ers went to that Island for a picnic. Ono of

This knavish plot was' thwarted, and there j ouhavo tho faint tingoof

melodrama that tho now piny contalnod.Thoprcpondirnnco of matter In "Ono

was sentimental lomcdy. a goodly

portion of which was In or associated with thocharacter assumed by John Drow. Onco more

this actor figured ns a man w ho deemed himselftoo old at 33 to suitably marry n girl of 18. Taki-

ng that view of tho question, Dnd aiming at herhappiness bydestrojing his own, ho honestlytried to marry her off to a young suitor. Attho same time, the girl gained from a partialknowlcdgo of tho affair between tho Major andthe gypsies tho mistaken bolicf that ho had been

a bad misbchavcr. and that this, though sholoved him, led her to cngago herself tomnrryoneforwhomsbchad no affection. Tbo MajorInsisted upon this match, and thcroln laythe fault of tho play, a lack of ado-ous-

him, that she would bo unhappy If sho marriedanother, and still ho asslstod that other, uppar-tntl- y

for ordinary friendship's sako, in bringingabout a betrothal. II w as not until sho declaredher passion In positive terms and asked himeolnt blank to bo her husband that tho curtainwas enabled to fall upon tho dcslrablo mating.

But there was much of charming sentimentsod agreeablo humor to ntono for tbo weaklogic. The author, II. V. Esmond, bad devisedand written several sccnos of both thosokinds that proved effectual In tho acting.Thoso with which Mr. Drow dealt wero ofcourso treated deftly and dlvcrtlngly Intheir lighter passages, nnd with gonulnofeeling in the emotional episodes. Thopart of tho Major may not hold a placo withsoma of its Drew predecessors, but it will befound satisfying to this actor's multitude ofadmirers and is Intrinsically praiseworthy.Hiss Irving was delightfully femlnino as tho

I wooing heroine. Miss Do Wolfo camsvery near to making nn engrossing fig-

ure of tho gypsy siren. There was acomic little boy, who mado disturbanceswith his impudences, and ho was playedcapitally by Master Henry McArdlo, ArthurBjron acquitted himself satisfactorily in thopart of the lover who finally had to step osldo,and there were ludicrous r&lesfor James O.

production were in oridonce.

Paul Llndtu's drama, "Brothers," was pro-duced last night at tho Irving Place Theatre forthe first time In this country., Itprovod to bo acarious play, which began with little promiseof Interest or Intensity and closed withtwo exceptionally powerful acts. Thoybore inch a slight relation to what had prec-

eded them that tho only explanation for the, form of the piece seemed to be found In tho fact

that it was mado from oneof its author's novels.He had selected somo of tho elements of thebook and attempted to confine them to a muchmore limited space of tlmo and yet retain thecomplete progress of the story. Thus whontho first two acts showed a young artistbetrothed against his older brother's willto an operetta singer, tho spectatorsthought this love story woul i make tho play.When the oraau. to freo herself from debt, wontto tho house of an old admirer to obtain thenecessary money from him and her betrothodlearned this from his hired spy.

A Mtivemtiat la lUlan sioo.oeo, wlih Whichto BstaMlsb a reraaaatat OrehMlrs.

A meeting for ths purpose of raising a (andwith which to establish a permanent orchestraIn New York will bo held this afternoon atIUchard Watson Gilder's resldonce. Bo ClintonDisco. New York hat no permanent orchestra,nor, for that matter, has any other Amorlcancity except Boston and Chicago. In Bostontho Bymphony Orchestra was founded by Col.Hlgglnson and It Is y not only tho bestorchestra In the country, but Is farthormoro es-

tablished on a basis. Tho Chi-cago Orchestra, which Theodore Thomas wentto Chicago to direct, la also ablo to supportttsolf now; nevertheless It receives a subsidy.

It Is proposed to put Anton Soldi at tho headof tho .projected orchestra In New York, In-deed, It was with tho purpose ot retaining himIn this city that tho movement was started.Ho recolred only a few days ago an offer of thopost of first conductor at the Boyal OperaHouse In Borlln and It Is said that lio Is Inclinedto accept it. lio will direct the Wagner festivalat Covent Garden In London durlncr the comingsummer, and soma of his admirers hero believethat ho may not return to this city. The offerreceived from Berlin was tho third that thetamo theatre has mado to Mr. Seldl since? hocame to this country. Last summer he receivednn offer from Munich and one from Budapest,and the man who expected to beoonio conductorof tho titadt Theatre at Hamburg made him aprovisional offer to go there. The Berlin offer,which carries a pension with it, is still open.

Tho dlfliculty of the work which tho project-ors of tho now permanent orchestra have under-taken mar be understood from the fact that$100,000 is tbo smallest sum with which itcould be established. It Is hoped that somowealthy New Yorker may be willing to girothat amount, or that several may unite andmake up tho necessary sum. If this hope falls,it Is proposed to invite subscrlutlons rangingfrom 81 to $10,000. It Is said that $30,000 hasalrcadr been assured to tho organizers, and theirflans for raising as much more will bo discussed,

afternoon. It is hoped that very muchmora than $100,000 may ultimately bo ob-tained, as thnt Is tho minimum sum with whichtho enterprise could be undertaken.

"Mr. Seldl Is compelled to play so much with-out rehearsals." said a friend of his yestcrdsy,"nnd has to strugglo so hard to runko his or-chestra play as well as It does that be is becom-ing exhausted under tho strain. Frequentlyafter rehearsals havo been held tho mo i willnccopt mora lucratlvo engagement for thoevening and send substitutes. The work ofgetting them through a concert under such cir-cumstances Is too trying for a conductor to en-dure, and Mr. Seldl has been compelled to putup with a great deal ot Ic this winter. Thomen cannot bo got together unless tbey are per-manently employed by an orchestra which willpay them living wages and enable them to

all their tlmo ts the one organization.Otherwise they will always go where they canget tho best compensation, whether It bo a bollor a concert. The men of the Bymphony and thoPhilharmonic orchestras frequently play at adanco after thoy have finished their work atone of these concerts or at the opera. Thoy arenot ready then to come to rehearsals in thomorning, especially if they havo to ploy In thenftornoon and possibly again in the evening.Without rehearsals their performance cannever be satisfactory. This has made Mr.Seidl's work here so difficult that, he Is inclinedto loavo this country and accept tho offer latelymado to him from Borlln unless somo arrango-mentsTca- n

bo mado by which his orchestra willbe permanent."

DR. HALL'S NEW TRUSTEES.

Ths CensrrsatUnai "celiac Was Rot Unan-imous, TUansb, When It Wns, Resolved toAppslnt a Conciliation Committee erBlshtt Reason with the Rltht Urpartlns Elders.

A meeting of tho congregation of tho FifthAvenue Presbyterian Church was held In thochurch lecturo room at o'clock yesterday af

The Itev. Dr. John Hull was tho Mod-erator and 8eth B. Itoblnson was tho Secretary.The meeting was oallod to elect trustoos to fillvacancies caused by death nnd resignation.There were present, perhaps, 150 members oftbo congregation, mostly women. Tho votingwas by ballot, and tbo polls remained open forone hour. When tho votes wero counted thofollowing persons were found to havo boenelected : ,

Samoel Thomas, to (111 ths vacancy caused by thsresignation of John 8. Kenedy.

James Taloott. to flit the vacancy caused by thedeath of James Fraaer.

Itobcrt Vf. Stuart, to fill the vacancy caused by theresignation ot Ilorace E. Oarth.

Oeorgs Frederick Viator, to nllphe vacancy causedby the resignation of John P. Duncan.

John Vf. Auchlnclou, to nil the vacancy caused bythe resignation of George O. Wheelook.

Charles P. Dritton, to fill ths vaeancy caused by thsresignation ot E. Franola Hyde.

Osorge BUas Ainow, to ffll the vacanoy caused bytho resljnatlon ot Robert n. Ilobertaon.

Each candidate received 135 votes. They hadbeen selected sovoral days ago and had agreedto run. Aftor tbe meeting wns over ono of thomembers of tho church statod that tho aggro-gat- e

personal wealth ot tho now trustees wasqulto as much as that represented by tho trus-tees who resigned, if not inoro.

During tho balloting Charles Wboclor .BarnesIntroduced n resolution providing for tho ap-

pointment of a commlttco of six towith a commlttco of two from tho ncsslon, al-

ready appointed, to assist that commlttco In Itsefforts to induca tbo eight members of sosslonwho havo resigned to reconsider their resigna-tions.

Tbo Moderator put tho resolution. Tbero wasa voluminous chorus of nyos, but, when thonoes wero called for tbero wero so many that noone could toll whether tbo resolution bad booncarried or lost. Goorgo Bliss Annew, ono ot tbenowly cloctcd trustees, called for n rising vote.This request brought forth a few remarks fromDr. Hall. Ho Bald:

"My friends, I am sure that this motion iswell intended. It is proposed in the spirit ofChristian harmony. No harm can como from

It, It mayfall ot its purpoee, but thatoes not matter. By passing It you will show

tho right spirit towanl thoso members of sessionwho havo resigned. If they ret uso to acccdo totho persuasions ot this commlttco it will not beyour fault. You will have done what youcould."

Dr. Hall's remarks wero followed by remarksIn tbe same vein from Constant A. Andrews, J.Henry Work, llobert Bonner, Francis Forbes,Samuel S. Auchincloss, and Mr. Barnes, themovor of tho resolution. From tho remarks ofthese gentlemen it became evident that tboresolution had been dlscussod by several of tholoading members of tbe congregation before themeeting. By the mlt had been determined thatthe passage ot tbo resolution was tho properthing, and tbey frankly told thoso present so.

As It by previous arrangement, thoso whospokoln favor of tho resolution, nftcr Dr. Hall,sat together on tho north sldo of tbo lectureroom. In tbelr remarks tboy talked to thowomen and tho few men present in a fatherlysort of way. For instance, Mr. Tborne said:" We want thoso members ot tbo session whohave resigned to como back. Wo want their aidand counsel, and wo want to pass this resolutionby a unanimous voto."

Mr. Auchincloss said: "When this resolutionwas determined upon. It had tho hearty np- -

Mr. Bonner nnd others. Tbe object nft is to give nsslstnnco to tho two already chosen

by tho sossion to do the same work. It may notbo possible to get tho members of tho sessionwho have resigned to reconsider tholr resigna-tions, but wo can nnd wo should try. Thoso w hohavo tho best interests of tbo church at heartfavored the introduction of this resolution andIt ought to be unanimously passed."

Mr. Bonner said: "I want to tell thoso Drescntthat tho resolution Is favored by our pastor andthat ought to be enough to secure its unanimousadoption. Now we want to get togothcr and

it. The commlttco may not succcod inolng what it is appointed to do. but we want to

make tbe attempt. When we havo done so ourresponsibility In tbo matter coases.

Then a reconsideration of tho voto was calledfor. Tho motion was put again. There were somany ayes that Dr. Hall was Iod to remark:

"The motion is undoubtedly carried unani-mously, but I must call for tho noes nsn matterof form. Those contrary minded will manifestit by saying No.' "

There was sllcnco for about ono second nndthen several determined " Noes" came from tborear of the room, followed by tbo remark of awoman that moat of those present could not failto bear. She said:

"There! I bopo they know now that somo ofus don't want tho old sosslon back on anyterms."

Tbo committee named In tbe resolution is asfollows: Samuel B. SchiofTelln, Georgo BlissAsnowr, James A. Hnwes, Samuel S. Auchin-closs, Charles Wheelor Barnes, and Joel W.Thorno. Tho two who nro to serve with thomaro Elders Bagg and Campbell.

As soon as tho motion was carried this com-mlttco retired to nn ante-roo- for a conference.It was decided that each member of tho com-mittee should take In hnnd ono of the eightelders who have resigned and talk to him. All tnocommittee will be at. work this morning. Whontbey have done all tbey can tbey will report at aspecial meeting of tho session to bo called forthat purpose. It is known that somo ot theelders cannot be prevnllod upon to reconsidertheir resignation. Dr. Hall believes that othersmay bo.

It seems that the principal reason why thovoto on tho resolution was not unnnimouswasbecause the elders who reslgnod did not performtho duties of their offlco at tho communion ser-vice on Sunday afternoon. Not one of tho eightwas prrsont at that serrlrc, and the deaconshad to do their work. In rcfcrcnco to this onoof tho congregation, after the mooting, said:

"It is truo that thoso mon resigned theirofflcos, but their resignation bavo not beonacted upon. Thoy nre. therefore, still momborsof session. Thoy Know thnt us wollns anybodyelse, nnd yet tbey refusod to tnko part in tbocommunion service. Is it any wonder thatsome of us don't want such men to assist thopastor in tbo spiritual affairs of tbo church I"

The trustees elected yesterdny are all mom-bors of the congregation of tbe church, so thntno accessions lo tho church aro mado bv theirelection. Of the trustees who reslgnod JohnS. Konnedy litis left the church nnd tnkon aletter to the Brick Church. It was said yester-day that E. Francis Hyde, who has resigned hisolllco both as trustco and as elder, has loft thochurch, but has not yet asked for his letter. Ofthe sosslon it was nlso said that Malcolm Gra-ham, Alexandor Maltlnnd, nnd Jntnos It. Josuphave asked forthalrlctters. It is stated that allthese aro going to tho Brick Church.

WORK ON ST. JOUN'S TUE Dlf'INE.

Goad Prasress .Made Purine tbe Winter In theConstruction or the Cathedral.

Work on tho Cathedral of St. John tho DIvinohas progressed rapidly during tho open weatherof this" winter. It was In March, 1802, that itwas decided to begin tho construction of tbochoir, which, it was expected, would bo readyto bo dedicated on St. John's Day, Dec. 27, 1805.Various circumstances delayed tho work, sothat y only a small portion has been done,but tho towcr-llk- o piles of masonry havo beengrowing steadily during tho Inst fow months,and now they begin to givo somo Idea of thoproportions of tbo great structure for whichCnthcdrnl Heights has been n.mcd.

Of tho four corner columns of the main por-

tion of tho building, which nro under wny, throohavo been carried up to a nclght of about sev-enty feet. Eight abutting! piers nro nlso Incourso of construction, of which thrco nro upabout seventy feet and five about fifty foct. Thocorner columns nre twenty-on- e feet thrco Inchesthick at tho top nnd tho piers Tare about halfthnt size. Tho material is a Maine granite,wnlch Is landed from schooners at tbo foot of123th street and taken to tho Cathodrul ontrucks. Here tbo Btones nre handled on a tram-way that runs down between tbo columns, andby six Inrgo boom derricks, four of which standon top of tho columns.

Only tho cores of these columns have beencompleted, and thoir exteriors nre left rougnin order that tho cement behind tho finishingcourses ot stono may tnko a firm hold. In onoplace a few outer courses wero laid about nmonth ngo. to give tho stone's weathering prop-erties a fair test. Tho stono so tried Is a snna-ston- o

from W Isconsln. which is light drnb incolor, nnd has n hard, pitted surface. If thisstone stands tho ten it is now undergoing itwill pobably bo used for tho cxtorior of the en-tire structure.

Tho twelve columns nre'by no means all thatIs under wny. Sovernl abutments about tbomain body of Uho Cnthcdrnl have been stnrtsd,nnd all too heavy masonry of tho choir properis completed to tho lev ol of tho first water table,a height of twenty feet nbovo' the concretofoundations. There nro in place twenty piersto support the wnlls ot tho choir. Thoy nre intwo rows. Two archop connect the first threopiors of the Inner row on each Bide, and thoother fourteen stnnd ten feet apart and form adouble half circle. There are two more pierson each sido of tho choir connoc'.cd by an arch.These, with tho first two piers of tho outerrow surrounding tho choir, will bo continuedinto two of tho four towers which will Hank thocentral lantern of tho completed cathedral.

Tho masslvcness nnd strength of tho workcompleted impress nil visitors. At first sightthecolumns seem unnecessarily large, especiallywhere surmounted, ns, Ihey nro now. ty tbowhite derricks. This effect will disappearwhen tho great arches spnn tho spaces betweentho columns and tbo buttressed towers reachtbelr final height.

Twcnty-flv- o or thirty men. under E. P. Rob-erts, the contractor, nro nt work every doy thoweather permits, nnd it is hoped that tho bigarches will bo In placo In another year.

and Boys Whan finally Smitten brn Palter It I.rnnotl rrem a Wlndaw nrvlved the Pall Only lo ale Shot by a Blneroat.

Somebody's big gray cat cams to a mostgrlovous end after a brief but riotous experi-ence on Broadway yesterday afternoon, Thocat mado Its nppcaranco at tho northwost cor-ner of Broadway and Prlnco streot at 3 o'clock.It had Just escaped a mob of small boys, whodcslrod to compare its actions under certainconditions with those of a yellow dog tbat hadbeen in captivity for somo hours, nnd looked nsthough It would bo glad of a'chance to commitsuicide if it could only got away long onough toattend to tho job. The conditions wero a to-

mato a combination, and having dodgedthe humiliating experience tho cat, somonhatflustered, sat down on tho edge of the curb torest.

A passing messengor boy stopped on its tall,and with a wall that would havo earned ashower of shoes In a resident district at night,tho cat mado a loop out Into tho road. A pass-ing truck horso put Us fore foot into a soft spotand tho mud flow Into tbo cat's eyes. Thon arablo car grlpman jumped on his bell with bothfcot, and tho cat leaped aside just In time toescape being crushed to death.

"Scat, yon brutel" yollcd a giant of thoBroadway squad, kicking at Iho cat.

Tho cat returned to the corner a bit bewil-

dered. Tbo boys with tho yellow dog came run-ning up thon with shouts of trlumpn, and oncemore tho cat ran out Into tho road. Tho police-man Isworo at It, truckmen flicked at It withtheir whips, nnd aripmen rang their bells atit, until It lost its bcnrlngs and bogan runningaround In circles. A dozen tlmos It escapedtrucks and cars by a few Inches, nnd flnully Itdashed under a woman's aklrt and got so mixedup in llngerlo tbat It almost knocked tho womandown in Its offorts to oxtrlcate Itself.

The policeman came to tholrcscuo ot tho wo-man, who stood waving both hands ovor horhead and seemed on tho vorgo of a faint. Hohatted .ho cat twice ovor the bead with his rat-tan stick, nnd then cariiod tho woman over totho wost sidewalk. Tho cat went east, frothingat tho mouth and with an unholy glare In Itsyellow eyes.

It reached tho sldowalk, but thero was stillno pence for it. Its demoralized appearancecombined with tho sharp cries It emitted, gavotho Impression to passorsby that It was mad.There wore shouts of "Mad cntl" nnd "Wildcat!" and a great scattering of peoplo Ono ortwo valorous persons madefpassos at tho crea-ture with their feet, nnd In sheer desperationtho cat mado for tho only cover in Bight.

This happened to bo the big building at thonorthcnstlcorncr of Broadway and Prlnco street.Tho cat dlBaupoarcd Into tho dark recesses oftho hall, and Broadway forgot It for tbo tlmobeing.

On tho sixth floor ot tho building Is tho neck-wear establishment of Flclscb & Co. Thofirm's offices and salesrooms are In front; In theroar is tbo workroom, whore about fifty girlsare cmployod. Tho girls wero busy nt theirwork, when suddenly ono of them emitted apiercing shriek nnd jumped to her feet, scatter-ing scissors, neckties, ncedlos, and thread inevery direction. Grabbing her skirts she madoa rush down tho room, whllo tho other girlsturned palo and prepared for almost anythingto happen.

In the middlo ot tho room Btood a cat. thathad onco been gray. It was n rich mud colorjust then. It yolped Uko a dog In a At. andtbero was a baleful gleam In tbo yellow cyowhich remained open. Ono ear was up, theother down, tho hairs on Its back wcro bristlingllko wires, nnd its tail, which swished threaten-ingly from sldo to sido, was as big around as aman's leg.

It ndvnncod cautiously. With tho first moveenmo shrieks from every corner of tho work-room. A big pair of shears whistled throughtho air and struck tho cat over Its swollen oye.Tho shot Is credited to Mary Doyle, who Isknown to her companions as Penchy Gray Eyes.Tho cat laid It to Pouchy, any wry, for with asnarl It mnde a lean nt the young woman. Sheducked under n table, nnd tho cnt lnndod In abundle of neckties. Before Itcould rxtrlcato itself n shower of missile" ofvarious kinds lnndod on it.

HcrowaH wnero tho cat changed Itsmodo offighting.- - It bad becn'gctting It most consist-ently in tho neck dcsplto tho flno lino of

piny it had made. It rcsolvod to do alittlo offcn'-lv- scrapping, and for Qvo minutesthoro HUB pundomonlum In tho workroom.Salesmen nnd members of tho firm csme run-ning ha:k to eco what wns tho matter, only toAnd tho air full of spool silk, nnd scissors, thegirls on tables and undor tables and somethingdark dnshing madly around tho room utteringuncanny cries nnd tossing neckties In everydirection. When tho dork thing canto tholr;ny they retired in i hurry nnd tho thing didn'tfollow, having enough business on its band nsit wns.

The ond enmo suddenly. One of tho girlssho was ton modest to gtv o her name to a re-porter who railed nt tho etoro -- grabbed a poker,nnd when tho cat enmc her way sho smoto it Inn fashion most disheartening to threat. That

convinced it that Broadway with itscoppers. Its clanging bells, mud and

gcnornl confusion wns n better placo than thonecktlo factory with iti, Bhrioking girls, nnd 1;put for tho street ns fast as It could. Unfortu-nately for itself It choxa nn exit through tbewindow and soon found ltscif sailing throughspnec.

Six stories of a Broadway skyscraper is qulton fall oven for n cat. This cat landed on themerciless cobblo stones nnd lny tbero unable tomove, but still vociferous nnddefinnt. Thoglnnt of the Broadway squad ran up.

"Oho! you're bnck again, nro youi" ho said,nnd then ho pulled out his revoh cr nnd sent abullet through its head.

Mr. Pldcock, it is said by eyewitnesses, turnedsharply upon Hurling and ordered him to godown to his office to transact his business.

Hurling lingered until Mr. Pldcock con-cluded his conversation with his friend, whenhe again approaohed and protostod that ho hadno time to go to Mr. PJdcock's office, Tbo storiesof tbe oyewitnosses of what followod are con-flicting, but agree that Mr. Pldcock struck thonegro. When Hurling recovered ho attaokodtho railroad man, and would havo overpoworcdhim had not Pldcock jumped upon him andklckod him until ho was exhausted. Tho by-

standers wero Incensed. A number of thonegroes threatened to mob Pldcock, who re-

treated to the railroad station, nnd took thofirst train for Morrlstown.

Hurllng's condition angerod tho negroes, whodetermined to lynch Pldcock It ha return cd hero.A mob of ISO nogroes gathered around tho sta-tion to Intercept Pldcock, who had sent wordfrom Morrlstown that ho would return on thoevening train.

"Irthore Is any man hero who wants to domo. let blm stop out, and I will blow him."

The lynching plan of tho mob was abandoned.Just at this juncture n constablo tappod Pld-cock on tbo shoulder and told him that ho wasunder arrest on complaint of Hurling. Pldcockoffered no resistance, nnd with gun In hnndwalked to the ofllco of Justlco Schomp. whereha was discharged. Tho action ot the Justicefurthor Incensed the mob, who swore vengeanceon Pldcock. Ho backed out of tho office andwalked up tho street with bis gun on hisshoulder. lie reachod his homo unharmod.Yestorday ho accompanied his family to church,but tbo thirst for vengoanco among tho negroescontinues, and It is said thnt It will require ex-treme watchfulness on tbo part of Pldcock andhis friends to protect him from harm.
