P { THE ST. LOUIS FIRE Mayor Welsh, of Topeka, Shows Where the Conflagration Broke Out. ‘SMOULDERING FOR HOURS. * Another Body Found—Mr. Mun- ster’s: Jewelry. SAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. {3% TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Sr. Louis, April 14, 1877, Orrin Welsh, Mayor of Topeka, Kansas, tells a strange story in connection with the Southern Hotel fire on Tuesday night He occupied room 119, just over the storeroom, wheré the fire is supposed to have originated, Ho says he entered his room at six @clock in the evening and found it filled with smoke, He summoned a bell boy and asked the cuuse of the smoke, Tho boy said he supposed it came from a grate somewhere in the hotel, Welsh went out and returned at hall-past ten, There was thon a strong smell of fire in th and more smoke than before, Not being able to he went down to the night clerk and had his room changed to the fourth fluor, where he was sleeping when the alarm was made early next morning. THE FIRE SMOULDERING FOR MoURS. He Is quite cortuin the fire started early in the evere ing, slowly burning and gathering strength until 16 broke out with uncontrollable fury. Chief Sexton, of the Fire Department, contends that all the circum- stances point to the truthiuiness of*Welsh’s theory, and that the fire could not possibly have had such headway when the alarm was given had it not been Progressing several hours, There will doubtless be a very lively investigation into the matter, as there isa strong public demand that the responsibility of tho holocaust should be placed where it belongs. MR, MUNSTER’S PROPERTY, Tho half of Mr, Munster’s $25,000 necklace, which Was missing, Was fodnd tnis morning in the room formerly occupied by that gentieman and his lady, ‘The stones wero all in the settings, but thoir value will, doubtless, be somewhat impaired by the ordeal through which they have passed. A magnificent gold ring, belonging to tho same party and set with agate, with Saturn as a crest and with Mdnster’s initials in- side, has also been recovered, ANOTHER BODY FOUND. Another body, supposed to be that of a man, was taken from the rutns of tho Southern Hotel this after. Boon; but it was £0 badly burned that it could not be Tecognized, FIVE MORE GUESTS ACCOUNTED FoR. “Two more of the unaccounted-for guests telegraphed their safety this morning—Catson and Porter, of India- Rapolis. It 18 also kuown that R. E, J. Miles, of Cincin- atl, is sate; and tho W. S. Monroe, ot New York, whoso Bame was telegraphed last night, is believed to be W. 8. Morrison, of the same city, who is safe and now at the Lindell Hotel, INVESTIGATION BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. As the Fire Department bas received much blame from a portion of the city press and from many Individuals for alleged bad management of the Southern Hotel firo, Chief Sexton has made a little investigation of the matter in self-defence, He hag examined Mr. Russell, the chief engineer of the notcl and several employés Who assisted in the efforts to subdue the flames in the Moreroom. Russell reiterated his statement tcle- graphed last night, and gave it as bis opinion that the Fire Department was summonéd too late to save the building. The other parties cxamined corroborated Roseell’s statement, “SATE CLAXTON’S ESCA\PE—8SHE TELLS HEB Own STORY—LOST ALL HER EFFECTS, (From the St, Louis Times, Apri! 12.) A Times reporter visited Miss Claxton yesterday at the Lindell Hotel, with the view of gathering her expericnce of Tuesday night’s fearful disaster, and sho courteously complied. She was suffering from pervous prostration and was much distressed fegerding = Mii McClellap’s critical condition, ut made an effort to recount her experi- ence of the horrible night as follows:—“I left the Olympic Theatro immediately after the per- formance and returned to tho hotel with my brother, We went into the dining room to take late supper and there we found Miss Osborn and Miss McClellan. Miss McClellan was so bright and cheerful and I was so charmed with her sweet face and manners, littio imagining what was so soon to follow. After Didding them good night I went up to my room on the fourth floor and my brother retired to his room on the same floor.

Alter the performance atthe Olympic Theotre she returned to the Southern and partook of supper ip the large dining room, retiring for the mght half an hour later, The Grct intimation that sho had of the terrible danger was a loud rapping at all thé doors on the upper floors of the burning building. Her Foom Was located on the sixth floor, und the dense volumes of smoke fluoued the passages and curied into her apartwent, Sho sprang irom the bed and seized a towel, which she saturated with water and piaced across her face and mouth to prevent sutlocation.

THE ORIGIN O¥ THE FIRE AS DESCRIBED BY THE NIGHT CLERK. The fire had its origin in the storcroom; there seems to be no reason todoubt that. Further, the flames had communicated well among the combustible materials 1m that place and had almost reached the elevator bo- fore anybody bad obgerved them, ‘The discovery ms to have been made almost simultaneously by George W.

Attorney Gen- eral Devens stated to-day that he would probably not be consulted by the President in the selection of Judge Davis’ successor, and he could give no definite state- | ment as to whtn the appointment would be made. It seems to be now ttled, however, that the new justice will not be named publicly until the convening of Congress, ag in the caso of other appointments to be made, A notable feature in this connection is tho absence of Senator Howe’s name trom the list of aspirants, as, possibly with excep:ion of Bristow, no candidate bas Loon urged with such persistency as he, A continuous pressure has been applied upon (ho President through Wiscon- sin politicians, under tho lead of ‘Boss’?

There bave been already two performances of this flue work, and we are promised another, The New York public is accredited with a taste for novelties, and it is but just to the management to say that in producing this opera they have given us not only a novelty, but an attractive one. It has been produced with a care and propriety in the stage arrangements very unusual in the Academy, The opera has been cast in such a manner as to include all the strongest members of this company, which in its entirety is a much better sone. than we have bad tor some time in Italian opera, The smaller parts being in| much more capable bands than usual, gives us most satisfactory effects in tho large concerted numbers—a {act which appeals more loudly to any real music lover than the single effect of a Puttl or a Santicy tn individual solos could possibly ao. In our notice of the Orst perlormance we mado hasty mention of Mine, Paimiert and Signor Celada. At is but common justice to the other members ot tho company to acknowlegge the important part they play in @ satisfactory representation of this opera. First in point of interest we must mention Signor Bertolasi, who tn the part of Rodrigo developed ports of excel- lence which astonished even his warmest ad- mirers, This geuteman’s mez@ voce was known to be beautiful, but it had also been noticed ‘that he had a way of killing the effeet it produced by a sudden beliow at the end of bis arias, evidently in- tended to catch the immediate applause of the large unthinkivy majority, butin this rdle he uppeared to be thinking more of nis part than of himsel!, and the result was a series of smoothly sung passages, well phrased and delivered with an intensity of fecling which called down on him the plaudits of the whole house, ‘The Princess Eboli was Signora Rastelli, This Indy appeared to be much aflected by nervousness during the earlier portions of the opera, tho re- sult being that sho sang at times slightly out of tune and dit not seem sure of her execution; but in her Onal aria, *O don fatal she was more at ease, and delivered the cautabile portion Of the scena with excellent eflect, Signora Persiani appeared as tho page, ‘Tuis lady being already kuown to our public and her part being a very smail on the mere mention ia all that 18 necessary, Signor Dal Negro represented the part of Filippo (the King) with a great deal of dignity and discretion, This is the first important part in which we haye seen this gentleman, and we should judge from this one impersonation that he was even better as an actor than asa singer, We should also mention that the chorus ts unusually large and contains many fine voices, especially among the soprani and bas: In the grand con- certed pieco which ends the first aci—by far the strongest and most effective act in the opera—it was the chorus, more even than the svlo singers, which made it the great success it undoubtedly was, Tuo orchestra js unusually largo and the balance of instru- ments well chosen, but ihey lack that oneness in play- thg which only comes from long and careful rehears- ing. The New York public should remember that this, if not the last, is certainly the only chance that It will have of seeing this fine work of its favorite composer, Verdi, and it ia to be hoped that it will eagerly avail itself of this rare opportunity, If Signor Albites does not win golden pieces as well as reputation by this production it will not be because he has not endeavored to bring outa new opera with all the requirements of good scenery and orchestra, The managers of the Ltalian opera season havo wisely come to the conclusion of lowering their prices, and during the remaining nights of the present season the orchestra reserved seats will bo gold for $2. This ac- tion will not tail to increase the popularity of the Italian opera, THE BROOKLYN PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. The Brooklyn Acadomy of Music was last night filled to overilowing by a@ brilliant and fashionable audience on the occasion of the fifth concert of the Philharmonic Society. Wherever the eyo turned it lighted on pleasing and happy faces filled with enthu- siasm and beaming with pleasure, So far as the beauty and fasbion of Brooklyu could make tho concert @ success it was dono, and it was no wonder that the crowd of musicians gathered under the con- duct of Thevdore Thomas drank in inspiration looking out on the sca of lovely faces spread out before thom. Perhaps it was this all-pervading sentiment of the presence of youth and beauty that Jent an undefnable charm to the music, # gentle sensuousness that filled the soul like the gentle zephyrs of Southern lands, whieh tan she passions and make us feel more keenly the joyousness of existenco, But whether it was the infucnce of beauty or the excellence of the music, the performance was certainly thoroughly en- joyable, and Thomas’ orchestra seemed to play with more expression and more perfect execution than ever belore. Tho audience listened with intense earnest. ness, and while the orchestra was playing the ' dropping of a pin could have been heard, Tho programme of the evening opened with Bach’s Suite in ) No, 3, consisting of an over- ture, air, gavotte, zourrée and gigue, @ composit.on full of brightness and animation, ‘The stirring, viva- cious movement of this work put the audience in ex- cellent humor with themselves and the musicians, so that when Mr. Werrenrath appeared and sang ina strong and effective rather than finished or touching mapoer Handel's ‘Rendi 1 al cigito”? they applauded him heartily. It was with pieasur we heard the orchestra strike up Beetnoven’s Second Symphony in D ma- jor, one of the most beautiul of wil the great musi- ‘cian’s works, full of sweetness and liquid melody. was played with wondertul precision and expression by theorchestra. The joyous character of the inusic, abounding in ment, made this ‘work singularly appropriate to the composition ot an audience brimining over with tue exuberance of youth, Passing by un adagio molto, io, scherzo aod allegro molto, the music touched « sensitive chords of the human heart,a nd when the last notes died away one folt the kind of regret experienced in Waking from a pleasant Lut too briet droam, Schurman’s *Bieder aus Osten’? was given tor the Hirst time and met with fair success.
