He Urges that All Persons Holding Seascn Tickets Should Be at Starr Piano Store Saturday Where They Are to Be Reserved.

Henry Gennett, president of the Richmond Centennial May Music Festival, has sent out circular letters to many people in the city, urging them not to forget the time when tickets for the festival concerts are to be reserved. The reservation of season tickets commences next Saturday morning, at the Starr Piano Company's store on Main street. The letter which Mr. Gennett is sending out above his name, is as follows: The time for the Musical Festival is at hand, and what the Executive Board have done has not been without reason or purpose, for the culture and refinement cf the Richmond public called for the best in music. There is a chorus of more than two hundred and fifty, composed exclusively of local singers, chiefly young ladies and gentlemen, under the directorship of Mr. Earhart, assisted by Mrs. Hunt. This feature alone is deserving of the encouragement of all of us, as it furnshed the opportunity of instruction and drill, very beneficial to the training of our young people. You can spend two golden hours at each of the three concerts. In addition to our home efforts the Board has selected the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, and soloists, the greatest and most import ant of all organizations in the country, engaged in this work. Several of the soloists, after the Richmond Festival, leave direct for London to fill important engagements. I have been instructed to address you as a representative citizen to be sure, either to call in person or by proxy at the warerooms of the Starr Piano Co., at 10th and Main streets, Saturday, May 19th, and reserve your season tickets. This is the date for the special sale of choice premium seats, commencing at 7:30 a. m. All tickets are transferable.

Hunt; a railroad engineer living in Bath, Ind., says he has information which will probably clear Caleb Powers, twice convicted of the murder of Governor Goebel. Engineer Hunt said today that some time ago a man and his wife, whom he says he can name and point out, were in a grocery store and while there said they were positive that Caleb Powers never killed Governor Goebel, for they had been told by parties known to them who recently went to Indiana from Kentucky that it was in their home that the plot to kill Governor Goebel was planned. Because they feared arrest for complicity in the crime they left the state and moved to Indiana. 'Hunt says he knows w here the couple is living now. Powers' attorneys will endeavor to secure the evidence Hunt says he can produce. BENNETT TRIAL MAY 31 First Damage Suit Growing Out of Red MeiVs Special Wreck Will Be Heard in Court.
