IMrRESSAnI0s IN HARD LINES.
Abbey, schocTcI n Grau Compelled
to- NInkc m AssigmMmcMt.

NEW YORK, May 23.-After an extended
and brilliant career as operate and dramatic
managers, Messrs. Abbey. Schoerel and
Grau, controlling the Metropo itan Opera
house and Abbey's thoGter in New York and
the fremont theater in Boston, have found
themselves in very serious financial Difficult
ties and have made an assignment for tho
benefit of their creditors.
The operate ventures since 1891 have
given them magnificent profits, but with two
or three exceptions their dramatic under
takings have been most disastrous, and tho
latter have not only swallowed up all the
great gains of the opera seasons, but have
run the firm into such debt that they find
themselves, as a firm and as individuals,
practically stripped of every dollar that they
owned. The crisis was p~recipitated by Mr..
Abbey's present serious Illness.
The general theatrical speculations, such as
the Lillian Rus e | company and other engage
ments made in the firm name, were more
particularly under the hand of Mr.. Abbey.
When the assignces have made their re-
port it will probably be found that the sum
total owed by the firm docs not exceed $780,
600, and possibly it may prove to be a some
what lesser sums. Against this the firm has
numerous ass Is, which, if carefully nursed
and not forced upon the market may pro-
Guce $500, coo. or at least Sl5O,O0O.
Louis J. Phelps. assignee of Abbey, Schoef-
Eel & Grau. could not say anything definite
today about the affairs OF the firm. inc
published statement that the firm owes $780,
900, MIR. Phelps said. however, was merely
speculation. the facts n5t having been ascer-
tainab,e up to the present time. The fact
that George l.. Rives. the senior member OF
the firm of which Assignee Phelps IL a mem
| Der. is a boXholder and director of the Metro
| polttan Opera house would seam to indicate
! that the stockholders Of that establishment
and of which Abbey. Schoeffel & Grau are
the managers, will not push matters to eX-
tremities If they can possibly avoid doing so.
Maurice Grau, the member of the hrm
who has been in charge Of affairs at the
Metropolitan Opera house. sailed on the Nor
mandie today for I.avre. it is said. to renew
| contracts with the principal operate stars
who appeared here during the season or
| opera recently closed.
The opera seasons since 1881 have been
continuous successes, but the $500 900 prohts
could not stem the tide of dramatic disaster
that has been setting against the hrm.
Among all the long list of great and lesser
actors and actresses whom the firm has man
aged during the last few years, Irving ana
Bernhard are almost the only ones who
have brought q profit to the partners, the
Lillian Russell company heading the disas-
trous list with losses of nearly $2OO,OOO.

MAKERS AND SPRINGERS.

3 springers.
HOGS-The hog market was just the reverse OF
what it was yesterday, so far as the course OF
the trade was cone rned. Yesterday II opened
easier and closed stranger, today 1t opened n
little stronger, but closed easier.
Taking the market as a whole, II was not
much different from yesterday; that Is, the hogs
sold in Just about the same notches. There
were perhaps more sales at 50 and $3.O21E and
fewer at SO 10 than yesterday, for the simple
reason that there We're more heavy hogs and
fewer light than yesterday.
The market was reasonably active and the
most of the hogs sold in good season and the
yards were cleared before the close.
The hog market Of the past week has expert
enced a steady decline in values. and, while
the falling off in prices has not been so very
great, 1t has been continuous, with no reactions
OF any Importance. At the opening of the week
hogs sold on this market at S.ljH3. 20, mostly
at So 1919 20. on Tuesday the market broke nc
and on Wednesday there was the sam decline
and again on Thursday, which carried the marke,
down to t3.OOd3. 10. with the bulk of the sales
was no material change in values. the range of
prices remaining practically tn same. The de
cline this week has carried the market to the
lowest point touched in the history of the yards.
There has never been "A time b fore since the
Omaha yards were opened that hogs sold ms
low as during the past week, At the same time
the market here has been all the week higher
in proportion than other markets,
Aside from the fact OF low prices the mark"i
has been in very satisfactory condition. The
demand has been active and the offerings Of
zach day have generally met with ready salt
at the prevailing prices. Representative sales:

Cripple Crcek's Postmaster Creates II
Decided Sensation.

DENVER, May pa special dispatch to
the Times from Cripple Greek, Colo, says:
Wagon load after wagon load Of mail mat
ter was taken from the Cripple Creek post
Office yesterday afternoon to the city dump,
where an attempt was made by the pest
masters assistants to burn it. What was
not consumed was covered with oral. when it
became known to the public that a whole
sale destruction of mails was going on, many
citizens went out to the dump and saved
some of their mail. In near y every instance
the mail thrown way was plainly addressed,
the box number appearing in full view. Mail
was there for some of the NEST prominent
citizens Of the camp.
One of the worst features of the afair is
the fact that mail addressed to other places
was destroyed.
When Postmaster Rose was called upon
for an explanation, he said the burning was
done on the authority of the rostofhce in
spector.
The postmaster acknowledged that some
mail was destroyed which ought not to have
been. Reputable citizens say that they pay
into the postofice at certain intervals a stip-
ulated sum of money for the privilege of re-
ceiving mail in advance of other peop'e, who
do not pay extra. An official investigation
will be asked for.
