 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 Rudolph Aronson's comic opera company drew an overfowing house st Manager Walls cosy theater last evening. The att trsctiye power of this popular musical come dy is certainly as wonderful as it is captivat ing. Seldom is there better combination of Hbretto and music than this joint produc- tion of Messrs. Jaksbowsky and Paulton, and no comic opera has better withstood the or- deal of repeated representation. The per formance last evening was very creditabie one. Miss Isabelle Urquhart, beautiful metropolitan prima donna, sang the title role very charmingly and received the usual en- core. Mir. J. H. Ryley and Mark Smith were also very successful in their portrayal of the two thieves. The chorus and orchestra were large and well trained. The performance will be repeated this afternoon and evening.

TIE LADY BOOMERS SCOOP

To the Editor of the Globe-Democrat
HOPE, Kan, April 2O.--The item recently
published in the Globe-Democrat regard
ing Miss Daisy Nannetta (uot Marietta),
the female Oklahoma boomer recalls to
memory one of this daisy girls scoops
made for the Louisville Courier-Journa
while the writer was city editor of that
paper several years aao Miss Daisy was
an irrepressible hanger-on about the news
paper offices of Louisville, and
her ready wit and sharp tongue made
her general favorite with the
reporters, in whose room she was regular
visitor. Her ambition then. although AT
the time employed in the public schools as
a teacher, was TO become reporter or So
ciety editress, and it was occasionally found
convenient TO give her an assignment at a
wedding, etc, and through this work she
soon became familiar with newspaper
work and thoroughly understood the value
of scoop
1t was probably 2 O'Clock on one OF
the stormiest mornings in winter that
l sat at my desk waiting the re-
turn of one or two absent dis
trict" reporters who were max
ing a final round of the police stations.
All the other reporters had been relieved
for the night. and | was alone in the city
rooms. A sunden ring of the telephone
walked me out of u sesni-doze. and an-
swering the call | found myself talking
to Miss Daisy, who was at the Tenth and
Maple streets depot of the Louisville &;
Nashville railroad, a mile away. While
passing the station on her way home she
had learned, by accident, of bad wreck
out on the line some twelve or fourteen
miles distant, and special, carrying
several surgeons and wrecking
crew was about to leave for the
scene of the disaster. | was informed by
her that the news of the accident was
known only at the depot, and that there
was not reporter in sight. As the train
was about TO leave, aud 1t would be i'm
possible TO get a man to the station in
time to catch ii, accepted Miss Daisy s
offer TO accompany 1t and wire us report
of the accident in time for the regular
edition, which generally went to press
about $50 or 4 O'Clock a m.
About $3.50 o'clock a messenger boy, in
hot haste bringing Us a very readable and
newsv account of the disaster which had
resulted, If my memory is not at fault, in
the death of two employees of the road and
the injury OF two others and had been
caused by a large tree being blown down
and falling across the track Miss Daisy
had boarded the special visited the wreck,
gathered all particulars obtainabe and
then walked nearly two miles TO the tele-
graph station TO get off her special, which
proved TO be very sensational piece of
exclusive news in the Courier-Journa Of
that morning.
This excellent piece Of work and my
knowledge of Miss Daisy conviuces me
that if she manages TO get possession Of a
claim In Oklahoma she will manage TO
hold it and take care of herself in all other
respects 81 the same time. G. y.

INSANE OVER A MURDER.
IN. A. LEWIS, Manager,

ALBUQUERQUE. y. NJ, April ga
track walker named Frank Chase WAS
found murdered at Chaves Station, on the
Atlantic & Pacific, March 20, aud his muir
derer, I.orenso Lopez, was captured. The
dethronement of the mans mind appears
to be one of the sequels of the crime. The
murderer was captured by w. II. Hulvey
and Fred Rogers. He was turned over To
the proper authorities, who brought him
to this city, and after preliminary trial
was bound over to the next grand jury and
was confined in the county Jail. Fred
Rogers was called upon to assist in bury
ing the vicUIm. A hole was dug down
three feet when solid rock was found. This
necesstated the digging of another grave,
which was done few yards from the first.
The man was placed i'll II coffin and laid
out of sight. His friends left the scene.
and in doing so neglected TO fill up the
first. Rogers was employed on ranch
in the vicinity and had occasion to pass
the uncovered hole frequently, both day
and night. One day he called several of
his associates to him and with auivering
lips told them that the track walker had
never been buried; that he was not dead,
and that the whole thing was hoax. for
he had passed an uncovered grave sup
posed to have been the place where tie
track walker was buried. From that time
until his sudden departure from the ranch
he was constantly talking to himself
about the track walker: the part he took
in the capture aud burial, and at times in
his worst moods would accuse the boys at
the ranch of endeavoriug TO poison niul.
He had all kinds of deiusions. and when
he left be was a thoroughly deranged man.

took place between soldiers and a mob
near Red House. The rioters were
well organized, being divided
into groups of fifty men with
a leader of each group. These groops cor
porated to break the ranks of the soldiers.
AS in former struggles the rioters were de-
feated and many were arrested. The ri
o,ers tried to set fire TO the gun
factory at Hornals The troops
fired a volley into the mob and wounded
many persons. The excitement continued
up TO midnight, several shops were
looted. A commissioner OF policemen was
nearly stoned to death and was rescued
with much difficulty by a party of
dragons.
