President Cole and the Cincinnati
7EHT8us Southern.
Especial to the Cincinnati Commercial
o5 NASHVILLE, January 27.--It is
understood that the ratification Of
the lease of the Georgia Central
would bring about amicable arrange
ments between Cole an1 the LOUIS
vile management, and he might
consent to take the Presidency if
allowed discretionary power over the
system composed Of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis,
Western Atlantic and Georgia
Central, with headquarters at Nash
vile. This, however, is regarded as
improbable. Cole will be President
of system consisting of the Gins
cinnati Southern, the Western and
Atlantic and the Georgia Central.
1t is understood here that the Presi,
dency of the Cincinnati Southern
has been rendered Cole, and that it
will be accepted. Should this result,
il is predicted that Nashville will
have Cincinnati connections within
six months. The fact that Cole did
not tell Standiford and Newcomb
as to whether he would continue in
his present Office, gives strength to
the belief that he has already de-
termined to cast his lot with the
Cincinnati Southern, in connection
with the Western Atlantic and
Georgia Central, already under his
control.

THE new Queen Of Spain is serious

the same effect on his brides as the
upas tree has on all living creatures.
Where will he get his next one ?
II he can't get one in Europe, Amer
lea might be induced to pack up Susan
B. Anthony and ship her to him,
provided he would promise to have
her well taken care of-that is, to let
her live at least year. 1t is rumored
that at least a part Of SPANS royal

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
An Aged Lady burned 20 Death I'm
AbingdOn, Virginia.
Bristol News.l


. bristol News.l
One of the most awful accidents In
the history Of Abingdon occurred last
Friday, in the burning to death of Miss
Sarah Ann Fields of that town. Miss
Fields was sister Of Mr,James Fields,
prominent citizen Of the town, and
has long been an inmate of his house,
hold. The family were living In the
ID. Q. Dunn brick building, west of the
depot, on Main street. At the time of
the accident, only the doomed lady, Mr..
Fields two daughters, Miss Annice and
Ellen, and small negro boy, were on
the premises. The two daughters were
In the east room below and their aunt,
Miss s. A. Fields, was occupying room
In the second story OF the ell. She
had carried up to her room lot of
chips, and had put portion OF them
on the fire, and was seated In front of
1t, when lighted corn cob fell from
her dress. This was unnoticed by her
until she found her dress on fire. At
noon the two young ladies below
heard her screams, but at first thought
them those Of sport. proceeding from
the children OF Mr.. Childers, who
lived on the adjoining lot. When they
were convinced of their mistake Miss
Annice Fields ran to her assistance, and
on entering the room found her stand
ing near the door completely enveloped
In flames. With wonderful presence of
mind, she wrapped her In one of the
bed covers, and thus extinguished the
flames. Too late! She was burned to
blackened crisp from her ankles to
the crown of her head. Every vestige
OF clothing was burned from her, ex-
cepting her shoes, which were tightly
laced, her feet only being unharmed.
She was able to tell the particulars,
but died in two hours. Miss Annice
Fields, in her heroic efforts to save her
aunt. was severely burned, and would
unquestionably hsve lost her life, but
for the fact that she was clad In wooden
goods. The deceased was aged, per-
haps, some go years.

1HE OPERA La TRAy1lTA-0REA Our.
PoUhyxG AZ MOZART HALl. LAST NI0HT--
BRILLIAxT SUCCESS. announcement
that verdrs grand opera La Travsats
would be performed last evening attracted
an immense audience 10 Mozyst Hall, end
long before the hour fixed for the beginning
Of the performance every inch n sitting
and standipg.room in the spacioss auditos
rum was crowded, and this notwthstaud-
ing there were no cards Of invitatSon sold
TO persons NOT members Of the Assoctsilon.
The opera La Trayiata Is founded upon
the drama by the younger Dumas. Il
Dame aux CameIIias," and was performed
by the following cast: /: violetta valery, Mrs.
Cs-oIine Richines. Bernard; Annina (her
irienc), Miss Columbia Wyatt; Alfredo,
Mr.. f. w. Hoff; Georgia Germont. M.
Pierre Bernard; DR.. Grenvil, Mr.. N. Il.
PIeasants. The MozIrt eboros came In with
their part from behind the scenes 10 tho
third act.
II Is difficult at this late hour to give such
notice OF this beautiful performance as 10
deserves. Violetta is well known 10 the
attendants OF the opera In this country TO
be Mrs. BernarG's iavorite r6te, and last
evenings effort fully sustained the reputa-
ton achieved by her 10 former times Ia his
throughout, and her singing superb.
Mr.. Hoff added new Iaurels to bis brow
by the manner in which be sung and acted
the part OF Alfredo, and Mr. bernard
showed himself. as usual, conscientious
actor and singer.
Miss Wyatt had an unimportant charae.
ter, but did 1t acceptably, as did our favor
its baritone Mr.. Peasants.
The chorus sang with spirit and preci-
sion. and The writer felt really proud Of our
orchestra. Their summer in the mountains,
or something else, has really improved
them. The Orchesiration In Travsta Is very
beautiful. and some OF II quite difficult, but
our musicians were fully up to the occa-
sion.
The stage-setting was good, the furniture
being very handsome and appropriate.
The members Of the Mozart will look for.
ward with pleasure to the next opera night,
and next time we hope that brighter work
will be selected, Traviata being rather mel
ancholy for the edifcation Of the average
listener
