But when the board of managers of the society at- tempted to complete their arrangements for the concert it was found that a suitable hall or theater could not be secured in the city for any date prior to June, and hence, although the society had already begun re- hearsing the work, a change of plans was necessitated. “Moses” is a work which cannot be produced without an orchestra, and as the society found that it would be impossible to secure an auditorium that would accommodate properly the members of the society and the orchestra on the stage, it was forced reluctantly to make a change in its plans. “Arminius” has been produced once be- fcre in this city by the Choral Society, dur- ing the season of 1800. It is a work of dramatic vigor, after the style of the Ger- man opera. It is believed that it will be vell appreciated by the music lovers of the city. A very pleasing incident of last nigh rehearsal of the society was the presence in the chorus of Mr. Eugene BE. Stevens, fermerly a most diligent worker in behalf of the society, but who severed his active connection with the chorus some two years ago upon his removai from the city. Mr. Stevens is again a resident of Washington, and last night received a most cordial wel- of come from his old associates. To fill the vRc i ney on the board of managers caused the resignation of Mr. Charles A. Lee, Stevens’ appointment was announced to the scciety last evening, and received with expressions of unanimous approval. ae Reception to Mr. Hobbs. Rev. G. W. Hobbs, ex-pastor of Trinit M. E. Church, since his transfer to Monro: Street Church, Baltimore, at the recent session of the Baltimore conference, was terdered a delightful surprise and recep- tion last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Enos R. Berkeley, 528 4th street scutheast. The spacious house was filled with a throng of the members of Trinity’s congregation, anxious to show their ap- preciation for the pastor's earnest efforts during the past year. After an hour of social intercourse sumptuous refreshments were served, and Mr. Hobbs, upon cs his te, found beneath it an envelope, i the gift of as many mem- bers of the congregation.

Eliza Harper, a government clerk, today sued the Metropolitan Railroad Company, claiming $10,000 damages.

A bill in equity has been filed by the Ver- mont Marble Company against Wm. W. Winfree and Geo. A. Sheahan, praying for the appointment of a receiver for a sum of about $19,000, received on a contract with the government for the erection of amuse- ment Hall on the Soldiers’ Home grounds. Mr. Winfree was the contractor, the com- plainant company furnishing the marble, and Mr. Sheahan being made a trustee to receive and distribute the money among creditors. It is claimed that the amount, said to be in the hands of Mr. Sheahan, will not suffice to satisfy all creditors, and the court is asked to require an accounding and a distribution pro rata. Attorneys Needham and Patton secured an order re- straining the distribution of the fund, pend- ing the hearing, the order being made re- turnable Friday next. nee If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

A meeting of the citizens of the District who are interested in the organization of the Hospital Aid Society, and who, through this means, desire to assist in establishing the Georgetown University Hospital, wil) be held in the parlors of the Arlington Hotel Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Justice Morris will preside over the meet- ing, which will be held under the immedi- ate direction of the building committee of the new hospital, of which Dr. Joseph Ta- ber Johneon is the chairman. It is the tn- tention of this committee to erect a hospital which will be not only a credit to the uni- versity with which it is associated, but to its patrons and the District of Columbia as well. It will be located at 35th and R streets and will supply the demands of a section of the city hitherto totally unpro- vided with facilities for alleviating suffer- ing. The ideal hospital is that which ‘s connected with the medical department of some great university, where the faculty of the one are the attending physicians at the cther, and this will be precisely the state of affairs with this new institution. The graduates and students of the medical department of Georgetown University are taking a pardonable pride in the pre. and are giving it their moral and financ support. Besides a great number of citizens of Washington, and particularls those of Georgetown, are interested in the new edifice, and when completed it will stand as a monument to their judement and Public spirit, The new hospital will be ab- solutely non-sectarian, rough conda under the university ausp and al! cl es and cond!ions of patients will be re- no matter to what race or creed png. A number of well own tend the meeting Thursday at the Arlington, and it is proposed to put the new project on a firm footing and rt it on its course. —— > THE OLD QUICKLY.

His Accounts ax Treasurer Were Short Nearly Five Thousand Dollars, The statement was published some time ago that Mr. Robert H. Martin had resign- ed his position as treasurer of the Colum- bian University and that his resignation had been accepted. The announcement was made last evening that Mr. Martin had resigned under duress, owing to an irregu- larity in his accounts. The shortage 1s something less than $5,000. The announce- ment made by President Whitman last evening was as follows: “On February 19 Mr. Robert H. Martin, who for five years and a half has been financial agent and secretary and treasurer of the university, was asked for his resig- ration, which on that day was tendered, to take effect March 31. This step was taken because it was belleved that the general interests of the university would be | promoted thereby. No one supposed that there was any irregularity in Mr. Martin’s accounts. Upon examination, however, a shortage of $4.40 was discovered. The en- tire amount of this shortage has been cov- ered, so that the university will lose noth- ing. At the February meeting of the directors of the university Mr. Martin confessed to a shortags of $4840 in his accounts, tendered bis resignation to take March 31.
