ADJUSTMENTS.

Sherlock Holmes" play adapted by William Gillette from Conan Doyle's matchless stories-the only entirely good detective stories of our time-gratified and won the unmeasured praise of a notably brilliant and large audience at the Jeffer- son Theatre last night. In one or two points Conan Doyle himself has been im- proved upon, and assuredly higher praise could not be given the dramatist
 Millions have so studied and enjoyed sthe character of Sherlock Holmes that, they have come to love him as real man walk ing the world, and even the unconditional student of literature as art finds it diffi- cult to comprehend that the great defective is simply a creation of art though that art the highest. One lives and plots and dreams and loves with Sherlock Holmes, and becomes in the spiritual sense of him and his strategems
 These feelings ran riot with one last night. The play made the impressions deeper and tenser than even the book had worked them; and one left the playhouse with the sense of seeing in full-statured manhood him whom one had loved In art through the years of delightful com panionship. s~
 Even the unquestioning lover of Gillette himself, the Gillette of the human hehrt:- Beneath the human breast, sometimes
 shallow, sometimes deep
 There ever lies the human heart!'
 Even the lover of this man of masterful power could not but feel that this new Sherlock Holmes, MT. Cuyler Hastings, was equal to, if not better than, Gillette himself. MT. Hastings is an actor of very remarkable ability, very extraordinary ca pacity for a role like that. No-not that! there is no other role quite like Sherlock Holmes. When it is writ that MT. Hastings is the master of that character, further praise would be mere words words
 And Miss Ethel Knight Mollison as Alice Faulkner was eXquisitely ideal, wondrous fair and forceful.
 MT. Griffith Evans as Professor Moriarity displayed high capacity as an actor. And al the other characters, some nineteen all told, were most capitally filled.
 No happier audience is likely to sit through any play in Birmingham this sea- sen, or any other season.

second thought was to jump. Turning
around to make his escape his jacket
caught in the handle of the reverse
lever and held him fast. He made
frantic efforts to release himself, real
izing that if the engine turned over he
would be crushed to death or worse,
scalded or roasted against the sides
of the hot boiler. The engine bump
ed rapidly over the ties before the en-
gineer could eXtricate himself and
stopped. He climbed down and found
that the engine and tender were about
800 yards away from the remainder of
the train. The engine was standing
parallel with the tracks, put the ten
der, which was still attached to the
engine, swung around at right an
giles to both the east and west
bound tracks. The trucks were
broken and twisted along the track.
Dove commenced to search for his fire
man and discovered Shannon lying be-
tween the tracks midway between the
engine and the train. He evidently
jumbed and alighted on his head.
His skull was crushed and death was
instantaneous. The forward mail car

COAL MINER INJURED.
John Lansden Has Leg Broken BY
Falling Slate.

L iOLl wednesday, bdlly.
John Langden, who resides on the
Lumsden property west of the city,
was badly injured about A o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, while working at
his occupation as miner in the
FISCHER mine, located near the Phil
lips mines.
The accident was one of those
which will happen in coal mines, no
matter how many precautions are
taken. No direct or special cause can
be ascribed for the untoward happen
ing. While Mr.. Langden was work
ing a piece of slate fell upon him,
crushing the bones in the left leg be,
low the knee.
DR.. M. H. Sprague attended to the
mans injuries. AS the patient is
about fifty years of age and the injury
is complex it is doubtful that com,
plete recovery will be brought about.
DR.. Sprague said today that he thinks
the bones will mend in time, but that
the limb will always be weak.
