1t All Happened Right in Broad
Street, Too; and There Was
No End of Trouble.

They were just two plain, mud-col-
ored Holsters, with very bright pros
poets of feeling hot water in the near
future. yet forsabout ten minutes this
noon a crowd of $50 people had the
laugh of their lives out of the escape
and the daring capture-of the mon
sters of the deep right in Broad street,
a little above West Park street.
Two pretty girls, who after much re-
l~uctance gave their names as Misses
Carlina and Gertrude Peterson, of 322
South Tenth street, were the owners.
"Tarty'' Cohen, of II South Orange
avenue. is the hero who rescued the
fair damsels from their distress. The
effect of the briny water that dripped
from them in weakening the paper bag
in which they were imprisoned resulted
in the escape. When Lobster No. l felt
the bag giving way he began to claw
about him, and soon his brother zap
tive did the same. Then things hap
pened.
The first hal the young ladies be-
came aware of the escape was when

MRS. MARGARET STEVENS
BACK FROM G. A. r. MEET,

With the return of Mrs. Margaret A.
Stevens, of 5S5 Broad street, to her
home last night, the interest in the
National Convention of the Ladies Of
the G.. A. r. ends SO far as the local
Circles are concerned. Mrs. Stevens
has for a number of a been the
most prominent of the local members
of the society, having served as presi-
dent of the New Jersey branch for a
number of years, and also in almost
all of the offices of the National Asso-
citation except that of president. She
was a candidate this year and was de-
feated by a very small margin. She
represented the eastern faction in the
G. a. r. Ladies' Circles and was de-
feated more on this ground than for
n lack of personal popularity. 1t
was said by the majority of the repre-
sentatives at the convention that had
it not been for the absence of several
eastern representatives at the time
of the election Mrs. Stevens would UNI
d%ouDtedly have won the position.
Mrs. Stevens is a member of the
Circle No. IA. Battery B." She is the
wife of a civil war veteran and five of
her sons participated in the Spanish
American war.

FRED FUCHS EXPLAINS
WHY HE VOTED AS JUROR
o the Editor of the Newark Star.

To the Editor of the Newark Star:
l would request you to publish the
following lines, to complete your article
regarding the juror who voted so he
could get back to his business, recently
published.
On Monday, June 81, l was notified to
appear the mex day at 10 o'clock In
the morning at the First District Court
to serve as a juror. L was forced to
hire a man (bartender) for tina day.
The trial lasted until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, and at 6 o'clock l had to be
at my business, because the hired
mans time was UP at that time. The
day of June % was very hot, I'M 1t is
certainly asking too much Of a man to
sit in a small room In a damage suit
which amounts to nothing, not to talk
about the pay, twenty-five cents in
cash. ] think it my duty to explain
my position to the other Jurors and to
the compliments, so there can be no
mistake.
l am of the opinion that they ought
to do away with Jurors service in dis
trict courts and should leave 1t tt a
competent judge to decide the amount
of damages. Respectfully,
FRED FUCHS.

of delight the work of the players IN

the fans to the fact that a %pennant

Clifton avenue, whose back was broken
some weeks ago, has been given up by
