November 213th, in the township of McKillop, about a mile and a half from Brodhagen and about nine mites from Moncton, where Barbara, the forty -year-old daughter of Henry Zeigler. an old man living on the 12th concession, was found in a mudhole, lying with her face buried deeply. Mr. Phalen interviewed John Ziegler, a nephew of the deceased, the first person who found her :__John Murray, a neighbor alto was on the spot shortly after Miss Ziegler was discovered ; Con rad Eckert and Henry Klipfer, who all said that Miss Ziegler was thinly clad. Mr. Phelan says there were no tracks but those of the deceased at the spot, and if there had been anyone else there the tracks would have shown .suite plainly, as the ground afterwards froze quite hard. 1%e deceased's face was buried in the mud and her mouth was full of dirt and gravel, and one could see the marks on the ground where she had struggled to get"up. Mr. Phelan found n.t marks of violence nor anything to suggest that Mise Ziegler's death woul 1 be to any- one's advantage.

The latter portion of the program was of $ more popular character, add the youthful perform- ers and their audience got more closely in touch, and the closing num- ber came all too soon. Both in their quartette winging and their solo num- bers the boys showed a refinement of style and s technique which Pio- neered long and careful training. Mr. Roney, who played the piano ac- companiments, in an interval of the program told something of this train- ing which the toy. undergo before Operating in 'SUMS, iind-srso gave - seine ine very interesting information as to the way in which the entertain- ment tour, of hie company are con- ducted. A feature of the program which was especially appreciated was tbe cornet playing of Walter Lienke, and the various costumes donned by the boys for different numbers, in- cluding the iouave costume, the Highland Scottish costumes, the sailor costume, snd tbe cotta and cassock, added much to the effect, of the per- formance,,.

ReeveGallow, who made a brief speech of thanks to the audience in behalf of the band, raided some words of cotn- teendation of the boy* and their direc- tor which were received with apprecia- tion.
