tations among the theater-goers of Los An |
geles. Painter brothers, the ia
nous head equilibrists and aero
bats are universally conceded to
be the strongest couple of the kind in the
world During the past week they have
been drawing crowded houses. Every one
who has seen them pronounces them the
greatest vaudeville stars that have ever
been seen in the state. One of the brothers
takes the other by the hands, tosses him
into the air. then lowers him until their
heads rest one upon the other, and sprints
about the stage in a lively fashion with as
much unconcern as though he were walk
ing casually on the street. In the same
position he walks up and down flight OF
stairs, lies down and turns over, and tue
two conclude the thrilling turn by playing
a duet on the mandolin and guitar as the
one brother carries his inverted mate up
and down stairs. Some of their airy somer-
saults are nothing short of marvellous.
Everything they do is executed with the
utmost ease and grace. They hold the
audience spell-bound from the time they
first appear until. after repeated encores'
they skip off in their unique position, with
their heads together, one standing upside
down on the other.
One of the most thoroughly ENJOYABLE
features of the program is the travestry
work of Jules and Ella Garrison. They
are artists of high rank and their efforts
are very pleasing. Mr. Garrison's recita-
tlo1S are Always III SOOu ttSte diii aio
bright and well chosen.
Friediander Bros. conclude the program
with musico-comical sketch. They have
a lot of odd instruments which they handle
in a masterly way. producing splendid
mvsic and deal of fun.
The matinee this afternoon and the re-
gular performance tonight will afford the
last opportunities of hearing the sweet
singer Carroll Johnson. Billy Carter. the
prince of jokers, Tina Corri, the charming
little male impersonator, and Walter STAN
ton, the man rooster, will also be seen Tor

THE BALLOON WENT UP.
But 1t Did Not Have a Man Hanging
On TO It.

There was a balloon ascension at East
Park yesterday afternoon, which was
a success in everything except the sky
ward flight of the aeronaut.
The big balloon filed beautifully, but
when the guys We're loosened the breeze
swung it dangerously near the trees,
and the parachute and trapeze dragged
through the branches.
The aeronaut held on manfully until
a collision became apparent. and then,
considering discretion the better part
of valor let go his hold and the balloon
scared skyward.
The crowd were at first inclined to be
disgusted, but when they understood
the situation settled down to the. enjoy
ment of the sight of a balloon ascension

premises of w. j. Hall at COB n street,
early in February Of this year, at 9:3o

who owned the wheel, ran out to grap-
pie with the bold thief. when, quick as
a flash, the little robber whipped out a
pistol, speedily fled up y street, down
Seventh and through the alley, still pur-
sued by the plucky owner of the wheel.
When near the mouth of the alley the
robber stopped for moment and al

surer and fired atain then instantly

short time afterward this man

the man who shot at Roberts.
He acquainted Officer Pennish with
the fact and the latter at once set about
working up the case. During his in

Max 2. Fisher was evidently looking
after the welfare of this same man, and
the two officers being friends. exchanged
notes and began to work together by
permission of their respective superior
officers.
In this way they learned the facts that
resulted in the arrest of Callendine,

MRS. SWEEPS NARROW ESCAPE
The Man She Had Arrested Really
Saved Her Life.

Wallace Whitley. twenty years old, of
No. 81 NewkirS street. the young man
who was arrested on complaint of Mrs.
Ida Sweezy OF No. 100 Wayne street, for
running into her while she was bicycle
riding on the Boulevard last Satq1rda v
was discharged by Police Justice DOUG
lass this morning. Whitley was driving
an ice wagon and Mrs. Sweezy was
struck by the pole of the wagon. She
was thrown between the horses and sus-
tanned several slight bruises about the
body. Her wheel, however, was com
pletely demolished, the horses having
stepped all over it
From the evidence at the hearing this
morning Whitley, instead of being the
reckless driver he was accused of being,
proved to be a careful eamster and j
the pole struck Mrs. Sweezy, Whitley
pulled his horses upon their launches
AND jumped down between them and
picked Mrs. Sweezy up. He carried her
into a nearby house, where some kind
adde's attended to her. Mrs. Sweezy
this morning admitted that some one
had carried her into the house, but she
did not know who it was. She evidently
did not want to give young Whitley the
credit for saving her life. If he had lost
his head and the horses gone on, the
wheels of the ice wagon would have
surely passed over her, and a miracle
would only nave saved her life.

FOUGHT OVER AN OLD STRIKE.
Switchman McDermott Found I'm
cOnsciOuk Beside the Track.

The Ocean avenue police were notified
at seven o'clock last evening by tele-
phone from headquarters that there was
some trouble at the Claremont avenue
station of the Central Railroad. Police
man Ernst was sent to that place and
found lying beside the track, some dis
taEce from the station, a man in an
unconscious condition.
The man had cuts both under and
above his right eye and on the back of
his head. The station master told the
officer that he had been lying where
found by the policeman a long time and
he thought he had been struck by a
train. He was removed to the police sta
ton IN the patrol wagon and DR.. Hol-
lister called to attend him. After an
examination of his wounds and condi-
ton the physician refused to do any
thing for him, declaring that he was
under the influence of liquor and his in
juries only slight.
h injured man revived in a short
time and gave his name as William Nc
Dernott of No. SIS Maple street, Lay
fayette. He said he is a switchman at
the Jersey avenue crossing of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. Yesterday he was at
Salter's Casino and started home on a
train from Centreville in company with
Frank August, a brakeman from Mauch
Chunk, and several other railroad men.
They got into a dispute over the strike
of two years ago and finally came to
blows, when August struck him on the
head and face with an iron bar and
knocked him off the train.
McDermott's wounds had more the an
pearance of being inflicted by kicks than
by some heavy weapon, and it is be-
lieved that he and his companions left
the train at Claremont and started to
walk down to Jersey avenue and got
into a fight on the way.
Sergeant Tourney dressed his wounds
and Policeman Ernest saw him safely
