TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN A QUIET HAMLET Wltli Another Negro Hen Ilaker Murilcr * u HlecpliiR Woman and Her llnbo lloth In Turn Are Killed by tbo Ilunbanil. FRANKLIN PARK , N. J. , March 1. The township of Franklin Park Is a slumbrous ort of a place nnd has been for over 100 years. In fact , tliero hna been no excitement hero alnco the tlmo when George Washington , In command of a lot of ragged soldiers , was known to bo In the vicinity , not long before certain llttlo events that have been recorded In history In connection with the records of Princeton and Trenton. Not alnco then has tliero been any excite ment In this llttlo place until this morning. There were 400 people In the place , consequently quently the loaa of four Is felt nnd the man ner of their taking off Is aomethlng that municipalities 100 times Ita alzo might boast of If they were In the line of record breaking for BoiiHatlons. In a word , two negroes attempted to rob a prosperous farmer. In I their attempt they killed a woman nnd child and were killed them selves , The woman would have been the mother of a child In n few days If she had boon allowed to live. The Bilkers have long been held as socia ble and reputable members of thla small community. Old John J Baker has held ground hero for farming purposes longer than the oldest Inhabitant can tell about. About two > cars ngo his second son , Moore Baker , married a pretty blond named Lucy Evana , daughtci of n neighboring farmer. The settlement that the old Baker made upon the young people Included a tract of many acres and enabled the son to build n now cottage upon the property. The couple lived together up to today with the prospect of living to n joyful age. This morning came n crisis that could not have been .fore seen , nor could any profit attach to the re sult of Ita terrible conclusion The old Bakers had , ns n port of protege , a colored boy named Henry BaUcr , whom they had taken in and helped since the tlmo he was C years old. This boy has often been employed by Moore Baker to do chorea around his house. Yesterday afternoon Moore Baker nave his colored namesake a Job at cutting some wood and paid him for It. After receiving his pay the colored chap asked Mr. Baker to lend him $2 , saying he would return It on Saturday The farmer did not llko to sec the young man with so much money nnd he parleyed with him. AROUSED HIS CUPIDITY. "Hen. " said Mr. Baker , "I've only got a $100 bill ; If you change that for me , I'll lend you the $2. " "A hundred dollar bill ! " sold the negro. "I never saw one Mr. Baker , let's have a look at It. " Ulth that Moore Baker displayed a note of the denomination of $100 nnd several smaller bills The nrgio said nothing , but went away without getting his desired loan Later in the day lien Baker and another negro , named Wlllard Thompson , a lad of 13 years , were been by Boyd Baker , a brother of Moore , to whom they said they were going to Da > ton , about four miles away , to see a friend. They went to Dayton , as It has since transpired , but they wont In a wagon drawn by a horse out of Moore Baker's stable and without Baker's permission. It was nt 10 o'clock at night that they blurted on this trip. trip.Exactly Exactly whnt they did In Dayton Is not konwn , but they certainly stopped at Wjnn's saloon nnd had beveral drinks. They re turned by the old plank road and turning off It to the uorthward they drove to the Baker barn nnd hitched the horse. That much of their movements la known by many. What they dlil afterwards Is told by Moore Baker. About 1'30 this morning the negroes , hav ing secured the axe with which Hen Baker had made his half dollar In chopping wood for Moore Baker during the afternoon , went to the entrance to the collar of joung Baker's residence nt the rear of the house and broke It open. They had taken off their shoes , and In stocking feet climbed down the narrow row- stairway Into the cellar , then up Into the parlor on the first floor , nnd so through an entrance that led to n stairway that landed at the rear of the room In which Mr. Moore Baker , his wife and child lay asleep. Do > ou think they had forgotten the axe ? Will Thompson had attended to that and cairled the weapon close to his breast. They sneaked up the rear stairway and crawled Into the bleeping apartment of' the Baker family. * Mrs. Baker heard the noise , .nnd by the dim light of a small lamp that had bcon left burning saw the figures of the two negroes enter the rear door. She became almost paral > zed with fear , but uttered a faint cry. Thompson , tlio hntcliet bearer , rualieu across the room and smote her In the forehead with his weapon. Not satisfied that ha had killed her , ho struck her again. Mr. Baker had not yet av.akoned , but the child. In a crib alongside the bed was aroused , nnd she , a little ono of 14 months , set up a cry. The wretch Thompson thereupon , with a swing ing blow , crushed the Infant's skull to atoms. BEGINNING OF A FEARFUL STRUGGLE Now Mr Baker became aroused Ho saw hit two enemies nnd iccosnl ed them both. Ho rolled out Into a nairou space between the bed nnd the wall and before he struck the floor Hen Baker was upon him. The negro grasped for Ills throat and a struggle which cannot bo dcbuilbed In worda , but can only bo'Imagined , ensued. Mr. Baker Is a powerful man , and not realizing w hat had been done to his loved ones , but feeling he must do something and do It quickly ho grappled with the negro. Ho got to Ills feet and dealt Baker a blow on the face that knocked him ten feet away nnd on the floor at the foot of the bed. Thompson , sealng that his pal was In trou ble , rmdo a i ubh for Mt liaker w 1th the axe. Ho swung the steel headed weapon llko n windmill , and had It not boon that Mr. Baker felt Its oncoming through a rush of air made by the nssallant'H quick motion toward him , the negroes would Imvo added ono more to their list of murders Aa It was Mr. Baker threw his head back and the sharp edge ot the blade merely cut his left fore , head enough to make It biped. Now tha farmer felt that ho wnu up against n double game. Ho mndo u man at Thompson only to tecclvo another slight ( ; ash on his cheek. That did not deter him. however , and ho mndo nn cffert to gain close quarters. Coming cloao together , Thompson aimed another blow down from over his bend , which , In the semi-darkness , failed to carry straight. The handle of the ax came down with all Its force on Mr. Baker'a light arm , causing an ugly swelling , Seeing the wretch had misted hla ulm r.nd believing ho had loat hla head , Mr. Baker grappled Mr the iix , They were now near the door by which the negroes had entered. After giving Thompson n blow In the jaw with his right hand and Htagger- Ing the villain , ho got his hand on the handle of the ax and wrenched It away to his own possession Thompson then re treated toward the foot of the bed ngnln. Baker followed him and dealt him a blow on the head with the butt end of the N. Thompson receded back toward the door. Moore linker followed him , dealing blow upon blow upon the head ua fast aa ho could with all the force that was left In his ex hausted condition It waa not until they had reached the door that the negro fell. When he fell Mr Baker left him and went to look for Hen Baker , This morning \\hun Thompson's bed ) was examined It was discovered that ho had no less than seven frightful gashes on the chest und skull , The search for Hen Baker was short. The negro had entered a 'small room whore a gas atovo vum kept to twist off a piece of the ttove to < ibo as a weapon. Mr. Baker hoard his movement and went to the door. Aa It was daik In that room Mr. Baker did not enter. Ho called out ; "Como out hnro , you black vllliln , " but there waa no movement upon the part of Hon. Mr. Bnkor then rail back for hla ( thotgmu KILLED HIS OTHEIl ASSAILANT. Hen Baker , on seeing him so away , crept stealthily toward the door of the small room , near which waa a stairway leading down In the front of the house. Ho had just roachcd the door when Mr. Baker cnmo within sight cf him. Without a word Moore Baker ghotildPrcd his gun nnd fired The shot entered the negro's left eye , nnd ho fell groaning to the ground. Then Moore Baker ran bark to nttend to hla wife and child. Feeling for them through the running streams of blood ho found their bodies vvcro still warm. Hla first thought waa to got a phslclan. Running to hla stable ho mounlcd a horse , dashed to' the office of Dr. Hogan , half a mile nway from the iivvful occurrences. When Hognn reached the IIOUBO ho found that Mrs. Baker nnd her child bad been killed Instantly and that Thompson had also yielded up to death. Hen Baker waa still olive , but ho died about daylight. Coroner Reed held nn Inquest , nnd nftcr hearing Mr. Baker's story rendered a ver dict of the murder of Mrs. Baker nnd the child by the two negroes nnd of Justifiable homicide on the part of Moore Baker , Jiilliv .Vfarloivo at Iloj il'H. Ill this ago ot aggrcsalvo materialism , when mclo'drama and farce are running rampant , It la n blessed relief to get n\voy from the patter of the clover moderns who dominate the stage of today , and for a time bo permitted to breathe the atmosphere which permeates Sheridan Know lea * "Lovo Chase. " revived last evening nt Bojd'a by charming Julia Marlowe and her exceedingly capable company of players. Aa a draiuitlst Know lea has some high claims to fame , his "Vlrglnlus" nnd "The Hunchback" remaining with ua as brilliant successes , still holding the boards against the hot house efforts of some of the present school ot dramatic builders. In point of the Imagination which springs from the sense of beauty , however , Knowles was not equal to some of the Ellrubcthan men , who , In respect to style , had so much In fluenced him , but throughout his writings Is observable a keen dramatic Instinct acquired by reason of long association with the footlights and a literary style that was polished to A degree. Al though hU comedy Is not so delightful as his serious vein , being somewhat stilted and written upon conventional planes , the "Love Chaso" Is overflowing with mirth and spirit of a past era 'tis true , but full of a hearty feeling , with truth and human nature very near the surface. Although not quite being a classic , the "Lovo Chnso , " with the retting and ensemble given It last n'ght by this brilliant } oung artiste and her congeners , gives promise of attaining to the Immortality which ono hopes nt leant It will secure Miss Marlowe's Constance waa a perform ance of singular grace and charm. She brings to the part an enthusiasm that can not bo too glowingly painted , while her pos- Ulveness nnd her line artistic Instinct give added force and symmetry to a very beauti ful btago creation. What Miss Marlowe's future Is to bo that future alone can tell. At present It Is the ( lower-like youth of her personality which Is most Interesting to the close student of the clioma , although this young candidate for the place left vacant by the passing of Adelaide Nellson shows al ready In her work the profound appreciation of what labor will accomplish when con scientiously engaged In. There was nottceabbi a very great advance In her art slnco she was In Omaha last , but there Is , of courrc. still much for her to do toward the perfect attainment of her Ideals , which , thank heaven , lire the finest types , not only of Shakespeare's women , but the best In all the mimic world. Equipped as Julia Marlowe Is with beauty , grace nnd Intelligence , the secret of her suc cess is to bo found In the constancy of pur pose which she evidences throughout her repertoire. Some ono has very aptly mid that "genius Is Infinite patience In taking pilns , " nnd herein Is found the rea son for the great honors which are In store for the joung Engllhh girl , whoso early llfo was spent among the glades that Words worth loved so well , the green fields that Southley and Coleridge know "when all the world was young. " It la very much doubted If any company In America could give the "Love Chase" as It was given last evening , for where Is there a woman on the stage who could play Widow Green with finer appreciation of Its many possibilities than Rose Ej tinge ? A veteran In the rnnka , of course , but a vet eran who Is still fifty yearj young. Then there was H. A. Weaver , sr. , as Blr William Fondlovo. and there Is no one who could so completely play the character as this other "old veteran , " whose reminiscences would make quite as Interesting reading as Bur- loir's ' or , Harry Edwards' . Both these people bore themselves with quietness and poise which cannot bo too highly commended , for they vvere the living types of those who lived and reigned In London town when the century was young. Mr. Henry Jcwett as Wlldrako was quite as "horsey" as the part demanded , a bit too rough at times , but always manly , winning his mate In a canter as ho deserved. There Is a young woman In the cast , Miss Eugenia Woodward , who Is quite In line for a bright career , her assumption of the loveable - able Lydla being upon n most artistic plane. She reads with excellent style , and coupled with beauty , Is endowed with fine Intelli gence , necessary requisite ? to the successful player of old comedy parts. Walter Halo was a most acceptable Waller , while Mr. Coleman made much of his part of Truo- worth. It Is not too much to say that the mag nificent audience which greeted Miss Marlowe , filling the house from orchestra to gallery In every part , never enjoyed a more delight ful nor witnessed n better acted comedy than the "Love Chase. " "Under tlm City I.iinipi. " At the Fifteenth Street theater last even ing several hundred people found "Under the City Lamps" about what It was an nounced to be a realistic melodrama of keen interest nnd many strong situations , faithful In every respect to American metro politan llfo , splendidly played by a well balanced company. The author , Mr. Leander Richardson , made no pretension to originality In the com position of the piece , but It Is difficult to conceive how a playwright oven aa skill ful aa ho could with such a high degree of success have Interwoven Into a powerful composite whole the strongest fea tures of a dozen stirring dramas first played In real llfo on the streets of New York and In the environs of the great metropolis , the ma'ii thrpad of the story , however , being from start to finish a counterpart of one of the most exciting chapters ot crime in the annals of the empire state. Mr. Richardson and his friends are not wrong In attributing to this fact the remarkable success ot the jilay , this fcaturo being supplemented by scenery painted from the reality , whose faithfulness Is nt once recognized by everyone ono who has observed any of the lower side of Now York llfo Into vvhjch the IPeroIne of the play the abducted child Is dragged by the vllllans who kept her a prisoner for a ransom. But one docs not need to bo a Now Yorker In order to appreciate the splendid perform ance last night , nor does ho need to bo acquainted with llfo aa It exists In a largo city. The play la built .on u larger biala than provincialism or even of class. Whatever tha Betting , the main ap peal Is to the human heart that knows the strength of human passions , both good and evil , nnd to the mind with a sense of both the serious nnd the ridiculous. The cabt was excellent thioughout. The Fulton ferry house In the third act nnd the rescue scene were very effective , the en thusiastic applause that greeted the latter testifying not only to the actor's part , butte to the Intonso'nnd painful sympathy ot the nudlenco with the mlsforutncs of the stolen child. .

Mim .Made In till ) ClIMC , JACKSONVILLE Fla. , March l.-At 3:51 : this afternoon the Jury In the enso against Jamus J. Corbott , charged with VlolathiB the laws of I'lorlda by engaging In n prlzo nght retired to make up a verdict. SKteen inlu- utca later the Jury returned anil the forc mnn handed the verdict to the state's attor ney who read'c ; , the Jury , find the defendant - fondant not guilty. " A bioad smllo spreid over Corbett's faca ns ho heard these reassuring words , nnd the sports who crowded the court room would have cheered had they not bcon Informed by Judge Phillips when the Jury came In that he would send nnv person to Jail for con tempt who dared express audlblo approval or disapproval of the vordlct. Charllo Mitchell was present when the verdict was atinouneed. nnd ho leaned over and grasped Corbett by the hand and wills , pored congratulations. Mitchell , of course , considered the verdict In the light of n prac tical acquittal for himself. The proceedings leading up to the verdict were \ery tame. Court convened at 9 30 a. m. and the statu resumed the examina tion of Its witnesses. The attorneys for the prosecution tried to elicit testimony to show that the light was brutal and to make the witnesses admit that fiom very brutality of the contest Corbett and Mitchell must have harbored malice against ono another. The state , how ever , did not make much headway on this line and then attempted to Introduce the check for $ . ! 0,000. which Corbett received In public after the nght. All the witnesses had seen a plcco of paper handed Corbett , but all were Innocent as to Its character. Jaek Kcefo , who was ehief of police when the fight occurred , and supervised the affair , was questioned about the chock. Ho was nt the theater when It was presented. When asked If the paper was not a check he said he did not know The state rested hero and the defense announced It would Introduce no witnesses. Argument was then begun. The attorneys were brief and when they concluded Judge Phillips charged the jury. The gist of the charge' was as follows. "It Is Immaterial whether It was a glove contest or a sparring match or boxing match , If It conbtltutcs and amounts to a light as already denned It Is a violation of the law of Florida against fighting by previous ap pointment , ns the court has already stated. In considering the guilt or Innocence of the defendant under the second count of the In formation charging assault and battery , If It appears from the evidence that the blows wcio given aa a result of a compact which the parties mutually agreed upon and en tered Into and consented , the court Instincts jou that If biich blows were given In a con test which In the usual course of things and being carried on In such a manner as would not Inflict bodily harm or Injury to the per son , the consent of the person receiving the blows excuses the assault and battery , and the defendant under such circumstances can not bo found guilty of assault nnd battery. But If the contest in which the parties were engaged In was of such a nature aa , being can led In such way as In the usual course of things would cause bodily harm or Injury , and the blows were given with the Intention to cause bodily harm or appreciable bodily pain , the consent of the party receiving the blows Is no defense to the charge of assault and battery , and the party can be convicted of assault and battery under such circum stances. " With this charge the jury retired and soon reached n verdict of "not guilty. " The Impression here Is that the whole thing has been a farce. Corbett left for Now Oi leans tonight with the 'After Dark" company.

SAN FRANCISCO , March --In the all- pcrlor court today u decision was rendered In favor of the Stanford entato In the suit brought by W. A. R. Loose to recover the trotting mare Illmln Rose from Senator Stanford. The decision Is based purely upon the ground that Loose's claim la barred by . the statue of limitation. The suit was based upon the fact that Senator Stanford bought tlio brood mare Beautiful Bells form Loose In April , 1SSO. By her sldo was the colt I Hilda Hose which had been foaled February " 7 , 1SSO. The purchase price was $1,200 , and Loose main tained It did not Include the colt. Ho de manded the mare In 1S90 , nnd when the de mand was denied ho commenced suit asking for possession of the mare , or her value , $50.000 , nnd $25,000 damages for unlawful detention. Senator Stanford's testimony show oil that negotiations for the mare wore commenced by him long bcforo the colt was foaled , but dropped nnd finally taken and consummated In April. Ho nlwaya believed ' It Included tlio colt Illmln Ruse Ho kept nnd trained her nnd raced her for jears , and his claim had never been qunstlnncd. The court held that though the colt may not have been Included In the sale , there was a con versation from the tlmo ho commenced to use and train her If Stanford did not con vert her then to his own use , ho dltl n llttlo later when ho raced her ns his own The statute of limitations commenced to run from the tlinu of this conversation nnd therefore Loose's claim had bcon barred long bcforo ho commenced his action.
