employ of James Fisk, Jr., on being
spoken to regarding the passage Of
the Pendleton Civil Service Re

ably regarding the measure. He felt salts
fed that the amendments had not materially
impaired the efficiency of the bill, In which
he took paternal interest, and that in Its
present shape it would prove acceptable to
members OF the Civil Service Reform Associa-
tion. The amendment against political assess
ments had in his opinion greatly strength
ened the bill, and allnding to the bill two
years ago, he said that the only reason such
a provision was not incorporated in it was
that at the time it was feared that 1t would
meet with more opposition than support.
Now public option being SO well informed
regarding this evil, he felt confident that the
educated and thinking classes Of the com

parties interested In the Reybold case. The
matter of costs, about which considerable
discussion was had yesterday, was left to
the counsel on both sides to settle among
themselves, which they said would be done
at noon. George II. Bates, Esq, of counsel
for plaintiff, read number of citations as
to the names Of judgments TO be entered
upon the pleas demurred to.
When Mr.. Bates finished Messrs Bayard,
Gray and Evans, for defense, asked permis-
sion Of the court to retire for consultation,
which was granted
At 11.15 defendants counsel returned,
when Senator Bayard apologized for asking
to withdraw, but he had done so because
having been engaged elsewhere he had been
unable to hold a consultation with his
associates. He said he and the others were
inclined to concur with the opinion of Mr..
Bates, and then went ON to read q number
of citations purely upon the legal techni-
calities of the case.

and William Baxter.
The directors reported having put the
hall in thorough repair during the year,
erected fire escapes and made all prepara-
ton to prevent any damage from a possible
panic. There are on the stage and In the
orchestra six separate connections with the
water pipes and with hose always attached,
besides buckets kept constantly filed with
water, thus In our opinion making the
Opera House of equal safety with any in the
country.
During the year the receipts have exceeded
the expenditures by the amounts of
81, ,442.21, part of which, 81, 900, has been
appropriated to the purchase of the bonds
