The New Jersey City Operatic Associa-

mas been decided to engage Mrs. Charles
III. Clarke 70 sing the leading soprauo
part.
This decision has caused considerable
surprise, rs il was generally supposed
that after the brilliant success which Miss
Niunie Sandmeyer scored in the recent
Dsrfortaance of the "Chimes Of Nor
mandy" she would be engaged to I'LL the
leadiag parts in the c0mpany's perform
apces There were many who thought
that some personal or other cause had ac-
mated the management in casting Mrs.
Clarke for the leading parts instead OF
Miss Sandmeyer. This was mistake.
however. the managers say. aud nothing
but pure business reasons influenced them
in their decision.
Thev endorse most heartlly the publie's
oninion of Miss Sandmeyer's performance
OF the part OF Serpole te. and say that she
was much better fitted for that role than
Mrs. Clarke. On the other hand. they
believe that Mrs. Clarke will fill the lead
ing soprano part in "Iolanthe" much bet
ter than Miss Sandmeyer could.

CELLULOID EXPLODES.
Terrible Explosion Today in the
Works at Arlington.

A terrible explosion took place a few
minutes after Q o'clock this morning In
the Celluloid Works at Arlington, ia the
northern part Of this county. The entire
structure was blown to pieces. and there
appears to be reason TO fear that several
persons were in the building. The debris
Of the wrecked building Immediately
caught fire, ana owing to the extremely
lnnammable nature Of its coufents a
fierce and dangerous blaze was under way
IN few moments.
The Arlington Celiuloid Works Is q
very extensive establishment II COM
prises three large brick buildings. close
70 the railway and near the depot, the
one destroyed being the dry house.
There are employed in the works be-
tween two hundred and three hundred
hands. many OF them girls. 1t is not
known yet whom or how many were at
work in the doomed building. and only
by a comparison Of the surviving work
men with the lists can it be learned to
certainty, As the explosion aud the FIRE
have surely destroyed every vestige Of
human life that might have existed then.
The hre increased rapidly and it looks
as though the entire works would be de-
stroyeu, IN which case more explosions
will inevitably follow.
The Arlington Celluloid Works has
long been regarded by residents as a
menace to life and property. The build
ings were destroyed by fire and explosion
about eighteen months ago, and rebuild
ing was unsuccessfully opposed by ciri-
zens- 1t is said TO be the only celluloid
manufactorv not included IN the Cell
luloid Trusts
The works are owned by the Arlington
Manufacturing Company, whose oiiice Is
at ST. Leonard street, New York
It was stated at the company's Office
that information there was to the effect
that the explosion occurred in what is
known as the picture house." which was

there was something on the track. He
gave the engineer the signal to stop, but

opening in the track and was forced
through IL. With a rush iE fell and

After the train had been stopped the
engineer and brakemen, with several
passengers, ran down the stairs. They
found the man-dead- The body was
that OF a man apparently forty-6vs years
old and respectfully dressed The pave
ment where the poor fellow struck was

name inscribed thereon. There was also
found life policy for 5000 and papers
that showed that the deceased was q
member of the FreIheit Society, of New
ark, and that he lived at No. II Newark
street, IN that city. The Coroner took
charge OF the body and immediately be-
gan an ipvestigatlon.
Il was learned that the man had en-
tered Coyle's saloon at about two o'clock
and asked for q drink. Henry Midore,
the bartender. refused to serve him as he
was intoxicated. He left the saloon and
started down Washington street towards
the elevated railroad station. The suppo-
sition is that he climbed the stairs
and after reaching the platform tum Dled
of the edge TO the track Just as the M
bound train approached. The dead mans
umbrella was found on the platform OF
the station. This morning Coroner Pars-
low communicated with the Chief OF Po~
