A Philadelphia dispatch says that
nearly a thousand people stood up

Arcadia is an attractive opera.
and in it abundant opportunity is al
forded the little artistic and the lead

their talents. The stage effects are
fine, the costumes rich and gorgeous,
the chorus strong, and, in fact,
the company an excellent one. Co

dancer and is a winning, charming

A BAY0NNE TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Higgins Killed by a Drill Engin 9
boarding - Train.

Mrs. Higgins Killed by a Drill Engine
boarding - Train.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly after mi
o'clock, Mrs. Anna Higgins, wife of
Charles Higgins, went to the Bayonne
station to board q train for New York.
When the east bound way train pulled
into the station Mrs. Higgins, together
with others, ran down the steps toward
the train, which, It is said, had just
stopped. She was crossing the track
nearest to the station when q wild cat"
engine, to which a caboose was attached,
came laundering down upon her, n al
most before the lady was aware of its APP
proach and ere she could make q move to
escape, the locomotive struck her, throw
ing her to one side and scattering blood
and a portion of the remains along the
track for some distance.
Station and train men n sympathiZ-
ing ~bystanders picked up the quivering
and mutilated body and carried it up the
station steps, but just as the top was
reached the woman gave q gasp and life
was extinct. Tenderly the remains were
placed in q vehicle and removed to the
late home of the deceased, a pretty little
cottage at No. 80 Willow street. The hus-
band was hastily summoned from his
place of business in New York, and but a
short time elapsed ere his return to the
home he a left so peaceful and happy
in the morning, and to find his beloved
wife cold and stiff in death, mangled al
most beyond recognition. His grief was
h~eartrending to witness.
The County Physician has been sum-
moned, and will doubtless impanel a jury
today.
The locomotive which struck the In
fortunate lady was No. 435, in charge of
Engineer Joseph G. Wilson. There can
be little doubt of the company's
responsibility for this gross violation of
rules and law by one of their employees,
as eye witnesses of the affair say that no
warning was given of the approach of
the engine until it was directly upon the
lady.
Mrs. Higgins leaves an infant child.
Her funeral will probably take place to-
mo rrOW.

iect came up between the king Of Sweden and
some high military officials and was warmly

much interested in the debate, and. IN order
to satisfy himself, ordered the tomb to be
openod and the skull examined. | was pres
emit mt the examination, which took place Mt
midnight in the old church where the remains
repose near those Of Gustavus Adolphus.
The bullet which ended the life Of Charles
XII passed through tho skull IN a direct line.
On examining the skull | was struck by the
fact that the hole in tue forehead was larger
than the one at the base noticed further
that the bone Of the skull whore the ball
messed in front was spiintered and forced out
ward. while at the base the bone Of the skull
was forced inward. This was conclusive TO
mymind that theshot that had killed Charles
came from behind, which was reasonably con-
elusive that it was fred by ono Of his own
men. but whether with malicious intent or
not no ono can say. The king had very little
TO say on the subject 40 the time, but 1t was
agreed that no other verdict than the one
mentioned was correct, and am satisfied

GOVERNORS OFFICE ROBBED.
Mysterious Disappearance of $40 Worth
of stamps Duringitbe Night.

The Governors office was opened Thurs
day night by an unknown party and $40
worth Of stamps were stolen and number OF
old refused pardon papers were removed
from their shelves and scattered over the
O0r. 1t is the custom Of Mr.. {. Mcleod,
the Governors private secretary. and his
messenger, Thomas Jones, TO lock the door
of the Office each evening when they leave
and hang the key near the door When
they returned yesterday morning they found
tine door locked, but the.key had been taken
from its usual place. This aroused the
supervision OF Mr.. Mcleod, who called
Walker Howard, the janitor at the Capitol,
and directed him 10 bring a step-laGder and
look over the transOm of the door. Upon
doing this. Howard saw that the drawers in
the front Office, occupied by the private sec
rotary, had been broken into and the papers
scattered over the floor. A lOcksmith was
sent for and the door forced open. When
the men entered they discovered that the
articles had been stolen. The Governors
private office had not been disturbed.
How the thieves gained admittance 10 the
Capitol is a mystery, as the gates on that
0or were locked as usual, and the doors on
the first floor Were guarded by Capitol
police. The matter has been placed in the
hands of detectives.
