The most wonderful outdoor perform
ance ever given is the Destruction of
Herculaneum" that is now presented
nightly at Broad and Dauphin streets,
Philadelphia. The vastness of the en-
tertainment, the gigantic scenery, the
veritable Roman Hippodrome, the scores
of famous performers, grand ballots and
famous fireworks displays combine to
make representation grand and inspir-
ing and one that is attracting thousands
upon thousands of spectators. Hundreds
of people from the surrounding cities and
towns have visited the great enterprise
and it has become the mecca for all out of
town visitors. Those who have seen the
beauties and great variety of features en-
braced in the Destruction of Hercula-
neum are loud in its praise. Never be-
fore has so large and beautifully costumed
ballet been seen. For the first time Phil
adelphia is treated to exhibitions of fire.
works equal to those given on Manhattan
Beach. The Hippodrome excels all at
tempts hitherto made to rival those Of
ancient Rome, while the scenery is posi-
lively beyond comparison. 1t is a mag
nlticent production from beginning tC
end and one that cannot afford to bt
missed.

Two Children Struck.

While two deaf and dumb children o
Charles Carlston, of Hightstown, SIX
year-old boy and a four-year-old girl
were playing on the railroad track Satur
day morning, near their home, a passen
ger train struck them, and both children
sustained fatal injuries. One died soor
after, and the other seems likely to die al
any time. Their bodies were thrown q
considerable distance and we're badly
mangled.
The engineer of the train saw the
children on the track and blew the
whistle as a warning, but they paid no
heed to it, neither seeming to appreciate
the danger. When the engineer saw
that the children did not get off the
track, he reversed his engine, but could
not prevent the locomotive from striking
them.
As the lever moved Engineer Werts
left the cab of the engine at the peril of
his own life. and, running to the cow
catcher, tried to catch the children be-
fore the train overlook them. He was a
second too late.
Before he could act the engine had
hurled the children twenty feet into the
ditch on either side OF the track, the boy
to the left, the girl to the right. Werts
sprang to the ground before the engine
stopped and picked up the girl
The conductor of the train raised the
little hoy. The passengers, startled by
the sudden reversal of the engine, left
their seats in time to see the two injured
children picked up.
The accident occurred just in front of
Benjamin H. Reeds brickyard. Neigh
bors and laborers from the brickyard
soon surrounded the group and the chill
dren were conveyed to their homes.
Before they reached the house the girl
had expired in the arms of the engineer,
who cried like a child Death was due
to a fracture of the skull. The boys
skull was also fractured and his face
badly gashed, while his tongue was near
ly severed in two.
1t was thought at first that he would
have to lose the tongue, but the doctors
sewed it together and believe that the
operation may be successful if the lad does
not die from the other injuries.

On the application of the Palmyra
Board of Health, Vice Chancellor Bird
granted temporary injunction on Tues
day upon Jack Hylton against the dump
ing of garbage on his place, which was
served on him on Wednesday morning.
HYlton will have until to-day to show
cause why the Injunction should not be
made permanent.
There were two fires on Thursday even
ing. About six o'clock the first alarm
was struck, caused by the burning of
Joseph Walace's large barns and out
buildings. Mr.. Wallace and his sons
were at work in the field some distance
from the barn when the smoke and
flames were discovered coming through
the roof. They all started on a run but
were too late to save anything. In the
barn were two horses, one valuable stall
lion 40 tons of hay, carriages, 5 sets of
harness, 8 fat calves, 200 berry crates,
moving machine and other farm utensils.
All of these things we're completely de-
stroyed. Willard Wallace, son, had his
face severely burned in trying to get the
stallion out but without success. There
was an insurance of $4,000 on the house,
barns and stock. The house was saved.
While the fire companies were on the
way to the fire, G. w. Cooper's house on
Second street caught fire on the roof from
embers from the barns. The fire compa-
MES were quickly called to 1t and succeed
ed in stopping the fire in the roof. Mr..
Cooper's insurance is 5000, which will
cover the loss
About midnight second alarm was
caused by fire at Matilda Folks house,
which had the roof burned off 1t is
supposed to have caught from the sparks
from the barn. The cause of the fire in
the barn is mystery, but it is generally
supposed to be from the new hay heat
ing, although it has been housed about
three weeks Some think it may have
been caused by tramps or matches left by
them.
