That they would suffer in the event of a re establishment of neighborhood limits is more certain than that publio interests would not be subserved and promoted by a general "shaking up." The matter should be looked at reasonably and determined in the light of praotical experience. Upon its ability satisfactorily to decide the questions growing out of reapportionment the Deruoorutio party will, to a great extent, depend for a continuance of jjubltc favor.

Air. iuap Suit. An incident of the recent state campaign in Pennsylvonia has brought Senator Matt Quay into court to defend, through the medium of a libel suit, his smirched reputation. While the canvass was at its height a paper published at Beaver, his place of residence, accused the Republican boss of having accepted $10,000 from Bardsley, the defaulting treasurer of Philadelphia. Mr.

Qaay declares that ho had no connection with Bardsley. During the campaign of 1889 he learned that the Philadelphia Republican city committee needed $10,000 for the campaign. He gave them his note for $9,000. They failed to get the note discounted and he sent them a check for the amount on the Deposit bank of Beaver. After the election the note was discounted and the certificate of deposit was sent by him to the Beaver bank.

Mr. Quay insisted that he had only a casual acquaintance with Bardsley and would not know him if he met him on the street. Against his accusers he makes out a formidable case. Whether it will look so serious after the defense has opened remains to be seen The Pennsylvania politician is fertile in expedients. His "pull" in his home borough is powerful.

That ho has sought vindication at this late day is creditable moro to bis combative tendencies than to any nioe regard for his personal honor. If Mr. Quay is as inoffensive and upright as he would have his neighbors believe, he has been outrageously maligned. Failure on his port to make an example of his accusers in other days is not creditable to the occupant of an office so high as that whioh he undertakes to fill. Ijnbllo buildings are fixing that section in Brooklyn for many come.

Another question Is this years to Does the time now call for a place for occasional, exceptional Use, for amusements or for meet ings, euch use as the Academy has so long and so admirably served? There Is not much doubt about this. Indeed, for one purpose there Is a demand which the Acadeinv Itself Is behoved not ex actly to supply that of a great music hall. New York after complaining for a generation of itswn defect in this respect has suddenly provided itself with more halls perhaps than it knows what to do with, There is not much danger of overdoing the business here, but as Brooklyn grows the de maud will become more emphatic for at least one large assembling place which neither tho theaters nor the churches can supply. However the Academy board may answer these several questions this much is certain Tho stockholders have no cause for anxiety concerning their property. GonmM Council Afftvirw.

Salary raising as a rule i9 neither popular nor prudent. Tho advance is so often gratuitous, made without reasonable ground, that tho opposition to every movement of the kind is stronc. uniform, a matter of course. If all cases were such as that of City Treasurer Halsey Oorwin, before tho board of aldermen yesterday, publio opinion on the subject would be loss rigid. Tho personal question is not involvedalthough Mr.

Corwin is an efficient and excellent officer. Tho place is an vm portant one, involving responsibility and trust bovond other posts, which are more liberally paid. Tho salary of the city treas, urer is now $4,000. If, as proposed by reso. lution of tho common council, which nnods only tho mayor's approval to tako effoct, it should be made $5,000, it would stand upon a pecuniary equality with that of other heads of departments.

The treasurer handles all the moneys of the city and he is under heavy bonds. Among the matters referred was ft petition from the Brooklyn uud Eockaway Beach railroad for permission to lay additional rails on Vesta avenue. It is proposed to ran a double track line from the Twenty sixth ward to Canarsie. Itesolutions relatiug to the death of ex Mayor Stryker were adopted; nor was Washington forgotten. Salutes are to be fired on the approaching anniversary, and the veteran firemen are to have $375 with which to celebrate the day.

More Aswccvor Needed. Upon one condition the bill introduced by Assemblyman Cahill, increasing the number of city assessors by the addition of four meni' bers, ouaht to become a law. It should be shown that tho services of the additional con. tingent suggested are needed. Enactment of the measure means an increased annual expenditure of $12,000.

The necessity for the outlay ought not to be incurred for the purpose of providing patronage for politicians or plums for professional placemen. The question is one that, can easily and harmoniously be determined one way or the other. Deference should be paid in considering the bill to the conclusions in regard to it reached by Mayor Boody. If, on investigation, the mayor rinds that tho contemplated increase is justifiable, he will doubtless notify the Kings county representatives at Albany of his approval. If it shall appear on inquiry that the work can be done without the proposed reinforc'euient, his commendation of the bill will be withheld.

The continued growth of the city is a strong argument iu support of plans for enlarging the assessment board. With fifteen assessors instead of eleven, the work of valuation would be more expeditiously conducted than is possible under present circumstances. No difficulty will bo experienced, if the bill passes, in securing suitable men to take the places. The board now iu office is an efficient body and discrimination should be exercised in keeping it up to the standard. For luiproreil Postal acilities.

Congressman John J. Clancy certainly de serves tire grutitude of all residents of Brooklyn for his efforts to improve mail facilities between this city and New York. It is an old saying that it takes longer for a letter to travel from a certain point in tho metropolis to its "address in Brooklyn than it does to convey the epistle to Albany. Efforts to learn tho cause of this have invariably been barren of remedial result. So urgent have become business needs for quicker delivery that our national representatives and the postmaster general have had their attention attracted to tho case.

The necessity is great and Mr. Clancy is endeavoring to meet it. Hois wise in placing ifi the hands of (hose authorities who are acquainted with tho details of the service the solection of plans. Whether pneumatic tubes be stretched under the river or under the bridge, or some other system be put in operation, tho residents of both cities will certainly bless congress for its aid, and warmly welcome the innovation. As matters are at present, a man who desires to communicate with a business or social acquaintance in New York can more speedily do it personally than by medium of tho mails.

Mr. Clancy's bill appropriates 95,000 for the improvement and we hope that Chairman Holman will for once sheath his pruning knife. f.earjiiiifr of ilie r. The gratification which the enemies of Democracy express at tho prospect of a fatal division in its ranks over tho question of free coinogo is a scarcely needed incentive to the adoption of prudent and conservative counsels by tho majority in tho house of representatives. The St.

Louis Globe chuckles at the thought that the dominance which the organization has will inevitably bring the cranks and radicals into control. It says that the "Western and Southern ends of the Democratic party in 1890 made gains which would have put them in power in the house without any aid from the East, but the increased Democratic vote from the latter section swelled the party majority to unexampled proportions and destroyed the caution and conservatism which would hava appeared imperative if the margin was smaller. The wish here is obviously father to the thought. While it Is true that an excessive majority in a deliberative body is apt to prove dangerous to the party possessing it, there are circumstances and considerations which often interfere to prevent any rashness or folly. An instance of such conditions is presented by the situation in which the present Democratic majority finds itself.

It confronts all the responsibilities imposed by an impending presidential contest. It knows that its course will be jealously watched by an ulert and clever enemy. It is aware that any falte stop may result in a defeat of the party next full. In the questions upon which the Democracy asked and obtained an overwhelming popular verdict in its favor it has a clear assurance of what it should do to win in the coming battle. Is there any reason to suppose that the force of such reflections will be lost upon the present Democratic members of the house? Is it true, as the St.

Louis Olobe says, that their numerical superiority has destroyed their conservatism and caution? We can discover no ground for giving an affirmative answer to either of these questions. Half a dozen or so of the more zealous advocates of free coinage have somewhat boisterously proclaimed their belief that that question Is entitled to an equal standing with any other issue and that the house ought to declare itself by afflrmutivo oction in respect to it at the present session. But there is no indication thut the great body of the members are inclined to any precipitancy in the matter. On the contrary, the utterances of leading men like Mr. Springer show that the majority will do nothing to strengthen the chances of Republican victory In November.

The spirit of the article in the St. Louis Olobe from which wo have quoted is a fair example of the spirit of nearly all the Republican journals. They are wait, ing with more or less confidence for some proof of the imprudence whioh a vast party majority usually begets. That which seems most likely to them Is the passage by the house of an unconditional free coinage bill. They affect to believe that the proposition for a monetary conference jvill not be geri.

ously entertained and that the action of the majority will commit the Democrutio party in euch a way that it cannot avoid the loss at that numerous element which is analterablf commercial structures, and tradeware houses TCESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1888. ffhU Paper Has a Cixeulatlou farcer yiian That of nr otUer Evculiiir Paper BBhiiKbiiii in (tin United Statea. lis value a au Advcrtltiuur Medium therefore apparent.

Chief Judge Earl. Governor Flower to day designated Associate Judge Robert Earl of Herkimer to Bucceed Chief Judge William C. Ruger, lately deceased, at the bead of the court of appeals bench. Judge Earl has long been one of the most valuable members of the tribunal over which he is now called upon to preside. In choosing him the governor has appointed a fitting successor to the distinguished jurist who has just passed away.

To the discharge of his functions in the higher place to which he is called, Judge Earl will apply his pre eminent ability as faithfully as he has in his capacity as associate judge. His appointment is preliminary to his nomination for the chief judgeship and his election thereto in the coming fall. The alection of an associate justice to fill the Vacancy caused by his promotion will also be 2n order. No Government Under a Blanket. The mayor on Monday had an open meeting with the heads of all the departments and ihe reporters of the press were all present.

result was set forth yesterday in our columns of report. There is no government j(nder a blanket iu that sort of thing. The iivect was very salutary in itsolf. It was very 'temarkable in the contrast which it presented Jo hole and corner administration, secret Tuie, covert policy, mute management, silenced counsel in short, government under a blanket. We are satisfied that the heads of departments liked it just as well as the mayor did.

We know that the people will like it, for that is just what the Eagle has been contending for on their behalf all these years. The reform has come. The result should proye that it has come to stay. The local government that hereafter secretes itself should be distrusted. Private government should be made a public suspect.

Amon" the benefits which will follow from the policy illustrated on Monday Bhould be the public knowledge of what the public servants are doing and the knowledge by the public servants of what their masters, the people, think of the matters under official consideration. If Mayor Boody is not very careful he will become a very popular man. The Academy' Buuiuc. A meeting was held last night to elect five directors of the Brooklyn Academy of Music. That uncommon interest was felt in the proceedings appears from tha fact that, while ordinarily only a quarter or a third of the shares are voted, last night 3,131 of the whole number, 4,000, were represented.

The cause of the mild excitement wag set forth in the Eagle of Sunday and Monday. Some of the stockholders thought that tho company was not making enough money and charged that certain directors, whose instincts were artistic rather than commercial, had refined away their pecuniary opportunities. So the easy going corporation was surprised by a contest. The regulars cast 2,125 votes against the independents' 1,000, more than two to one. Having thus eusily defeated their opponents, tho "msthetes," as they are called, showed that they, too, are "business" men by declaring a dividend of 4 per cent.

This is 1 per cent, more than the present interest on citv bonds. Looked at from the point of view of income the stock would not rate very high on the market list, and yet, considering other things, it is scarcely extravagant to call the investment "gilt edged." For, if the discontented owners are eager to lDtroduco close business principles into the management, they should give their attention to matters more important than the election of five directors. The cost of the Academy property in 1800 was was $200,000. Tho price of tho ground low and there was no thought of the advance which Montngiio street has accomplished in the intervening three decades. It was thought of no little value that the whole length of the building was thrown along the street frontage.

The thrifty method in New York, of providing only a narrow en trance on the thoroughfare and running up the main theater on cheaper lots in the rear, was not adopted. It is now seen that the plan chosen involved a waste of ground. There was further waste in the construction of the building. It is now evident to everybody that Montague street lots are too valuablo to be used in this way. How much they really are worth is of course largely a matter of conjecture.

It' was soiiis time ago that, according to the figures of a certain "high water mark" sale, the site of tho Academy of Music ought to bring about a million of dollars. It is not well to accept this estimate, but it is not extravagant to put the company choose to price at $000,000. If the should socure this amount and dissolve, a snug sum would be divided by tho stockholders. A profit of $400,000 on an investment of $200,000 made thirty years ago would be equivalent to a dividend of $13,333 a year for the whole time, betweeu and 7 per cent, annually, which is not a bad income as things go. The assocla tion would do very well by selling and liquidating on these terras.

But suppose it should choose to continue business in its present neighborhood. land could be bought on Pierrepont or Itemsen street for much less money than the Montague street ground would bring. If the directors should go to some other side street, Clark or Livingston or Hchermerhorn or State, the figures would be still lower. In any cane the most valuable lots even in the place selected need not be used. Room for a sufficient entrance is all that would be wanted on tho street.

The theater could bo built upon the rear land as is done across tho river. Tho saving obvious, as the lots on the principal street would be valuablo for other purposes. Cost of construction may be greater now than it was in 1800, but the new Academy, if it was resolved to preserve that name, could bo made more compact while still as ample ami convenient and better adapted to contemporaneous demands. Before adopting this policy the stockholders would have to answer to their own 'Satisfaction several important questions.

With it. the Kendal week at the Park theater opened last night, in tha worst weather of the new year, to an andlence that crowded the hooc In every part. The numbers were a tribute to the drawing power of sterling plays rendered by artists who scant nothing and to whose admirable efficiency and experlonoe tonohes of something beyod talent ara now and then imparted. Some plays produced by this company favor Mrs.

Kendal; some Mr. Koudal. ThiB one favors both equally, or. If it favors Mr. Kendal a little bit, the evidence it supplies of his power as an artist is grateful to such as realize that his wife starts with the advantage that is conceded to her sex by interest and chivalry the world around.

A better John llildmay than Mr. Kendal could not be desired, for his personal as well as hi professional qualities exaotly fit the part. As Mrs. Sternhold Mrs. Kendal satisfies every requirement demanded by the eye and the mind, though a greater conformity to tho traditions of the part was evident in her aoting than suoh a measure of domination of it and of freedom in it as the more sentient might desire.

The part controlled her more than she illumined it. Of course, the assumption was interesting and tha exquisite to daintiness, but when it is called a trifle stagey, something that qualifies entire praise rather than indicates 'junt the criticism dosired is suggested. The supporting company justifies the use of the word adequate. The members conventionally and energetically aot the parts for whioh they are oast in a way to es oape blame and not demand especial praise. The setting af the play is in good taste, its progress rapid, its interest unflagging.

Garmencita is now tha star performer of a company and she danced before an admiring audience last night. There have been many danoerc, some of them distinguished for lightness, Bome for beauty, some for grace, who have visitad this country, but there are none who are like Carmencita.

She is the spirit of Spain made visible and mobile. Every trait that country has comes before the eye in her rhythmic motions, and its pride, its dignity, its ardor, its strength of love and hate, its music, its poetry, even its cruelty and treachery find expression in the steps, the leaps, the tossing arms, tho swaying form, tho imperious gesture molting intoiuvita tion, tho black eyes kindling and flushing in the Sibylline exaltation of the dance, then lapsing into the dreaiuines that hints at Moorish origin. Garmencita dances all over, and it is not mere jigging that you see it i the sinuous, sensuous, Blitling and saltations of the Nautoh girl. She is appropriately accompanied by a troupe of Spanish students who mark the time for her with the snapping music of guitars. Tho demoiselle does not improve in looks and she uses too much ohalk.

The students play Bcveral pieces; John LeClair appeals as a mimic and equilibrist; Dag mar and Decelle are better singers than one usu ally hears in the vaudevilles; Herbert Albini is a clever manipulator of cards; the Barra troupe of masked musicians made a sensation, and the Warsohau brothers, one of whom is rather small to be traveling about the country, and contrib ute a well acted little sketoh. Next week Robert Downing will appear in a series, of Btandard plays and tragedies. THK AHPHION. "Mr. BarnfB of New ork" is such a genial man that hia visits to Brooklyn are occasions of pleasure to vast numbers of people.

At the Am phion last evening ho made himself more than ever popular, not so much that he has inoreased in breezincss of temperament and dash of Amer icanism, 'the latter sometimes characterized as "gall," but because he is surrounded by clever actors, not the least interesting of whom is Miss May Wheeler, who plays the part of the revenge ful Marina Paoli. Heretofore this character has been represented by a young woman who has, it is said, hot Corsican blaod in her veins, and she made us hate the ward of Danella and the foster child of murderous Id Tomaaei Monaldi. But here we have an Amerioan girl of everyday temperament playing the part with the fire of a Corsican tempored with the sentiment af a Modjeska. It did not take the audience longto recognize this fact, and Miss Wheeler received many tokens of admira tion. With her in the cast are Hugo Toland as tor.

Barnes, who is nimble on his feot and makes love furiously, but rather gushingly. The girl Enid, is made lovely by Emma Field. Others in the cast, whioh is strong throughout, are Bose Snyder as Lady Chartris, Lola Bertelle as Maud. Sheridan Block as Danella, H. O.

Brlnker as An struther, and Charles Lamb as Monaldi. The stage was picturesquely Bet, as usual, and the train scene, the most amusing in the comedy, whioh is a pleasing relief to a lugubrious story, came in for a large share of applauso. Next week Lewis Morrison in "Faust." AC1DSMY OF MUSIC The name of J. K.

He suc ceeds, in a half measure, for he is a nov ice, not having been regularly on the stage nntil seven mouths ago, so that muoh allowance should be accorded him.

He resembles his father in feature, but is smaller in stature and hag not the obeery, beaming countenance that ths elder had, nor has he become master of that infeotious laugh with whioh his father won the hearts of an audience.

Young Emmet's dafiolng is neat and nimble and he yodels as brightly and plays with tho children as affeotlonately as his father did. Mr. Emmet's work might be summed up aa being not a bad oopy of the elder's, with a reasonable praspeot that he will improve by praotice.

The young man displays willingness to respend to reoalU, something which his father did not always do. "Fritz Ireland" is as light and improbable as are most plays that are mado to lit a certain actor, but the scenery and embellishments are of a high order and the support ing company is proficient.

is a revival of warlike rumors. Naval prepa rations are being continued on a scale which would indleate serious oonoorn on the part of the administration overthe result of the nego. tiationsgoingforward between the government at Washington and that at Santiago. Obviously the President and his advisers do not pro. pose to be caught napping.

They believe in being forewarned and forearmed. In pur suance of this policy the entire force of ship. available for active operations Is being mde read'. To reinforce the fleet of modern steel cruisers the old monitors which rendered such effective service during the civil war are in process of renovation. Nothing will be left undone essential to maintenance of the national dignity and vindication of the national honor, if the worst comes to the worst.

Speculation is rife as Harrison will adopt in to the tone President his forthcoming com munication. The conservative tendency of the executive mind is so well understood that it will hardly be expected to recommend severance of friendly relations so long as that extremo can be avoided. Neither the President nor his cabinet would willingly plunge the country into an armed conflict for political or personal aggrandizement. To impute selfish motives to tho administration in its dealings with Ohili is unfair, misleading and unpatriotic. In this dispute the American government and American people are one.

Intelligent men will not be deoeived by partisan clamor into tho belief that General Harrison would conspire to saorifice the blood of his fellow citizens and millions of treasure on the altar of personal ambition. His function is that of a servant, not a master, of the public. He has been long enough official life to understand precisely the extent of his duties and the limitations of his au thority in the existing emergency. Without the co operation of congress he can no more proceed to a hostile declaration than if he was again a private oitizen, living in Indian. apolis.

With that co operation he will know that his countrymen, through their accred. ited representatives, are cordially enlisted in his support. Thore is nothing in the entire controversy more gratifying than the assur ances of sympathy and approval which the administration has received from Dora ocratlc members of the house or rep rosentatives. These assurances demons trate anew that espousal of partylsm does not mean abandonment of patriotism. They ought to caTry great weight as a factor in bringing about a satisfactory understanding of the questions in controversy.

Whatever other blunders the Chilians commit, they cannot labor under the delusion that Amer icans are divided In sentiment by reason of party differences, or that they will hate to fight anything less than the whole country in the event of a struggle. An unfortunate feature of the cotnplica. Hons is the uncertainty of political feeling in Ohili. The administration of President Montt is in a very dangerous position. His follow ers, fresh from the victories achieved over Balmaceda, are truculent, boastful and ovtr confident.

Their feeling against the United States is intense. They are strongly opposed to anything that looks like a backdown on the part of their representatives, and if their preferences prevail neither peace nor arbi tration will be feasible. Left to his own devices President Montt and his couuselors would make prompt and adequate reparation for the wrongs committed on the sailors of the Baltimore and the uncalled for and inso lent behavior subsequently by Chilian of ficials. Whether he dare bravo the aggressive opinion of the war party is not so plain as that Lis familiarity with the horrors of war would naturally Incline him to maintenance of peaceable relations. That a crisis iu the Chilian situation has at last been reached is no longer aeniea.

wnetner it results in on armed conflict or not, this republic will be equal to the responsibilities before it nnd determined fully and firmly to uphold its rights. Dr. Daniel Ayrcs. Few medical men have lived in Brooklyn and made life records that contributed so much to local history as that of Daniel Ayres, M. LL.D., who died yesterday His un tiring industry in the practice of his profess ion was supported by an analytical genius that won him international fame.

The studies to which he devoted such time as could be spared from his patients were in tho line of the humane Instinct so largely devel oped in the man. What wealth he acquired in business he shared with the world of medi cine by expending it in investigation, travel and attention to the newer methods coming outintothe curative field through the agencies of experts. The reward for this came iu the generally recognized ability of the doctor, and his practice included most of the leading families Brooklyn, as a natural result. Fortune, well earned, came to him. When however, advancing age compelled him to retire from his more active work, he did not keep his gains for himself alone.

His benevo lence was as marked an it was modest. Sev erul local institutions profited by both his bounty and his advice. His bequests to hos pitols and colleges almost amounted to half a million dollars. Beside this ho served In various capacities iu giving aid and counsel to younger practitioners who were donating their services to the public. He was, in deed, an example of that spirit of thought fulness for the needs of others which medical practice Is most fitted, to engender.

How well he cultivated this waB shown in ways of helpfulness directed toward the good of his fellow men. For this reason, added to the good effects of his professional labors here, Brooklyn has cause to mourn the loss of Dr. Ayres. The Apportionment Problem. Consideration of the apportionment prob lem, so far as Kings county is affected, should not be unduly hastened.

While action ought to be taken by the present legislature, in extra session convened, after an enumeration, the majority can prudently avoid carelessness in framing the desired law. Justloe has so long been denied to the principal cities of tho state that they should, on coming into possession of their rights, be placed in the position to take adequate advantage of the opportunity. Tho demand of Kings county for five senators instead of three, five congressmen instead of four and eighteen assemblymen instead of twelve will, if acceded to, imply an equitable distribution of district honors. This community, in population, intelligence and material wealth, is entitled to the concessions suggested. They will be granted if the legislature impartially discharges its responsibility in the premises.

Opinions differ in Democratic managerial circles as to how the readjustment of district lines shall be effected. Some of the leading party men desire to re establish ward boundaries. They point out the fact that wards of great area and large population, like the Eighteenth, the Twenty first and the Twenty second, have outgrown their earlier limits, and are entitled to subdivision, in order that the city districts be placed on an equality. In pursuance of this tendenoy, Assemblyman Quigloy has already introduced a bill to make threo new wards out of the Eighteenth ward. Before insisting on the passage of tho moasure, it could be amended to tho advantago of othor seotions.

Tho committee of conference appointed to represent the Kings county Democratic organization in the movements for tho solution of the reapportionment question should oonfer with Mr. Quigley and other legislators who oon template the introduction of bills bearing' on the same general subjeot. While tho legls. lature is dealing with the problom it might be found advantageous to inaugurate an entirely new ward boundary system. Opposition to any sweeping ohange in ward limits emanates largely from thi professional political class.

Eaoh of th ward loaders desires to preserve intaof his political bailiwick.

An approach to said bridge, so as to provide facilities for its use by the public, shall bb constructed and maintained from a point on said bridce at or about Cannon street, in tho city of New York, thence extending weatwardly, over, through and along pvivum property, to the Bowery, thenco across the Bowery to Spnug street. Sec.

14. The approach, mentioned in ection thirteen of this act, may ba extended if, in tha Judgment ot a majority of the stockholders of Baid corporation, it shall bo deemed for publia convenience so to frem its termination, at the Bowery and Spring street, westwardly, above, through and along Spring street, to or near the Hudson river, in tha city of New York. Seo. 15.

Sec. 10. The corporation hereby formed and its snccessors are autherized and empowered to build, construct, maintain and operate a second bridge, which shall commence at a point between Fulton street and the pier line in ihe city of Brooklyn, and between Little street aad Bridge street in said city, extending thence westwardly across private property, and across and along intervening and intersecting streets and avenues to the East rivor; thence across the Bast rivor, as directly as possible, to a point or place botween Jackson and Scammel streets in the city of New York; thence northwestwardly through private property between Jackson and Hcamraol streets and across later venina streets to Grand street; thence across Grand Btreat and over privata property between Sheriff and Bideo streets aud across intervening streets to a poiut or place, on private property, between Delancey andltivington streets, in janc tion wiih the line or route of the said bridge hereinbefore first described. The Bid second bridge shall be commenced not later than one year from the date of tho open ing or the first bridge far public use, and shall be completed within six years after such commencement; the time for the commencement or completion to be ex tended, however, if any delay Bhall have been occasioned by legal proceedings or otherwise as much lonser as the duration of such delay. But no failure to commence the construction of or to complete the said second bridge within tho time prescribed shall hava auy further effect than to prevent the corporation hereby formed, or its Buccessorii, from proceeding with the con structiou or completion of the said second bridge, all other rights, privileges and franchises hereby conferred to remain unaffected by such failure.

Sec. 17. Said company shall alas have power to construct all necessary approaches other than those hereinbefore specified and all necessary connections betweeh tha said hri'dci nr hridaua and approaches and auy railroader railroads in the cities of New York and Brooklyn, bo as ta en able passengers to bo transferred to and from the same.

THE OPERA. "Don Juan" was sung last night at the Metro. polltan opera house by Mr. Abbey's polyglot company, the oast In eluding two Amoricans, two Germans, a Frenchman, a Polo and two Italians the latter of the least consequence, thongh their vernacular was adoptod as tho spoken medium or the performance. Such is the diffi culty of singing Mozart'a opera thoro are many scales and trills and so many airs that are to be taken presto that it requires tho bestoas that can bo ohoson from the average company to present it, and it had such a cast.

Lilli Leh mann, Edouard Roszke and Mr. Lassalle carried the burden of the piece, and their splendid sing ing frequently roused the andienco to absolute enthusiasm. This was partly due to their sensi ble and human behavior and easy and simple method of acting, as well as of Binging, tha compared favorably with the ineffectiveness of little Miss Van Zandt and the ridicnlou assumption of lightness by Mrs. Albani, who, after discovering her woes to the public pretty songs, tried to gambol from the stage Fawns do not weigh 30 pouuds, and Mrs. Leh mann's qneenly exit muoh better fltted the'situ atlon.

Juan was played by Mr. Lassalla and Leporello by Mr. Beszko. The men were well paired tall, big, deep chested, broad shouldered. their acting aud singing fall of uncousoious and sufficing force, suggesting immeasurable reserve of vitality; they are splendid animals and their big, resonant voices filled the hugu spaces of the theater withaut effort.

If either of the twain were the better it was Keszke, whose volume of tone has Beldam been equaled by any opora basso this generation. Paul Kalisch gave conscientious performance of Ottavio, disclosing: moro graoe of voice and person than he has obtained credit for owning; indeed, there are not a few singers of better natural en dowment who make a less 'agreeable fig. ure on the lyric stage than he. Albaui voice is showina effeots of ago aud wear; her lower notes are growing thin and uncertain; he upper ones a trifle hard: but, though she still slugs with taste and skill, Elvira is less a part for her than Marguerite or Desdemona. Miss Van Zaudt acted like an amateur, as usual, but her voice, light aa it is, was fresh and sweet, and sh looked well In the part of Zerlina.

Mr. Serbolini enacted the commander, and Mr. Carbons, stocky young man whose calves have ran down into his ankles, imparted olowoishness to the part of MaBBetto. The scenery did not fit the play, the chorus was commonplace and the or chestra, supplemented by a piano that relieved i of part of its work, was uninspired, there bo ing nothing in its functions to give it spir it, for it 1b there simply to pick or to drone accompaniments to pretty tunes. One wishes that a little instrumental color could be forced into Mozart's operas and a little senti ment imported into his music.

'Tho Success of Rev. 11. Wharton Oh ii Preacher and Sittg er. Bev. H.

M. Wharton, who is now preaching every afternoon and evening in the Hanson place Baptist churoh, is in many respects a remarkable man. A sort of Moody and Sankey in one, he preaches with great freshness and siugs with rare sweetness. Having been once a wnyward prodigal, he has a Btor to tell that draws to him those who are struggling against great odds to live righteous lives. Two years ago he preached for a month in Bichmond, when the great armory building was packed to the doors, and all denominations took part in the meetings.

Richmond was not so Btirred even by the preaohing of Mr. Moody. In Norfolk, a tabernaole seating 5,000 persons was crowded to hear him. Th'a Broutty Baptist church of Baltimore is now building a largo tab ernaole to aocommadate the crowds that wish to hear him preaoli. As a preaoher ho is, as one has expressed it, "a crowd to himself." He is many men in one.

You never think of him as an offi cial. He is man, every inch. He talks to peoole rather than preaches at them. Above all, he is dead in earnest, and, though he often convulses the congreaation with laughter, he keeps ataadily before him the groat purpose of saving men. Mr.

Wharton will be iu Brooklyn only four or five days. EDWARD OAKSWELL ON TE31PEU4NOE. The Canadian Orator's Lecture Before King's County IiiriKiou. A large audience was assembled last evening in Association hall, Manhattan avenue, to listen to a lecture by Edward Carswoll, tho veteran Canadian temperanoo orator, under the aus pices of King's oaunty division, No. 100, sons of temperance.

The proceedings were opened with prayer by tho Bev. W. H. Yauon, pastor of tho Orchard Primitive MethodiBt church. John N.

SN Jose, Cal Jan nary 10. The JIfet'curt to day prints a long article re garding the destruction of imported Eastern fruit trees by California horticultural commissioners to prevent the pests brought with them. A letter has been received from Jackson Perkins, nurserymen of Newark, N. in whioh threats were made of a combination of Eastern nurserymen to bring influence to bear on congress to prooure the removal of tho tariff duties on raisins, apriootB, prunes and other fruits raised iu California. This is to bo dno a revenge for California protecting herself against the Eastern fruit pests.

It is not believed such plan oonld succeed. The destruction of Eastern trees is not indiscriminate, as implied in the letter, but is confined to those trees whioh are from the infested districts and ara known ts be diseased. 1SJ.KKP FOB THIUTEBK H9KTHS.

Blanchard was elected president of the New York club. The admirers of Cleveland carried tho primaries in Philadelphia. It is charged that trhen the Democrats got control of the Ohio legislature, they gerrymandered the Htate bo naerantly that they secured fourteen of the twenty one congressmen at the election following. Now that the Republicans have regained possession of thiugs, it is proposed to give tho Democrats a done of their own medicine. A scheme has been put on foot to redititriot the state so as to give the Republicans soventeen of the twenty one.

Montgomery Advertiser Whatever may be said with regard to the manner of passiuc tho State enumoratiou bill adopted by the Democratic majority in the New Yerk senate, it is not unsatisfactory to kaow that the people of the Empire Btate are to bo counted once more, after so much discussion has been reuBed by the Porter enumeration of lgoo.

Providence Journal Senator Palmer of Illinois declines to discuss himself as a Democratic candidate for President, but he does not hositato to make the air about him blue when his being a candidate for the vice presidency is mentioned.

Ho will not play second fiddle to any man, and refuses to be buried in the vice presidential chair in tho senate. Mobile Register. Affable Senator Cullom of Illinois says he will be a candidate for presidential honors if Mr. Blaine Is not, thereby proving that he has probably run full tilt against the biggest "if" he ever enoountored in his polltioal life St. Louts Star Sayings It is calculated to give a Bhook to tho ideas of political infallibility to loam that Joseph Manley of Maine now alleges that he does not know whether Blaine will be a candidate or nat.

Only a short month ago Mr. Manley was assuring the boys that all they had to do would be to eleot the delegates and he and Mr. Blaine would attend to the rest of the operation. Now he casts the ohili ing shadow of doubt over the operation for some unexplained reason. Can it be that the Philadelphia fight was a play for the beueiit of the galleries? Pittsburg Dispatch The Republicans had best be careful about talking too much of the five cent house.

There are several interesting oases iu history where an epithet that was meant to ridicule has become a title of honor willingly and proudly borne.

There seems to be a perfectly fair division of result in the Fifteenth senate district dispute. The Republicans Insist that tho court of appeals sustained their certificate. The Democrats are aware that the state board of canvassers reoognized their certificate and that they have the senatorship. This is a good deal like Attorney General Hamilton Ward's opinion in 1880.

Some people urged him to forbid the Western union oompany to gobble up a smaller rival. He divided his opinion into two parts One permitted the consolidation, the other part expressed regrets that he had to decide in that way. The Western union people took the consolidation. The Franklin telegraph people were presented with the regrets. Nothing could have been fairer than that.

The Eagle is getting jnst.a little tired of the repeated declaration that the oourt of appeals declared the Mylod certificate illegal or fraudulent in the Fifteenth district case. We understand that it did nothing of the sort. It declared that that certificate was legal in form and was formally adequate for consideration by the state board of canvassers. It added, however, that the formal adequacy of it to consideration need not bar the state board of canvassers from canvassing another certificate, if properly before it, and if such other certificate showed the Mylod one to be fraudulent. The Mylod one was not fraudulent.

It was a true certificate, as we understand, according to tho effect on Dutchess county returns of the application of the principle laid down by the court of appeals in the Onondaga district case, for it represented the result of the vote when such principles were applied to ballots illegally marked and so marked to render them identifiable, in order that the men who cast them might be paid money for doing so. Not only was the Mylod certificate not fraudulent, but there was nothing before the state board of canvassers from Dutchess county except that certificate and the duty of that board at once to cauvass the district and declare the result from what was before it was absolute. The talk about a Deaue certi ficate in original or in copy being before the board or being iu the pocket, hat, vest or shoes of some member of the board is "rot," and those who indulge in that talk ought to be aware that it is. It is a pity that a just reapportionment will change the boundaries of tho Fifteenth district. The Democrats would like nothing better than to go before the people of that district in a senatorial fight on that subject, for they are sure that thoy would win.

Kopt Busy. jjet us see. AC present tne newspapers are curing the grip, conducting the Chilian negotiations, adjusting the relations of the senator.) in contempt of the rules, caring for congress, burying Duke Clarence, laying Cardinal Manning to his long rest, settling tho health of the present pope und choosiug the next, defining the attitude of Harrison and Blaine to one another, locating the next Democratic national convention, selecting tho nominees for each party, determining their relative success in the eleotoral college and doing a great many other things much better than they can be done by the not in errant souls directly, though mistakenly, put in charge of them. The newspapers, how ever, are not cleaning the streets of Brooklyn or imparting either fidelity or efficiency to the Kings county charities commissioners, There are a few things beyond their power. The Kev.

Dr. George T. Purves of Pitts burg, is an exception to the rule wnicn scomng laymen declare exists among clergymen. He has declined a call to a fashionable church in New York, and thereby re jects an annual increase of $4,000 in his income. Dr.

Purves' congregation and himself must be in enviable accord when the temptations of wealth and prominence are so promptly put aside by the pastor. That "the longest way round is the shortest way home" was aptly illustrated neor Har mony, Pa. A sleighing party of twelve young men and women in returning home took a short cut along a precipice 300 feet high. The ground was covered with ice and the horses slipped. The sleigh, with its occupants, went oveT the edge, and as a result two boys were killed and four girls seriously injured.

It ia reported that Mr. Stranahan is sur prised at the opposition of Brooklyn people to the annexation of this city to New York. The consolidation of olties is a good deal like the marriage of'a man and a woman. If they don't like one another, they are wiso to keep apart. If they do like one another, they would better be trusted to come together themselves.

Third parties rarely interfere successfully in behalf of an intending two. Political marriage brokers are not always appreciated. "Possesses evory requisite; speed, align mentand "simple In construction and not liable to get out of order" such" are the words of tho leading editorial in the Rhinebeck Qtaette, William N. Tyler, editor and publisher," under the heading of "A Good Typewriter." Close examination, however, shows that he meant the machine and not the girl. Judge Herrick of Albany has given his proxy as a member of the state committee of the Democratic party to Mayor James H.

Manning of that city. Mr. Manning will perform the duties of this position until the delegates from the congressional district of which Albany is a part shall ohoose a man at the next state convention for the fall term of tho plaoe. If Judge Herriofc had resigned instead of designating Mr. Manning as his proxy, the vacancy would be filled by the other members of tho eiate committee.

The fudge's oourse preserves the selection of the committeeman in the hands of his polltioal constituents instead of remitting it to any other Demooratio agencies. His own retirement from the duties of the plaoe and from participation in politics is, however, absolute.
