This company has never been in this
city. It is quite popular in the South,
having eiven entertainments in its chief
cities. It is on this trip filling engage

the highest estimate of the excellence of
the company. The Atlanta Constitution
says: 'T . v;.:
"It is difficult in a short notice to dq
anything like justice to an entertainment
so thoroughly excellent as is that of the
Schubert Quartette. It is hardly an ex
aggeration to say that of all musical en

seen this is the best. Every performer
is a true artist, the programme is well

cial Services on Sunday Last. "
All the services on Sunday Jwere un
usually well attended.- '
The muse of the "choir, assisted by
members of Prof. Miller's orchestra, was
as charming as it was cburcbly. The ser
mon referred to the work done, progress
made .and success achieved by pastor
and people in the ten years gone. .
In the sermons, of which regular out
lines cannot be given for want of space.
the following was presented: - w '
The Lutheran - Church- of the United
States is growing at a surprisingly rapid
rate; in the last 17 years she has doubled
her numbers : -.: , ' ' . ;. .' '

Church life and church .work in this
city were next spoken of in the following
fine tributes: " - :;
Rev. Dr. Mendelsohn, the gifted and
scholarly man of so many noble traits of
character, and an honored friend, is still
in charge of a flock of that people to
whom we are both ; directly, under. God,
indebted for; our holy religion to a large
part," and j weall honor - him. ' His
flock has made', steady ( progress in
these years! Following in historical
order we come to the Roman Catholic
Church, which has secured a pipe organ
and erected an elegant parsonage for its
priests" Father Gross was in charge ten
years and ; be was : succeeded by Rev.
Father Moore; both good men ; and do
ing a good work in their flocks. -I have
met them and heard of their being in
the houses of the poor,' in hospitals, etc.
doing the Lord's work.
Next in order comes our Church, the
mother Church ot , Protestantism ; but
it will be considered later. ' , ' " i
"St. James' Episcopal Church was led
oy Kev. Ur. Watson, a. noble, conse
crated man of God, who has since been
honored ' with another position - and
office. - His life and. labors in ' this city
tor so many years has done all churches
good, as the settled ministry ever must
give power1 and influence 'to the pulpit
and the church. 1
"bt. James Unurcn has made some
fine improvements and additions in its
old historic building.
"St. John s Episcopal Church was
served bv Rev. Dr. Patterson, who left
early in 1882, and has. bad several ex
cellent rectors. It has erected recently
a fine two-htory school house, for 'paro
chial purposes. ' .. y . .
bt. Paul s ; Lpiscopal Church was
served by that genial, kind and pleasant
rector. Rev. Mr. . Ambler. It has had
several changes;has been much improved
in appearance both internally and exter
nally, -j-'.--r-V;-' :-'' y : . ' r
Rev. J Dr." Wilson was pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church. Dr. Wilson
was a man he was a man in every
sense of the word physically, mentally,
and in spiritual life. He was .scholarly,
liberal-minded and conservative. His
departure; was a loss, not only to his
church, but to our city. This church
has made very nice . and . beautiful im
provements in its interior, , and has
started a fine mission. ' : ; .
' "The " Second Presbyterian Church
had for its Dastor that kind-hearted,
genial man.Dr. ' Payne, whom many
still honor and love until this day. He
was conservative, faithful in every de
partment, and : worthy - of all honor;
This church has erected a handsome
house of worship. ;: ' '
Genial, gentle, loving Dr. Taylor, was
in charge of the First Baotist Church.
Many remember him with pleasure. This
church has been much improved; a large
pipe organ secured and a parsonage pur
chased; an elegant addition is being
built to the rear of the church for, Sun
day school and other purpose, much to
tbe credit . of my kind neighbor and
friend, its earnest and able pastor. Rev.
Dr. Pntchard. I believe they also as
sisted in starting the Brooklyn Baptist
Church. i -

How well we can remember, and how
well the disastrous fire on that February
Sunday; that destroyed it. Rev. Dr.
Wood, . a kind-hearted, quiet, devoted
minister was in charge, and shortly after
my arrival Rev. Dr. Yates, the most
scholarly, most conservative and most
able minister the Methodists have had
heretin ' the ten ' years, took charge.
Very wisely : this 'congregation changed
the', location, and like the Lutherans,
gave its church a name appropriate for
a church, and Grace Church -graces one.
of our best streets. "At 'the time ot the
fire we offered this congregation the use
of this ' church or. t Luther " Memorial
buildings biit our Jewish , friends were
an hour ahead ot us.'w;:'

Fifth Street Church was that noble, en
ergic, popular friend. Rev. Mr, Ricaud,
whom our city honors and loves to this
day, and whose son is our CityMayor.

a beautiful brick structure, which with
St. Mark's Lutheran ' Chureht of Char

"Well do I remember the beginning of
Bladen Street Church. and how Ipreach
ed for Rev. Mr." Tuttle in a small one
story grocery store to a little band of
people that now have a church of their
own. ' - ; -
. ."Thus we see, dearly, beloved, that
church work all over the city has gone
forward, andT- surely . this - retrospective
view is pre-eminently interesting. , I
"In closing this second view I will
not forget - or overlook one whose doc
trine I do not understand, but who. too,
has gone ahead in church work, and has
mide considerable improvements in his
neat little church I mean Elder King.
1 must express my admiration for him
as a man, for bis pure and Christian life.
"With pleasure ; I give expression to
these kind words and views regarding
the church life and church work and
pastors of our city, for however we may
differ'' in opinions.' doctrines and cus
toms; we should ever recognize and ap
preciate what is right and good and true
in our fellow-men, and in, what they say
and do in carrying on the work of God."
The workof St. Paul's Church was
next considered at ; length, both in . its
material interests : and its congrega
tional characteristics. - - I '
"The church has a new carpet, new
vestibule, ' ceiling, matting) etc.V new
covered cushions, finely frescoed "walls
and; Ceilings, an .elegant new clock,
grand new chandeliers, new- baptismal

plush mountings in the choir lolt, and a
grand new pipe organ, the. handsomest
in the city, and as sweet toned as any
in the State. ; Everything in the church
is new or made new., The parsonage
has been painted and completed in the
interior, rooms papered, etc. .
E!egant Luther Memorial Building
has been erected and its interior supplied
with a new organ, new piano, chairs, etc.
Qur grand ' Mission Chapel has been
erected and equipped - and . the - lot it
stands on purchased. . : ; C .i :
"Besides this all, we have furnished
and fitted up in elegant manner a room
in the City Hospital. H ; " ; " :
Our "church work has' gone forward.
We have 403 members, 228 in our Sun
day school, and In our mission about 100.
"All societies connected with the
church are in fine condition and are do
ing good, and our Parochial school is a
fine success. '
"During those ten years 171 have been
added by letter and 134 by confirmation
to tbe communicant membership, or a
total of 305; besides this, 190 children by
baptism and 12 adults, or a grand total
of 507. We have one young man study
ing for the ministiy. The baptized and
confirmed members of tbe " Church in

for that which is needed in every church.

OPERA HOUSE. , -
One of the Grandest "Vocal Concerts of the
:. Season. :
. ..... " .
A grand: vocal concert was given at
the Opera House last night for the bene
fit ot the First Baptist Sunday School,
by a number of our best amateur vocal
talent and others.1 which proved to be a
grand success and one of the most en
tertaining occurrences of the season. : -
Many of the participants were pleased
ar beyond all expectation and "covered
themselves with glory." indeed. -
Long before the time ior commence
ment the house was crowdedalmost to
its utmost, and all went . away . much
pleased with the entertainment.
The audience was principally a musi
cal one, and that they knew how to ap
preciate good music was soon evident
from the rapturous applause and encores
which greeted the singers as they succes
sively appeared and rendered their se-
ections. , -. . '. .. '
The programme was commenced by an
opening chorus, which rendered in ap
propriate style that inspiring "piece.
Hail to Thee, Liberty." The chorus
was composed of Mrs. Thorburn and
Misses Schwarz, Whitney and Stolter as
sopranos ; Mrs. ; Calder, Mrs. ' Muse,
Misses Annie and Elsie Calder as con
traltos ; Messrs. Cooper, Baker and
Betts as tenors, and Manning,. . Holdeh,
Bowden and Alderman, as bass.
The chorus was followed by Miss
Macks, singing- "Good-Night, Sweet
Dreams," . Miss Macks has an extremely
sweet and expressive voicend delighted
her bearers to no small degress.
Next came Compana's v duet, "The
Moonlight Stream," by Mrs. Calder,
soprano and Miss Calder, contralto,
which was sweet indeed. ....
Mrs. J. W. Thorburn added to the de
light of the audience by singing a beau
tiful Italian solo. "Mariquita," and in re
sponse - to a deafening encore gave
Coming through the Rye", in a new
version, which became well the soft and
beautiful voice of the singer. !
Next on the ptogramme was a duet
by f Miss Annie Stolter, : soprano,
and ; Mr. Alex. S. Holden. . bass.
The reputation of these two Wilmington
singers was well sustained. Miss Stolter
has lost none of her sweet voice and
graceful manners, while - Mr. Holden
seemed bent on shaking the confines of
the lower regions. . - ; ; 1 ' .
Mr. M. F. Manning next appeared, and
with his well known rich and clear bass
voice rendered that impressive solo,
Hybnas, the Creton." , ; jv
The Quartette, from "Rose Maiden,"
by Mrs. Thornburn. Mrs. Muse, '" Prof.
Baker , and Mr.' A. S. Holden, was
splendid. , .
The most taking hit of the evening
was the solo, "The Red Umbrella,"
sung bv little Miss Elsie Calder. She
was encored several times.
Then camewhat the audience most
eagerly waited for the appearance of
Wilmington's sweetest . singer Miss
Schwartz, who with her usual grace and
sweetness contributed that beautiful and
touching solo "Heaven hath shed a tear.1
Mrs. and Mr. Calder sang a duet, "A.
B. C which created much merriment
among the audience. '
v Prof. John Baker's solo, "Queen of
my Heart," which he sang with precision
and earnestness, was much admired
. Then came the grand finale. "Oh hail
us ye free," sung by twenty-five . voices.
The concert, upon the whole, was one
of rare occurrence, being good and
worthy of praise from beginning to end.
It is sincerely hoped that more of such
entertainments will soon be on the
boards. -The accompanists of the even
ine were Mrs. W. F. . Williams, Miss
Eliza Adrian and Prof. I. H. Greene

boilers and engines were shipped Satur
day and are expected here in a few days.
The planting of pols, under the direc- .
tion of; Mr. Lassell; has been finished,
and it is ' a piece of good work.

Cross to Mulberry. ; ' -
The work on Front street will now be
rapidly pushed, and by to-morrow night

to the stables the horse-cars consequent- '
ly will run no more, andthere will be no
streetcars run in this city until the new
line is finished. .
The tracks for the dummy line on
Nutt ' street have been laid as far as
Walnut street. The rails ior the dummy
engine track and the track which is
being laid on Front street, are as large
as the average reeular railroad rails
which weigh sixty pounds twice the
weight of the old rails. The ties have
been bedded on Castle street. .-

Nun streets will be moved and switches
