"a Grip of steel" mt the Park Thenter

ga Grip Of Steel" mt the Park Theater.
II the weather continues to-day and to-
morrow TO be as pleasant as it was yester-
day the engagement of "A Grip Of Steel
will be one OF the most successful of the
season at the Park. Two large audiences
were drawn to the opening performances
yesterday. The play was given most cor
dial reception. At times last night
the enthusiasm passed the point of
legitimate applause in the shape of
boisterous cheers. At the end of the
third act the entire company was called
before the curtain. those playing good roles
to receive plaudits, while the poor villain
was roundly Kissed 1t Is not often that
Park audience manifests a desire to review
q company In this manner. hence the oc-
currence of such an event must be taken to
mean that the piece is unqualifedly In
dorsed.
"a Grip of Steel is a melodrama of the
most exciting kind, and yet IT possesses an
interest and charm that cannot be gain
said. The story Of Ronjarre's love for his
beautiful blind wife Henrietta is one CAL
culated to move the stoniest heart James
Gordon. a veritable Hercules in physical
appearance, played the part of RonJarre,
and displayed considerable talent and YER
satility, the role requiring many changes
OF voice and personality, as well as or
makeup. Miss Florence st. Leonard made
a charming Henriette. her beauty of face
and form assisting her greatly. Another
exceptionally good-iooking member of the
company is Miss Burley Murray. who was
delightfully."- vivacious as Clarisse, Tabarets
daughter. The best acting among the men
was done by Frank M. Allen as Tabaret,
the eccentric inkeeper; John III. Smiley as
Edouard Gandelu, the villain and traitor;
AL Kranz as Mallory, funny Irishman,
who possessed ability as a mesmerist, and
J. II. Ferris as Bordogni one OF Rom
5arre's band. Lawrence Mertons actions
and grossly exaggerated cockney talk In the
character of Toto Biggs, another robber,
were nauseating in the extreme. Nellie
Castle found little else TO do in the part OF
Mathilde Haudry than look pretty and oc-
casionally make pathetic appeals for help
In time OF trouble.

gagement tomorrow night

TRAIN IN THE DITCH.
North Bound Express Ran
Into a Broken Rail--MalI
Car and Mail Are
Consumed by
Fire.

Five of the cars Of the Katy ex-
press train due here at 1850
Wednesday night, and which left
here 40 minutes late, we're piled
into a mass Of wreckage a few
miles this side Of Bluejaokei. By
one Of those inexplicable chances
Of good fortune no person was in
jured other than few scratch es,
bruises and a general shaking up.
The train was in charge OF Con-
ductor Gudgell and consisted Of
mail car, express car, baggage car,
two chair cars and two Pullman
sleepers. Being behind time
the train was given speed as fast
as thought consistent with safety.
When about three miles this side
OF Bluejacket the engine ran over
broken rail, the wheels leaving
the track. The baggage car turned
completely over and broke in two,
one part being demolished into
splinteis. The express and mail
car and the two chair cars tumbled
over on their sides but none of the
passengers, Of which there were
nearly fifty, including FIVE or six
babies, wers inlEred sufficiently
bad to neeessitate the care Of a
physician.
In the demolished baggage car
there were the baggage master and
another man and how they escaped
is a mystery. The mail car caught
fire and was entirely consumed
only a mass of bent and twisted
iron remaining. By very hard
work the train crew, assisted by a
number of passengers, prevented
the FIRE from reaching the other
cars. Only a small part of the
mail was saved. from the flames.
The two Pullman cars never left
the track but the jar OF the sudden
stop threw the passengers from
their births.
One Of the porters jumped from
the car and ran all the way into
Bluejacket where he aroused the
people by shouting that he wal
the only person "saved from a bis
wreck down the road. What aim
dead are most horribly mangled.'
AS result nearly every person il
