ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.-Two men ar
rived at the Merchants Hotel yesterday
with horse and buggy, and from their
suspicious actions and contradictory stor-
les led to the belief that all was not right.
They were arrested and taken to the station
house, where it was ascertained that their
names are M. Stafford and George Calvin.
They pretend to have been engaged in the
ealeof non-explosive oil and new coal oil
lamp, and have with them box contain
ing the lamp. They stated to Mr.. Thatcher,
at the Merchants, that they had driven the
horse and buggy all the way from New
York. and desired to go to Westerville.
They told officer Trainor that they had
come from Cleveland, and wanted to go 10
Cincinnati. They told the Marshal that
they had hired the horse and buggy in
Westerville, and were going back there.
They had on their persons variety of let
ters and papers addressed to A. Cole & Co.
They will be held until the ownership of
the horse and buggy is settled.
THE OPERA HoUsE-MRs. F. w. LANDER.
There was never gathered more fash
ionable and critical audience within the
walls of the Opera House, than last night
greeted the performance of Elizabeth, by
Mrs. F. w. Lander, and we are equally GER
tain that the audience never saw a more
elegant and powerful actress. She held
them spell-bound from the first to the last.
The characters were each richly, tastefully
and historically costumed, Mrs. Lander
herself by the half dozen exceedingly rich
and peculiarly tastefully costumes in which
she appeared, most admirably representing
to her audience the great characteristic
infirmity of one of the most distinguished
of England's great monarchs.
Never have we seen more original and
telling acting than in the scene where Es-
sex processes love for her. But in the
q scene where, holding the death warrant
she waits for Essex to send her the ring an6
claim her pardon, she was profoundly
great.
In her presentation of the character O.
Elizabeth, Mrs. Lander accepts the por
trait of the author of the tragedy-almos
infinitely great as ruler, almost infinitely
frivolous as woman; shrewd, far reach
ing and comprehensive in her menta
grasp as queen, intensely vain and over
whelmingly jealous as mere woman, will
q woman's affections subordinated to tn
,all-exacting pride of ruler who brook
neither opposition to her imperious will, o
participation, even in name, in her power
The quarrel with Essex is the most ef

Mr., Taylor's admirable personation of Es
sex, who was one of the most perfect EN-
bodiments sketched in history of honol
rashness,s arrogance, pride, and haughti
ness, combined with superior mental gift
We cannot conceive that Essex could hav
been more perfectly personified, and ths

Tonight Mrs. Lander will give he
magnificent rendition of Mary Stuart,
which she is said to equal her great repre-
sentation of last night.
