THE IHEATER.

The number Of public entertainments
given in this city during the summer,
have SO satiated our people that It is al
most impossible to draw out large au-
dience now. It is no discredit to the
dramatic troupe which have been pre-
senting plays to the people of Manitowoc
this week, that their auditors were few.
The merits OF a number of the actors are
deserving of more liberal patronage.
No company which has yet visited Man
itoHoc viii average better than the COM
edy combination of which Miss Watts is
the most prominent actor. She is .
woman of fine form and plays her part
with considerable ease and confidence
Her voice hiss metallic ring which with
q wonderfully precise articulation pre-
even whom the nearer is at a considerable
distance. The quality of her voice is too
pure TO properly render those passages
whose depth OF feeling require thick
ened utterance. Scorn, anger or any
passion requiring energy Of expression
seem particularly spited to her genius.
There are a number of others whose act
ing IS particularly creditable. Mr. Gil
bert gives promise of being an excellent
comedian. He is quite a young man.
but he acts with all the Judgment and
appreciation of Il man who has had long
experience behind the foot-ights Mr.. r.
3. Buck and Miss Gilbert are actors OF
more than ordinary ability and never tire
an audience Barton Stanley is certainly
the best personator of female characters
in the county. 1t is almost difficult to
convince people that she is not what he
seems. 1t is by no means pleasing
role TO an audience and while every one
admits Stanley superior acting they al
so confess to disagreeable sensation
while observing it.
The company will tonight present the
play entitled ''NAS," to be followed by
SANKEY'S presentations and farce.
There is a steady increase in the size
Of the house with which the company is
greeted each night. The price OF admis-
sion has been reduced to 25 cents. The
excellence of the company and the low
price of admission should insure large
house tonight.

ON Monday morning young man of
20 years, named John Blazy was killed
near the depot ut this city while coupling
cars. The coaches on the express are
self-coupling. When one OF the express
coaches are coupled with those used on
freight trains, the usual pin is used. and
frequently the draught irons slip By
ana allow the platforms to approach
within a few inches of each other. On
Monday morning the COACH was standing
on the curve and Blazy took his phase on
the inner side Of the curve. The draught
irons slipped by and he was caught be-
tween the platforms and crushed to
death. He did not utter word after
the accident occurred Had he taken his
place at the outer part OF the curve he
would have escaped uninjured as the
coaches did not approach each other SO
closely at that side.
Blazy's parents live in Kewaunee
county. They lately bought farm and
his earnings went regularly to pay for It.
He had been in the employment of the
railroad company for Z long time, but
only begun breaking one month ago. 1t
is said that he intended to quit the en-
ployment of the company the very day
on which he was killed, it being the last
lQY Of the month.

When within a short distance of the
switch, the enl ineer noticed that the
target on the switch Was reversed. He
Instantly whistIed to put on the brakes
and reversed his engine, The train was
stopped before it reached the switch. a
number OF workmen were engaged that
morning in repairing the track and used
one Of those small flat cars which are
loaded and then pushed on by hand.
The switch was turned so as to run this
car on the Two Rivers track, and re-
manned so until the New Londen train
arrived. Even after the train had stop
ped the men failed TO notice their neg
lect. II was providentiai escape. Had
tie engineers attention at that time
been taken up, lie would have failed to
notice the reversal of the target and ssf-
ious damage would have been done, and
probably some lives lost. The fireman

everything seemed 10 be IN favor Of an
accident, which was happily prevented
by the care of one man.
