Suffocated by Coal Gas. i RIVAL JIANAGERS. The Horning of llroom'i "Opera flonne" la Alcnphln How a Mannaer made Himself 'Horn" of the Town The Ntory of a Blende. The Memphis Avalanche of Jan. 20 says: The announcement yesterday morning that Mr. James Schooles, proprietor of the "Varie ties," on Washington street, and Mr. James Bays, one of the performers at that establish ment, had been indicted by the Grand Jury of the Criminal Court, on the previous evening, on suspicion of being connected with the incen diary fire at Broom's Opera House, about a month ago, created no little stir in the city all the parties being well known and was the general theme of conversation on the streets. For some time the detectives have been at work making inquiries, nnd Mr. Broom, the proprietor of the establishment, has been doing all in his power to ferret out the perpetrators. But. although suspicion has been directed against certain parties, still no light was thrown on the matter till hist Monday night, and this was done by a young woman known as Lou Georgia, who has been employed as one of the performers and in the "wine-room" at Schooles' for the past five months, whose nar ration is given below. Miss Lou Georgia is a young woman who, in theatrical parlance, is called a blonde; that is, when on the stage she fports a gigantic chignon with other appen dages, completely coveting her own hair, which is a beautiful light auburn. One of our repor ters paid a visit to MISS LOU GEORGIA yesterday, for the purpose of hearing her ac count of the whole affair. In answer lo numerous questions, she made the following statement: My name is l.ou Georgia; that is my professional same. I do not want to give my real name, as my parents are respectable, and engaged in farming near Evansville, Indiana, residing there for forty-nine years. I am twenty-three years of age. I have been intimate with Schooles for about four months. We have been food friends since that time until now, and don't know that we are not good friends yet. . THE OPERA nOUSE FIRE. On the morning of the fire at Broom's Opera House, I left the "wine-room" of the Varieties about 4 o'clock. I was boarding at Ella Evans' on Poplar street, near the engine house. I had only been in bed a few minutes when Schooles came into my room and asked for water to wash his hands. He said: "LOU, ARE YOU MT FRIEND?" And I replied: "Of course I am; but what do you mean by that?" He said: "Lou, I am boss of this town now." I suppose he meant in the variety business. I said to him, "Jimmy, be quiet." now Bcnooi-Es was "boss." He then said, "You can hear better than I, for you know I am a little deaf; listen If you can hear the fire bells, and if you can hear them tell me, and if Charley Broom has an opera honse in the morning I will give yon the best Bilk dress in town. If you hear the bolls get up and tell me where the fire is, and see if it is not Broom's opera house." I got np in bed and said: "jIMMT BCnOOLES, TIII8 19 AWFUL, he told me. 1 listened for a moment and I heard the fire bells; so I jumped out of bed in my night dress and ran out to see where the fire was. I went out at the door and looked down the alley and saw the fire in the direction of Broom's opera house. I went back to my room and told Jimmy Schooles ia what direction the fire was. One of his arms was bruised, and had marks on it, and he said while he was on the stage of the Opera House, he had fallen down one of the d d traps. I never made any threats against Schooles since this thing took place. On the morning after the fire, I went over to the hall; the performers were laughing and talking about it. I could not look up while they were talking about it, I felt so bad. I felt that I ought to tell what Jimmy Schooles had told me. I said to Jimmy Hays, "Jimmy, I sup pose somebody set it on fire," but he did not reply, and could not look me in the face; I always felt that I knew something that I ought to tell; I don't want to tell anything more about it, as as I don't want to do anything against Mr. Scbooles for malice; I like him better now than anybody In Memphis. (Tears.) If he had given me money to go away, I would not have told about it; if I could recall it I would do it now. (Tears.) I WOULD GIV MT LIFE U he had never told me about it; I am not going to run away now, however, but will stay in Memphis till this thing is cleared up, and till I get another engagement. Reporter Miss Lou, why don't you go home and live with your parents, and be a good girl? Miss Georgia smiled sadly, said not a word in reply, put out her hand and said pleasantly, "good-bye," when the interview closed. Mr. James Schooles furnished securities to the amount of tSOOO for his appearance for trial in the Criminal Court. Mr. Hays, whose bail was fixed at $4000, was unable to furnish the necessary sureties, and he was remanded to jail. - A TRAGEDY IN MEW YORK. Four Person Huftaeated by (lam. Charles Moller, proprietor ot a bakery at No. 1497 Third -avenue, between Elphty-iourtb and Elghty nfth streets, discovered early last .veiling that four persons, who occupied the rear room on the second floor of bis premises, had been suffotated by the escape of gas. The deceased persons ere John Lougnlln, an Irish laborer, age 27 ; his tfe, aa age 80; his son, 1). Bernard, age 4; and Suaaa bands, age 25, living with them. When discovered all were lying on a bed In Mt mom. and seemed to be aileep. Apparently the. had died wlrtiout a struggle. Captain Ityrues, of the Twenty-ihird precinct police, was Informed of toe tragedy, and at once Degan an investigation, a, orgeon was summoned, aud, after examining the bodies, be gave it as his opinion that death had taken place within forty-eight hours. Furttier In vestigation showed that the gas had escaped from a drop pipe In the celling. Moller stated that he had until rtcent y only used gas on the lower floor of the building. i The front room of the secend floor was rented by him a short time ago to the Oriental Ciub. and Mol ler employed plumbers tu put gas pipes in the club room. The work was finished on Saturday, and used by the club that evening. The open drop pipe seems to have been unnoticed by the plumbers and the occupants of the premises, and consequently there was an escape of gas during tne entire even ing Into the room occupied by the unfortunate fanitlv, who, It is conjectured, retired early and were asleep before the smell of gas had attracted much attention. Last evening the smell In the room was very StroDg. Captain Byrnes arrested the plumbers, John Halpine and Charles Colvllle, and held them to await the action of Coroner Sehlrmer, who will Investi gate the matter to-day. Meller, his wife, Charles Wilson, William Brown, S. 8. Penrose, and N. Berge, Inmates of the bouse, were also detained as witnesses. The affatr created intense excitement In the vicinity, a large and curious crowd congre gating around the building until a late hour. A. Y, Utibun to-day. OBITUARY. Iseea Gannett. A despatch which we publish elsewhere states that Iff. Leon Oambetta has ratified the armlstloe con cluded by M. Jules Favre, and will not resign, as it was at first rererted that he would, in consequence of the capitulation or Farts. But just after this an nouncement comes another te the effect that the hot-blooded Southron has put an end to his career by committing suicide. The report Is, as yet, unconfirmed ; but, taking Into con sideration the nature of the man, the stupendous task in which be has for months past been engaged, and a sad failure of his efforts to rescue his unhappy country from German domination, it will surprise no one If the report should prove true. Leon Oambetta was of Italian descent, his parents having been Genoese, and was born at Call or a, in the south of France, on October 80, 1839, and was therefore but little over thirty-two years of age. After studying law, he was ad mitted to the bar of Tarls In 1859. He eon-' tlnued to practise with much success, but without attracting general attention, until he was retained as counsel for the persons Implicated in the disturbances attending the demonstration In memory of Baud in, at the cemetery of Montmartre, on December 8, 1863. Before the trial was con ceded, he was one of the best known and most popular men In France. The speech which he de livered on this occasion was his first political speech, but It created an immense sensation. "For twenty years," wroto a Paris correspondent soon after, "no such speech has been heard at the rarls bar." It was characterized by great dignity of manner, energy of diction, and Irresistible argu ment, and was delivered In a voice of thunder. The young advocate displayed the possession of a won derful command of words, an extraordinary fer tility of imagination, a deep and thoroagh culture, a profound knowledge of political philosophy, aud, above all, a marvellous mastery of the art of ora tory, which, added to his stentorian tones, swept everything before It. In March, 1S69, the defense of the Journal de V Emancipation, published at Toulouse, gave rise in the south to enthusiastic demonstrations ia favor of the young advocate. At the general elec tions, M. Oambetta presented himself simultane ously as a candidate or Paris and Marseilles. He embraced the policy of the irreconcilable opposition, and made great Impression by his appearance and his Impetuous eloquence at the public meetings of the electors. He was elected both In the First district of Paris, and In the First of the Bouches-du-Hhone at Marseilles, but preferred to sit for the latter constituency. In the Paris district he received nearly 22,000 votes out of a total of 83,000. Roche fort the "Irreconclllable," a Kepubllcan of a far dif ferent type, who was elected in his place, received but 18,ouo votes out of a total poll of 32,ooo. In the exciting events which preceded and fol lowed the ascent of M. Olllvlcr to power, M. tiarn betta took a prominent part, and on the reassem bling of the Corps LcglBlatlf oa the 9th of August, 1ST0, after the outbreak of the present war, was at once recognized as a leader of the opposition to the late Prime Minister, declaring that France was 'governed and defended by incapables." On the lot of August he signalized his devotion to the country In the hour of Us peril by insisting that the discussion of the proposition to arm the people against the invader should not be postponed, and, although the names or the new ministers had Just been announced, was unwilling, In his exces sive zeal, to give tbem ny tltiio for d.libtion on a question which, as a Frenchman, he thought needed no deliberation. In common with Thiers, the veteran statesman and Orleanist leader, he joined hands with Count de Palikao, the new Pre mier, la the crisis, but urged with all his eloquence that the new Ministry should prove Itself worthy the confidence of the nation. "It would be lingular," hs said, "fort Ministry which owes its existence to the necessity of actinic wi'h promp titude to be the cause of frexb obstruction!. You have been brought to power by a predominant id's; I beg you to remain faithful to it, and not betray the autho rity reposed in yon. A universal arming is a question of public safety. Wi have opposed to as the entire German nation, which has been preparing since 18VI, and t rance alsoBinst be armed. Vou aslc if the country has dege nerated since m, and the people of Paris answer by a demand lor arms. On such a question the Government ought already to have formed aa opinion." When, on the 13th, M. Jules Favre made a propo sition for the appointment by the Chambers of a Committee or Defense, to be entrusted with su preme power, M. Gambetta made aa earnest speeoh in Its support, but it received oaly fifty or sixty votes, and was therefore lost. Oa this occasloa his enmity to the Bonaparte dynasty cropped out side by side with his devotion to France, and he declared unhesitatingly, In the midst of great confusion, that "on such a subject there must be no trickery ; the Chambers must pronounce between the safety of the State and that of a dynasty." On account of the mani festations of approval with which his assaults on the empire were received, It was found necessary to clear the galleries and proceed la secret session. But he appears to have had but little confidence In either the ability or patriotism of the Count de Palikao; and, just before the downfall of the Empire, Is reported to have said, in aaswer to the qnestlon If Palikao deserved all the trust he seemed to repose la him: "I'm, beeautt he U a traitor." When the grand disaster at Sedan came, M. Oam betta at once assumed a place by the side of Favre, as one ot the two leading spirits or the Govern ment or Defense, being charged with the duties ef the Ministry or the Interior. On October T, M. Gambetta left the invested capi tal In a balloon, and after a perilous voyage, landed near Mont Didler, where he barely escaped railing into the hands or the Prussians. He proceeded first to Amiens, twenty-one miles distant, and went from there to Rouen, which place he left on the bth, arriving at Tours, the seat of government outside of Paris, on the same day. He had been entrusted with the Ministry of War, as well as that of the Interior, and in this donble capacity became and remained until the tall or Paris the virtual Dictator or France, out side of the capital. His first act was the Issuance or a proclamation, la which he said: "Lt us rise np n wmk. and let ns die rather than submit diffract-fully to dismemberment. Tbroagh all our disasters, and under all tne stroke! of ill fortune, there remains tor ns the sentiment of the unity of fr ranoe, and tne indivisibility ot the Kepublie. Fans asserts most gloriously strain that immortal motto whioh calls once mure upon all France 'Look live the nation! Long live the Kepubho, one and indivisible!' " The enthusiastic-young patriot had almost Insur mountable obstacles to overcome, but he attacked them with all the fire and energy or his nature, and soon brought a semblance or order out or the chaos which had reigned. He organized armies, restored di-Mpllne to the ranks, dispelled dissensions amoi, tne leaders, and la short fairly accomplished wonders, w'hen the great disaster at Metz came, he did not gpatr; but, hurling the charge or trea son against Hurshal Bazalue, refused to lose ralth In the iaipinawiity 0r France.

He then visited the Army of t-,0ns, and at the close of the year repaired to Bordtam, to which place the capital had beet removed.

He then returned to Bordeaux, where cestui remained when the grand culmination of disaster came In the capitulation of Paris. During the Ave momentous months la which Gam betta was the foremost man In France, he deve loped administrative qualities of the highest order, A rare amonnt of prudence and foresight In one so young In years, so lacking in experience, and so extreme In views. Alihongh he failed signally to save France frcm disaster and humiliation, he labored nobly to achieve that end, and deserved well of his country and or the world. THE LATE THOMAS GARRETT. Fnnernl Services en Natordnv "ipeechce ef Lucre tin ftlott and Other. The funeral of Thomas Garrett, which took place at Wilmington on Saturday, partook almost of the character of a popular ovation to the memory of the deceased, though it was conducted with the plainness of form which characterizes the society of which he was a member. The Friends' Meeting House was crowded, except the place reserved for the relatives os the deceased, and, though probably fifteen hun dred people crowded into the capacious build ing, a greater number still were unable to gala admission. The coflln was laid in the open space in front of the gallery of ministers and elders, and the lid removed from it, after which there was a period of silence. l'resently the venerable Lucretia Mott arose and said that, seeing the gathering of the multi tude there and thronging along the streets, as she had passed on her way to the meeting house, she had thought of the multitude which gathered after the death of Jesus, and of the remark of the Centurion, who, seeing the people, s;id: "Certainly this was a righteous man." Looking at this multitude she would say surely this also was a righteous man. iShe was not one of those who thought it beet always on occasions like this to speak in eulogy of the dead, but this was not an ordinary case, and seeing the crowd that had gathered, and amongst it the large numbers of a once despised and persecuted race for which the deceased had done so much, she felt that it was fit and proper that tho good deeds of this man's life should be remembered for the encou ragement of others. She spoke of her long ac quaintance with him, of bis cheerful and sunny disposition, and his firm devotion to the truth as Le saw it. William Howard Day then came forward, saying he understood that it would not be con sidered inappropriate for one of his race to say a few words on this occasion, and to make some attempt to pay a fitting tribute to one to whom they owed so much. lie did not feel to-day like paying such a tribute, his grief wa9 too fresh upon him, his heart too bowed down, and he could do no more than in behalf of his race, not only those here, but the host the deceased have befriended, and of the whole four millions to whom he had been so true a friend cast a tribute ot praise and thanks upon his grave. Rev. Alfred Cook man, of Grace M. E. Church, next arose and said that he came there intend ing to say nothing, but the scene moved him to a lew words. He remembered once standing In front of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and seeing therein the name of the architect, Sir Christopher Wren, inscribed, aud under it this inscription: "Stranger, if you would see his monument look about you," and the thought came to him that if you would see the monu ment of bim who lies there, look about you aud see it bunt in stones ot living hearts, lie thanked God for the works of this man; he thanked Him especially for his noble character. He said he felt that that body had been the temple of a noblo M'lrlt. av. tho temnlft of God hlmsnlf. nrl some day they would meet that spirit in the heavenly land beyond the grave. lucretia Mott arose and said she feared the claim might appear to be made that Quakerism aione held the great central principle which dominated this man's life, but she wished it un derstood that they recognized this "voice within" as leading and guiding all men, and they probably meant by it much the earns as those differing from them meant, by the third fierson in their Trinity. She did not wish even n appearance to claim a belief in this voice for her own sect alone. T. Clarkson Taylor then said that the time for closing the services had arrived, ana in a very lew words commended the lesson of his life to those present, after which the meeting dissolved, and the bodv was carried to the grave-yard In the rear of the meeting-house, aad deposited in its last resting place. LSOAL INTELLIGENCE. The Itobblns Dlverce Case Lets of Scandal. Court of Common Pleat Judge Peiree. The divorce case or C. D. Robblns vs. Sarah Jane Robbins, which was resumed this morning, attracted to this cramped up and miserable court room a crowd that tilled the space as tightly as sardines In a uox, ana maae tne atmospnere so neavy that it was almost tangible. The case is rite with scandal of a character best calculated to enlist the morbid and depraved Interest or the habitual court lounger, and If the audience had been composed principally of this class or persons there would be nothing provocative ot special re mark ; but It was a notioeable fact that a large pro portion of the spectators were members or the bar, who left their oillces to spend a whole day In listen ing to the most Immodest testimony, the purpose or which was to show the shame and degradation or a woman, the daughter ot respectable parents, the wife ot a respectable gentleman, aud the mother of respectable aud good children. If there had been any peruaar questions of law.lnvolved, there might have been a decent reason for the industrious attendance or the lawyers; but as no such matters arose for discussion, they must submit to the ex planation that they are passionate'? fond of lewd scandal. The witness examined on behalf of the llbellant this morning was John litdey, said to be the hus band of the famous Mary Kldey, who testified as follows: I live at No. 1224 Cadwalader street, and am a cattle-dealer; in the spring of 1864 I took a young lady driving to Wlasahlokon, and there we met lanuy Smith, who Invited us to her house in Wood street, above Thirteenth; we went to her bouse, arriving there about t o'clock in the after noon ; a we got to the door I saw a woman come ont of the house; that woman was Mrs. Hob blus; I am sure It was, for I have seen her since; I am personally acquainted with Mr. Robblns, and know Mrs. Robblns by sight ; I afterwards saw her In the fall of 1864, a week or so after election; I was comiug along Wood street, and saw her come out of No. 1033 Wood Street:! thought I would see where she lived, and so I followed her; she went to Eleventh street, down Eleventh to Vine, np Vine to Twelfth, dowaTwellth to Chesnut, on Chesnut to Allen's furniture store; I waited till she came out, aud then she went up Eleventh to Spring Garden, down Spring Garden to Tenth, and up Tenth to a house with the name of C. 1). Robblns on the doorplate, where she went In; 1 saw her In the spring of 166D at ber father s at the Fox Chase; I bought a cow and calf from her father; his son said youLg Robblns was a cattle dealer, but he wanted tojhave nothing to do with theKobbins family ; I told htm he need nut put on airs, for I know two houses where his sister visited; I have no doubt this Is the lady; Fanny Smith's Is a house of lll-rame; so Is the bouse No. 1012 Wood street.

The case is yet on trial. The statement that the Mr. Robblns of this case Is a broker, which news appeared la some of the papers, is erroneous ; be has been for many years largely engaged la the Iron business.

Favre and Bismarck at i Versailles Full Par ticulars of the Interviews Excitement at Versailles When the Negotiation. Are Over Bismarck Whistles a Hljtntflcant Air. Vbkhailles, Jan. 26, via Londok, Jan. 80 Morn ing. The negotiations between Bismarck and favre form one of the most interesting chapters in the history of this most memorable war. The arrival of Vavie was known to none except tlose Immediately concerned In conducting him through the lines. On his arrival at the bouse, accompanied by Bis marck, In the Hue l'roveuce, he was Immediately admitted into the presence of the Chancellor. Altera few preliminary remarks, Bismarck said: "Well, Monsieur Favre, what lathe object of this visit?" Favre, much affected, replied, "The object is to put a stop to the terrible suilerlogs of the country, for now tbat hope of relief from without seems to be lost, l'arls must needs saek peace. All we ask is such consideration as a generous enemy might give WiUiout the 10H8 of advantage or honor." Bismarck expressed his desire to do all In his power to show his respect for the suiferlugs and pullantry of the French nation, consistent wlin the safety, honor, and interest of United Germany. He said that this had been from the first to the last the object aud desire or the Emperor and all his ad visers, since the commencement of this unhappy war forced upon them. Kavre first demanded the terniFjalready reported. Bismarck replied: "It is not in my province to re fuse or to accept the terms, but I must say the present proposals are such that I caouot myself ap prove them, aud 1 feel conlident my august master will reject them. However, H la my duty to submit them to bis consideration." After this formal business, Bismarck assumed the familiar and sociable air for which he Is famous, and Invited Favre to partake of refrcshmeut, add ing playfully that, from all reports, "you are not wall supplied inside the city." Favre consented, and a good dinner was soon spread. After the en tertainment Favre was politely but strictly placed nnder surveillance, and occupied an apartment over the Folloe Bureau. As already known, the first overtures were promptly rejected. After Favre's rct.rn with the acceptance of the terms In substance demanded by the Emperor, (treat excitement prevailed lu Ver sailles. The Mayor went twice to the Police Head quarters to endeavor to obtain an Interview, but received a peremptory order not to repeat the attempt, as such act would reader bim liable to im prisonment. All couimuBlcatlon between Favre and outsiders was strictly prevented. A subsequent Interview took place betweea Bis marck and Favre. The former afterwards waited on the King and the Council, when Favre's accep tance on the part of the Provisional Government was submitted. After Bismarck left the Kmperor, he walked Into the ooiue of his chief aid, General Leradorff, and beran to whistle a Prussian air which the trumpeter saunas at boar-hunts when the beast Is down and settled. After concluding for a time be walked out again, never having spoken a single word to any one present. Next morning, the 9rth, tho terms drawn up over night between BlBmarok and Favre In detail were handed to the Emperor, who opened the papers, read, frowned, and observed, In a disturbed tone: "Jknroretrop de balivtrne." There Is good reason to believe that the Emperor Is badgered and bcVuered by the tricks of politicians, bnt be will be well pleased when all la over. ' FROM THE STATE. The Coal Strike. AsnLAND, Pa., Jan. 31 The President of the Anthracite Board of Trade has just published a call to the coal operators of the Schuylkill region to meet in Philadelphia on Thursday next. All operators, whether connected with the local trade associations or not, are earnestly in vited to be present, as measures of the greatest importance to the general trade will come before the meeting. The Philadelphia Public Itulldlncs. Special Vtepatch to the Evening Telegraph. IIarrisuuro, Jan. 31. The Committee on Municipal Corporations of the House this morn ing unanimously agreed to report with a nega tive recommendation Mr. Miller's bill designed to prevent the erection of the public buildings at the intersection of Broad and Market streets. The Committee on the Price nnd Lynd Contest held a meeting this morning. Mr. Price was not represented by counsel, one of whom sent information that he did not intend to be present. Mr. Brlggs argued the motion to quash the peti tion of Price on the ground of the illegality of the certificate attached. The committee decided that Mr. Lynd should file an answer, and that it should not in any way be allowed to affect the motion to quash. The committee adjourned to meet to-morrow. It seems to be conceded that the ense will be permitted to go by default on the part of Mr. Price. The European Steamship BUI was again before the House Corporation Com mittee this morning. It was agreed to report it with the amendments that the tax exemption clause should be limited to ten years; that all the vessels should be built on the Delaware; and that all the material used in their construction should be purchased in Pennsylvania. Messrs. Bey burn and Marshall opposed the amendments, believing so important a measure should not be hampered at its start. Other Philadelphia members refuse to state what course they had pursued in the committee. Mr. Josephs was absent. The act repealing the Delinquent Tax Collector Bill of last session was also discussed In committee and made the special order for Thursday evening. It is believed that it will be reported as committed. The Answer of Mr. I.ynd alleges that instead of having 1150 majority he really had 21S5. It admits fraud in the Sixth division ot the Sixteenth ward, and also admits that the return of the Seventeenth division of the Fifteenth ward, 83 majority for Price, was not included in the general return.
