PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.— The
American line steamship Merion from
Liverpool and Queenstown for this
port, which went aground on Chester
Island flats, in the Delaware River,
fourteen miles below thfs city during
the severe storm of Sunday afternoon,
was still fast in the mud at a late hour
to-night. The 1000 passengers who
were compelled to remain on the big
liner all night were taken off by the
river steamboat Columbia this after
noon and landed at the American line
pier in this city. Hundreds of rela
tives and friends of the belated pas
sengers, who expected the Merion to
dock yesterday, were at the pier to
greet the voyagers.
The Merion lies with her bow
buried deep In the mud and so far as
known h?s sustained no damage.
Tugs have . been at work ever since
the ship went aground, but have not
Fucceeded in moving the big vessel.
A lighter was towed alongside the
ship and much of the cargo has been
unloaded.

"A few days ago," says the New
York Telegram, "George A. Ade, while
conducting a rehearsal of his < new
comedy, 'The College Widow,' at the
Garden Theater, was greeted by a
stranger. 'I am very glad to
meet, you, Mr. Ade,' said the stranger.
*I too am a playwright and 1
¦would like to have some advice from
you. I have completed a play and all
arrangements have been completed for
the production except one little detail.
I have a scene where wild lions are
supposed to be roaring. I have been
unable to find any stage apppllance
that will make the noise desired. Can
you tell me how I can get this effect
of the roaring lions?'
" 'Just fine one of your actors %!,'
was Ade's reply."

BOSTON, Nov. 14. — The fierce
southern storm, v»hich started off the
Florida coast on Saturday and swept
up the Atlantic seaboard, passed over
the maritime provinces to-day and to
night had its center off Cape Race,
Newfoundland. The storm in the
provinces, particularly along the pen
insula of Nova Scotia, was attended
with terrific gales and an unusually
low barometer, the glass at Halifax
to-day showing a mark of 28.6.
Telegraphic and telephonic com
munication with the provinces is in
terrupted and news coming from
Eastern Maine filtered through to-day
by a most circuitous route. To-night
there is no wire communication east
or north of Waterville, Me., and all
telegraphic connections between this
city and points in the State of Ver
mont is suspended. As reports have
been received here from points along
the New England coast regarding the
ravages of the storm a remarkably
small number of marine disasters was
noted. So far as known to-night only
two vessels were wrecked, the Rock
land schooner Arcularius, which went
ashore off the Tarpaulin Cove light
house on Naushon Island, . and the
Nautilus, which broke her back across
the new Dog bar, Gloucester harbor.
In neither case was there any loss of
life.
The chief damage caused by the
storm was the crippling of the tele
phonic, telegraphic and electric light
service throughout northern and east
ern New England. Through the entire
area of Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont the course of the telegraph
and telephone lines is marked by hun
dreds, of poles that were blown down.
Clear and cold weather followed in
the wake of the storm.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15. 3:45 a, m.— -
The abattoirs at the foot of Sixth
street, Jersey City, are burning. Two
alarms have been sent in. but the fire
is spreading rapidly among the
buildings, which are of frame con
struction. . .
Trains of cattle cars belonging to
the Erie Railroad Company have been
drawn out of the fire zone.
Several large grain elevators stand
along the river front five or six blocks
from the fire, but they are not be
lieved to be in immediate danger.
The flames ran rapidly along the
water front toward the north and
were soon communicated to the docks
of the Berwynd-White Coal Company.
The terminal of the Erie Railroad is
situated not far south of these docks.
Great efforts were made by the men
employed about the abattoirs and
stockyards to save the cattle and it is
thought all were driven to places of
safety. ¦ ;; v "Av;

Very soldierly, manly and at all times

Fischer's Theater offers an attractive
bill this week. The new acts are novel
and amusing and win applause. The
Molassos, remarkable whirlwind dan
cers, who are seen for the first time
in America, are clever performers.
Bingham and Gabel, a musical novelty
team, play double cornets and play two
separate airs at the same time. The
juggling Thorns are clever in their line.
Le Mont's troupe of performing dogs
and other animals display wonderful
training and amuse the audience. The
De Nois family in a novel act and the
holdovers conclude a bill that will win
merit throughout the week-
Fischer's.
The uprising of the Wittbois is
thought to have finally convinced the
Colonial Office that Governor Leut
wein had failed to comprehend the
character of the native chiefs and
that he was unfit to longer remain at
his post, and his resignation, which
was tendered months ago, has been
accepted.
BERLIN, Nov. 14. — Colonel Leut
weln's retirement from the Governor
ship* of German Southwest Africa is
much discussed. The view finds gen
eral expression that he has been too
optimistic in his judgment of the na
tives and did not comprehend the
treacherous character of the chiefs.
Colonel Leutwein was too kind and
too trusting, believing the chiefs were
true subjects of Germany until they
were ready to resort to open rebel
lion. The colonists complained bit
terly of his mild policy toward the
natives.

The surprise of the performance —
there Is always a surprise— was Luke
Conness as Richard Sterling. As a rule
Mr. Conness lacks light for me. He is
obvious, hard, rough in method as a
rule, but he convinced strongly in the
Sterling role last night. Mr. Craig has
the part of Warden and played it in his
usual direct and competent fashion,
with, however, a rare and becoming
note of softness an dtenderness in the
little love scene. John Maher was in
his ouptomarr useful evidence as Mis
tah Trotter. For the rest, the produc
tion is ptaped in unusually handsome
fashion and will altogether repay a
visit. BLANCHE PARTINGTON.
Miss Laurence fcas the role of Blanche
Sterling, and shows therein her usual
easy and accomplished art — and also
her something lacking of emotional
temper. But that isn't her fault, and
eg v. ell does Miss Lawrence simulate
feeling that, while conscious of the me
chanics, one ir- always grateful for the
result. Her Riajiche Sterling is to be
gin with a lady, quite importantly, and
again a very womanly woman. Eliza
beth Y»'oodsc>n has the Bijou Fernandez
ic!e, and very cleverly Elizabeth Wood
son does the typical Nevr York girl. It
is Miss Woodson's first real chance
here. a.rd the fashion in which she has
ts.ken advantage of it augurs happily
fur her future. Miss Marie Baker as the
lashior.ab'.e mamma fills in usefully, to-
ECtber with Miss Belgarde — always dis
tinguished — as Miss Hunter, and Miss
Ruth Allen, perhaps a leetle over— may
< ne say "tough" in connection with a
New York society girl? — as Clara Hun
ter.
"Stubbornnesses of Geraldine." And
all the familiar Fitch virtues, the
piquancy of the theme, situations, the
cdroit handling of the clean, smart,
portraiture, are here in liveliest evi
dence. It is Fitch at his best and »the
Alrazar at its most. ."%i
And we!! wears the play. The shud
der of the funeral scene, with its
wretched family squabbles, the "dark"
Bcene — darr.ned by all readers of the
p!ay before Amelia Bingham dared it —
the* clever, oh, so clever: Christmas
scene, all tell Just as freshly as ever.
The play is full of meat— it ivas written
bt-fore Fitch became economical. There
is substance in it for at least three
Any one desiring to renen- acquaint
ance with Clyde Fitch at his cleverest
—in "The Climbers"— need have no
doubt about doing it by way of <he
Alcazar this week. It is an extraord
inarily good performance. There is
not, of course, a Wilton Lackaye in
that weirdly powerful picture of his
of the moral incompetent Richard Ster
ling, nor yet a Bijou Fernandez New
York girl in the ca?t But a well-cut
coat fits more men than an ill-cut one,
and Fitch '« tailoring here fits more
snugly than anything else the Alcazar
r2nks have lately worn.
Miss Block has not suffered from her
vacation from the local stage. Her act
ing was done under all of the intelligent
control and sympathetic interpretation
that has always characetrized it. J. H.
Gilmour fits the part of the purged
bachelor wholly. Howard Gould's Harry
Harmony, though needing a little ton
ing.down. is acceptable. As the French
dancer Miss Eleanor Gordon plays sec
ond only to the lead in the piece.
"Hearts Aflame." Miss Block, well
groomed, statuesque as in the heydey
of the Alcazar stock days, was there
to sweep her train through a problem
play in the old style, and the audience
gave her right royal welcome.
The piece, which is a new one for San
Francisco, is of the latest variety of
New York productions, wherein the
"problem" is one self-evident and in
sistently unpleasant, and the atmos
phere not that advocated by the Rev.
Charles Wagner's "Simple Life." A
gay bachelor supper, a midnight meet
ing of unpleasant possibilities and all
the round of divorce", scandal and the
like are features in the groundwork of
the play — a play well enough done for
those that like this genre.
