emily finding special favor with the audi
ence. It was in this latter that Miss Alb
bott's wonderful power of sustained trill.
ing was most fully developed, and the
audience sat entranced by the marvellous
melody that issued from her thoat, the
highest note being rendered with bel!-like
purity and without the suspicion Of a
quaver or the appearance of the slightest
effort.
Mr.. Tom Karl's Interpretation of the
character Of Paul was manly and attrac-
tive. He is an unusually handsome young
man, with a tenor voice of superior tex
ture and fine compass. Its mellow tones
fall on the ear most pleasantly, and once
hearing them the auditor can very easily
understand how the famous tenor won and
holds his worldwide reputation. One of
the strange Inconsistencies betrayed by
the audience was its apparent unapprecia-
tion Of Mrs. Seguin's magnificent contralto
voice, in striking contrast with the
veritable ovation rendered the bright
particular star of the galaxy. The
chary applause accorded to her
best efforts was altogether surprising,
and the only near approach to anything
like worthy demonstration of approval
on the part of the audience was ut the con-
clusion Of her superb solo in the grotto
scene of the third act. Mrs. Sesuin's
is one of the very best con-
tralto voices that has even been
heard in Fulton opera house. and her
rendition of the difficult role of
Menta, the slave girl, was thoroughly ar
tistic piece of acting. Mr.. Ryse's fine bass
voice was heard to advantage in the rendi-
tion Of the part Of Domingo, and MIR. Nc
Donald, who has a good baritone, sang st.
Croar part quite we'll, though his acting
was stiff. The remainder of the cast was
in every way worthy its distinguished head,
and the chorus was grand in evenness of
balance, strength of ensemble, and the
harmonious blending of the voices, satisfy
ing to the most captious. The opera is full
of intricate and difficult numbers. all of
which are given with entire accuracy and
expression.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Probab,e suIcide Of .Iohu M -

Probable Suicide Of John NJ. Good.
John NJ. Good, aged about Sc years, died
at the keystone house this morning about
half past 8 O'Clock, apparently from the
effect Of arsenical poison. He was in good
health yesterday afternoon, ate hearty
supper in the evening and retired to his
room before 10 o'clock. About half-past
10 o'clock he was seized with violent pains
in the stomach, accompanied with vomiting,
which continued for several hours. At )
O'Clock this morning DR.. Davis was sent
for and arrived at the hotel soon after
wards, and found him in q bad way and
exhibiting all the symptoms Ofhaving been
poisoned. He was conscious and told the
doctor that he had not taken poison. The
usual remedies for poison were admins
tered, but Mr.. Good grew worse and died
at $50 this morning, as above stated.
Mr.. Good was a single man, a na-
tive Of Upper Leacock township, and
very respectfully connected. A few years
ago he came into possession Of bequest
of about $500. With this money he
bought cigars and in January or February,
1879, took them to Cleveland, Ohio, for
sale. 1t is said that he fell in love with a
lady who rejected him, and that this un-
settled his mind. Be this rs it may, he
became quite deranged and squandered a
good deal Of his money. A Cleveland
banker with whom he had 1,5O0 deposit
cd, became aware of his condition, wrote
to his friends in this county to look after
him. He was brought home and placed
in the insane department of the county
hospital for treatment, where he remained
until last summer, when, being sufficiently
restored but still erratic he was taken to
the home of 4 brother in Salisbury town.
ship, who had in the meantime been ap-
pointed his trustee. Becoming dis
satisfied with his lite in the country,
he was permitted to come to Lancaster
and boarded for several weeks at the Black
Horse hotel, and for four or five weeks at
the Keystone house. Though harmless,
his mind was evidently good deal disOr-
dered, especially in matters of money and
religion. 1t is said he had on more than
one occasion threatened to commit suicide,
and it is supposed among his friends that
he poisoned himself.
Coroner Mishler, on being informed Of
his death, empaneled a Jury and held al
inquest. AS there was not the slightest
suspicion or foul play in the case no post
mortem was made, and the jury returned
verdict of "death from inflammation Of
the stomach and bowels"
The brothers of the deceased have been
notified Of the sad affair, and it IL said
they will have the remains taken 10 tie
country for interment.

TROUBLE AT COLUMBIA DAM.
A Row Among Fish Warlens and Fisher

Row Among Fish Wardens and Fisher
men.
On Monday Peter Ludwick, the state
fish warden, accompanied by four assist
ant wardens, all of them fully equipped
with authority, visited the fisheries below
the Columbia dam. Landing on one of
the islands they were met by some twenty
five Columbia fishermen, who, it seems,
knew Of the coming of the wardens. The
warden read the fish law, but he and his
party were warned to quit the river or
abide by the consequences. On refusing
they were ducked, their skiff was broken
into pieces, and, almost drowned, they
managed to reach shore. By this time a
crowd of river men were gathered on the
bank. The wardens scarcely set foot upon
dry land before they were set upon by this
mob and driven up the tow-path on a full
run. Knives, blackjacks and other
weapons were used freely. The wardens
sought refuge in the parlor Of the Union
house, but later in the day were driven
from their temporary quarters to an up
stairs chamber, where the proprietor
locked them in securely. There are any
amount of cracked heads as the result of
the riot. The men engaged in the riot
will probably lie arrested, and the end is
not yet.

FIRE.


Last night between 10 and II O'Clock a
two-story frame house and one-story frame
barn, situated near the corner of Clay and
Market street and belonging to Messrs.
Rathvon & Fisher, were set on fire and
burned. For some time past the house
had been occupied by two colored
women named Sarah Anderson and
Susan Jones. They has never rented the
house but were mere squatters, who re
fused to vacate. Last week they were
tried in quarter sessions court for keeping
a bawdy house, but were acquitted. They
were then re-arrested and committed to
Jail for 80 days for disorderly conduct, and
were in Jail last night when the fire oc-
Cured. What little furniture they had
was destroyed in the fire. The burned
buildings were not worth more than 5000,
and were insured for 500.

Political Conventions Elsewhere.

The Republican convention of Ohio meets
in Columbus to-day. The Sherman dele
gates, being in the majority, were engaged
yesterday in mapping out programme of

also six of the congressional districts. At
a caucus last night they resolved 'under
no circumstances to yield to dictation from
any quarter as to the action of district dele
gates to the Chicago convention" The
plan of the Sherman leaders to is have reso-
luton adopted instructing the delegates at
