New York City.-A well-dressed
couple boarded a crowded street a
yesterday in Lodi, N j.. bound for
Mackensack. The woman had a
baby in her arms. The infant fore a
WOODEN garment that covered its
neck. Over its head was a warm cap,
with a blue ribbon fastened in "a wide

it tight to her breast.
The car lurched as the motorman
started with a jerk.
"B-a-a, B-a-a," came from the
babe, which had received so much
attention from its "mother." The
woman flushed, her husband grinned
sheepishly. The conductor pushed

Prof. r. G.. Egger's home, in the west
part of town and shot through the
window with a large calibre revolv-
er. The bullet entered the plate glass
window. passed through the curtain
and embedded itself in the wall on
the other side of the room, passing
over the professors study desk. The
whole family Glanced to be in an
other room at the time and so es-
capped harm, but had Mr.. Eggers been
at his desk. and he frequently is at

been a fatality. 1t is a mystery as to
who shot the bullet and for what rea-
son, as Professor Eggers is not
known to have any enemies.
