adopt t ho stae as a profession. However,
when she was less than 10 years of age,
she pot an engagement with a company
to yla.v small parts in "Called Hack" and
" Fortune's Fool. " TS"hile her work gave
some promiso of better things to come, it
was not of-Mich quality as to create a sen
sation. She decided to continue anyway,
and was nest with a couple of stork com
panies in San Francisco. One of ihoso or
ganizations presented cornier opera exclu
sively, ami she really made a big hit. Sho
remained upon the Paeilic coat for tho
next three years, playing such roles as
Kliza in "After Dark" and Ustaco in
"She." In tho hitter role especially sho
won considerable local fame and became, a
public favorite. Sho subsequently made a
ts--,r of the south in tho ftbove mentioned
flays, ar.d rhortly afterward she came
very prominently into notice while star
ring in the cast ami south in"ThoClo

tion with this play she rested for one year
at a ranch she had purchased in southern
California. At the close of that vacation
she went east tj play tho role of the Widow
in lloyt's "A Trip to Chinatown," in
which she met with much success. While
filling this entiement she was married

line of work. She has, however, won preat
commendation iu serious roles from
thoughtful critics.

Flremmn Arrested
BnooKtTS, Sept. 8. An accident oc
curred near the Woodlawn station of the
Sea Beach railroad. While train No. 3,
drawing 17 cars, which wore crowded al
moBt to suffocation by excursionists, was
standing at the Woodlnwn station a wild-
rat engine, came thundering along the
j tracks in its wake and crashed into the
rear car, telescoping it.
' The car was full of passengers, most of
whom came, from New York. Many peo
ple saw the engine come tearing along
and jumped from the train and thus enved
their lives. The great majority of the
passengorii were on board at the time,
among them a number ot women and
ohildron.
A colored porter yolled to the passen
gers to jump. The runaway engine dash
ed info the rear car, smashing it into
kindling wood and burying men, women
and children henonth it. There was a mad
rush of surging humanity from the train.
The groniiR of the injured filled the air.
and the snorting and puffing of tha im
prisoned engine mado a deafening noise.
Severely half a dozen people kept, their
heads or wero able to render assistance to
the injured.
Patrolman Kelly, who was on duty at
the station, turned in several ambulance
calls, and Ave ambulances from the sur
rounding hospitnls promptly responded.
In the meantime the woodwork of the
wrecked carriage rnught lire and was soon
in a blaze.
Four ears were completely destroyed be
fore the irainha.nds were able to uncouple
them. As soon ns it was detached the en
gine drew-the ot her ears out of danger.
Four cars wore telescoped by the force of
the collision.

Sixty-fifth street and Third avenue depot
of the Se:. Beach railroad. It became un

the engineer and fireman from the cab.
it was Mated. It dashed along the track
at a hi?h rate of speed.
Kngine No. .1 was in charge of Engineer
William Mntler and Fireman Harry .Ian
sen. They wero on their way to Cor.ey
Island. Charles Petit was the conductor .
No one was killed outright, but half a
hundred people were injured.
Of the number injured ;I2 wero taken
to the Norwegian hospital, four to the
Soney hospital and two to 5r. John's hos
pital. At the various hospitals it was
said that some of the injured would die.
The police authorities, who have F.n
rrirrer Frsnk .Taseii and Fireman Arthur
Hoss of the runaway engine under arrest,
g'lve out a statement in regard to the ac
cident. According to this .statement, en
gine No. ii while shunftn.T on the tr"!.
was in dauber while going backward) ot
collision with another engine.
The engineni. thinking it impossible to
avoid this collision, reversed the lever and
jumped from the train, followed by his
llreiiian. The engine, however, jumped
forward almost immediately and started
1
evn the track at a terrific rate of speed,
suiting in the disaster to the train.

Several of tho injured ones hoarded other
trains and went homo, but those who sus
tained severe injuries were taken to the
Norwegian hospital.
The engineer and fireman after their
arrest simply pleaded that the fAlUns 1
down of the roof of the cab made it im
possible for either to reach the lever, and
so their staying on longer would have
been useless saeriflce, and every InstauC
they remained made their own eerape the
more perilous. Of course the railroad peo- I
plo would not speak. It is the fact, how
ever, that, assuming Janson and Ross did
not display cowardice, the first cause of
the accident was tho collision of the
switch engine at the station with a train.
Engineer and Fireman Jnmped.
Whatever might have been their own
personal fate, had the pair remained at
their posts they would at least have been
able to he ve shut off the steam or to have
mado the whistle of the engine shriek a
warning that might have averted in part
the catastrophe. As it was, the engine was
permitted, with a full head of steam on, j
to go on in a mad rush that was bound to
culminate in a collision, and this on a
day when, the road was congested with
trains, each loaded to its full capacity
with pleasure seekers.
An agonizing scene was presented when
tho wildcat, dashed into the excursion
train. All the persons in the rear cars
were either thrown to the floor or to the
ground. Fortunately the wildcat, engine
boiler did not explode, and it was fortu
nate, too, that, all the excursion cars wero
open, for in tho briefest, time Imaginable
the train was emptied of all who were
able to move. These who were unconscious
or whose legs were brokenand thero
were or least a dozen of them were help
ed out by an army of volunteers, who
were quickly on the ground.
A branch of the Catholic Knights of
America wns holding a picnic at Wood
lawn park. When the news of the disaster
became known, the festivities ceased, and
thnjr were not renewed until all the injur
ed were removed. Meantime the Knights
were doing all they could to soothe the
wounded. Thoy had a big task on hand,
for it wns nearly an hour before a suffi
cient force of physicians could be secured.
Piteous groans came from the maimed.
They clamored for physicians and begged
that sotneobcly stanch their wounds and
bandage broken arms and legs. They hnd
to wait and gronn for a long time, but ico
and stimulants gave them temporary re
lief. The women bore up quite as well as
the men.
MAYOR STRONG UMPIRED.
lie Officiated at a TSaaeb&ll Game Ilet-n-eem
Twines Composed of Aldermen.
MorxT Yxitvox, N. Y., Sept. 3. As a
mayor William L. Strong of New York
city has a good eye. As an umpire he has
a visual bias that will not be forgotten in
Wertehester county for some time to come.
On this account the village of Mount Ver
non has a grievance against him. It is
the general opinion up there that he can
not tell th homo plate from a ten caddy
and that is saying a great deal.
He umpired tho Labor day hasehaU
game between thn Youkurs and Mount
Vernon aldermen that is, ho officiated
for five innings. Thou the temprrature
became, ton warm, and the brimstone
kicks too frequent, and he called the
isni. ITo called it with tho ckv oanfi
lienco of a man wko holds four uees, and
the plethoric porpoises who were panting
around ths h.nce dared not say him nay.
As for the tJTMine itself, it was wonder
ful. There were several men there who
had upon several occasion seen a base
ball, but cone who couli! have been con
victed of catching one. Their favorite
method was to wait till the ball sturek
the ground and thou chu.se it remorseless
ly and roiouiictfsly to a finish.
The innyor umpired the game from the
center of the diamond. His life was cer
tainly safer thero ihnn behind the bnt, al
though he was kept pretry buy dodging
liners and h pping up ktingaroa fashion
to escape groiimh.rs. There were several
big men on tho Yonkers team. Some of
them would weigh probably 2.V") pounds.
It was noticed that the umpire never
made a decision against them. The little
fellows wore the one- that suffered. About
'J, 000 spectators wit nessrd the game, and
about ts ."iO'i was netted for the Mount
Veruon hospital.
EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.

suddenly tho sea rose up, and the ship
dived down deep into tho water. The
waves flooded tho decLs all over, and tho

manner. All hands were terrified, aud
the commotion lasted for fully 30 minutes
beforo it sertled. At first tho ship quiver

Doctor Kills Himself and His Mother.
Hot SfKlvcs, Ark., Sept. 3. The dead

mother and theu himself. By the side ol
Mrs. Remington's body was found a meal
cleaver coveied with blood and an ax un

oertain that our coal burns better, lasts
longer, and is therefore cheaper than tha
inferior article handled by some other
dealers. You oan depend upon our coal
