State Road Station, said he had heard
the whistling Of the engine in the cut,
and also saw the efforts of engineer
Fisher to stop his engine. He was of
the impression that the accident could
not have been prevented, as the trains
were running very close togethel, and
tho fast freight hadn't time to send a
man around the curve, half q mile dis
tant.
James Kane agent fer Adams Ex-
press Company, was in the riding car
OF the fast freight, but got off at Mid

train. The riding car was broken to
pieces, AID had he remained in il he

after being removed to the baggage
ear OF the passenger train, was taken
to Middletown and placed in comfort
able quarters at the depot. No word

to day, but hIs injuries are so serious
thai he is not expected to recover.
Fisher and learn, the engineer and
fireman of the wrecked engine, who
jumped off TO save their lives, escaped
with only few unimportant brui-
ses.

one dem olished engine represent the
extent of the accident. OF these 10
belonged to Conductor Books fast
freight, two of which-the riding car
and the way freight Immediately in
front-uere completely broken up

rnE PERFORMANCE LAST EVENING.


There was a perfect jam in the Opera
House, last evening, TO greet the first
appearance of Smith q Mestayers
"rourists in Pullman Palace Car"
A very short time before O'clock there
we're very few persons in the house, but
they commenced coming very rapidly,
and by ten minutes after O'Clock, every
seat was occupied and people were
obliged to stand up.
The "Tourists" 10 one Of the best
plays of the kind that has ever been
presented in this city, and rs 1t seems
the public taste runs In the direction of
such plays there should be more of them
in order TO cut out some worthless ones
that now by some unknown reasons
hold the boards.
Travelling IN "pulLman Palace Car"
is replete with funny sayings aud do
ings, it is an absurily from beginning to
end, the object being to burlesque all
the popular plays aud actors and actress
es. The action of the actors while on
the stage Is continuous and no sooner
does member of the company conclude
his or her part than another is ready,
hence It was that the audience were
continually applauding or laughing.
There IS nothing said or done In the
play that would shock the senslbilIties
Of the most fastidious.
The setting Of the Pullman Car in
the secoI ana third acts was very good.
IL showed the interior Of Pu.lman car
very accurately. The company of tour
lists is made up of The actors aud act
resses now travelling in just such plays,
and where all are good there is no rea-
son for particularizing.
The performance was thoroughly en-
joyed aud should the company appear
again during the season they would no
doubt be greeted with another large au-
dience.
