Of Music.

J.. K. Emmett in "Fritz in a Mad House,
will be the attraction at the Academy OF
Music this week. Mr.. J. K. Emmet will
be the same brave, fun loving German, he
will have the same smiling countenance, he
will sing enhancing melodies as of yore, but
apart from these conditions he will be a new
sFFfitz.n He will be seen as Fritz in a Mad
House" Mr.. Emmett will sing four new
songs, and the juvenile department Is repre-
sented by cute Baby Spencer, the most pre-
cocious of stage children.
New opera House..
Some new types of character are put upon
the stage in IA Piece of Steel" the melo-
dramatic attraction that will hold forth at
the New Opera House this week. We are
promised a glimpse of several Pennsylvania
and Maryland character studies the action
of the play being laid along the line that
separates those two States. The county
sheriff and the mountaineer with a fondness
for other peoples horses are among those
portrayed.
Ross Hoboken The
"Hoss and Hoss," to be presented at Ross
Hoboken Theatre tonight and tomorrow
night by Willie Collier and his excellent
company, is one of the best farcical enter
tainments i'll America. Its tour throughout
the country during the last four seasons has
been one of unqualified success, and has
proved a source of amusement to those who
lave witnessed 1t n a profit to the man
ager. The reason for this is apparent from
the fact that the company has always been
composed of the best f~arceurs and comedians
that money can procure, and in addition to
this it has always been kept fully abreast of
the times. If one wishes to hear the latest
songs, newest dances and original parodies,
stHoss and Hoss'' is a performance where
they may all be seen. Collier has secured
from E. f. Kidder a new comedy, entitled,
nA Back Number, y which he will appear in
next spring, and consequently this will be
the last opportunity of seeing him in "Hoss
and Hoss."

THE inuendoes of one or two anti
Administration papers yesterday, TO
the effect that President Cleveland
had vetoed the Bridge Bill to spite
Senator Hill because Hill had secured
the defeat of the Hornblowsr nomina-
ton. are worthy of the average anti
Cleveland bowler. Having no con-
science themselves, men like the
Editor of the Sun cannot help attri-
buting unworthy motives to every
public man of any worth apropos of

the country. In the first place, Robert
Adrain, who would, we presume, be
the most offensive man in the State to
the Republican parry. would claim to
be Governor, just as he claims to be
President of the Senate. The fact
that he is President pro tenn has
nothing to do with the case. H. is
the President of the Senate in the
eyes of the State officers. including
the Attorney General, and the only
effect of the impeachment would be
to add one more tangle to the already
almost hopeless complication. But,
in the second place. it takes a vote OF
two-thifds in the Senate to convict
the Governor OF any offenss for which
he may be impeached. OF course, no
such vote could be secured in the
present body, even if every republi-
can victimized his conscience to his
party prejudices. So, by the time
the proceedings came to a close, Gov
ernor Werts would have gained all the
ec1at of martYrdom and would retain
his office with all its prerogatives to
boot.
Perhaps it would be just as well If
the republicans would put an end to
the present scandal by trying the
martyrdom act themselves. Let them
come out and submit their case, under
all the protest they choose, of course,
to the action of the Senate which the
Attorn ey General pronounces legal.
PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's veto OF
the Bridge Bill, as was forseen, turns
largely ON the mid-river pier ques-
ton. One of his great objectio ms
appears to be that the act
opens the way for other companies as
well as this one to place distractions
in the middle of the North River.
This authorization was given in the
interest of fair play, and as a conces-
sion to the North River Bridge Com
pany, which is the rival of the com-
pany interested in the pending bill
1t is a little bit surprising to find that
the advocates of the North River pro-
ject have used the very clause that
has been put in to benefit them, as a
lever to secure President Cleveland's
disapproval of the whole measure.
Until recently, it was generally
understood that the engineers of the
cantilever scheme adopted by the
New York and New JERSEY Bridge
Company regarded the mid-river pier
as unnecessary. If it can be dispensed
with, it is to be hoped that the COM
pany will modify the bill at on ce by
entirely removing the clause to au-
thorize it, and will then have the bill
returned to the President, when, so
far as we can see, there will be no rea-
son for his refusing to sign it. On the
other hand, if the plan cannot be car
ried cut without this pier, it is de-
cidedly inferior to the North River
Company's Suspension Bridge project,
which, there is little doubt, can be
successfully carried out, though the
cost will of curse be great. 1t must
be remembered that If the span of
either bridge is to be materially re-
duced by the construction of one or
more piers in the stream, it really
ceases to be a very remarkable engi-
neering' feat. There are many bridges
in existence of much greater span
than half the width of the North
River.

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH
Of Mary jackson by Liberating Chior-

Have known Its Deadly Effects
Case Is Very Serious.

ITHACA, n. Y, Feb. 22.-The city au-

that will lead to the arrest OF the
sopohmores who caused the death
of Mary Jackson, the colored cook,
by hberating chlorine gas in the
kitchen adjoining the dining room, where
the freshmen we're holding the class sup
per Wednesday night. They think
they know who purchased the tools to
make the holes in the floor OF the kitchen
and where some OF the chemicals used
came from. The suspected students are
being watched and will be arrested If
they try to leave town.
Students Patterson, Mcneil and McCui-
longh, who arc suffering frcm the fumes
OF tine gas, are slowly improving.
Exciting developments are expected, for
physicians say that any one who knew how

used must have known how deadly the
gas Is. State Civil Service Commissioners

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The shock from
the announcement OF Erastus Wiman's
arrest was increased this morning, when
IL became known that he had been locked
up in Cell of Murderer's Row. A large
party OF reporters who went early to
the prison could not conceal their momen-
tGry as lonishment at such state of things.
They sent in to Mr.. Wiman, who is
well and popularity Known OH News
paper Row, note, asking him Tor some
expression as TO the charges made against
him and the situation in which he hnds
himself placed. In response the prisoner
sent Out the following reply:
81 would be very giad 10 do so, but un-
der the advice OF General Benjamin r.
Tracy, my counsel, / wll make no state
ment until my turn comes. am sorry 10
deny anything 10 newspaper men, but
mus adre.e 10 that determination for the
present.
"M hen the announcement OF the moving
powers against me IS exhausted, ana their
nired men are done arraigning and trying
me IN { he newspapers, 1t will then be time
for me 10 speak"
The prisoner was visited by young
lawyer this morning, but the lawyers

W Warden John lallon. who has charge OF the
Iombs prison, stated this morning that
Mr.. Niman bad passed a good night and
was bearing up hravely under the c.rcum-
stances. When asked why Mr.. Wimen
was placed in cell in" Murderer Row."
Warden l'Rllon replied:
"1'hc pr.son is very much crowded, par
tcGlar on the second and third tiers
where persons against whom similar
charges are made are usually confined
wbiica await ng triil. In many distances tv o
prisoners occupy the same cell. The reason
placed Mr. Wlman in No. . was tlrgt he
would have a cell 10 himself, and as he
came in so late yesterday evening it was
impossible 20 plnce him elsewhere. IL he
remains here for any length OF time he
will be transferred.
Up TO The present time it is not known
whether or lot efforts will he made to
procure Tail for Mr.. Wiman today.
