ANGRY CASINO GIRLS.
They Say Their Manager HAS Skipped
with Their Money.


The members of the casino Girls I"
Company, who We're playing at the
Germania Theatre, Hoboken, last week.
created a scene in front of the theatre
Saturday night, when they were told
that Manager Morrill, had decamped
with all the funds of the company, and
that they would have to wait awhile for
their wages. The girls shouted and
swore, threatened all kinds Of trouble
to both the theatre and Morrill,. and
promised each other that if they ever
laid their hands upon Morrill, they
would not leave a hair or a tooth in
his head
Some of the girls claimed he owed
them as much as S11S, while others only
claimed $50.
Business Manager Hoffman,, however,
denies that Morrill, has skipped, and
says that the company does not really
eve the girls d cent.
''It is true he said, that we didn' t
pay the girls any money Saturday, but
it was not because we did not have it.
Their week is not up until Wednesday
morning, and when Wednesday comes
thew shall receive every penny. due them.
As to our owing some of them $llS. it
is preposterous; we do not owe them
more than a weeks salary, and that is
only because they request US to Keep
it for them.
"I would like to know who started
the rumor that Mr. Morrill, had skipped.
He has only gone away for the hol-
days"
Despite what Mr.. Hoffman, says, the
girls are suspicious, as the company is
not booked any where this week and
when that occurs they are generally
paid on Saturdays II the money due
them is not forthcoming Wednesday
morning the girls will take out an at
tachment upon Morrilfs s property, which
consists chiefly Of costumes.

SUING BIG MEN.
Creditors Accuse the Old Horse show
Receivers of Neglect.

Counsellor Robert Carey of this city
has filed a petition in Chancery charg-
ing the receivers of the United States
Horse and Cattle Show Society with
wilful, absolute and continued neglect.
The receivers who were also directors
of the society are rather distinguished
citizens. They are ex-Secretary of the
Navy William G. Whitney, Theodore A.
Havemeyer, Prescott Lawrence, Thomas
N Terry, Francis T. Underhill, Rush S.
Heidekoper, George Green, Reginald w.
Rives, Colonel William Jay, James T.
HYDE. T. Suffern Taller and John G.
Beresford.
The society ~as incorporated under
the laws of this State with capital
stock of $4,000, and it was the intention
of the directors to hold shows every
spring and fall at Manhattan Field. For
this purpose the field was leased for
five years. The first show in 1892 being
financial failure, the directors lost in
terest. Thomas L. Hamilton, who was
defeated for Sheriff in New York few
years ago, erected the necessary build
ings at a cost of s5s,eo0. Having received
only $4,000, he has retained Counsellor
Carey to protect his interests, and testi-
nony will shortly be taken before the
referee, ex-Judge Garrick The receiv-
ers will be called to task for alleged
neglect and omissions in failing to file
report with the Chancellor as ordered
In his petition Mr. Hamilton sets
forth that the value of the lease was lost
by the neglect of the receivers.
City Attorney Spencer Weart has been
retained to represent the receivers. The
receivers were requested to furnish a
