An ILL-STA itEED TRouPE-GRAU CONE
TO GRIEF The Savannah 4drertiSer states
that in that city on Monday morning the
several creditors of Grau's Opera Troupe
filed their complaints with Justice P. Nj.
Russell, ,'r., and attachments were issued
TO the amount of above 81, 900 to satisfy
the several claims. All the property
wardrobes, stage property, etc.-belonging
TO the trourc. and said to worth three or
four thous and dollars, was seized, and is
now in ID 9 hands Of the magistrate. What
will be done in the premises remains to be
seen. The company contest the matter on
the ground that the property did not in any
way belong to Mr.. Grau, and could not be
held for his debts. Whichever way the
affair is settled, we fear it will forever put
quietus upon the German opera in this
section.
This is the fine troupe that performed in
Richmond not long ago.

millions of gold coin in the country, thus
adding that much to the circulating me-
