DIR. DESANGES HELD.
Accused of Causing Pretty Mamie
Bishops Death.
Specfa1 to the Jersey cftu Mems.

AsBURY PARK, Dec. 80. lS9l.-THE
NEWS yesterday told of the indignation
of Mamie Bishops relatives at the asDer-
sions cast upon the dead girls character,
but the inquest, which was conducted
last night, shows that the unfortunate
girls death was caused by the unlawful
operation performed by Doctor Henry S.
Desanges, q prominent physician of this
place.
The accused doctor was at once placed
under arrest upon warrant issued by
Coroner ,Vandyke. He was taken before
Justice Wyckoff and remanded until TO-
day, when he was arraigned before the
Court at Freehold and placed under bail
for his appearance before the January
Grand Jury.
At yesterdays examination the most
important evidence was given by Drs.
autopsy at the request OF the Coroner.
These physicians told the jury that the
autopsy failed to reveal the presence of
any poison in the girls stomach, but they
emphatically declared that her death
was the result of criminal operation
performed a short time before her de-
mise.
SOME NEIGHBoRLY GOSSIP.
Mrs. Martha Van Note, a neighbor OF
the Rowlands, testified that Mamie came
to her house about month ago and in
formed her that she was in serious
trouble and pleaded with the witness to
keep the fact from Mrs. Rowland. Mamie
also remarked that she was going to be
married this winter.
Thomas Bergen informed the jurors
that he had seen Mamie in the company
of DR.. Desanges a short time before
her death.
The Coroner endeavored to ascertain
the author of the girls trouble. but moth
ing definite was elicited.
The story current that Silas Cheney, a
brother-in-law of Horace Greeiy, who
was boarder at the Rowland cottage.
was paying attention to the pretty
daughter of his landlady was vigorously
denied.
The testimony closed last evening. and
the jury returned q verdict after being
out a half hour. DR.. Desanges was
astounded when the officer placed him
under arrest. He maintained that he
was Innocent of the alleged crime, and
would be vinuicated when his case was
ventilated by the Grand Jury.
He admitted. however, that he was of
the opinion that thes Bishop girls death
was the result of malpractice, but pro-
tested that he had nothing to do with the
unpleasant affair.
Two years ago DR.. Desanges was ar
rested on the charge Of performing a for
hidden operation on the daughter of q
wealthy farmer living near this place.
The Grand Jury failed to return a bill of
Indictment, aud he was discharged.

MISS NORRIS TRIUMPH.
Her "Camille' is a Wonderful
Piece of Acting.

Clara Morris was at her best last night
when she played "Camille" at the New
Opera House. The audience was cul-
tured and critical one, but the great
emotional actress captured it from the
start. The story of Camille, the younger
Dumas first dramatic success, is that of
dashing woman of the world sinful in
her habits, but womanly in her natural
instincts.
After capturing men of fashion, ,squand-
ering their wealth in the most reckless
extravaganza she falls in love with poor
young man of good family. The couple
seeks happiness in country place far
from the gaities of Paris, and there for a
short time nothing bnt unalloyed happi
ness Is theirs. This comes to an end
when the father of the young man per-
suades Camille to leave her lover for his
welfare. To save him from disgrace and
to give happiness to her lovers sister.
Camille deserts him, and to prevent him
from following her. leaves letter which
states she has deserted him for another.
1t is here that the great talent of Clara
Morris finds opportunity to display itself.
Her struggles with her passions while the
father beseeches her to fly, and the con-
flicting emotions that follow her oath to
do so, are narvels of genius. The emotions
OF the acCreSS are SO real. so True TO
woman of the peculiar characteristics of
Camille that the audience watches and
listens in almost breathless silence. That
close, silent observation is an applause
greater in it's significance than the wild
est cheers could be.
In the last acc where Camille, deserted
by all but very few friends, dies in pov-
erty, but in the arms of Armand Duval,
the man she loves, the actress is at her
best. The wan and worn face of the vic
tim of consumption is a photograph from
life, the cough the trembling. the phys-
cal weakness are so real that pity, genu-
inc ana deep, fill the hearts of the be-
holder for the poor misguided Camille.
1t is deathbed scene that once wit
messed is never to be forgotten. 1t is the
creation OF genius.
The company that supported the star
last night is an excellent one, each per-
former being clever In his or her part.
This was particularly true of Mr.. J. M.
Colville as Armand Duval. The others in
the company were w. G. Kelley, J. H.
Sutherland, Howard Coveney Owen
Eaton, j. M. Elliott, MISS Mituens Will
lett. Miss Florence Noble, Miss Mary
Timberman and Miss Abelone Barrison.
Tonight Miss Morris will appear in
"Renee de Moray" and tomorrow night
she will again play "Odette." The only
matinee this week will be on New Years
Day.

The Company Promises to
Protect Brown Place
Sewer.
AND ALL PUBLIC RIGHTS.
Reform in the Water Department
Clerks Must Do Their Full
Duty Every Day.

At an adjourned meeting OF the Board
zof Street and Water Commissioners held
this morning. Counsellor Corbin, of Col
Inns & Corbin, presented petition from
the Lehigh Valley Terminal Railway
Company. asking permission to cross
Brown place sewer with its tracks. The
petition was as follows:-
The Lehigh Valley Terminal Railway Com p IN
respectfully applies for leave to construct their
elevated tracks over and across the Brown
place sewer and the strip of land OF the city
through whic h the sewer Is built. and offer and
agree, in case their application is granted. to
cons for The support OF taeir raens S and
having an elevation not less than fifteen rect IN
the clear above the crown of the sewer, resting
upon stone abutments constructed wholly on %
land of the city, not less than fifty feet apart,
as shown on sketch annexed, and for
leave to erect on sag str strip p.r.ot,;ng OF ase "a
shall be necessary during the construction OF
the bridges and the work connected therewlth
In constructing or maintaining such crossing
the company agree not to injure said sewer, and
in case the same shall be injured, to restore the
same Immediately to it's former condition.
The petition IS drawn with view TO
complying with the requests OF Green"
vile citizens who object to having abut-
ments stand on city property. The bridge
span and the abutments will be con-
structed on railroad property. The petit
tion was referred to the Committee on
Streets.
A MEASURE OF REFORM.
The Comm issioners also made another
stride toward reform in the Water De-
partment by unanimously adopting the
following:
Resolved, That the clerical force employed in
the Water Department of this Board and over
whom authority is exercised by the Water
Assessor, shall report daily to that officer, who
is hereby directed and required to keep correct
minute Of the amount of SCI vice rendered by
each OF said employees; and further be it
Resolved That no minute shall be made on
the record hereby directed to be kept by any
other person than the Water Assessor, who
shalt prior to the preparation of the monthly
pay roll, submit such record to the Chairman of
the COMMITTEES.
The resolution is designed to cOmDel
the clerks under Water Assessor Heller
to put in an appearance at niue O'Clock
every morning and remain there until
four o'clock in the afternoon. This rule
has not been observed as rigidly as the
Commissioners desire.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
Board of Finance to appropriate "a, 500 for
the payment of salaries and claims of the
Engineering Bureau. The weather of
the past month has made 1t
necessary to suspend work on i'm
provements which would bring
in to the city sufficient sum Of money to
keep the department running. The sus-
and the 81, 500 will have to be appropriated
to pay the salaries of the employees for the
current month. The Board will meet
apatn nAYt Monday morning.

NO MORE TIME TO LOSE.


City incorporation ought to be moving
on faster than it is. Comparatively little
progress has been made this week as far as
concerns the carrying forward of the lega
requirements. The census has been
taken, and it is found that there are ,OS5
legal voters residing within the area to be
Incorporated. AS far as the census COM
mittee can estimate it is thought that
nearly two-thirds Of these voters are ripe
for the movement, all in favor of incor-
poration, and will vote for it. Still these
figures are rather above what many of the
more conservative calculate on, and they
say that it will require earnest and per-
sistent work to secure a majority for it
unless hard work is done persistently
from this time on till the polls are closed
on election day.
Let the committeeman, then, and all
who want to see Santa Fe grow and pros
per, be up and doing. The census report
should be officially announced at once,
and beginning with next Monday morn
ing everybody should take fresh inter-
est in pushing the matter to a speedy is
sue. Too much depends upon this result
to allow it to lag. Many Improvements
are only awaiting the settlement of the
question; outside investors are holding
off now until the thing is determined,
and when so much depends on this ques-
ton, all should join hands and crowd it
to an immediate and happy victory.
