ACT SEcoND.-The second act of the
little drama with which Assemblyman
Leverson and the Assembly are connected
commenced yesterday, when Chief jackson
and officer Ash arrested f. F. Conway,
Minute Clerk of the Assembly, in accord
ance with the warrant sworn out by Mr..
Levcrson in the Police Court on the previ-
Gus day, as mentioned in our last issue.
The Chief sent note to Mr.. Conway by
one of the pages, inquiring where he could
see him mt recess having no intention of
serving the warrant in the Capitol, nor in
fact, of serving it anywhere with undue
haste. Receiving in response request to
step up To the desk and see Mr.. Conway
jackson did so, which led some of the
members to believe that he proposed to
make the arrest then and there. Subse-
QuentlV, at the noon recess, the warrant
was served on Tenth street, and Mr.. Con-
way gave the Chief a deposit of $50 to in
sure his presence in Court Officer Ash
served some subpenas, and later in the
day, at the request Of members, furnished
copies Of the complaint and subpenas. Ac-
ton taken by the Assembly in the premises

METROPOLITAN THEATER.-" Pygmalion
and Galatea, the poetic conceit of W. S.
Gilbert, frequently as it has been presented
here, was never better played than last
evening by Miss Pomer6y and her support.
In every respect it was an artistic perform
ance, finished work Miss Pomeroy. as
Galatea, presented the character somewhat
differently from the conventional model,
hut with marked improvement. Miss
Church and Miss Young were especially
effective Miss Campbell, as Daphne made
that low-comcdv part one of the most
striking of the play, and Mr.. Allen, who
esSayed the part of ChrysoS for the first
time. conceived that character in the com
pleteness of its absurdity Mr. Elliot was
an ideal Pygmalion, and the commentator
is fully deserved. The play was richly COS
TUNED and with a cloSeneSS to truth not
often observed. Tonight Miss Pomeroy
appears rs Camille, character in which, it
may be forecast, she will appear at her
best, while the support is admirably
adapted To the presentation of the play
with a close approach to perfection.

ant weather Of yesterday and the prospects
