an Injunction.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The pro-
duction Of the play entitled "a Crime
Of . Century" which was placed on
the stage of the Alcazar theatre, was
stopped in the middle Of the third act,
just at the point where Dubois, the
character which is supposed to imper-
senate Durrant. was about to drag a
young woman to the belfry of a church.
Sheriff Wheland and his deputies
marched on the stage and arrested the
performers, IL in all.
The manager of the theater was also
placed under arrest. The manager
stepped before the curtain and made a
speech in which he claimed he Lad the
right to produce the play, but he was
taken into custody nevertheless. for
disobeying the order made by Judge
Murphy restraining him from putting
the piece on the stage. A great crowd
attended the performance which was
Kissed at intervals. The whole COM
pany spent the night in Jail.

A BAD WRECK.

Montana Ore Train Goes Through q
Bridge-One Killed.
HARTFORD, Mon, July 31.-One of
the worst wrecks that has taken place
for long time on the Montana Gem
trail occurred to an ore train about q
mile and q half east of Wickes. A
wheel broke ON one of the cars
just as it struck small
bridge, breaking it and letting
IS cars drop through. The engine and
one car passed over to the east side,
leaving the caboose and one car on the
west side Of the ditch. The brakemen
were on top of the cars and jumped
when they were going through the
bridge. One was pretty badly skinned
and bruised. The other was unhurt.
A negro who was beating his way was
covered by the wreck and killed.

EXPECTING TROUBLE
Feeling Over the New Omaha
Police Law Has Become
Intense.
LIKELY TO BE TWO FORCES
More Moderate Element sIsi In.
! Favor Of a Settlement by
j the Courts.

OMAHA, July S1.-As the first day of
August approaches, the day upon
which the Churchill Russell A. p. A.
law goes into effect the interest In POI
lice matters becomes intensified among
all classes of Atizens. Ever since the
appointment of Chief Of Police White
Of the present board of fire and police
commissioners, and until last Sunday.
the opinion generally prevailed that an
armed conflict was almost unavoidable
if two rival police and fire commissions
were set DIP. The malcontents and po-
lice plotters have been in almost con-
slant conference with the members OF
the radical element Of the A. p. A.. Of
whom Judge Scott is the head, and At
torney Covell, partner Of Churchill,
the leading Light.
Nucleus for . New Force.
Nearly all of the % policemen who
were recently dismissed by the present
board have been enrolled as nucleus
of the police force to be organized by
the new board, and they boast that
all are armed. As a part of the well
laid programme, it has been announced
that Judge Scott had not adjourned his
section of the district court, and would
be on hand to issue any judicial order
required for the plans Of the new
board. Yet the real inwardness of this
statement became manifest when one
Of the band told an officer of the police
force that '.heu will be popping next
Thursday. Asked to be moro explicit
be said that the plan was to appoint
tie commissioners under the terms OF
The Churchill Russell law at late
hour Wednesday night, and have them
xeady to take charge Of the affairs of
the police early Wednesday morning.
If they resisted, they were to be ar
rested. These arrests were to be fol.
lowed by the arrest of Chief of Police
White and all of the officers of the
force who were not in sympathy with
them, and who were not ready to do
their bidding. Another part of the
alleged scheme was that Scott was to
be on hand and issue all writs that
might be necessary to aid in erecting
the machinery of the new law. Among
the more moderate element Of the A.
p. A., and the great mass Of citizens,
the universal sentiment is in favor Of q
settlement by the supreme court.

docks Of the Lehigh Valley railroad at
Perth Amboy are among the largest "a

vania railroad at South Amboy are

In connection with the handling OF
such immense quantities Of coal one Of
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is to keep their roll
ing stock in constant motion. 1t is con-
sidered loss Of revenue fora car to re-
main several days at a given point, and
everything is done to facilitate the rapid
movement of the cars, both loaded and
empty. For number Of years loaded
cars were kept standing in the storage
yards Of the Pennsylvania railroad at
South Amboy for weeks at time. At
times the company was embarrassed for
want Of cars to transport the coal from
the mines. The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago. In place
Of the long string Of loaded cars may
now be seen immense piles Of coal
When train arrives from the mines,
the various kinds of coal are sorted out
and the cars drilled to the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
to each side track stands a large derrick
with q movable boom extending diagon-
ally into the air about 80 feet. TO this
boom is attached a large travelling belt,
ON which are fastened large buckets. The
belt is operated by a small steam engine
in charge Of the man who manipulates
the elevator. As the coal drops from the
outlet in the car it falls into the buckets
ON the elevator belt and iscarried to the
end Of the swinging boom, where it il
dropped in the center Of the pile and dis
tributed by gravity. The coal remains in
these piles until it is required for ship.

ferred to the docks. ayGi lapfgs 20 tqitr
The immense piles of; coal usually
contain from 10, 900 to, 10. 600 tons each.
and are worth from $40, 900 to $50, 900,
according to the market value of the
coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
are 10 of these piles Of coal In the stor-
age yard, representing value of from
$500, 900 to $500, 900. TWAS discovered
recently that the coal rusted while in
these piles. This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. To prevent this canvas
covers were made at cost Of $1,000
each. When the piles Of coal are all
covered, the storage yard resembles a
large circus. The sight of such an i'm
mense quantity Of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents Of South Amboy are so accus-
toned to it that they never give it a Sec
ond thought. New York Telegram.

The Directors Were Satisfied That Their
Claim Was just.
Once when the miners Of a big anthra-
cite mining company were DESTROYS Of
receiving increased pay an effort was
made to induce the local officials in the
mining country to make such repre-
sensations to the president Of the COM
pany as would produce the desired eff
feet. This was unavailing, however, and
, efforts in other directions were tried,
until the directors offered to meet a
|. delegation Of the miners in New York
city and discuss the situation. A dozen
Of the brawniest miners in the region
were selected as legates-great rugged
men, who woald certainly make IA
vorable impression. The men met the
officials and stated their case, which
was that at the prevailing rate of wages
they could hardly get enough to eat.
The matter was held under advise
ment, and the conference adjourned to
luncheon. Then came the most amazing
display of appetites that has ever been
seen before or since, and the colored
walters turned pale as they saw dish
intended for the entire party retained
by one man, who speedily made away
with the contents. Each man seemed as
ravenous as though he had not eaten for
q week, and the caterer was at his wits
ends to provide for them all.
At last, when every portion had been
eaten and all seemed inclined for more,
a giant whose native place was South
Wales cried out Don't you worry
about no more fancy things Bring us
q cheese, and we'll make out all right. -
A cheese was procured, and the directors
gazed with awe as it speedily disap-
peared. As the last crumbs were disap-
pearing the officials held hurried con-
su1tation, and after awhile the president
announced: Gentlemen, we have decid-
ed to concede your claims to an advance
Of 10 per cent, for we are certain that
at present you can scarcely. get enough
to eat. Nothing but this pleasuIsslsllle
meeting could so fully, have CONVINCED

used to make it complete, and for it Sir
Henry Irving is indebted to the Baron

generously made him present Of the

No fire can get from the stage to the

Perhaps the most beautiful theater

are those at the Lyceum. to which !

square yards Of silk were used in its
manufacture. I lam told that the director
Of the Paris Opera was almost thunder

tion Of "Ivanhoe," he saw the curtain
Tor the first time.
The Savoy curtain must have cost
$500 if a penny. it's material being Of

DEATH 1.Y POISON.

By some strange impulse, Thomas T..
Smith, of Lake Mandan, Oliver County,
lost his life by poison, at the honse of his
nephew, opposite Washburn, Wednesday
morning. 1t seems a party of five were
at Burt Smiths place making hay, and on
the morning in question Thomas. after
washing went to the comb case to make
his toilet when he noticed some lozenges
of some kind in the comb box, asked jeff
Hotchkiss, VINO was cooking. "what are
these things" The cook being busy at
his work, did not look up to sec what he
had reference to, merely replied, "Oh,
don't know" Nothing more was said un-
til they were about all through eatlbg
breakfast when Mr.. Smith remarked: II
guess them pills have made me sick," and
Immediately fell owe. III a fit. Ono of the
party started for the advice and of servi-
ces of neighbor, but the stnicken man
recovered. long enough to say he had eaten
several of the lezeages IN the comb box
and soon after taking another fit the
regidity of cold death spread over him,
for life had fed on taking the second
spasm. These poisoned loze. ges had been
left lying carelessly since last winter in
the comb boz, and had been purchased to
poison coyotes, and it is said was pur-
chased by the dead man, himself, several
months before and given to his nephew.
Mr.. Smiths body was started east
Thursday for burial in Minnesota. Him
self aud family have resided near Lake
Mandan for several years. His wife died
four years ago leaving family of sever
al small children OF his hands. Two Of
the girls now nearly grown. Hc is brother
