Miss Carlton's fine contralto voice, though powerful, is of velvety timbre, if one may use that adjective, and it never loses this peculiar charm in the high note*, nor in the fortes.

Hie Donizetti aria, which after its kind displays the voice as an exquisite musical instrument, and treats it accordingly, always with the 'elegant precision of a regular musical form, was given by Miss Wi*ntworth with such perfection of tone and phrasing, that her listeners forgot that they conld not understand the text, (for which the average concert goer has an eager appetite,) and applauded so vigorously sne gave them a charm* little song in English as an encore. Bu to the reporter's the two songs by Godard were most delightful, especially the sparkling, graceful "Embarquez vous," not only for itself, but because it suggested, rather than declared, as did the aria, the cultivation of the singer's lovely voice.

Mr. O'Neil's playing made one believe with Perugine, that there must be violins in Heaven, in spite of posnible difficulties in obtaining strings. While the non-professional public do not know in what finish consists, it i« sensitive to it. But Mr. O'Neil lias more than the taste and skill which make finish. He grasps the composing he is rendering as a whole and gives one dramatic climages of tone expression with elan, as well as with exquisite coloring. When the opening number, a Beethoven sonata for violin arid piano was concluded, one said to himself, there will be nothing better than this. But the Vieuxtemps solo, and the Elegy, a composition of mneh sentiment which reluctantly concludes with a deliciously drawn out finale suggesting Schubert, discovered to the listener that if No. 2 is not better than No. 1, it may be quite as enchanting.

Besides doing the self effacing work of an accompanist with delicate sympathy, and with Mr. O'Neil interpreting the "sweetness and light" of the Beethoven sonata, Miss Alden gave us two solos, both from the Schumann Phantasiesturk. The questioning,—restless Warum, and the powerful imaginative Aufscbwung. The choice was admirable to show her gifts as a pianist, the one demanding tenderness, the other refined fire, ana both a rare degree of musical intelligence and feeling. The only Haw in the evening was the length of it.—-Tt was too short.

The two jolly comedians, Evans & Hoey will present their laughable comedy, "A Parlor Match," at Naylor's opera house on Wednesday, April 9th. This piece is one of the best Mr. Hoyt ever wrote and it contains mote genuine fun than a dozen of the so-called comedies being presented, which is no doubt due to the excellence of the company. Evans & lloey have not appeared before the theater goers of this city for some time, and we bespe.'ik a hearty reception for them next Wednesday evening. Seats can be secured to-morrow at Button's. Usual prices.

A concert has been arranged to be given at the opera house, Tuesday, April 8th. The programme published on second page shows the character of the entertainment As this is given for a benevolent cause, the house should be packed. Secure your seats at Button's.

%v4*f WJLKHBBABHE, Pa,, April 4.—For the first time since the fatal night when the fire broke out, the rock tunnel workinga of the South Wilkesbarre colliery, in which eight men are still entombed were visited. For more than a week huge buckets, each holding 1,500 gallons of water, have been racing up and down the shaft day and night hoisting^ up water that was poured in to extinguish the fire. General Superintendent Scott and District Superintendent Morgan, Inside Foreman Fields and a few picked men entered tbe mine and

after encountering many difficulties and *led king Stanton mines. They found the fire had extended through nearly all the workings of the colliery. Timbers were burned out and roads filled to the depth of many feet wiih rubbish, fallen timbere, rock and coal that had fallen from the roof and sides. In some places gangways are almost filled to the roof. No trace was found of tbe missing men and there is no doubt that their remains are somewhere underneath the maes of rubbish that fills tbe gangways. Work will be commenced to-day clearing away the wreck and re-opening the mine and the remains of victims will probably be found. Morgan Price, another of the men injured, in the explosion in the Susquehanna coal company mine at Nanticoke yesterday, died last night from his injuries. He was conscious for some time after he was brought home. He said when the gas went off he was lifted from his feet and blown clear through the brattice. He lay unconscious where he fell for some time and just as he was coming to he was picked up a second time and rolled like a ball for some distance of fifty feet. He was literally cooked, shreds of flesh hanging from his bodv. He suffered intense agony during the afternoon and evening wnen death mercifully ended his tortured

THE LOUISVILLE 8UFFERERS.%|

Methlns But Immediate Wnut* Have Been Attended to, LOUISVILLE, April 4.—The contribution for the relief of sufferers by the tornado amount to nearly $130,000. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road give« $2,600. For Jeffereonville, Henry Peters, now in California, contributed $500, and several-other liberal contributions were received there. A score of inspectors maintain a constant and systematic supervision, and no genuine want can easily escape notice. In order to have the best of service, a half dozen experienced men are paid regular salaries to ferret out the needy and report. A very small proportion of the subscription fund has been paid out, as nothing but immediate wants has been relieved,

The above speaks for itself. The amount realized by the entertainments pushed forward by THE NKWS will be verv gratefully received.

The following from the editorial columns of the Indianapolis Journal shows tbe feeling existing in that city toward the sufferers left destitute at Jeffereonville: "Indianapolis ought to do something for Jeffereonville. There is a great deal of destitution in that little city, and the people of Jeffereonville are not able to cope with It Indianapolis should come to the rescue without delay." jrORNADOESSTirL BREWINQ.

THE CRUSADERS ARE AT WORK. Bold Deeds ol Fl*« Women at Faiminv ton, Xo.

FAKMXKGTON, Mo.f April 4.—Five womesn of this city made a determined and successful raid yesterday upon the supplies of the "blind tiger," which haa been running in this vicinity for some time, contrary to the local option law, which is in force in this and neighboring towns. One of the women recently made a tingle-handed attack with MI ax upon the saloons, and this brought to the attention of the women the fact that several saloons were running in violation of the law. The ladies then served notice upon the saloon-keepers that they most close their places of business or be closed by the crusaders. Tbe saloon-keepers swore out warrants against the women for conspiracy, and since that time the feeling has become very bitter.

Yesterday morning five wromen, Mrs. Jennie Foster, Mrs. G.W. Williams, Mrs. Howard Jerrold, Mrs. William Odgera and Mrs. Ginley, met at tbe Presbyterian Church during the ladies' prayer-meet-ing, by preconcerted plan. Each wore a heavy shawl and concealed under it carried an ax. One was armed with a small rifle.

After prayer-meeting the crusaders started out on their raid. They had not gone far before they met August Tromson's beer wagon, Vaded with twentyfive kegs of beer. They forced the driver to descend from his seat, 8«ashed the heads in, and allowed the beer to run into the gutter. Mrs. Foster had assumed the captaincy of the crusaders, and taking possession of the wagon mounted the driver's seat and drove her companions to the Delassus railway station, where the Farmington saloonists receive their consignments of beer and liquor. There they found twenty-six kegs and twentyfive cases of beer consigned to a saloonistatDocrun. With their axes the crusaders broke the bottles and smashed the kegs. The women then drove back to Farmington and returned to August Tromson his horse and wagon. Tromson threatens to prosecute the women.

Bennett, armed with a warrant authorizing him to attach the trunk of a negro woman, who was about to leave the state, for debt, made a horrible discovery yesterday morning. While waiting at the depot for the arrival of the woman's trunk a baggage wagon deposited it on the platform. The officer seized it and opened it to investigate its contents. As he did so he wa9 astounded to find the body of a woman packed closely in the box. It was that of the woman whom the warrant waa issued against. She died the previous night and was being shipped to relatives in a trunk, as her friends were 60 poor they could not buy a coffin for her. •IflTo Mateh Nnlllvan and Jackson.

RICHMOND, V., April 4.—No little stir was caused hero yesterday by a report that under the privilege of the bill recently passed by the legislature, incorporating the sporting and athletic association of Norfolk, allowing this club to have prize fights, Sullivan and Jackson woulcf be invited to fight without molestation in Virginia. lawyers assert that any interference on the part of the police witb the fighters would be illegal, as tbe law clearly gives the association the right to have these fights on their grounds. Sullivan, it is said, is ready to fight in Virginia, The Athletic Club will try to arrange for a match.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 4. 1890. TWO CENTS.

INJUNCTION SUIT FILED.

THE CITY TO BE EMOIHBD FROM PAYlXtt FOE THE TK1TCK.

The Salt Is Filed this Morning and Comes Up To-Xorrow—A MvmterIons SfoTeaaent—Clrealt and

Superior Court a.

A News writer called at tbe office of the County Clerk about 10 o'clock yesterday morning and asked Mr. Warren for any information regarding the filing of the threatened injunction suit against the dty, restraining the purchase of the Aerial truck. "I know nothing regarding the matter," said the county official. Again the question was asked later in the day of Mr. P. B. O'Reilly if such a case had been filed and his reply, like that of his chief, was "No Sir!

110

suit of that kind

has yet been filed," and at five o'clock Mr. Geo. Davis of Davis, Robinson & Davis, who are attorneys for the plaintiff, had the papers in his pocket* and at that time they had not been filed or made a matter of public record.

The papers in the case were filed' for record in the Superior court this morning about 8:45 o'clock, and the threatened and while some mysterious injunction case was docketed and* beeame public property as apart of the public records of the clerk's office, and this morning summons were issued for the appearance of Mayor Danaldson, Treasurer Hauck, City Clerk Duddleston and the members of the fire committee, induding Hybarger, the Bdd, in the Sujperior court to-morrow morning at which time an application for a temporary injuction will be made and arguea. The papers were evidently prepared for filing in the Circuit court, as the briefing indicated, but show that the word "Superior" has been substituted for "Circuit," the latter word having been nearly obliterated by the master stroke of %r. heavy hand and quill pen welljj§?filled with jet black ink. It isv^therefore presumed that either tins parties bringing the suit or Judge Mack himself preferred for some season that Judge Allen should assume the responsibility of deciding the question of injunction. From a vague rumor that was Bailing placidly around in the atmosphere of the court house this morning it might also very reasonably be presumed that Judge Allen would have been just, as well satisfied if the case had been left where it was first filed. At all events it will be heard, as stated, in the Superior court to-morrow, and tbe matter of injunction will shortly thereafter be decided. The title of the case is, Spencer F. Ball vs. The City of Terre llaute, Frank C. Danaldson, Alonzo C. Duddleston, Wm. W. Hauck-and Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing Co., and the complaint, in substance recites that the complainant has been a resident and citizen of Terre Haute for several years and is now a tax tyer, that the taxable property of Terre auto as shown by the last assessment of said property for state and county purposes, is $15,152,740: that the indebtedness of said city is of the aggregate sum of $343,910.84 and is and for long time past has leen more than 2 per centum of the value of the taxable property of Terre llaute. It then goes on to rebash the action of the last meeting of the Council accepting the bid of the Babeock company for the furnishing of new aerial truck to cost $3,400 and ordering the purchase, proceeds to assert -and prove, through the couree of low terms ana technical phraseology peculiar to such 1, the entire illegality of the

documents council's action in expending the public through contracts avenue the much talked of aerial truck.

The Gazette 111 its long-winded article on the subject says: "The purchase of tin's unnecessary truck when the city is unable to pay even her street laborers in cash, and has already exceeded her limit of indebtedness is going to he vigorously fought in the courts.

The Express this morning has the following to say in regard to the matter "An injunction suit has been brought by one of the Gazette's proprietors to enjoin the dty from purchasing the aerial truck. The action is a tardy one if the reasons assigned by the Gazette for this action be believed. The main ground on which the injunction is filed, is that the city debt is beyond the constitutional limit.

It is only a few months since the Gazette got something over a hundred dollars for advertising forbids for street improvement when the city debt was beyond the limit and never uttered a word of protest against such extravagant expenditure of money. Did the rat allowance for advertising serve to lessen the illegality of the street paving scheme, or is this another attempt to play the high moral role when tbe Gazette believer its party is about to lie driven from control of city affium by reason of its shameless recoitl?"

THE COURTS.

Saperlor Conrt

After hearing motions and unimportant arguments for about an hour, this morning, Judge Alien adjourned court until 1 o'clock. Judge Maxwell came down from Roekvilie, this morning, for the purpose of hearing arguments in that mo*ty, old, threadbare square bole boring combination of five different cases, which for months have been a source of dread to judges, jury, lawyers and clerks, not to mention news gatherers.

curred last evening at the Princess's Theatre, where "Master ami Man'1 is on the bills. During the drunken scene Brandon Thomas, the author and actor, has to drink whiskey from a dottle. Last evening the bottle instead of containing whiskey held a disgusting mixture that nearly stangled Mr. Thomas on making an effort to swallow it On coming off the stage Thomas attacked the property man, whom he charged with tbe substitution, hitting him in tbe mouth, breaking his nose and knocking out several of his teeth. During the row Thomas broke his eyeglasses, and, not being able to see, fell down several steps. He finally went home in a cab yelling and shouting like a madman.

The emperor insisting upon the ex-chancel-lor's acceptance of the title, the latter said his decision was irrevocable and the emperor declared his was equally so, whereupon it was agreed that Prince Bismarck should not personally bear the title, though it was his.

DEAR SIR:—The town of Parkland, a suburb of Louisville, but an independent corporation, suffered as much in the recent tornado, in proportiou to population and relative value of property, as that dty. The town consists of suburban residences, not of millionaires or retired capitalists, but of men in moderate circumstances, many of whom are unable to bear the loss that has fallen upon them. Their pleasant little homes were the savings of years, and are now swept away, leaving them homeless, nearly naked in some instances, and without means to repair the damages. Louisville has suffered too severely herself to render assistance to any outside of her own corporation. Her loss will extend into millions—ours, with about a thousand inhabitants, will aggregate at least $i00,(XX). We cannot bear the loss without aid. Any contributions sent to the undersigned relief committee, of which the mayor of Parkland is chairman, will be most thank, fully received and judiciously distributed. We must have assistance, of sutler severely in many instances, and the sooner wb get it the better it will be for our homeless citizens, and the sooner we can provide for them. The only thing wo need is money to repair our hemes and replace the clothing and furniture of those not able to bear their losses.

Very respectfully, etc., F. K. l.Kwis, J. W. DKAKK,

Becker began to loose his wind and Brown, his tongue, that the parties were separated and the outrageous racket brought to a close. Becker cleansed away the marks of conflict from his person as well as soap and water would allow and went to bed. Brown disapjeared also, only to make himself publicly obnoxious later 111 tbe night by wandering all over tbe West End on anything but a still hunt after "Windy," whom be had firmly resolved to slaughter.

"WINDY" WINDED.

"Windy* Becker and "Sally•' Brown tnru Oallantine Upside Down. The (iallantine district of the city is and has been for years, a quarter of the city that has furnished about four-fifths of the disorder, saloon fights, brawls and general disturbance that has disgraced social records in tbis city. It has been the resort and abiding place of a large proportion of the lowest and most, depraved and degraded individuals who have, in this city, ridden the patrol wagon or looked through the beautiful' checker-work of the county bastilo. Last night JFrank Lee's ealoon was the scetie of a most disgraceful knock-down., drag-out fight between George, alias Windy, Becker and the much published "Sally" Brown. The fight commented in one of bee's poker parlors which Hy barge permits to run in violation of law and ended at the bar. In the poker room Becker was thumped into an acknowledgment that he was anything but the "best man." In fact,, "Sally" played ball with him all over the place. After this "grand opening" they washed off from their persons the dirt, blood, hair, etc., accumulated in the scrimmage and retired to the bar for drinks. Here Brown just dropped the suggestion that "Windy" had $2 of his (Brown's) money which had not been honorably won in that little game of draw. This Becker denied and made the atmosphere literally smoke with the most artistic profanity etc. Then they came together again and "Sally" went down with Becker in a position of advantage. Becker throttled him with one hand and commenced to beat a tattoo on his upturned and expressive countenance with the other, ana it was not until
