The inclemency of the weather last evening prevented many who other wise would have done so from attending the concert given by the New York Philharmonic club at the People's church. The organization is well known in this city, having visited here before and given entertainments, which, however, have never equaled the one of last night. This in every respect was one of the most enjoyable musical events of the season. The company in cludes Eugene Weiner, the renowned flute virtuoso, who is director; Sol Mar cosson, violin virtuoso; Carl Barth, violoncello; Frank S. Porte, George F. Saner, viola soloist; 5. Elklind, double bass, and Miss Marion S. Weed, vocal soloist. "Ir-H Miss Weed is a delightful addition to the organization. Her singing is beau tiful. She has a magnificent mezzo soprano voice of unusual quality, and her numbers were all of -an exception ally pleasing character. She responded to enthusiastic encores, once by singing lhat charming little song "1 Know a Little Girl, But 1 Won't Tell Who." Disappointing as it must have been to be received by so small an audience, all the members of Ihe club were at their best. Eugene NYiuer's Mute solos were enthusiastically received by the audi ence, which, iiioiii.li small, lacked noth ing in the way of appreciation, and he was twice tecalled. Other solo numbers on a programme replete with interest ing features u ere a violoncello solo by Carl Barth, a violin solo by Sol Marcos sun, several uumlers by the club as a whole, closing with a rhapsodic by Liszt.

MEET WEDNESDAY TO SISN THE TRANSCRIPT^ '.%■ LAVALLEE ANSWERS BI'RNS The Commissioner Denies Em phatically Giving I turns Au thority to Make Krasures; Also the Heifer Story and Shedding Tears — Matter Will Soon Be in the Governor's anils. At the opening of the Burns investio gation yesterday Mr. Burns again took the stand aud identified the delinquent list of personal property taxes as turned over to the clerk of the court for 1890. The list covers sixty odd pases of legal cap, and embraces about 1,830 names. From this list 052 names had been erased in. lead pencil, principally small sums, with no record of any kind as to why they were erased or on whose authority. The taxes were almost .invariably less than **"", many of them less than $1, and the presumption is that all were prop erly canceled; but the 'claim of Burns was that iv order to check what seemed to. be irregular lie had instituted the plan of initialing,. in order to fix .he re sponsibility, aud that he not only In itialed but made a record and pub lished the record of those stricken off by him. Clerk of the Court O'Connor was called to testify that Burns iirst spoke to him about it. but his testimony was not conclusive on that point, lie also wanted it done for the protection of his office. Burns may have mentioned it first. At any rate the plan was agreed upon before the list in question went into his hands. He had not instructed Bedding to call v Burns and ask him to initial those stricken otf by him. Lavallee also claimed that the initialing was in stituted by him for the protection of the committee. All conceded that the matters had previously been conducted in a loose and irresponsible manner. O'Connor Identified the list from which the 052 names had been stricken in 1890 as the one filed with his office. Mr. Johns offered fifty-two witnesses to prove that they were able to pay the taxes which had been can celed by the commissioners, embraced on the list of canceled taxes for 1892; but the chairman ruled out the evi dence, though Mr. Edgerton declined to object, and Mr. Lavallee urged them to put in the testimony, as the committee was ready for the fullest investigation. In rebuttal, Mr. Lavallee denied that he had the conversation testified to by Burns, or any such conversation at any time. Denied that he plead for himself or family or cried, but admitted that he had a conversation with Burns, and that he called him aside in the vault and told him that he had borne his slanders and insinuations as long as he intended to do so. and that they must stop. He denied that there was a Jer sey heifer iv the conversation; said he did get a heifer from Hill In exchange for another about four years ago and before the road mentioned by Burns in his testimony was talked "of. He denied being in Burns' office that morning before the meeting of the board; denied having directed Burns to strike off any of the names; denied having any knowledge as to the names having been stricken off until about three weeks ago; denied Burns having, or having been given authority to strike off even those names abated by the state auditor; he swore that Jessrang and Egan were either mistaken or their testimony was willful perjury when they said he was there; .wore that Seaunell's was false. lie explained in detail where he was and what he did that morning, and declared that it was in the * commissioners' room that the name of Gueren was stricken off, and at the suggestion at that time of Commis sioner Seng. It tv as initialed in black ink because he had laid aside his red ink pen and took up another for the purpose. He said that Jessrang talked with him about names two weeks betore this. He was positive that all the names in blue pencil were erased after the list left his hands, and that he never knew of it until three weeks ago. He denied that he had raised or lowered assessments for personal considerations; said ho found Tibbils, coiner Fourth and Cobert, with a sworn return, claim ing only $300 valuation. He raised his assessment to 55.000 and Tibbils never kicked, but said he was glad they did not raise it more; said Tibbils was car rying a stock of $20,000. Wright, Bar rett & St dwell were on tlie returns for $2,700 and he raised .their assessment to $27,000. He knew more about the abatements made to the wholesale houses thau he cared to tell; could give them other instances of raised' assess ments as the result of his action if they wanted it, and defied them to show any corrupt action. On cross-examination he' denied that he .had given the auditor instructions to strike off the abated taxes; denied his -authority -to do so without the authority of the board; denied that he had any authority even in case of pay ments of duplicate assessments, and admitted that it was the duty of the clerk of court to enter the judgments if .not stricken off on the list as given to him, and that judgment would have been entered in these cases even where the taxes had been paid. He admitted that most of the names stricken off the list by Burns were improperly on the ist, and that he would have had them stricken off by the board if his attention had been called to them. Asked if he intended to use physical force when he called Bums aside in the vault, he said he did not; but if Burns had two arms he would be disposed to stop his slanders by physical force if necessary. Burns, interrupting, insisted that he would be enough for him even with one arm. He denied that he instigated these charges against Burns or any other charges or caused him or his associates any trouble through any proceedings instigated by him. He said he did hold up the bills of the board of control for in vestigation, and refused to o. k. bills for potatoes at $1 per bushel when they were bought in the market at 45 cents. The board thought a contract was in existence which com pelled them to pay $1 per bushel, but he convinced them that there was not. They did not buy ice of him. He said his interest in the ice company was $150 and a salary of $100 per month, but ad mitted that Eastern parties held an in terest for him as collateral. He ad mitted that McDermott and McDermott & Kinsella were customers of the ice company, but he did not secure them as customers. He swore that he was not an enemy of Burns, and would be glad to be on friendly terms with every one, .and with him if he could be, but Burns had slandered him. He said to the Globe reporter at the conclusion that aside from the taxes stricken off without proper authority there was nothing wrong except as to McDermott, McDer mott & Kinsella and Lauer, and if Burns had been at all reasonable a sat isfactory explanation could have been made as to these names, and he in tended to explain them when these pro ceedings commenced. _ The case is closed, except that the commission meets next Wednesday at 10 o'clock to have the witnesses sign the evidence when it shall have been transcribed, and to review it. The results of the investigation show THE SArerr PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TIITTESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, J 894.- . that this year four names have come* to tiie attention of the public that were improperly stricken from the rolls, no reason existing therefor, except that in one tiiere was mani festly a duplicate assessment. The total amount of four in dispute is *?8_.30. O'Leary's, embraced in the charges, would have been stricken off on his affidavit. At most there is nothing in the whole racket, except that C. J. McDermott, tuxed -on one assessment $21.27 and an other $10.83, and again with McDermott & Kinsella, ff^9.33, and Andrew Lauer, "J*".**, may have been in part or wholly erroneously canceled. PIIKTTY MUSICAL. Miss Murphy and Miss Campbell «V-3-l Promising Singers. j Miss Sadie Murphy and Miss Anna "Campbell, two promising young pupils ■of Prof. D. F. Colville, gaye a vocal re cital last evening at Mr. Colville'a 'studio. The young ladies were assisted by George Danz. Mr. Danz played a "Violin solo, Goltermann's "Leßeve," iv Ins usual pleasing style; Miss Kather iue Collins acted as accompanist, and Pun. Colville sang "Rinaldo," from j Handel's aria, and Wilson G. Smith's '•Tin-u'rt Like a Lovely Flower." This is the first time that.many of the friends of Muss Murphy and Miss Campbell have had tlie pleas ure of hearing them sing, although both young ladies assist Mr. Gehan with the music at the Cathedral on special oc casions. Miss Murphy sang several m hers, and all acceptably, but "her performance of Gounod's "Aye Maria" deserves special mention. Ihis is con sidered by musicians so great a test that the friends of the young lady may feel that iv the future she can accomplish much. Miss Campbell's singing was equally pleasing. She has a contralto voice that promises well with careful training. She sang Mascheroni's "For All Eteru nity" (for which Mr. Danz played a violin obligate) sweetly. She sang also Sullivan's "The Lost Chord.'* ■i Among tnose present were Rev. Fa ther Heffron. Father Farr. J. 11. Bur well, L. N. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. P. 11. Mc Veagh, Mr. and Mrs. T. F. McCor mick, Herman Oppenheim, S. W. Mat te.on. A HEN ON. Pino Land Fraud Committee Pre paring for Action. • An informal meeting of some of the members of the pine land investigating committee was held yesterday in Parlor Gat the Merchants. The purpose of the gathering was to review the testi mony relating to alleged .pine, land crookedness, so said one of the mem bers. One of the members of the com mittee was seen, but he declined to talk for publication. He intimated, how ,ever. that the meeting was an import ant one, but declined to say who were present. Harris Richardson, the attor ney, was iv Parlor G with the gather ing, and as Senator Dedon, of Taylor's Falls, was registered at the hotel, it is presumable that he was also in attend ance. '-; It is highly probable that some sensa tional suits are about to be begun. in which the names of certain prominent -lumber people will figure as defendants. ;- RICE LECIURE. Event at the High School Monday Afternoon. Dr. J. M. Rice, of New York, a man very prominently known in educational circles all over the country, will deliver a lecture on the afternoon of March 19 in the assembly hall or the high school, under the auspices of the St. Paul Teachers' association. His topic will be "Scientific and Practical Education; European and American Methods Cora pared." Dr. Rice is out ou a lecture tour, and of his talk before the teachers of the public schools of Atlanta, Ga., W. F. Slaton, superintendent of schools in that place, writes: "Dr. Rice proved himself an able, in teresting and efficient lecturer in that department of instruction in which a teacher most delights, scientific educa tion: His address was listened to with pleasure by the best scholars of Atlanta, together with many others from a dis tance. The universal opinion is that it was the best lecture on that subject ever delivered in Atlanta." The Atlanta Journal of Feb 1, com menting on the same lecture, says: "The audience was very appreciative, and the attention was perfect through out. It was the first lecture of the tour which the doctor is undertaking, and the lecture was so well received by the audience that it would appear as if Dr. Rice would meet with the same success as a lecturer as he has met with as writer. It was the purpose of the lecture to point out the meaning of a scientific recitation. Dr. Rice based his remarks on what he had seen in the classroom. That the fund of informa tion from which he drew his conclu sions is large cannot be doubted, as he has devoted many years to visiting schools, both in our country and abroad. In the United States alone he as vis ited schools in nearly fifty cities.?' RETAIL CLERKS Will Call on a Jeweler Who Is Keeping Open Late. The clerks' union held an enthusiastic meeting last evening, and. considering the stormy weather that prevailed, there was a good attendance, and con siderable business of importance was transacted. It was reported that one of the jewelry firms that had observed the early-closing agreement was now keep ing open, and a committee was appoint ed to call on the proprietor and try to induce him to close. The boys are talking of a social to be given in the near future. Excitement prevails among the clerks lv regard to the coming con vention of . the Retail Clerks' National Protective association, which will meet in St. Paul next July, and bids fair to be the largect in the history of the asso ciation. The U. S. Clothing Co. Will keep their store closed today fore noon on account of the death of Mr. Uochstadter's father. -■ COURT NOTES. A member of the Rice jury told a Globe reporter yesterday that the statement in Monday's issue of the Pioneer Press relating to the vote of the jury was entirely erroneous. Convic tion for murder in the first or second degree was not under consideration at all. The only vote taken was on a ver aict for murder in the third degree, and finally stood 9 to 3 in favor of convic tion, where it remained until the jury agreed to di9aeree.

Committees Appointed Yesterday at the Meeting: in tho Mayor's Office— Hickman Is Made Per manent Chairman — Men of All Prominent Callings Are Put Into Committee Harness. The local committee of the National Prison association held a meeting yes terday afternoon in the oflica of the mayor. Hon. Robert A. Smith was * chosen temporary chairman. Key. S. G.

He said that the as sociation is composed of heads of char itable and prison institutions and such other men as are interested in securing, reforms in penal institutions and char ities. The association has in it many distinguished men. The first president was Horatio. Seymour, of New York, who was succeeded by the late ex- President Rutherford B. Hayes, and on his death the present president, Roeliff Brinckerhoff, of Ohio, was selected. It is* owing to the work of the association •*>"• that contract leases of prisoners In the Southern states have - been discontinued. 7 The present system of '-measuring convicts lor purposes of; identification was adopted, and many other prisou reforms had been brought about. lie spoke of the way other large cities have entertained the association,' and expressed a hope that arrangements may be made within the bounds of a moderate expense for enter-' taining the . visitors to this city. He said it is the custom of the ass ociatlou to hold night sessions and to put in the days visiting thejprisons and charitable institutions, and in being entertained by the citizens. The opening would be in the hands of the local committee, and would consist of addresses by the governor, the mayor, members of the association and others.
