probably one of the smoothest yet onered
by the Lafayette company.
Eugene Ormonde plays the title role.
and while his Interpretation is naturally
a different one than that given by Mr..
Goodwin, 1t is nevertheless an intelligent
and interesting drawing of the character.
The role is sympathetic one, literally
spiced with comedy, and Mr.. Ormonde
proved himself quite equal to its require

Banister Strange. and as usual gives the
role his careful consideration. While he
has become identified with roles of this

upon as disparagement, in view of his ex-

Charles Wyngate has a pleasing role in
Jack Duval, which he handles very skill
fully. His dramatic announcement OF

Girl Who Stole $3.50 Arrested.

Dazzled by the glare of the foot
lights and the glittering tinsel Incl
dent to a career on the stage, Tillie
King, an eighteen year-old girl, who
was employed by Frank L. Fighter,
grocer, of Water St., this city, stole
the sum of $3.50 last Monday after
noon from closet in his home and
disappeared. The theft occurred about
two O'Clock and not until five hours
later were the police authorities in
formed.
The girl was traced to Morris Plains,
where she visited her lover, George
Payne, an employee at the State Insane
Hospital, whom she presented with a
gold watch and chain. The same
evening she went to Summit and later
journeyed to Newark. From the lat
ter place she went to Elizabeth, where
she was captured by Detective Wat
son, having just returned to board
ing house in Second avenue after a
night at the theatre.
When searched the girl had more
than $500 in her possession. She was
fashionably attired and exhibited
several stylish gowns which she in
tended to wear on the stage. Her
home is in South Beach, Staten Island,
and she had made her residence in
Morristown during the past year.
Police Officer Brennan brought the
girl from Elizabeth Wednesday after
noon and placed her in the county
jail. She seems quite Indifferent to
her plight and is evidently stage
"struck. - She said she expected to
secure an engagement this summer in

VOTE NOT RECOUNTED.
Settled out of Court BardOn Is
Collector.

A meeting of the County Board of
Elections was ordered by Supreme
CourtsJustlce Garretson for this morn
ing flor the purpose of recounting the
votes cast for collector in the North
ern Election District of the Borough
of Madison at the election held there
on March 18th last.
The recount is ordered on the petit
tion of Lewis A. Waters, Republican
candidate for collector of taxes, who,
according to the returns, was defeated
by George E. Bardon, the Citizen S
candidate, by majority of three.
The certificate of election was given
to Mr.. Bardon, and he is now holding
office. Nathaniel 9. Toms of Morris
town, is counsel for Mr.. Waters.
The petition sets forth that in the
southern district on the evening of
the election. Mr.. Waters thought mis-
takes had been made in the count, and
the board made recount at his re-
quest, changing the vote ten more in
his favor. He then turned to the
northern district to ask for a recount
there but the board had adjourned.
He bases his petition on the belief
that the same mistakes may have oc-
CURED in the northern district. No
official ballot is used at charter elec-
tions and the Mistakes it is set forth,
grew out of this. Ballots were got
out under the name of Citizens and
Republican with various combina.
tion of candidates upon them.
1t is said that in the southern dis.
trict the names of Albright and
Waters were counted as straight Citi,
zens ballots, the change of name fol
collector not being noted. In other
cases ballots containing the names Of
Reynolds and Bardon, under the heat
of Citizens, were counted as straight
Citizens and then one extra for Bar
don.
The hearing was not held as the mat
ter was settled out of court, and Mr.
Bardon is now in undisputed possession
of the collectorship.
