rHoMsoN.ERN CONCERT.
A Brilliant Audience-A Musical Treat.
Voice and Violin Vie for Supremacy.

A Brilliant Audienco-A Musical treat
Voice and Violin Vie for supremacy
Arrayed 10 a rich dress of black silk,
without ornament, save only that which
her beautiful face and winning smile pro-
vided, Agnes Thomson, when she pre-
sented herself to the good people of LAM
bertville on the occasion of her concert
here last Thursday evening, was greeted
with enthusiasm and undeniable admira-
ton.
She had the assistance of Henri Ern,
the famous violinist, and James Fitch
Thomson, the well known baritone. The
programme which these delightful artists
gave, fully met the high expectations
which had been raised. First, Agnes
Thomson sang the Arditi Waltz with a
wealth of vocal beauty that has never
been equaiied here, and treated her audi
ence TO sustained L in alt at the finish OF
the Aria, note which in point of altitude
alone, is reached by very few of the great
est singers. She appeared also in num-
Der of English songs sung with the most
delicious relish. The climax OF her work
was reached in the Braga Serenadc with
Violin Obligato by Mr.. Err. The comb.
nation of this beautiful voice and the rich
tones of the violin, presented morceau
in music which will ever be remembered
by those who heard it, and the Bach
Gonoud ave Maria given by way of
encore, was no less appreciabe.
Henri Ern added several encores TO his
programmed numbers heretofore an
nounced and still further deepened the
impression he made here on the occa-
sion of his first appearance last Spring.
The peculiar beauty of the rich tone he
pro iuces from his Instrument, WAS es-
pecially noticeable in the "Rsff" Cavstina,
played as an encore.
The finished singing of a man who has
voice and knows how to use il, was
amply displayed in the six songs James
Fitch Thomson rendered. His delivery
of Foote's "Iove me If live, y his phras-
ing of the celebrated Toreador's Song and
the atmosphere of jollity which he threw
around Gays "Gypsy John," stamped
him as baritone OF transccndent ability.
H. s. Krouse acted as uccompanlst
throughout the programme, and estab-
lished his claim of equality with his artistic
confreres.
The Baptist church presented plat
form neatly decorated with plants and Is
TO be co. graduated upon what was with
out doubt the rarest musical treat ever
offered 10 Lqmbertville.

THE BOARDS REPLY.

The answer OF the Board OF commas
sioners OF our City Fire Department to
the report of the special accountant Is
a calm, dignlhed, and. we believe,
STRAIGHTFORWARD statement. That the
board has erred In some instances In
following presidents established by
Council committees 1t freely admits;
but, on the other hand. that 1t has prac-
ticed economies that no Council COM
mittee would have thought OF practicing
seems equally clear.
There are still some law questions at
Issue between the City Council and the
board. These, we suppose. will have to
ceeding in a court Of competent Juris-
diction. 1t Is sufficient for present
purposes for the public to know that
the administration Of the Fire Depart
ment has been without faint of fraud,
aud has been business-lke and truly
effective in the great purpose for which
the department was organized. The
people generally, and the mass OF tax
paying people particularly, are well
satisfied with the board
BY the way, as showing what prece-
dents 1t had before It, the board
states the curious fact that when It was
indicted into office the retiring Council
committee welcomed II with n parade.
inspection, and supper. and the board at
the time thought that this was mighty
hospitable but a little later on the COM
mittee had the bill Of expenses sent TO
the board. and this bill was paid by
draft upon the City Auditor! Another
thing. the board shows that II does not
spend half as much money per annum
sending the Chief Engineer Of the de-
partment to fremen's conventions as
the Council and Council committee used
TO spend for that purpose.
In short. the investigation of the affairs
Of the Fire Department go to show that
we have a much better managed and
equipped department than we used TO
have under the Council committee; that
the city's interests are well looked after,
and that this community is under a
debt of gratitude to President John II.
Frischkorn and his associates on the
Board Of Fire Commissioners.

WHO STARTED THE INQUIRY.

Not unfit very recently had the Dis
patch ever heard that 1t was questioned
that Mr.. James r. Branch was entitled
TO the credit of starting the inquiry
which resulted in the exposure OF the
rottenness in the management of the City
Gas-Works. Immediately upon receiving
information to this effect we wrote to
Mr.. Branch asking for statement front
him, and this we give, as follows:
New York. April II, 1896.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your favor Of the 9th just received and
carefully noted. The facts are as fol-
lows: After l had been in the City Coun-
Gil short while, from points picked up
here and there l had reason to believe
that there was something wrong at the
gas-works, and from. conversations with
different people in the employ OF the city
| was convinced of the same
/ had no desire 10 claim any credit
for trying to live up TO my oath OF Of
fee. but 1 believe that the motion made
by me at the meeting Of the Light Com
mittee at the gas-works when / first
noticed a discrepancy in one OF the ac-
counts-viz., ITO require the Superlntend-
ent to furnish balance sheet and trial
balance of the books at the next meeting
of the Light Communicable have been
the first practical effort made to get at
the root OF the evil. At the next meet
ing OF the committee these balance
sheets were not furnished. 1 then re-
quested Mr.. James Vaughan TO ask for
a committee to be appointed to investi-
gate and report on the books and &C
counts of the gas-works. This committee
was appointed, with Mr.. Vaughan as
chairman, but at his request and on his
statement that ] had started this inyes-
tigation my name was added to the COM
mitee and I was made chairman of the
same. The results of the investigation.
and the recommendation of the commit
tee to discharge the book-keeper and
foreman, and to take steps to secure
the city against loss, and. the Councils
refusal to adopt this report is a matter
of public record.
I am pleased to see that the second
committee which was appointed found
things practically the same as our COM
mittee did. and that more matured
judgment on the part OF the Council
practically endorsed the reports OF both
committees
There IL no doubt In my mind but that
members of the city government sus-
pected enough to have made an investi-
CATION Of benefit before was In the
City Council and 1t Is a pity that the
cltys interests were not more carefully
guarded. Very respectfully.

The appointment Of General FITS Lee
70 the position Of consul-GeneraI to Ha-
bana Is equivalent to the Presidents
sending him to Cuba as his confidential
agent.
we suspect that what the President
wishes to have is representative OF TINS
government at Habana who VIII be wen
qualified 10 Judge Of the military situa-
ton. while he neglects none OF the regu-
lar duties of consul-general. This
trust we feel sure that Fitz Lee VIII
measure up to and discharge SATISFACTORY
Iy. Notwithstanding the fact that ne
is a veteran OF the Indian wars on the
border and Of the war for southern inoe-
pendence, Lee is in the prime OF life. ana
has been as successful in serving tne
people In civil office as in military Of
flee.
The position that General Lee no"
holds IL that of Collector OF Internal
Revenue for the Lynchburg District
and, pecuniarily speaking. IT Is almost as
good place as that Of the Habana con-
sul-generalship, which pays $500 per
annum; but the latter Office Is OF greater
dignity, considering the present reIatiohs
of the United States with Spain, ana
the responsible and delicate duties 'hae
will devoive upon our representative at
Habana. The diplomatic intercourse be-
tween the United States and Spain must
be conducted between the proper func-
tionaries at Washington and Madrid, but
Fitz Lee will, as 1t were. be "our artist
on the spot in Cuba, and Will Keep our
government better Informed than 1t has
been heretofore concerning the strength
and movements OF the so-called "insur..
gents" and their claims to be recognized
as belligerents. Our country has not
been successfully represented at Habana'
and .the consequence is that II has been
lacking in accurate information; Informal
ton which. we guess. has long ago been
gathered. by the English. French, and
German consular agents and placed be-
fore their respective governments.
