and John Wilson, a miner. was not ex-
pected to live The story of the death
of the three members is a peculiar one.
Early in the morning John Flick went
into the mine. He was to have returned
at noon. The family waited dinner on
him for some time, and then thinking
that he had forgotten the time of day,
sent Nellie into the mine to ask him to
come home for dinner. Nellie had gone
into the mine but a short distance when
she was overcome by blackdamp. The
FIRMLY waited some time for the son and
daughter to return, and then fearing
that something had happened to the son
and daughter Mrs. Flick started in
search Of her two children Sometime
elapsed and she did not return when
the alarm was given. Miners fiocked
to the mine from all around, and volun-
teers We're easily found to enter and
search for the lost members of the
family. John Wilson, who belonged to
the rescuing party, was overcome by the
deadly blackdamp, and is in a serious
condition. The bodies of the three
members of the Flick family were re-
moved from the mine, and taken to
their home. The bodies were found
only a short distance apart, all having
been overcome by the blackdamp.

HENRIETTA GRossMAN-SEPT. 25th.
In Mistress Nell" the merry play
that Henrietta Grossman will bring to
the Park Theatre on Tuesday night, this
charming player is said to have made
the greatest success of her life, both
from financial and artistic standpoint,
and everywhere the play and players are
referred to as the sensation of the sea-
son. Mistress Nell'' is a comedy in
which the central figure is Nell Gwyn,
the famous EngliGh actress, SO that it is
historic and all the characters are, in
fact, taken from English history. 1t
seems strange, but at the same time
there is general interest in Nell Gwyn,
not alone in tnis country, but also in
Europe, and since Miss Crossman first
produced Mistress Nell" in Denver last
Spring, there has been two plays in
which Nell Gwyn figured presented in
London showing that in the English
capital the fact is recognized that Hen
rietta Crossman has great success in
her new play in America.
