The Senate Committee not successful
yesterday in getting at any facts which prove
that the patronage of the Department OF PuDlc
Works was at the dis posal Of Hubert w.
Thompson for long time after Mr.. Squire sue
ceeded him in Office ID. Lowber Smith, the
Deputy Commissioner of Public Works, VINO
distributed the places, says the charge Is nO'
true. Thus once more we are reminded OF the
deceitfulness of appearances. As long as Mr.
Thompson and Mr.. Squire were IN harmony
Mr.. Smiths appointments were such as Mr..
Thompson could approve; but just about the
time that these two worthless fell out i'll regard
to the question of Mr.. Hills candidacy, Mr..
Squire told Mr.. Smith that henceforth no ap-
pontments were good without his sanction.
Naturally an uncharitable public came to the
conclusion that the supposed deal between
ThompsOns friend Flynn and Squire was
broken Off but according to Mr.. Smith there
never was deal and in all his appointments
he had an eye single to the good of the city.
But the County Democracy did not suffer Oh,

GERMAN OPERA AT THE METROPOLITAN.

Meyerbeers Prophet was given a second
representation at the Metropolitan Opera House last
night with small changes from the first cast which
redounded the musical Improvement OF the perform
ance. In the first place. Frauein Lehman appeared
Bertha instead OF Frau Krauss, and by her brilliant
vocazaton and fine voice saved the part from the signs
OF effort which marred Frau Krauss's otherwise adj
mrable impersonation. Then Herr Staudigl was the
Count O6erthdi and this, as can be imagined, was
vast gain for the musical element OF the representation
rs was Dworskys substitution for Herr KemtL rs

The expulsion of the Metropolitan Baseball Club
of this city from membership in the American
Association has thrown a damper over the friends
of the club in this city. Ii is also anything but
pleasant news for Mr.. Erastus Wiman, who pur-
chased the franchise of the nine only a few days
ago for $25, 900. The association has no excuse
for expclling the club except that of petty spite
and jealousy; and if Mr.. Wiman secures the judg-
mcnt for $50, 900 damages which he proposes to
seek against the delegates they will regret their
recent action. The Metropolitan Club is the oldest
organization of its kind in this vicinity; 1t brought
baseball back into public favor in this city, and
pleasant memories of the nine will ever be green
i'm the hearts of truo lovers of tho National game
