At Freeland on Thursday Evening.

From the Chicago Dispatch.
A crowded house both afternoon and
evening greeted the first performance Of
Augustus Thomass play, "The Burglar"
at the Clark street theatre yesterday
Eugene Moore appeared in the title role
and gave forceful Interpretation of the
character of William Lewis, the burglar.
He was particularly strong in the emo
tional scenes and made the robbery the
most thrilling feature Of the play.
Little Lottie Briscoe as Editha divided
the honors with Mr.. Moore and won the
greater portion of applause. Her voice
is wonderfully we'll adapted to both sing
ing and acting, and she exhibited a
histrionic talent beyond her years. The
entire support was above the average.

DANGER ON THE VALLEY.
COLLISIONS AND WRECKS OCCURRING
HOURLY ON THE ROAD.

Wilbur's Scabs Roll Up an Appalling List
of CasuaIities-Men Slaughtered Indis-
criminately-Time for the Public to
Be Protected from These Murderers.
Those who rid 3 on the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, outside of the Hazleton divi-
sion, take their lives in their hands, for
the record made by the present employees
the past few days has demonstrated the
fact that the scum of the eastern states
has now full control of the rolling stock.
The incompetencey and ignorance of
the things who have charge of the en-
gines and who run trains is shown daily
by the frequent wrecks, collisions, delay
ed and stalled trains, mails from two to
ten hours late, and the utter disregard
they have for life and property.
The scabs are slaughtering one another
at the rate of half a dozen a day.
Nobody but the company will ever
know the cost of the strike or the loss of
life, as the officials absolutely refuse to
acknowledge the wrecks on the road, but
they cannot hide from the public the
disabled engines, the cars destroyed or
the mangled remains of the scabs whose
souls are blown into eternity daily.
President Wilbur's pride alone is the
cause of the strike continuing, and
through his pride the property of the
company is being smashed and burned
by the poor apologies for men in whose
care he has placed the road
1t is time halt is called. The public
is entitled to protection from these MUIR
derers, and there is surely some law that
can be invoked to bring the autocrat at
Bethlehem to his senses.
The company is defeated, but the
stubborness of the high -salaried officials
prevents them from saying 80, and it
seems they are determined to allow
every engine and car to be destroyed be-
fore they will give the strikers justice.

A DAY OF WRECKS.
1t Was Black Friday for Scabs on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.

A wreck occurred at l o'clock on Fri
day afternoon at Fairview. Engine No.
4O2 pushed engine 394 and freight train
from White Haven to Glen Summit and
then cut loose. No. 394 with the train
went on and stopped at the Gracedale
tank for water, when No. 402 came
around the curve at the rate of thirty
miles and hour and dashed into the
caboose in the rear of No. 1894. Engine
4O2, the caboose and half dozen freight
cars were badly wrecked, and the mass
of debris caught fire from the stove in
the caboose. Two brakemen, Frank
Wilson, of New York, and James Nc
Cabe, of Jersey City, were in the caboose
and were pined under the wreck and
slowly roasted to death. Their cries
could be heard, but. they could not be
reached. Later their bodies, almost
burned to a crisp, were extricated. The
uninjured portion of the train was pulled
away from the wreck, which was all
consumed.
Another wreck occurred the same
morning at North Wilkes-Barre. A
freight train leaving Wilkes Barre about
midnight remained intact until it reach
ed point near the Conyngham breaker,
where the two last cars parted and the
train sped on and left the two cars stand
ing on the main line. Passenger train
10 due to leave that city north at 40 a.
M did not leave until about 5 O'Clock.
Going at good speed it crashed into the
two freight cars about that time. The
engine with the two freight cars were
wrecked and the firemen, Peter Sweeney,
OF Sayre, so severely injured internally
that he died that afternoon.
A collision occurred south of Hazleton
on Friday night, in which a shifting en-,
gine ran full speed into the Pottsville
express. A heavy snowstorm prevailed
at the time, which prevented the engi-
neers from seeing any distance ahead of
them. The shifter was about to reverse
her ends and ran down the "Y" for that
purpose. Just as she approached the
western switch the express dashed over
it and the next instant both engines
came together with tremendous force.
The shifting engine left the track, but
still held the express train, bringing the
latter to full stop and throwing the
passengers about the cars promiscuously.
The shifting engine was wrecked COM
pletely. The other locomotive was
badly damaged by the scabs neglect.

News Along the Line.

The following brief paragraphs, all
obtained from reliable sources, show

then died.

An engine went over the embankment,
at Glen Summit, although the engineer
was signaled to back from the open
switch.
Central officials have forbidden their
employees to lend any assistance to the
scabs on the Valley.
Two hundred and forty coal and iron
"thugs" are on duty at Wilkes Barre,
and every train on the road carries from
five to twenty of these armed "bums."

Wiles-Barre had seven passengers on
board, and took nine hours to cover the
distance.
Up to Friday night twenty seven en-
gines with their crown sheets burned
were lying in the Wilkes Barre round
house. They represent at least $50, 900
worth of damage.
Last nights storm caused many scabs
to desert.
The Hazleton and Mahanoy divisions
are reported to be tied up tighter today
than at any time since the strike began.
Coal and iron policemen at Pittston
try to provoke quarrels with the strikers.

all scabs discharged" is the ultmatum
of the men.
Several passenger trains on the Wyom-
ing division have been taken off.

and the Central and D. & H. trains are

A freight train was parted by the sud-
den jerking of the engineer above White
Haven early Saturday morning. No no.
tice was taken of it, and the last part of
the train came through to White Haven,
where it stopped in the centre of the
town. Another freight came rushing
along, the engine plowed through the
caboose, set it on fire and threw the
burning timbers in every direction. The
engine and cars were completely des-
troyed, tracks were torn up and traffic
stopped for twelve hours. Three scabs
were reported missing.
The burning cars set fire to Rhunke's
hotel, Ricker's store, Cramer's store, J..
Feist's residence, several stables and
outbuildings, all of which were more or
less destroyed. The strikers worked
nobly to save the town from destruction.

The Great Northern.
In regard to the proposed extension
of the Great Northern railroad from
Hutchinson to Marshall, via this city,
the Hutchinson Leader of last week,
says:
While there is considerable talk.
based on rumors, about the Great
Northern being extended westward
from Hutchinson this year it is by no
means certain that it will be done.
The Leader said few weeks ago that
President Hill had not yet decided to
extend and this statement was verified
this week by letter to the editor
from q gentleman in St. Paul who
took pains to ascertain the facts in the
matter. He was informed by per-
sonal friend who is one of Mr.. Hills
closest ADVISORS that the matter is
much in doubt; Mr.. Hill is too much
occupied with Pacific coast projects
to give the Hutchinson extension con-
sideration aud that should he decide
to build the proposed line to Portland
no change will be made on the Hutch
inson line for some time. We're the
