New YORK, May 1.-Col. Maplesou
was prevented from leaving on the City
of Chicago to-day, by the service of an
attachment by deputy sheriff. There
is less interest in the legal trouble in
which the bank of the metropolis, the
academy stockholders and Mapleson are
involved than in the questions as to what
effect the action of the stockholders may
have on the operate prospects for an.
other season. Mapleson says that the
future of the academy will be a perfect
blank, and that the stockholders will
not be able to induce any manager to
take hold of the concern hereafter. In
stead of having two opera companies in
New York there will be none.
