They Are Now at Hospital In Jersey
City and May Not Recover.
JERSEY CITY, June 7.-Thrce young
men walking along the lonely road be-
tween North Bergen and West HOboken
late last night were startled by stumbling
over the prostrate forms of a man and
woman lying by the roadside. The WON.
an was moaning with pain and seemed
but partially conscious. The man lay as
II dead
The flickering light of a match revealed
n shocking scene There was every evi
dence Of an attempted murder and suicide
The woman was bleeding from pistol
wound i'm one side of her hend, and the
man was suffering from a similar injury.
A revolver lying close beside where the
man had fallen, told the fun tale of the
tragedy.
Mono Of the young men recognized oi-
thor Of the prostrate figures, and one Of
them hurried to the nearest telephone sta
ton while the others remained and tried
to stanch the flow of blood from the two
apparently fatal wounds.
Recognized by the Police.
The police of the West Hobokcn station
were the first to learn of the affair, and
tho sergeant i'm charge Immediately dis
patched "a squad of men to tho spot where
the double shooting had occurred. 10 is a
very lonely portion Of the Paterson plank
road, near whore il Is crossed by the now
Bergen county boulevard
AS soon as the police arrived with Ian
terms the man and woman wcga recognized
as Eli Burct and his wife Eliza
Buret is the owner of a hardware store
in West llobolen and i looked upon as
prosperous business man. lie is about 30
years old, and his wife is of about tho
Same age
From what meager Information the po-
lice could obtain it seems that Rurot and
his wife had been spending the evening
with Mrs. Burets mother i'm North Bcr-
gem When they left there to walk home
together thoy seemed to be in good spirits,
and There was no apparent reason for any
quarrel between them It was thus Inn
possible TO form any dehnits theory of
what led up 10 the shooting.
Taken TO Christ Hospital.
Thopolioo telephoned TO Christ hospital,
on Jersey City Heights, for assistance,
and in the course of an houran ambulance
reached the scene of the shooting and Mr.
and Mrs. Buret, still unconscious, were
removed to the hospital
The surgeons at the hospital this morn
ing were unable TO give any definite infor-
nation regarding the probability of the
wounds proving fatal. Although the man
and woman had slightly regained CON
sciousnoss, neither ono Of them would give
any details of what had led up to the shoot
ing or how 10 occurred.
Tho West Hobokon police believe that
Buret first shot his wife and then tried TO
kill himself.

standard order, yet its scenes, dialogu,
and climaxes are so strong as to elicit
admiration and favor from any audience
when as capably presented as it was by
this new organization of thespians
Henrietta and Louise were in the hands
of Kate Dalgleish and Genevieve Nam
nary. The former is a young, pretty
and graceful actress with a strong musi-
cal voice. and won favor Immediately.
Genevive Nannary as Louise, the
blind sister of He tia, won fresh
laurels for herself in her difficult and
tedious role. She has an originality
which attracts the mind into the spirit
of a play in which she appears. So
striking did this appear on Saturday
evening that the gallery, on more than
one occasion, seemed aroused with
sympathy for the poor blind girl, as if
the cruelties to which she was subjected
were real instead of part of the play. Miss
Nannary has male a happy beginning
at building upon a solid foundation of
popularity formerly attained.
Mortimer Shows difficult double of
Pierre and Chevaier de Vaudrey was
artistic, and both characters were i'm
bued with force and finish. Al. II.
Hallet made Jack as detestable a char
acter as one might wish, doubtless
reaching the authors conception. Kitty
Belmour's Marienne and Countess were
both finished portrayals, particularly
the latter, in which she excelled. As
Picard, Louis Belmour caused the risi
bles to relax and installed him
self favorite by carefully land
ing delicate yet unctuous hunior.
Mrs. DIR. McLennan scored an artistic
triumph as Frochard and showed she
had lost none of the genius she pos
sessed when she was known to the
theatrical world as Kate Armstrong.
p. a. Nannary's Count De Lenier was
ably handled, but a too hasty entrance
marred a strong climax. The minor
characters were capably handled, the
dressing correct and pretty, and the one
new scene displayed was good. The
mechanical attaches of the theatre ave
sadly in need OF experience and drilling,
and prevented what might have been
several curtain calls and made several
lengthy waits.
Tonight the balcony scene from
"Romeo and Juliet" will be presented,
with Miss Nannary as Juliet and Mr..
Snow as Romeo, followed by the three
act comedy "The Player" a modern
version of the celebrated David
Garrick.

Andrews as senior officer of the force,
and Captain Rosehill has in turn sue.
ceeded Parker. Captain Rosehill has
been succeeded in the Receiving Clerks
Office by Mr.. August Hammer, who has
Custom House.
The present arrangement is con-
sidered good one. Captain Parker
has proved himself competent, con-
scientious official and one wholly loyal to
the Government. His promotion was
deserved, and the department is safe in
his hands. Coptain Rosehill has an
established reputation for solidity,
bravery and tirmness. His succession
to the office OF police captain is a
worthy promotion and he will prove
himself in every way fitted for the
position. Rosehill has been identified
with the police department for several
years and has simply stepped into a
position in which he is at home
August Hammer is well known in

loyal and competent. As custom

MR.. ATHERT0N'S TALK.
HE BRINGS UP THE SUBJECT OF
PROHIBITION.
An idea to Combine with the Catholics
Against Saloons-Remarks by
Several Members.

There was very interesting meeting
of the Y. NJ. C. A. Sunday afternoon.
The subject for the evening was,
Strong Drink; Its Powers and Dan
GER" and it was ably introduced by Mr..
j. Il. Atherton. Mr.. Anterior recounted
the evils of intemperance and its dam
aging influence upon the United States
and other countries. He was pleased to
hear that the Catholic Church had en-
tered the fight against saloons, and
thought that its action would go long
way toward exterminating the liquor
traffic. However, it was fight for all
Christians, and he hoped every one.
irrespective of ere ed, would join with
the Catholics in the war.
Rev. H. W. Peck said that if Chris
tians were to unite against the liquor
traffic it would go down. In three
provinces in Canada Methodists, Pres
byterians and Baptists had Joined
together and carried them for piohibi-
ton. 1t could be done in the United
'ldtto anu HAWAII IL SHTlslltnS WOulu
come boldly into the conflict. They
should vote for men who were on the
side of temperance.
An adjutant of the Salvation Army
said that in his work they went down
into the depths and worked directly
upon the drunkard. They carried
brotherly love and the salvation of
Christ to him, and when once he re-
ceived the latter he was reformed and
a saved man. Though he was with any
movement calculated to check the traffic
in spirituous liquors he thought personal
work upon the drunkard effected more
good, and was the shortest way to reach
the desired end.
DIR. Whitney thought the strict en-
forcement of the laws, more especially
that relating to minors, was the correct
thing. He agreed with what had been
said and thought Christians should con-
tinue in the war against saloons. Ii one
could be closed it would be a great work.
Christians should vote as they prayed
and put only men in Office who were in
favor of temperance.
Mr.. c. b. Ripley blamed himself and
other Christians for the condition OF
things. 1t was within the power OF the
Chris ian world to close the saloons and
keep them closed. What was needed
was concerted action and he was i'm
favor of that union which would give
strength enough to accomplish the pur.
pose.
Mr.. Ripley was followed by Mr..
Corbett and others after who the
meeting adjoured.

RELIoLons TRIALs-oRDEALs.

There were ecclesiastical as well as
civil tribunals. The poi ical aud re-
ligirus systems being closely interviewer,
the jurisdiction OF the priests was not
confined to breeches OF the religious
taDoos, but was to some extent concur
rent with that of the Chiefs over civil
wrongs. The procedure, however, was
quite different. Their trials were by
ordeal and were of two kinds, ordeal by
fire and ordeal by water.
| One form of the water ordeal was the
"wai halulu," or shaking water. A
caabash of water was placed before the
suspected person. After prayer had
been Offered by a priest, the
accused was required to hold
both hands, with fingers spread
out, over the calabash, while the
priest closely watched the water. If it
shook the accused was guilty, otherwise
innocent. The shaking OF the wa er
may have been accomplished by slight
of hand, or perhaps the consciousness Of
his guilt made the culprit's hands shake
sufficiently to produce by reflection or
shadow n tremulous appearance in the
water.
Fire ordeal was often resorted to in
cases of theft, and was as follows: The
complainant first paid fee or costs
of court, usually pig. A fire was
kindled and three kukui nuts were
broken, one of which was thrown into
the fire. While it was burning, a priest
uttered a prayer. So with the other
nuts. one after the other. If the thief
appeared and made restitution of the
stolen property before all the nuts were
consumed, he was dismissed with a
heavy fine. Otherwise a proclamation
was made that the theft had been COM
mitted and that the thief was being
prayed to death. The thief then gem
orally pinned away and died, overcome
by superstitious fears that he was the
object of the wrath of the avenging
deity.
1t will be noticed that the trial by fire
ordeal might take place in the absence
of the suspected person or even without
"A suspicion against any person in par
ticular, the ordeal serving as both
detective and court; also, that both
forms of the Hawaiian ordeal were i'm
a measure based upon reason and JUS
tice. The ascertainment of the truth
depended upon, or at least might have
been left to, the operation of the
guilty conscience of the accused, and
the presumption was in favor of con-
science: while in most forms of ordeal,
rs found among other races, the bur
den of proof was upon the accused to
establish his innocence, and this could
he done in theory only, through the
miraculous interposition of Providence,
in practice only by chance or leger-
demain.
