Toe “MESSIAH” at STEINWAY HALL,—Handel's | master work was given last night at Steinway | Hall by the Oratorio Society of New York, com- bined with the Brooklyn Handei and Huydu So- ciety. The chorus numbered about three hundred Voices, and there Was an orchestra o| memoers ol | the Poilharmonic Society num»ering about eighty. | Toe hail was crowded to ite utmost limits. Dr. Leopoid Damrosch conducted on the occasion and tue soloists were Miss Avbie Whiunery, soprano; Miss Anoa Drasdil, contralto; Mr. George Simp- son, tenor, and Mr. A. E, Stoddard, bass. Mr. S. | P. Warren played the organ accompaniment. The | Periormance, as iar as the chorus was concerned, | Was admirable, and reflected much credit on the | eminent conductor, who nas supplied a want 80 long keenly felt in this city—the organization ofan eMicient oratorio society.

Again there has been an alarm iu regard toa suspected Charley Roas; and this time the child Was supposed to be in an out of the way spotin New Jersey, which had not hitherto been searched by the police, Information reacbed Superintend- ent Walling some days since to the effect thata child of jour or five years had been observed with & strange looking couple in the vicinity of Morris- town, N. J.; and it was further stated that the boy did not in apy way resemble the man and woman with whom he was seen in company, the latter being evidently in the lower class of iife and rather flliterave and coarse looking In their personal ‘ appearance, It was said that the man and woman kept the child concealed in @ barn io the outskirts of Morristown, and at & distance 0: about a mile from that place, and it was ulso added tnat the people who had this anknown and intelligent looking cnild had been permitted to live in the barn by the toleration of the family to wnom It belonged. Superintendent Walling telegraphed to te town authorities to hold the man, Woman and boy until a detective officer could be sent | trom Police Heaaquarters to see if the child could be identified. The constaoles arrested the man and woman and took the boy to the town hall to await the arrival of the officer, Superintendent Wallog accord. ingly detailed Detective McDougall to go to Morristown, where be arrived on Saturday, and, visiting the town hall, saw the child. He proved to be asmart, good looking boy of about the proper age, dressed ina dark velveteen suit, and answered all questions with promptness. But it was the same old story as nas had to be told before on so many wild goose chases. This child had biue eyes, fair skin and lignt brown hatr, ana 1t is well known that Charley Ross had eyes of a hazel or light brown color.
