period is the first empire of France, and

The play introduces a number of

work by Mr.. Herne, and all are admir-

of this famous comedy drama will be

ladies of Mr.. Robson's admirable COM

admirably suited to their wearer. The

Accident to the Piremen.

ladder wagon were responding to the
alarm from box 25 calling them 10
the brewery, shortly after two O'Clock
on Tuesday, the two conveyances
collided at the corner of Broadway
and Ann streets.
1t seems that the hose wagon went
down st. Clair and up Broadway to
Ann, while the ladder wagon went
up Main to Ann and down Ann to
the point Of collision.
Capt. Julian Kersey, who was on
the hose wagon, was thrown off and
to the pavement in front of the
Board Of Trade Hotel, cutting and
spraining his lame leg pretty Sc
verely. Mr.. Eugene Phillips was
thrown off the hose wagon and his
left arm cut open about two inches
requiring several stitches to close up
the wound.
One horse attached to the hose
wagon was thrown down and his
hind leg cut above the hook. The
horse attached to the ladder wagon
was thrown down and dragged some
distance by the force of the collision
and cut on the leg and on the ba,k k.
We could not learn who was to
blame.
The wagons were only delayed a
short time and then went on to the
fire.
