Mr. Carletons comedy Is delightful In
its simplicity and truth. There are no
intricacles in the plot. 1t is just a plain
recital of the trials and tribulations of
ordinary people, brought about as they
might be in real life. OF course char
acters are somewhat overdrawn, and
scenes worked up for dramatic pur-
poses. but these liberties are necessary
to make stage production that will
have the necessary dash and go to
create interest and attract people to see
It.
John Drew, I'm the role of Frederick
Ossian. was very clever, especially in
the love scenes with Miss Adams.
There are those who assert that
Mr.. Drew shorne of his mustache and
unable longer to roll his eyes, would
find his occupation gone. but the dis
cerning critic sees I'm him ability as an
actor that arises far above what would
be required for mere posing, eye rolling
and moustache pulling.
There was no two opinions, however,
as to the work of Miss Maud Adams.
As Miriam she was sweet and womanly,
and so natural that one forgot she was
acting. Her work was the most enjoyable
of the evening performance; the one
that will longest lnger in the memory
of those who saw "The Butterflies"
Other very clever members of the
company We're Lewis Baker, Harry
Harwood, Arthur Byron, Anna Bel
mont and Virginia Buchanan.

HER ROSARY by HER SIDE.
Miss Lizzie Duggnu Found Dead in W. J
Battin's Residence.

Battln'S Residence.
Miss Lizzie Duggan, an unmarried
woman about SO years of age, met a
strange death at the residence of w.
j. Battin, at 724 Olive street, Saturday
morning, being asphyxiated by illum-
| ating gas.
Miss Duggan was in the best of health
on Friday and retired at the usual hour.
On Saturday morning Il nurse called
her at $50 O'Clock, and found the door
locked and a strong odor of gas pre-
vailing in the corridor. Receiving no
answer. she informed Mr.. Battin, who
forced open the door and found Miss
Duggan lying dead on the bed and the
gas turned fun on. With the eXcep-
tion of her shoes, she was fully dressed
and had been dead many hours. DR..
j. l.. Wentz was Immediately called,
and pronounced that life had been ex-
tinct for five hours.
The death is thought to be purely ac-
cidental. as there was nothing in her
life to indicate any disturbing element.
She was an unusually devout woman
and punctilious in the discharge of her
religious duties. The only reasonable
cSpidndllOn given WIS 'ildt niiSo buS
gan turned Off the gas preparatory to
saying her prayers. and that her
sleeves, which were large and flowing,
must have caught the stop cock and
turned on the gas without her knowl-
edge. Falling asleep while saying her
prayers, it is probable that she subse-
quently awoke and fell on the bed, over
come by the escaping gas. Her rosary
was found beside her on the bed.
Her mother and sister live at Peters,
burg, in the Tenth ward. and the re-
mains were taken there on Saturday
morning. Coroner Kelley empanelled
the following jury: w. A. Raub, +. j..
McAndrew. f. w. Edwards. A. Il. Law
renee. d. j. Moriarty and G. A. Kays,
and an adjourned inquest will he held
this morning at 10 o'clock.

WEISS TERRIBLE FALL.
Dropped Eighty Feet in the New Hotel
Jcrmyn and Died.

CnarleS weiss, VINO nau Deen EN-
ployed as q carpenter by Contractor
Schroeder at the new Hotel Jermyn,
fell from the fifth story, where he had
been working, at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, and he whirled downward
through space into the cellar beneath,
sustaining fatal injuries. The Lacka-
wanna hospital ambulance was sum-
moned and he died at that institution
two hours later, without regaining
consciousness.
The unfortunate carpenter was as
sisting in placing a temporary flooring
on the fifth story. Heavy planks were
being used for that purpose. There
We're two stout ropes reaching from the
floor above to the ground, and one was
securely fastened and used by the men
as help in crossing from one beam to
the other. The other rope was used in
hosting the planks from the ground.
1t was not attached to any of the
beams above, but was coiled on the
floor.
Missed the Rope.
Weiss walked to the edge of the tenn
porary planking and reached out to
catch the rope for support. He made
the fatal mistake of clutching the
wrong rope and he lost his balance and
went headlong down the area, His
body squirmed and twisted in the de-
scent and struck on large plank on
the first floor. The force of the fall
snapped the plank in two, and the OBJ
struction scarcely impeded the swift
ness of the fall. Weiss struck on a
heap of broken stone and wood in the
cellar and the height of his awful
tumble was about eighty feet.
Help was quickly at hand and he was
removed to the first floor. Drs. Long
street and Hayes responded and rem
dered medical assistance. Weiss mur-
INJURED family and that is all the sign
of consciousness exhibited after the
fall. At the hospital his injuries were
examined and found to be fatal. His
left arm was broken and five of his
ribs. one of them piercing the left lung
The deceased was "a years of age
and came here from Hoboken. He
boarded with John Weisenfluh, on Lu-
zerne street.
Third Accident on Building.
This is the third accident in the way
of falling from the hotel since the work
of construction began. The first man
was not injured; he struck on an iron
rod, which he caught and saved him
self from probable death. The second
event was the plunge Of "Rigger" Jor-
dan, who escaped death, but is now a
demented inmate of the insane asylum
at the Hillside Home.
Coroner Kelley empanelled the follow
ing jury: =. Fl. Gilgallon, b. f. Squiers

quest will be held Thursday night in the

the morgue at the Lackawanna hos
pital and 1t will be taken to Hoboken
for interment.
