sudden Death,ofa Musical Director

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock,
Mr.. A. Predigsm, musical director OF
tie Oates Opera Company, died sudden
ly of spoplexy. Mr.. Predlgsm had been
suffering some time with violent cold,
bu. was not sufficiently i'll to retire from
hls professional labors, he playing st the
Opera house en- Monday night. Yester-
day, however, while in the act of
descending the stairway at the Stsmm
house, where he was stopping, he was
seized with an apoplectc tit and fell
PROSTATE to the floor, at the head Of the
stairway. He was immediately taken to
his room and medical assistance called
in, but too ls.e to render any aid to the
unfortunate man, who died
soon after, remaining uncon-
scious from the time he was seized
with the fit until his death. Mr.. Predl-
gam was Frenchmsn by birth, and has
been connected with the profession some
thirty or forty years, ranking high
smong the musical directors of the coun-
try. He joined the Oates company two
weeks ago IN New York, but previous TO
that time was connected with the KEEL
logg Opera and Aimee Opera Bouffe
Companies. BE has no relatives or friends,
except his wife, IN this country, VINO is
griei-siricken at his premature death.
Deceased was about fifty years o! age,
aid was a man OF fine physique snd COM
msnding appearance. His funeral will
take place this morning at 9 o'clock.
Since writing the above, we learn that
Mr.. Predigsm was born at StraaSburg,
and was 49 years OF age, and has been in
America Is years. At one time hs was
musical director at the Theatre de les
Varieties and at the Opera CCm,que, ut
Paris, France, and was also decorated
Chevslier of the Legion OF Honor by
Louis Napoleon, then emperor. After
mis- arrival IN this country, he accepted
40 engagement as musical director at the
French Grand Opera House, at New Or.
lesns, and afterwards became connected
with the Aimee and Kellogg companies.
