EXCITEMENT AT JACQUES.
Young Woman in the Dress Circle
 Became Hysterical.


 Became Hysterical.
 There was a small panic at Jacques last evening. The last but one fig ure on the program was before the audience, and the house was envel- oped in temporary darkness to allow the two persons on the stage time to make a change of costume for the miser scene from the Greek play, '.Ingomar." Thunder and lightning effects always accompany this scene and "Polydor," the miser, had but entered on the stage, the lights hav- ing been turned up, and "Parthenia" having taken her place, when real thunder and lightning broke forth and the rain battered heavily on the tin roof of the theater. "Polydor' was in a terrible state of mind, his rant ings and rawlings were congenial to the clashing storm outside, when a girl in the dress circle became hyster- ical. People thought she was mere ly laughing at the extravagant display of 'Polydor" as the calcium followed him on the stage, but when her cries continued and were broken by sobs everybody became inquisitive. Many 4elt IueH seats duu peOpIe were DS- coming alarmed. But the actors on the stage paid no attention to the growing excitement, nevertheless peo- pie were bobbing up and down in their seats in all parts of the house, when someone shouted, "SH down therel Whats the matter with youY Thereupon attention was turned once more to "Polydor's' rawlings and Do f1,or,f fafe .Ia1o 6I, small panic was nipped in the bud.

 Company to Share in the Cost.
 Judge Roraback of the superior court yesterday handed down his de- cision in the Terryville crossing case. After citing the act which has been passed since the hearing before the commissioners by which street rail- way companies may be ordered to pay part of the expense of alterations in crossings, he says: But for this pub lie actsI should internationally affirm the order of the railroad commission CTS appealed from He then de- clares that from repeated expressions of the legislature it is undeniable that it has become the settled policy of this state to abolish grade cross ings." He sees no reason why this general policy should be departed from in this case and says: From the ey- 1dence and a personal view of this crossing l am convinced that it has become and is a source of danger to life and property"
 After reciting facts and circumstan- stances connected with the case he thinks that the Bristol & Plainville Street Railway company should bear a portion of the expense of the alter ation and decides that the "Consoli- dated" road should make the change and upon the completion of the work the town of Plymouth pay to the rail- road company 9 per cent and the Bristol & Plainville Tramway company 25 per cent of the whole cost of making the alteration and damages. the tramway company's share to be paid before it shall commence to build it's tracks under the steam road and over the approaches.

that an active united effort must be
made by the sheep growers themselves

leave the territory, and that if any

He is Insane and His Wife Also in a
Bad Fix.
SAD NEWS TO FRIENDS.

The many friends of Prof. G.. S. Ram
say will be pained to learn that it has
become necessary to commit him to
the insane asylum at Highlands. Cal.
This trouble commenced at the time
of his leaving the New Mexico univer
slty here. At that time his friends
watched him very carefully for months,
lest he take his own life.
Symptoms OF mental trouble have
been showing themselves at different
times since, until some four months
ago, when the final crash came. His
case is reported as almost hopeless.
Resulting from this. Mrs. Ramsay
who is here, was taken to a private
sanitarium with severe nervous pros
tration, and, although reported better
today, is still in a serious condition.
