BRoDIEAT LoTHRoP's.
The Brooklyn Bridge Jumper in a Very
Realistic Play.

The brilliancy of ION the Bowery," as
produced at Lothrop's this week. is only
surpassed by Steve Brodie's diamonds
New York happenings, set to please thG
eye as well as the mind. The scenery is
especially fine for a road company, and
the view of the bridge approach In the
third act is very realistic.
The first act is comparatively quiet, in
Producing the chief characters of the plot
put in the second act there Is a memoir
able scene. The rising curtain shows the
exterior of Steve Brodies saloon on the
Bowery, and during the first scene of
this act some of the more familiar char
acters of New York sidewalks are por-
trayed. The SECOND scene is an exact copy
of the interior of Brodie's saloon. At the
bar on one side drinks are dealt out with
q lavish hand to the numerous patrons.
Here the bum gets in his comedy work
and there is a lively sparring match be-
tween the tough and the college youth
who is seeing life. The audience went wild
last night when the college boy came Off
victorious after a. hard two round fight
Tha countryman who comes in to sec the
famous bridge jumper creates much
amusement and shows he is able to take
care of himself.
1t Is In the third act the bridge scene
that Brodie comes out strongest. The vii
lain and his hirelings who have abducted
the. heroine, try to throw her over the
bridge. Steve is on hand. however, and
makes the thrilling leap from the rail of
the bridge, just as he did the day he be-
came famous. The fourth act shows
Chatham square and the elevated road.
and is full of comedy work. In the last
act the villain is brought to bay through
the testimony of Brodie and the girl he
has wronged, and the play ends happily.
OF course Steve Brodie is the center of
attraction. Naturally he is a good actor,
and one forgets the deed on which his
fame is based In seeing the skill with
which he handles his part. Burt Hart as
Jack Hobart. a reporter, wrongly ac-
cused of being a partner in a robbery.
does his part we'll and receives good
share of applause. Henry Pierson as
Thurlow Bleekman~ the Villain. has
hard part and judging from tho Kisses
that come from the gallery in lieu of APP
plause for such characters. he is unsur-
passed In his part. Tho comedy work was
done by William Mitchell as Dismal De-
laney, the "bum." John Cain as Isadore
MichelowslIy. a sidewalk merchant. and
F. c. Well as Abner Higgins, the coun-
tryman.
Of the women, Miss Lillian Verona. Miss
Bella La We're and Miss Claude Lor-
raine all have difficult parts and carry
them through to the evident satisfaction
of the audience.

Condition of Things
After the Storm.
MANY WIRES DOWN.
Damage Will Amount to.
Large Sum of Money.

beaming, sunshiny day succeeded
Sundays icy drizzle. The sun shown
through a forest of icy branches and
reflected all the colors of the solar
spectrum. 1t was a glorious sight.
The trees were magnificent enough
Sunday when clouded skies and sloppy
weather presented an unfavorable
frame to any picture. But yesterday all
was changed. The effect of the sun
was marvellous. It was like the light
ing Of a chandelier. 1t was as if each
tree and twig had been dipped bodily
into molten glass and set back into its
old position besmeared with its trans
parent envelope.
Early in the morning stiff March
breeze sprung up. The vitreous
branches snapped and cracked. Their
power of bending was taken from them.
Many branches that had resisted the
heavy dead weight Of ice fell victim
to the March breezes. Every street
was strewn with wreckage and debris.
No thunder storm or hurricane ever did
one half the damage in Worcester that
Sundays ice storm did.
1t was not altogether pleasant for pc
destrians. One could never be sure but
that huge piece of ice or newly de-
tached bough would come hurting
down from overhead. Walking was
dangerous in certain localities. And
the cracking sounds from overhead
made the danger seem greater than it
really was.
The telegraph and telephone people
spent the day trying to repair the in
jurtes done to their service. Nearly all
breaks in the city are now made good
but it will require several days work
to make good all damage done in coun-
try regions The Associated Press cir
cult through New England towns was
sadly interfered with. The usual wire
running into the Spy office by way of
Hartford, Springfield, Providence and
other important towns was dispensed
with. Instead, each office telegraphe
its news direct to the main Boston Of
flee, where it was redistributed by spe-
cial wires to the several offices.

A SMALL ARMY.
Hundreds of Llnemen Have Their Hands
Full Repairing Storms Ravages.

Hundreds OF Linemen Have Their Hands
Full Repairing Storms Ravages.
Yesterday was busy day for the
employees of the New England Tele-
phone G. Telegraph Company. A small
army of linemen in addition to the
usual force in the Worcester Office was
started out, going in all directions,
carly yesterday morning. but up to
o'clock last might but very little had
been accomplished.
The toll line service has been fixed
UP to some extent, although very badly
crippled at the present time Five of
| the Boston circuits are working and
lines to Webster Milford and South
| bridge have been put in shape so as
| to establish communication with these
towns. This Is the extent of direct toll
| line connection with the outside world.
Soon after the wind came up Sunday
night SO poles went down between Wor-
cester and West Boylston, cutting off
all service in this direction. 1t is I'M
derstood that IA poles are down near
Rutland on the line of the Massachu-
sets Central railroad, which interferes
with the Boston and Springfield wires
to a considerable extent.
All lines running south are down
Five poles snapped off Sunday night
near the ledge on Millbury street, and
three or four more went to keep them
company yesterday. This pole line
carries the wires to Providence and
the suburban towns south of Worces-
ter.
Superintendent J. H. Barry of Low
ell was in Worcester yesterday looking
the situation over. About all that can
be done where the poles are broken off
is to run okonite cable temporarily
until new poles can be set and the lines
put in their former condition. There
is no communication direct with any of
the suburban towns aside from those
mentioned. The Clinton, wire which
was the only one remaining at a late
hour Sunday night. went out of service
when the long stretch of poles between
here and West Boylston gave way.
1t is impossible to state the exact con-
dition of affairs toward Spencer. All
communication is done away with and
serious trouble involving considerable
hard work is anticipated. Had the
weather been sufficiently warm yes
terday to have thawed the ice, much
trouble would have been averted, but,
as it is, the ice sticks as badly as on
Sunday night.
1t was stated at the local exchange
last night that probably 800 subscribers
are without service. Yesterday morn
ing fully one-third of the lines were not
working, and although much trouble
was cleared up, plenty more was To-
Gated during the process to keep line
men and inspectors busy for days to
come.
Two poles are down on Washington
street, one near the railroad crossing
and one at the corner of Washington
and Spruce streets. A large force Of
men will be kept steadily at work until
the difficulty is obviated.

IN IGNORANCE.
Local Screw Manufacturers Know N 9TH
ing Of New Combine.

A dispatch was received from New
Haven, Conn.,, last night to the effect
that consolidation of the manufac-
turers of screws all over the country
was to be effected. The dispatch men
toned, among the firms that were to
be included in the combine, the Reed
y Prince Manufacturing company and
Wright Cotton of this city. 1t was
said that the combine was to be CAPT.
talized ct $1o,o0o,ooo and that the Am
erican Screw Company of Providence,
r. l., was the prime mover.
Neither Treasurer Cotton of the
Wright & Cotton company nor members
of the firm Of Reed & Prince knew any
thing of the deal when the dispatch
was submitted to them last evening.
They refused to talk about the matter
further than to say that 1t was the
first time their attention had been call
ed to it. They declared that they could
see no likelihood of their becoming par
ties to the deal
