The Theatre.

A large and fashionable audience
assembled on Wednesday evening in
hexter's Opera House to witness the
presentation of "Faust" by the John
Griffith Company Tho play was
very satisfactory to its auditors, the
part of "Mephisto" being performed
by Mr.. Griffith with a finish that en-
titles him to high rank among the
actors who have essayed that difficult
impersonation. Mr.. Eugene Moore
as "Faust" and Miss Anna Boyle as
Marguerite" won the complete favor
of their audience, and the support
that on which depends SO much the
success or failure of a play-was ex-
cellent. The efforts of the manager
during the present winter have
brought many excellent companies to
Greeuville, and the public, ever ready
to patronize really good play, have
not been slow to appreciate his eff.
forts for their entertainment.
The next attraction at the Opera
House will be "a Midnight Bell" III
which Digby and Laura Joyce Bell
have achieved national reputation.
These talented artists are In the front
rank of their profession, and the
presentation of "a Midnight Bell"
will DO notable event III tho tbeatrl-
cal history of Greenyille, and should
be welcomed by as large an audience
as the Opera House will hold.

A. Tompkns, who claims to be the pro-
moter of a patent for laying streetcar
tracks, has been operating in Fruitvale,
and a number of men who have been
working for him would like to know his
present location.
The promoter made use of business cards
which stated that he was the sole Califor-
MIA agent for the Wooley patent fishplate
and bolt and obtained permission from the
Haywards Electric Railroad to place some
of his bolts on section of their road at
Fruitvale.
After putting the bolts and plates in po-
sitlon Tompkins hired half a dozen men,
half of whom watch by day and the other
half by night. They were told that there
was conspiracy or foot to 1njure these
plates in such manner as to make them
appear of no value. Each watchman was
secretly instructed to keep watch on his
neig Dor. ana was given to understand
that his fellow-watchers b ad been bought
to stand in with a rival company and
work an injury to the Tompkins patent
At all hours of the night Tompkins
would disguise himself and go down to
the tracks for the puopose of seeing
whether his men were on duty. On sew
eral occasions his men were so conscien-
tious that Tompkins, who had started to
meddle with the fish plates, was quite
roughly handled before his watchmen
we're convinced of his identity.
On an another occasion Tompk went
down at night to see if his men were faith
full, and he clim bed up into tree from
where he could watch. While up the tree
he fell asleep ana tumbled to the ground,
and some of his watchmen picked him up.
After this kind of business had been
kept up for a week the men wanted their
pay, and at this juncture Mr.. Tompkins
seems TO have taken trip to some other
city. for he cannot be found, although
Deputy Constable Robinson has visited all
the places where Tompkins would be
likely to be.
a. l.. Stone, secretary of the Haywards
road, said to-day that their superintend-
mission to lay some ishplates as an
ex, erment on their track at Fruitvale
Nothing was paid him for his trouble, and
the company aid not bind itself to do any
business with Tompkins.
On account of his connection with a
firm which was important enough to make
experiments and pay for a small crowd of
watchmen, Thompkins' credit was very
good, and according to Constable Robin
son he appr ciated his standing and took
advantage of ii. He has not yet turned
up, and those watchmen go down at night
to watch those plates no more. They are
now diligently watching for Tompkins'
return.
