The passengers on one of the cars of
the Pennsylvania train which left Mar
ket street, Newark, at 9:15 o'clock this
morning were shocked by the sudden

was crossing Newark avenue, when an
Italian, who was sitting in seat near
the rear door, jumped up and began to
wiring his hands and moan The wom-
an remained in her seat and paid no
attention to the man. Seeing his evident
distress, several of the passengers APP
preached him and asked him what the
trouble was. He replied in Italian and
pointed to the woman. A close look at
her hsowed that she was dead. The
man could speak no English, and when
the train arrived at Jersey City an in
terpreter was secured. Through him it
was learned that the woman was Rose

MR.. OODER WAS SHOCKED.
Wants Receiver Because His
Partner SWore.

Vice Chancellor Pitney in Chancery
Chambers, this morning heard the pecu-
liar case in which James Coder seeks the
dissolution of the firm of Morris &
Coder, which owns a planning mill at VIII
low avenue and Newark street, Hoboken,
| because his partner, August L. Morris,
uses profane language Mr.. Coder is
religiously inclined any anything like an
oath CRATES on his nerves. His partner
on the contrary finds it difficult to express
his feelings without the frequent inter-
lection of .cuss" words. The partners
are unlike in appearance as they are in
disposition Mr. Coder is small and
slender, while Mr.. Morris is of power
full build and possesses great strength.
The two went into partnership on July
1, 1895. For a while the got on well to-
gether and did a prosperous business.
For over year, Mr.. Coder sets forth in
his petition, everything went along
smoothly and his partner repressed any
inclination he might have had to use pro-
fame language in the mill or lose his
temper.
Within the last few months, however,
things have changed for the worse Mr.
Coder, through his counsel, Marshall van
Wrinkle, says, in his petition 'Wlthln
the past eight months said August l..
Morris, who has an irascible, irritable
and violent disposition, has insulted and
sworn at your orator almost daily, ana
has frequently humiliated your orator IN
the presence of customers and employees,
and on many occasions has threatened to
do your orator bodily harm and injury.
Said August L. Morris has shaken
isboth hands at your orator and IN louo

LONDON. Aug. 9, 1897.-On the Stock
Exchange here today Spanish securities
fell " point on the news of the assassina-
ton of the Premier, Senor Canovas del
Castillo.
The afternoon newspaper, in their COM
ments upon the assassination of the
Spanish Prime Minister. express them
selves on the same lines as the morning
papers, remarking upon the incompre-
hensible idiocy of the murder of the man
who was mainly responsible for giving
universal suffrage to Spain. They also
advocate the suppression of anarchism
by force, pointing out that the history of
Nihilism in Russia proves that force con-
sistently and steadily applied is the
remedy for clearing out the pestilent
gang. The st James Gazette regards
the death of Senior Canovas del Castillo
as being heavy disaster for Spain.
adding
s''Canovas was not great; but he was a
statesman. During the Cuban crisis he
governed with energy, and if he had been
a very great man he might have told his
countrymen that they must alter their
ways of dealing with the colonies or be
prepared for evil times. But the Spaniards
would hardly listen to such a lesson even
from the tongue of an angel. Maybe, if
he had the choice, Canovas would have
preferred the martyrdom which has over
taken him rather than to have lived to
see the collapse which is once more
threatening Spain. In the meantime. the
murder Will destroy the already unstable
administration and in the pick of a sue
cessor of the late Premier the Queen
Regents position is most difficult. She
may be driven to call upon some soldier,

misfortune to Spain abroad. The crime
must have one consequence-to make the
