Singing OF Mncontln.
Nine. Maconda is sister Of Mr.. John
A. Maginnis, now in Norfolk, but for
merly city editor Of the News Leader,
of this city. Early in the concert last
night she was taken quite sick. and
after the first number nearly tainted.
She was revived by heroic treatment.
and recovered sufficiently to continue
her work, and indeed appeared quite

number. LIE Baiser," Chant d'Exile''
and maids of Cadiz," each of which
was well received. The third selec-
