THREE SHOT
AT A DANCE.
Local Man at New Brunswick
and Had UnpIeasantExperienc
While There.

John Manning, a clerk in the shoe
store of l. G. Moore, had an exper-
ience last night that he does not want
to see happen again. Yesterday Man

young fellnw went to private ball
and reception which was being held
in Armory Hall.
While the dance was in progress a
stranger, little the worse for liquor,
forced his way in. He was told that
the dance was private, and asked to
leave. He refused and was being put
out when he pulled revolver and
commenced shooting, one man was
shot. The fellow got outside and the
crowd started after him. The com
panion Of Manning pulled gun on
the fellow and shot at him. The man
returned the fire as he ran. In all,
three people we're shot, and Manning

ANGRY CROWD MOBS
WILDER MUSIC HALL.
Were BunCoed and Demanded Their Money BaCk--
Cashier Had Skipped and the Crowd Too
Vengeance Out on the Hall Furnishings.

A crowd of fully 500 people went tc
Wilder Music Hall, last night, where
they each paid from 35 to 80 cents to
see the fight between Gardner & Fitz-
simmons, in moving pictures. The
curtain finally went up and four
actors, the worst ever seen in this
city, came out on the stage. Thev
cracked few jokes and tried to sing,
but they were an utter failure. The
crowd endured it for a while, how
ever. At 10 o'clock the people began
to mistrust something, that they were
being buncoed and they set up howl.
The curtain was rung down and a
wild dash was made for the box Office.
The first man to reach that place
found it locked and thinking that the
cashier was inside, he smashed the
window with q stick. The crowd
then woke up, and found that the
manager of the show had skipped.
The mob tried to break down the
doors of the dressing room. They got
on the stage, smashed the electric
lights, ripped the curtain and threw
the scenery off the stage. Chairs were
broken as if they were to be used in
making a fire. Great damage was be-
ing done when Sergeant Mulligan and
Patrolmen Jensen and Long were call
ed to save the place They tried to
put the crowd out, but they could
not. The people wanted their money.
The crowd tried to get at the actors
to wreak their vengeance on them,
and only for the GOODNESS Of the three
policemen, they would have done 80.
The police finally persuaded upon the
crowd to let the actors get out. They
came out of the dressing room, look
ing very much frightened. Guarded
by the three policemen, they walked
to the Pennsylvania station on State
street, where they boarded the 10. A
p. m. train for New York. It will
take some time to repair damages to
the hall.

Salvation Army Makes Merry
Christmas for Poor
Families.
BASKETS TAKEN HOME
Some Large Families We're Well Supplied
With Good Things by the Army at their
Homts Many ChiIdre, Enjoy Turkey
and era 1berry Sauce at the Barracks
iniSmith Street.

For genuine happiness yesterday il
is doubtful if there was any place in
this city where it was to be found
greater than at the Salvation Army
barracks in Smith street 1t is esti
mated that over 200 were fed. The
exact number is not definitely known,
for there were twenty-five baskets
given out which were carried to homes
where there were families of from six
to nine children. These baskets con.
tanned ample provisions for all and
contained all the good things that
make up Christmas dinner.
About 100 sat down at the table pre-
pared at the barracks. If the weather
had been clear the number would
doubtless have been increased. Many
of these were children and the way
they tucked away the great slices of
white meat" and cranberry sauce
was q caution.
There was nothing wasted, not even
time. They were all to busy getting
on the outside of the turkey and
mashed potatoes with gravy to talk
much and the merry clatter of knives
and forks had cheerful ring for those
who fully realized what cares were
all forgotten for the time being.
They all ate until they could eat no
more. 1t was bcuntiful feast One
chubby little fellow devoted his entire
q tention to drum stick almost IS
big as his forearm for fully ten min
utes. Finally he put it down with
sigh of contentment and his face
beamed with smiles After a minute
he took fresh start and dlved into
the good things in way that spoke
volumes as to what he might have
had at home IL it had not been for
this Christmas dinner.
They were not all children, how
ever. Son. gray heads were noticed
at the table All were happy and
when Ensign Wiseman announced that
Monday night another Christmas treat
In the line of candy and li.tle gift
would be given at the barracks the
children cheered and clapped in their
delight. 1t was merry Christmas
for them and one they will not soon
forget.
The hall was prettily decorated for
the occasion. Christmas greens were
everywhere and bunting added to the
attractiveness. Some garments were
given out to the needy.
The army wishes to thank all the
merchants and friends for their con-
tributions and assistance in making
the dinner the great success it was.

FIRE Quilted SMITH
ST. TOBACCO STORE.
Upper Floors Used for Boarding House and Board
ers Were Aroused in Time to Escape. Blaze
Did Not Reach Above First Floor,

Mrs. Emma Anderson, who keeps q
toarding house at 20 Smith street, de-
tected the odor of smoke about 2
O'Clock this morning, as if something
we're burning. Arousing her son
Andrew, she told him that she thought
the place was on fire. He made his
way down stairs and found the rear
room of the store, occupied by L. F.
Williams & Company, wholesale
tobacco dealers, in blaze. Ander-
sou ran 10 box 72, at the corner of
Water and Smith streets, where he
sounded the alarm and then ran back
10 the place. BY this time all of the
boarders in the house had been awak-
ened and with the help of others they
got most of the things upstairs ready
to be carted out, should the occasion
arise.
The fremen responded quickly.
They worked hard and succeeded in
confining the flames to the tlrst floor.

fire and the two combined will make
the loss several thousand dollars,
almost all covered by insurance.
Howard Schroeder, OF the tobacco
company, said 1t was impossible to fix
any definite figure.
The fire was caused, it is thought,
by rats or mice gnawing at matches,
which were kept in paper boxes on
wooden shelf in the rear room.
The building is owned by John W.
Beekman, OF High street. The dam
age is considerable. The tobacco firm
had men at work in the place this
morning, and they will try and get
in order as soon as possible again.
They have many orders to fill and
they say that they will be able to
attend to them without delay.

Elsewhere in to-day's issue will
be found card signed by Miss
Anna Mahon, which is Of great
Importance to every parent who
desires to send their children to a
kindergarten. Miss Mahon grad
uated with high honors in the
kindergarten work, and is fully
capable of giving each pupil who
attends her school a thorough
training preparatory to entering
the High School. The BANNER
is indeed pleased to announce that
Miss Mahon will open a private
kindergarten School on Monday,
October 9TH, 1903. In the absence
Of any appropriation by the School
Board fer carrying out the Kin
dergarten work, the opportunity
thus presented will no doubt be
accepted by parents wishing to
equip their children for the higher
branches of education. We hail
with delight the fact that Frank
lin will still have its school for
little folks, though it will be pri-
vate instead Of a public enterprise.
Miss Mahon's terms will be two
dollars per month for each child.
