A sTAGE-STRUCK MAIDEN

Leaves Home Because Her Young Man
Can't Call on Her-Wants to Go on the
Stage-Arrested to Prevent Her Leaving
With a Comic Opera Company.
A pretty, rosy-cheeked girl of 16 or IL,
with short cropped and curly yellow hair
was taken in charge by the police yesterday
to prevent her running away with comic
opera company now in the city. She was
neatly and jauntily attired, and was in
company of a nobby-looking man con-
nected with the troupe. When Detec-
tive McTighe stepped up to her
and requested an interview, as she was
promenading along the street, she glanced
at his attire, and deciding it was not up to
the standard of her companion, passed
haughtily on. Then the little detective
became forcible. He told her who he was,
who she was and what he wanted. That
changed the situation. The supercilious
miss at once became meek and docile. Bid
ding her theatrical escort adieu she ac-
companied the officer to City Hall and sub

mitted to an interview with Superintendent
O'Mara, which ended by her being placed
in the matron's care at Central station.
A. w. Greenwood, of 42 Cliff street,
called at headquarters yesterday morning
and reported that his wife's sister, an
orphan and q minor, had left home last
Sunday ana was preparing to run away
with the opera company in defiance of her
sisters wishes He said the girl was only
16, inclined to be wayward and decidedly
stage struck. Her name was Nora Hill.
Mr.. Greenwood had no idea where she had
been since Sunday. but believed she had
not been IN dangerous company. He asked
that she be arrested and prevented from
leaving the city if possible. 1t was on the
description furnished by him that she was
found by the officer
Last night she had practically recovered
from the shock of her arrest and surround
ings, and although her eyes were swollen
and red with weeping, she was still . pretty
girl. Her manner was rather saucy and she
declared she would not return to her sis
ter's home. Denying that she intended to
leave the city with the opera company, she
admitted strong desire to go on the stage,
claimed to have considerable undeveloped
vocal talent, and declared that her leaving
home was all on account Of young man.
1t was a young man she loved. She
wouldn't mention his name, but said he
was awful nice and there was no reason
why she should not receive his attentions,
because she was 18 and not 16 years old, as
her brother-in-law had alleged.
Regarding her whereabouts since leaving
home Sunday she said she had been stop
ping With respectable young lady friend
Oh Bedford avenue, but persistently refused
to divulge the young lady's name or resi-
dence, saying she would not subject her to
any annoyance. Rather than do this she
would go to Morganza or anywhere her sis
ter wished to send her.
$50 you will insist on going on the
stage?" asked Superintendent O'Mara as he
was leaving her.
Certainly" was her reply, self can Join
a good company. intend to be little
particular about that IF I can't Join q
frst-class opera company will try to find
something else to do. In fact have been
trying to get work in store all this
week"
Mr.. O'Mara says he will turn the young
LADY over to her relatives to-day. He ad-
mits she is rather unique character to
deal with and hopes it will not be neces-
sary to place her in the reform school.

THAT DENVER FAILURE.

The Orlando Metcan Embarrassment
VIII Reed-A Railroad and Electric
Light Plant Largely Assisted-Believed
to Be Temporary.
The telegraphic news of the failure of Or
lando Metcalf, of Denver, and brother of
William Metcalf, of the Pittsburg iron
firm of Miller, Metcalf & Parkin, was the
cause of general regret in business circles
here. Mr. Metcalf has been in Denver for
several years and was generally thought to
be one of the richest men in that district.
Mr. Metcalfs son-in-law, Will F. Reed,
who is alleged to have been the cause OF the
failure through bad fnanciering, is well
known in Pittsburg. He is a son of DR..
Reed, late Superintendent of Dixmont In
sane Asylum, and married a daughter of
Orlando Metcalf about three years ago
Mr.. Metcalf was a capitalist and through
his son-in-law, Reed, invested heavily
in several ventures that had won the praise
of Reed. Their heaviest venture was the
Mt Clair Electric Light Company, in
which Metcalt is said to have put fully
$500, 900 at Reeds solicitation. This COM
pany proved a total failure, with some
$152, 600 of liabilities Reeds personal
liabilities are placed at fully $780, 200.
while Orlando Metcalf, the backer, failed
personally for $112, ,610 so, while he claims
some total assets of $552, ,5S3 80. He says
his embarrassment is merely temporary,
and will soon come to Pittsburg to look
after some business interests he holds here.
Mr.. Metcalf was one of the owners of the
Fort Pitt Foundry, and was interested in
the Verona Tool Works Will Reed, the
son-in-law in question, is a brother of ex-
Judge Reed, of this city. The latter was
interviewed on the subject of the Denver
crash, and said he didn't believe it was due
to the electric light company, but to a Ger
tain project Mr.. Metcalf had on hand
called the Elk Mountain Railroad, as they
had been trying to market the bonds of
that road, which probably started the
crash. The road had been graded to coal
and marble lands, but no rails had ever
been laid,

powers He rang his gong and shouted to
the mule-driver. At last the man saw his
danger, but was SO badly scared he was
powerless to act. He dropped the reins and
commenced shouting at the top of his voice.
Kerrigan and the ill-fated car were then
about 30 feet away. The motorman saw
that he could do nothing to check the car
and Jumped for his lie. He alighted on
the hard cobble stones and rolled over sew
eral times, but was unhurt
The car rushed on. Before Kerrigan was
on his feet there was crash. The mules,
wagon and driver had been thrown over
onto the out track. When the mules dis
covered their danger they commenced to
pull the wagon onto the opposite track.
The animals had succeeded in getting about
half of the vehicle from in front of the car
when the crash came. The pole of the
wagon was snapped off by the blow and the
mules freed. The driver quickly made his
escape, but the wagon was dragged for
quite distance.
Finally Demolished by a Telegraph Pole.
The car was checked little by the drag
ging OF the vehicle and a greater number
of the passengers succeeded in escaping.
The obstacle was finally pushed from in
front of the runaway and it shot down the
hill at an awful rate. A half dozen or
more passengers and the conductor were
still on board and they were terrified.
At st. Agnes Church heavy iron wagon
obstructed the way. The car struck it,
throwing this new barrier completely over.
The runaway then jumped the track and
slid over the cobblestones to the right At
the edge of the curb stood big telegraph
pole bearing 20 or 80 wires The car hit it
sauarely, swapping the pole off close to the
ground. This last crash demolished the
front end of the car. The passengers were
badly shaken up and some were bruised.
The wagon belonged to Campbell &
Davis, the East End delivery firm. The
mules were slightly injured. Motorman
Kerrigan can give no reason for the acci-
dent save that the track was too slippery
for the wheels to catch.

TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC.
Morris 4. Mead Tells of Progress in Pitts
burg Electric Service.

Morris e. Mead Tells of Progress in Pitts
burg Electric Service.
Morris K. Mead, Chief of the Electrical
Bureau. delivered lecture on practical
electricity before the pupils of the Du-
ouesne College yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Mead commenced his lecture by telling of
the crude state of the electrical department
of Pittsburg 10 or u years ago.
At that time iron wires were used, which
quickly rusted by the action of the smoke.
Copper wires are used everywhere now.
The introduction of the Mcintyre sleeves
did away with the inconvenience of solder
ing. He described the ingenious mechanism
of the fire alarm box and how they detect
break in the current.
Part of Mr.. Mead's duties is to see that
the trolley wires are not charged above
certain voltage for the protection Of the
public. The Ere risk is reduced to a mini
mum in this city. according to Mr.. Mead,
compared to what it was some years ago.
At present there are 30 circuits. Formerly
there were only eight. Mr.. Mead illus
trated his lectures by some very interest
ing diagrams, and had on exhibition city

town yesterday afternoon between 8 and 6
o'clock with his car. There were over 40
passengers on board, and everything went
safely until Soho Hill was reached. Every
body knows how steep the descent is there,
and what dangerous place it is when there
is snow on the tracks. The road was in
bad condition last night Kerrigan brought
his car around the upper curves just this
side of Craft avenue at a fast rate of speed.
AS the car swung around onto the straight
track he was Mortified to see man come
driving up in front of him just short dis
tance below. He was driving q covered
wagon drawn by two mules and did not
seem to notice the fast approaching car.
The Driver Dumfounded.
As soon as Kerrigan saw the wagon in
front of him he reversed his power and put
on the brakes. The car glided over the rails
seemingly unmindful of these governing
