Not in the recollection of the oldest railroad men has such astonn as that now raging swept over west orn New York. Ever since Thursday last the hotel iu this place have been filling lip with snow bound pa.wngers; their faces sit westward, but their progress is effectually blocked. On Friday night tho railroad ofllcials at Jersey Oity assured anxious inquirers that the road was open to the pasRQge of trains over tli aud the Buffalo divisions of the Erie Huilwaj. As a cniwipii iice they havo lieen corning on in nimilfr, only to arriving at this point or at Horuelfcvill" that the) have been deceived. The prospect is dismal in the xtn inw.

All idea of opening the mads has lxeu abaiulom d. pending the subsidence of the prevailing storm, anil railway employes of lilh and low decree sit down and fold their hands, submissively waiting for Old Boreas to blow himself out. Iu truth they canlo nothing ole. Nuenfjlne could ever force a road through tlie uow drifts, which lie piled up from four to ten feet high and two hundred to eight hundred yards long at intervals lv.twt en here and Rochester and Hornollsville and Buffalo. One hundred men were set to work digging out a drift at Lilicr ty, and though they worked with will, in less than an hour not a trace of tlieir labor was visible the snow lay piled up as If it had never boon disturbed.

The peculiarity of this storm lies in the faet that the snow Is frozen no solidly, and in uch minute cryntaN, that it is like so much polished fand. It slips abont regardless of shovel or plow un engine will not go through, but mounts upon it while the wind blows so terrifically that the "cuts'' an: tilled aaiu as rapidly as they can be shoveled out. On the hlllr juot ab. tvo us it Is blowing thia afternoon at from to tiVL'tity miles au hour. A wrecking train stands ready to go out at the very first moment to tho work of eleariug the Iraek.

Ray followed him and had scarcely reached the sidewalk when he attacked him in a ino. violent manner, knocking biui down and kiekluj? 1 iiiu! on the head and face. It is alleged that ltay was aesistea in his cowardly attack by two friends who live iu the While he was down one of the parties robbed Mr. luomeuschneider or his containing $50.

Mrs. Myers, who keeps a grocery tore on the opposite corner, witnessed the assault and ci ied out, tl For Ood's sake don't murder the man." Ray and his friends made their escape beforo the arrival of the police, but the former dropped his hat, of which the tu jured man took possession. It was not until the follow iug day the police authorities were notitied of the out rago, and Detective Zumlr was detailed to work up the case, but it was not until Saturday night that he snc cceeded in arresting Ray, who was brought before Mr. Riemenschneider and fully identified. Tho pri soner was arraigned before Seinler yesterday afternoon and committed for examination.

PRAYIXG FOR THE IILIE JACKETS. Opening ot the Week or l'rayer in Ir. t'uyler'o G'lutrc li. The lecture room of the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian Church was crowded last evening, the occasion being the inauguration of the ei angelical alli auce week of prayer under the auspices, of the Young People's Association. Mr.

A. K. Piatt conducted the services, which were of au earnest aud interesting char actor. Miss Crook presided at the organ aud luruihed excellent accompaniments. 1 The services opened with the liyinn "One M.ire Day's Work for ivbich was sung with spirit and bar mony by the congregation.

Mr. Ilrown made a prayer I invoking tho Divine blessing on the church anil the, cause of Christ in the world, und a king the assistance I of Ood in bringing forth good fruit from the week of prayer. The prayer was followed by the hymu "1 need Thee F.very Hour." Mr. l'lalt then read the 51st IValm, and taking it for his text proceeded to make remarks thereon. As a church they could cry out with the psalmist for 1 mercy.

They could not teach the way to Christ unless they first had their own hearts clean, and lie cautioned 1 them all to see to It tb3t their hearts ami minds were thoroughly cleaned. He read rcpiest ior prayers from an impenitent young man and from a uwUut for Ye unconverted chvmren. He then maile a pr.iyer asking for mercv from on High for those for whom prai ers were requested. ''Son of My Soul" was sung and the meeting was theu opened for those who desired to relate their experiences or to pray. Among thii speakers wai Rev.

T. L. ('njler, V.U., pastor of the church, who said there ere tiuu praying was of more account than preaehlng. So it was with them on that occasion. Tho programme of the alliance for the first evening of the week of prayer rt'iiuircil that thanks be given to God, but the speaker thought they could have no programme better than the 5lst Psalm.

That seemed for them a programme inspired bv Ood. Dr. C'uvler onotod the lisalm ami said if thy stuck to it for their programme through the week he believed their group of prayer meetings would not be in vain.

FIXE AUT.S. J. 81. Wliittakcr's "Puritan I.orer," I Oiie of Mv. Whittaket's latest 011 i titled The Puritan fxivors," has recently 1cen pur cha.

ed by Mr. William Hester, who has it uow hung among other choice works that adorn his city residence. 1 The Puritan Lovers" aroused a considerable amount I of interest among connoisseurs, while It was yet upou the easel of the artist. Tho picture roprewnti the cpi Bode in the life of the Puritan maidcu, Pri.scilla, when she accosts Johu Alden upon the beach just after the departure of the Slay Flower, and depreeatos tho fact that upon the precodiug evening she had allowed her love for himself to appear even while he was suing her '1 hand for another. It will be remembered that ''Miles Standish, the Captain of Plymouth," lev.

iug gae.1 around upon the somewhat limited aisortmetit of mar riageable maideuB then residing among tho seven faini I lies of Plymouth, had selected Priscilla a3 being moit 1 likely to till satisfactorily the void left in his heart and home by tho untimely demise of his first Rose and he chose his bosom friend, John AMen, to act a his embassador iu the preliminary stages of the matter, 1 blind to the fact that John, too, had pris cilla in tho light of a possible, placfiix v.rr lor himself. These were the Captain's instructions You, who ate bred as a scholar, can say it iu elegant language. Such as you read in your books of tho plcadiDga 9 wooing of lovers, Such us yuu think best adapted to wiu the heart 01 maiden." It will bo remembered how John Alden faithfully, though stainmermgly, iwrfonued his task and how (Alas poor Miles "Archly the maiden smiled, aud, with eyes overrunning with laughter. Said, in a tremulous voice, 'Why don't you speak for yourself, How John, torn with mingled emotions of joy at tho knowledge that he alone waa beloved of the maiden and at self regret at his failure to bring the suit of bis frieud to a happy issue, iu faltering accents detailed the main (Joints of tho interview to his principal. How the latter gentleman, disgusted and mortified at the result of his amatory overture, com cued his soldiers, iiirf "Great invincible army.

Twelve men. all equipped, having each withhn ro st aud his matchlock, Eighteen shillings a month, together with diet and pillage," and with them departed northward to wreak his fury on the rod man of the forest. How ou the morrow the good ship May Flower sailed for old Knglaml, leaving the population assembled upou the beach to witness her departure, waving homespun handkerchiefs in token of farewell. How after all had returned to their occupations except Priscilla and John, tho maiden approached the youth and 'Are you so much offended you will not speak to me said she, 'Am I so much to blame that yesterday, when you were pleading Warmly the cause of another, my heart, Impulsive aud wayward, Pleaded your own, and spake out, forgetful perhaps of decorum It is this scene in I.ougfcllow'8 beautiful poem that Mr. Whittaker has selected as tho subject of his canvas.

The lovers are depicted as standing near the sea, look Ing out over the expanse of waters. It may reasonably be Inferred, however, that sad thoughts engendered by the departure of the May Flower are not npppermost in their minds. The artistic treatment of the work is admirable, the drawing being lugenious, the color strong, and the lights and shadows contrasted with groat felicity. 1 Mr. Whittaker may bo congratulated upon hia work and Mr.

Hester upon becoming its possseusor.

Last Saturday night at) Captain Ingrahau), of Glen Cove, was ou his way homo from the village, he was stopped by two men, one of whom said that he must glvo them fifty cents or lose his life. The spokesman displayed glittering blade, bat the captain could not determine whether It was a digger or a razor, but probably razor, as the miscreant who handled It was a negro. Captain lugrahom ran his hand into his coat pocket, and saying; I have no money," drew out of It a six shooter, which made the footpads vanish In quick order.

Ycst nluv afternoon the 7Kth call for $10, OOO.OiK) consols or l'(C7 was Issued by the Secretary of tb. Treasury, making 10,000,000 called in since December III, aud it Is eipeeted that another call will be sucd by Wednesday. These calls arc tu rospouM sob ciiptions to 4 per tent, bonds, aud explained yesterday that these are large by reason of the competition among certain banks to see which can sub.icribo for the largest amount between this and June 'jo. Tho fecretary of the Treasuay Is anxious, as rapi hr possible, to refund the 6 per cents. ho has ollere i the i on very favorable terms, and he has uo option but to call the bonds first In order on the list.

Ctn grtvs can now do a very sensible act by seconding th suggestion of tho Secretary, so as to enable him to reduce the limit now lixed by law at ninety daya of notice on called iKUlds. If he should be permitted so to do, Mr, fihermiu will doubtless consider that thirty days is ample notliv, and this will save one per cent, to the Hovcrnmeut. One effect of these rapid calls of bond li een in tlis decline of all classes of the 6 per both In tlc market and iu London, and tho '07s aud 'Oil are influenced more than the fis of 1881. Another effect is seen in tho rate for money on colt and on short time on pledge of acceptable collateral. Yesterday contracts were made at ly.

per cent, per annum for Ci) daya on Government bonds. This low rato comes from the fact that subscribers for t's are in the niaiia borrowing G's or other bonds for deposit ltfi th" Treasury as collateral ogalnst the 4's taken out. Tli' will tend to make a low rato for money while they continue, cud will render It difficult for some of tho banks, not national or depository, t'. (am enough money to satisfy the demauds of tliti st.K kh ihlers. About thu only way iu which national batiks can protit by tills condition of alTara is to snrrend thoii C's and take out 4's as security for circulation.

Ths last statement of the Controller of the Currency showed 0's and 0'a so deposited with th Treasurer while ouly 4'a were held as security for circulation. Thi Western people are looklug with envy upon the of thii section whom they regard as being highly favored in being able to obtain gold for legal lenders while they must lie content to accept United States nots in lieu of gold. Tho sooner the Hacrotary of tho Treasury can roctlfy thl the better, for If it is not don sjieedily Western people may induce their representatives in Congress to introduce mischievous financial measures. The snow blockade in the West has made a decided impression upon the Exchange market. Exportable gds arc detained on the road and cannot be got through iu time for ths steamers.

Ths docnmeuU wldch refer to thca goods arriv by mall, but tha shtpicra are unablo to use thorn, as bankers require th bills of ladiug issued by the vessel on which the goods are shipped. This makes comniercio bills scarce, and tha rale for sluty days sterling was this moruiug advanced to 'the graiu movement at Chieago and MUwaukeo today was as follows Chigaico Bushels.

The Erie road is rwported runulng ou Bchejiil tinia and this stock Is readily moved upward. Tho C'eutrl and Ijke Shore are blocked aud tho advance Ip Ui Miarcs is retarded. The speculation this morning rau tho Grangers upward, because there is a pool in thde specialties. The coal shares aro Inclined lie heavy, on rep that the Iickawauna will sell l.Vl.oiJO tons at tho nexl auetiou sale, and that the Reading will place Hi coil competition with that of the f.ockawaniia. Towor I noon the market fell off on realizing salos, and tin was heavy for Western Union and thu railroad list.

FATAL FIRE. Sovcm FJreiucn laijisrcil anl One Milled. A Thrilling: Time in Vosey Strcci, New York, this Moruiug'. A fire broke out at abont three o'clock this morning in the upper part of the five Btory bulldins No. 73 Vesey street, New York, occupied by J.

Richardson dealers in teas, coffee, provisions and Dour, Before the firemen could got ot work the flames had epread to No. 75 Vesey street, occupied by Frank W. Bauer, dealer in teaa, coffees aud sugars, and from thence communicating with the large tea store of J. Stiucr Co. and M.

H. Moses Nob. 77 and 79 Vesey street. Tho damage by water and smoke to No. i 73 was slight, being about $150.

No. 75, however, met with a worse fate. The flames spread through tho building with great rapidity, and it was evident that tho etoek, with the building, was doomed to total destruc tion. Upon the second floor of this building were eight firemen at work. As the doors and rafters weakened from the effects of the fire, tho east wall began to totter, and as it swayed to aud l'ro the firemen were twico warned of impending danger and ordered to come away.

But they heeded not the warniug aud soon this wall FELL WITH A CRAKB, burying three men bcueath it. The smoko bulged out in a dense mass, and it was with great difficulty that the firemen conld vender any relief. However, one bi' one they were pulled out as signs of life were manifest, aud were hurried to the Chambers street Hospital. Out of tho eight was taken out dead, Fireman Irving, son of ex Alderman Irving, who was takeu to Engine Iloue No. 29.

THE NAMES Of THE INVL'KED men are as follows Chief William Rowe, of the Tenth Battalion. Foreman. Michael Reeves, Hook an i lajder No. 8. Fireman McCuue, Hook and Ladder No.

f). Foreman, Thomas Van Home, Engine No. Firemen Doimis Regan, Jones ami Hogau of the oompany. Though nono of these men are lieliovcd to bo fatally injured, their wounds are seriouB, tholr bodies being crushed, bruised, lacerated and cut. The stock in this building is a totnl loss, being covered by the falling wall and saturated with water.

The flames did but little damage to Nos. 77 and 79, the loss being principally from smoke and water. The total loss is estimated at $18,000, covered by insurance. The insurance upon the building So. 75, which was destroyed, Ib Baid to be $11,000.

ASI1ES TO Funeral of the I.ale J. S. Rockwell J. bj YcKterdav Itcmarks by tUe ltcv. Dr.

Storrs. Fuueral services were held, yesterday afternoon, over the remains of tho lato S. Rockwell, in tho parlors of hla stately mansion on Montagne terrace, where he died Friday last. Notice had been given that the funeral would be private, and there was consequently a small atteudance, tho members of the family, a few friends and the employes of the deceased millionaire being the only ones proent. The workmen, who outered the house in a body, were apparently much affected.

Some of them had been employed by the deceased ever since ho started In business, iu Connecticut, forty years ago, and were deeply attached to bim. Mrs, Rockwell anil Mrs. Carhart, the adopted daughter of tho deceased, are suffering from the same malady that carried off the head of the family, and were unable to bo present at the services. The remains, encased iu a casket of elwny, covered with black cloth and heavily mounted with silver, were in the drawing room. A plate, bearing tho name, dato of birth and date of death, ornamented tho lid of the coffin.

On the casket and ou heavily draped tables either side reposed mimeroue floral tokens, whoso fragrance permeated the atmosphere. At the head was a large pillow of white roses, with tho word "Husband" in immortelles. A sickle of tea rones was in the centre, and at tho foot stood a cross of ivy, with a simple wreath of tea roses. Crowns, crosses, wreaths and baskets of rare exotics surrounded the catafalque, and flowora the hUituary In the apartment. The services were brief aud simple, aud were conducted by Rov.

Richard S. Storrs, I). pastor of thu Church of the Pilgrims, where Mr. Rockwell was a regular attendant. Dr.

Storrs road a passage from tho Scriptures aud then made a brief adclre. ss. REMARKS OK DB. 8TOKBS We ataiul in the house of tho strong man smitten with death iu his own home, aud the community say how strange It Is. We do not so much marvel when the young child dies.

We do not so much marvel when the aged die. When tho man in the luidBt of bis strength aud usefulness is stricken down under circumstances which promise immunity from death we say how terrible these things are. It is a reasonable and salutary lesson that is taught ua. Ood has ordained these agencies for the destruction of human life. Wo ought to feel that we tread on the crumbling edge of lif" 11.

ou' 11 may lx tuu time. we ought to seo Divino ProN ideiicu overruling and diroctlug these things. If wp recognizo the government of Ood utall we must rccngnixc it a ex tannine to nil the affairs of life. Wo must recognize this application as coming from the beneficent Father in heaven. Though it was unexpected to us It waB not unexpected to Him.

We uiuhI know that by aud by when we tee all tho relations and effects of this event we will recognize that it was for the best. It is a touching thought to think the death of our friend came largely from the tenderness of his heart. In continuing, he said Another thought that wr may delight to contemplate Is that (lod had been leaiil.g our friend in the way that leads to everlasting life. Those who knew him best kuesv there was within him a eat tenderness of spirit. They recognized in him the courage, judgment aud prudence that marked his business success and recognized also the goodness of his heart aud the sweetness and tondernoss of his affection.

God. had been leading him through sickness to a new experience. Laat Wlutor his thoughts turned moro than over before to tho great reality before us. During this last anguish through which he has been passing he has been brought uoarer than ever to the unBeon world.nearer and nearer to God. God had been loading bim through that fullness of spirit out of which comes life eternal.

Dr. Storrs reforred in touching terms to the death of Mr. Rockwell's grandchild. He then spoke of tho loss his death was to the community, to the church aud to hlfl frieudB and to his relatives. What ran we do, he asked, but to take to our hearts this lesBon and profit by it.

All that remains to him now is tho character which to him was bo precious. Iu conclusion. Dr. Storm warned his hearers not to live alone for the thingB of this world, but for tho things of that world which is to come. He closed the services with fervent prayer and the benediction.

Tho retnaius were takeu to Greenwood, whore they were placed iu tho receiving vault. THE WEEK OF PRAYER. Observance in ttoe ProlcMaiU t'unrches of this City.

Sedgwick Association todk placo last night at Gallatin Hall, and proved In every respect a most enjoyable affair. The decorations were on ou extensive aud elaborate scale, and the fine hall never presented a more attractive appearance. Banners aud bunting were tastefully arranged and the dancing took place beneath a canopy of rod, white and blue. The guests began to arrlvo soon after ten o'clock, but the hall was not opened until eleven, whon over one hundred couples joined in the grand promenade. It was announced that it would be a calico hop, and tho drosses of the ladies wero for the most part fashioned from that Blmplo fabric.

Tho trimmings, however, were so rich and. elaborate, that silks and satins would not have produced a more pleasing or striking effect. There was every possible variety in style aud color, and when the ladles and their partners mingled In the mazy dance the scene was an interesting and beautiful ono. The rush of fresh visitors did not cease until after midnight, when tho hall was crowded, but not to an uncomfortable degree. The music was furnished by Mccormick's orchestra and was In every respect satisfactory.

Mr. Robert B. Sedgwick, after whom the aiioclation present from the beginning to tho close, and was frequently complimented on the success of the affair. Tho various committees exerted themselves to tho utmost and not a single incident occurred to mar the pleasure of the occasion. Among those who participated wore County Clerk John Delmar, Justice Andrew Walsh, er AIderman Charles Vaughan, Alexander Hunter, Alderman Dwyer, Wm.

B. Dunning, Bobort Johnson, David T. Roche, Jeremiah Butler, Horman Struck, Frank O'Malley, Herman Dohm, Counselor Zimmerman, James Campbell, Edward Cobnm, De tectivo Corr, Fred. L. Jenkins, delegations from the Bachelor Club, of WUUamsburgh, and tho Caledonia Clnb and others.

TUe Woman Wlio Was Run Over Near Itoslyii. One week ago yesterday afternoon. Snrnh Mott, colored, of Koslyu, was run over on tho Long Island Railroad, between Glen Head aud Roslyn. Her right log was cut off just below the knee, tho toes of her loft foot were severed aud her left shoulder was dislocated. She started to walk from Roslyn to Glen Cove and fell in a fit.

Since the accident the has lxad a fvt almost every howr, bo Uvftt Utv woyvthvp cowAcV not bo properly treated.

A Comedy of Errors" was played last evening at tho Brooklyn Park Theatre, before a large and highly diverted audience, Messrs. Robson and Orane apiiearlng as the two Droviiox, and Messrs. Hardie and Stuart as the two Antipholi. The piece went very smoothly and illustrating the quick and accurate study of the members of the I'ark Theatre company, who, in this case were reinforced by Miss Ada Monk and Miss Alicia Robson. Most of the scenery is now the costumes were all brought over by the stars and wore the result of much patient study and comparison of notes and comments by them.

Indeed, no material assistance was wonting to give the piece full advantago. Tho original version of the play which has coma down to ua is written in five acts, and contains many very broad and coarse speeches. The acting version h.18 transposed several scenes and even fragments of dialogue, and has condensed the play into three acta. These are not especially designed to benefit the stars, for some of their witty lines are generously turned over to tho Antipholi, as where the Dromto of Syracuse describes the wife of hla brother. Here the dialogue is divided between mas tor aud servant.

One line omitted, with reference to this dame, might just as well have been included, for it is illustrative of tho exuberant wit of Shakspcare. The I lady in question is so fat that Dromto says, "I warrant her rags, and the tallow in them, will burn a Poland Winter." This is given in the acting version to Aiitijih ot, but Shakspeare ronnds off the conceit by letting Dromio add "II she lives till doomsday she'll burn a week longer than the rest of the world." Ludicrous as tho comedy is to read, however, so clever a realization of the confusion as these two nimble witted comedians have made it is even funnier, and tho auditor who can Bit through tho performance without laughing till his eidoa ache, and admitting that the author of "King Lear" and "Macbeth" was a master of farcical situation, la to bo pitied. The "Comedy of Errors" is Shaks peare's only farce. Uo exact dato is assigned to it, but from Internal evidence it Ib adjvidged to havo been one of Ula very earliest plays. The opening speech of Bgemt, however, the moving pathos of bis mistake in recognizing his Ephcsian eon as his Syracusan boy.

and beiug apparently abandoned by fate just at the momont of relief, the characters of Adriana and her sister are all worthy of his later works. The serious speeches are freighted with the same exqniBite imagery that we find in any of the later plays, while tho rollicking wit of tho clowns Is unexcelled anywhere. Classical readers have come across the original of the "Comedy of Errors," even to some of the raciest incidents in too "Menrecbmi" of Plautns, an adaptation of which, now lost, was played at Hampton Court in 157C, under the title of the "Historie of Error." Another play of PlautuB, tho "Amphitruo," furnished some fur ther suggestions. But this said, all is said. The serious i characters are Shakspearo's, tho serious interest which gives coherence to the plot is Shakspeare's, the mirth of the situations has been immeasurably increased by the addition of tha Dromios, by Shakspeare, and whercaB the mistakes regarding the two masters mild seem strainod and improbable, the quadruple complication so hastens events that one has no time to weigh probability but must yield to the current and go with it.

No attempt at dating the scene is given, and heuco a little Bido pun about Blotusabella's forehead being France, because it made war upon its heir, referring to the civil war of 1589, and an allusion to America, not yet a contu ry old in European knowledge, may not be protested against as anachronisms. They are omitted, by the I Tho performance of the two character parts, the Dromios, by Messrs. Robson and Crane, Is certainly very funny. The marked peculiarities of the former, facial, digital and vocal for it is a ludicrous blunder to suppose that Mr. Robson's chief eccentricity is his srraoak are faithfully imitated by the latter, until it becomes diffloult even for those who know the two comedians woli to distinguish them at the first glance.

How much identity is unconsciously laid to a voice, by the way, few people realize. Superficial likeness of feature is frequently attended with the most amuBing conf ubIou when backed by an identity of voice and passable likeness of manner, as both Messrs. Robson and Crane can testify from their own experience. Hence the importance of chooBing a standard of manner, gesture and eo centrio vocal inflection and adhering to it. There are few comedians more individual in their pecularities than Stuart Robson.

Even to tho joints of his fingers ha carries himself ludiorously, while bis voice, by reason of Its curious Inflection, easily catches the ear and fixes bis Identity. Mr. Crano, thorefore, has conformed himself to the Robson ataudard with the most gratifying success. The cleverness of his imitation of Bobson, however, should not blind one to the originality and humor of tho former's personation. Both are deserving of praise and it may be said without prejudice that Mr.

Crane was never so funny as he is in this comedy wherein ho imitates Robson. The tradi Hons of the stage do not demand such perfection of eountorfeit in the two Aniipholi, for the reason that the audience must be given some key to tho riddle, ond the Imagination must be allowed some play. ThUB, vrbile oven tha spectator is confused by the identity of the Dromios, ho can manage to correct his bearings by contrasting the Antipholi. Messrs. Hardie and Stnort ware weH made np to look alike, but their voices served to guido the audience in discriminating between them.

The Adriana of Miss Monk, the Luciana of Miss Rob Bon, the Duke of Mr. Little and the JCgeon of Mr. Mc Olannin were all as good as could be desired. The comedy was preceded by Planche's well known farco, "Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady," in which the honors were divided between Mr. Hardie and Miss Bolwon.

The same bill will be given through the week. ITIrs. Knox's Concert. The conceit given at the Brooklyn Music Earl, tst evening, by Mrs. Florence Rice Knox was very well attended, the programme being strictly adhered to, and almost every member being encored.

Tho hit of tho evening was made by Mrs. Knox who sang, first "Ah Pendeml quel core," by Rossi, and Sullivan's "LoBt Chord," with good effect and much feeling. "Baby Mine," which she sang for an encore of tho Becond number, was Interrupted by applause eeveral times. Mr. Fritsch, Miss Shrelner and Dr.
