The reelection OF MIR. Baylis as manager
Of the Opera House was particularly wise
move on the part OF the directors. The
board recognized that in the Academy Of
Music the Opera House has a formidable
rival for public patronage, and to success
fully meet the opposition manager IA
,miliar with bis business Is oneyery great
essential. or the applicants for the place,
not one had anyexperience worth consider
ing and the house would have been badly
handicapped In Its competition with
the academy and metropolitan manager,
such as Mr.. Saumis. Mr.. Baylis when pre-
sentlng his resignation did 1t with deter
mination to quit the business and engage
in mercantile pursuits, from which he had
hoped to realize more money. He had pur-
chased the stock and fixtures of d store and
made a payment of forfeit money and the
formal transfer was to have been made the
last OF this month. The directors, how
ever, doubled the salary OF their trusted
and experienced manager, eurtailed some
unpleasant features OF his duty, and Mr..
Baylis has consented to remain at
the managerial desk. the board as
an expression Of Its appreciation OF MIR.
Baylis' services will tender him testi-
monial benefit, presenting him with the
house on the night, and leaving tho selec-
tion Of an attraction to him. The benefit
will be given late next month. During next
summer the interior OF the Opera House
will be completely renovated, and some
much needed improvements made. New
scenery will be painted, new settings and
furniture supplied, and the large auditorium
will literally be transformed. The new
playhouse promises to create healthy
competition, which will result In more
attractive and meritorious line OF amuse-
ments than has heretofore been given In

European Assassination Methods in
san Francisco.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
SAN FRANc1sco, CAL, Dec. 16.--0ne OF the
most sensational and startling plots for the
wholesale assassination of the most promi-
nent men in this city came to light last night.
Some time ago the police obtained informa-
ton of the existence of an organization
called the sSocialistic Revolutionary Assoc
ciation,' which it is asserted WIS composed
of ultra-socialistic members. A close watch
was kept on their movements, and the
police finally succeeded in obtaining the
minutes of their meetings held on Noyem-
Der 23d.
From the facts discovered II was learned
that it was intended to put about 20 men
out of the way by assassination, including
w, r. Coleman, Congressman w. w. Nor
row, Gen. W. II. L Barnes, Mayor BARTLETT,
United States Judge Lorenzo Sawyer,
Leland Stanford Charles Croker, Governor
Stoneman, and the principal police ofiiclals.
These names were put on "Proscriptiye
list" and placed in the hands of the eXecu-
tive committee. The committee were to
devise the best means of accomplishing the
end. of the base plot, and were engaged IN
considering the method to be used, when
their work was.brought to a sudden termi-
nation by the discovery OF their head-quar-
tiers, at No. 900 Montgomery street.
The police arrested four men found in the
rooms. Their names are Julius 9. Koosher,
Henry Weisemnn, Charles Mittelstadt and
Oscar Eggers. The officers found in the
head quarters a complete laboratory for the
manufacture of Internal machines. The
men were taken to the city prison where
| they boldly asserted that they were dyna-
mitels, and that they proposed to get rid Of
| the citizens named and then raze China,
town. The prisoners are also members Of
| the German branch Of the anti-Coolit
| League. No charge has yet been entered
against the men. Further developments are
| expected.

The earnings and working expenses are
shown in detail, In statement appended hereto,
and q detailed comparison made with the pr :
ca dug fiscal year.
The tonnage for the past year was 58,063 tons
as against "a 1853 for 1884.
The number of passengers carried OF all
classes, was 6O,iS5 as against ,6sb for ls5'
The working expenses were ~ per cent OF the

with the previous year.
1t will be seen that the earnings as compared
with the fiscal yenr 1884 have $50 6926,
and the working expenses have decreased
81 267., Q, making a decrease In the net earnings
as compared with 1884 of ss,b2l.70.
In common with the manufacturing interests
throughout the country the establishms nts SIT
uated on the line of that portion OF your road,
which is In operation, have been affected by the
b siness depression which has prevailed dur
Ing the year and the decrease In the revenue is
from this cause. The road-bed, track, rolling
stock and buildings have been maintained In
good condition during the year, and the opera
ton of the road has not been attended with any
serious loss or accident
The work Of constructing the main line OF
your co npany, from the Maryland state liue 10
the city OF Philadelphia, has made rapid pro.
gress during the year and the track Is now laid
to within eight miles OF the terminus at tn
Schuylkill river. The legal difficulties which
delayed the commencement of work In the city
Of Philadelphia having been overcome, and the
necessary municipal legislation procured aud
accepted by your board, The work OF construction
Is being rapidly pushed forward In that city,
and an early completion OF the line is assured.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
CLAYMoNT, Dec. 11.-Many residents of
this place visit the city almost daily OF
:ate in quest of Christmas things. Two
thirds of them do the most of their shop
ping and buying at the great Wanainaker
bazaar.
There is usually pretty fair duck shoot
ing opposite here ON the Jersey flats, but
this season has been poor. Game Of all
kind seems scarce hereabouts not SO,
however, with tramps.
The public roads of the neighborhood
are good, thanks to painstaking super
yisors.
The question of requiring the children
of the public schools to be vaccinated is
one that will soon be considered by the
school commissioners. This is delicate
matter, but one which deserves attention
and will be decided rightly. The parents
will no doubt attend to the matter when
they come to consider it properly. II is
found by inquiry that not more than half
the scholars in the Claymont school have
been vaccinated.
Several colored farm hands from this
place are down the bay Clustering.
