THE OMAHA DAILY NEE : TJ1FRKDAY , SEPTEMltEH 24 , 189G. TPT T tin /MHtTPIP 4VVXTPf TELL MR , CARLISLE AT ONCE Dare Mercer's Advice to the Transmissis- sippi Exposition President. HOW TO GET THE APPROPRIATION AT WORK I'rcxciit the Lint of Stock Suliierlhcr to tin- Secretary of tlic Treasury mid I lie I'reMlilont'M Procla mation Will Follow. WASHINGTON , Sept. 23. ( Special Tele gram. ) Hoiircscntntlvo Mercer today rcpllci to n letter from President Wattles of the Transmlsslsslppl and International Exposl tlon association as to the course to bo pur sued In acquainting the Treasury depart ment with tlio fact that the amount ncccs sary to ho raised for the exposition has been subscribed. In his letter Mr. Mercer re views the bill and Its provisions as to gov ernment liability , and the proof to be made to the secretary of the treasury as to cred- liability of stock subscriptions. Ho thei says : "In order that the provisions of this oct may be compiled with , It Is suggested by Mr. Haralln , acting secretary of the treasury , that the president of the Trans mlsslsslppl nml International Exposition as soclatlon corporation transmit to Hon. John O. Carlisle , secretary of the treasury , a ccr- tlflod statement over the signature of the treasurer of said corporation , showing In dc tall amount of subscriptions of stock con tributions , donations and appropriations from all sources , which inalco up the aggre- Eato sum of not less than $250,000 , am't timl the president of said corporation certify that the same hnvo been made In good faith. Upon receipt of such proofs , the department will determine whether anything further Is required. Although thcro is nothing In the act providing that the president of the United States shall make an announcement by proclamation that the association has com piled with the terms of law , I am. Inclined to think that after the government Is thor oughly satisfied that at least $250,000 has been raised In bona fldo subscriptions , and the law strictly compiled with In that par ticular , wo will hnvo little trouble In ob taining from 1'rcaldcnt Cleveland a proclam ation satisfactory to all concerned. I sug gest that ccrtllled proofs be forwarded to the Treasury department as soon as possi ble , so that the world may know that the exposition Is an assured fact. " FRANCIS AND TUB PACIFIC ROADS.

The Treasury department has received official confirma'- tlon of the report of the arrest of Joseph N. Wolfson of Nnw Orleans In connection with the Union National bank defalcation of 130,000. It Is said that Mr. Wolfson's ac count with the hank was opened In 18ftO and continued until 1894. It Is stated at the Treasury that the trouble with this bank , as with others In New Orleans no doubt could bo traced to the pernicious Influence of the old Louisiana lottery.

After all , there Is nothing that quite equals a fine orchestra. What wealth of tone-color. what nhadlngs , what Mendings , what In finite variety. Those silver-voiced violins : how they twine themselves about our very souls. At Hoyd's theater , yesterday afternoon and last evening , the Chicago Festival orchestra , under the direction of Mr. Adolph Roscn- beckcr , made Its first appearance In this city. The conductor Is a musician of marked ability and wide experience. He has the rare faculty of selecting rhythms that are actually contagious , and that bring one Into sympathy with him and his music. His players are all well trained In the routine of their Instruments and of ensemble playIng - Ing , and have certainly pleased the fortunate few who heard them. The two programs afforded a large choice In kinds of music , and each selection was Dlavcd with an Interpretation In strict ac cordance with Its nature. Some of the scores were reduced from their original , as the orchestra contained only one oboe , two French horns and no corno Inglrse and bass clarinet ; but they were rarely missed. One of the most Interesting numbers was tho. "Peer Gjnt Suite , " No. 1 , by Grieg. The great Norwegian tried to write an opera. He knew nothing , In a practical way , of the stage , and chose n fairy story which It was Impossible to perform. The music Is supremely beautiful , anil the orches tration shows the Influence of the great mas ter , nichard Wagner. Too bad , Grieg did not follow Wagner further and study the stage , and Its necessities. The famous "Largo , " composed by Handel , as a contralto solo , has been arranged for organ , plnno , violin , cello and orchestra by many musi cians , but Mr. Iloscnbcckcr has held his own with any of them In the arrangement played yesterday afternoon , Mr. Harry Dlmond , leader of the violins and soloist , Is n young man of marked ability and great technique. This he showed , not only In the "Largo , " but In his solo In the evening , when he quite astonished his audience with the bril liancy of his playing. The only trouble with Mr. Dlmond is that he has a way of pullIng - Ing up his trousers midway to his knees , and thcro Isn't crescendo enough to his ankles to make a really artistic effect. Another soloist this time a would-be who deserves mention , Is the man who wields the drum and cymbals. Ho must be an old-timer , fo ho seems to Imagine that ho Is playing ti King Solomon's band , and that now , as then he Is the leader. A drum Is a nice thing to look at , but only great artists can get an > music out of It. Mrs , A. Sophia Markcc Is a soprano singe of considerable ability , and is In the pas session of a good , rich voice. She was quit Indisposed yesterday , and Is said not tc have done herself Justice. Her singing cor talnly lacked vitality and fire , and she seemcc constantly to be saving herself. Her natura predisposition for mad scenes was not Ir evidence. The orchestra was the star , and was mos enjoyed and applauded. It Is unfortunate that Its advent hero was so little advertised for the attendance was pitifully small There were about 400 persons at the matinee and In the evening not so many. The re maining 150,000 citizens of Omaha were about those affairs which can be given at tention at any time. A great orchestra Is a rare visitor among us ; we should , for our own sakcs , give It a cordial welcome. In conversation with the managers for Scldl Thomas and Damrosch , the writer has been told that to them Omaha Is an unknown country , Into which they are willing to come only upon a guarantee. There Is more en joyment to be had In listening to good music than to bad. An orchestra Is not an ( in strument of torture , descended from the In quisition of the middle ages. It Is the great est musical instrument that 400 years ol musical progretts has produced. It Is to bo hoped that Mr. Itosenbecker will come among us again , and that ho will bo received as such an organization as ho directs deserves. The two performances of "The Mikado" as presented by the Columbia Opera company at the Crelghton yesterday apparently suc ceeded In thoroughly pleasing the auditors. "La Mascotto" will bo the bill for tonight's performance. / The announcement is made of the return of the BlUner Theater company to the Boyd for three nights commencing Friday next with matinees Saturday and Sunday. "Friends" will bo presented Friday night. At the Saturday matlneo , when the twelve beautiful dolls , now on exhibition In Drown ing , King & Co.'s window , will bo given away , "Undo Tom's Cabin" will be the bill. Saturday night and Sunday matinee , "Light ning Express. " Sunday night "Tho Ticket o' Leave Man. " Seats will be placed on sale this morning at 0 o'clock. Chauncoy Olcott will present his new play , "Tho Irish Artist , " at the Crelghton Sunday , September 27 , opening a four night en gagement. In the role of Morris Cronln , Mr. Olcott gives us a specimen of what may bfi done In refined Irish comedy. All of the characters Imvo been assigned to the most capable players and arc In competent Imnds. The costuming has been attended to with reference to historical correctness and the scenery used Is not only appropri ate , but Is a triumph of the scenic artist's skill. "Mavourneen" nnd "Tho Minstrel of Claro" will also be presented during the engagement. During Julia Marlowo-Tabcr's engagement at the Uoyd on October 1 , 2 and 3 , "Ilomala , " a dramatization of Gcorgo Kllot's great lovcl , will bo presented at ono of the por- 'urmances at least. This play has achieved ho greatest success and is pronounced ono of the best things given to the stage n many years. A full announcement of the plays for the entire engagement will be nado later In these columns. ' Not Omaha alone , but the surrounding owns should by no means fall to avail heniBclvcs of the opportunity of seeing Mr. Uichard Mansfield in his entire reper- olre , presented at the Crelghton during ho week opening October C. For many of the adjacent towns this is certainly the Irst and best chance of seeing this actor n many of the parts that ho has made fa mous , as well as in the Shakespearean re > vivals. Arrangements have been made for special excursion rates for the occasion , and ' t will be possible ) for playgoers from the lolghborhood to spend the entlro week In Omaha at very Ilttlo expense , and they should certainly do their best to co-operate with the friends of tlio drama In this clly o make Mr. Mansflold's engagement here a dramatlo festival long to bo remembered.

Ho had attracted the attention o the marshal , whose suspicions were In creased when the fellow attempted to trade an old revolver for some thing to eat. Then Marshal Craig steppe up to him and placed him under arrest. II began searching his prisoner , and had dls covered two new razors. Suddenly th prisoner drew two revolvers , one from cacli of his coat pockets and ordered Marsha Craig to throw up his hands. Without wait Ing for tlio marshal to comply he fired on of the re\olvers. The bullet entered the marshal's head at the base of the brain. Only two persons witnessed the crime Hey Patchln , who had charge of the luncli counter , and Oscar Morgan , a citizen , wh hail been deputized by the marshal as a temporary assistant. As soon as the tram ) ] fired the fatal shot he sprang for the dee ; before the two witnesses could make a niovi to Intercept him. BEATRICE. Neb. , Sept. 23. ( Spccia Telegram. ) Three suspects were arrcstei here yesterday under suspicion of being con nectcd with the Table Hock murder.
