Otto H, Krause Stock Company Open
ed Their Engagement Here toa
Very Full House.

Last night the above company
appeared before the foot-lights to
the best numerical house of the
season. The gallery was also chock-
ed up. The play was the "Inside
Track, " introducing twelve charac-
ters on the stage during the play.
The piece was interesting from
beginning to finish and was con-
structed by the playwright in a
way to allow no room for sticks"
with the exception of the "billy" of
the policeman, The company we
pronounce as a strong one, and we
think they deserve good houses
while here, Mr., Taylor is a star
favorite here, having appeared be-
fore the footlights on former
occasions, and his entrance on the
stage called for an outburst of APP
plause.
Miss Kitty Berry, to our way of
thinking, did the cleverest piece of
acting, as Jim's wife, we have seen
on any stage, and Jim her husband,
as portrayed by Otto H. Krause
was, fully up to the characters de-
mand. Gertie Ewing as Jerry
Twaddle, made an ideal street
urchin and her acting was very good
OF course the william had to be put
in competent hands and Charles

BATHING IN GREAT CITIES.

An eminent french authority on mat
tiers municipal. DR.. Paul Brousse, con-
ends that Paris is amongst the worst
served of great cities in respect to baths.
There are in Paris, he says, only 200
bathing places for a population of 2, AGO.
900 souls, or one bath for every u, 900 per-
sons. Paris daily for private
inc public purposes about $50, 900 metres
cubic of water. Ancient Roase had 1856
public baths, and use in them
100000 metres per day. The prin-
cipal German t~owns-Munich, Nu-
remberg, Altoona, O~snabruck, Frank
fort, Cassel, Wurzburg, Braunsch-
weig, L~eipsig-have all established good
bathing places in their public schools, and
many of the English municipalities have
municipal baths. NJ. Louis Mason, one
of the Paris health inspectors, recently
service had been organized in the work
ing-classes quarter of Mondscheingasse.
The price charged is a penny farthing per
person, a farthing extra for soap, but
nothing extra for towels, etc. The same
authority reported that the Berlin Mu-
nicipal Council granted 1851 600 marks for
a charitable concern, which gave excel
lent bathing facilities for sums ranging
from a penny farthing (soap and towels
included) to about .threepence, according
to the nature of the bath. In London a
cold bath can be got for q penny, and a
warm one for about twopence. In Paris
where bathing is catered for by the pri-
a working-class quarter, get a bath for
less than ~fourpence, whilst even a Seine
bath costs ~threepence, beside a penny tip
to the Observation-Disclosures Press.

Jury Hands in a Verdict
Against the Traction
Company.
BOY WAS INSTANTLY KILLED.
Traction Company Put in No De.
fsnce-oar Going
Fast.

On the night Of November 12, 1894, Jay ia
Cooper, aged %, was struck by a trolley car
at the corner of Monticello and Jewett ave-
nues and instantly killed. Mr.. Cooper was
on his way home and alighted from a north
bound car at Jewett avenue. He stepped
behind the car to cross the street and was
struck by a southbound car and his brains
knocked out. It was coming so rapidly that
he could not get out of the way.
Andrew jackson, of No. 4 Oakland ave-
nue., was appointed administrator of Mr..
Cooper's estate. He brought suit against the
Consolidated Traction Company for 5000
damages. The case was tried before Judge
Lippincott and a jury in the Circuit Court
this morning. Mr. John Linn appeared for
the plaintiff and Warren Dixon for the COM
pany.
Cooper was a clerk and earned $12 a week.
He was the sole support of his father and
mother. the father being helpless from
rheumatism. In opening Mr.. Linn said that
the company was guilty of negligence in not
stopping the south-bound car when the mo-
torman saw that the north-bound car had
stopped.
The first witness called was George 81.
White, the druggist. He was a passenger on
the car that struck Mr.. Cooper. He testi-
fed that the car was going moderately fast,
and was positive nat there was no Stacking
of speed before the car struck Cooper. He
felt a sudden jarring. as if the car had struck
some heavy object. He saw the other car
moving away. When the car stopped Mr..
White got off and found Cooper's body lying
between the tracks. A short distance from
the body he found the brains OF the victim
lying on the ground.
THE CAR WAS GOING FAST.
Henry c.. Alderman, conductor of the car
that struck Cooper, testified that the car was
going at a pretty good speed" Arthur
Houston and George H. Miranda, passengers
on the car that Cooper alighted from, said
that the south bound car passed them just
after Cooper had jumped off. Edward J..
Rogers, a passenger on the car that struck
Cooper, was sure that it did not slow up.
Mrs. Harriet L. Cooper, the mother OF the
young man, testified as to his being her sole
support.
COMPANY OFFER NO DEFENSE.
This ended the evidence for the plaintiff,
and Mr.. Dixon moved for a nonsuit on the
ground that Cooper had been guilty of con-
tributory negligence. and that no negli-
gence on the part OIL the ompany had Deen
shown. The motion was denied, and Mr..
Dixon then requested the court to direct the
Jury to render a verdict in favor of the COM
pany. This was also denied and exceptions
granted. Mr.. Dixon then said that the de-
tense would call no witnesses. Neither
would he sum up. Mr.. Linn summed up
very briefly. His parents were entitled to
sufficient damages for the loss Of their means
Of support, although no amount of money
could bring back their son.
Judge Lippincott charged the jury at
some length, carefully explaining the law
and the rights of pedestrians to cross the
streets.
The jury rendered a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for the full amount.

has taken to INDUCING in q nightly walk
in the vicinity of q local brickyard. The
figure is a dark one, and it carries an UNI
brella, and it is stated that it approaches
close to people and then suddenly disap-
pears into thin air. So great an effect
has the story had upon III Villagers that
they are all afraid to go out after dusk,
and the Dad is entirely deserted. The
rude forefathers of the hamlet In con-
ference, nave come to the conclusion thai
the ghost is but some one trying to
brighten the people, and as a consequence
a letter has been addressed to this ghost
through the medium of q Southampton
paper. The writer, having stated the an
tics in which the ghost engages, adds
that it was seen at Ashhurst Bridge last
evening at GAS P. NJ, by a woman whose

those poor men in Kansas who have been
