.Seventy-five panic stricken women fell

the cries of thousands OF women already
assembled contributed to the excitemene

Cries of pain and terror arose, and from

Scores of persons rushed to the rescue,

PANIC In THE THEATRE FRANCAIs.
By Gable to the United Press.

BIZ Cable to the United Press.
PARIS, May 20. lS9S.-A serious panic
occurred yesterday evening in the Thea
tire Francais, which, but for the GOODNESS
and presence of mind Of the performers
might have ended in horrible calamity.
A noise like the cracking of flames was
heard in the gallery of the theatre while
the performances was in progress. Some
persons thought the theatre was burning,
and raised cries of "Fire."
This at once caused panic. and the
audience made rush for the doors. The
performers on the stage remained en-
tirely calm and undisJurbed, and the
manager of the theatre soon appeared at
the footIights and stated that the noise
WAS caused by the bursting of water
pipe.
This reassured the people. most of
whom returned to their seats. and the
performance proceeded without further
tion. Nobody was injured in the
momentary crush which attended the
scare, but a number of ladies tainted.

NEW BRUNswIoK's PosT0FFIoE.
Politics Mixed Up in the Situation of
New Site.

Special to The jersey City Mems
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 90, 1S93.-There
is trouble In New Brunswick over the
postoffice. The difficulty has arisen, not
over the appointment of postmaster,
for the present incumbent. Robert Car
son. tn hough a republican, has given gen.
eral satisfaction. but over the location OF
the place where Uncle Sam can do his
New Brunswick postal business.
The postoffice at present is located IN
the Masonic Hall building on the corner
of George and Albany streets. near the
business section of the city and in place
convenient for all.
OF late, however, business has increased
to such an extent that the present quar-
ters are somewhat cramped, and as the
lease is about to expire the postal authori-
ties at Washington have taken into COLI
sideration the project of securing another
place for the postofftce. Three available
sitesnaye been offered: the old State Bank
building, at the corner OF Albany and
Peace streets: the building formerly used
as a parochial school of st. Peters
Roman Catholic Church at the corner or
George and Paterson streets. and prop
erty at the corner of George ana Wash
ineton streets.
The bank building is owned by City
Treasurer Nelson, who is an anti Ross
democrat. His building pleased the in
spectors sent to determine upon a site,
and it was chosen. Opposition was mads
by the powers chat be, with the result
that another search WAS made and sur
yey carried through which showed That
the building is just fifteen feet outside
the quarter mile distance from the depot.
inside of which the railroad authorities
must deliver aud collect mail free. This
would entail on the Governments an ex-
pense of at least 81, 500 for the handling
of mail, and so were djssipated Mr.. Neil
sons hopes of having Uncle Sam for
tenant.
The next available site. the property on
the corner of George ana Washington
streets, near the depot, is owned by ex-
Judge Charles p. Cowenhoven, also an
anti-Ross man. AS Mr.. CowenhoYen is
man of some prominence it Is said that
Miles Ross has decided TO use mis- ipf1n-
ence to secure the renting Of this property
to the Government, and SO end a political
feud that has caused both men some
trouble.
The parochial school property is realI y
the most convenient location OF the three,
but at present there is little hope of It's
being being decided upon. 10 view of the
intimacy springing up between Messrs.
Ross and Cowenhoven.
Meanwhile the newspapers are taking
sides on the question Each side has its
adbersnts, petitions are being circulated
and signed, and the affair seems to be
making stir out of all proportion to its
m portance

CADMUS CASE AGAIN.
1t Is Sought to Set Aside the Damages
Verdict

1t Is Sought to Set Aside the Damages
Verdict.
Judge Lippincott today, in the Circuit
Court, heard argument on an application
TO set aside the verdict in the case of Jas
per A. Cadmus against David A. Salter.
A jury had awarded Cadmus $1,000 dam
ages for services rendered, and Salter
claimed the verdict was not justified
by the evidence. Counsellor Clarence
Linn, for Salter. made the application
and Counsellor II. K. Kennedy opposed
it on behalf of Cadmus. Mr.. Linu de-
clared the verdict was not in accordance
with the evidence, and said also, that he
had newly discovered evidence which
should be heard. This assertion was
supported by an affidavit.
Counsellor Kenneny vigorously ap-
posed the application and professed that
the verdict WAS fully warranted by the
evidence. He offered the Court an afti-
davit which set forth that the newly
discussed evidence had been in the pos
session of the defendant below. at the
time of the trial and that the person who
was to furnish the evidence had not seen
Saiter for six years before his death and
had not had business relations with him
for fifteen years. Judge Lippincott took
the papers and reserved decision.

ALL DONE In BAYONNE.

Citizens Wish Now to Certiorari the
Common Council.
Judge Lippincott in the Supreme Court
today listened to an argument for a rule
to show cause why writ OF certiorari
should not be issued to review resolu-
tion of the Bayonne Common Council
which awarded to Martin Murray q
contract to curb, grade, flag, sewer and
pave with Macadam West Sixth street.
The, lowest bid was that OF Murray,
but it was about 81, 500 more than the
engineers estimate. The old Common
Council rejected all bids. and when the
new Council same in Office it advertised
for new bids This resolution was vetoed
by the new Mayor. ana the contract was
then awarded to Murray. The land own
efs along the street to be improved
were not all satisfied with this action,
aud some OF them employed Collins q
Corbiu TO certiorart the matter to the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Charles Corbin to-
day made the application TO the Court,
and Counsellor Benny opposed it on be-
half of Murray and the Common Council.
The Court reserved decision.

''You won't let me sing on the street,

the only one who manifested any desire to
accept the invitation, and the soloist was
hustled into cell O'Neifl did not lock
him up, however, until he had satisfied
himself that his charge had no cigars
about him. Policeman Scott secured all
the cigars before O'Neill got him in tow.
AS soon as the singer was put in the
cell he began to warble, and kept it up all
night, and only stopped to wet his whistle.

most aims and endeavors to establish
ourselves with the people of the Heights,

mendation and praise which might be be-
slowed upon US, aud l think That we
have have at last succeeded. at least to
some small extent, beqiT ever so small, Ia
attaching to ourselves the good will and
favor of our admirers.
'But we must not let it lie at that. We
must continue as we have done-no, we
must do even better than we have done,
and win even q better name.
II am much pleased at seeing so many
of you here tonight. That shows plainly
enough the interest manifested in khe
society's work. / greet all our visitors,
in behalf OF the Gemischter Chor. and
trust that you will all partake Of the
good time. and also don's forget the
"kaSe and Dier"?
His remarks provoked much applause.
He was followed by several others in toe

Among those who lost their lives We're

storm. The ship ran before the wind un-
til the hurricane abated, when the sur

the nearest port, and the vessel accord
fuely came to Queenstown rs fast as pos,
si6le in her crippled cordition.
