CHICAGO, April 24-There was a re-
msrkable scene tonight during the per,
iormance Of the opera, Lucia di Lammer,
moor atthe Grand Opera House, by the
Milan Grand Italian Opera Company,
The audience was miserably small and
very apathetiC, and the singers thoroughly
discouraged at their failure to drew during
their engagement Of week. The audi.
enCe were preparing to sit through the
last act, and were nOHChalantly watching
the left wing for the appearance OF Lucia.
They watched In vain. The chorus stood
in mute amazement, and the musicians in
the orchestra pit grinned. The audience
stAmpted their feet and Clapped their
hands, while the gallery Missed repeatedly,
The curtain was rung down and there was
wait OF i've minutes, nally Senior
Alberto AaTata, manager OF the company,
made bis appearance on the stage and said
that Miss Eva Cummings, who was sing.
ing the role Of Lucia, had suddenly bp.
came Ill and was too indisposed to con.
tinue her part Of the performances. How.
ever, the opsrA would 60 on without her.
While ztrata was speaking Lucid's lacs
appeared ut the other side OF the stage, her
eyes fastened on the manager. When he
concluded she exclaimed; '"That's not go
not one word he has uttered is true, d
want my salary" The face was with.
drawn and the audience relapsed into
cheers and Misses, The curtain was drawn
again and Miss Cummings arrayed in the
white costume OF Lucia, walked TO the
centre OF the stage. In her right hand
she held the dagger with which she was

rlared: II have received no money from

reason Tor not singing" and the prilna
donna bowed herself gracefully to the left
side oil the stage.
She turned 10 make her exit, but the
curtain was held fast by invisible forces
inside, and she turned toward the right
exit. "I'll get of this stage some way"
sue exclaimed, and with u rush she pushed
the curtain back. She had got about half
way through when the invisible force
again tried to pin the curtain against her
exit. The white.robed Lucia slubbornly
persisted. Suddenly, with a jerk, the
curtain was drawn.
Whether 1t was because Of the dagger
or the result oi the applause OF the au.
dlence that induced tue invisible force to
so quickly let the curtain alone, no one
present was able 10 say. The curtain,
however, did open and the graveyard
scene, without buried Lucia, was done
10 the satisfaction Of everybody.

have received this dispatch from Mr.,
Hoxie:
ST, LOUIS, April "a,
".'The third weeks earnings will not be
ready to-day, but the estimate is that they
will show an estimated increase OF about
500, 900 Us compared with last year.
ut IL hard TO get away from such
iacts. | think the improvement would
have been very marked but for those
labor troubles, Public opinion has risen up
and asserted Itself about this matter and the
formation OF law and order leagues in the
southwest has exerted great moral ID
duencO and In effect destroyed the orga'
nization Of the Knights Of Labor there. In
iac. to be q knight Of Labor there is about
synonymous with being called criminal.
0i course there is some bushwhRCking
and occasional attempts To throw trains
1tf the track, but the tracks are fully
guarded and the result is that everything
IS going along nicely.
Mr.. Gould was asked what he thought
ot the threats made against the Wabash
railroad in the event OF his obtaining con-
srol Of 1t at the sale tomorrow. he re-
piled: 1.-THE Wabash employs hardly
any Knights Of Labor. A reorganization
was made after tho August strikes in re.
.ard to the labor employed. The Wabash
will be sold tomorrow under fore
closure, aud 1t will be bought in by the
bondholders. The majority Of them are
IN Scotland and Eugland, and the rest are
widely scattered throughout the country"
