MELTED BRASS
ON STREET CAR.
Bolt of Lightning Gets Into
the Box In Front.
MoToRMAN's NARROW ESCAPE
He Had Just Turned on the Current or the
Bolt Would Have Done More Dam
age--FaIl of Rain Resembled
Cloudburst,

A welcome rain arrived today though
in certain portions of the city the inhab-
itants would not have complained Of lt
had not come in such alopathic proper
tions. 1t was homeopathic in nature
in the central and southern portions of
the city, being a fine little shower, but
in the north end the rain came in tor
rents. At the extreme north end 1t re-
sembled a cloudburst.
Motorman William Young had just
reached the end of the North Cleveland
avenue line with his car, when light
ming struck the wires and ran into the
car. A number of passengers were on
the car, preparing to ride to the end of
the line rather than get out into the
rain at the streets ON which they lived,
The lightning struck within the box on
which is located the motorman's lever
and burned the brass fixings inside.
Motorman Young had just turned the
current off and was about to get out to
change the trolley when the bolt came.
Had the current been on the motorman
could not have escaped injury, but he
was unhurt, though it made him jump
till his head struck the top Of the car.
He got off the car quickly, however, and
pulled down the trolley. The passen-
gers saw him jump and they began to
pile out in the rain too. There were
several women and children in the party
and they were pretty thoroughly fright
ened. The motorman reassured them
and they got back into the car. The
lightning did not get into the motor and
did no particular damage, though the
brass ran down onto the floor of the
vestibule, in a melted state, indicating
the awful heat in the bolt that struck
the car. The streets in the vicinity
were flooded.

but he has undoubtedly stimulated the
interest always taken in his tours by
surrounding himself this season with
one of the most admirable companies
ever called upon to support an lndlV1d-
ual star. support, by the way, which
includes more prominent names than
are usually found on one play bill. This
is conc1usively evidenced in the names
submitted, where we find Frank c.
Bangs, Harold Russell. Edwin Holt,
Willard Curtis, Mrs. Stuart Robson,
Gertrude Perry, Ida Van Cortland, Ma
bel Strickland and Marie Burroughs.
Mr.. Robson's new play was written
by Augustus Thomas, who has equip
ped several notable American players
with vehicles which have been of such
invaluable service as to perceptibly
swell the bank accounts of the stars
who have acquired them. THE Med
der was built to order for Mr. Rob-
son, whom it is said to fit with re-
markable accuracy.
Miss Marie Burroughs, the leading
lady of Mr. Robson's company, has
only one of the best actresses appear
ing on the American stage at the pres
ent time, but a woman of unequaled
beauty as well. Miss Burroughs has
been receiving much favorable criti
cism for her artistic portrayal of the
roles assigned her in support of Mr.
Robson. Not only does her acting come
in for much acclaim, but also her
gowns. which have created a decided
sensation wherever they have been
shown. They are said to be models of
the French modste's art, and perhaps
the most elaborate and original in de-
sign and finish ever inspected.
Mrs. Stuart Robson is well remem-
bered as a member of her distinguished
bllSba p1S c0mnaOv fO,. pIlita Num-
Der of seasons. Possibly her greatest
success was scored as the Widow OPP
dixie in "The Henrietta"
Frank c. Bangs. the veteran, who
makes his appearance with the Stuart
Robson company, was co-star with
Booth and Barrett in the famous pro-
duction of Julius Caesar" at Booths
theater. New York, more than 20 years
ago. Mr.. Bangs was the Marc An
thony, Mr. Barrel was Cassius and Mr.
Booth was Brutus.
Harold Russell, who Joined Mr. Rob-
sons company this year. is an actor
who has for years been associated with
the best companies in New York. He is
deservedly popular and has starred in
the West with signal favor. Mr.. Rus
sell is accounted one of the clearest
enunciators on the American stage.
