DYING IN THE OPERA HOUSE

 

James Hitchcock's Sudden Death Yesterday Afternoon

 

Yesterday afternoon a young man named James HITCHCOCK, who resides at No. 81(?) Caledonia avenue, went to the Grand opera house in company with four gentlemen friends and a lady, to witness the matinee performance given by Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West's ministrels. The party had just got seated when it was discovered young HITCHCOCK had, as was supposed, fainted. An effort was made to revive him, but failing, assistance was procured and the insensible form of the young man was carried downstairs and placed in J. H_ENAN's hack, and a messenger dispatched for Dr. F. A. MANDEVILLE, who pronounced HITCHCOCK dead. ___ DAVIS and FLYNN took charge of the body and removed it to the residence on Caledonia avenue. Dr. BEHAN was then called, and on examination he also pronounced the man dead. Officer McARTHUR notified Coroner DANINGBURG, who viewed the body and will hold an inquest at 10 o'clock this morning. The young man who was deprived of life so suddenly was a single man, twenty-three years of age, and was employed in the Co-operative foundry. He leaves a widowed mother and a sister and two brothers, Josephine, Robert and Thomas. Six months ago Dr. BLY attended the deceased and said he had heart disease. Since then he has had several fainting spells, finally dying in one of them in the opera house yesterday. The family will have the sympathy of their friends and the public in general in their affliction.

A MUSICAL EVENT IN BROCKPORT

 

Brockport, Jan. 25 - The dullness ___ activity that have prevaded our social life __ing the present winter were happily re___ by an elegant entertainment given on Monday evening last at the residence of Mr. A. T. WELLS. Programmes, composed and edited for the inimitable manner for which Mr. WELLS is noted, had been distributed among the highly favored invited persons for several days previous to the occurrence. The entertainment was noted as "The Climax, or last concert of this season, by A. T. WELLS, assisted by his friends, all real nice folks."

     The invited guests, about thirty in number, assembled in his pleasant parlors to witness the execution of the scheme and to judge for themselves whether everything promised was performed. The entertainment was of a varied order and consisted of vocal and instrumental music, recitations and refreshments. The participants were largely from among our local talent, assisted by a few friends from other localities. It was essentially an amateur performance, and by amateurs of eminent ability. Criticism of such an entertainment would be entirely super_ous and misplaced. It was most excellent from the beginning to the close and reflects great credit upon the designer and his able assistants. Its success should have the effect of inaugurating a series of similar gatherings and awaken our people from the lethargy into which they seem to have fallen.

     The opening was a piano duett, the "Overture, William Tell," by Miss Kittie BAKER and Miss Lena FENNER, both of whom have appeared at the Philharmonic concerts in your city. Following this was a piano solo by Lillie WELLS, daughter of N. P. B. WELLS, a young Miss who gives great promise of musical ability. Then came a vocal solo, "The King and the Miller," by Mr. I. RANDELL, of Seneca Falls. Then followed a piano solo, brilliantly rendered by Miss Lillian M. BROWN, of Scottsville: "Rhapsodie" Hongroise, No. 12." Mr. E. C. WINANS then recited Watson's "Wounded," and kindly responded to an enthusiastic encore. Next was a piano solo, Gottschalk's "Home," by Miss Jessie WHITE, and following this a flute solo, "La SIRENE," by Mr. A. T. WELLS. This concluded.
