THEATRICAL.
The Spooners' Re-Appearance Here
Draws a Crowded Opera House,

The Spooner Dramatic Company
gave recurn date here last night,
which is to be protracted during
the week.
The interest and furo they made
during their first weeks engage
ment, when they played to standing
room only every night, and a
Saturdays matinee, has not abat-
ed one jot or title, but promises to
grow at each nights performance.
Last night over hundred were
compelled to go home on account of
not wishing to stand and the gallery
known as the peanut roost," was
utilized for seating ladies, some
thing never done before, in the
history of the Opera House.
The play, Falsely Accused" was
given last night and the interest in
it from start to finish, was great.
F. E. Spooner, as Levi Moses
and Miss Allie Spooner as Ned the
cabin boy, we're the leading char
acters and both kept up their usual
reputation for characters assumed.
The announcement last night that
the management would give away
gold watch on Saturday night
will give new interest to the plays
and during the week the Opera
House will be crowded. If you wish
to attend you should have your
seat reserved or else go early and
carry bull dog with you to keep
from being crowded out. The play
tonight will be "Colleen Bawn.'

Congressman Thos. C. McRea
deserves the thanks of all hard
working people, especially of the
poorly paid fourth class postmasters.
The other day while the house was
considering the post-office ap-
preparation bill Mr.. McRae
offered an amendment providing
that fourth-class postmasters be
paid $5 a quarter, in addition to
the present compensation allowed
them by law. 1t was shown that
the government is spending $28,-
IT'S, 122 this year on 1904 presiden-
tial offices, and but $40, 1872, 308 on
&C, $50 fourth-class offices. In many
localities the compensation, derived
from percentage of the sale of
stamps, is SO small, sometimes
amounting to but SO to $6 a year,
that it is often difficult to find per-
sons willing to perform the duties.
Although McRae's Amendment did
not carry, all acknowledge it was
proper and just.

The vessel is partly owned III Philadel-
phia' Her crew, consisting of ten per-
sons, lost all of their effects but they
were all landed safely by the Ticvitdale,
and will proceed to Philadelphia, where
they reside, tonight. The Dame it will

MOODY FEARS TROUBLE.

Asks All to Pray for Peace in the Elec-
ation--A Collection Of $4,000 is Taken
New York, Oct. II Besides Il service
of praise in the Gospel Tabernacle, in
West Forty fouth street, there were three
special meetings held Sunday in Carnegie
Hall, in connection with the closing of
the annual session of the Christian Mis-
sionary Alliance
Rev y. b. Simpson preached the mis-
sionary sermon mt the morning mission,
and as n result of his fervid appeal for
aid IL subscription was taken up which in
cash, checks and pledges netted the sum
of $4,000. Other collections were
taken up mt the later services.
Rev. Dwight l.. Moody spoke at the
afternoon and evening meetings He said
that the ministers should remember that
their ADMINISTRATION is chiefly spiritual
eff the Minister he said Mt the after
noon meeting, sis full of the Scriptures
he is full of the Holy Spirit. But if he
is constantly talking about capital and
labor and the questions of the day he
cannot have much of this spirit
At the evening meeting Mr.. Moody
asked the congregation to offer up
silent prayer for the welfare ''of the coun
try. "Never since the time of the war,
he said, has this country so needed til,
earnest support of all Christians to pray
for peace. The trouble that is springins
up between the two political parties can
not be seen so easily here in the East, but
out in the West where | have been twic,
during the last month, it is assuming
very alarming aspect

John p. St. John, of Kansas, once the
Prohibition candidate fol- President. The
death of young st. John quashes. an in
dictmcnt for murder against him aud
closes one of the most noted tragedies in
the history of Oklahoma.
On April ), 1895, Harry st. John put II
revolver in his pocket, left his law office
in Oklahoma City, and drove two miles
to his home in the country, where he
killed his wife, one of the most beautiful
women in Oklahoma His plea was that
he had come intD possession of letter
directed to her, that it's contents establish
ed beyond II doubt her unfaithfulness,
and that he demanded of her the name of
the writer. lie claimed that he pointed
his pistol ut her to brighter. her, and that
when she refused to tell him who wrote
the letter, he trembled with rage so that
the hammer of the revolver fell and sent
II bullet crashing through his wife's
brain.
Nobody witnessed the tragedy, but
their daughter. Il little girl of three, ran
into the kitchen and said to the servant
girl: "Papa has killed mamma." st.
John called IL farm hand, and, reading
the letter to him, told him what he had
DONE snid he was crazy, and asked him
whether he should commit suicide or give
himself mp. The farm hand chose the
latter alternative, and st. John immcdi-
ately gave himself to the police. lie lay
III jail for six months, and then Judge
Henry w. Scott admitted him to $4,000
bail. The trial would have been held mt

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 14--Through IL
misunderstanding of i'm order, the north
and south bound trains on the Florida
Central and Peninsula railroad had Il
head end collision at five minutes past :?
O'Clock this morning, two and Il half
miles below Swansea, about thirty miles
from this city. The trains came together
on an embankment. The engineers and
firemcn jumped and escaped without in
jury.
The engines of both trains were demol-
ished and the tender of the southbound
engine telcscopcd into the combination
mail, baggage and express car. 1t did
not leave the track, but was almost to
tally wrecked.
Baggage and Express Messenger w. d.
Lines and Mail Agent L. y. Thomas We're
pinioncd in the wreck, which caught fire
from the coal oil lamps.
The crews of both trains, who were UNI
injured tried to cut them out, but the
flames spread SO rapidly that, though the
rescuers were stimulated by the pitcous
appeals of the two men, they could do
nothing to aid the two unfortunates,
who were roasted to death
flagman Elmer was standing between
the second-class and baggage cars, and he
is supposed to have been burned to death
also. Two other cars were consumed.
but no passengers were injured. The
only evidence in the burned wreck OF
human beings is Il skull and 1t few bones.
The northbound train was not injured
further than the smashing Of the express
car. Messengers Farmer and Price
jumped and received slight injuries. The
trains were directed to pass ut Swansea
but the crew of the southbound train
read the order Sweden, station several
miles south OF Swansea
