THEY WON $4,000.

There is not a happier quintet in the pros
porous city of Hoboken, it is safe to say,
than the five lucky men upon whom the
tickle goddess bestowed the first prize of $780,
900 in the April drawing of the Honduras
National Lottery Company Louisiana State
Lottery Coz, now at Puerto Cortez, Hon
duras, G. A.
1t was last fall when Mr.. Oscar Hanger, a
newsdealer, who resides at No. 704 Garden
street. Hoboken, induced four friends to join
him in purchasing a lottery ticket. Each of
the men paid one dollar, and as the drawing
took place monthly, the men continued
purchasing a SIS ticket, until in the April
drawing the lucky number u, 121, won the
SIS. 900 prize, the number held by the lucky
.HobokeniteS.
The news of the happy occurrence spread
rapidly, and shortly after a reporter visited
b elucky winners, who are mostly Germans,
to get an interview in respect to their plans.
Oscar Hanger was first seen. He lives IN a
modest little house, No. 704 Garden street,
Hoboken.
SWELL" said Mr.. Hanger, who is q man Of
about forty-eight years of age, Il guess l
can make good use of the money l have
made a good living as newsdealer for the
last twenty-five years, and do not intend
to give up my business altogether. b
money I shall invest in real estate. l think
it safest nowadays.
John r. Henchy, the second participant In
the $75, 900 prize, is one of the proprietors of
the Hoboken Eoening Ne,cs, a very active
and prosperous newspaper.
The reporter found him in his cozy little
residence, No. 1907 Bloomfield street, 81 am
quite a young man yet" said Mr.. Henchy.
who is about t~hirty-fve years of age, 'sand |
think this is a chance to be used to the best
advantage. The Lottery Company paid the
money promptly and without making any
reductions. In fact, ! have not come TO any
conclusions yet now to invest the money. |
will certainly work along for the News as If
I had never played"
The other parties interesting are Albert
Albert Kieselbach, a-barber, residing at
No. 504 Washington street, Harry Mat
thews, a compositor on the Euening News
and Mr.. Louis Piser, of No. 81 Willow ave
nue..
The money has been divided, each of the
parties receiving $4,000 as his share. They
are all industrious. sober men, and no doubt
the possession of so large an amount of
money will not be of any danger to them.

RAILROAD AND MAN TO BLAME

Verdict of Coroner VoIik,s Jury in
the Case of ID. McCauley.
A Coroner's inquest was held last evening
at Orient Hall over the death of Daniel Nc
Cauley. who resided at No. 169 Clerk street.
Mr.. McCauley met his death on May 4 last;
while crossing the tracks OF the Central
Railroad of New jersey at Randolph avenue
near the Arlington avenue station, on his
way home to dinner. Coroner Anthony j..
Volk presided. The jury consisted of
A. n. Spooner, eoreman) Chas. Kraft,
David Bowen, Peter Glanzman, J. y.
Carlock. John Howe. VIM, Freeland. Geo. L.
Gordon, Sam1 Hall, Rob't Duncan al, SamI
Koerzy and John Horribly.
The first witness called was Edward Hoff,
engineer of the locomotive. Mr.. HoH said
he ran the twelve O'Clock train from New
York. While nearing Arlington avenue
station he saw a man about fifty or sixty
feet away walking eastward toward the
track. He blew his warning whistle, but
the, man stopped, got bewildel ed,
and started TO cross right in front of the
engine. He either tripped or fell across the
track. He said the tracks were clear
there was nothing to obstruct the view OF
the deceased and the train was clearly in
sight.
Other witnesses gave similar testimonies,
but differed on the blowing of the whistle
and the clearness of the track. They were:
Annie Murray, hrs. Dickinson, w. H.
Lawrence, w. Il. Hopper, G.. D. Schooner,
Ernst Kass, Thomas Gilbert and j. L.
Soden. After a. lengthy consultation
the jury rendered the following verdict
ssThat Daniel McCauley came to his death
by accident, caused partly by the negligence
Of the C. R. R. of N. J. in not properly pro
tecting a public t~horoughfare with flag
man, gates, bell, or otherwise, and partially
by his own negligence in not having taken
proper p~recaution in crossing a railroad"

DAILY urged him to hold it over until Mon
day, so that people interested In its defeat
could come before the committee and show
why it should not pass. Senator Ketcham
went TO Mr.. Stokes n asked him to let the
bill come out, saying that it was o party
measure. and it ought to be passed by re-
publicans. When asked how it was a party
measure, Mr.. Ketcham replied that O large
number OF the citizens of Orange had called
upon him and urged him to pass the bill. lie
promised Mr.. Stokes if he would report the
bill he would not insist upon its passage, put
would let it go over until Monday.
PASSED BY A TRICK. !.
This was communicated to Mr.. Daly ana
he was satisfied. He was very much sur
prised, therefore, when, after the bill was re-
ported, Mr.. Ketcham insisted upon Its going
through. even going SO far as forcing q mo-
ton to suspend the rules. When called 20
account for his peculiar action Mr.. ketcnaln
made the lame excuse hat when he saw ne
mad two democrats with him be Thought IL
better to force the passage of the Dill tnan 20
jeopardize its safety by delay.
Mr.. DAILY introduced q measure at the
afternoon session which provides That no con-
sents obtained from property owners Tor une
laying of street railway tracks before the
first day of May, 1894, shall be valid for
action by any governing boards OF towns,
cities, boroughs, etc.
This bill was advanced to second reading
without being printed by unanimous con-
sent.
This was done in order to overcome the
advantage over the city OF Hoboken which
the Rutherford Company secured by the

VICTORIOUS VIGILANTS.
The Team Braced Up and Won Two
Games In the Tourney.

The Team Braced UP and Won Two
Cannes In the Tourney.
The Vigilants braced up last night and
won two games in the tournament at Guests
alleys. It is rather late for the team to
begin winning, as they seem to be too far
behind to reach the top Of the list. 1t had
won only two games prior to last evening,
and the Pioneers, who are in front, have
nine victories on their sheet. The Vtgilants'
squirt has brought them up close to the Ger
manias, who dropped two games, and they
are only one behind. Burns of the Ger
manias IS still bowling high and leads in the
average score.
The opening game last night brought the
Vigilants and Germanias together. The
latter bowled well, but their rivals had at
last put on their bowling armor and went
over the eight hundred line. They had no
.scinch" even with the big score, as the game
was not ended until the last ball was rolled.
The Vigilants won by a dozen pins. The

interesting as the time for rolling the closing
games approaches. On Tuesday. Kirner and
Dickson, who were in thel lead, were defeated
by the 'dead easy shad" team, O'Halleron

class order, and a number of remarkable
scores were made. William Perry, second,
207 pins in the first game. and III the nrsI
e M of the third series, fell but 3 short OF
the two hundred mark.
