IRVING AND TERRY COMING.
Left London Yesterday For Their
Fifth American Tour.

London, Oct. 15.-Despite their earlier
intention to take a faster ship, Sir Henry
Irving and Miss Ellen Terry. with their
full company sailed for the United States
this morning on the Allan Transport Line
steamer Marquette, which isldue. To arrive
in New York Oct % or Is. a large num-
Der of professional and personal friends
accompanied the actors from the Albert
dock to Gravesend. and d farewell break
fast was held on the ship. Among those
present were: Messrs. Comys Carr,
Henry Dickens, son of the novelist Rob
ert Tabor, and Miss Alma Taden.
TO u representative of the Associated
Press, Sir Henry said: While, this is
our fifth American tour l feer that we
have never gone to the United States
under more suspicious circumstances. In
the first place, the cordially between the
two nations was never greater than it is
at the present time, and while my per-
sonal relations with American theatre
goers have always been of the most de-
lightful character, it is pleasant to feel
that the two nations now recognize the
ties of sinship as never before.
Il believe that 'Robespierre, with which
we will opes at the X nickerbocker. will
justify my faith in transporting such an
elaborate production. l wanted to give
my American friends something entirely
new. and | had them much in mind while
selecting the piece. Then, too. it is al
ways an inspiration to play to American
audiences and Miss TerryS and myself
really look upon our tour as a means of
Frightening up our faculties as we'll as en-
pertaining our American friends"

Thomas Allen, a laborer in the en-

Wickles livery stable at a little after
IL O'Clock last evening, confusion of
the brain and a broken leg being the
result. The skull was caved in and
rested ON his brain. From the first it
seemed that death was certain, but at
an early hour this morning he was still
alive, but in very precarious condi-
ton. DR.. Root, who attended him, said
that there was little chance of his re-
covery, and that it was almost miracu-
lous that instant death did not result.
Allen, who has worked for Rush for
the last two years, has been accus-
toned for some time past to sleep in
the loft Of Wickle's stable. He had a
couple of quilts which re spread on the
lay, making a very comfortable bed.
Last night he was out drinking con-
siderable and came to the stable in a
state of partial intoxication. Johnny
Wickle, who keeps the stable and sleeps
in the office, asked him if he wanted to
come through the office and go up the
stairs to his bed.
