4RHEA TO OPEN METROPOLITAN
OPERA HOUSE.

Perhaps the most noteworthy en-
gagement of the dramatic season will
be the appearance of Mile. Rhea and
her excellent comapny at the Metropol-
itan Opera House, Monday night, Oct.
18th, when she will present Schiller's
great version of Mary Stuart, which
has this season been added to her re-
pertoire and in which she has achieved
"A signal triumph. 1t may be stated
without fear of contradiction. that
Rhea fills most important, yet pecu-
liar place on the contemporary stage.
During the past few years, when near
lY all stage celebrities have We'd with
each other in sensational methods, she
has stood firm in her determination
TO uphold the clean, moral and artistic;
and has confined herself to historical
and romantic dramas of the highest
order The public is not aware what
a struggle such a course entails. The
true and steadfast loyalty to high
ideal always has its reward. Theatre
geors, satiated with so much trash, are
showing a decided tendency toward the
Legitimate, and are fayoring Rhea with
gratifying attention. This gifted ac-
tress il surrounded this season by an
excellent company and this superb
play viii be sumptnously costumed as
well as carefully staged.

LITERALLY ROASTED ALIVE.
An Awful Accident at the Raleigh Pa
per Mills.

A terrible accident occurred at the
Raleigh Paper Mills, Falls of Neuse,
some IS miles from this city, Tuesday,
which nearly resulted in a mans
death.
ed Ray, a native of this county is
what is known as back tender" in
the mills and his duties require him
10 i1e near the machinery which con-
sverts the liquid pulp into paper This
is done by huge iron rollers heated to
a very high temperature. Ray was
passing over these on a gang plank
when he tripped and fell. The rollers
were SO arranged that it was impossi-
ole for them to crush him, but his
clothing was caught and held him up
on them for ten minutes. His right
side and arm were literally burned to
a crisp. He suffered the most intense
and agomixing pain during this awful
Deriod. When his companions came
10 his rescue and released him, the sick
ening oslor of burning human flesh
could be easily detected.
Rays life now hangs in the balance
and his physicians do not expect him

turning, she walked toward the house
ana overlook Mrs. Dene, who looked at
ller scrutlnlzlngly as she came up. Had
she or mad she not accepted Major Lar
ron?
Colonel Prinsep too looked keenly,
Wlstfully into her face Surely it was
not possible that she had forgotten what
had been between them. She loved him
him only-he could not doubt that,
since he had surprised her in his bun
galoW kissing the words he had written.
Inc reason of that stealthy visit he had
lalled to discover, nor could he guess
what the barrier was that she had de-
clded must divide them, but surely there
was nothing that need drive her so into
the arms of another.
Mrs. Dene had been addressing herself

which the silence of the other two re-
NAMED unnoticed, and it happened that
as they went into the house for mo-
ment the Colonel and Jane were left
alone.
Jane looked up quickly. In her eyes

and distress-not love for one lover, nor
regret for the other

fresh inquiries about Jacob Lynn's death.

considered an almost shameless calm

''The murderer will be found out; they
know so much already, and more will be
discovered then"
''And you don't wish that the criminal
surprising it to be a criminal case
should be brought to justice''-with a
curious look into her troubled face.
'Oh, no-no! How can you ask t?"-
in an anguished whisper.
He was silent for moment, pulling his
fair mustache with puzzled air as of
one who finds himself in q difficulty and
knows not how to eXtricate himself.
Then he asked her in a voice as low as
her own: ....
Tell me, what is it you wish me to
do"
''Go away from here. Leave the place
before it is too late. 1t is the only
chance!'
And so saying she swept past him into
the house. He stood looking after her
until she had disappeared through a door
at the other end of the hall; and then he
too went in, and entering the drawing
room stayed some time talking to Mrs.
Dene, perhaps in the hope that Jane
might return.

explosion of the large 30-inch cylinder
boiler at the works of the Hollidaysburg
Iron and Nail company this morning.
The names of the dead are:

crushed into shapeless mass under the
boiler.
COZ EVANS, helper: fractured skull.

The injured are:
Samuel kepphart, puddler, scalded about
face and body, will die; Robert McMurray,
2uddler, scalded about the face and body,
viii die; Frank Cramer, superintendent OF
the mill, six ribs broken and head cut; Sam
nel Marks, puddler, severely scalded; John
broken, may die; Finley Ferguson, puddler,
severely scaded; George Moore, wheeler, in
ternal injuries; David McCloskey, boss of

wrist and ankle broken, internal injuries,
may die; Daniel Ounkst, catcher internal in
juries; William Harsock, heater, severe
body injuries; Daniel Ayers, puddler, badly
injured about body.
The only employees uninjured were Cra-
mer, the engineer, and Wesley Athey,
the fireman.
The boiler was blown through the roof
of the works 300 feet in midair and came
sailing down like a spent rocket, crush
ing through the roof i'll another depart
ment of the works. The entire roof was
precipitated to the floor below by the
force of the explosion and the works
We're practically wrecked. The eXplo-
sion was sufficient to rock the earth with
the force of an earthquake near the
works and broke hundreds of windows
as far away as a quarter of a mile from
the mill.
All the local physicians were called to
tse works to act as hospital corps for
the wounded There was the greatest
excitement around the wrecked build
ing and the families of the dead and
wounded were frantic with grief. AS
soon as the bodies of the dead and in
jured could be got together Coroner
Foust impanelled a jury. After viewing
the wreck the jury adjourned until this
evening. No explanation is offered as
to the cause of the explosion. Some of
the employees say that they were short of
steam before the accident occurred. The
Hollidaysburg Iron and Nail company
operates the leading industrial plants
here and it will be several days before
ODera tons can be resumed,
