"Come , wake up , " said cffistr Chas. Rogers , of the Fort Green police , tea a man apparently asleep on one nt the park benches at 11 o'clock yesterday mr-rning. The person addressed wza neatly attired , and not over 30 years of j ; ag % and clutched a dark leather ' satchel in his band. He did not hear tha order , and all attempts < w arouse him proved futile. The officer pro cured a wheelbarrow , placed the man in it without much ceremony , and made his way to the station house. Ambulance Sureun Geo. J. . Mcrrll- leas , of the Homeopathic hospital , soon ascertained that the condition of the man was due to an overdose of morphine. From papers found in the man's possession , it was ascertained that he was Dr. W. H. Lusideuberger , of No. 400 , Ponrtb avenue , Louis ville , Ky. He was about 5 feet 10 inches in height , pale incomplexion , and with curly chestnut hatr. Hta clothes irere dark and of good mate rial , and there were buckles on his shoes. About $35 in money was found in one of his .pockets , Tbe satchel by his sidecuntained some hy- perdermic instruments , two bottles of morphine , one of which had bean opened , and a box of emetics. Each bottle contained about one-eighth of an ounce of morphine , and the label bore the tride mark of a Louisville druggist. All attempts to arouse him from his sleepy condition were una vailing It was the opinion of doctors * that he had taken a heavy dose of , the drug accidentally , for hr. had theap- pearance of "being very ill , a 5 might have taken morphine to alleviate" his sufferings. , lhe police are t > f the opinion , however , that the young doctor , giving way to feelings of de spondency , went to the park with the intention of committing suicide , al-- thongh papers ' found sbed no light on his intentions. Tna'eighth of a grain of morphine is an ordinaiy dose , but thq amoul&nca surgeon was inclined to think that Dr. Lnsidenberger , hav ing the appearance of being addicted to the use of tha drug , bad taken much more than the common amount. His recovery is considered doubtful , el though physicians hesitate te hazard any positive opinion as to how the case may terminate. Nothing appears to bo known of the doctor in this city. The captain _ of police made diligent inquiry in his neighborhood , and the police have been directed to try and find oat if th > doctor had relations m this city.

PARIS , March 24 4 p. m It h been ascertained that the cause of the fire which destroyed the opera house at Nice , la&t night , was a leak in Ihe gas pipes behind the scene * . Tbe leak was caused suddenly In Home way unknown , and allowed great vnl umes of gas to escape. This ignited , before the leak was discovered , from the rear of th stage lights , and the explosion which followed at once set all the rcenery and inSsmable material on the stage en fire and before the audience had recovered from their first horror the entire building was in flimes. To add to the calamity some one turned the ess off and then efforts were mode to stop tha fire. And then a terrible piuicenaued , the audience be * came frantic ip. their endeavors to es cape. All sought their personal safety and the weaker men and the women were remcrsely knocked aside and trampled upon. Prim * Donna Donadco was miraculously saved by friends. Many t > f the actors chorui were burned to death. One hundred and fifty dead'and charred bodies have already been dug ont of the ruins to- dy. Many more remain in the debris. The city is in a state of the wildest sorrow and excitement. Another dispatch dated Nice , 3 a. m. . says : "Up to this Hour fijty-oine bodies have been recovered from the ruins of the Italian opera house. It is feared that many more have lost their lives. The tire commenced soon after the curtain had risen for the performance of "Lucia di Limmer- moor. " The subscribers for orchestra stal's and the boxes of the grand tier had mostly not arrived. The major * ity of the victims belong to the work ing ciaas. Snortly after the fire be gan the gas exploded and the house was plunged into com elate darkness. A scene of terror nd dismay 'ensued , which bagsjar * discription. A detachment of sailors from the Eqaadron in the harbor arrived on the scene and displayed great gallantry in rescuing the people and combatting the fire , which waa subdued toward 10 o'clock. Strakissh , the impreasirio , was slightly hurt. Signora Blanch Conadia , one of the leading artist * , made her way from tha stage tothe street sifely. Oae whole family of five persons , aud another family of threa pcmna , are known to have per ished. Relief subscriptions for the Bofferers have been opaned through out Nice. Later dispatches from NiceFranco , concerning the hro in thu Italian oper-i house , mom than confirm the iirst fesm indulged in at the hour of the disiater. It is now known th the explosion in which the tire orig inated was that of a gis retort or res ervoir , located behind the stage. Whether this wa ? the result of care- If ssness or accident , cannot yet be as- curtained , f nrvivora say that im mediately after the explosion the gas lights in the entire house were s'mul- tr.neoinly extinguished leavi'g tee crowded audience iu the dark. Intense excitement prevailed an the audience was composed of the fashionable world from Pans. London and all parta of Europe. The season is now in pro- gres and as a popular watering place , Nice was crowded with a greater num ber than for som-j time past. Tester * day also waa thu first day of the yacht races.
