WOMAN IS GIVEN
$3.50 IN DAMAGES
Mrs. Sarah Abramson Wins
Action Against MandeI in
Court Here.

The jury in the case of Hyman
Abramson and Sarah Abramson. his
wife, and Samuel Mandel, of New
Brunswick avenue, returned a verdict
yesterday afternoon of $3.50 damages
for Mrs. Abramson and not guilty for
the husband. The case had been
continued from Thursday, the testi-
mony reaching until late yesterday
afternoon.
The Abramsons were suing for
$500 in an action in which they al
legged that Mandel had assaulted Mrs.
Abramson while she was in a serious
condition, and the husband sued for
the loss of his wife's services and
society. Manders defense was a
complete denial of the charges, con-
tending that he did not strike Mrs.
Abramson. Jacob NJ. Klein repre-
sented the Abramsons and Stephen
Somogyi appeared for Mandel.
The verdict may be the cause of an
application for a new trial by Mr..
Somogyi on the grounds of inconsis-
tent evidence and judgment.

CLARK IN ATTACK
ON P|CKERSG|LL
Also Says Something Against
Alderman Wilson at Dem :
ocratic Meeting.

Is
Alderman John j. Clark answered
Recorder H. e. Pickersgill and pub
licly challenged him to- answer Ques-
tions concerning some of his acts
while sitting as recorder, at, an en-
thusiastic meeting of fifth and sixth
ward Democrats in Kozusko's hall last
night. Thomas Brown and former
Assemblyman Arthur A. Quinn laid
some good reasons before the voters
as to why they should support the
Democratic ticket. Former Alderman
at-Large w. Guy Weaver told about
some of the accomplishments of the
Democratic Board of Aldermen of
which he was a member for two years
particularly in the sixth ward. Jo-
seph j. Degan, who has been gaining
fame as a political speaker in the
metropolis the past few weeks, was
the presiding officer on this occasion
last night. The interior of Kozusk o's
hall was appropriately decorated for
the occasion by Robert Fleischman.
Goodwill Fife, Drum and Bugle Corps
rendered music.
Standing as plain citizen, Alder
man Clark, representing the fifth
ward, attacked Recorder Pickersgill.
He said the recorder was quoted as
saying that he, Clark, was going about
attacking him. Gentlemen, I attack
no one, the alderman stated,
Now, l do not know if Recorder
Pickersgill is quoted correctly or not.
If he is quoted correctly then 1 must
pass this statement up to him as an
untruth. Recorder Pickersgill did
accost me on the southwest corner of
State and Smith streets one day and
asked me if 1 would tell him the
name of the man who was fined IS
without a trial. I very candidly told
him I~would not, nor will I tell him
the name of the man whom he sent
to the county Jail for six months dur
ing the cable works strike. He is
quoted as saying 1 could not. 1 said
would not. l would like to know
why he sent the former cable works
striker to the county Jail, and also
why he had the same man brought
back and released after serving but
a few days of the sentence he, Pick
ersgill, imposed upon him. This
young man was sent to Jail for no
other reason than that he was a COM
petent leader of the strikers, Now
either he deserved punishment and
should have served the penalty meted
out, or he should not have been sem
fenced at all.
Again will ask why Pickersgill
fined young man 500 on a charge
of disorderly conduct one Sunday
morning recently, and If he thought
he was handing that young man a
square deal. Also, did he know how
that disorderly conduct charge was
brought about. John Clark knows.
Does he know that during the

Ever in the lead with metropolitan
papers of the country and world the
EVENING NEWS has done everything
possible for speedy and accurate re-
ceipt of election news from through
out the country, for likewise conven-
lent and accurate dispensing of the
news to its patrons. 1t will give re-
turns on a screen in front of the
NEWS building, will answer calls for
Information over its special informa-
tion line Of which the number Is 1896,
and will publish Wednesdays paper
early in the morning to give readers
of Perth Amboy and vicinity detail
printed returns before they seat them
selves for breakfast.
A Victor Animatograph Company
stereopticon machine of latest design
has been purchased by the NEWS so
that results may be given out to the
public the minute they are received
In its office. Through the courtesy of
Protection Hook & Ladder Company
the NEWS has been permitted to
erect a large screen across the street
from It's office at 2S4 State street.
The stereopticon will be operated In
the NEWS building a few feet from
its especially leased news wires.
Clearly printed news bulletins togeth-
er with pictures of candidates and
OLn0r features Will lIluS De QlSplaycu
upon the screen. The service will be
opened about $50 o'clock Tuesday
night and continue until early We'd
nesday morning.
The special information wire of the
NEWS is at the service of the general
public and may be used as much as is
desired, but the NEWS wishes to i'm
press upon it's patrons that they
should refrain from calling on either
&c, 1o, rrysr, foI ~, fN1A
phone directory, as they must be used
exclusively for the receipt of election
news from all parts of the city and
county. Hence, anyone seeking infor-
nation by telephone from the NEWS
Tuesday night must call Perth Amboy
1896. If the regular wires are asked
for information must be refused and
the caller will be asked to call 1896.
1t is absolutely necessary that the reg
ular lines be kept open for incoming
news calls.
AS has been the custom for several
years past, the election edition of the
NEWS of Wednesday will be issued
early in the morning. 1t will be on
the street before most breakfasts are
served and will contain full details of
election results of the national State
county and city. There will be de-
scriptive stories with pictures and ta-
bles of figures to show how men of
the various districts voted.
Here again must be impressed upon
the public the necessity of keeping the
NEWS system intact. The EVENING
NEWS office must be used only by it's
staff or workers on duty election
night. 1t Is absolutely necessary that
no other persons enter the building, so
as to obviate any and all Interference
and enable all possible speed and ac-
curacy in the duties of those at work
The doors of the NEWS building will
therefore be locked to all but employees
on duty election night.

THINK CHILD IS
FATALLY BURNED
Baby is Badly Burned When
Playing With Bonfire in
Is Hall Avenue.

Three year old Mary Defcheck, of
2S3 Hall avenue, was seriously burned
Yesterday afternoon when her clothes
caught fire from a bonfire about
which she was playing with some
neighboring children. Her condition
this morning was thought to be so
low that death would come at any
minute.
AS far as can be learned the child's
dress came in contact with the flames
and the light material Immediately
caught fire. In ap instant the flames
had enveloped the child, who dropped
to the ground. The entire right side
of the child was badly burned from
head to foot. Although the child lived
through the afternoon it was thought
she would die at any minute. The
child is being cared for at her home
on Hall avenue by DIR. Meinzer.

Brooklyn Recognized as Cradle
of Stirring American Pasfime

more famous than the Excelsiors. It
was the Atlantic club which in 1870
stopped the famous winning streak
of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. For
year and a half this pioneer pro-
fessional outfit had whipped the best
clubs of America, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific and from the Gulf
to Canada, but the Atlantics, an anna
teur club composed exclusively or
natives of Brooklyn, bested the Reds
two out Of three. John c. Chapman,
the last surviving member OF the old
Atlantics, died in his home in Brook
lyn last month.
The Capitoline Grounds in Brook
lyn, where the Atlantics played their
games, was probably the biggest ball
yard every known, and while It
lacked the lavish and luxurious fea-
lures of modern big league parks, It
was there when it came to size. The
site of the old home Of the Atlantics
is now covered with expensive apart
ment buildings. and is now one Of the
classy residential sections Of the City
of Churches.
Great as was Brooklyn in amateur
baseball, It was a comparatively late
conner in professional circles. In
1876, the Mutuals. charter members
of the National League, had their
home in Brooklyn, but they claimed
to represent New York. The Mutuals
were fired out of the league at the
end Of one season. II was not until
1883 that Brooklyn had another pro-
fessional league club, when Charles
H. Byrne put a team in the Interstate
League In 1884 Brooklyn was admit
ted into the American Association, and
for six years was represented in that
old major circuit, winning the pens
nant in 1889.
In 1890 President Byrne transferred
his club to the National League, re-
tanning Bill McGunnigle as manager
and the club which had copped the
flag in the A. A repeated in the Ma
tional. The Dodgers did not win on
other pennant until 1899, when Ned
Hanlon turned the trick He repeat
ed in 1900. but since then Brooklyn
has been flagless.
