Roland Reed.

In so much as this popular actor appears
in his popular play 'Cheek," at Powers
Opera House, Friday evening, the subjoined
taken from the Philadelphia CaU will be of
interest:
Roland Reed has often been seen by Phila-
delphia audiences III his amusing impersona-
zion of the bold and ubiquitous reporter,
Dick Smythe, in Fred Marsden's funny
comedy drama, styled "Cheek," and he is
always given cordial welcome here, as was
shown by his reception at the Chestnut Street
Theater. Mr.. Reed is vivacious actor, and
full of mirth in himself He sang as well as
ever, and his pretty medleys evoked hearty
applause. The cast Is nearly the same as
that seen here last season. Miss Blanche
Vaughan and Miss Alice Hastings gave the
star very creditable support. The scenic ar
rangements are very good, especially the
view of Madison Square illuminated with
electric lights.

said many papers which the prosecuting at

taken them away again. First missed Ella
Shannon's statement this fall.
III. A. Smith sworn: Had heard that girl

A RAILROAD WRECK.
CAUSED BY A SLIDE or ROCKS.
The Atlantic cypress Bound South
on the West Shore Wrecked
Opposite Poughkeepsie.

PoUGHxREPsIE, n. Y, Dec. l6.--The At
lautie Express bound South on the West
Shore Railroad crashed into slide of rocks
half mile north of Highland, opposite this
city, just before o'clock this morning.
The train was composed of the engine, bag
gage ear, smoker, two coaches and four
sleepers. One sleeper, two coaches and the
baggage and smoking car were burned. The
fireman, James German, had a leg broken.
Two passengers in the smoking car were
badly injured. man on guard near
the place of the accident found the tack
covered with rocks just fallen from the banks.
He started back to warn the approaching
train, but was too late. The engineer caught
sight of the obstruction, applied the brakes,
but the train was going SO rapidly that he
could not stop il before reaching the rocks,
into which il plunged at full speed. The
engine flew the rail, but ran along between
them for some distance; then il struck the
rails of the north-bound track, and was
thrown upon its side and completely wrecked.
The baggage and smoker, and two passenger
coaches, bounded to the west side of the
track into a rocky gully, where they were
forced for two hundred feet up the side of
hill, before they stopped.
LATER-Several passengers are said to be
slightly injured, but it is impossible to learn
the names from the railroad officials. Fire
man Germans injuries are thought to be
fatal. Had the train jumped the track on
the outside instead of the inside, it would
have gone to the bottom of the Hudson.
None of the sleepers left the track. Within
ten minutes from the time the accident hap
pened all the cars that had left the track
were in flames. When the engine fell over,
the top of the cab was torn off and the en-
gineer thrown down the bank to the edge of
the river. He was not seriously hurt, and
hurried back to the assistance of the fire.
man, who, when the engine capsized. was
caught under it. The engineer succeeded in
releasing him from his painful position,
when it was found his leg was broken in two
places and he was otherwise hurt.
The shock threw most of the passengers
from their seats, and there was an immedi-
ate rush TO get out of the cars, some of the
passengers making their escape through the
windows. The baggage boy had shoulder
dislocated; a United States soldier, sem
fenced for desertion, and on his way to
prison, handcuffed, had three ribs broken.
Several passengers were slightly hurt, some
having their hands and legs cut by glass,
others being bruised. The fireman was re-
moved to house in the neighborhOOd. The
other injured persons were taken to King
ston. The cars were set on fire by the heat
ers, and burned fiercely. Several passengers
had narrow escapes going to the rescue OF
other passengers. Besides the four cars that
left the track, one of the sleepers caught fire
and burned. The loss is estimated at $780,

is clipped from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The story is good, and its fine dramatic
construction is so well done that one finds
his attention taken from the rising of the
curtain, and held to the close--for not until
the final climax, is disclosed the full depth of
the plot, and there is no chance of guessing
with any degree of certainty as 10 the finale
of the story, which is something unusual in
our later-day plays. The entire company
was far above the average. The play and

LErPsIc, Dec. l6.-The trial of the Anarch-
ists concerned in the plot to murder the
Emperor, Crown Prince and other person
ages attending the dedication of the Ger
mania statue, was continued to-day, the re-
port of the conviction of the prisoners hav-
ing been an error. Rupsch, one of the
accused. continued his confession as to his
part in the conspiracy. He reiterated the
statement that he had severed the fuse and
thus prevented an explosion. For this he
claims the credit of having saved the En-
peror. The president of the court did not
conceal his disbelief in the witness
story. Runsch further averred that he was
first iastrr c ed by Reinsdorf, tn lie der of the
plot to place the dynamite under the Em-

from being carried out By convincing Reins-

In Scotland there is a branch oi

was apprenticed to one of these
writers. The youth thought himself
a very fine sort of person, much above
ordinary apprentices.
One evening the master desired
him to carry a bundle of papers to q
lawyer whose residence was not far
off. The packet was received in sill
ence, and a few minutes after, the
master saw a porter run into the
outer Office. Pretty soon the youth
walked out, followed by the porter
carrying the parcel
Selling his hat the master followed,
and oyertaking the porter, relieved
him of the packet, and walked in the
rear of the apprentice The lawyer 9
house reached and the .door-ben

Here, fellow, give me the parcel
and slipped a siKpence into his hand

That night was fearful cold, some OF

rides, they being 80 cold they wanted
to warm themselves by walking, but
