Another Dangerous Wire.

A guard wire of the San Antonio Street
railway broke in front of DR.. Herffs resi-
dence near the corner of Navarro and
Houston streets. The wire fell to the
ground. 1t was connected with the troll
ley wire above, and lay like fiery snake,
as it burned, giving off a bright blue
blaze. A. W. Robinson, formerly a con-
ductor in the employ of that company,
was knocked down four times in trying
to get the wire Dout OF the street.
Some time after the wire had fallen a
carriage came up the street, the occu-
pants were warned of the danger but not
until too late, as the horse suddenly
touched the wire and fell to the ground
as though he had been shot. Miss Rock
sy Brockway and Rev. s. William
son, the baptist evangelist, who
the ground. The lady struck her foot on
the wire and was knocked down, the man
took hold of her and pulled her away
from the wire, getting his hand burned
by the electricity. A young man jumped
from a passing car and pulled the
horse off of the wire. How he
managed to escape being shocked is a
mystery. There was also another person
knocked down by coming in contact with
the wire. His name is Arizola, and he is
a conductor on the Lake View line. He
stepped off his car about five minutes aftex
the wire had fallen, and accidentally
touched it. The policeman on that beat
was slightly shocked by touching the
rope tied to the wire. The rope was damp.
The power house on 10th street was
rung up and ordered to shut off the cur
rent on Houston street. which, after
some parley, was done. Very little was
gained by the power being shut off, as the
guard wire was lying across the Alamo
street railway company's trolley wire
connecting their current with that Of the
San Antonio system. At last telephone
line-man managed to cut the guased wire
and pull it off of the Alamo wire, and
then stretching it so as to keep it from
coming in contact with any charged
wires. The power house was then mott
lied and the current was again turned on.
1T was about two hours from the time the
accident occurred until the wire was
placed in order again. The was no seri-
GUS injury done to either person or
property.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Saturday afternoon Ne wton Beers and
company drew a crowded house at popu-
lar prices at Risches. The night per-
Torrance was not so well attended.
Last night McCabe and young colored
Ministries held the boards. The audience
seemed to appreciate them.
Tonight the Newton Musical Combina-
tion being week at this theatre. The
Stock company will be ready week after
next.
At the Grand opera house Saturday
and Sunday nights. THE Pay Train"
was the attraction, Both evenings there
were splendid audiences, though the
policeman who takes in the show
might be of use in the gallery.
The play with Miss Florence Bindley as
the ''ingenue" worked smoothly in dia-
logue and fine scenic effects. a moving
railroad train, with a regular Southern
Pacific style of train robbery, was shown,
and the villain kills himself in the last
act by taking a toboggan slide into a
mine.
The authors of U and |, the last comedy
in which Tim Cronin and Harry Standish
amused a crowded audience at the Bush
street theatre last night, call it a mild
satire on the New York system Of fiat
houses.
They may have been afraid that the
satire would not be understood in cities
where the tall apartment houses and the
New York system of running them are
unknown blessings, for they have made
the satire very mild indeed. They have
also given their audience whole library
of opportunities to think of something
else.
These opportunities are the best of the
entertainment. for the majority of them
are offered by Harry Standish, who is an
exceedingly clever Dutch dialect come
dian, and Tim Cronin, who is the most
amusing farce comedy Irishman eXtant.

CHINA on her Poverty

Chinese provinces in which the riots
occurred have distinctly declined to
be held responsible therefor, and
have declared it impossible to pay
indemnity. The inference 20 be drawn
is that China's circular to the powers
aims simply at delay in order to shirk
indemnity and, therefore, not be held
to account by Europe.
