Eisen SEB Mr. Burrhus? Suicide. FINANCIAL TROUBLES SUPPOSED TO HAVE UNSETTLED HIS REASON. Frederic C. Burrhus, who was found dead in his room in Everett’s hotel, in Barciay street, New York, Thursday morning, with two gas burners turned on and the room full of gas, was formerly a prominent resident of Sing Sing. He carried on a prosperous stationery trade. At the close of the war he bought a plantation in Georgia. He was then worth about $60,000. He found rice-growing unprofitable, and after another unfortunate venture in Iowahe returned without his fortune. For two years Mr. Burrhus has been collecting Alabama Claims for prosecution. Mr. Everett sald yestenlay: “At first Tscouted the notion that Mr. Burrhus had committed sul- clde, but something has been tound since which changes my opinion, In one of his pockets was a large’ envelope which his son, F. C. Burrhus, Jr. opened. He found among the papers an agreemcn between Waldo Hutchins, jr., and I believe another son of Congressman Hutchins, both lawers, on one | side, and Mr. Burrhus and Wm. H. Roach on the other, that they should Jointly press all the Ala- Dama claims they could collect, and that the law- yers and Burrhus and Roach should recelve a thtrd each of the amount realized. On another paper Mr. Burrus had estimated that his share ought tocome ‘to $6,900.” Mr. P. D. Penney, a nephew of Mr. Burrhus, then saw Waldo Hutchins,jr., who said Mr. Burrhus had no claim on hun, ashe had recently bought. Mr. Burrhus’ claim for $300. Mr.Penny and others think that Mr. Burrhus’ disappointment in this matter so preyed on his mind that he took his life while in- sane. Messrs. Waldo Hutchins, jr.,and Augustus S.Hutch- ins said: “Mr. Burrhus and Mr. Roach were our clients in this matter of the Alabama claims. Burrh- us’ money gave out. AS we thought the claims were good we advanced money under an agreement that we were to havea third of the proceeds. Burrh- us borrowed more and more money from us, and we thought he was drawing out all the money he would make by the transuction, so we required him to assign over to us his third of the proceeds. Whether we get our money back depends ou the re- sult of the litigation. It is more difficult to ‘the claims than we thought it would be. AS sum of $6,900, which Mr. Burrhus figured as his share, it ts too steep. He was a very sanguine person, ani estimated that the full amount of the claim, with interest, would be recovered. He seemed to be satisfied with his dealings with us.” a eee Amusements, &c. NATIONAL THRATER.—“The Romany Rye” will be repeated to-night for the last time.

Correspondence of Tae EvENrxe STAR, New Yor, Oct. It scems to me that the truth ought to be told about the Metropolitan Opera House. The great enterprise 1s not a success. Whether Mr. Abbey will be able to bring it up into the position of pop- ularity formerly held by the Academy of Music 1s questionable. Abbey can do great tings, but it is, the general impression among men conversant with operatic matters here in New York that he has a white elephant on his hands this time, The Hirst night of the new opera house was extraor- dinarily brilliant, bat the splendor of the jewels and the gorgeous dressing of the audience did not atone for the significant fact that the decorations of dhe house itself were tawdy and the acoustic Properties disappointing. ‘The auditorium 1s too large, the voices of the singers are dwarfed and it takes an orchestra of eXtraondinary volume to pro- duce any effect. The decorations of the whole house are in yellow,and it isa very disagreeable yel- low at that. The Mnancial failure of the place seems almost inevitable now, though it locked bright enough a few weeks ago. The stockholders can afford to lose money, and expect. to be. out of pocket a small amount, but I suspect that they ‘Will make @ most determined kick if the receipts do not pick up before long.

Sembrich, failed to bring the fone | and one of the most brilliant so In the world sang to a parquette less than half Tull It certainly indicates that something is de- cldedly wrong when such a superb pair as Cam? panini and Sembrich cannot fill au opera house Which hag all the attraction of novelty to com- Inent ‘The Academy goes on in the good old way.

THE NATTY GIRLS. ‘The girls look natty in the streets now. What with English walking coats, jockey roundabouts, nabob ulsters, Newmarket coats and Hussar Jackets they look as though they had been freshly ‘turned out of the tailors’ shops) The tailor, in- deed, has almost as much to do with women's ap- parel nowadays as the dressmakers.

He has made three suc- cessive failures hand-running at the Fifth Avenue theafer, and Manager Stetson is now wondering why he pays him the enormous salary of $800 a Week, Mr. Coghlan’s first appearance in “Money” was extremely disappointing, but people let him off easily, because they supposed he had played the Part so many times that he had become fatigued and Indifferent. ‘They looked for his acting in the revival of “A Celebrated Case” with much lnverest, but Were again disappointed. “The Duke's Motto” Was his third character In this country, and he was no more successful in this than in Uie other two.

Many of them bow instinctively to the tragedian, and he invari- ably respondscourteously to them. Hels a man of extremely attractive manners and dignified bear- ing.
