CARBONDALE.
FIRST WRECK ON THE BRANCH.
Bad Smashup at the Foot OF the
Mountain Road.

A wreck occurred on the Honesdale
branch of the Delaware and HUDSON
between Farview and Waymart on
Monday night, which resulted in the
death of one man and the serious in
Jury of two more. Along train of care
had got away frons the crew and
Jumped the track at Swackhammer's
cut, one of the most dangerous places
on the new road.
Thirty cars were piled in confusion
at the entrance of the cut when the
wrecking gang, accompanied by Train
master McMullen, Master Mechanic
W. r.. Johnson and Or. H. c. Wheeler
arrived on the scene. Flagman Edward
Cavanaugh was dead and two other
trainmen injured. The dead mans
home was in Honesdale, as is that OF
the other two unfortunate men.
AS the trainmen tell the story, they
left Farview little after o'clock
and were running down the mountain
at fair rate of speed when at Swack-
hammers one of the cars left the
track up near the engine. At this
point the grade is very heavy and once
the car left the rails, those behind it
began to pile up, burying the train
Conductor Gilbert Tucker. Engineer
Wood Miller and Fireman Long were
not injured and began at once the
search for the unfortunate lnen who
were out on the train. Brakeman Sim
mons was first found in an IN conscious
condition and he was carried to ore
side to await the arrival of doctor.
Another brakeman was slightly in
jured, and after a long ana careful
search Cavanaugh's body was found,
but the spirit of life had flown.
The general opinion is that the rails
spread and derailed the car ana sCme
think that the car broke down. Notn
ing official can be learned. DR. II. c.
Wheeler made Brakeman Simmons as
comfortable as possible and about s
o'clock had him removed to Emergeh-
cy hospital in this city. He IS badly
bruised about the face, chest and low.

internally.

"The Parish Priest.u y

Saturday afternoon and night at the Lyceum
'The Parish Priest" will be presented, coming
direct from its Boston engagement at the Park
theater. In act one, is a scene which at once es.
tablishes the play as ono OF unusual excellence.
Big Jim Welsh and Nellie Durkin present to DR..
Welsh a sign for his office. On this day he as
sumes the practice of his preceptor DIR. Cassidy,
and IL is but natural that his brother who la
bored to pay for his education should be elated
His elation finds expression In the presenting Of
the sign which he made and which Miss Durkn
presented. II is pretty bit Of acting when the

SUSPEND JUDGMENT.

Some adverse criticism has been in
dulged in regarding the school board s
resolution forming itself into a COM
mittee of the whole to hold secret ses-
sions on the Nolan bill of extras. Ii
should not be forgotten that up to
the present time the contractors have
been present at every discussion of NE
bill and disputes of this sort are not
always most satisfactorily settled un-
der such conditions. When the COM
mittee completes it's work the details
will be given to the public.

"The Tyranny of Tears"

1t is well known that, as rule, books which
read well do not make good plays. nor are
plays easily turned into book literature. An ex.
cepton is ''The Tyranny of Tears" which john
Drew will present at the Lyceum tonight.
Haddon Chambers has been enthusiastically
complimented on the exquisite literary quality
OF his "comedy of tempersment'-the crisp,
epgrammatic and scenic nature of the dialogue
The play is full of bright lines is humorous and
witty, and has considerable philosophy that is
not at all ponderous Nearly every critic COM
ments on the fact that it would lose none of its
favor if within the covers of book. Indeed, its
publication in book form is contemplated

Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.

kenna, jackson Co., w. Va.
About three years ago my wife had
an attack of rho umatism which con-
fined her to her bed for owe: a month
and rendered her unable to walk a
step without assistance, her limbs
being swollen to double their normal
size Mr.. S. Maddox insisted on my
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I
purchased a fifty-cent bottle and used
it according to the directions and the
next morning she walked to breakfast
without assistance in any manner, and
she has not had similar attack since.

trte speech, presents the sign, while the big
brother smiles approval from the porch.
In the midst of their laughter, Miss cassidy, to
whom DR.. Welsh is engaged, appears, and OBJ
jects to the placing Of the sign on the building,
claiming that it is old fashioned. 1t is an aw-
full blow to the donators who are about to depart
with the sign when Father Whalen appears, and
by arts diplomatic succeeds in inducing Miss
Cassidy to accept the sign Father Whalens little
speech is persuasively eloquent. Why he says,
"there is a heart-throb in every inch of the
board and an honest affection in every stroke OF
the brush. The sign is lot valuable for the let.
tering it contains, but il is invaluable for what
it represents. Daniel Sully is the central figure
in this beautiful play and his Father Whaen is
one of the best character creations Of recent years

paign of the present century in point of
hardship, namely. the Crimean war. In
this case we were aided by the French,
who fought CALAMITY side by side with
our own men.
No sooner had our forces disposed Of the
trouble in Russia than they We're sum
moned away to China, where fierce en-
counter with the Chinese took place in
1865 and about this time the terrible
Indian mutiny broke out, leaving peace
established in India at the end Of the
year 1857.
Doubtless, few persons who watched the
evolutions Of the Maori team OF football
ers who came to this country some years
back are aware that I'm the year 1860 these
fine fellows were our enemies, yet such
was the case. and although we gave them a
severe beating at the time. they broke
out again between 1868 and 1866.
War with Looshale was carried on in the
year 1871, this being followed By the
Ashantee campaign in 1873. In 1877 our
troops were once more fighting the Kafilrs,
while between 1878 and 1879 the Zulus gave
us a great deal OF bother, and Cctewayo
doomed up large on the horizon.
In Afghanistan war broke out once more
in 1878 and was waged on and on until
1880. and about the same period Tommy
Atkins was also practicing upon the Basu-
tos in another part of the Dark continent.
The Transvaal war began in 1879, and
ended in 1881. when Mr. Gladston signed
the treaty which has since given rise to so
much controversy. \ year later the Egyp-
tian campaign was in full swing, and it
was at this period that the bomoardment
OF Alexandria took place.
The war In the Soudan. which Is now
doubtless on the point OF termination, goes
back as far ms 1884 while In 1885 the Brit
ish forces were once more fighting the
Burmese. In 1890 there was considerable
fighting at Zanzibar, and between 1891 and
1895 the Matabele campaign, which viii be
fresh in the minds OF most readers was
carried on with much energy.
The Chitral campaign in 1895. thc third
Ashantee war in 1896, the Indian campaign
in 1897, together with the present war in
the Transvaal, conclude the series OF
campaigns

BRANDT's BROTHER IN SEATTLE.
Says the Dead Highwaymnn's True
Name Was Jensen.

Marius Brandt, a half brother of the
highwayman who was killed last Deem
Der while attempting TO hold Up Ballard
street car, arrived In Seattle a day or two
ago from a fishing voyage In Alaskan
waters He saw the accounts OF the trag-
edy in the Seattle papers while he was in
the north. He says that the dead mans
name was not Brandt, but Jensen, and
that in his youth he went by that name.
Both OF us were sailors" said Brandt
oscar left home when he was H. and
saw very little of him after that until [
came to Ballard. Then Wipge and l went
into partnership there and built several
houses. Oscar worked for us for a while
but he was so disagreeable that we had to
let him so. The last / saw OF him was on
the Ballard car about three weeks before
he was shot. | was on my way to Alaska
when IL happened.
