PALMA KILLS 4 BUCK.
Like Unto the First Stag
Brought Down by
the Club.
BUT IT'S ANTLERS WERE BIGGER.
Lots of Fun in the Cozy Recreation
Ro0m-Who Took Part and
the Programme they
Presented.
BUT IT'S ANTLERS WERE BIGGER.

The reception room of the Palma Club
than it did last night Tue chandeliers
were decorated with slnilax and the tenn
porary platform which had been con-
structed was gaily decorated with flags.
The occasion of this display was the
second stag racket of the season. The
last stag held was pronounced an uu-
qualified success. but the efforts of the
Amusement Committee last night
to discount any stag ever
held were crowned with success
Never was a Palma stag better attended,
and never did the members enjoy more
pleasant evening and go home better
pleased with an event of the same char
acter.
The fun began with a solo by James
Nesbett, who rendered a parody on the
'Mock1ng Bird' in pleasing manner.
For an encore parody of "Bye-Bye" was
sung.
William Payne. a trick banjoist and
vocalist, next performed feats which
elected mucn applause. He also rem
dered several comic songs which almost
convulsed his hearers with laughter.
Mr.. Glenfield, ventriloquist, next oc-
cupied the attention of the assemblage
and afforded much entertainment with
his delusions. Tony Ryan, a club favor
lite, rendered several recitations, conclud-
ing with the Mad Musician"
Difficult feats in Indian club swinging
were performed by G. Schneider. Many
of the aspiring young athletes of the club
profited by his wonderful exhibition of
skill and strength in the art.
THE CoLoRED MAscoTs.
Ashby and Johnson. the little colored
mascots of the Scottish-American Ath-
letic Club, next gave an amusing. if not
scientific, exhibition of the manly
art. The little chaps were londly
eucored. and in the wind up hammered
each other in truly puglistic style. When
time was called the little fellows retired
amid a storm of applause.
Shannon Brothers. two we'll known de-
scriptive vocalists of New York, were
next introduced and for fully twenty
minutes Kept the gathering in an uproar
with their humorous selections.
Mr.. Redfern, popular tenor of the
club, volunteered to render several selec-
tions. He was given we'll merited an.
plause. This concluded the musical por-
ton of the entertainment.
Then "Bill" Dunn. the crack prize
fighter. was introduced. His opponent
was Tommy Warren. Several lively
bouts were fought and many cigars
changed hands when the referee an
nounced the points made by each man.
The fight was lively one and WAS gre at
Iy enj,yed bylovers of the manly art.
At the conclusion of the bout the men,
bers adjourned to the billiard room to
witness an exhibition game between
Mr. Oddie, the amateur billiard
player of Philadelphia. and Mr..
Brooklyn. The players were evenly
matched, and the game proved exceed
ingly interesting to the nume-
rous lovers of this sport,
who watched the game closely from be-
giuning to end 1t is not at all improbable
that the men will be induced TO play a
match game on the Palma Club tables
shortly. The festivities concluded at
midnight.

NEWARK, Dec. 12, 1891 Clemens Croab
plunged Il knifeblade in his neck and
drew 1t across his throat last night in
Albert Geherer's saloon, No. l03 Howard
street. He sat alone at beer table
when he did the deed, aud the others in
the saloon were not aware of what ne was
doing until his heal bumped hard on the
table Croab was Immediately removed
to the German Hospital. The man had
only beeu in the city since Thurs
day morning. He went direct,
upon his arrival here. to Geherers
saloon aud boarding house.
He had travelled in Russia, Australia,
South America and France during the
last nine years, he said; 10 fact, ever since
he lett his wife in the Fatherland. He
had been successful only part OF the time.
but when he arrived in America two
weeks ago he still had plenty ot money to
spare. OF his life in New York he told
but little. He could not find work, bnt
lie intimatad that he had had COOL time
in The metropolis and had depleted his
roll of bank notes considerably.
About eleven o'clock he finished his
story aud went out fora walk. Early
yesterday morning Croab returned and
tOlu Tue SaIOOD-Keeper tnaG gang OF
roughs on the "Hilr' had robbed him.
Geherer asked him how much money hal
been taken from him and Croab said S.,
all he had.
There were no marks of violence or
other signs of a scuff1s and the story did
not seem to be credited. Croab appeared
to feel that he had made no impression
for he left the saloon and did not return
until late in the afternoon. He had a
hearty ennppr and than spt doxvn at 81
cable in the corner of the saloon. He was
morose and silent. At eight o'clock he
ordered glass of beer aud while musing
over it, suddenly drew the knife from his

it in his neck.
Blood saturated his clothes and pool

At the hospital the doctors, after an ex-
animation, said that Croao AMI cut the

A GRAIN RUSH COMING.
Local Railroad officials Preparing
To Meet 1t Here.

Local railroad officials are preparing
for big grain rush. For some days
there has been blockade at the West, fol-
lowed by an imperative demand for freight
cars to break it. Still, railroad men say
there is no trouble at this end. They
assert further that with all the facilities
for storing grain in the elevators, ships
and grain-barges, it Is practically i'm
possible to have grain blockade at this
port. They lay the blame for such
trouble as there is to Chicago and the
Western roads. They sJmit, however,
that the condition is serious, and one
officer said that his road had taken the
utmost precaution to prevent beiug over
whelmed by the avalanche of grain. All
the roads throughout the country are
ordering more cars and locomotives. aud
the Pennsylvania alone has recently or
dered 5000 new freight cars. At this
port tramp scnoonerS are eagerly looked
for, and nearly all elevators are full. The
situation Is made all the more complex
by the receipt at this port of heavy ship
ments of wheat from Manitoba in bond.
Officials of the Pennsylvania, Erie,
New York Central, and West Shore Rail-
roads admitted yesterday that every
freight car was in use. and some thought
that rival roads were in difficulty. Grain
dealers have been made aware of the
Western blockade by their failure 20 re-
ceive expected shipments, and the matter
has been freely discussed at the Produce
Exchange.
The statements of the railroad officials
who were seen yesterday were in the
main as follows:-Heretofore it has been
the practise of roads west of Chicago to
transfer their loaded cars to Eastern
roads and send them direct through to
this city. But duriag the last month the
Western roads saw that there was an I'M
mense local business in moving grain to
Chicago, and then in returning for more
loads instead of transferring their cars
to Eastern roads.
They professed to have a fear that their
cars might be blockaded at Buffalo or
New York. And then they believed that
the vessels aud elevators at Chicago could
keep down the heavy surplus. AS re-
suit, all grain was unloaded at Chicago,
and If any was moved from extreme
Western points direct to New York. the
Eastern roads had to do it with their own
cars. The result was that the Central,
Erie, Lehigh Valley, West Shore, and
Pennsylvania Roads. as well as some
others, had to furnish an unusual supply
of their own cars In order to get the grain
TO the seaboard.
The only fear is Of a snowstorm, Bar
ring that they can pull through, even il
they have to build cars.
