STOCKTON, May %. 1Ss6.-while trying
to stop a runaway horse shortly after
four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Frank
Slamm, aged SIS years, a tollgate keeper
or the Moorestown Pike, was probably
fatally injured. A horse and wagon be-
longing to Benjamin Hewitt, a ~-1r,
was standing at the corner of Thirty-fifgh
and Federal streets when the animal be-
came frightened at a passing trolley ear.
The horse started down the road to-
ward the tollgate at breakneck speed,
crashing the wagon to pieces as it neared
the tollgate.
Slimm saw the animal coming. He
thought he could stop it by letting the
beam fall across the road. He did so,
but the a broke the plank. like a
straw and plunged on the man who was
behind the gate. Slimm was knocked
down by the horse and trampled on.
The injured mar was taken to the office
of a physician, where it was found that
his skull was crushed and it required
twenty-eight stitches to sew up the
gashes. His chest was crushed and he
was so injured Internally that the physic-
ian said hat he canno recover. The
horse was finally captured after an ex-
citing chase and seemed none the worse
for the eScdpade.

was without exception the largest benefit
ever given to anyone in this county and
was by far the finest vaudeville show
ever put upon any stage in this vicinity.
The audience, which was composed OF
the fashion of Jersey City and Hoboken,
filed the boxes, the orchestra and bal
eony to such an extent that before eight
o'clock desirable seats were at a high
premium. Much of the success of the
evenings entertainment was due the ex-
celent manner which Mr.. Joseph Allen
of the Charles Frchman Company, man
ance going. The feature of the even
ing. perhaps. was the APPEARANCE Of the
regular army band from Governors
Island, under the leadership of Band
master Otto Prasser. The attractive
blue and white uniform of the men.
their erect soldier bearing and the spick
and span condition of their instruments
won fer them hearty applause before they
struck a note.
They began their part OF the enter
tainment by playing the Star Spangled
Banner in a manner which made the
StoO0 " every <AileilCdu WHO ledlNe tiicIl
flow quicker. Then they played "Semper
Fidelis." The Remembrance of a Vet
eran" followed, in which an engagement
was described from reveille to taps.
Many old familiar war songs were played
and when they had finished everyone in
the audience deeply regretted the rule
which allowed no encores. The emaind
of the show was the cream of the vaude-
Vile stage. Every performer was an
artist and everyone did his best. From
eight until half-past twelve o'clock the
performers followed each other in rapid
succession and even then not more than
one-half of those who had volunteered
to testify by their appearance to the
deep affection which the profession has
for Mr.. Black. had been able to go
on The large array of talent and the
rowde house demonstrated most elo-
quently the great popularity which Mr..
Black enjoys both with the public and the
people of the stage. If that gentleman
holds his head a little higher today and
walks a little more lofty no one can
blame him, for it is seldom that the
manages of any theatre has such a spon-
taneous and heartfelt ovation rendered
him.
