THE SYMPHONY SOCIETY.
Mr. DamrOsch Presents a Programme OF
Russian Music,

The fifth subscription concert Of the
New York Symphony Society took place
last night at Carnegie Hall. Walter Dam
rosch, not to be outdone by any other con-
ductor in town, had prepared a programme
composed wholly Of music by a Russian
master, Tschaikowsky. The numbers were
the Romeo and Juliet" overture fantasy,
the piano concerto in B fiat minor, and the
third orchestral suite, which Tschaikowsky
conducted when he was here as Mr.. DAM
rosch's guest.
The Romeo and Juliet" fantasy is one
OF the most beautiful of Tschaikowsky's
shorter works and as il has not been heard
for several days despite the efforts of Mr..
Altschuler) it sounded we'll. Mr.. Damrosch
gave it a vigorous, highly oolored and
dramatic reading and the orchestra played
admirably.
The soloist was Josef Lhevinne, also
Russian, pupil Of the Russian conductor,
Safonoff, and e%xpounder Of Russian music.
The b fiat minor concerto gave him ample
scope for his crashing tonal effects, but he
did not forget to put in some delicate tints
here and there.

Il think that settles it," said the author
later. Il do not believe the railroad will
go against the plainly expressed wishes OF
the town. Mrs. Anderson is an
woman for whom l nave the highest re-
spect, but the route through her property
is the natural one, the ~straightest and the
easiest. 1t would pass nearly a mile away

Later on the town will probably learn
whether she considers it ungrateful. The
Greenwich Public Library Building was
her gift to the community. She also gave
Milbank Hall to Barnard College. Her
husband was at one time superintendent
of Yellowstone Park, and while he held this
position Mr.. Seton Thompson that was
his name at the timel made some OF his
most exhausting studies OF the habits OF
animals. John Burroughs came along later.
1t is now up to the railroad. Meantime
the Indians will stick to the reservation.
They have buried the Ratchet, but the
excavation is not yet excessively deep.

JOE FORGOT TO
Leave The CITY

Police Officer Scott created
deal of excitement shortly after s
o'clock this morning, when he fired
two shots into the air to stop a
fleeing suspect. He was trudging
along Wall street when he saw
''Dopey Joe" Downham acting in
suspicious manner in the rear of a
building. He shouted to him and
Joe lit out at a minute clip which
continued until the officer scared
him into stopping. Scott took his
prisoner to the station house. Last
week Joe was arrested, but made
his escape by jumping out of the
back window of the police station
Judge Hinkle fined him 500 which
was to be remitted if Joe would
leave town within an hour.
When the court allowed him to
go he admonished "Dopey" not to
go out and take a "shot" and for
get to leave, but it seems that is
just what he did do. When being
searched at the station today by
Tailor Smith, Joe begged to be al
lowed to keep his morphine outfit
so as to dope himself when he felt
nervous" His request was not
granted.

Death came as a relief to the intense

shot himself in the left breast early
yesterday morning, while under the
influence of liquor. The young man
was conscious to the end, having rap

the deed, and died at 1925 o'clock
this afternoon. In passing through
the lung the 44-calibre bullet tore n
large hole In that organ and missed
the heart by Il narrow margin. The
large slug passed out of the body
near the shoulder blade.
When questioned as to the cause OF
the shooting Cottingham stated that
he alone was to blame. He said that
he was "crazy drunk" and did not
