CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-RObert Laird Col
lier, in a current long letter to the Trib-
une, dwells very largely upon the Lolita
reception. The grievances and a%nnoyances
to which Lolita was subjected the first
evening is ascribed by her manager to a
supposed rival manager, who employed a
crowd of roughs to create a disturbance.
Lotta's manager showed a correspondent
letters from other managers, asking him
to consent to a newspaper war, 80 that a
furore might be created in the way of ad-
yertising. To this Lotta's manager paid
no attention, and to this the disturbance
on the first night was denounced. The
Rev. Collier, in concluding his letter, says:
Last night Lolita appeared again to a
very good audience. She left out the hymn
and other Objectionable things, upon the
advice of discreet friends. She was not
Kissed during the evening. She was often
called before the curtain, and the per-
Torrance was a distinct success. The
audience resented the mean and unworthy
opposition of the opening night, and once
more showed that the English people will
always have fair play. l saw again many
members of the aristocracy and more
Washers than l have seen outside of the
gaiety in any theater for many days. Mrs.
Bancroft sent Lolita an exquisite boquet
after the play. Mr.. La Bouchere sent the
little lady a very pretty note after the
opening, as did also one of the Pail Mall
Gazette staff. Sunday her handsome
apartments at the Westend Hotel Cont
mental were the scene of much congratula-
tions, as we'll as of sympathy for the un-
fortunate circumstances of the opening
night. One very old member of the No
bility called Sunday, besides a number of
young aristocrats. Lolita will yet be the
rage in London"
Crash of Grain Merchants.
New YORK, Jan. 12.-Much excitement
is caused in the Produce Exchange and
neishborhood by the announcement that
the firm of E. W. Coleman & Co., -four
and grain commission merchants, at the
corner of Eighth and Water streets, were
unable to meet their obligations. In con-
sequence of this news the market de-
clined from liz to 2 cents a bushel on
wheat, and from 34 to r cent a bushel on
corn. Soon afterwards it was announced
that j.. M. Fuller & Co., grain brokers, on
Bridge and State streets, had also sus-
pended, and made an assignment. The
failure to E. w. Coleman d Co. caused
great surprise. The firm has been estab-
lished for more than thirty years, and has
done an extensive business in Hour and
grain. Being ''long" of wheat and corn,
principally of wheat, they gradually got
into such a position that nothing but a de-
cided turn of the market could relieve
them from en- Embarrassment, and such a
turn did not occur. Coleman & Co. made
an assignment for the benefit of their
creditors. 1t is impossible at present to
estimate their liabilities, but they are
heavy, and their assets are chiefly of such
a character that they are not available at
present. Most at the firms indebtedness
is due outside of the city.
It is supposed that the failure of J. M.
Fuller u Co.. was precipitated by a de-
cline in the market consequent upon the
suspension of Coleman & Co.. The firm
has been doing a speculative business.
1t is not supposed that its liabilities are
extensive. The firm was embarrassed
about seven months ago, but managed to
tide over. At 6 P. NJ, at the office it was
stated that the liabilities would probably
not exceed $100, 600. The failure is due
directly to a heavy decline in wheat, and
also to losses by the failure of Lane &
Son, and for a Detroit house a few months
ago.

New YORK, Jan. 12.-The fftieth ami

within the church until after the com

ness in gait, but pronounced the benedic-
ton in clear ones.
POstpOnememt of an Extensive Suit.
New YORK, Jam 2.-The suit of William
@. Fitzsimmons against Gen. Name was
