CIsSY AND THE FOUNDING.
They Deliehed n Large Audience at
the Rockingham.

the Rockingham.
One of Frohman's most talented COM
panies with Cissy Fitzgerald as the
particular attraction ought to give sat
isfaction to any audience. This it did
undoubtedly to the packed house which
greeted THE Founding" at the Froth-
ingham last night. The company and
Cissy are certainly delightful enter
tainers and the play Is q very appro-
pirate vehicle for the delivery of their
entertainment, but no one viii take the
trouble to sit down to think out the
lesson it teaches or the moral 1t points
out.
1t Is one Of those plays, the action Of
which is so circumstanced at times that
a great many things can be said and
done without appearing offensive, but
which. If robbed of their occasions,
would be decidedly raw. It's story Is
nothing more or less than q cleverly
linked chain of ludicrous complications
along the marital line. In the unravel-
ing of which the author takes all the
liberty the present elevated tone Of the
stage allows.
After seeing Clssy Fitzgerald one can
easily understand how New York
adopted her as q proper fad. She is
graceful and pretty, but does not by
any means deserve the superlative
when comparing her with others of her
school,
She smiles and winks after her own
peculiar and winsome fashion, but these
achievements do not put her in the van
of dance hall graduates. There Is n
something about her. however, that Is
new and different from anything else of
that kind ana 1t Is this new something
after which New Workers are always
on the lookout that made Cissy Fitz-
gerald their idol for q season.
The leaders among the mortals who
comprise the company are Thomas
Burns, who played the part OF Major
Cotton. a henpecked but sporty old
boy: S. Miller Kent. as Dick Pennell,
the unfortunate young lover, who bears
the brunt of the disastrous complica-
tions; Charles w. Butler, eccentric
comedian; Clara Baker Pust as Mrs
Cotton, of strong will, and Maggie Hol-
loway Fisher, the Miss Usher, prime
old maid.
A sort skit called "The Man Up
stairs" of the same style as "The
Founding" was given as curtain
raiser.

AN EXCITING RUNAN AY.
Frank lIannis and Z. J. Goodwin Thrown
from Carriage on Washington
Avenue. but Fortunately Escaped With.
ont Injury.

from Carriage on Washin ton
Avenue. but Fortunately Escaped " ith'
out Injury.
That good horsemen are not immuned
against runaways nowadays was shown
yesterday morning. Frank Hannis
and e. j. Goodwin. respectively, in the
front rank of professional and gentle
men drivers of this city, had q miracu-
lous escape from serious accident and
furnished no little excitement for pc
destrians and drivers on Washington
avenue.
The runaway horses were a newly
matched pair which had but few mo-
ments before been hitched together for
trial. The horse that caused the trouble
belonged to a dealer who keeps his
stock in Cusick's livery. It's mate was
owned by Mr.. Goodwin and was hitched
with the other with the prospect of a
sale to the dealer.
Mr.. Hannis held the reins and on his
left Mr.. Goodwin was seated when they
left Cusicks stable on Washington ave-
nue.. The pair drove quietly to Vine
street, where Mr. Hannis turned the
team and headed them toward the
stables. At this point the dealers horse
plunged forward carrying his quiet
mate with him and when Mulberry
street was reached We're going on a
dead run. notwithstanding all the wiles
and strength Of SO good driver as
Mr.. Hannis.
The Speed Was Terrific.
The speed was terrific. Each occu-
pant of the buggy knew 1t was suicidal
to jump. Mr.. Hannis realizing the fu-
tility of trying to stop the maddened
pair unaided asked Mr.. Goodwin to aid
GO nd
the reins to no avail The horses
seemed only to go the faster, and when
passing The Tribune building were fly
Ing at race track speed.
Fortunately the avenue was not
crowded with vehicles, but in going
over the Linden street car tracks the
forward axle broke near the left wheel
Mr.. Goodwin tried to remain in the
buggy, but the lurching of his compan-
ion crowded him out and he was rolled
and slid about forty feet on the smooth
asphalt pave, landing near the curb
stone. Meanwhile the speed Of the
crazed horses was unslackened and Mr..
Hannis made forced exit from the
buggy in much the same fashion as did
Mr.. Goodwin. Neither sustained q cut
or bruise.
One Horse Badly Injured.
The team collided with a dray at the
corner Of Spruce street and came to a
halt on the sidewalk of the new Mears
building between two piles of bricks.
The pole snapped and was forced into
the chest of the dealers horse injuring
him so badly that he may not live.
Mr.. Goodwins horse was uninjured and
on being driven later in the day gave
no sign Of having remembered the run
away.
Persons who witnessed the runaway
and the lightning speed of the horses
arveled how the occupants Of the
buggy escaped with their lives.

Vchicular Traffic.

The Linden street bridge Is now open
for vehicular traffic. The bars at either
entrace were removed yesterday, and

vantage of the opportunity to make
short cut to Sixth street, or from
Sixth street over. THE approaches are
not as yet graded. but enough filling
has been done to permit Of the bridge
being SAFELY reached at either end
The best way to approach the bridge
frosm the West Side Is by way Of Sew

hollow at the Sixth street end of the
bridge that must be filled up before
Sixth street can be made easily acces-
sible from the bridge.

Say About His Prisoners

But little information would be given
yesterday by the Barring e. McSwee-

mysterious persons who were brought

said, would impede the work of the de-

THERE WAS NO CONFERENCE,
Reese G. Brooks Denies the Published
Stories About the pOttsyillc Meetings

S'O1iCS ApONt tuc fUtISNIIIc MCetIWSS
Reese G. Brooks and D. NJ. and T. II.
Jones, who were reported as being
among the Scranton men present at a
meeting of coal operators in POttsville
Monday, say there Is little truth in sIhe
published stories of the gathering. To
a Tribune reporter Mr. Brooks said yes
terday:
1.-The two Mr.. Jones and / went to
Pottsville Monday solely to look after
our interests in that region. On our
arrival we found that a number of sales
agents from Philadelphia were in the
town. and. as is often the case, O large
number of coal men, who, like our
selves. have property in that region, but
who live in other cities. We met and
talkd1 with many Of them during the
day and evening, but to my knowledge
there was no meeting, nor do I believe
the coal men congregated there for any
such purpose"
Mr.. Brooks pronounced the story pub
lished in Tuesdays Pottsville Miners
journal as a canard, and said the fol-
lowing excerpt from the article Is a
fabrication:
What the Journal Said.
"While no inside information as to the
meaning of last nights gathering could
be obtained, one thing Is certain that
Pottsville and her surroundings will en-
10y a new era of prosperity by the time
the landed interests of these gentlemen
are made to yield their dusky treasures.
ard that time Is not very far off. If the
remarks overheard by a reporter have
any significance. the meeting last night
may have formulated plans which will
not only multiply the number Of our
coal industries. but diversity our manu-

''They were to the effect that the big
coal carriers and producers of the
northern coal fields were going to con-
centrate against the Reading and con-
troll most of the anthracite output. not
only In the Luzerne and Lackawanna
regions. but In the Schuylkill region as
we'll. The beggarly low price OF coal
during the past summer Is attributed
by some to the Reading, whether we'll

losses caused by such a fall in prices

'Pottsville will be the big coal
metropolis OF the battle ground and will
bear the same relation to this mighty
revival of industrial activity that
Scranton holds with the phenomenal
development OF the Lackawanna coal
fields. A bank Is talked Of also. With

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Los Angeles Theater-The production
of The War OF Wealth will he an event
of unusual Importance. 1t was produced
late last season at the best tneater In
Philadel pha-the Chestnut Street opera
house-where it made q .tinct and en-
phatio hit. No production nj tie year
attracted so much attention.
The story Is clear, simple and dra.
matte, and is told with admirable direct
ness. The hero is strong, manly figure
a banker whose life has been spent in
the west, and who, by the exercise of en-
ergy, honesty ard business sagacity has
accunu lated fortune. Like manv 9TH
ers who have acquired vast fortunes as
the fruit o. their industry in the great
west. this MAJ seeks larger fields, and at
the opening of the play he isat the head
of great banking institution in New
York. the acting and managing head of
when he is junior partner, who happens
to be the son OF an old friend of the pres
ident. and in whom, OF course. unlimited
confidence is reposed. Speculation plays
an important pant IN the Development
OF the story, and in time it accomplishes
the ruin OF ths Junior PARTNER who. be-
coming desperately involevd. deliberate
ly plots the ruin of the bank and the over
throw OF the man whose trust in him had
been boundless. Low the plot is oppor-
timely discovered by faithful cashier
and the villainy OF the unerateful junior
partner disclosed is dramatically told in
scene Of intense power The bank is
shown with Il great crowd OF angry de-
positors clamoring for their money Aid
arrives In the nick of time, which has
been secured through the agency of a
young heiress who is in lovs with the cash
Ter. and the curtain falls upon most an
mated and spirited scene. There are
sub plots which dovetail with mic. exact
ness into the main theme and combine
to make the play strong, well-rounded
and complete piece of dramatic work
There is "a young woman who has been
wronged early in life by the rascally jun
Tor partner and with whom the hero
falls in love. There is an Ingenious
young girl who sheds brightness and sun
shine wherever she goes. There is Il fine
old southern gentleman in the person OF
the ma iur, whose faith in his own CHM
erical schemes is as sincere as the affec-
ton he entertains for the old negro serv-
ant whose loyalty and love for his master
Is beautiful to behold. There are other
characters, all drawn with skill and adj
mirably played. Indeed, The Wa- of
Wealth is rs strong in character as it is
in plot.

Prefers Granite

Editor Herald: l saw an article IN The
stead OF Granite. Why tine architects or
any one else should protest because the
Jail front is TO re builJ of granite is more
than l can understand, as granite has
been proved and recommended by all the
government engineers and architects as
being far superior TO sandstone for build
ing purposes, and they act according to
their belief by building the majority OF
their works OF granite. 1t does not. as
is claimed by the report of the DIST, make
the building jail-like in appearance, but
on be contrary, it makes it handsome
massive and substantial. The most prom
inent buildings in the world are built OF
granite and they stand for centuries.
But the majority of sandstone buildings
in this city cannot stand the rain, let
alone fire, aud the former, as rule,
comes a good deal oftener than the latter.
One can see the sand that is washed out
of the stone making its way down the
face of the building. Anyone with fair
judgment does not have to hesitate to
consider which is best. | don't see Why
we can't have good. substantial .Ianite
buildings in Los Angeles as well as IN
other large citise throughout the United

sandstone, although it is the first time |
ever heard of it being such. The city
