The cases of Bradley VS.. the Pennsyl-

There are two suits pending, growing ont
Of an accident on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, in December, 1888 The story will
possibly be remembered by the readers Of
the TArrLER. Two little sons of man
named Bradley living on Railroad avenue,
started to cross the network of tracks at
Henderson street, on their way to school,
when Engineer Hutton's locomotive struck
them. One of the lads, Francis, was
killed instantly. The other, Thomas, was
SO badly injured that, for time, his life
was despaired Of, but he recovered. Mr..
Bradley sued for the loss of his dead son,
and for the injuries sustained by the living
one. The suit, based upon the injuries
sustained by Thomas, was tried by Judge
Knapp without jury, yesterday. It was
for $4,000. The plaintiff, represented by

At THE Kinks.
The Fun Of Last Week and Programme
for Next Week.

The Fun Of Last Week and Programme
for Next Week.
The Park Roller Skating Rink was very
well attended last week, both by skaters
and those wishing to look on. Manager
Jones has erected balcony along the west
side of the rink for the accommodation of
the numerous onlookers. The programme
at the rink last week was, as it always is,
very good. Monday and Tuesday nights
the Presson Combination gave an entertain
ment which consisted of roller skating,
bicycle riding and club swinging. The
Leslie Brothers gave an exhibition in double
acrobatic skating, turning somersaults,
hand springs and doing all kinds of aero
batic tricks on skates. Then the Presson
Brothers, on bicycles, amused those pres
ent by fancy riding and game Of polo.
BERTHE Mann then did club swinging act
on sixties III very clever manner. And
one of the Leslie Brothers, wound up the
entertainment by doing skate act on
stills. the programme for the rest of the
week was taken up in races and fancy trick
skating by professionals.
Manager H. p. Somers, of the Olympian
Club Roller Skating Rink on Baldwin ave-
nue., when speaking of the attendance,
said: Although there seems to be plenty
of ice skating, it don't diminish the num-
Der of people that attend the rink in the
slightest, as we have been crowded most
every night" The programme at the rink
last week was very good. There was fancy
and trick skating by professionals who
could not be exceled In their line. There
were games of foot ball and polo, and races
of all kinds, such as potato, obstacle, wheel
t,ar L.
ward races, some of which were very funny
and others that were very exciting. Mr..
Somers should be compImented on the
able way in which he manages the rink.
He is very young to hold such position,
but from the manner he run things it is
easy to see that he thoroughly understands
his business. The programme for this
week will be entirely different from any
thing ever before given at this rink.
The Alpha Skating Rink is enjoying the
same success as the other Kinks. 1t is
crowded at every session. The entertain
| ment given at this rink is of fine character,
as none but the best skaters are engaged.
The programme for last week was exceed
ingly good aud was thoroughly enjoyed by
| I'll who attended the rink during the week.
This week the manager has secured NUM-
| Der of skaters who are as fine as can be
had. Among them are Mr.. E. j. Budd,
| the fancy and trick skater. This gentle
man is acknowledged to be one of the
most graceful and clever skaters in the
business. The Post Brothers do double
act, in which they execute sixty different
tricks, that bring them well deserved APP
plause On Monday, Feb. 9, fancy dress
carnival will be held and number of valu-
able prizes will be given for those wearing
original costumes. The affair will nc
doubt be grand success, as tie ladies and
gentlemen who attend the rink say they
| will do their best to win prize.

he contracted with some English capital
lists to build railroad from Shanghai to
Woo Song, the first railroad ever laid
within the limits of the Chinese Empire
While he was at work on the road, the
Chinese attacked him. Their pretext was
that he was trespassing on the property of
widow. The real occasion was their OPP
position to the introduction of foreign
ideas among the flowers of the kingdom.
During the contest Hill was struck in the
chest by bamboo ball that inhict-
cd an injury from which be never
fully recovered. He and the men who
were laboring for him were saved from
death only by the arrival of the English
troops. Two years ago he returned to this
country, but in the month of August last
he went back to Shanghai to settle claim
against the Chinese Government. He was
on his way back by way of Yokohama
when he was taken sick with acute yellow
atrophy of the liver, which was brought on
by the injuries he received in his railroad
battle with the Chinese He was a mem

the Academy of Music. There was a puff
of smoke through the register; but beyond
soaring few of the little boys in the ga'-

QUOTED when officer Pearson told them
there was no danger. The audience in the
orchestra were not disturbed. Assistant
prevailed, aud that the story that Chief
Murphy leapee to his seat, and dramaticaI-
" shouted, For Gods sake keep still |" is
out of whole cloth. Chief Murphy was
sought by an inquisitive TATTLER, but
could not be found.
