New York. May 7.--Today's market for
stocks continued extremely narrow and
to the last degree professional, with moth

totally inactive during the day, the large

trlbuted among a few stocks. The total

ST. PAUL's CHURCH THEsPIANs
"A Celebrated Case" Given Excel

Isntly by Amateurs I'm G~rAenvfiIe.
After two months of careful ~rehearsing
under the direction of Father Reilly. the
young people of st. Paul's Catholic Club
presented the play. "A Celebrated Case
1t was more than successful, for the hall
was filled to overlooking. and the audience
was very liberal in its applause. The
young people all did well in their respec-
tive parts, and the play went off without a
hitch. The costumes and scenery were
beautiful. The play is too we'll known to
be described. The characters are all
French. and therefore credit must be CIV
en- to the young people for the excellent
way in which the play was given.
The play, which is of four acts, is pre-
ceded by a prologue in two scenes. The
first shows the home of Jean Renaud, a
French soldier, where he is supposed to
kill his wife. The second scene of the
prologue shows the guards camp near
main camp of the French army, Here
enaud is accused of killing his wife, and
is sentenced to the galleys for life. Act
| of the play is the park of the Chateau
dAubeterre Toulon, France. This is sup
posed to be twelve years later. Acts II,
III, and ", show the salon in Chateau
d'Aubeterrre, and are filled with excite
ment. Finally Jean Remand is cleared
from the crime of killing his wife by a
necklace with a locket attached, which
was traced to Lazare, a camp follower,
who is arrested and charged with the
crime, for which he afterwards pays the
penalty and all ends happy.
The acting of Mr.. George Reilly as Jean
Renaud and of Miss Nellie Losey as his
daughter was very good. Miss Kate
Walsh as Jean Renaud's wife in the pro-
logue. was also creditaDle.
The rest of the cast was made up as fol-
lows:-Characters in the prologue: Count
d'Aubeterre, commanding Kings Own
Regiment, Mr.. Eugene Donovan; Lazare,
a camp follower, Mr.. Harry j. Walsh;

TWO YOUTHFUL THIEVES.
Held fer n Higher Court and Recom-
mended for Reform SchOoI.

Two youthful thieves were arraigned
before Justice Nevin in the First Criminal
Court this morning and were held for the
higher court, which will be recommended
to send them to the Reform School.
The incorrigibles are Jonn Monahan. of
No. 400 Grove street, and Frank More
head, of No. 179 Third street. Neither
boy is over nine years old. They stole a
suit of clothes from the store of Sarah
Levi, No. $50 First street, yesterday af-
ternoon. Monahan is leader of a gang of
young thieves. He has been arrested
three times for %thieving, and has just
completed a sentence of sixty days in the
County Jail. The other boy is a tyro in
crime. Monahan took his arrest coolly,
while the Morehead boy wept and begged
to be set free.

SIMPSONS INGENIOUS DEFENCE.
A Jury Without Sense of Humor
CoDvlcts His Clients Of Assault.

John Henry, a brother of Constable
William Henry, of Gutenberg, attended
a picnic on the night of August q and
started for home about three A. M. On
the way he stopped somewhere and
bought a bologna sausage. Just as he
was preparing to regale himself with it
he met John H. Mcguire, John H. Fisher,
Frank B. Smith and John j. Egan, four
Gutenberg toughs. They were sitting on
a stoop probably waiting for some victim
to come along.
AS Henry approached one of the gang
asked him what he had and he replied
thai he had a bologna. He was asked for
a piece of it and handed the sausage over.
The gang divided the sausage up, leaving
a very small piece for Henry. In a sar-
castle way Henry asked them why they
didn't eat all the sausage.
It'll eat you," one of them said, and
the gang proceeded to do Henry up.
They knocked him down and kicked and
beat him into insensibility. He recovered
consciousness about half an hour after
ward and made his way home. Henry
was laid up for three weeks and it was
thought for a time that his life was in
danger.
MCGUIRE, Fisher and Smith were tried
in the General Sessions Court yesterday
afternoon. Egan has made his escape,
and according to the testimony of the
defendants yesterday Egan is the man
who did it all. Lawyer Alexander Simp-
son, who appeared for the defence, as
sured the jury that the defendants were
willing to admit that Egan did it. Smith
was on top of Henry when he was lying
on the ground, but that was only to pro-
tect him from Egan. While Smith was
protecting Henry in that unique manner,
Henry Smith said was so unappreciative
of his kind offices that he tried to bite
him. The evidence for the State showed
that all four of the ~ruffians took part in
the brutal assault on Henry and the three
on trial were convicted. Henry has not
recovered yet and probably never will
fully recover from his injuries.

FOWLER Will ACCEPT
Says He Must Not Be
Interfered With in
the Engineering
Bureau.
CHANGE DECIDED MONTHS AGO
Office Hitherto Hampered by Poll
ticians -Sketch Of the
New Chief.

Mr.. Lucien Dennis Fowler, who was APP
pointed chief of the Engineering Bureau
of Jersey City yesterday in place of w.
w. Ruggles, has not yet decided whether
he will accept the office, although his
friends say he will accept. F1e said this
morning.
II can only take that position on certain
conditions which 1 have not yet discussed
with the Street and Water Board. OF
course it would be manifestly improper
for me to say, or ever him they
are.'
1t is understood that MI. Fowler wishes
to avoid what the late Chief Engineer
Ruggles had to contend with, and that
was the interference in his office by polit-
ical changes. People, because of party
services, were put into the bureau IRE
spective of their merit or usefulness IN
that capacity. Mr.. Fowler, it is said, Will
He thinks that he ought to have full
control of his staff on the principle that
the commissioners may remove MIN Wnen
with him.
1t has long been known that there
would come a change in the bureau.
When the present board was elected Mr..
Ruggles only retained his office by what
one Commissioner termed 1.-THE skin of his
teeth" The movement of yesterday was
uol as oHe lOCdl yeLOW Jouludi SidihuS u
it's doing.
Mr.. Fowler, who has been promoted
from the office of Clerk to the Commits
sioners of Adjustment, is a native of Nor
~risville, Madison county, n. z, where he
was born on August. lS4S. He is, there
fore, 40 years of age. After attending the
public schools he enlisted in Company e,
First Regiment, low Cavalry, as a pri-
yate. Soon afterwards he was made an
orderly, and served on regimental ana
brigade staffs. He gained an honorable
discharge in 1866. Mr.. Fowler at the close
of the war went, to T~itusville, Pa. the
centr of the oil regions of that State,
and remained there some time. A few
years later he came to Jersey City and
studied civil engineering with the late /.
B. Culver, for whom he made many sur
veys.
He entered the Bureau of Engineering
of this city in 1872, and he has been in
that Office ever since, and his services in
that position have been extensively valu-
able TO the city. He is a member of sew
eral friendly societies, such as the Royal
Arcanum and Loyal Additional Benefit.
Van Houton Post, G.. A. R., also numbers
him as a conlrade. Mr.. Fowler married
many years ago Miss Laura E.. Smith of
Richview, ILL.,, and they lave lac three
children, one of which is dead. He re-
sides at No. 81 Clifton place.
