ALMOST FELL INTO THE RIVER
Narrow Escape of Passengers Bound
for Washington.

NEW YORK. Jan. Z2.-Twenty passen-
gers who were in a sleeping car on the
Pennsylvania Railroad transport Mary
land. in transit from the Harlem River
TO Jersey City. this morning, had a mar
row escape from death Fortunately for
themselves they were not aware Of their
peril and there was no panic. They were
not even awakened.
When the Maryland left Harlem at .
o'clock In the morning she had on board
five cars Of the Federal Express, bound
for Washington. There were three sleep
ing cars-the Santiago. st George, and
FlorisaG-an ordinary passenger car. and
a baggage car. The Santiago and St
George we're together on one side of the
boat.
The boat was in the middle of the river,
opposite the Battery, when Quartermas-
ter George Van Glider heard one of the
connecting chains between the cars snap.
He ran down the lower deck IN time to
see the ST George sliding 10 the stern OF
the boat It struck the bumper, knocking
il away. The rear truck ran of the boat,
hut the body OF the car fell 10 the deck
and that stayed its further progress. The
shock was heavy, but il did not rouse the
sleeping passengers Ropes were attach
ed 70 the car to make its safety more as
Jersey City
When the Maryland was safely in her
slip the sleeping passengers on the ST
George were aroused. They We're not told
OF their peril. but simply notified that 1t
would be necessary for them to change
ears. As they left the car by the forward
door, they did not discover that anything
was amiss until one passenger, whose
curiosity was aroused, went to the stern
Of the boat and found that the rear end
Of the car was projected over the river
He set up an outcry. but was assured
that there was no danger, and was hur-
ried ashore
The car St George is 60 feet long, and
as only II feet of it projected over the
stern OF the boat the railroad men said
there was little danger OF it going over
board. Owing to the delay of providing
an extra car and transferring the pas
sengers the departure of the train was
nearly two hours late.

NEW YORK c1TY's CHARTER.
Governor OdeIPs recommendation
to the state Legislature.

ALBANY, Jan 22.-GOvernor OdeH last
night sent to each branch of the Legis-
lature the report Of the Charter Revision
Commission appointed by Ex-Governor
Roosevelt last year TO revise the New
York city charter II remains for leg
islation to carry out the recommendations
of the commission.
Governor OdelI does not agree with
the recommendations OF the commission
in several important particulars Es-
pecialIy does the Governor raafirm his
contention that power lOdgec with The
Governor 10 remove a single-headed New
York city police commission would he
perfectly constitutional The Governor
thinks that the New York city employees
should be classified and that the salaries
for those holding positions In the same
class should be uniform. The increase in
the membership OF the board of alder
men is objected to by the Governor. OF
the sIpgle-headed police recommendation
by the charter commission the Governor
says:
The recommendation CO & single head
for the police department is correct SO
far as it goes, but considering that the
same authorities who are low RESPONSE
bic for the condition of affairs in New
York will Tor the next year continue in
control no reformation would seem pos
sible, except some other provisions are
made for other control under exigencies
which may arise at any time"
The Governor concludes his message as
follows:
What the people desire is fewer Off
GERS. lower taxes. and better government.
and this the revised charter does not. I'M
fortunately. fully progide for I believe.
however, that in the main the recommen-
dations OF the commission should be
adoIted and immediate consideration
given by you, looking to the perfection
OF these amendments to the local laws
of New York city l have faith that your
action will be along lines that will merit
the approval of the citizens Of New York
city and that the outcome of your de-
liberations upon this subject will be bet

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 22.-The
United Mine Workers Of America resumed
the sessions of their annual convention at
o'clock this morning. Several hundred
more delegates have arrived since yester-
day, The interest in the meeting being
greater than for many years.
1t is officially stated that the principal
question 70 come before the convention is
the difference IN price paid for pick and
machine-mined coal. This differenJial is
not in just proportion, it is claimed Ma
chine mining in the last few years, has
made rapid strides toward deposing the
pick miner and now it is estimated that
% per cent Of the coal mined is dug out
By machines. II is said the discomfort Of
miners increases with the further intro
duction of machines and there must be a
more equitable adjustment
The delegates from Iowa and Michigan
have held two conferences at which the
matter Of admitting the operators of their
respective States into me Interstate
agreement was discussed. These delegates
are making A-rong effort 10 have the
convention say the operators Of Iowa and
Michigan must be taken int the agree
ment
The operators of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio.
ana pennsylvania, who are included IN
the agreement, refuse to let them into
their joint conferences. Last year the
Iowa operators came to the convention,
hut were refused admittance- While The
operators of Iowa want to become mem
bers. the Michigan opera .ors do not wish
TO join, bat 1t is said IL the convention
declares that they must be admitted there
can no longer be positive resistance.
The two outside STATES are recognized
as competitive States and the operators
are forced TO pay the wage scale adopted
by the Interstate conventions. The nj
ners say the operators in the inter State
agreement have no reason TO keep the
others cut, and some say it is only move
TO divide the organization of the miners
among themselves. thus decreasing their
strength. The two outside delegations
viii make d demand upon the convention
for recognition and use every effort TO
have the matter disposed Of at once. II
Michigan there is not an employee about
mine under the jurisdiction Of the union
who IS not a member.

Feminine jealousy inspires the story of
"AlI on Account of Eliza" a new three
act comedy by Leo DeitrichsteiB, which
was first seen locally at the Columbia last
evening, serving as the stellar vehicle for
Louis Mann and Clara Lipman- The
large audience present enjoyed the piece
immensely, and certainly it is somewhat
of dramatic novelty.
There is considerable in it that recalls
"A Temperance Town" and all through
there is trife of the old Hoyt atmos-
phere. Eliza" is q school teacher who
arouses the green-eyed monster in the
village women, who consequently attempt
to have her dismissed. The German Pres
ident of the School Board is her sup
porter, and that is about all there is to
the play. But this skeleton serves TO dis
play some very quaint ideas of humor,
the great dialect Of M Mann soma pretty
gowns and clever song by Miss Lipman.

Chase,S-yuudeyufe.

The best vaudeville act that has been
seen IN Washington this year is J E
Dodson's -'Richelieu." displayed a Chase-s
yesterday and applauded most literally
by two large audiences The work of Mr.
Dodson is far in advance of anything Of a
like character in vaudeville. and the ef-
forts OF his assistants. while intelligent
always. were at tines cast in the shadow
of their chief. to their disadvantage The
Chase patrons of this week viii find much
TO enthuse over in -Richelieu's Strata
gem. and win for the while forget they
are in vaudeville theatre.
The remainder Of the bill is as a rule
excellent, the main features being The
Bifurcated Girl a sketch played by VIII
H Murphy and Minnie Allen and another,
-'One Christmas Eve" interpreted by two
clever young people, Hal Davis and Inez
Macauley The sketches are very dissim-
liar, but each succeeds IN pleasing the au-
dience immensely. Gordon EldTid suffers
by repeating most OF his mOnOlgue act OF
a year ago, while Mae Shields pickanin-
MES are the best part OF her contribution
to the bill Cheridah Simpson makes her
greatest hit at the piano. giving several
amusing limitations. Saega= Midgley and

of a juvenile nature but it is about twice

seal OF approval on the choice Of the man
agement, for the piece has always been a
favorite with local theatregoers. The
story is a pretty one and is eIeyerly told.
Special scenery has been prepared for the
production and the striking gowns Of the

Eugene Ormonde is seen as John Van

sought at all times and by all classes. The
role is sympathetic one and Mr. Or

John T. Sullivan plays Dick Van Buren,

is excellent. Robert Rogers scored as
