A decidedly amusing incident occurred at the close
of the performance Of " IL Trovatore on Monday
night at the Grand Opera House. Miss Aida Narcna,
who was secured at only few hours notice TO sing
the part of Leonora had had no rehearsal on tho
stage, and being deceived by the long projection
In front Of the prOscenum arch, died too near the

Bath, " Y, June Of, 1880.
Our critic does not make the point which no
raises altogether clear, but in any event it can
hardly be well taken. Humanitarian" in the
sense in which it is used above, is noun;
humane is an adjective; and the one cannot
therefore be used for the other. humani-

WASHINGTON, June B.-The civil service
commissioners having concluded in part their
investigation into the recent management Of
the New York custom house. so TAR as the
behavior OF the local examining board and
the questi, Of the proper observance Of civil
service as regarus entrance examinations are
concerned, find IN substance as follows; "The
recent management OF the examinations for
admission has been characterized by great
laxity and negligence, and on the part of
some Of the custom house employees by posi-
tive fraud Accusations have been made to
the commission showing that the practice Of
keeping the markings and the list Of eligibles
secret has given rise in the minds Of apph-
cants to the suspicion, whether well or i'll
founded cannot now be said, that those who
were without political backing did not re-
ceive justice. Test mlny has been adduced
to show that certain members Of the examin-
ing board have openly sneered at and ridi-
Gu ed the law they were supposed 10 enforce
and have permitted the examining room to
be made headquarters and gathering
place for politicians. This commission in
tends, whenever practicable, to insist that
the examining board shall be composed Of
men who have not taken active part IN politi-
cal contests, IN order that the examination
snail be free from all suspicion Of PARTISAN
ship bad aith For its laxity and negh-
gence in the matters herein specified the board
Of examiners in the New York custom house
is hereby censured We hereby recommend
10 the collector Of the port that Charles f..
Terhune and Saul Hollander custom house
employees, lie dropped from the service, the
testimony as TO their misconduct being con-
elusive II is our opinion that the testimony
taken in connection with the surrounding
corroborative circumstances would also JUS
tify the removal Of Frederick Davis We
also herewith file certain affidavits and evil
dence taken before us concerning the case OF
Charles r. Terhune We believe that he
should be indicted and prosecuted under sec
tion 8 of the civil service law, as the afiida !
Wits Of two witnesses and his own confession
before this commission, in our own opinion,
clearly prove him 10 have been guilty Of vio-
lating said law. This matter viii be brought

Testimony Tending 60 Connect Alexander
sullivan with the Crime.
CHICAGO, June 6-All the evidence in the
Cronin inquest yesterday was directed to-
ward establishing the fact that the deceased
was firmly impressed with the idea that his
life was endangered through the machina-
tions Of Alexander Sullivan. Maurice Nor
ris, member OF the Clan-na- Gael, said that
at the last convention he had heard general
delegates say that Cronin and DR.. McCahey,
Of Philadelphia, ought 70 be gotten rid of.
Joseph O'Byrne, senior guardian Of camp
366, swore that on the day before the physi
clan disappeared Cronin had told him that he
was badly broken up and discouraged and
that he believed he would give up and let
those rascals, Alexander Sullivan and RI
corder Of Police Michael Boland Of Kansas
City, complete their murderous designs and
kill him. O'Byrne went on 70 say that be
had heard McGeehan say that Cronin and
McCahey ought to be killed, becnuse they
were scoundrels. He had heard that there
was a trial in Camp ~, but knew nothing
definite ON the point lie admitted that
rumors that Cronin had been tried and con
victed came TO him through friends Of the
lattor.
z. McGary testified that Cronin had sew
ernl times told him that his life was IN dan
ger: taat Alexander Sullivan, if he was muir
dered, would be found to have been the in
stigaior and that there were papers in his
safe when would connect Sullivan with the
deed. Witness told how he went to Toronto
and mot Long, the reporter, who was re-
sponsible for the circumstantial stories re-
garding Cronin having been seen in that
city. McGary offered him 81, 900 to sub
stantiate what he had written, but he could
not do it, Instead, he said, 81 wish to God
had never had anything 70 do with this busi-
nessn lie had heard that Ice Dealer Sulli-
van, Detective Coughlin and Detective Wha
len were members Of Camp 20. IL was a
matter Of daily conversation among the
members Of the Clan that there was CON
sp.racy 10 kill Cronin.
The Inst witness was Byron G. Smith, re-
ceiver OF the Traders bank. He showed by
checks on fle and ledger entries that in the
