THE GALLERY OF DEDHAM CHURCH SETTLES DURING A WEDDING CEREMONIAL. Boston, Oct. 22, 1875. Fortunately Dedham was spared being the scene of a | Holyoke holocaust last evening, but only by a hair's | breadth, The galleries of the orthodox church wero | crowded with human beings to witness a wedding, and | just as the services were to begin all in the east gallery | leaned forward to got a better view of the performance, when the gallery settled some three or four inches with a crack. Quick as thought the spectators settled back and saved a terrible disaster. When the church was altered a few years sinoo the old supports were taken out and new fangled tron braces | put in their place, which leaves a very long stretch of | gallery without any extra support, Tho building i lighted by gas jets running along the fronts of the gal- | leries, and had there been a break fire as well as crush- | ing must have ensued, and the result would have been | terribie to contemplate. The trustees have now had ample warning, and in the future, should any accident _ happen through their neglect to ‘properly strengthen the weak places, a fearful responsibility will rest apon | their heads, \ This Dedham scare is not unlike one which took place in the Western Union Telegraph office, in Boston, a fow | days since. The roof of the building suddenly settled, | and the operators and other occupants of the building | rushed into the street in great wiarm, all of them ex- pecting to see the five-story structure tumble down into | one conglomerated mass, The circumstance was by some means reported to the city authorities and an in- spector came to examine the building. tative officials .of the company undertook to prevent | sich an examination, but it was made, nevertheless, and | the result was that orders were issued for the immediate | strengthening of the fragile building and also the eroo- | tion of fire escapes.

President Grant’s Attitude on the Cuban Question. SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATION OF WAR VESSELS Probable Changes in the Interior Department. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ——- Wasmrvaton, Oct 22, 1875, In connection with the rumor so freely circulated lately that General Grant intends a vigorous policy with reference to the belligerent rights to the Cubans, the quiet and formidable concentration of 80 «many men-of-war on the North Atlantic Station is exciting keen comment. Tho fleet now comprises the following vessels:—Woreester, flagship; Plymouth, Canandaigua (ordored out of commission, but can be ready for sea again in two weeks), at Nor- folk; Ossipeo, Shawmut, Pinta—all wooden ships, and the following irorclads, all of which can bo sent to sea | in twenty-four hours:—Dietator, Canonicus (both in commission and ready for sea), Mahopac, Manhattan and Saugus in commission at Pensacola, In addition to these the Vandalia, Adams, Alliance, Ranger, | Huron, Essex, Enterprise and Marion are fitting for | sea aud will be ready in a short time, Allof these will be attached to the North Atlantic station, except the latter, which will go to the European squadron, But | on her arrival both the Congress and Juniata will re turn home and join the North Atlantic. The Montauk, tron-clad, {s at Norfolk, and can be sent to sea in a week. The Powhatan is available, as are also the Swatara, Alert, Gettysburg, Tallapoosa, Dispatch and the Fortune, Nina, Speedwell and Triana—the last four being of the same class as the unfortunate Polaris, which was formerly the Mayflower, and each | carry two guns. The Miantonomoh, four guns, which | was the monitor sent to Russia in 1867, under command of the present Commodore John C. Beaumont, is nearly completed at Chester and can be eent to sea m six weeks in an emergency. Besides all these it is shrewdly suspected that the placing of the Wabash at Boston and the Colorado at New York as receiving ships, and the Min- nesota as flagship to Vice Admiral Rowan at New York, is a plan to have these huge vessels ready for somo outbreak, for it 4s well known that they are so officered and fitted as to be able to go to sea at a day's notice. The new sloop of war Trenton, of 2,300 tons and carrying seventeen guns, will be ready in about four months, and the Hartford has just arrtved at New York from the Asiatic fleet. Prominent officers have carefully considered these points, and soveral confidently assert that an im- portant movement in Cuban affairs will take place at an early day after the assembling of Congress. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT PREPARING FOR THE NEW INCUMBENT—COMMISSIONER SMITH TO RETIRE—THE ONE HONEST CONTRACTOR. | A particular friend of Mr. Delano and the adminis- tration said to-day that Commissioner Smith would surely go out, Great activity prevails in the Indian Department among the officials and tue contractors who are in town. The books are being put in order and eonfdential clerks and trusty messengers flit to and fro between the Commissioner’s room and the various offices with their arms full of vouchers | and other documents. The contrast betwoen tho | present hurry and bustle and the ordinary routine of the department 1s most marked. Bosler, the contractor, visited the Commissionor and | received distinguished attention from the reverend gentleman. He introduced him to Friend Roberts, of | | the Indian Commission, saying, “Mr. Roberts, this is the only man who has been found wo be entirely cor- rect in his accounts and manner of doing business, He has proved himself an honest man in every particular.” Mr. Bosler received the compliment with bows and smiles, but said that he had received a pretty hard rub, Commissioner Smith then asked Roberts to sign certain vouchers for Contractor Bosler which were waiting his official approval. Roberts had an excuse and wanted to wait until the afternoon. Bosler demurred, and the Commissioner came to his rescue, saying that if they “were signed they could be hurried through the routine of the department, so that Bosler conld get his money at the Treasury. Smith will present Indian reform statistics at the meeting of the Orthodox Friends in Baltimore next week. | GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. | Wasnincton, Oct, 22, 1875, GOVERNOR AMES ON THE PEACEFUL SITUATION IN MISSISSIPPI. Governor Ames has written a letter to the Attorney General alluding to the pacific relations of the opposing political organizations in Mississippi, and expressing sincere gratitude to tho representative of the Attorney General, now in that State, who has brought about this condition of things, and, as the Governor says, “in- sured a peaceful campaign and a fair election.” THE TAXATION ON WEISS BEER—DECISON OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Tho Commissioner of Internal Revenuc has decided that weiss beer 1s a similar fermented liquor to ale, por- | ter and lager beer, and subject to a tax of $1 per barrol of thirty.one gallons, This question has been tho subject of considerable correspondence between the | department and weiss beer manufacturers, and their claims to exemption from tax have been fully argued.

ARRESTED. THE NOTORIOUS BEN BOYD IN CUSTODY—RAID ON A COUNTERFEITING FACTORY AND ARREST OF THE OPERATORS—PLATES AND BOGUS MONEY CAPTURED, Wastincton, Oct. 22, 1875. The most notorious engraver of counterfoit plates known in the business, Tom Ballard not excepted, has been arrested by the Secret Service force of the Treasury Department. The name of the criminal is Ben Boyd, well known in detective circles, and for | whom unsuccessful search has been mado for the past ten years, He was arrested at Fulton, Il, a sinail | town on the Mississippi River, while in the act of engraving a plate In the room he oceupied were found a $20, a $100 and a $1,000 plate partly completed. The fact of his arrest was telegraphed to Colonel Washburne, at Centralia, where he, with three detoctives of the service, made a raid on THE COUNTERFRITING FACTORY, | which was situated in the residence portion of the | town. Just before the detectives reached the house, Nelson Driggs, the proprictor of the factory (a man who has circulated’ over $1,000,000 of counterieit. money | within the last ten years), and Charley Stadtfeldt, his partner, made their escape, but were pursued eight miles on horseback by Colonel Washburne and two detectives, and finally captured in a piece of timber after hav- ing been fired at several times, In the house occupied by Driggs the detectives found the press, plates, material and a large amount of counterfeit na- ional bank notes and ourrency recently printed. They also arrested Stadtfeldt and the father, mother and wile | of Driggs. The engraver, Boyd, 1s the man who cut | the counterfeit plate of the Traders’ National Bank, of | Chicago, which has been within a month charged’ to | that of the Aurora National Bank, of Aurora, fl, A considerable number of notes printed from it are now in circulation, seven persons having been arrested within a week’ for passing them, Ricuwonn, Va., Oct 22, 1875. ‘The case of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad was callea to-day in the United States Circuit Court, Judge Bond presiding.

Bostox, Oot, 22, 1875, Hans Von Bilow appeared for the third time at the Boston Music Hall this evening. The works selected by him for the occasion were the Fourth Concerto, opus 68, in @ major, of Beetifeven; the First Concerto in E flat of Liszt, and three preludes and fugues, iNustrations of the widely different styles of Bach, Mendelssohn and Rafi, The Beethoven concerto placed the pianist in a better light than did its brother work, the one in E flat, on Monday evening, The Fourth Concerto opens with a brief theme for the piano, in five measures, which is followed by the orchestra in B major, modulating afterwards into G. Beethoven in this work indulges in strange phrases, and introdutes unlooked for episodes at every turn, The subjects which are subsequently enriched with all the embroidery and effect that the piano is capable of, are first introduced by the orebestra, ‘The clear, robust style of playing char- acteristic of Yon Bilow, and the distinctness of his phrasing, gave an interpretation of tho first movement of the concerto that was intelligible to every musician present, Considering the intricate and kaleidoscopic character of the movement the pianist deserves high praise for such aresult, The double trills for the night hand wero given with unfailing precision, and the chroinatic pas- Sages, with the staccato measures in tho bass, stood out in bold rehef, The cadences, which were {ntroduced in two different parts of the movement, and which are the work of the pianist, aro entirely in accord with the spirit of the movement. Thoy are short and vo tho purpose. There is not tho slightest attempt at virtuoso display, but a very ingenious and artistic de- velopment of the ideas of the composer. A develop- ment of Beothoven’s ideas may appear an {mpossi- bility; but in this instance, without intruding his own individuality, Von Btlow managed to condense the many subjects of tho first movement of this grand work, and to present them asa summary ofthe sublime thoughts that gave being to tho work, In this instance he was more s.ccessful than Rubinstein who wrote cadences for another concerto of Boethoven, which, although clever and original, were ‘anything bnt consonant to the subject, Rubinstein’s cadences might be called a Rubinstein concert, for they are stamped with the impress of individuality and bear no resemblance to Beethoven. ‘The secona movement, andarite con moto, is a work of | Inspiration, * There are violent contrasts between the | orchestral’ and plano parts. The declamatory nature of the orchestral passages serves a8 a foil to the prayerful utterances of the plano. Von Rilow failed to give the —destred expression to the passages for the piano in this move- ment, In the succeeding rondo, a most wonderful speci- mon of piano writing, his disciplined method was shown to advantage. Every phrase was photographed with fidelity. The ehiaro-osew movemont suffered not in the interpretation. It was as perfect in detail as a Meissonier painting. In his interpretation of Beethoven, Von Bilow may lay too iuoh stress on aecentuation’ where a little treedom of touch and tempo would be desirable, but no one cau find fault with his accuracy. No metronome, or conduc- tor’s baton, can be more precise than this Prussian Pianist's, “Exactness and precision, however, do not make up all the qualities necessary for a great Beetho- | ven player. The Colossus of ‘music did not write according to measure, His works, to be Interpreted properly, ‘require deep ‘nnd Tong research, Von has not yet explored their inmost recexses, where the pare gold lies in heaps to reward the finder.’ A perfect interpreter of Beethoven must have some of the divine air and must commune with the spirit of the greatest of composers. Such a being has not yet been found and we can only take — what is given to us until the desired interpreter $s found Von Balow certainly gives an intelligent read- ing of Beothoven, tnlocks the door to many mysteries which have heretofore existed. But he ouly inereases the desire of the hearer to know more of these sublime ‘*works, to penetrate further into those inexhaustible mines that comprise all that is worth knowing in music, Ihave heard Beethoven played correctly, too, in regard to technique, by ptanists of eminence, andthe audience seemed’ to be bored and many de- claimed against such dull music, Beethoven is either charm or a bore, No greater compliment can be paid to a pianist of the present day than to be able to assert that Von Bilow presented the @ major concerto in such a light that those present wero cbarmed and interested, and that he revived, even in | the Boston mind, a love’ for the great inaster. | Itisa mistake to think that the average Bostonian js a clas- He or she is as democratic as the voriest New Yorker; but a few assume classical airs and talk wildly about authors, confounding Mendels- sohn with Glick, Wagner with Mozart, Hans Yon Biilow will do a great service if he succeeds in sending them back to their musical catechisms, and in- stilling in their minds a true love for Beethoven, The Liste concerto, a stormy, vigorous, effective = work, | was entirely congenial to Bilow's nature. His interpretation of it was superb. The short theme of seven notes which clndes by praying that General W. ©.

The Stato also claimed a forfeiture of the road to the Stato by reason of the non-completion of the road as prescribed by Jaw, and asked for the appointment of Mr. Isaac H. Carrington as receiver. Judge Bond took the papers under consideration and promised to report his decision in three or four days Pending a hearing to-day a telegram from a Mr, Bloodgood, of New York, to Judge Bond wus read, pro- testing against the appointment of General Wickham as receiver, on account of his alleged mismanagement of the road while Vice President.

A fire at Freeport, Ill., late last night destroyed the Freeport watch factory, This establishment has been | In operation six months, and several bundrea watches were in process of completion. The loss on the build. ing and stock is $160,000, The fire I undoubtedly of incendiary origin, | force of the orchestra, again like an echo from the distance, colors the first part with a peculiar hae. The piano part is declamatory to a de- gree. Even the cadences—and there are many of them— are stormy enough for the most inveterate pounder. Pianists would weep on hearing tho first movement on account of its audacious liberties with the laws of harmony. In the second movement, addagio, Von Bilow ea reading that changed all received notions of it It was the correct one too, Lisat himseif could scarcely be more explicit, It would be well for our planists who affect to play this pieco to take a lesson from the man to whom Liszt communicated his mmost thoughts regarding it. Von Balow in the second and third movements surprised every one by his interprotation, giving new accentuations and changes of tempo, In this he was effective and intelligible even beyond Rubenstein, and the Boston mind will stady the concerto again ina very different manner, Bilow played three solo picces, prelades and fugues by Bach, Mendelssohn and Raff, ‘he sturdy good-natured measures of the father of fugues, John Sebastian Bach, in his A minor work, ar- ranged for the piano by the irrepressible Liszt, re- ceived a magnificent Tendering at the hands’ of Von Blow, Very different from the Bach work and with a ring of spurious metal about it was the profude and fugue in E of Mendelssohn. Even the choral which occurs tn it does not save it from ineffectiveness, The prolude and fugue of Rat cannot be considered as attractive in any senso of’ the word, They are extracts from his suite in E minor. Eccentricity takes the place of real art in this composition. he pianist did all he could to make tho two works _ palatable, and played them admirably, but thero was not enough of material for him to utilize to any artistic paige itisto be hoped that he will drop them from his répertoire.
