Lovers of opera will have an opportun-
ity of hearing the celebrated Montague-
Torner opera company at the Opera
House. This company comes here high-
ly recommended. To—nigbl they present
the "Bohemian Girl." An exchange
says among other things in speaking of
Miss Montague: “From her first song,
“I Dreamt I Dwell in Marble Halls,"
right through to the conclusion of the
opera her singing and acting was a com-
plete success. Her singing filled the
theatre with music such as was never
before heard in this town, and she sings
with such a tender expresston as will
never fail to captivate the car. Miss
Montague has also a fine declamatory
power, and when she is roused by the
exigencies of the occasion the t tie
fairly rings with the wonderful effect of
her voice, and again becoming so pianis-
sinto as to be scarcely audible. The audi-
ence was quite enraptured with this
lady’s singing, and the applause was
something tremendous."

The star of the Imperial Japanese
troupe now with the Haverly-Cleveland
minstrel company enjoys the rather
elongated name of Denkikichi Takara-

name ought to be able to do almoet any-

ment that Billy Emerson's California
minstrels are to beannexcd to the Haver-

The llonutonic Hearing.
The hearing was resumed yesterday
when Colonel Stevenson, vice-president,
general manager and director of the
llonsatonic railroad, was cross-examined
by Judge Harrison before the committee
on railroads, in reference to the manage
ment of tltsraiiroad. Yesterday, he tes-
tified on the direct to the necessity of
branches so that the Ilousatonic system
could have its own line into New York
city from Canada and elsewhere. The
Consolidated road had broken up its milk
business and refused for sometime to
check passengers or freight at Norwalk.
Now through pawngem must connect
at Bridgeport, instead of coming down
the Da’nbury and Norwalk and saving
time and expense. The first part of the
croswxnmination was devoted to trac-
ing the Colonel's railroad pedigree from
the time he was a handler of freight on
the Illiusatonic, twenty-three years ago.
Then came the questioning as to the sur—
vey of the proposed line. Mr. Osborn
and Mr. Mchugle made it and complet-
ed it about a week ago. (The report
with profile was exhibited.) It begins at
a point on the Derby road at Orange and
ends at the state line at Byrum’s Cove. It
is substantially the line we intend to
build. It runs within a few miles of the
Consolidated through Milford, Bridge-
port. Norwalk and so on to Porchester.
At Milfcrd it is about a mile from the
village. The line is that heretofore sur-
veyed by the New York and Connecticut
Air Line—Mr. Parror‘s line. It is ac—
ceptable to the Housatonic and will be
ur-ed if theiegislature gives the requisite
permission. He described the circular
issued by the Housatonic according to
which the cumulative dividends long
due on preferred stock under the old
management were arranged for by an
issue of two shares of the new preferred
and 8100 for every share of the old. This
settlement was first suggested by the
old Barnum-Bishop management in 1870.
The dividends thus provided for had
been guaranteed- He did not dissent
from this arrangement and did not per—
sonally investigate the debt; an expert
did tbai.—Newa.
