How the Italian Opera Company
Added to Its Laurels.
Budd Was Sick.

An excellent performance Of the "Bar-
Der of Seville" was given yesterday even
ing at the AlcaZar Theater by the Italian
Opera Company, the occasion being tes-
timonial benefit rendered TO G. Cadenasso,
the leading tenor of the troupe.
A number of celebrities bad promised TO
grace the occasion with their presence,
among them the Governor elect, James 81.
Budi. The box set apart for the Gov
ernor was gracefully dreped in the
stars and stripes, but the performance
proceeded and the Governor came
not. Finally the public announcement
was made that James Budd was
suffering from severe illness, and that

present Most of the other celebrities, in
GLIDING number of local artists aud the
leading lights Of the Italian colony. were
present. The theater was filled, in fact,
with AN appreciative. and enthusiastic
audience.
The opera had almost the identical cast
that performed it short time ago at the
Bnsh-street Theater, and the success of
the perform ance was even more complete,
for in addition to- the singers having had
more practice together e. Cadenasso, who
played the Count of Almaviva. was in
good voice, whereas on the FORMER Occa-
sion he was suffering from severe cold ..
The honors were fairly well shared. G.

The Count of Almaviya, the beneficiary
of tie performance. entered thoroughly
into the spirit of his role. He was .par,icu-
lerly effective in the two disguises by
which he sought to elude the vigilance OF
Doc tor Bartolo and secure an interview

good Doctor Bart0lo; q. Almagia created
an excellent i'm preston as Don Basilio and

all good. S. Martinez was the muSlcal

ters Subp0enaed.
The intentions Of Counsellors Minturn and
Young Of Hoboken were evidently the best
when they made up their list for a struck
inry to decide the verdict in a bastardy case
in the Hoboken Police Court. The gem
tlemen were careful to select, APP
parently, only those who were not
likely to serve on the jury. They subponaed
three ministers, an ex-Colonel OF the New
Jersey National Guard, two Aldermen, a
Fire Commissioner two practising physi.
clans and other very prominent residents OF
Hoboken, who never frequent police courts
and never, probably, intend to. The case
the Jury has been asked to CON
sider was booked for three o'clock
this afternoon. James Fitzpatrick
/ triIed with the affections of Maggie Burns
and took improper liberties with her. a
child was born, and the young man refused
to marry the girl he wronged. The case
came up before a bad jury, who voted In q
hat with ballots aud declared a verdict OF
ssguiltys because there was a majority OF
two votes against tho young man. Coun-
sellor Young. on the strength of this, made
am appeal. Here is the jury empanneled:--

HoBoKBN FREE D1sPENsARY.
The Board VIII, No Doubt, Give 1t
the Money Asked.

rho Board VIII, No Doubt. Give 1t
the Money Asked.
In all probability the Hoboken Tax Board
will allow the doctors interested in the Free
Dispensary of Hoboken the appropriation of
$500 for the maintenance for the institution
that they nave asked for.
The dispensary is the same that
used to be located on Willow
avenues, and was only recently removed to
Arlitz. Fletcher, Brockhurst and Nichols,
who ave lent their services in the work,
have heretofore supplied all the medicines
used. When patients could pay they were
only asked enough to cover the cost.
Treatment was entirely free. The
doctors arranged a programme so
tina someone was in attendance
at the dispensary whenever a patient called,
some doctors remaining longer than others.
With the $500 the physicians expect to DUR
chase tools forthe place, aud think the money
towards supplying medicines. The instltu-
ton will he Incorporated as soon as
| the articles are drawn up. The
! dispensary doctors do not make calls upon
| patients. They relieve the work of the City
Physician in treating those who call upon
| them. Business OF late has been brisk AMI
there are few patients who have come for
treatment who have not been benefited.
When patients offer money to the doctors it is
placed in tho treasury box and expended for
medicine. The physicians do not pocket
tips The dispensary will be made a city
institution and will be known as the "Ho-
boken Free Dispensary" hereafter. 1t has
| been in usine for four years and has re-
ceived a liberal patronage.

At THEIR Old TRICKS
Dugan and Somers Fooled by
Their S. & w. Board
colleagues.

When the Street and Water Board adj
journed on Monday last it was to meet this
morning. All the members were on hand
early, They held a caucus in Clerk Bouton's
private office and in a short time the loud
talking of the Commissioners made it known
that there was a serious hitch somewhere.
For the past two weeks the water supply
question has been under consideration. The
members were divided in their opinions as
to what course should be pursued. At eleven
O'Clock Commissioner Cook left the office and
jumping into his carriage disappeared.
It had then been decided to post
pone the meeting until to
morrow morning. AS q result
Commissioners SoEners and Dugan took
their departure. As Mr.. Dugan was leav-
ing the office, President Madden summoned
Commissioner Voc to the caucus room down
stairs. The two members waited there until
Mr.. Cook retuI ned. A meeting was then
held.
WATER PR0PoSALS REJECTED.
President Madden called for a report of
the Committee of tine Whole, and in response,
Mr.. Yoe offered the following resolution
Resolved, That ali proposals heretofore received
for the furnishing and delivery of a new water sup
tration Of water. be and are hereby rejected, as in
the opinion of this board the best interests OF the
city VIII De conserved Dy Such u cause.
Ths resolution was adopted. The rejected
bids are those of Hugh Riley, who pro
posed to furnish water'by gravity SO as to
do away with the Belleyille pumping sta
ton, and that of Moffett, Hodgkins q Clarke
Company, which company proposed secur-
ing Its supply at Boonton, below the falls.
The cause for rejecting the bids is that
Mayor Wanser would not countenance any
action taken by the present board in regard
to the acquisition OF a new supply.
The new board, which will BE made up of
Wanser reformers, will probably be called
upon to take some action in the matter.
NEW GOA SPECIFICATIONS.
For the third time Commissioner Yoe has
prepared specifications for the furnishing
and delivery of ten thousand tons Of coal for
use at Belleviile and High Service. The new
specifications call for coal taken from either
Of the following mines:-Jeddo, Keystone,
Consolidated, Highland, Packer, Green
Ridge, Northurst, Glenwood and Spring
Brook.
The only new names added are Packer and
Jeddo. Jeddo coal is the best coal mined
and the dearest. Packer coal is a Lehigh
Valley coal. Mayor Wanser has kept a
close watch upon the coal specifications. and
will not permit them to be c~oncurred in u
til all dealers are given a fair show. The
board meets again tomorrow morning.

BoARD OF EDUCATION.
No Likelihood OF Appointments at
the Meeting TomorroW.

No Likelihood of Appointments at
the Meeting Tomorrow.
The fact that the Board of Education is to
meet next Thursday afternoon has given
rise to considerable speculation amongst
teachers and place seekers, who at present
are partic ularly interested in the movements
of the board. 1t has been customary for the
board to meet in the evening. When the
unexplained announcement was made that
an afternoon session was to be held zap
~pointments' was on eveTyone's lips, while an
occasional principal muttered to himself,
dismissal, perhaps"
Unless something unforeseen happens wor-
riment is useless. The afternoon sessions
are TO be held for the convenience of Presi-
dent Allen. That gentleman has just re-
covered from a severe attack of illness; in
fact. at the time of his election as President
of the board, he was sick in bed. He has
recovered sufficiently to be out, but he does
not care to expose himself to unnecessary
danger by going ont in the night air.
Thursday afternoons session may be a
lively one if any appointments are made, but
it is understood that only routine business
will be transacted.
1t was thought that Principal Evans sue
cessor would be appointed. The directors,
however, nave not decided upon any ons,
and the probabilities are that Miss Lynch

school until the end Of the term, which is
June 30. Candidates for Mr. Evans place
are numerous, and they ere giving the direc-
tors considerable annoyance. Prof. Mackay
is IA of the candidates. He is backed up
by 8 petition bearing an enviable list of
names.
Candidates are ssbobhing up daily for
Principal D%illingha1n's position in No. rs
School. The list grows daily, but no one
has as yet been definitely decided upon. Mr..
Dillingham's resignation does not become
operative until tune 30
The Woodlawn Section School No. Is has
to be supplied with teachers, and there are
candidates enough for the places to fill every
room in the new building. School No IS,
however, win not be opened this season. The
| principal reason for not opening it is that
there is no money for the teach
! ers, even if they were appointed
at this time. Another reason why
| the directors are opposed to appointing
| teachers to the new school now, is that they
would work one month and receive salary
for the two vacation months now so close at
hand. The directors do not think it would
be fair to the other teachers to give new
teachers the same benefit as those who have
taught through the whole year. Th out
| look at present is that successors to Prin-
| cipals Evans and Dillingham; and the teach
egs for the new school will be appointed
some time in August. In the meantime the
disputes at High School may be settled and
| one or two new professors may confront the
scholars at the opening exercises next Sep
tember. The schools will close with appro-
pirate exercises on une 80.

PLEASANT DREAMS.
Murderer Altenberger Not
Much Disturbed BY His
Conscience.
RECEIVED TWO LETTERS TODAY
One Urged Him to Employ a Demo-
cratic Lawyer-ghe Second
Not Made Public,
RECEIVED TWO LETTERS TODAY

This morning Bernardo Altenberger looked
as if he had slept wen and that no I'M
pleasant dreams of murdered Katie Rupp
had disturbed him. Before throwing him
self on his bunk in cell No. 2 he talked with
Keeper Terwilliger, who has charge at
night Of the corridor Altenberger is in, and
he asked him if he thought the court would
sentence him to be hanged. Ter williger did
not answer the question, but said -
sit is better TO talk about something else. f"
Altenbsrger lighted his pipe and then
talked about the Bible in his broken Eng
lish.
LETTERS TO THE SoN
This morning Sheriff Toffey was handed
two letters addressed to Altenberger.
These were shown to Judge Lippincott, who
advised the Sheriff to open them and place
them in the possession Of Prosecutor
Winfield. One of these letters was written
in Germon and Court Interpreter Pressler
translated it. The letter was dated 81 c.,
20-5, a. but was post marked Brooklyn. 1t
began ssMr. Altenberger-Dear sir" and adj
vised Altenberger to keep quiet and not to
talk to anyone except his lawyers. The
writer advised him TO put his trust
in God and read the Scriptures. Certain
passages in the Bible were pointed out as
being ones which might afford Altenberger
lltOl6 ~ 1CaCL1 la taLA-A OhAS ~ OA1
The writer also advised Altenberger to be
sure to employ a lawyer who is a democrat,
and told him that he did wrong to
say he could not marry her" meaning
Katie Rupp, because of her religious belief,
and said, 1--WE have got to give an account to
our Maker of our deeds and not our beliefs"
The letter was concluded by a verse from
a hymn being quoted. No signature was
attached to the missive but the handwriting
appeared to be that of a woman.
FROM a YOUNG ADV
The second letter was written in English
and was also mailed in Brooklyn. Prosecutor
Winfield said this letter was written by a
young girl and was valuable evidence. He
refused absolutely to let its contents be made
known. This action on his part has led to
the belief that the writer had been a victim
of some sort of ~Altenberger, Il this belief
was strengthened when Police Commissioner
Feeney, who knows what the letter con-
tains. was heard to say that Altenberger
was a most infamous ~scoundrel.
HAD BEEN IN BROOKLYN.
S. S. Hartshorn, a jeweiler Of No. II Full
ton street, New York, called at the County
Jail yesterday afternoon and identified
Bernardo Altenberger as the man who had
entered his store one week ago
Yesterday, and exchanged g gold watch case
on which was engraved the name OF Katie
Rupp, for a cheaper case. Altenberger
told him that he wanted the works
OF the old watch, which belonged
to Katie Rupp put in a new case. Mr..
Hartshorn did not think of the occurrence
until yesterday. Altenberger stopped in
New York while on his way to Rome.
