Lottie's Ball Dress and a Ballroom Downfall
A young wife persuades her husband’s money to fund a grand lilac moire antique dress for Mrs Benedict’s ball. Her vanity and debt lure play out as a wealthy trader notices extravagance, the husband loses his job, a painter demands payment, and tragedy follows when a clerk’s wife dies and the husband learns the cost of pride.

Ex Senator Schurz nearly sails to Hamburg on Schiller
Ex Senator Carl Schurz planned to sail aboard the Schiller to Hamburg but was detained by German American friends in New York for a day or two and chose another steamer. Had he sailed on Schiller, he and his family might have been lost in the voyage. A French agent offered 2000 dollars and a gold medal for the best drama on the American Centennial with Victor Hugo leading the jury.

Engineer heroically halts runaway coal cars near Forks Station
George Shoemaker, engineer of a fifteen car Delaware Lackawanna and Western coal train, faced a dramatic chase when a broken coupling sent ten cars loose. He sped toward Forks Station at high speed, warning officials as the runaway cars thundered toward the Water Gap. After five miles, he slowed to ease the crash, ending with only a shake and no injuries. An Italian hotel keeper extortion protection plan was also noted with a Rome mutual aid association forming recently.
