which followed her attempt to cancel the
contract induced serious illness The Lon
don engagement continued to be a nightmare
for many months Mr.. Bum threatened
the songstress with all kinds of legal pains
and penalties. Mrs. Grote was employed as
intermediary; but still the songstress dread
of the great man went ON growing. AT last,
after many heart-searchings, and after Men
delssohn and Mr.. Chorley had laid their
heads together, with view of persuasion,
Jenny Lind agreed to visit London-but
under the management of Mr.. Lumley, of
Her Majesty's Theater, not of Mr.. Bum, of
Drury Lane Thus painfully was the way
paved for one Of the most solid artistic
triumphs associated with Jenny Lind's
name-her appearance with overwhelming
success at Her Majesty's.
The excitement of the public on Tuesday,
the 4th of May, 1S47, exceeded anything
that had ever been witnessed by the oldest
frequenter of Her Majesty's Theater. From
an early hour in the afternoon the colonnade
in the Haymarket was thronged by crowd
of ladies and gentlemen in evening dress,

BLAINE'S BOLD STAND.
SOME INSIDE HISTORY OF THE LATE
DISPUTE WITH ITALY.

The Secretary Refuses to Be Dictated to by
Any Foreign Government-No Orders
From Italy Anowed-Rudin; Invited to
Do as He Pleases.
NEW YORK, May pa copy of the
italian green book, sent by Baron Fava to
Prof Allesandro Oldrini, has reached here.
1t gives the history of the diplomatic dis
pute between the United States and Italy,
including the documents submitted to the
Italian Parliament by Marquis Rudini.
These documents cover the period from
the lynching in the parish prison up to
March %, when Baron Faya left Washing
New Orleans to Rudini, informing him of
the lynching, appears at the opening of the
book Next comes dispatch from Fava
to the italian Government, confirming the
facts and asking that protest be sent to the
United States Government Then follow
Rudini's replies, one to Corte, advising him
to apply to the local authorities for redress
and protection, and the other to Fava in
structing him to enter a formal protest.
In an interview with Baron Fava, which
is also spread upon the pages Of the book,
Secretary Blaine says the United States
will not receive orders from any foreign
government and that he will stand by The
Constitution. Baron Fava replied that
neither his government nor any other cOun-
try would be convinced that the internal
laws of the United States were an obstacle
in the way of Justice. Mr.. Blaine reiterated
that he could not change the Constitution,
and the Baron replied that, such being the
case, he was sorry to be obliged to tell him
that the moment had come for Italy to
affirm the inutility of its representative in
Washington.
Baron Fava then produced the dispatch
from Premier Rudini recalling him, which
Mr. Blaine read, and then said eagerly;
"All right, and we will recall our repre-
sentative from Rome" Baron Fava ex-
pressed the hope that this would not be
done and Mr.. Blaine said he would speak
to the President and reply to the Baron
before dinner.
Baron Fava cabled his government that
Mr.. Blaine not having replied as promised,
he called on him again, and Mr. Blaine
complained that he was being hurried in a
manner contrary to diplomatic usages. 'I
do not recognize the right of any govern
ment," he continued, "to tell the United
States what it should do. We have never
received orders from any foreign power,
and we will not begin now. Please inform
Marquis di Rudini that the Federal Gov
eminent cannot give the assurance which he
requires, and that it is a matter of total in
difference to me what persons in Italy may
think of our institutions 1 cannot change
them, still less violate them. You assure
me that four italian subjects have been
massacred, but L have my doubts on that
point. Still, L do not contest their nation
ality, but while 1 ask for time, you want
an official declaration on the spot. Well, L
will not do anything of the Kind, and you
may do as you please

Didn't Live Long at the Farm.

Santio Marchio, an inmate of the City

day morning of consumption. He was sent
to the Farm only "a hours previous to his
death. He came from Italy, has been in
Pittsburg during the past 81 years and has
wife and family residing in Italy, to whom
he has been sending all his earnings Owing
to this he was penniless when taken sick,

til the Davis failure was announced, but
was then checked, though it is not believed
that prices or credits will be affected beyond
few days. Hides are dull, with some con-
cessions, and the boot and shoe trade is
generally dull. At Philadelphia collec-
tions are very bad in groceries.
Pittsburg notes that railroad orders are
held back waiting for crop results, and
while window glass does well, flint glass has
slack business. At Cleveland drygoods,
groceries, hardware and shoes improve
fairly, but machinery, lumber iron ore and
clothing are dull. At Cincinnati the tobacco
trade is brisk, but the carriage trade is not
quite up to last years. Detroit notes good
prospects, but the margins are close.
At the Western Metropolis.
At Chicago drygoods sales exceed last
years considerably, as do rates of clothing,
and there are very fair country orders for
shoes. Wool receipts gain over last year 80
per cent, corn 80 per cent, and dressed beef,
cheese, butter and hides gain, but in cured
meats there is decline of so per cent, and
lard, flour and barley are off So per cent
Crop reports at Chicago are very salts
factory, and the same is true at ST. Paul,
Omaha, and many other points where the
recent rains have made wonderful improve
ment. Indeed, one rain was probably
worth some hundreds of millions to the
country, for extensive droughts seemed
near. Trade at Western cities is quiet but
very hopeful. At the South also crop re-
ports are highly satisfactory, and trade is
only fair, or even sluggish now. In general
it may. be said that the crop outlook has
rarely been brighter than il is now, and this
gives the strongest reason for hope that any
present depression in trade will be tenn

ness the Execution.
BROKEN Bow, NEB., May 22.-Albert
Havenstine, murderer of William Ashley
and Hiram Boten, was hanged at 1:3O
o'clock this afternoon. When the trap was
sprung, Havenstine's body shot down six
feet. There was snap and groan, and
the body fell to the ground. The rope had
broken. Havenstine, half conscious, was at
once picked up by the Sheriff and his depu-
ties and brought back on the gallows. The
rope was doubled and the trap again sprung
This time his neck was broken and death
was apparently painless.
Fully 5000 people had gathered from the
surrounding country, but in order to wit
ness the hanging were obliged to resort to
mob violence. A stockade 16 feet high had
been erected around the gallows Just outside
the Jail. The crowd made a dash at the
frail structure, and in twinkling it was
completely torn down, exposing the gallows
to view. As soon as this was accomplished
the crowd became orderly, and Sheriff
Jones conducted the prisoner from the Jail.
He was accompanied by Father Haley and
retained his composure to the last

HELD FOR A COURT TRIAL.
Why John f. Allen Was Not Discharged by
Alderman McAIasters.

The case of 7. C. Pitcairn versus John +.
Allen for the alleged larceny of certain
written instruments containing the testi-
mony in the divorce proceedings of Merri-
man versus Merriman, was up for hearing
before Alderman McMasters yesterday The
only witnesses examined were Daniel Snyder
and Mrs Merriman.
Snyder testified that he was with Allen
in Pitcairn's office and saw Allen take the
papers referred to. Mrs. Merriman, in her
testimony, said Allen had told her that he
had the testimony in his possession. Alder
man McMasters on the strength of this
testimony, held Allen for trial at court.

SANITARY MEASURES NEEDED,
The Ruins of the Seventh Street Fire Getting
Worse Every Day.


No. 8 Engine Company was busy yester-
day pumping the water from the cellars of
the burned buildings on Seventh street.
The fremen did not at all like the job, as
the smell from the putrefying bacon, etc.,
was very strong.
When Superintendent Baker, of the
Board of Health, stated that there was no
smell from the buildings he must have been
speaking from hearsay, for yesterday after
noon corps of men were busy removing
some of the debris, and as they laid bare the
animal matter stencil arose from the piles
of refuse which would have done credit to

was more harmful The residents are loud
in protest against the nuisance, and they
declare that sanitary measures should be at
once taken.

tective Glenn happened to espy the festive
sports and sent them to the lookup in the

Delusions of a Demented Man.

John Bryan was arrested for refusing to

was sent to Jail for five days yesterday
morning by Alderman Succop, but the
Warden refused to receive him, as he showed
evidences of insanity. He claimed that
heaven would be located at lock No. 8. on the
Monongahela river, and made several other
assertions

which neither they nor their protectors had
power to resist. In a few minutes the house
was completely filed Neither in the pit,
nor even in the 3-shilling gallery, could
standing room be found at any price for the
disappointed applicants who continued to
beslege the doors, and many of those who
had succeeded in effecting an entrance were
wedged into corners from which the stage
was invisible. Queen Victoria was one of
the most enthusiastic auditors.
Her Last Opera-Barnum's Engagement.
1t would be too gigantic task to record
here the succession of triumphs in opera
which followed that first night of wild en-
tnuslasm. Let us pass on, then, to the
singers last appearance in opera:
With what feelings did Mile. Lind see the
curtain descend for the last time on the
thrilling scene in "Roberto il Diavolo,'' in
which, as she herself narrated in after years,
she "stOOd at the mans right hand, and the
fiend at his left, and all she could think of
was how to save him?" + That the last
round of applause, the last wild shout from
pit and stalls and gallery and boxes was alb
solutely nothing to her, we know well
enough. 1t could not but be less than moth
ing. She was too well accustomed to it all.
The stage had really been her school
room ever since she was 10 years old, and its
ceaseless round of mOnOtOnOuS hard work
was as prosaic as the routine of the school
room to jaded governess.
Her retirement from the operatic stage
was succeeded by q triumphant series of
concert appearances, which have now be-
come matter of history-the last, by the
way, being so lately as 1888, at Malvern,
and, fttingly enough on behalf of a char
ity, The following passage is now invested
with melancholy interest, which it did
not possess at the time it was written:
We must credit Mr.. Barnum with being
the first to take the true measure of the ca
pabilities for proper pleasure which the me-
chan1cal advances of the age had opened
out; and more than that, with having had
the courage to make tremendous venture
ON the strength of his own calculations of
what had become feasible. The American
tour of Jenny Lind was one of the very
earliest manifestations of this modern char
acteristic. And, moreover, it signalized the
extension of scale which the immense size
OF the United States would introduce into
the imagination of Europe
