengers who all seem- ed to be- in sympathy with White commenced to jeer the conductor and crowd collected round the car. While White and Moore were having the argument, the latter grabbed the formers hat and threw it into the street. Then White made a grab at the conductors hat, but was unable to get 1t. Meanwhile Moore pulled the bell rope and the car started, the conductor thinking that White would have to get off to get his skypiece. but one of the passengers picked up the hat for it's owner and when the car started once more White and his hat were still on the car. Moore stat ed that he would report the case to the first officer whom he met, but up to press hour no arrests had been made.

REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED.
Are Talking Now of Juggling With the City Wards at the Next Legislature.

While the democrats are laying plans for great battle among them selves at the coming primaries, the republicans are at work fixing things lup for the passage of an act at the next session of the general assembly redistricting the ward lines, so that they will not be on the anxious seat about the board of aldermen for some time to come. The vote in the first ward at the last election scared the wits out of the republican machine operators and they are bound to guard against repetition of any, thing of that sort. John Kellogg got knocked for what happened more than anybody else, because it was understood that he would look out for the ward lines and see that they were cut up from time to time so that the most the democrats could elect would be six aldermen, but MT Kellogg's friends think the fault rests with the aldermen and not with Mir Kellogg. There is an unwritten law, although 1t is ignored whenever 1t suits certain parties, that the city attorney shall not appear before the general assembly in support of any measure unless vote to that effect has been passed by the board of aldermen, and as this was not done, MT Kel- logg argued that 1t is unfair to charge him with neglect regarding the closeness of the vote in the first ward last year. Already some of the city fathers have been sounded" on the scheme to put slice of the first ward into the fifth and while simon pure republicans favor 1t, one or two members have not yet consented to vote for such measure, but it is safe to predict that they will be whipped into line. The section which it is in- tended to annex to the fifth begins somewhere in the neighborhood of Cherry street and runs out to Vol colt street. Most of the voters there are said to be democrats and if taken out of the first voting district it is believed that the ward would be safe for the next ten years. If the matter comes up in the aldermanic chamber and one republican should kick over the traces, the others wouldn't be able to pass it, and in case it should be acted upon favorably and Mayor Thoms vetoed 1t, something which he would be very likely to do, the re- publicans would have to get one dem- ocrat to vote with them to pass 1t over the mayors veto. This is what is worrying those who have the mat ter in hand and at the present time 1t looks as though they may decide to keep mum about it at home and have the whole thing attended to at Hartford.
