For Dangerous Condition
On Court Street
Suggested in Verdict Of the
CoroneT's Jury -;
At Inquest Upon the Death Of Mrs.
Clara C. LongfeIIow.

The question of responsibility for the
dangerous condition that exists at the
foot of Court street steps was sug-
gestcd in the verdict returned Mon
day noon, by the coroners jury on
the death of Mrs. Clara Iongfellow.
who died, at els T. NJ. Thursday, as
the result of being struck about an
hour earlier by Maine Central
train.
No blame is attached to any of the
members of the train crew nor is the
blame placed wholly upon the victim
of the accident The finding of the
jury is as follows:
That Clara LongfelIow of Augusta.
Me, county of Kennebcc, came to her
death by being struck by Maine Gem
trail train, No. n, at Court street, Au-
gHstd 1T about ) T. NJ, March y.
f9l2. We find that Clara LongfelloM
could have seen the approaching train
for distance approximately 400 feet
from the point where struck by said
train and that the engineer had his
train under full control, using the
usual precautionary signal of ringing
the bell
We also find that this point as
used ut present and has been used bv
pedestrians is not properly protected
for SUCH
In View of this finding it is interest
ing to note that the act of the 18th
Legislature, which provided for the
adjustment of the Rines Hill grade
crossing in Section provided that the
Maine Central Railroad shall con-
struct and maintain a foot bridge over
tie discontinued portion of Court
street This provision was repealed by
Chapter 81 of the Private and Special
Acts of the present Legislature

courthouse, consumed the entire fore

called. The members of the jury,
which had been previously empaneled
by Coroner Henry Plummer, were: E.

Easter Ball Great Success.


The big Easter ball given by the
ladies of the Altar society of st.
loseph's church last evening at the
Auditorium. was undoubtedly a huge
Success both from a social and finan-
cial point of view.
There was not hitch of any kind

ally large crowd, about $50 couples
being present, each committee hav-
sing the situation well in hand and
working harmoniously to the end
that the evening was filled to the
brim with pleasure for all present.
The big hall was put in tip top
shape. The orchestra, under the di-
rection of Prof. Doucet' occupying
the center of the hall was banked
around with palms. and rendered one
of the best dance programs ever
given here. teeming with popular Sc
iections and the latest light operatic
dance musician inspiration in
itself. The floor was a delight to

few unsuspecting ones, not yet ac-

We May See The sounw Man. ;

We May See "The Squaw Man."
The Squaw Man" which is
booked to appear here Thursday
night. April IL, has had no rival to
its continued success. from the hour
that it first won its way to the
hearts of the metropolis until the
present moment. and there are sew
eral good reasons for this. r.
First of all. II has real merit and
true feeling, combining the finish
and detail of the high society drama,
the virile strength and American en-
.ergy of the true western play, the
brilliancy and sparkle of the genu-
inc and natural comedy and the
feeling and heart-gripping pathos of
the true emotional drama.
And more than this, the merit of
this particular company appearing
here, lies in the fact that this is
the author. Edwin Milton Royle's,
own authorized production, rehears-
ed under his own eyes and by his
own artistic direction. and with ev-
cry member of the east selected by
him for special personal fitness for
the part assigned.
Besides this, this particular pro-
duction is a pleasing anomaly, as all
the scenes of the play are exact re-
productions of the actual locations
where the story of the drama is laid
and have been reproduced, by the
best American artists, with vivid
ness and truth to-nature that makes
one forget the mimic scene of the
stage in the air of realism and the
true atmosphere of the great Giant
West, the land of the sublime. the
magnificent, the stupendous.

Too much cannot be said of the

fee, being served on The stage, which
was prettily decorated with palms
and potted plants and excellent ser
vice was given. in spite of the large
crowd. Richelieu coffee, served by
Mr.. ID. b. Bailey. was praised on
