MANAGER ROSS BEREAVED.
HIS WIFE SUCCUMBED TO A SURGICAL
OPERATION.
Mrs. Lillian Wood-Ross, wife of Manager Wilson S. Ross, of the Hoboken Theatre, died in Boston, Saturday evening, from the effects of a surgical operation performed last Monday for the removal of a cancer. The lady bore the operation with unflinching fortitude, and seemed to be mending rapidly, but suffered a relapse Saturday morning. She will probably be buried at her early home, near Boston, where her mother and aunt, her only relatives, reside.

DENOUNCED FROM THE BENCH.
Wilson S. Ross, manager of the Hoboken Theatre, Sigfried Cronheim, proprietor of Cronheim's Variety Theatre, and Statins Pleus, proprietor of the Atlantic Garden Variety Theatre, were arraigned in the Court of Sessions yesterday. Ross and Pleus were charged with violating the Sunday law by giving theatrical performances, and Cronheim was accused of keeping a disorderly house. The men had been arrested upon the complaint of Dr. Romeo F. Chabert and others. Judge Hoffman said to them:
"You know that you have violated the law wilfully and persistently, and that if the Grand Jury finds an indictment against you, you will be severely dealt with. You have undoubtedly been promised immunity by some authorities and do not believe the Grand Jury will indict you. You had better not feel too confident in this. If you are rearrested for this offence the court will refuse to take bail and will commit you to the jail and let the Justices of the Supreme Court decide if a man may continue to violate the law at will."
Cronheim's bail was fixed at $3,000, Pleus's at $2,000 and Ross's at $1,000. These men have all been arrested on bench warrents before and are under bonds.

The proceeds, which reached nearly $2,000, will be placed in the Police Mutual Benefit fund. …Among those of prominence present were Mayor and Mrs. Stanton,…Trustees Acker, Rudolphy, Clerk of the Board Darcy, Wilson S. Ross, Harry Cushman and John Bruning."
