AnItaliaD ODerA

A small but select and very appreci-
alive audience assembled at the Opera
House on Saturday evening to witness
the charming opera of al Travatore, "
rs presented by the Strakosch Italian
Opera company. The performance
throughout was excellent, and Mile
Maria Lesina as LeCnora and Mile.
Maria p :asini as Azucena displayed a
dramatic talent, that was intensified in
the death scene in the last act. Siguor
Giannini as Manrico re eceived the honors
of the evening. He is the first tenor of
the company, has really superb voice
and is a brilliant artist. Signor Cia-
pini as Conte di Luna the passionate
lover, was all that could be desired.
He has n splendid voice and sings with
great taste and true dramatic spirit.
The remainder of the company sustain
ed their different roles in an excellent
manner, while the large orchestra under
the able direction of Mr. s. Behrens,
rendered the music in style seldom
heard in this city.

mrs. NcOville's Petition Regarding
Guiteau.

CHICAGO, April 15-Mrs. Seoville's
petition for the appointment of a con.
servator of the estate of Guiteau came
up in the County Court this morning.
Judge Loonis said that in view of the
recent decision of the Supreme Court of
the State there was some uncertainty
about tht jurisdiction of the Court in
probate matters. He advised that the
matter be allowed to rest until the
question is settled, or that the case be
taken to the Probate Court, which IN
questionably has jurisdiction in pro-
bate cases, Counsel for Mrs. Scovllle
stated that he would rather have the
Court refuse to hear the petition, and
he would then appeal to che Supreme
Court, and this was accordingly done.
Before reaching the State Supreme
Court the case must 60 through the Ap.
pellate Court. and this will require six
weeks, MS tho Court is not now in ses-
sion and there are other cases ahead of
1t. Mrs. Scoville appeared in court in
person to-day.

Seventeen Stores and Dwellings
Destroy Cd n tCrisheld-The work
Of an Inc end diary.

Yesterday morning about 4 O'Clock
the Inhabitants Of the quiet little town
of Crishsld were awakened by the cry
of fire. The flames were found to pro
coed from building on Main street,
occupied as a store by James Booth,
and before the flames could be got un.
den control, at least one third of the
bust mess portion of the town was in
ashes. There is no fire apparatus of any
kind in the town, and the citizens had
to rely on the use of buckets to combat
the devouring element. At the time
the fire broke out, the wind was very
high, which caused the flames to spread
with alarming rapdity ,and it was only
by the greatest exertion that numbers
of persons escaped being burned tc
death, and many only escaped with
their lives losing everything theyowned
Altogether there were seventeen stores
and dwellings consumed, and many
persons have lost all their household
goods and personal etftcts. The fire
was undoubtedly the work of ar
inceudiary, and James Booth, in whost
store i, originated, has been arrested
on suspicion Of being the perpetra
tor.
The evidence is very strong against
Booth az it is known that although bis
property was not worth more than
$1,000 he had recently insured it fol
$1,000, and on Saturday he endeavored
TO hire man to remove his goods on
Saturday night and upon his refusin &,
Booth told him that he would see some
thing that would astonish him before
morning. 1t is thought that Bootl
con Cocted the plan some time ago, and
that u man named Hall is implicated
with him. Hall left the town but wa.
arrested about seventeen miles from
Crisheld yesterday morning, and with
Booth was given bearing, aftel
which they were both committed to
Jail. The people are very much excited
and there were many threats of lynch
ing Booth, but the prompt action of the
authorities has had the effect of quiet
mg matters, and it isDot Thought thai
thare will be any attempts at violence
