The Emma Abbott Engagement.

The Emma Abbott opera company's en-
of next week will certainly be brilliant
| success in the way of artistic perform
ances. The popularity of the prima
donna, the strength of the company and
the attractive character of the operas to
be given, combine to give promise of as
delightful entertainments as have ever
been given here. The new opera comioue,
''King For Day." with which the engage
ment will open next Monday evening, is
adapted from the French Isl J. Etais Roll
of Adolph Adam, and is given solely in
this country by the Abbott company. The
brilliancy and melodic beauty of it's mu-
sic, and the large degree of spectacular
interest which belongs to the work have
given it remarkable success this season.
The story is laid in India, and the interest
centers in the love of Zephoris, poor
fisherman, and the Princess Nemea, daugh-
ter of the king. Zephoris rescues her
from drowning, and although
he disappears before his charge
is revived, she conceives an
affection for him and vows that she will
marry only her rescuer. The Prince Ka
door seeks her hand in marriage and at the
same time is striving to dethrone her faith
er. He learns from Zephoris the story of
the rescue and presents himself to her as
the one who saved her life. Meanwhile
Zephoris walks along the sea shore and la
ments his fate. He writes in the sand the
words, eff 1 were king" and then falls
asleep. The king and his attendants pass
by and see the writing and the king in the
whim of the moment has Zephoris' sleep
intensified by drugs and has him conveyed
to the palace and placed upon the throne
where he awakens to find himself He is
made to believe that he is really king and
for one day he rules, justly and with wis
dom. He meets the princess and orders
that preparations be made for their mar
rage. The day ends, however, he is again
given opiates and taken back to the sea
shore. He has gained the Kadoor's secret
intention and the Kadoor seeks to have him
put to death. He gains an audience with
the king, gives proof of the Kadoor'5 du-
plicity and turns the tables on
him. The Kadoor is banished
and Zephoris and the princess are mar
ried. Miss Abbott takes the part of the
princess and finds it character admira
ornate and she renders it with happy effect
The character gives opportunity for hand
some costuming and her dresses in this
part are as rich as any ever seen on the
lyric stage and are models of picturesque
beauty. Mr.. Castle has the part of Zeph-
oris and in his hands it becomes a worthy
companion piece to the princess of Miss
Abbott. The entire company will appear
in the cast. The new Gilbert and Sullivan
opera, ..IoIanthe. or the Peer and the
Peri" will be given Tuesday evening and
will be noticed at length, later in the week.
"Travatore" will be presented at the
Wednesday matinee and ''La Sonnanbu-
Ia" Wednesday evening. The company
has its own orchestra and very large and
well trained chorus. The advance sale

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

w. e. Burton Elected Treasurer in Place
of II. Nj. R,ce-Mr. Boyd and MI.
Freeman Want to Know Who is Elected.
A special meeting of the county COM
missioners was held yesterday morning
for the purpose of electing a county treas
urer to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of FL. M. Rice. The members
of the board present were Ames, Krch,
Schurmeier, Wiley. Pottgeiser, Rice.
Mr.. Krch nominated W. E. Burton as
candidate for treasurer and Mr.. Wiley
offered the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That W. E. Burton be and he
is hereby appointed county treasurer to
fill the unexpired term of Henry M. Ri CO
resigned, whose resignation takes effect on
the LIST day of March next.
This resolution was adopted. Ayes
Krch, Schurmeier, Wiley, Pottgieser, Rice
IS; nays, Ames-1.
On the announcement of the vote Mr..
Burton was declared elected, and the bonds
were fixed at $125,O00.
PREDIoAMENT.
Under the old law, that is, under the law
as it stood previous to the act that was got
ohlO0Sh SAO PAos0Ao 1CS Ao1dOuIO Ill IOS dIO
to the board of control, the county COM
missioners had the power of appointing
members of the board of control. On the
LIST of January Mr.. Freeman
was a member of that board
and the commissioners appointed
Mr.. Boyd in his place. After the county
commissioners had made this appoint
ment, the act referred to was passed
through the Legislature continuing the
board in power and declaring that the
board shall be constituted as it was before
the 1st of January. Now the question is
raised as to whether Mr.. Boyd or Mr..
Freeman is the member of the
board. Both appeared before the board
yesterday and no one manifested any de-
sire to say or do anything. Mr.. Egan was
called in, but he could see no occasion for
an opinion from him upon the subject.
Mr.. Boyd wanted to know if he should take
his seat, and Mr.. Freeman wanted to know
if he should take his seat, and so between
the two the seat was not taken at the last
accounts, and to get rid of the matter the
board of county commissioners adjourned,
and left the important matter in the same
position in which they found it when first
brought before the board.

try of the Interior and the Directors of
the Police and Gendamerie haye enlist
ed forty thousand mel in the ranks OF
the monjicks ana promoted them to
those of the nobility. These men will
be clothed in the garb worn by private
citizens and stationed on the day OF the
coronation between the Palace Petrow-
ski and the Kerlin. They will mingle
with the crowds and appear as mere
lookers-on. All will be armed, will
have \ password and be orgaaiz3l to
act in n body against the Nihilists or
other disturberS of the ceremonies.
Moreover, in each house in Moscow
one person who is not the usual ir0rRik,
or jauitor, has been designated by the
police, who will be held responsible for
the doingS Of the inhabitants of said
house. These precautions are expected
to constitute strict guard over the
whole population OF tie city. The per-
sons thus singled out by the policeto do
such guard duty are SO many hostages
in the hands of the Muscovite author

pending on the good behavior of every
inhabitant in each house.
London is fearfulIy excited and prac-
tically under martial laW by reason of
the discovery of dynamite plots.
John Kirton the Irish-American who
was arrested on Saturday, is supposed
to have been selected to carry out some
dynamite plots, under sealed orders
from the chiefs Of IA secret organization.
All the "dynamitists have been re-
moved to tue Millbank Prison and plac-
ed in close and separate confinement
under Il special quad. The convict
van in which they were taken to Mill
bank was escorted by large force of
police, armed with reYolvers. From
papers found in Whitehcad'S dynamite
factory at Birmingham it is believed
that clue has been obtained as to the
perpetrators of the Whitehall explosion.
The police say that several important
arrests will shortly be made. The can
listers seized at Liverpool have been
found to contain nitro-glycerine, saw
dust and chalk, the ignition of these
explosives being worked by means of a
trap operated by sulphuric acid and ex-
ploding IN eighteen minutes. Similar
dynamite has been seen only at the eX-
plosions at Glasgow and at the Times
Office here.
The ObSercer to-day says that the pO-
lice possess knowledge which may lead
to further Developments in what is
likely to become the most hideous and
stupendous plot of modern times.
