The Grau French opera-troupe commences its second season at Haverly’s Theatre to- morrow evening with a repertory much su- perior to that which was - fiven at thesame theatre afew weeks ago. ‘The season will be apened with “Mignon,” the cast being the same as before; Tuesday evening, “ Mine.

With such an attractive repertory the busi- ness wil! undoubtedly be very large. 4 REUNION OF THE AMATEUR MUSICAL CLUB. The first reunion of the Amateur Musical Club, to which the associate members were invited, occurred on Wednesday last at the rooms of the Club, No. 152 State street. As in every instance, the program was an ex- ceptionally fine one, and, with but three ex- ceptions, was fully executed to the credit of all performers. The exceptions were unfort- unately unavoidable, owing to the illness of ‘Mrs, Hadduck, Mrs. Jones, and Miss Har- mon. Although not announced untila late hour, their places were ably filled by Mrs. Henry Raymond and Miss Ward. It was a gnatter of regret, however, that the duo of ‘Mrs. Ben Jones and Mrs. Edward Barbour should have been omitted, as this number, the adagio from the Weber Concertstiicke, op. 79, was looked forward to with great in- terest; but the loss of this was somewhat Jessened by the exceptionally fine playing of ‘Miss Van de Venter, who performed the ex- ceéedingly difficult Raff suite in a manner which surprised all, showing a technique of unusual strength and clearness. As this number is well calculated to display the re- sources ‘of ‘the performer, the lady could not have selected a better work. At its conclusion the audience would not be satisfied until the lady repeated with another number, the charming “RG Bord dune Source” of Liszt, whiclt wwas very gracefully performed. ‘The assist- ing features on this occasion were Mr. Will- jam Lewis, who accompanied Mrs. Robert Clark in her vocal number, “ Les Trois Bou- quets de Marguerite,” with violin obligato. Mr. Charles A. Knorr assisted in the Costa trio, “Go to the one whom I adore.” Both numbers were very nicely done. Mrs. Hen- ry Raymond’s selection was a very brilliant performance. displaying an acquaintance with octaves quite astonishing. ‘The singing of Miss Ward, as usual, was 2 pleasing feat- ure of the program, as was_the dug between Mrs. John Clarke and Mrs. Birch. With this reunion closed the term, by limitation, of the present Acting Committee, Mrs. Edward Barbour and Mrs, Charles Haines. Mrs. Rob- ert Clarke and Mrs. Ben Jones were appoint- ed to succeed the retirint Committee. The former received the thanks of the Club for efiicient work,—a compliment well deserved. THE BACH AND HANDEL SOCIETY. ‘Those persons who may be interested in the musical affairs of the West Side will be pleased to have their attention called to the new and spromisine Society entitled the Bach and Handel of Chicago, under the lead- ership of Mr. O. Blackman. This Society has. lately adopted a constitution and by-laws, and its first election of officers was held at the rehearsal rooms, near Union Park, dur- ing the past week. Mr. T. M. Manning was elected President; Mr. C. G. Austin, e- President: Prof. 0. Blackman, Conductor; Samuel Kerr, Recording Secretary; S. G. Swischer, Financial Secretary; Mr. T. J. Sammons, Treasurer: Mr. P. Osborne,” Lit rian; O.S. Pine, M. D.. Samuel Booth, Mrs. AL'V. Price, and Mrs. Dr. Pryne, Music Committee: By their constitution the first interests of the Society are musical, and, sec- ondarily, there is provision for the introduc- tion of such social features as may promote the welfare of the Society. -By way of test- ing the utility of this latter clause the mem- bers met for a Society reception and sociable last ‘Thursday evening at the public hall on the corner. of Bishop court and West | Madison streets. Mr. Blackman, the Conductor of this Society, had presented to him’ by the members re- cently _a magnificent testimonial which is beyond the usual expression of regard ac- corded to a leader of musical socicties, It tonsists of the full orchestral scores of Men- delssohn’s Forty-second Psalm and of three pratorios,—*' Creation,” “Samson,” and “ Messiah.” LOCAL MISCELLANY. The Church Choir Pinafore troupe will be in St. Louis this week.

Miss Jessie Bartlett alto, Mr. Edward Dexter tenor, and Mr. Henry Hart baritone. The chorus will number forty voices, and Mr. Rosenbecker has arranged the music for an orchestra. of sixteen pieces. The speaking parts will be taken by professional actors. It will be pleasant intelligence to the friends of those accomplished. musicians, Mr. and Mrs, Carl Bolling, and to the mu- sical public also, that they have underlined a series of recitals at the Methodist Church Block, the first of which will be given March 5, with the assistance of Mr. Rosenbecker, Mr. Liesegang, Mr. Allen, and Master Her- mann Weizler, the latter a very remarkable pupil of Mr. KGlling’s. At the second re- cital the program .will be performed by pu- pils. We shall refer to these programs here- after, as they are very remarkal le in their composition. MUSICAL MISCELLANY. Camilla Urso has been giving concerts in Melbourne with brilliant success. Henri Winiawski_ has almost recovered from his illness. The musicians of St. Pe- tersburg are organizing a concert for his ben- efit. Theo J. Toedt, the light-voiced_and sad- eyed tenor, who sang here in the Patti con- cert, is now singing Ralph Rackstraw ina “Pinafore” party in San Francisco. It is positively stated in Italy that Signor Verdi as accepted Boito’s. new libretto of “ Othello,” and that he expects the music will be ready’ for performance in the carnival season of 1882, Pauline Markham, the famous beauty of the original Lydia ‘Thompson company, has been heard from in Arizona. She quitted her husband anda “Pinafore” company, Jeaving a letter, in which she said that she was tired of both. Owing to Mile. Singer’s continued indispo- sition, the performance of the Stra sch. Gpera troupe in Boston. have not met with success. ‘The company gave Rossini’s “* Will- jam Tell”? on Friday evening, the first per- formance of the opera in Boston for some time. Those interested _in musical matters may like-to hear that Dr. Francis Hueffer, the well-known London musical critic, and author of a book both learned and remark- able on the troubadours of Southern France, has in contemplation a magnum opus—a history of the opera. Miss Fernanda Tedesca, a young and, said to be. a very talented American violinist, from Baltimore, was announced to make her first appearance this season in Paris, on Sun- day, the 28th of last month, at M. Pasdeloup’s popular concerts. _ Miss Tedescais a pupil of Rafoldi, Wilhelmj, and Vieuxtemps, and has just achieved a most successful concert tour in Germany. $ ‘The salaries of New York City choir artists are said to be considerably lower now than they were. The highest, it is said, are paid to the organists, who receive from $1,000 to $1,500 year. Soprano and tenor salaries ing exceptionally high, and only paid to ar- tists of Specia! attractions. aritones and contraltos are easier to procure, and receive an average of #100 tess. The members of the second quartet get_from $200 to $250. Boy choristers, from $75 tu $150. The festival of the Boston Handel and Haydn Society is to take place in May. The solo artists engaged are Miss Thursby? Miss Cary, Miss Winant, Signor Campanini, Mr. Charles RK. Adams, Mr. Courtney, Mr. Fes- senden, and Mr. Whitney. The worksinow under rehearsal are Spohr’s ‘Last Judg- ment,” Handel’s “Solomon,” and ‘ Utrecht Jubilate.” | Other important compositions will, doubtless, be given, and it is to be hoped that the list of sopranos: will receive some additions, if the festival is to be an artistic success, A NEW MUSIC. Chicago—The Chicago Music Company: “Pearl of the Tropics Waltz” and “Hawkeye Grand March,” by Edgar H. Sherwood; 2 charming serios of “Six little pieces for little plyers,” by A. Baumbach, entitled “ Fairy Step: Rondo,” “Emma Galop,” “Cassie Waltz,” “Bertie Rondo,” and ‘Allie Waltz.” Also the following ingements of the Intest European sensa- Genée'’s new opera, which Messrs. Lewis & Newell have imported: “ Quadrille,” Edouard Strauss; “Valse,” by L. Streabbog;_ “Fanchette Polka,” by E. Lauweryns; * Deux Bouquets de Melodies,” by Cramer; “Petite Fantusie,” by L. Streabbog; “March,” by Gubbacrts. The arrangements are for two and four hands, and, as the opera is ereating a great sensation everywhere, these numbers will undoubtedly have a great run. _ART NOTES. Academy of Design Exhibition. At the gallery of the Academy of Design, a brief account of whose reception Tuesday evening has already appeared in these columns, are several pictures worthy of crit- ical study, and as a whole the collection’ is much above the average display when not reinforced by foreign contributions. The place of honor is assigned to Noble’s “Idle Dres:as.” A veritable Cinderella, bare-armed and in thecostume of the kitchen, surrounded by potsand pans, has fallen asleep in a rather rickety chair at the kitchen-table. One arm is thrown back over the chair, while the other supports the head of the sleeper. A misty halo forms the background, and on the nim- bus is outlined the Prince and the Fair Cin- derella, dressed in the most gorgeous of fifteenth century robes. On the floor lies a well-thumbed and. somewhat dilapidated book, containing in all probability the story - Louis Falk exhibits two new organs this week, one in Quincy, Ill., and the other in Winona, Minn. «The “ Pirates of Penzance” will be brought out at Haverly’s March 1. We are not yet apprised of the date at McVicker’s. ‘Miss Lily Runals, a young lady of this city, has been meeting with great success at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., as a reader and singer. Three Chicago musicians, Miss Julia Moran, Mr. Pratt, and Mr. Knorr, appeared ina_con- zert at Joliet, last Tuesday, for the benefit of Prof. 0. S. Kendall. ‘ Prof. E. S. Metcalf lectured last evening at Bauer’s Music Rooms on the “ Rank and In- fluence of Music, and will lecture again next Wednesday evening, at the same place, on “ The Logic of Elocution.” , Miss Hattie Cady, daughter of C. ML Cady, formerly a resident of this city, is at present visiting Mr. William Lewis, at_ Hyde Park.

Wat- cous, Mr. J. Lumbard, Mr. Edward Schulze, Mr. William Lewis, the Germania Mainner- chor, and a full orchestra. The fourteenth chamber concert at Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross’ pianu warerooms will be pt to-morrow afternoon, with the follow- ny re program: Quartet, op. 66, Rubinstein Ingersoll, Messrs, Lewis, Meyer, and which has inspired the dream, This is the most important work of Mr. Noble that has been exhibited in this city since his ““Witch Hill”) was shown here some years ago, which, however, it does not equal in foree or treatment. ‘Che conception ot “Idle Dreams ” is in themain quite pleas- ing. Romance and chivalry are not confined to the parlor or salon; they can be found in the kitchen and the attic. A little more idealizing in, the expression of the fair dreamer would have added materially to the beauty of the conception. "Technically there are several blemishes. :The outlines of ‘the figure are not sufficiently rounded off, and the shadows beneath the table fail to indicate any depth. For this reason there is a flat- ness that destroys the perspective effect. A portrait of Judge Mark Skinner, by Healey is in that artist’: happiest, in. The head is in protile; the modeling is excellent, the flesh tints and texture true to nature, and te portrait may be regarded as a speaking likeness. For Dartmouth College the same artist has also painted the portrait of Mr. John Went- worth, giving 2 full face view of the rugged and massive ex-Congressman. The expres- sion suggests * Long John” presiding over a not over-orderly political meeting, and with tis his fellow-citizens are the more fa- iniliar. A “candlelight” effect—“In the Library” —by Burghofferissomewhat Rembrandtesque in effect, but Jacks finish. It indicates, how- ever, an honest endeavor to master the difli- culty of catching the effect of color under the rays of an oil-lamp. It is more satisfactory than “ Who’s That?” a-somewhat similar study by the same artist, Torrey, a sous artist of Kalamazoo, who has spent several years in Paris, and has re- cently opened a studio_liere, contributes eight studies, mostly French landscapes painted abroad. While they are generally pleasing in drawing and composition, there is a coldness in color that suggests a st ig for effect with’ the aid of the electric light. The handling of the figure in th “Rendezvous” is positively bad. fis copy of Bertrand’s “Drowned Virginie” is as re- oulsive as the ori ited here several years ago. The portrait of William Pitt Washburne by Carr is in a free, off-hand sketehy man- ner that will command attention. There are no uncertain strokes, and the picture is one that gives promise of/ better things in the he Old Pi he “Old Plantation Home” and a “Scene in Florida,” by Stites, are flat, stale, and un- profitable. ‘here are two portraits by Schwerdt, one of an old man with long white hair and beard.. The modeling is good, the flesh texture is a transcription from nature, and the treatment of the hair is ex- cellent. The other, while in a different key, is an admirable likeness. Piekering’s “‘Mavourneen” is another at- inal, which was exhib- tempt to build up an ideal by simply giving itaname. Asa simple study. of . Rea in Fer oft as the genlus of Teviaa ee oven as r ¢ land, or even as the’ typical ‘Irish inaiden, through the in- range from $700 to $1,000, the latter sum be- | of a green dress, is taking an stramentall canons of unwarranted departure from art. LOCAL CRIME. ARRESTED FOR FORGERY. Charles A. Warner, a young man of stu- dious habits, anda reputation hitherto unblem- ished so far as the police know, was yester- day arrésted by Detectives Wiley and Am- stein upon.a charge of forgery and at- tempting to obtain moncy by. false pre- tenses. Along about one month ago a chuckle-headed boy wandered into the office of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany’s office at the corner of La Salle and ‘Washington streets. He did not appear to know what he wanted there, and no one else knew, although he wore a new cap similar to those worn by boys employed ‘as messen- gers by the Company. He was noticed, ant id readily told wha’ id questioned, an te. ar ane i siness Was. u his busi R anlly swered an advertisement aper, and had been hired by a man wi known tohim to go to the First National Bank and present for payment a check for $800, purporting to havebeen drawn by M. E. Stone, editor of the Daly News, and payable to the Western Union ‘Telegraph Company. The check was examined, and found to be «a dangerous forgery. | ‘The signature was very, nearly exact, and the check was stamped in exact imitation of a stamp used by J. J. S. Wilson, Secretary of the Company. Mr. Wilson consulted Mr. Stone at gree, and both made their way to police heatquarters with the boy. No trace could be found at that time of the forger, and the most the police could do was to send the boy home, retain the cap, and‘ await farther developments. A day or two ago an advertisement exactly similar to the first was noticed in the papers, and the de- tectives got a boy named ‘Thomas Collins to answer the advertisement and get engaged. Yesterday the boy went to the Merchants’. Loan and Trust Company with a check simi- lar to the first, except that the amount was altered to $950. Warner remained: in wait- ing for the boy to return in a doorwa: on Monroe street, where he-was arrested. At Central Station he save the name of J. J. ‘Wilson, and insisted on being so addressed. In his possession were found a quantity of stuff, but nothing in the forging line save a lithograph of Stone’s signature, published as an. advertisement of some writing institute. It was from this that Warner obtained his copy. The detectives then searched his rooms, at No. 391 West Madison street, a house rented and sub-let by his widowed mother, and thera found a quantity of type of all descriptions, rubber stamps, and machines for_printing,— in short, a very neat forger’s outfit. ‘There are some points about the case which show up Warner in a very ludicrous light, if indeed heis not ‘partially demented, as is generally suspected. The “W. U. T.” caps which. he furnished_the boys were obtained from the factory of J. C. Goebel & Co. At is stated ov) good authority that Warner was arrested in August, 1878, for attempting to extort money from Mrs. L. E. Day, a well-known resident. of this city, who was robbed supposedly by a relative of a large sum of bonds, fe was caught in the act, and itis believed was sent to Joliet for the offense. The present police ofticers at the Central Station certain! y would not know him, but Capt. MceGarigle would be able to identify him readily. Detectives Ryan and Swanson yesterday arrested in astore on Madison ‘street one Engolph Reinhold, who was formerly em- ployed as a bookkeeper by. Bernard. Bern- ard, of Boston. He quit there some- thing less than a year ago, and came to this city. Last month ‘Mr. Bernard was given a cancelled check for $500 which had been'paid by the Park National Bank to some bank in this city. Upon close examina- tion Mr. Bernard found that the date had been raised from Jan, 9, 1879 to 1880, and also that the indorsement of one Hobbs wasa forgery. He knew the check was spurious, but yet. could not deny his own handwriting _and signature upon the face of it. Finally he recollected that about a year before he had sent his book- keeper, Reinhold to Hobbs with a check for the amount, but Hobbs wishing cash had _re- fused it, and he had then told Reinhold to destroy it. It was evident that he had not destroyed it, but had changed the date. forged the indorsemen®, and then obtained the cash through aChicago bank. An officer is to be sent.on at once from Boston to take charge of him. ANOTHER HOTEL ROBBERY. Another of those mysterious robberies which have so vexed the souls of guests at the Grand Pacific and the proprietors thereof occurred night before last. The victims were Mr. IL J. Gardner, a former Governor of Massachusetts, but who came to this city last fall and has become engaged in the commis- sion business, and his two daughters. While they were’ out of their rooms, which are on the floor above the parlor one, somebody entered, using nippers, and carried off everything that he could find in the shape of money or jewelry. Clothing was not touched, although an abundance of it and very valuable, too, was lying around. The pocket-books, even, were left, though all the money which they contained was taken out of them. Not improbably, | the thief. was. one, of the colored _ boys employed about the hotel, who went through the rooms while they were at dinner, The total value of the propety taken yas in the neighborhood of $1,000. There were two Swiss watches, quite costly, which were pre- sented to the young ladies Christmas, some other jewelry, and $150 in money belongin; to Miss Maud Gardner. In addition to a this, that lady mourns the loss of a couple of diamond rings, Her money and jewelry were in alittle locked box in her bureau- drawer,—a box which also contained some letters, a card plate, etc. The two watches ‘were on a dressing-case. Her sister’s jew- elry, also of considerable value, was in a pasteboard box in the bureau-drawer. The case has been put, of course, if the hands of the police, but there is’ very ‘little probability of the recovery of anything. ‘The watches may possibly turn up, but the money is doubtless gone for good. in so large a hotel, with so many employés, it is impossible, in spite of the constant care of the provrletors, and the employment of watchmen or policemen, to prevent these occasional depredations without some assist- ance on the part of the guests. It is wise for all permanent occupants of a hotel to put dead-latches on their doors, and then be eareful to -see that they are locked whenever they go out. Nearly allof this thievery is done within three to ten minutes by somebody lounging along the corridor, who seesa guest go out and immediately utilizes the opportunity to plunder him. By the use of dead-latches this can to a great ex- tent be prevented. ———_ { THE MURDERED PAWNBROKER. The friends and relatives of Joachim, the pawnbroker murdered near Burlington, Ia., are keeping their own counsel, and there ap- pears to be nothing but conjecture at ths end of the route. It is stated that the deceased was doing an extensive business in buying stolen property, and that he and his relatives and the notorious Friedberg had formed a sort of syndicate for such goods. Also that Friedberg was the man wanted. It appears to be tolerably certain that Joachim got off the train where he did in order to meet some one whom he had cor- responded with, but whether this correspond- ence was by letter or by word of mouth in this city is not definitly settled, The wife and intimates of the deceased doubtless know something about this, and might ren- der valuable assistance if they chose in fer- reting outthe murderers. The murder has created considerable talk and conjecture in this city, and the police are anxious to get at work upon something tangible. | in ARRESTS. Frank Carpenter, a young white boy of 18 years, neat in appearance, but: low in in- stinct, was arrested and locked up at the West Madison Street Station upon suspicion of Jarceny. He has for some time past been living ina colored den on Meridian street, and has frequently been seen carrying bundles to and from the house at unseasonable hours. Nothing save a miserable muskrat cape was found in the house. ‘He was to have been married Jast nightto an overgrown homely negress, and there is a bare suspicion. that Carpenter’s predicament is the work of some rival to the woman’s affections. Henry Dunne, claiming to be an operator on the Board of Trade, was last evening ar- rested by Detectives Ryan and Swanson upon 2 warrant charging him with extorting money by threats. The complainant, John Summers, member of a. firm doing business at No. 197 Washington street, alleges ‘that Dunne has ___ extorted $10 from him, and made several attempts to getsundry other bills of equal denomi- nation. .Dunne, it appears, “‘manages” a female with a conspicnous nose, living at the corner of Market and Randolph streets, and to whom Summers: had taken a great liking. The developments, should the case come to trial, are sure to, be rich and racy. Dunneis somewhat cowardly in fighting bac and consequently had but little to say yester- day. By way of explanation he stated that Gibson had monopolized the room and con- tents, and had loafed "there in drunken carousals for days at a time, and he thought itno more than fair that Summers should help pay the expenses of the house. —— HIGHWAY ROBBERY. ‘Washington Gettey, 60 years of age, living at No. 1441 Dearborn street, while walking east on Thirtieth street, between Michigan and Wabash avenues, at 8.0’elock last even- ing, was set upon by two highwaymen, one of whom knocked him down, and then held him while the other went through his pocket- book-for 55 cents in cash and-a house key. The old man was roughly handled in the ficht, but the physician who dressed his in- juries pronounced them not serious. ABOUT A DOG. : . August Levegne, of No. St Miller street, and aman named Trussel, living at No, 251 West Polk street, had an altercation on the corner of Blue Island avenue and Polk street about the ownership of adog. Dur- ing the fizhta young man named Johnson struck Levepne on the back of the head with a boot, inflicting asevere scalp-wound, which was dressed by Dr. Marchand. | A. large paneof glass in Patrick, Carraher’s window was broken in the fight. THE JUSTICES. Mathias Hufsise was not expected to live until daylight, and the physicians in attend- ance upon him at. the County Hospital were looking for his death at.any time after mid- night. His assailant. young Herman Zehler, was yesterday held in the old bail, $1,500, to the 28th by Justice Wallace. Inasmuch as Hufsise can be proven the aggressor by his own children, the case against Zehler is a yery weak one. Van _Tuissling and Stack are in the same condition. It was last evening reported at the Chicago Avenue Station that Eaward Hopper, of No. 16 Crosby street, was lying in a precarious condition, the result of injuries received in a fight at Lotz’s saloon, No. 76 Larrabeestreet, miention of which was made in yesterday’s paper. James Burns, who accompanied ‘opper into the suloon, and who ap- pears to have been the prime cause of the row, was yesterday held_by Justice Kaufmann in $500 to the 24th. Upon hear- ing of Hopper’s condition, Lieut. Schumach- er started out to investigate, and late last night he reported that Hopper’s injuries, though painful, were not at all serious, and that the physician in attendance upon him was of the same opinion. Justice. Walsh: Isaac Lindsay, robbing Fred Walter, a newsboy, of his few pennies, $500 to the Criminal Court; Andrew Deitsch- man, shooting Frank Goff inthe Stock-Yards labor fights of two months ago, to the 2d; John Murphy, alias “Negro,” who has been identified as one of a gang of ruffians who assaulted Philip Gold- smith, saloonkeeper at No. 719 Archer avenue, robbed the place of a considerable sum of cash, and then fought back and fired at the police who attempted to capture them, $500 to the Criminal Court for riot and $1,000 to the Criminal Court for robbery. Justice Kaufmann: John Loftus, Dwyer Hill, and James Lynch, charged with holding up and robbing James Dwyer, of No. %6 North Market street, o: cash, $s00 _to the 2th. Justice Wallace: T. A. Longstreth, the dishonest clerk of D. H. Small, agent for the Goodspeed Publish- ing Company, 3500 to the Criminal Court; Jack Curran, Charles Isbell, Charles Broth- ers, and Henry Clay, colored, charged with highway assault and robbery of William Boland, of No, 521 State street, $100 each to the Criminal Court; James Finnegan, one of three highwaymen who assaulted and robbed Hi. W. Hammond at the corner of Wabash avenue and Peck court a few nights ago, $700 to the Criminal Court; Thomas Stewart, a colored brute, $100 fine; Lizzie Bennett, alias Love, larceny of $15 from William Guston, of No. 9 Archer avenue, $200 to the Criminal Court; Frank Simpson, larceny of 2 coat and hat from Mr. Simpson, of the Michigan Southern Railroad, $500 to the Criminal Court; H. W. Pierson, the cripple charged with stabbing Robert Garrett ina lodgingiouse at No. 818 Clark street, $15 ine. sy MISCELLANEOUS. John McMahon wentinto A. P. Boying- ton’s -jewelry-store on State street, near Twelfth, at about 9 o’clock last evening, and while looking at some gold -rings snatched one and made off with it, He ran around the corner of State and Twelfth streets, and Was brought to a sudden stand by a police Lieutenant and a patrolman. It is the intention of Superintendent O’Donnell to bring the Rhonow murderers to trial some time during the present weck, and, should no unexpected delay ensue Tuesday or Wednesday will, doubtless see those implicated arraigned in the Criminal Court. ‘Redney” Burns, who is doing time at Joliet, and who is undoubtedly the man who fired the fatal shot, can readily be gotten here, and Detective Keating and others have arranged for “Nibsy” Paine’s release from the jail at Stillwater, with the provision that if he is not implicated. in the murder he shall- be returned to that jail. ‘The detectives have gone over a great deal of the ground traversed by those impli- cated, and have picked up some information which will be valuable in making out a good case for the prosecution. The police say that at least two men will come very near hang- ing for the murder. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. Preparations for the Tricnnial Con- clave. The arrangements for the Triennial Con- clave of the Knights Templar are progress- ing satisfactorily, all the Committees being hard at work perfecting the details. Already the indications point to the presence of a host, and it is safe to say that there will be in Chicago in August from 22,000 to 25,000 Knights and their ladies. There are between G00 and 700. Commanderies in the United States. At this’ time, six months be- fore the Conclave, nearly 225 have writ- ten that they wil] come; and of these only twenty-three are located in -Illi- nois,, while’ there are fifty-two in this jurisdiction. So it is pretty evident that at least half, if not more, of all the Command- eries will attend. Applications for quarters .| have been made by between 12,000 and 15,000 people, and they are. still arriving, varyin; from 200 to 600-aday. No uneasiness need be felt as to accommodations. The local Committee is equal to the emergency, and will see that all who put themselves in their hands are well provided for. Of course, all cannot be taken care of at the hotels, as their capacity is limited. Probably not more than half the visitors can find shelter under their roofs, but just as comfortable places will be available elsewhere. . ‘The proposed camp on the lake shore will bea feature of the conclave. _ It is estimated that 2,200 tents at least will be pitched—not common tents, but 9x9 Captain’s, 14x14 hos- pital, ‘marquet, family compartment, and pavilion tents. They will be arranged in the shape of passion and Greek crosses, cir- cles, and triangles. ‘The entrances will face the east, and not Michigan avenue, so they will have the benefit of the morning sun and the afternoon shade, the,houses and trees on the west sheltering the camp atter 4'0’clock. ‘The grounds will be lighted with electric lamps, thus makin; those in the tents invisible from ‘the outside, though they can see through the canvas on account of the brilliancy of the lights. The black shadow cast by the electric light is the explanation of this. ‘The pitching of the tents in the manner mentioned will not in- terfere with the rays. The reflection will extend the whole length of the camp. Each tent will be provided with all the conven- iences,—washbowls, stools, cots, blankets, sheets, cte., but no towels. Those to be oc- cupied by Sir Knights and their wives will be pitched a ‘Tittle apart from’ the others. Military discipline will be maintained, one of the Grand Commanderies having charge each day. It is contemplated to have the- ladies receive calls, as on New-Year’s. __ AS TO THE PROCESSION, the music will be furnished by between 100 to 125 bands, some of them the best in the United States, and it is believed there willbe at Jeast 15,000 Sir Kniglits in line. While the rder is quasi-military, its members are not accustomed to long marches, and, to shorten up the route, it is proposed to, move in com- panies twenty-four abreast. To do this, the streets through which the procession is to pass will “have to be ‘cleared of vehicles and people,—a tremendous undertaking, it would seem, in view of what occurred on State street during the turn-out in honor of Gen. Grant. But there will be no one particular point of attraction as at the Palmer House, and as the route is long enough to permit 300,000 people to view the arade no interference with the column is, looked for. No drilling is to be permitted until the Whole line is in motion, and then, not until the head turns “homeward.” At that time any movement which willnot cause delay is permissible, and there will undoubt- edly be some fine evolutions, as all the crack Commanderies of the country and Canada are to take part. : Invitations have been sent to all the dis- tingw ished Sir Knights throughout the world, and there will bea large attendance of for- eigners, especially from Europe, quite a number having already returned acceptances. As a whole, the conclave will be the largest and grandest affair of the kind ever seen in the world. The one at Cleveland in 1877 was “elegant *—the best perhaps ever held up to that time; but those in the procession num- bered only 6,758, while the number who have already applied for accommodations next August is between 14,000 and 15,000, of whom at least 12,000 are Sir Knights. Although tho time for the receipt of applications expired on the 3d inst., all who come will be given attention to, and the Committee will do the best theycan. The question now is not of choice, but how to subserve the interests of the brethren by finding them guarters. But, as before stated, measures will be taken to provide for all who come. CANADA.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Montreat, Feb. 21—The Post, the leading Catholic organ, comes out against the parade on St. Patrick’s Day.. It says: “It is time processions were stopped, not only in New York, but in Montreal and the worid over. It does no good. It never did any good, but is harmful.” The Journal of Commerce, which may, on account of Sir Francis Hincks’ connection with it, be regarded as the official utterance of the defunct Consolidated Bank, says the two competing interests in a Western railway lately organized, each of which is anxious for a céntroll- ing power, have been outbidding each other recently for a large amount of stock held by the Consolidated Bank on account of former advances in Toronto, and the bank is likely to realize handsomely on property which they had placed among bad assets. A number of representatives of New En- gland and Canadian railroads are at present in town in connection with the proposed re- ‘duction on rates. The New England roads meeting in Boston and their Canadian con- nections are deterinined to arrange a general reduction, and the present meetings are for the purpose of ‘considering de- tails and constructing a new tariff. The representatives have been hold- ing conferences at the Windsor Hotel for the last two or three days, but their meet- ings are strictly private. Details will not be published until later on, and an adjournment to Boston to complete the arrangement will take place. Trains are still running regularly across the ice-bridge on the St. Lawrence, and since the opening over 200 cars of freight have been taken over. An outbreak of small-pox amongst the. horses in and around this city has taken place. A local veterinary surgeon has treat- ed over 100 cases within a forthight past, and has between twenty and thirty anifnals under treatment at present. A number of grooms have been inoculated with the disease from working with the animals. E ‘There were 829 horses, costing $23,920, pur- chased in this market during the present week and shipped to the States. This shows an inerease of 111 horses and $5,400 in amount over the preceding week. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.

Some are against. marching at all; and others are in favor of having the usual procession, and turning it into a famine demonstration, All are, however, united in the opinion that a grand entertainment should be given in aid of the relief fund, and_negotiations are now in progress with a celebrated lecturer to in- duce him to come here on that day. & The annual report of the Northern Railway of Canada goes into details of the amalgama- tion of the Hamilton & Northwestern with the Northern, and then deals with the finances of the two roads.

The report states that the period was one of great and universal de- pression, but the Directors regarded it as quite exceptional and temporary, and they were in a position to present a most satisfacto- ry report for the half-year ending the 3ist of December, 1879, showing a rapid and sub- stantial recovery of traffic, and largely in- creased earnings, as follows: Gross enraings of the combined system, $603,331; total work- ing expenses, being at the rate of 57.66 per pent, $347,988; net revenue for the half-year, $255,443, After making certain provisions, the net revenue available for dividends is 951,587, which has been carried over to the next half-year,—advances’ to the two com- panies having been made on account to the extent of their respective dividend liabilities upon all classes of their debentures.

James Lenox—A Career of Active Be- nevolence—Khe -Greatest Monument to His Memory. New York Tribune, Feb. 9. James Lenox, the well-known founder of the Lenox Library, and the benefactor of many worthy charities, died Tuesday even- ing, at his house, No. 53 Fifth avenue, in the 80th year of his age. He had been ill for about two months. He was attended by Dr. William H. Draper. ‘Mr. Lenox was an only son of Robert Lenox. Robert Lenox began business in New York in 1783, He was very successful as a_merchant, and inherited the prudence and sound judgment of his Scotch ancestors. Born in Scotland, he came first to Philadel- phia, and soon afterward to this city. He married a daughter of Nicholas Carmer, a vestryman of Trinity Church, and they had six children—Jamesand five daughters. Until the war of 1812 the business of Robert Lenox flourished. and he became very wealthy. ‘After this date he gradually withdrew from zellye: mmercaiitle, pursuits, ane devoted him- “To his. son, James Lenox, he left at his death in 1839 a farm of about thirty acres on Fourth and Fifth avenues, in the neighborhood of Seventy-second street. Mr. Lenox held this property until 1884, when it was divided into city lots. For forty years Mr. Lenox lived a retired life, devoting him- self to the collection of rare books and works of art. His benevolence has made him wide- ly known. His gifts to the Presbyterian Tfospital, the Philfpps Memorial Church, the Presbyterian Home for Aged Women, and to the Lenox Library have amounted over $2,000,000. He was_a_regular attendant at the Rev. Dr. W. M, Paxton’s Church, the First Presbyterian Church, at Fifth avenue and Eleventh street. ‘Mr. Lenox seemed to have an aversion to society, yet his conversation was pleasant and agreeable, and his politeness and easy, unassuming manners were marked charac- teristics. In 1830 Mr. Lenox was elected a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Four of his sisters married David Kennedy, James Donaldson, Mr. Banks, and Mr. Sheafe; one never married. _ Mr. Lenox used to spend the summer at Newport, but of Iate years he preferred to remain in New York. Robert Lenox Ken- nedy, a nephew of the dead man, said yester- day that, in accordance with the wish of Mr. Lenox, there would be no public funeral. The body, therefore, will be buried privately. Perhaps the most conspicuous act of Mr. Lenox was the founding and endowing: of the Lenox Library. ‘The building stands on Fifth avenue, facing.Central Park, and_oc- cuples the whole of the block between Sev- entieth and Seventy-first streets. By an act of the Legislature, passed in January, 1870, the government of the library was ‘vested trustees, among whom, in nine be- sides Mr. Lenox, were Hamilton Fish, ‘Alexander Van Rensselaer, the and 1e jate William H. Aspinwall. The site for the library is regarded as the finest for this pur- pose to be found in the southern or central part of the island. The building stands on solid rock, and is fire-proof. The materials used in its construction were brick, iron, an stone. The main building is ninety-five feet above the ground. ‘Thelibrary portion of the building consists of three floors in the main building and two stories in the w: above the basement. Its dimensions are ia feet deep by 200: front, containing four Spacious reading-rooms or libraries, a gallery for paintings and another for sculpture. The yalue of the ground and the cost of the edi- fice were more than $1,000,000. The collec- tions of manuscripts, books, engravings, and maps, statuary, paintings, drawings, and other works of art have no equal in the land. The works on early Amer- iean history, Biblical bibliography, and Elizabethan literature are especially note- worthy. In complete folio editions and in old Bibles, and in parts thereof, the collec- tion is superior to that of the British Muse- um. The library is endowed with a perma- nent fund of $250,000. The picture gallery contains nearly 150 pictures, mainly modern, by American and foreign artists. There are nineteen places of soulptur . ‘The library is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 11a, m. until 4 p. m. Benjamin Brandreth. New York Times, Feb. 10. Benjamin Brandreth, the proprietor of Brandreth’s pills, died suddenly at his resi- dence in Sing Sing yesterday morning, of 1 ‘Mr: Brandreth was born in England, where his father and grandfather before him had been engaged in the pill business in alimited way. Benjamin was the first of the family to conceive the idea of enlarging the busi- ness by the free use of printer’s ink. In 1835 Benjamin came to this country, and began manufacturing and advertising on a: scale that immediately attracted attention, He contracted'a friendship with James Gordon Bennett, who was_ then establishing the Herald, in the columns of which sheet Brandreth’s carthartic pills speedily grew into notoriety. Atthat time a column of ad- vertising could be had at the price of asin- gle square at the present day. From 1810 to 1855 the pills rapidly’ rose in fayor, great quantities being shipped tothe West and South. A large trade was also built up with South America and foreign countries. In the years immediate] preceding the War Brandreth’s bills for ade vertising reached as_high as $60,000 and $70,000a year. The English branch of the house, conducted by one of the sons, ex- pended as high as $40,000 annually for the same purpose, Brandreth’s success brought a host of competitors into the business, some of whom in the end made larger fortunes than himself. Since the War,{the firm large- ly decreased their advertising, and depended on the steady demand which their former ef- forts had created. Brandreth’s frst store was in Spruce street, where he remained for ten years, moving in 1845 to Hudson street, and from there to the present location at the corner of Canal street and Broadway, in 1852. Mr. Brandreth was twice eleeted to the State Senate, and his eldest son, the Hon. George A. Brandreth, has served four terms in the Assembly. Of his fourteen children, thirteen are still living. Mr. Brandreth married in England - before coming to this country. . His wife was a Miss Graham. In private life he was amiable, sociable, and despised show and ostentation of all kinds. He was frequently asked to contribute sketches of his life to advertising agents and writers of biographical puffs, but invariably refused. He was a vestryman and leading member of one of the Episcopal churolies of ene ong. Pie Brandreth’s estate is estimated at from $300,000 t $1,000,000, ae SUNSET, ‘The golden chariot of the God of Day Declines along the Western, azure steep, And, as it moves upon its downward way, Its mighty orb approaches to the deep.

Hay. den lectured in the Opera-House here to. night. The audience was small, owing tothe heavy storm. He was favorably received, and made a good impression. His subject was “Circumstantial Evidence.” His principal allusion to his own case was as follows: “I have thought it better to make very little al. lusion to my own personal experience in this matter of circumstantial evidence, but I should be making too great a sacrifice tomy sense of propriety if I did not speak, [ speak most warmly and tenderly of one inci- dent of that experience. I have children whose . welfare and honor -are very dear to my heart, and a wife whom I regard with not only a tender, but a worshiping affection. That wife knows me thoroughly. She knows not only what is best in me, but all that is weak andhuman, She knows that Iam innocent. When other hearts have quailed hers has not. When the storm broke heaviest, she only stood by me” the closer. There was nothing that she would not suffer for me, and nothing that she would not do for me, except to perjure herself to save me; with all her love she would not have done that. She loved me with all her heart, but she feared God more.” | “This wife, so true, so brave, so unvearied in her devotion, represents to me the devoted wives of other men who, in their innocence, have been accused of crime. ‘These children of mine represents to me the children of those innocent victims of the law and of its errors, and when I see what it would be to me to Iook from the scaffold upon the agony of such a wife and children as mine, and to have to think, at that last dreadful moment, of the inheritance of disgrace that I was leaving to them.—alas . the only inheritance,—I can realize something of the refined torture to which such unfortu- nate men are subjected, and something of what the hearts are, into which both the sense of wrong and the disgrace hayesunk, each in-, tensifying the other. And, though the inno- cence of the dead husband and father may be | discovered, no empt ; parade of honor to his memory can recal e agony of his last hours, nor the darkened years that have passed over his household. And remember in how many, many cases—the great majority beyond question— e vindicating truth never comes to light. Pardon this digression. 1 could not but yield to the pressure of ba feelings in the matter, even though called your attention more directly to my- self.” In closing, he said: “I leave the subject with you, hopeful that here and everywhere God’s great goodness and mercy may protect every one from undue suspicion or peril, and that, when every course isTun in mortal life, we may all, in a better world, guided by the wisdom of, the Supreme fndge, have that perfect, vision which shall help us to know our neighbors as ourselves. ‘Thus may be revealed in us the secret of ali motives, and no’ hidden put- pose. shall be undiseovered. Then we &| see and know, and in the midst of our sight and knowledge we can then understand tha mystery 0: tod working in all, and of the saving power which has given us all here faith and strength to bear burdens, thong we have many fimes been heavily laden.” LATE LOCAL ITEMS.
