An Object Lesson In Trolley Ex-
pansion.

1t looks as though Elizabeth had killed
ahe goose that was ready to lay the golden
eeg for her. For some time past the
merchants and citizens of that city have
been clamoring for a trolley road which
would connect with the populous towns
and villages which lie to the westward
toward Plainfejd. The merchants were
sure that If they could only get such a
road built, the population Of those towns
and villages would crowd into Elizabeth
to do their shopping and purchase their
supplies. h era Of prosperity which
that state Of affairs would bring to Eliza
beth has for a long time formed the fay-
orite theme for the newspapers Of that
city and exhausted the editors supply OF
rhetoric.
Finally a company came along which
undertook to supply this long felt want
Of Elizabeth. 1t constructed a road from
Westheld to the city line, with the inten-
ton OF connecting with the system al
ready existing in the city. But, when
the compan applied to the Common
Council for a franchise allowing it 10
enter the city, up rose a number of those
rabid, a-nti-corporation men, who think
that a trolley road Is a mint and that
the capitalists who build 1t are entitled to
no consideration from the public. These

Of Music.

The Academy of Music will doubtless be
crowded this evening to witness the in
auguration of "A Stranger in a Strange
Land in this city. Elegant souvenirs Will
be presented to every lady tonight. This
Is the same play that has for weeks
been scoring a great success at the Man
haitian Theatre, New York. 1t comes di-
rect from the metropolis, under the guild
ance of Managers VIM. A. Brady and Jos.
r. Grismer, who present it with complete
scenic environments, the same surperb
cast who has aided materially in its sue
cess for months, and all the effects that
go to make up a perfect production. The
play is the product of Sidney Wilmer and
Walter Vincent, and demonstrates that
these gentlemen viii soon take rank
among the foremost of American play
wrights. The cast includes Geo. Os-
bourne, Cyril Scott. M, A Kennedy, Wal
ter Clifford, Ed. Chapman, Jas. T. Gallo
way, Maud White, Kate Lester, Angela
McCaull, Katherine Mulkins, Iona Cham
berlain end others. The scene of the play
is laid in England, the plot telling of a
young man, sent to America with the
hope of his relatives that a tittle bit Of
"roughing 1t" will settle him in his hab-
its. He pretends to have purchased q
cattle ranch near Buffalo, and IN order to
verify his story, when he returns home,
induces a young friend to impersonate an
Indian. His uncle discovers the deception
and desiring to aid the nephew. obtains a
s~imorl-pure Indian from a patent medi-
cine fakir and when the counterfeit arti-
Gle and the genuine meet the complica-
lions begin. The play is said to be n
great laugh, from beginning to end. In
addition to the regular Wednesday and
Saturday matinees there will be an extra
matinee Thursday, Thanksgiving Day.
There will be no advance in the prices.

SPONGALE IS 4
 BAD CHARACTER Medical Director of Agnews Asylum in Hot Water. HIS CRIMES ARE NUMEROUS Among the Acts Imputed to Him Are Murder and Fraud d-Suspicions
 of His Relations With a
 Female Patient
 
HIS CRIMES ARE NUMEROUS

San Francisco. August 2.LThe state teddy to hear the report of Governor Gage on the result of the investigations of the board into the conditions existing at the Agnews asylum for tine insane, situated near San Jose.
 Governor Cages report is doubtless one of the most startling papers of its kind ever presented to a similar board for its considera ton. It is based principally on the career of Dr. F. M. Sponagle, medi- cal director of the asylum, previous to his installation as such As a result of the investigation pr. Sponagle and two of his assistants, Drs Stocking and Cristal, have been summariy removed. the assistants not being charged with anything more grave than incompetency.
 The investigation of affairs at Agnews was the direct result of the birth of a child to one of the patients. Sensational charges were made and the investigation followed. Governor Gage included in his report the testimony of reputable people, tending to show that Sponagle's career was one of gross immortality and crime. Governor Gage asserts that in 1892, while Sponagle was a resident of Fresno, in this state, he was accused of trying to defraud Phila- delphia insurance company whose medical examiner he was, out of $10000. with the assistance of a Mrs. Skinner, whose hus- band was dying with consumption. The insurance company investigated and sue ceeded in getting confession from Mrs Skinner, showing that a conspiracy ex- isted. The matter was dropped on Mrs Skinners promise to turn states evidence if necessary. Governor Gage further as- serts that Dr. Sponagle was also accused at one time of having murdered Mr. Thurman, to whom he owed money.
 The report of the governor is of such character that it is unprintable, but shows Sponagle up in even a worse light than the foregoing The lunacy commissioners adopted the report and ordered the dis mssal of Sponage, Stocking and Cristal Dr. J. H. Crane, of Santa Ana, was ap- pointed to succeed Sponagle.

ROOT RETURNS
 TO WASHINGTON
Declines to Talk of His Confer
 ence With Mckinley.
CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO
Everything Possible Being Done to Al leviate the Suferings-The Score tary Gratifed Over Response
 to Appeal for Aid

Washington. August 2s.-secretary of War Root returned to the city tonight from his visit to the president at Lake Champlain. He went at once to his apart ments at the Arlington hotel, and during the evening spent some time with General Corbin and Acting Secretary Meiklejohn The secretary was reticent in speaking for publication of his conference with the pres ident.
 The matters, he said, were such as would ordinarily be taken up at a cabinet meet ing and involved no great departures from the policy already in force respecting the Philippines. That the campaign in the Philippines is to be pushed vigorously and promptly is evident from remark the sec retary made to a representative of the As sociated Press He was determined, he said, that every man belonging to the twenty regiments of volunteers now being recruited shall eat his Christmas dinner in that country. This statement was brought out by a reference to the published report that ten of these regiments were to be held in the United States as a reserve force.
 Regarding the reports that General Wes- ley Merritt, who has also been at Lake Champaign in conference with the presi- dent and his war secretary, to succeed General Otis in command of the troops in the Philippines, Secretary Root was non- committal. He evaded all questions on this point and declined to make any posi- tive statement whatever in regard to the subject. The secretary's attention was called to the reports of fresh preparations for treating with the insurgents with a view to peaceful settlement of the war in the Philippines. He had not heard offi- cially of these, although he expressed himself as being glad if such solution of the difficulty could be brought about.
 The conditions in Porto Rico are re- ceiving the careful attention of the presi- dent and war department officials and every effort is being put forward to relieve the suffering caused by the hurricane.
 The secretary is gratified at the responses that have been made to the appeals for as- sistance and noted the fact that approxi- mately $4oOOO or $5o,OOO in money had been raised to this end.

 Postmaster Hughes expressed ignorance of the affair
 'I knew nothing whatever about the matter until noon today" said he. How ever, am informed that Major Allison is a warm personal friend of Judge Shelby, and has been for several years. In event of Major Allison's appointment he is fully competent to fill the position and will make good officer.''
 Theories for Decspitation
 Various theories are advanced for the decapitation of MT. Trimble. The most popular one Is that political debt had to be paid It is said that Allison is a warm personal friend of Judge Shelby, and that he took a lively interest in the campaign of the newly appointed jurist. Another theory is that some of the "bosses'' were unfavorable to MT. Trimble, holding that he had never taken any active part in fighting the battles of the party One re- publican said yesterday that he had never been seen in republican convention dur ing his long residence in the state.
 MT. Trimble has been clerk of the court here since 1890. For elevensor twelve years prior to that time he was clerk of the dis trict court in Mobile. He came as clerk of the circuit court under appointment of Judge Pardee and was made clerk of the district court by Judge Bruce. He has always been considered very capable of- ficer and no charges have ever been en- tered against him. The office which he holds Is very lucrative one.
 Major Allison, who 1t is understood will succeed him, came here about three months ago from Knoxville, Tenn, and has been engaged in the contracting business. He was formerly a major of a regiment of engineers in the army, but resigned His residence is on the South Highlands, but he Is now in Washington.
 Mr. Trimble was not in his office yester- day afternoon, where it was given out that he was at home. It was said by another source that he had gone to Huntsville. supposedly to have conference with Judge Shelby.
