The little one handed the woman the

strutted home conscious only that what
she had was heavier than what she had
taken to the store. The woman had given
the child two silver half dollars for the

RECENT LOCAL TRAGEDIES.
AFTER BATH OF THE JOINT SUICIDE
IN CENTRAL PARK.


A Portrait Of Mrs. Koch with Something
About Her Family-The HTurderess
Awaiting Trial in the County Jail
Flood Indicted for the Murder OF Sexton.
The local air has been laden the last
week with fresh tragedies, and reminders
of others ofless recent date. The double
suicide in Central Park, briefly reported in
last Sunday mornings TATrLER, was
brought home to our very doors, and two
days afterwards Hoboken furnished story
of one of the most brutal murders that
ever disgraced the county. Along with the
details Of these tragedies came the story
that the Grand Jury had ordered Flood,
who stabbed Sexton on the Heights three
weeks ago, indicted for murder in the first
degree, and it is said that Druggist Am
Ende, Of Hoboken, who killed the two
young women in Hoboken by compound
ing morphia for quinine, has been indicted
for manslaughter. Besides Flood and
Disque, there were in the Jail, until yes
terday, Mccarthy who killed woman while
attacking his wife, and Golden, the Bay
onne homicide. Golden was taken to
State prison by Sheriff Heintze yesterday
to serve the term to which he was sem
fenced ten days ago. The others are still
awaiting trial.
The tragedy of tragedies, however, was
that double suicide Of last Saturday night
in Central Park. The woman proved to be
Mrs Koch, thewife of Editor Koch of the
NsU Jersey Rreie Presse of this city, whose
home is on Pavonia avenue on the Heights,
and the man his journeyman printer. The
facts of the suicide have been so fully pub
lished that it is unnecessary to go over them
again now. But the readers of the TArrLER
will be interested to know what kind of
looking woman she was who barred her
breast for the pistol of her slayer. Her
portrait, given below, shows kindly, ma
tronly, and not an unpleasing face. Her

The TrentOns Win Game at Last, But
Only From the Jersey Blues.
Twelve hundred people assembled on
the grounds of the Jersey Blue Baseball
Club at Hoboken to see the game which it
had been announced Would be played be-
tween that club and the Trentons, of this
city. As it was at first arranged, yesterday
was the day on which the last of the series
was to be played between the Hobokens
and the Jersey Blues, but the latter
sprung the. trap on the Hobokens
yesterday week by engaging two of the
best of the Trenton nine The Blues then
concluded that they could play the entire
Trenton nine as well as they could sam
pie of them. They accordingly challenged
them for yesterday, and threw the Hobo
kens overheard. 1t was a very chilly day
for the Blues, however, as viii be seen by
the score below. Owing to the darkness
only five innings were played. The score
was as follows oe

ing, huge elephant hurdle racing, camel
racing, with real Nubians as riders, drome-

races, giraffe races. monkey jockey races,
man.horse races, and the most humorous
and langhable OF all are those known as the
obstacle races. In these latter number of
persons will participate, and the fun will
consist in the efforts of the contestants to
surmount the nun .srless impediments
and obstacles which have been placed at
intervals on the racing track. These obsta-
cles will be cunningiy confrived toxes with
covers, through which the runners will
have to pass first into one head foremost
and then out of the next feet first, then to
walk pole laid horizontally, then through
swinging barrels, which turn and twist and
frequently lay the runner fat on his back
in the wrong direction, then over gates,
hurdles, creased poles, then through the
meshes of large, threessided, puzzling
trap net, which is very ludicrors perform
ance, as the runners are houndering around
in this net like SO many fiies caught in q
spiders web. After this the rur ners pass
over the three rings and other impediments
until the final goal is reached in state of
exhaustion by the racers. To stimulate
the contestants, Mr.. Barnam has arranged
a series of cash prizes. All these new per-
formances are added to the regular exhibit
