SUCCESS OF THE
UNION MARKED

No success achieved by the Bridge
ton Musical Union in the past twenty
five years has been more marked than
the presentation Wednesday OF Dudley
Bucks dramatic cantata "The Light
of Asia. -
1t was a most pleasurable evening
for the music lovers Of this city, and
it is pleasing to remark that the audi
ence was in keeping with the import
ance of the event. The entire audi
torium was filed with the people who
know and like music, critical it is
true, but last night the rendition of
the work by the soloists and chorus
was entirely satisfactory hnd encourag-
ing applause followed number after
number, while some of the more i'm
portant renditions awakened genuine
enthusiasm.
The theatre presented pretty pic.
ture last night. AS the audience filed
orchestra, circle and balcony, and
faced the stage, they enjoyed the stage
scene. The chorus, large, sitting upon
elevated seats, the ladies gowned al
most wholly in white, appeared to a
decided advantage.
OF the concert too much cannot be
said. The "Light of Asia" is an ex-
pressive story, and was interpreted
last night under direction OF Director
Thomas r. Janvier in most satisfac-
tory manner. The chorus, unusually
large, was remarkable with it's time
and every motion, every indication of
the director was recognized immedi-
ately and every unusual effort was
met with direct and pronounced re-
sponse. The shading of the chorus
was most artistic. In the epilogue
and finale the chorus burst forth in
glorious effort and the cantata ended
with the audience sweeping back to
the singers storm of applause.
The soloists were not in any respect
disappointing. Mrs. Lolita Garrison
Hickman has a voice remarkable for
its wide range. clear and especially
sweet in the upper register. In her
solo efforts she carried every one with
her, while in duos with the tenor she
was at her best. Few soprano soloists
have more satisfactorily sung here
than Mrs. Hickman, and no part of
her Interpretation Of the work can be
adversely criticized.
Clear and sweet is the voice of Mr..
Edward Shipper vanleer, the Phila-
delphia tenor. Especially pleasing
was his enunciation, his every word
being spoken as intelligibly as il in
easy conversation. His work was
more than once enoored last night
He added much interest to the even
ing's entertainment with his DUETS
with the soprano and in the trio with
Mrs. Hickman and the basso.
Very engaging in manner, with q
voice deep, round and full, DR.. Geo.
Conquest Anthony, bass baritone. was
favorite. Everyone liked his work,
and he repeatedly was repaid with
most generous applause. How pretty
was the tenor and bass dialogue in
part three, together the terzett with So
prano. Encore followed encore during
this rendition.
And this is saying far too little for
the splendid and most successful
efforts of these distinguished artists.
and their singing will not soon be
forgotten by any Of the very large
audience enjoying it.
1t is perhaps entirely proper to say
that much of the pleasing success oi
the evenings concert is due the or.

broken. Under the direction of DR..
Corson, Mr.. Hustled was brought down
town and taken to the Bridgeton Hos
pltal in wagon. DR.. Joseph Tomlin-
son was called in consultation and the
injured member was set and put in
cast.
When it was learned that Mr.. Hustled
was injured there was a feeling of
great regret He is always leader in
the athletic sports of the Association
and has contributed many points to
the winning OF the "Pioneer' cup
which helps to adorn the quarters of
the Association. 1t will be several
weeks before Mr.. Hustled will be
among the boys again.

WILL STICK BY HIS WORD
JEROME REVIEWS PROMISE RE- GARDING INSURANCE SCANDAL.

Will Surely Prosecute All Persons
 Shown Guilty of Crime by the Reve-
 latiOns of the InvestigatiOn-Doe
 Not wish to Shirk Responsibility of
 Conducting Any Such Cases.
 New York, Oct, S1.-Further prom ises to prosecute persons shown to be guilty of crimes by the revelations in life insurance affairs now being made by the New York legislative commit- tee were made by District Attorney William T. Jerome to-day.
 The promises were made in reply to the construction which his rival for office James ". Osborne put upon MT. Jerome's recent statement that if re- elected he would employ Charles E. Hughes, now counsel for the investi- gating committee, to conduct the pros ecution of insurance offenders. MT. Osborne asked MT. Jerome if he want ed to use MT. Hughes in order to shirk the conduct of these prosecu- tions himself. Mir. Jerome said in re- ply to-day:
 T have felt all along in regard to these insurance matters that crimes had been committed, and that the per- sons guilty of these crimes should be prosecuted, and it is my intention as I have said on several occasions, to pros- ecute to the bitter end every person connected with these insurance mattrs, against whomit is possible to obtain evidence showing the commission of 8 criminal offense.
 Eff elected, in such, prosecutions I shall avail myself, without reserve, of every aid and assistance that I can obtain from any quarter. I have ab- solutely no relations to anybody in any way connected with these insurance troubles that would hamper or enltbar- rass me in the slightest degree in the prosecution of those who have commit- ted a crime" ,..

STUDENT NOT TIED TO RAILS.
Father of Young PiersOn Killed While
 Awaiting Initiation, Satisfied.

Cincinnati, Oct. 31,-N. L. Pierson, of this city, whose son was killed by a, train at Gambler, Ohio, while awaiting l initiation into a Greek letter fraternity Saturday night, to-day declared his dis
 belief in the suggestion of the coroner that young Pierson may have been tied to the track. MT. Pierson went to
 Gambler to attend the initiation, being an alumnus of Kenyon college and a member of the fraternity which his son was about to join. He said: q am certain that Stuart, who had been up all night waiting for me, dozed off. When the train came around the curve near the football field the light must have blinded him and he sprang to his feet and was caught before he fully walked.
 "The early removal of the body am entirely responsible for.
 There is no cause for believing my boy was tied. He was told to go out on the bridge and wait utnil they came for him. It was his business to wait, whether it was quarter of an hour or an hour. He had been up all night waiting for me and was sleepy"

 That Doctor Who Dismemhered Body
 Has Been Located but Fails to Make
 an Arrest--Considers Mystery Solved.
 Pittsburg, Oct. 31.-With the reluc- tant consent of his attorneys and against the advice of the physician called in, Morris Nathan, arrested here in connection with the Winthrop suit case mystery, left the city tonight at Il o'clock for Boston in the custody of Silas P. Smith, of the Massachusetts state constabulary. His leaving was voluntary and Inspector McGarr, of the Boston police, remains here to further interrogate tomorrow members of the Shepherd King theatrical company, of which Nathan was member.
 Nathan was in such an extreme state of nervousness to-day that Officers Dunn and Dennison were detailed to guard his cell, lest he do himself harm
 Attorney Siskand to-day called in Dr. H. F. Briggs to examine the prisoner, and the physician reported Nathan suf- fering from extreme nervous shock and advised against his removal at present. Attorneys Johnson and Burleigh joined MT. Siskand and the doctor in advising Nathan not to go, but he insisted that he wanted to return as quickly as pos sible and help to ayenge his sweet hearts murder. Before Nathan's de- parture Attorney Siskand extracted a promise from the Boston officers that, owing to the prisoners condition, no further questions would be put to him, and that, in the absence of incriminat- ing evidence, he would be released as soon as possible.
 One of the reasons assigned for the prisoners extreme nervousness was that his cell in police headquarters was just across the alley from the Nixon theater, where "The Shepherd King" is being performed, and the strains of the music for the dance in which Miss Geary formerly participated were dis tinctly audible to the prisoner at each performance.

BANNER CAUSED TROUBLE.
Hearst's Name on It With Red Flag
 Above

New York, Oct 31.-An invasion of the city, hall was made to-day by a great crowd of men and boys who were angered at u e raising of a Tammany campaign banner on which there was a red flag above the name "Hearst" and an American flag above the name { ttMcCIellan.'' The crowd, shouting "let's tell Mcclellan what we think of him." overran the city hall steps for a quarter of an hour until dispersed by the police.
 When the immense banner was raised near the staute of Benjamin Franklin in Park Row, bearing beneath the two flags the inscription 'sUnder which fiag?" an excited crowd immediately gathered and self-constituted leaders made speeches from the base of the monument. The great triangle at this point was quickly blocked by crowd which l1owled curses at the banner overhead. Several persons attempted to pull the banner down by climbing the tall poles which supported it, but they were pulled off the poles by mem- bers of the mounted police and one ar- rest was made.
 One of the speechmakers was then seized by the crowd and carried on their shoulders, the way was led toward the city hall, directions being given to continue the demonstration in the mayors presence. On the city hall steps @ few policemen attempted to stop the rush but were swept aside and, a few members of the crowd entering the cor riders of the building, they sent for as- sistance. Except for shouting it's opin- ion the crowd showed no sign of vio- Hence and made no further attempt to reach the mayor. Until an extra force of police arrived a mass meeting was conducted on the steps and when the police ordered the gathering to dis perse the order was obeyed in a peace ful spirit. The man under arrest was later let go on a suspended sentence.

OLD POBIEDONOSTSEFF
 RESIGNS HIS OFFICE
DRIVEN OUT BY DAWN OF CON- STITUTIONAL~ ERA IN
 RUSSIA.

Chief PrOcuratOr of the Holy Synod and
 the Servant and Adviser of Three
 EmperOrs-Strongest Defender of the
 AutOeracy-UnwiiIing to Remain fin
 office Under a Parliamentary Govern
 ment-czar Issues RescrIpt Addressed
 10 Him-First Change in Ministry In-
 dicated.
 St. Petersburg, Oct. 31--The dawn of constitutional era marks also the passing of Constantine Petrovitch Po- biedonostseff, the aged chief procura- tor of the holy synod and the servant and adviser of three emperors, who all during his long life has been the strongest defender of the autocracy. He was unwilling to remain in office under parliamentary government and tonight presented his resignation which was accepted by the emperor, who at the same time nominated him to the senate, the resting place of re- tired statesmen. The following re- script addressed to M. Pobiedonostseff was published late tonight:
 Constantine Petrovitch, yielding to your desire, we have called you to the senate and also desire you to continue your activity as member of the coun- cil of the empire, but liberate you from the functions of chief procurator of the holy synod and of member of the com Inittee of ministers. Having been for more than quarter of a century the nearest collaboration with my grandfa- ther, my father and myself in the ad- ministration of the Orthodox church, you have acquired my esteem by your extraordinary capability and devotion to the throne. In divesting myself in your person of the services of a states man whose zeal and firm convictions were ever highly appreciated by me, find it my sincere duty to express to you my profound gratitude for your de- voted services
 The first change in the ministry con- templated by Count Witte also was in- dicated tonight in the published an- nouncement of the retiremen of Lieu tenant General Glasoff, minister of ed- ucation, who was nominated to the X ministry from the army when the strong hand and iron discipline were thought necessary to keep the students in order. It was General Glasoff who recommended to the emperor the grant, ing of autonomy to the universities and the conferring on them of the right or assembly.

Testimony in Foote Case the BaAis of
 Charges--Leddy was supernumerary
 Attorney Goodhart the Complain-
 ant-Commendations of Chief Wrinn
 for the Month.
 When the police commissioners as- sembIed last evening for the regular monthly meeting they voted to take up first the charges of conduct unbecorn- ing an officer preferred by Attorney Jacob Q. Goodhart against supernunl- erary Harry ID T. Leddy. It was all legged that in his evidence in the Foote case iii the court of common pleas Leddy testified to the purchase of Ii quor at an unlicensed place, and to having improper relations with a col ored woman. both on September @ The charges were read after which Leddy pleaded not guilty. 0
 Attorney Goodhart read over the en- tire testimony given by Leddy in the common pleas court from the sten- ographer's record. The case came, be- fore Judge ullman on a writ of ha- beas corpus for the possession of the child of the Foote's, which both the mother and the grandmother strove for. The suitability of both parties to take charge of the child was in ques- ton. Officer Leddy, it appears, had been engaged by MT. Foote to locate and obtaini evidence against Mrs Foote. In doing this he testified to visiting a house kept by a Mrs. Baker eolored, at 20S Commerce street. Here it was that the alleged unbeconing acts occurred. In the testimony read by Attorney Goodhart, Leddy testified paying for liquor that was drank by the persons assembled on that even- ing, and also with. staying at the house on the night in question. To a direct question asking if he cohabited with any woman there, Leddy answer ed yes. s
 After reading the court testimony on which his charges were based, Attor- ney Goodhart further alleged that Led dy had visited the same place repeat edly since that time, that on Sunday he induced Mrs. Baker by the use of money to leave the city, fearing that she might be subpoenaed against him, and that yesterday he had talked with g. colored man connected with that place, in an endeavor to get Mrs. Foote to leave New Haven, and that she had departed from the city. Offi- cer Leddy wished to ask no questions of Attorney Goodhart, who was giv- en permission to withdraw.
