10 "WHIRLING CHEFS - Grand Ball of the French Cooks at the Academy; A FEAST FOR THE GODS. Magnificent Specimens of the Culinary Art. ‘The ball given last night at the Academy of Music by the “Sociétes Culinaires Philanthropiques et Cos- mopdlites” was an immense success, both in point pf the attendance and the manner in which the peo- ple enjoyed themselves. At about half-past ten the band played the grande marche, ‘Union Culinaire,” and the floor became thronged with fair ladies and their escorts making a very beautiful scene. After an animated promenade, the graceful movements of which were delightfully intricate, the brilliant assemblage on the floor broke up and formed into sets for the first dance. This being ® quadrille, it gave the Ja- dies magnificent opportunity for displaying their toilets, of which they took advantage with be- coming grace. The costumes, although perhaps not quite as costly as those worn at Charity balls, were extremely elegant. Asa rule the French ladies never fail to exhibit exquisite taste and judgmert in dreas- ing. They always manage to wear something that is just suited to theirstyle of beauty, and, al- though in some cases the display of finery was a little pronounced, still the effect was not inharmonious. ‘As dance after dance of the very full programme was finished the “‘spirit of the ball” became more lively, and, toward the end of the first part, the enthusiasm rose to a very high pitch. It was evident that every one present had come with the fixed de- * termination to enjoy herself or himself to the fullest extent, and to make this annnal reunion of the friends of the “Sociétés Culinaires,” one of the most brilllant social events of the season, Quad- rille, valse, polka and lanciers succceded each other to the stirring strains of the superb orchestra, pro- ducing the most brilliant changes of scene on the floor. Smiles and blushes of happiness dutshone the brilliant sea of resplondent jewelry, and bright eyes flashed back glances that would make diamonds of the first water burst with envy. Indeed, the good St. Anthony himself would be sorely tempted to neglect “his breviary and “go back” on his guardian angel lf it was possible that he could be transferred from his hermit’s cell to the midst of a brilliant scene like that presented by the Academy last night. The crash of the band playing the grande marche du souper gave the signal for a general movement in force on the abundant good things that loaded the supper tables in Nilsson Hall. Here, perhaps, tender questions were popped with cham- piste corks, and sweet nothings were swallowed with delicate jellies and ices. AT NILSSON HALL. ‘The basement of this hall was the scene of great ration during yesterday afternoon and evening. faiters and cooks jostled against one another in their rapid movements about the small room in which the various articles were re- ceived and prepared before being sent up to the supper room. Indeed, to sit for a while and listen to the uproar would make one imagine that he was in the culinary department of a large Parisian hotel on the occasion of some great feast. Everybody was talking to everybody else, and as if there ‘was a prize for the one who talked the fastest with- out waiting to catch breath. Ascending the stairway the Henatp reporter reached a calmer atmosphere, and was enabled to view undisturbed the room wherein the supper tables were laid and to gaze upon the remarkable works of art contributed by the cacfs of the principal hotels and clubs of the city. The hall ‘was very plainly but neatly decorated. A number of American streamers radiated from the gaslight in the centre of the ceiling, their long white and red tails being looped up by pretty colored shields, making = very pleasant contrast with the richly ornamented tables, which were six in number, and capable of ac- commodating abont seventy persons each.

Placed conspicuously on them were a number of ornamental pieces the final expression of the cook's srt, and which deserve to be regarded as daucres, One of the most prominent beautiful was a large white arch, the bases and columns adorned with figures of angels and mer- maids, This piece was the contribution of Mr. Gus- tave Nouvel, of the Hoffman House, and wap styled “Le Bon Plassir de ors messioure.”” Among the other pretty ornaments on exhibition ‘was that of a maiden, who, unburdened by any article of dress, looked down from the bank of @ stream xt the gold fishes isporting themselves in the sugar- encircled water beneath. A vory neat sugar piece, presented by M. Weil, was ina very good position, being at the head of the third table.

He is seated with his les wide apart, and an immense frog is just about to jump for him, while he has his fork ready to impale the reptile in order to borrow his presence that-his hunger might depart. THE MYSTERY OF COOKING. To give a correct idea of the extraordinary manip- ulation which the clement of some of the dishes had to undergo in order to bei with honor the new name given to them by their organizer would neces- sitate frequent reference to “Fowue's Chemistry” by the reader. Indeed, Lockyer himself would lose confidence ‘n his theory of the ultra gaseous com- position of matter did he attempt to reduce those Temarkable combinations to their element, While watching the building of some of the large orna- mental pieces yesterday afternoon my ear caught the sound of a Yoice that rose distinctly above the Babelish din. I looked, and there I sw a gaunt Hi- bernian, of Shakespearean proclivities, striking an attitude opposite @ large basin in which he wes ho mixing — tl ingredients of ain delicate and palatable little forms cf pastry. ‘Now, could I do it, e+ eh? he remarked to a friend at his elbow.

Great preparations have been made for the event, and the managers are of the opinion that it will eclipse every one of its brilliant pre rs. Last year 6,500 tickets were issued. The result was a crush” which made the occasion one of misery and discon- tent, and which disgusted the respectable guests with the bad management. This year only 3,500 tickets have been issued. : AMUSEMENTS, would, no doubt, sit stomach if partaken NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC CLUB. ‘The second soirée in the series of the above named organization was given at Chickering Hall last evening in the presence of a critical audience. It was full of interest to all lovers of mu- sic, inasmuch as it enabled them to en- joy the following well chosen programme:— String quartet, No. 2, G minor (new), A. Bazzini; 1, Allegro appassionato; 2, Andante con moto; 3, Ga- votte (Intermezzo) Allegretto; 4, Quasi presto; violing, viola, violoncello.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, All the Philadelphia theatres, except the variety houses, are doing good business. ‘The play of the ““Danites”’ is one of the handsom- est mounted pieces now on the stage. The scenery in the fifth act isa marvel of beauty. In consequence of the sudden illness of Mr. George Edgar the performance of “King Lear’ at the Broad- way Theatre will be discontinued, and “Enoch Ar- den,” with Mr. Joseph Wheelock as the principal character, will be substituted. “Othello” is in preparation and will probably be produced on Mon- day next. ANOTHER THEATRICAL SENSATION. BOUCICAULT VS. POOLE & DONNELLY—a CHANGE TO ANOTHER THEATRE—MANAGERIAL COM- ‘MENTS. Much comment has been elicited in the professional circles that attach to@he stage by tho singular pro- ceedings of Mr. Dion Boucicautt. It was announced a few wecks ago in the Henatp that he had contracted with Messrs. Poole & Donnelly, ot,the Grand Opera Honse, to play an engagement of six weeks, for which he was to receive $24,000, This contract is now in process of fulfilment, and up ‘ to the present time Mr. Boucicault has every night received a check for the proportionate sum to which he is entitled. The audiences have been large and the management of the Grand Opera House in every way were satisfied with their venture until Sunday, when it was announced that the celebrated actor would appear at Booth’s Theatre on the 10th of Feb- ruary, and during the forthcoming week present his four most noted Irish plays, with g cast selected from Wallack’s, Theatre consisting of Messrs, John Gilbert, John Brougham and Harry Beckett, be- sides whom were named Dominick Murray and Miss ‘Ada Dyas. The information is very direct, however, that the artists from Wallack’s Theatro have been loaned to Mr. Boucicault only for the Wednesday matinée, when Mrs. Boucicault (Afnes Robertson) makes her farewell appearance for the present on the American stage. Their presence is intended as a compliment to her, aud a large andience will doubt- less give her the greeting to which she is entitled. The origina! announcement, therefore, being calcu- lated to mislead the public, has become the subject of not a little criticism, in which harsh language has been bandied, and many words uttered that called for further investigation. A reporter of the Hxranp who visited Messrs. Poole & Donnelly at the Grand Opera Housd last evening endeavored to make inquiry. It certainly ‘was not 2 propitious moment, for ““Myles-na-Coppa- leen” was playing on the stage and in au hour more would receive lis pleasant check representing $500, Nevertheless, Mr. Donnelly said:— “Tam surprised at the action of Mr. Boucicault at this peculiar time, inasmuch as he is taking money out of his own hovse. Again, he {s honorably bound to awsist our management in cvery way, and any use of his name by other parties during his engagement at the Grand Opera House is au infringement of our. contract.” “Have you had any unpleasant words with him concerning the matter?” “Not at all,” was the reply. “Whatever courso ‘Mr. Boucicault may choose to pursue does not affect We think, however, that professionally and in & business senso he has made a mis take. No man can afford to dishonor the language or the spirit of his contract, an if for moment we believed that before concluding his arrangement with us he would have advertised a reproduction of his plays at a neighboring theatre we sbould have written our- selves fools before agreeing -to the payment of a sum larger as a certainty and in amount than any actor has received under similar conditions.” Mr. Donnelly here produced from his safe a pile of $500 checks representing $20,000 already Fond “How do you account for Mr. Boucicault’s opening at Booth’s after leaving you?” “I am at a Joss in answering the question, inasmuch as Mr. Boucicault gave us to understand that he would return here in April and open in “‘Arrah na fancy, however, that @ desire to appear his wife before her departure America, and — certain other little matters of which need not speak, haye influenced him in this curious and certainly unbusinesslike deterinination. I have rarely known Mr. Boucicanlt to go behind hix word, and there must be some remarkable reason why he has per- mitted his agents in the nt instance to lead him into his coming enterp' “With regard to prices, Mr. Donnelly; what does he yous to charge ?’ “Lunderstand that they will be Broadway prices, that is to say, $1 50 for reserved seats. But, after all, he will by obliged to use mitch of our company, can produce the plays no better, and will therefore give the public an opportunity to see that we present his pieces just es well if not better than they can be given elwewhere at half his figures. By the way, let me say to you that long before the present engagement with Mr. Dion Boucicault we had arranged tor the rentrée of Miss Agnes Robertson, and she would probably have ges with us but for the present combination with her husband.”’ “Has your business fallon away in consequence of these rumors?" “It has (emphatically). However, as Mr. Bouci- cault plays “Colleen Bawn” and “Kerry” on Friday and Saturday, these plays may possibly compensate tor the losses of the earlicr portion of the week.” COUNTY “OFFICIALS UNDER BAIL. Thomas Macau, John V. Conover, John B. Insles, Manning Freeman and Staats F. Randolph, of New Brunswick, the first named Director and the others members of the Board of Freeboldcrs, gave bail yesterday for their appearance before the Grand dury.

SIX MEN IN JAZ. CHARGED WITH KILLING AN OLD MAN TO OBTAIN INSURANCE MONEY. [BY TELESRAPH TO THE HERALD]. Reaprse, Pa., Fel, 4, 1879. This afternoon the community of Lebanon, Pa., was startled when the announcement was made that Charles ‘Truth, Israe! Brandt, Frank Stechler, Henry Weiss, Josiah Hummel and George Zechman were committed to jail on the charge of having murdered Joseph Raber. an aged man, fifteen miles from Leba- non, last December, The body of the man was found lying in a small creek, near his residence, and at first it was supposed that he had dropped from a plank while crossing from an attack of vertigo, and had been drowned, Nothing wrong was suspected at first, but when it was learned that strange parties held policies of insurance on the old man’s life to the amount of $15,000, the manner of the death was more closely investigated, The, deceased had no relatives, and . when the body was picked up, it was alleged that no efforts were made to resuscitate him, The coroner was even compelled to hold the inquest in a burn, as the body wes not allowed to be brought into any neigh- boring house. : DRIVEN BY CONSCIENCE. The information charging the aceused with the murder was sworn to by Joseph F. Peters, of West Hanover township, before Squire Peck. Peters testi- fied that he saw several of the aceused strike the old man over the head with a blunt instrument an‘ then throw the body into the creek to convey the impression that he had fallen. in and drowned. Peters swears that the reason he did not make the information earlier was because his father-in-law, Charles Truth, was one of the parties concerned in the murder. His conscience, however, trou- bled him, and at last | he guve way d told the terrible story, The _ warrant placed in charge of four officers, who visited the scene of the murder and made tho,arrests. Peters was agoldier in the regular army and had just re- turned home. The scene of the niurder is in « lonely portion of the county near the Blue Mountains. Ail of the prisoners, excepting Truth and Zechman, have policies on the old man’s life. It is believed thatthere was a conspiracy among all the accused to get the old man out of the way to secure tho money. THE PRISONERS, ‘tenth is fitty years of ago, Brandt forty-five, Stech- ler twenty-one, Woiss thirty-five, Hummel thirt; and Zechmen thirty-five. They are tolerably well connected, and were comuitted tor @ hearing on Sat- urday next, at Lebanon, at ten o’clock. * A COFFEE-COLORED FIEND. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) . Cnantortr, N. C., Feb. 4, 1879. Yesterday at Laurinburg, a village on the Carolina Central Railroad, between this place and Wilming- ton, a mulatto man waylaid a white girl—Miss Bethune—and, attacking her in the woods, suc- ceeded in overpowering and lashing her to a tree, when he brutally assaulted her. ‘The mulatto left the girl tied, and, when she was found some time later, he had fied, nor has he yet been overtaken. A reward for his capture has been ‘offered by the young Jady’s friends. Miss Bethune is of respectable family and the event has occasioned much excitement in the community. A STATE OFFICER ARRESTED. MALICIOUS OPPRESSION, PARTIALITY AND FRAUD CHARGED AGAINST AN OIL INSPECTOR. Sr. Louis, Mo., Feb. 4, 1879, A good deal of excitement prevailed here to-day in political and official circles in consequence of the arrest late last night.by detectives of Harrison Atta- way, State Coal Oil Inspector, just as he was boarding @ railroad train to leave the city. The affair was quite mysterionaly conducted. No warrant was served on Attaway, the de- tectives saying they received their orders from the foreman of the Grand Jury. The arrest has been deemed a very arbitrary proceeding. To- day Attaway was brought beforo, Judge Laughlin, of* the Criminal Court, on a bench warrant and placed under $1,000 bonds to answer an indictment. Clifford Able, chief clerk. and deputy of Attow: was also arrested to-day on a__ bene! warrant and = put under bonds for wil- fully refusing to produce the books of the Coal Oil Inspector's office before the Grand Jury. No indictment has yet been presented ayainst ‘Attaway, but there seems to be no doubt that one will be returned in a day or two, and that the charge against him will be founded on the statuto referring to mulicions oppression, partiality in office and fraud, In this, case “alleged * traud.| will be the pal charge, based tpon testimon: which is said to have been given before the Grand Jury by wholesale petroleum oil dealers, that fora long time past the oil sold by them to retailers in the city and country has fallen short of the official gauge from two to four gallons per barrel. It is aleo expected that an indictment of a similar nature will be found against Deputy Able. SITTING BULL IN CANADA. Orrawa, Ont., Feb! 4, 1879, The Pree Press says:—‘‘The stories in the American papers about Sitting Bull having crossed over from the Canadian side of the boundary are purely apocry phal. From private information in our possession Sitting Bull is encamped at Frenchman's Creek, at the head of Wood Mountain, twenty-five miles north of the boundary line.” AFTER THE FIGHT. Fort Rosrnson, Neb., Feb. 4, 1879, To-day twenty-one Cheyenne prisoners, consisting of seven bucks and fourteen women and children, guarded by two companies of the Third cavalry, under Captain Vroom, left for Sidney, en route to Leavenworth. Private Sprowl, of Company L, Third cavalry, died last night in the post hospital, having been shot by some unknown person on the 26th of January within rb chang yards of this post while drawing an am- ulance. THE BLODGETT INQUIRY. TESTIMONY TENDING TO CLEAR THE JUDGE OF THE CHARGES, Curcaco, Feb. 4, 1879. Tho defence in the Blodgett investigation called General Leak, who testified that he never heard of a conference between Hesing and Judge Blodgett, as testified to by the former, or of any payment by Hesing to Florsheim and others, and he believed that Hesing had in good faith turned over every- thing to the creditors, and that the execution could not realizeanything. Washington, Hesing and others testified as to the value of the stock of the Staats Zeitung in 1974 and as to the disposition made of it. ‘The drift of the evidence was that the stock had no market value, on account of its being a close cor- oration, and it was difficnit to gét bids for it at any ure. tr, Pietszach, secretary of the Staats Zeitung com- pany, testified tliat the indebtedness of the company in 1874 was $191,000. Adolph Krictzingar testified that in 1875 Hesing took oath that the stock was not worth over fifteen cents on the dollar. William B, Bradford corroborated Krietzingar. 1. Bond testified that H. Raster recently told him that the stock was well disposed of, for twenty- five cents on the dollar, William H. King testified that he believed Judge Blodgett was disinclined to appoint Vocite assignee on account of Hesing’s solicitation that he ke ap- pointed; he heard Hesing himself say the stock was not worth that amount. The importance of this evi- dence is that it contradicts Hesing’s testimony of lnst week, when he said he was ignorant of the con- tents of the affidavit referred to, and that the ssid affidavit was false, Berthold Lowenthal, a stockholder in the Ger- mania Insurance Company, testified that he never heard until this trial that Hesing made private terms with Judge Blodgett to get off iy Leon Swett, attorney for the first batch, de- nounced as false Hesing's statoment that he had stg- gested to Hexing to inform on Ward, Logan ind others; neyer mentioned those names to Hesing; never talked with him for more than a few minutes at atime, Kh. F. Ayer, counsel for the government in the whiskey cases, testified that he never knew of a prop- osition by government counsel that Hesing should “aqueal;" Hesing had told government counsel that he knew nothing derogatory to Farwell, but had pro- vosed to inform on certain parties, and was exceed- ingly anxious to plead guilty on certain points; counsel wore unwilling to show Heting mervy, be- lieving him the author of the conspiracy against the government. Louis Boutelle, Assistant United States Attorney in 1875, corroborated this testimony. William B. Kerfoot testified that he heard Hesing while in jail, swear revenge on Blodgett for sentenc- ing him so severely. ohn Stafford and J. M. Valentine testified simt- larly. The former heard Hesing say if he had been armed he would have shot Judge Blodgett on the ench, J, O. Glover, former United States District Attor- ney, denied Hesing’s testimony that he advised Hesing to “squeal” on Ward; witners, at the solicita- tion of Hesing, interceded with Jndye Blodgett to spare him; the Judge asked if witness thought such. aman ought to be spared. ¥. H. Winston denied in general and particular all of Hesing’s testimony so far as it related to him; the $2,000 was paid hin as a retainer before Hesing’s arrest; advived Hosing to get a trial beore some more lenient judge then et Witness wat ee warm and emphatic in contradicting THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, At a stated mecting of the New York Historical So- ciety last evening, Rey. B. F. De Costa read a very in- teresting paper on the Lenox globe in its relation to the history of American discovery. This globe, Mr. De Costa said, is the oldest of what are called the post Colmubian globes, or those inade after the dis- covery of Amorica by Columbus in 1492, It was found twenty-five years ago in Paris, by Mr, Richard M. Hunt, and by him brought to New York and held by him till the completion of the Lenox library, This globe, the learned gentleman claimed, proves that thery was a great deal more known about the geography of the earth in the sixteenth century than is generally allowed, as on this globe is even marked out certain African lakes since made famous by the diveoveries of Stanley and Livingston, | Mr. De Costa went into an_ elaborate dissertation, on the discoveries of Marco Polo and other bold navigators of his time," and also criticised acutely their mistakes in regard to geog- raphy. This Lenox globe, by whomever made—and he claimed that it was made as early as 1511—upset auny of the theories of Marco Polo and other ancient geographers and nivigators. Mr. De Costa's paper was listened to with marked attention, and was or- dcred to be placed on file among the archives of the society. ‘TIRED OF LIFE. George Schmidt, a German, fifty-three years of ago, who resides at the corner of Eighty-third street and Third avenne, made a desperate attempt to end his life last night while visiting his step-daugh- ter, Mrs, Sherwood, who resides at No, 68 Carlton avenue, Brooklyn. He first shot himself in the head with a pistol containing buckshot, He then stubbed himselé in the left. brpast with a large pocketknife, after which he cut his left wrist, Tho police wero informed of the occurrence and had him removed to the City Hospital, Slight hopes are entertained of hia reco ery. Schmidt's wife left him some time ago, and it is thought that this fact was the means of causing him to attempt to end his life. BURNED TO DEATH. ‘The ocenpants of the rear tenement house No, 412 Fast Twelfth street were startled Inst night by hear- ing © peculiar noise in the apartments rented by Michael O'Neil, in the back part of tho first floor of the building. Immediately after smoke was dis. covered issuing from the rooms. John Reilly, who happened to be passing thr6ugh the hallway, broke open the door and found Mrs. Ellen O'Neil lying near the stove with her clothing on fire. He procured a pail, filled it with water, and threw its contents over the unfortunate woman. An am- bulance was sent for, but when Dr, Ger- .thals, of Bellevue Hospital, answered the sum- mons Mrs. O'Neil was found to be dead, Some time after the accident took place O'Neil was found asleep in one of the inner rooms. When ap- rised of his wife’s death he became frantic, and as he was somewhat under the influenco of liquor Officer Leonard, of the Soventeenth precinct, arrested him on a charge of intoxication. His daughter says that but afew minutes before the accident she left her mother sitting by the stove, amoking‘a pipe. Her father was sound asleep in bed in an adjoining room. z SUICIDE BY HANGING. An inquest was held by Coroner Simms yesterday afternoon on the body of James 8. Ross, who com- mitted suicide by hanging himself at-his residence, No. 483 Willoughby avenue, Brooklyn. It appeared on the inquest that the deceased, who was forty-eight years of age, was for several years engaged in the dry goods business, but failed several months ago. Since then he had become metancholy and despondent be- cause of his inability to contribute to the support of his family. When he returnpd to his house ou Mon- day night he appeared to be under the influence of liquor, and remained seated in the kitchen until a quarter past twelve o’clock, when he went up to his bedroom. He did not remain there long. He got up and went down stairs to the dining room. His wife, becoming uneasy at his prolonged absence, went in search of him and found him hanging by the neck from a rope, the end of which he had fastened over the top of the door. With the assist- ance of her gon Mrs. Ross lowered the body of her husband, who was lifeless when she discovered him. The Coroner’s jury found that deceased committed asinine while suffering from temporary‘aberration of mind. RETRENCHMENT IN HOBOKEN. A number of prominent citizens of Hoboken have prepared a bill to be presented to the present Legis- lature favoring reduction of taxes in that city. Tho bill provides for the reduction of ail anlaries under the t city government; also abolishes the Board of Faueation and Board of Polieo Commissioners, the work to be performed by the Common Council, It further abolishes the office of Recorder, the work to be performed by the Mayor.
