Success of the Concert Last Evening— Convention Hall Crowded—Excep- tional Merit of the Soloists. Last night’s scene at Convention Hall was one that will not be soon forgotten, Four thousand and more people paid their | way into the large hall to listen to the! singing of nearly 1,500 others. The tre- mendous religious revival that has spread in increasing waves over the city with the late Moody meetings as its center was clearly demonstrated by the fact that so many hundreds of busy men and women should willingly and gladly give their serv- ices, and so many thousands pay their money to produce and listen to the sing- | ing of sacred music. | At last night’s concert given by the choir, under the direction of its leader, Mr. Percy Foster, the same spirit of enthusiasm was | shown as in the revival meetings, and the soul-stirring strains of the good old songs rolled out over the big hall until the hearts — of the listeners were carried by storm. Probably the city has never listened to a/ musical program containing more diversi-| fled elements of merit than the one pre-| serted last night, and that it was thorough- ly appreciated was shown by the en-) thusiasm of the applause. Besides the | immense choir of nearly fifteen hun- dred voices, vocal and instrumental solos were interspersed, and these | were rende:ed by several of the leading | amateurs of the city. In view of the fre- quency of the encores, the program was found to be somewhat too long, and only | a Verse or so were sung of several of the | choral numbers. Nearly all of the selec-| tions by the chorus were familiar to the! attendants of the Moody meetings, and) were not even rendered with greater fervor | and sweetness during that time of re- ligious upheaval. Mr. Percy Foster again | wielded the baton as leader, and the! thousand and more voices responded glori- ously to his will. The opening numbe> was “America,” and the refrain was taken up by the chorus and by audience. Then fol-| lowed in rapid selettion the array of sacred | pieces, among them being the familiar “Hallelujah for the Cross,” ‘Throw Out | the Life Line,” Welcome, Wanderer,” and many others, ‘ The Soloists. ‘The solo numbers were remarkable for their. excellence. The vocalists were Miss Derothy Byrde Rogers, Mr. F. H. Jacobs and Mr. Herndon Morsell, while the instru- | nentalists were Miss Rosa Adelaide Mar- | quis, Mr. Edwin S. Tracy and Mr. Elphonzo | Youngs. Mrs. Alice Kimball, Miss Bailey and Mrs. Burns were the accompanists. The cornet solo, “The Lost Chord,” by | Mr. Youngs, was the first solo on the pro- | gram, and the clear notes from his instru- ment penetrated every nook and brought | | enthusiastic applause. Mr. Morsell’s tenor | solo foliowed, and his voice was heard to |gcod advantage. The “Cavatina” from | Ernani was the selection chosen by Miss | Rogers, and seldom have the rich, vel qualities of her voice been better displayed. To fill the immense space of Convention Hall a soprano voice must possess more | than sweetness—it must possess extended | volume and clearness. That Miss Rogers’ voice has all these requisites was cleurly enough shown by her success last night. In answer to the extended applause she sang “Answered.” Mr. F. H. Jacobs of Chicago is judged to be the natural successor of Mr. Sankey as | the exponent of sacred music. He possesses |in a remarkable degree the ability to throw | himself into his music and feel the ideas expressed. His rich baritone voice was lis- tened to eagerly last night. | Mr. Edwin S. Tracy followed Mr. Jacobs | in a well-rendered cornet solo, and the clos- ing number was a beautifully executed vio- |lin'solo by Miss Marquis. A pleasant feature of the evening was the announcement, by Mr. Foster, of the prob- able repetition of the concert for the benefit of Mr. Moody's schools at Northfield and at Chicago. Such a plan, Mr. Foster said, had rot been broached to Mr. Moody, but was the desire here to do something for these institutions, wnich were so near to the heart of the great revivalist. The en- couragement given Mr. Foster by the au- dience last night will probably result in the concert beimg given at some early date. a LYNCHING THREATENED. A Strong Guard Needed to Protect Negro Criminals, A special dispatch to The Evening star | from Petersburg, says the trial of Andrew Lee Davenport, a negro charged with en- tering in the night time the dwell- | ing house of Thomas Cann, a prominent | citizen of Nottoway county, and shooting him after robbing his house, was begun in the county court of Nottoway yester- day afternoon. The trial was concluded this morning. The jury found the accused teen years in the penitentiary. | Another negro named John Orange, who iy charged with having been implicated | in the shooting and robbing of Mr. was arraigned for trial to: now in progress. The feeling against the two negroes is very bitter, and, as threats | had been made of lynching, a strong armed | guard was kept at the jail last night. It 1s thought Orange will get the same ver- dict as was given Davenport. oo THE BRITISH. | Cann, The trial is ANNEXED BY Pondoland, in South Africa, Acquired | Without a Contest. 1 «| The annexation of Pondoland in South | Africa has been effected without firing a shot by the British. The chiefs and people are quietly submit- ting. The country ts described as being one of the most delightful regions in the world, though it has been the scene of consider- ‘able lawlessness and many fierce tribal fights. | Pondoland hav an area of about 3,000 | square miles and a native population of about 200,000. s0- AGAINST THE EMPLOYES. Long Expected Decision of Judge Jenkins on Strikers’ Rights. The long looked for decision by Judge Jen- | kins on the motion made by the chiefs of ¢he | great railway organizations for a modifica- tion of his famous Northern Pacific strike order was rendered yesterdav,at Milwaukee, The motion was practically to bring to a direct issue the right of a court to restrain employes from striking. The decision is virtually a defeat for the employes. ' clety. | announcement is made there will be eno There has been plenty going on in a so- cial way the past week, although there now begin to be lapses in entertaining that be- token the waning of the spring season. All agree that it was phenomenally interesting while it lasted, and good things are ordi- narily short lived. Dinners have been a feature of the past week. The teas and evening receptions for that very handsome body of women, the Colonial Dames, occu- | pied every hour of their stay that was not taken up with the deliberations of the so- The council met in the ball room a Wormley’s. The members for the mos | part, instead of fastening on their badge in the ordinary way, wore them suspende from broad blue and white ribbons around their necks, as foreign ministers wear their decorations, and it added to the aristocratic bearing of each. Mrs. and Miss Cropper threw open their beautiful colonial home to the grand dames, the only other guests be- ing the members of the local society, And it is safe to say that every lady who did not have just such surroundings wishes more than ever she could have a home so charmingly suggestive of the “olden days.” Mrs. Welling’s tea on Thursday was at an old-fashioned hour—§ o’clock—and that seemed in perfect harmony with the memo- ries the society revives also. Mrs. Howard Townsend of New York, who is the regent of the Mount Vernon Association, was elected national president of the Colonial Dames, and therefore has more honors than usually come to one woman, The third birthday tea given by the Wash- ington Club attracted nearly every member yesterday afternoon to the club rooms. The Colonial Dames were there in full force.The invitations included the husbands of the members, but judging from the few who came the call was not enthusiastically re- ceived. There seems to be a general unan- imity of opinion that it is best to let the ladies have it all their own way. Of course there was tea, poured by that most charm- ing of women and most enthusiastic of club members, Mrs. Hawley, but there was also entertainment provided, for there was singing and other sorts of music and a pa- per read, Miss Hattie Blaine will be given a series of dinners the coming week by Mrs. John R. McLean, Mrs. Hitt and Mrs. Hale. Miss Blaine is now beginning to accept invita- tions to the houses of her friends, and is therefore constantly seen in society. Her marriage to Mr. Truxton Beale will take place before the gay world scatters for the early summer travels, and the preparations are now going on to that end. The Brazilian minister and Mrs. Mendon- ca will give a dinner to Sir Julian and Lady Pauncefote on Wednesday next. Mrs. Will Gordon of Savannah, Ga., who is Colonial Dames, was here the past week. Mrs. Gordon has the distinction of being the first white child born in Chicayzo, and is a handsome and most attractive lady. The front windows of Senator Wolcott’s residence on Connecticut avenue are small orange groves in their way. All winter each window has been filled with small orange plants, each weighed down with tiny mandarins, and presenting a most ap- petizing picture to every passerby. Representative and Mrs. Bellamy Storer have been away on a visit to Cincinnati. Senator and Mrs, Stewart entertained at dinner last night the Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson, Senator and Mrs. Call, the Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero, Mrs. Calvin S. Brice, Mr. Tavera Mr and Mrs. White and Mr. T. Sanfore Beatty. The Guatemalan ministe> aud Mrs. Lazo Arriaga will give a dinner on Monday and another on that day week Mrs. Richardson will give a reception to- night at her residence on I street.

Secretary and Mrs. Lamont are now cn their way home to this city. Mrs, Lamont, sr,, has been staying here during their ab- sence, with the children. In the presence of a large and representa- y | tive gathering of the weaith, beauty and fashion of Baltimore society, Miss Marie Stirling, second daughter of Commander and Mrs. Yates Stirling of this city, was married today to Mr. J. Lee son of one of New York's miilionaires. The wedding took place at Brown. Memorial Presbyterian Church, and was solemnized by Rev. Dr. Maltbie D, Babcock, pastor. The bride is a true southern beauty, slight- ly above medium height, with a superb fig- ure and a profusion of golden hair. She en- tered the church hanging on the arm of her father and attended by her elder sister, Miss Helen Surling, as maid of honor, and Miss May Handy, the belle of Ricnmond, as bridesmaid. The ushers were Messrs. Har- ry and Yates Pennington, cousins of the bride; James B. Tailer, cousin of the groom; Morton J. Henry of Philadelphia; Rowan Baldwin and David Wetherspoon of New York. The wedding was after the English style, the groom and his best man, Mr. J. Clinton Spencer, of New York, his cousin, receiving the bride at the chancel. The bride was gowned in an elaborate costume of ivory white satin, the corsage trimmed with deep point lace. Her ornaments were diamonds, and surmounting her forehead was a diamond crescent, the gift of the groom. The maid of honor and bridesmaid wore white silk, with waist and overskirt of accordion-plaited mulle, trimmed with pale blue watered ribbon, end hais of white, rough straw, trimmed with rose leaves and ribbon to match the waists of their dresses, and carried bunches of American beauty roses. kind permission of Sir Julian and Lady ote, Mr. Aptommas will give a ell performance Saturday afternoon, 14, at 4 o'clock, at the British embas- previous to his departure for the London son.

Strenuous efforts have been made from time to time to find- the parties in whose favor they are drawn, but with only indifferent success, and the question cf their final disposition has now become @ matter for serious con- sideration. “Many of the vouchers for which these checks were drawn from July 1, 1878, to March 6, 1883, were transmitted to the first auditor of the treasusy with the accounts of the Commissioners for that period, and credit claimed therefor, but, not being re- ceipted, were disallowed, thereby making differences in the accounts, while in other cases since March 6, 1883, both vouchers and checks are retained in this office, but the vovehers being unreceipted, credit can- not be claimed, and the sums represented | thereby appear balances due to the | United States. The money to meet these checks is on deposit with the treasurer of the United States, and credited upon the books of his office to the several boards of Commissioners. “It is very desirable that these accounts should be closed, as they are a source of annoyance both to the accounting cfficers of the treasury and of the District, and I suggest as a mode of settlement that the checks in question be canceled, an account rendered, of which they shall constitute the voucherg, warrants issued for the amounts that may be found due, ferring the money tn the hands of tregsurer to the various — thereto, with perso: credit to the Commissioners, and from — tions thus credfted to the surplus and the general fund of the District of Co- lumbia, respectively, in equal parts. “I have the honor to request that this letter be referred to the first controller for his action, in order that the plan herein outlined, or some othe> that will accomplish thé desired end, may be adopted.” —>—— CREATED A SCENE. President at Once. There was excitement at the main en- trance of the White House for a short time Wednesday afternoon due to the conduct of @ half-crazed woman. She came to the | house In a carriage with two men, one of whom was her husband. They apparently did not realize that she was out of her head until she alighted from the carriage and tried to push her way past Doorkeeper El- lis Imto the interior of the mansion. Mr, Ellis was compelled to take her by the arm to detain her, whereupon she became very much excited and insisted upon seeing the President at once, She exclaimed that the flag over the house was at half-mast, that something had happened to the President's family and that it was necessary for her to see him without delay. It then dawned on her companions that she was not respon. sible for her conduct, and, with the assist. ance of Officer Ellis, they finally succeeded with some little trouble in getting her back into the carriage and taking her away. The woman was well-dressed and evidently re- spectable. She is said to be @ resident of South Washington. Her husband said her conduct was inexplicable to him as he had never known her to be so violent before, She had exvressed a desire to visit the White House and they thought it best to humor her. Her determination to see the | President must have been a sudden impulse due to the hallucination that the flag was half-masted. The husband promised to take her home and keep her out of further mis. chief, so the party was allowed to depart in peace. The woman had a narrow escape from arrest, however, as the doorkeepsr was about to summon the patrol wagon just before she was tak: Tent : en away by her Legion of Loyal Women, The Legion of Loyal Women were at home last evening and the headquarters, at 419 10th street northwest,were crowded with friends of the ladies.
