Saturday EVENING"
Few entertainments given entirely by
singers of the city have been more ambi-
tious or better calculated to give unquali-
bed pleasure to m audience, than the pro-
duction of Gilbert & Suilivan's opera
"Iolanthe," which will take place at the
opera-house Friday and Saturday even
ings. The argument of the opera is full
Of interest, and 10 as follows:
The opening scene shows the gambols Of
band Of fairies. who are but half-hearted
in their merr1ment because of the banish-
ment, twenty-five years before. of their sis
ter Iolanthe, no committed the great Of
tense of marrying . mortal. The fairy
queen, at the urgent solicitation of the
fairies, recalls the sentence of Punishment.
and Iolanthe, appearing, greatly as;onishes
all by the announcement that she has a
son twenty-fo -four years old, Strephon, who
Is betrothed to Phyllis, ward in chancery.
Ioianthe and Strephon are shortly after
wards seen in earnest conversation by
Phyllis and some British peers, and Phyllis,
believing Strephon false, forsakes him for
one Of the peers. Strephon calls upon the
fairy queen for assistance. who sends him
into the English parliament. where he soon
becomes very powerful. About this time
the lord chancellor concludes to marry
Phyllis himself. but is prevented by
Ioianthe, who discloses the fact that she is
the chancellor's wife. whom he has sup
posed dead for twenty-five years. The
fairy queen, at the chancelIor's suggestion,
changes the iaw from Every fairy shall
d . who marries a mortal to "every fairy
shall die who don't marry a mortal"
Phyllis and Strephon are reconciled, the
peers and fairies wed, and all end. hap

RAILRoAD DIREcToRs INDICTED


Derew Furnishes hail. and Rockefeller
and Others viii Do So.
NEW York. March 31-The directors of
the New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad have been indictes. by the grand
jury for misdemeanor in connection with
the fatal collision in the Fourth avenue
tunnel on February % last, whereby there
we're six lives lost. The names of those

Hunt. E H. Trowbridge. William D.
Bishop. Nathan G. Wheeler. Henry c. Rob
inson, Edward NJ. Reed. Joseph Park,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Henry s. Lee, Will
lam Rockefeller and Leverette w. Brainard.
The Indictment charges that the corpor-
alton committed the offense, but the
twelve men, being directors. aided and
abetted the corporation. Another count
says these twelve men ran railroad and
heated the cars with stoves. Still an
other says that certain corporation,
being steam road. and these men being
directors, they permitted the trains to be
heated by stoves. As soon as possible
the twelve men indicted will be ar
-aigned to plead. Chauncey II. Depew
was admitted TO bail late this afternoon in
the sum of 5000. Cornelius Vanderbilt
became his bondsman He was the nrst
Of the indicted directors to furnish bail.

forward in good season and furnish secur-
ity for their appearance at the trial

At meeting OF the trustees Of the Seat

pany yesterday afternoon, Chief Engineer
Harry r. Talcott was chosen managing
trustee, to act in President Dunham's
place during the absence Of the latter
President Durham, who Is also president
OF the construction company, left for New
York yesterday. and will be gone about
three weeks, Strengthening up the affairs
OF the road and preparing for the transfer
OF the forty-one miles Of newly completed
road n0rtlIof Sedro from the construction
company TO the railroad company.
1t IS probable also that when this section
OF the road has been transferred, the stock
which was bought by the Northern PACING
viii be transferred also. The Northern
Pacific has another payment Of $250,o00 to
make, and has until June to make 1t,
but it has been understood that the hnaI
payment would be made and the stock
transferred as soon as the road to the
boundary was completed and turned over
by the construction company 1t is likely
therefore that the transfer of stock will
occur during Nr. Dunham's visit to New
York. A meeting Of stockholders under
the new order Of thing will probably fol-
pany will be effected as the Northern
Pacific officials desire
1t has been moot question whether,
when the transfer is made, the Lake Shore
road will be operated under division
superintendent Of the Northern Pacific,
or whether an entirely distinct organiza-
ton viii be maintained. The former plan
is commended for its cheapness, but many
points are made in favor of totally dis
tinct organization.
Whichever plan is adopted several Of the
present officials intend to retire, as they
have other interests 10 which they propose
to devote themselves. President Dunh1m
is understood to have received nattering
offers from several Eastern roads. but has
declined them. preferring TO make has
home in Seattle. Superintendent Dunn
will take the hrst opportunity Of escape in
order TO devote his attention to his mining
interests. Others may do likewise, but
they have not ye. declared their inten-
tons.
