AMUSEMENTS, Beethoven Cen jal Celebration by the Philnarmonic Society. A special concert was given atthe Academy of Musio last night by this well known musical organ- {zation in honor of the centennial anniversary of the birth of the moat remarkable and one of the greatest musical composers that ever existed, On December 1%, 1770, Ludwig von Bee- thoven first saw the light, at Honn, No man probably ver exercised such @ widespread influence on music as he, and his works will remain for all ages as imperishable monuments of @ geulus which burst away like a resistless torrent from the trammels of schools and precedents, It was fitting that last evening the metropolis of Amo- rica should join hands with the entire world in do- ing honor to his memory. The programme was only Jqulty in its extreme length, comprising three grand works:—The Seventh Symphony in A, opus 92, the colossal E flat piano concerto, the poem and music of “Egmont,” with the grand scena and aria from “Fidelio.” The performance of the symphony was of that high standard of excellence that showed a trae appreciation of the work and occasion on the part of the orchestra. The first movement, “Poco Sos tenuto Vivace,” and the sparkiing “Scherzo” were given in a style which brought out their inestimable treasures in the most favoravle ligut. Mme, Louise Lichtmay was the vocalist on the occaston, and did net falda! the expectations formed of her. The merits of her singing consisted of a broad, earnest, dramatic school, which has a certain atr of grandear about it suficient to attract atteation and commana respect. I defects are a meinilic, clarinet uality Of voice, With & want oF decision in attack. ‘The constant use of the portamento gives tle idea of attempting vo climb up to the piteh of the orchestra and the volee does not always succeed in it. Ifthe uudowbdted power which Mme. Lichomay esses Were relieved by @ littie delicacy and soit. ness of expression it woula be a much-needed in provement. Mr. George Vandeulo® read the ee poem with all the conception of a true artist, ‘The concerto 1s a trying work in every sense of the word for ® pianist, apa although Miss Mare ty in ber rendition displayed powers of a remarkable kind, yet it Was rather too onerous @ task jor __ her, First of all, wt ois of undue length and of iliimitable variety of expres- siou. The piano 18 not, strictly speaking, treated asasolo mmstrument, but used as a color to the orchesira in bony places, and in others it fits like a humming bird aid tse orchestral garden, touching each inalvid insirument with bright flashes of melody and harwony. There is a resiless spirit im the entire plano score Which tasks the uimost ower of the plauist.

Bloody Stabbing Affray-A Man Cut to Pieces, Full Partioulars of the Affray—Scene in the Station House and Statement of the Prisoner. Just before midnight a man was found by the Police of the Seveuth precinct at the corner of Mon- roe and Market streets, in front of a drug store, Who was literally covered with wounds and blood. He was supported by a group of three youngsters, and was apparently in adying condition. He was at once conveyed to the station house in Madison strect, carried to a rear room and placed on awooden settee. Dr. Wyckotf was then senttor, and Captain Warlow began to question the wounded man, He gave his name as Timothy Dris- coll, and bystanders among the crowd usuaity fol- lowlug the police in such a case state! that he re- sided in Cork row, between Montgomery and Gouver- neur streets, The boys stated that they had found him lying tn front of A SAILORS? DIVE OR ROCKET sHoP kept by Dick Welch, at 132 Cherry street. In the confusion incident upon his arrival at the sta- tlon house Driscoll mentioned the name of “Keer,” but @ moment after, imitating the reticence of the youngster who was killed a short time ago in the Sixth ward, he would not give the name of the man Who had assaulted him, saying “L WON'T GIVE ANY ONE AWAY,” At this thne he was lying upon his back on the bench, with a folded coat for a piliow, and the spit- toon near by was covered with clotted blood, while the floor was stained with red blotches and spots of gore. His shirt was of a uniform dark red color, being soaked with blood, and torn open in front, revealing a small hole in the right breast, from which A DARK RED STREAM WAS TRICK One of bis ears was full of blood and his forehead was saturated by tts crimson Mow. He was a smooth-faced man, of twenty years of age, and re« puted a hard character, He gave his occupation as that of a pressman in an oll manufactory. Dr. Wyckoff soon arrived and proceeded to examine the wounds, The man was found to have been stabbed in fifteen places, and the doctor, as be examined the wounds, asked how they were received. In re- ply the man sald, ina rough attempt at reticence and cunning, “I FELL DOWN ON THE PAVEMENT and hurt myself.” The doctor probed a wound in the right breast, which he found to be three and @ haif inches deep, and, as the man winced, asked, “What struck you here?’ The man tried to put him away, and said, “HOW IN TIL po I “You have a deep wound here, “Yes, I've gota good many of them.’ “Well, this one is in the lung.” “Yes, I know it is; but I've got deeper ones.” The man was now lifted to a sitting P tion, the blood trickling down in a darker rivu- jet ‘rom the breast, while a bag containing lint and adhesive plaster was brought from the store room and his wounds were rapidly bound up. ‘the doc- tor probed a deep wound in the shoulder and sald, “That was a long curb stone went in there.” “Yes, and a pretty sharp one, too.” The most serious wouuds were the one in the breast and A FRIGHTFUL GASH I) HEAD, an inch and @ hatt in lengtn. ‘The arteries were tied and the man was, at t o’el this morning, sent to Bellevue Hospital. ARREST OF KEEP.

He appeared repentant of bis crime, but felgned a degree of nonchalance on being interrogated which showed that he did not fully realize tho magaitude of his oifence. [He said he had been play ing cards, and that Driscoil began to cheat, where- upon ® quarrel ensued between the prisoner and the latter, in which Driscoll said to Keetl, “You son of @ b—h, T want this fifty cent stamp.” He (the prisoner) then grabbed at Tfty cents wich Driscoil held io his hand. The stamp was TORN IN THE STRUGGLE, Driscoll holding half, and Keeif the otter, Driscoll then aitacked the prisouer, and Keeil ran away aud sougnt shelier in the saloon 152 Cherry street. In runing away some men got hold of nit and asked tum why he ran away. Driscoll overtook hin, and Searing. from those who held him, he wd in an entry. Driscoll passed by the entry and did not find him. The prisouer went back to Waish’s saioon ant found Driscoll there again, Wishing to make up friendship with him he said, “HOW DO YOU DO, DRISZOLLY? upon which Driscoll struck him #vice and knocked him down, When the prisoner got up after his fatl hie ran away again, but was folowed by Driscoll and overtaken.
