the OPERA.


Strauss {" Merry War " Last Evening.
The first rendition in this city of Johann
Strauss newest Operatic celebrity of "A
Merry War;" by Mr.. Chas. E. FOrd's
company, drew to Fulton opera hOuse last
night an audience of fairly good numbers.
The work is replete with gOo6 points that
are likely to win it an extended popularity.
Though its music is distinctly less tuneful
than that of Sullivan, the opera contains
a number of delicious airs, among which
waltz measure in the composers best vein
is prominent, and the sharply accentuated
march movements that appear at frequent
intervals in the score add piquancy that
is at once charming and in cOnsonance
with the spirit of the piece. There are also
some uncOmmOnly good concerted pieces,
notably lively quintet in the first act and
a duet in the third, which is delightful,
while little song set to mazOurka
time catches the ear readily and as
quickly makes itself at home with th 9
hearer. The climaxes are skillfully de-
veloped and exceedingly effective, and the
interest OF the opera is so we'll sustained
that when tho curtain falls the spectator
feels as though his pleasure had been un.
duly cut short. The musical merit Of the
opera is not, however, enhanced by the
libretto, which is generally coarse and at
times the situations trench strongly on
vu'garity.
The presentation of the opera by Mr.,
Ford's company was in all respects .
competent ono. The leading female roles
were we'll done by Miss Marie Bockel,
Miss Blanche Chapman and Miss Gene
We've Reynolds. The first named lady was
never in better voice, and her solos evoked
the genuine enthusiasm Of her audience.
The quality Of her acting like her vocal
accomplishments has if anything i'm
proved since her last appearance here, and
she quickly won favor that did not wane
as the performance proceeded. Miss Chap
man in the character Of a German peasant
woman, was quito revelation and proved
the versatility of her talent by her clever
rendition of the role, as we'll vOcally as
dramatically, while Miss Reynolds anna
zOnian presence and rich cOntraltO
voice lent the desired spirit to
the performance Of her part. Of the
men Mr.. Philip Branson's robust voice
sounded to advantage, though he might
have been little bettcr posted in his
part. Mr.. Denham gave the Dutch tulip
planter with real comedy effect. Mr..
Drew was thoroughly satisfactory in his
part, while the chorus was strong and
nicely balanced. The costuming was rich
and the presentation Of the opera as q
whole was the best MIR. Ford has given
us for long tire.

AN Extraordinary Case.

An E4sE0OrOAnoty CAo0s
A correspondent of tho London Standard
tells how the Paris pOlice recently un-
earthed an individual Of most extraOrdi-
nary type, IN old man M. LeblOnd, who
had been arrested for completely in crime.
Ellis miserable dress and generally
wreched appearance induced the belief
that he was homeless vagabOnd. The
police were, however, much puzzled by
the fact that he was in possession Of a
number of ofimportant-looking keys. Hav-
ing extracted. from LeblOnd his
address, NJ. Mace, the chief Of police,
accompanied him to the house indi-
Gated. To NJ. Mace's astOnishment he
found that this was one of the largest
mansions in the quarter of Camp Elysees.
In reply to the inquiries, LeblOud stated
that it belonged to his family for over a
century, and that he himself had lived
there without any servant, male or female
for the past fifteen years, his explanation
being that he was a misanthrope. On en-
tering the house and opening the shutters
NJ. Mace found it full of the most costly
furniture. with collection Of old pictures
clocks and other objects Of art. In the
principal bed room was an antique rose
wood bedstead, the bed of which was COW
cred with books aud engravings. Upon
the floor was 4 mattress with dirty linen,
the nightly resting place of this modern
DiOgenes. Everything was covered with
dust and dirt. On proceeding into an
other part of the mansion NJ. Mace found
small theatre with scenery and cos
TUNES. NJ. LeblOnd states himself to be
entitled to a revenue of "a, 600 year. He
is to be subjected by the authorities to an
examination in lunacy. Whether Le-
blond is his true name remains to be

The Sad 0iroetlng u illliorsvillo student Re
coived on His Return Homo.
A succession of unusual circumstances
followed the death of wife aud mother
in Tower City, Schuylkill county, and
OccasiOned profound sorrow in that neigh.
borhood for the afflicted family. On Sat-
urday morning last Mrs. A. B. Evans, the
wife of we'll known merchant, died after
an illness of two weeks. Mr.. Evans began
making arrangements for the funeral of
his wife, and visited the establishment Of
Undertader Dreisigacker to select q coffin.
He desired one made of poplar; but the
both of rosewood Mr.. Dreisigacker, how
ever, expressed his willingness to imme-
diately order u casket that would suit.
MIR. Evans examined the casket for .
few minutes. Finally, pointing to one Of
them, he said "That ono will do for my
wife," and, laying his hand on tho other
"This one for me-" He then returued
home to await the arrival of his son Milton
a student in the normal school at Millers-
vile, who had been notified by telegraph
ON the previous evening of his mothers
dangerous illness. The young man arrived
between ; and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
His father met him with the intention Of
breaking as gently as possible the news
o. the mothers death. Grasping his son
by the hand, he said "YOur mother is

he gave q couvulsive shudder and foil

On Tuesday afternoon the husband and
wife were laid side by side in the pretty
little cemetery at Tower City. A vast
concourse of friends and neighbors fol-

HE CAPTURED A l,EPOT.


Fifty Citizens OF Allentown T, ying TO LassO
Madman.
An old lunatic, named Schweitzer, took
possession of the Lehigh Valley depot at
Allentown, and held it for an hour. He
carried an axe and went behind the couD-
ter at the restaurant. When ordered out
he showed fight and brandished the axe.
A crowd gathered and various expedients
were tried to induce the old man to leave
and surrender the axe. He was full of
fire. His eyes flashed and no one dared
approach him. Coaxing and persuading
failed to move him. They then tried to
scare him, but there was no scare in him.
When anyone approached him lie
raised the axe threateningly and delied
them. To frighten aim some one
pulled out a revolver and pointed
it at him, but he only laughed mock
ingly. Ie then entered tho ladies'
department and the women fled in terror.
Ropes were then procured and several
attempts were made to lassO him, but he
was too quick for them and dexterously
warded off the rope. A window was then
raised back of the madman, and while his
attention was thus diverted other attempts
were made to lasso him. Between closing
the window and graphing with the ropes
his back was turned toward part of the
crowd and a man sprans on tho counter
and pounced on the old man, throwing
him down. He was promptly disarmed
and firmly bound. After awhile he be-
came calmer, and later in tue morning
was returned to the almshouse. He is a
rag picker, about 70 years old, and while
known to be weak-minGed was not con-
sidered violent. He had possession of the
depot for full hour and kept fifty men at
bay.

Seven Aen Arrested for RobbsnE . Firm IN
PhiiadeIphia-Store Porters in the
Conspiracy.
Henry G. aud Frank Slaughter, of No.
751 South Twentieth street Charles Cul-
leuy, of No. 144O Etting street Samuel
Vauz, of 90 South Twenty-sscond street {;
James p. Wallace, of No. 1920 South
street; William S. Bower, of No. 2OO2
Nicholson street, AID Joseph r. Palmer,
of Eighteenth and Wallace streets, were
arraigned before Magistrate South, at the
Central station, in Philadelphia, the first
three named TO answer the charge of lar
ceny, and the others for receiving stolen
goods. All the prisoners waived hearing
aud were required to enter $1,000 bail
each.
Henry c. Slaughter is employed as en-
gineer in the.wall paper mandatory of
Messrs. Howell Brothers, Sixth street,
below Market, and his brother and Gull
lenuy occupied positions as porters in the
same house. Several weeks ago Lieuten-
ant Markoe and Special Officer Taite were
informed that goods were being carried
out of HOwells' store early in the morning.
The two officers kept watch on the place
and were very soon convinced that the
three men were plundering the firm by
wholesale.
Upto this time the firm knew nothing
about tho action of the police, and their
astonshment can be better imagined than
described when Lieutenant Markoe on
Saturday paid them visit and made
known the result of his Investigations.
On Monday morning Special Officer Taite
visited the Central station and procured
warrants. upon which all the accused
were taken into custody.
The case proves to be one of the most
important unearthed by the police for a
long time, and from present indications it
appears that the thcfts of the three men
will run into $40, 900. 1t was the duty of
Henry c. Slaughter to obtain the keys of
the establishment each morning to open
it. His brother accompanied him, and
Culleny was partner. The men had du-
plicate keys made, and early in the morn
ing, three times each week, they would 60
to the store and remove about $1O0 worth
of goods at time. Then they would visit
the residence of the employer, who held
the proper keys and obtain them. By this
means they avoided suspicion and for
eight years have defied detection.
Vanz, one of the accused, was formerly
a driver in the employ If Howell Brothers
but was discharged, and it is claimed that
his paper store is stocked with the stolen
goods. Bower, another prisoner, it is said
has made an offer of 81, 600 if tho prosecu-
ton would not push his case.

A close inspection showed that concealed
in this case were ten metallic cartridges,
