WEE DANCERS IN Ia C|GALE."
After Nine Weeks Silence the
Society Stops Them.

The most absorbing topic OF discussion In
theatrical circles to-day WAS the action
Of the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children which ordered Manager
r. Henry French, OF the Carbon Theatre, to
stop the dancing Of the twenty little girls
who appear in the opera "La Cigale," now
running at that theatre.
The Society, through Supt. jenkins, sent
telephone message to Mr.. French Monday
night, stating that the twenty little dancers
could not again perform after that night
The children had been dancing for the past
nine weeks with the society's permission.
Manager French said to an EVENING WORLD
reporter to-day:
'No reason was assigned for this step, and
or course 1t is great hardship to the children
as well as to ourselves.
1--WE have been paying each OF them % a
week and now Will have to discharge them.
They were well taken care OF by me and by
the Company"
At the onlce Of the Society no one could be
found who could explain the Society's action.

The Niagara Falls express train was due at
Dobbs' Ferry at $40. The first news Of the
accident reached Ossman at $50. He did not
know OF the whereabouts OF the train during
that period. He knew where It was only
when no heard OF the collision. The witness
was so busy sending orders that he had no
time to inquire about the movements OF
trains. He gave all orders to agents about
holding trains ana to wrccking crews. lie
had no one TO help him.
"You sent out III Niagara Falls Express

quiring what had become OF II. After IL left
the depot you sent out the st. Louis Express

name.
Ossman testified that he Is twenty-seven
years old. lie does not look Older than eigh-
teen. lie has been Ia the employ OF the road

A Croton local was scheduled to leave the

Niagara Express, but II was held by Des-
patchcr Williams. Ossman did not know the
reason for that order. lie Was not notified OF
the suspension OF the trains departure, and

Charles Fairchiid, Of troton, conductor OF
the Croton local, which left the Grand CEN
tral station at 6.I7 +. NJ, said that his train
was held at DobbS Ferry, and that the III
iated Niagara ENpres, was promptly s!gnalled
by him aud stopped within sixty feet Of his
train.
MIR. wilkins, Of Albany, conductor OF the
Niagara Express, described his orders TO Her
rick aud what followed, as told In these de-
spatChes several days ago. An important ad.
ditiOn to his testimony, however, was the
statement that another brakeman, named
Creamer, was sent back al the same time
that lierrick was. He was to take up his
station about seventy feet from the train
"What became uf Croaner'" asked Mr..
Platt.

Commissioner Rogers asked:
al you had known that the Croton local
that was to follow you had been taken on
and that Ih0 train that followed yours was a

Ferryboat Orange Hits and Sinks
Central Tug No. 8.

There was collision in the North River at
1.45 this afternoon between the Hoboken
ferry.boat Orange and tug No. 3 Of the New
York Central railroad.
The tug was sunk, but the four men aboard
were all rescued by the deck hands OF the
Orange. They were landed In Hoboken but
took the next boat back to New York.
They refused to give their names TO the
officers OF the ferry company, and declined TO
make any statement.
The statement OF capt Henry G. Meyers. of
the orange, rs given out by Supt. Z. W.
Wooscy, Of the Terry company, is as follows
The orange started from her slip ut the
foot Of Barclay street for Ilobokcn at l.30
Pm.
I "In midstream, about opposite Chambers
street, | saw tugboat No. 3 crossing the
stream and headed diagonaliy towards us.
ave were about two ieng .hs distant from
/ the tug, and blew the whistle twice for the
| tug to keep on her way, and signifytng that
We would pass under her stern.
/ Z" Instead OF following this instruction the
tug blew the contrary whistle and began Ia
sheer around towards US.
"Thc strong cbb tide carried her right
down upon U.S. and although we reversed our
paddles We could not check the headWay OF
the lerryboat In time to avoid the collision.
| &" The tug made q complete semi-crcle and
we struck her amdships Oh the opposite side
I from that which was turned towards us at
} trst
"she stuck on our stern for several min
utcs.

! river by the collision, but they climbed up
On the tug aud then on the deck OF the
orange. The captain and other man had
I already Clambcred aboard.
& 'Thcn We backed on and the tug sank i'm

supt. Wuolsey says the blame for the col
lision rests entirely vita the tugs captain.

The card was an excellent one, and had the

that he will.
