IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.
Failure of Abbey, SchOeffel g. Grau,
Managers OF Opera Companies.

NEW YORK May 23-After an extended
and brilliant career as operate and dramatic
managers. after introducing TO the American
public the greatest actors and singers of Eu-
rope. after presenting grand opera on a more
Splendid scale than has ever been attempted
in this country, Messrs. Abbey. Schoeffel e.
Grau. controlling the Metropolitan Opera
House and Abbey's Theater. in New York,
and the fremont Theater. in Boston, have
found themselves in serious financial Difficult
ties and have made an assignment for the
benefit of their creditors. Their operate
ventures since 1891 have given them mag
nificent profits. but with two or three excep-
tons their dramatic undertakings have been
most disastrous, and the latter have not only
swallowed up all the great gains of the
opera season. but have run the firm into
such straits that they find themselves, as a
firm and as individuals, practically stripped
OF every dollar that they owned.
They say the crisis was precipitated by

and the season having been finished, there
was no trouble in that direction The artists
had been paid, had gone 10 Europe, and most
of them had been re-engaged for next
son. Mr.. Schoeffel was mainly in control of
the fremont Theater, in Boston, in which
the firm was profitably interested. The gen.
erai theatrical speculations, such as the LII
liam Russell company and other engage
nents made in the firm name, were more
particularly under the hand of Mr.. Abbey.
Then, too. while Mr.. Grau busted himself
with operate matters and Mr.. Schoeffel with
Boston affairs, Mr.. Abbey was general
fnancer, or financial manager, of the firms
interests. AS a result of his inability TO at
tend to business. his partners found them
selves in most embarrassing position The
firms dramatic business was going on from
bad TO worse. and Mr.. Abbey was lyiI.s at
the Gilsey House too III 10 give his partners

A consultation was held with several gen.
tlemen who are intimately associated with
others business and personal friends of all
three partners. The assignment was decided
upon and the papers signed yesterday Col.

Phelps were named as assignees.

IRELAND IN TROUBLE
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. PAUL HAS LOST
HIS FORTUNE OF s1,5OO,0OO.

Companies, I'm Financial Straits.

Sr.4PAUL, MIMI, May 23.-Archbishop
Ireland three years ago was worth $3.50. 900;
to-day he is practically poor man. Through
real estate speculation he made vast for
tune; through the same channel he has lost
1t. The fortune which the Archbishop Gre
ated, and which has since taken wings, was
a private one. He speculated with his own
money, and whatever he gained or lost was
individually. II no way will the church be
affected directly through the Arclbishop's
turn in fortune, but indirectly II means a
loss TO the church of a magnificent cathe-
dral. a weIl-endowed school. or both.
Three months ago the Archbishop awoke
TO the fact that he very seriously en-
barrassed. He owned large tracts of prop
erty in 81. Paul and minor holdings outside
the city, but Inc property was unimproved
and brought in no income. He had bor-
rowei large sums OF money with which 10
carry on his deals and for the interest and
principal Of the different mortgages, which
were fast becoming due. His real estate, in
good times, would De easily worth 80 per
cent over and above his liabilities, but val
ues have shrunk heavily, money was tight,
and ii was impossible to sell property such
as that in which the Archbishop had his for
tune invested, He determined 10 call upon
several Of his friends to act as an advisor
committee. The members of the committee.
SO they say. while all personal friends of the
Archbishop, are none of them members OF
his church, nor are they his creditors. They
state further that they have loaned him no
money as a committee, nor have they UNDER
taken to raise any funds to aid the Arch
bishop. They have acted. they say, simply

insisted on an immediate settlement. Arch
bishop Irelands creditors are all large
money-lending corporations or individuals,
say the members OF the advisory committee.
In no instance has any poor man been in

time BY the Archbishop was all on first

Negotiations with a number OF creditors are
still pending. but members OF the committee
say they are lawfully satisfied that legal
