AN EXCITING SEEM Z
Caused in a New York Theatre
by Runaway.
TWO HORSES MAKE A DASH.
Thsy Gould Not Be K'pt on
the Stage and Plunged
into the Audience.
A Heroine.

The New York Journal says woman
calm and steady amid a psnic-Wed
nesday night stopped two horses which
dashed over the footlights from the
stage Of the Academy Of Music, where
they were US: d in the production Of
Uncle Toms Cabin" The struggling
animals p unged into the audience.
The horses were a magnificent white
team.
The animals came right over the
footlights. The heroine who stopped
them was Mrs. Edward s, G.. Fearin g
of Helena, Mont. It is due to her that
this story is not the story Of tragedy.
Eve persons we're hurt during the panic
in the general rush for the doors. Two
women tainted.
David Peyser Of No. l58 Hudson ave:
nue., the driver Of the team, sustained
fracture Of three ribs and severe in
juries about the head. Samuel Mich
aslscn of No. 137 Eldrige street, had
his arm broken. Three other meu
were injured. One Of them, musician
named Meier, had q close call for biz
life, for be was directly in the path ci
the nladdened horses as they slid o7el
the footlights.
It was in the first scene Of the tiiid
set that the accident took place. TIE
scsne represents St. Claii's house and
garden. On the stage were Earle
Browne, playing the character Of St.
Clair. and Alice Evans, playing tie
part Of Mrs St. Clair
From an entrance far ba,k on the
south side Of the stage appeared q
prarci1g team Of white horses drawing
an open carriage, Peyser was on the
drivers seat and seated in the csrriage
were G John Kellered, as Uncle Tom,
Georgia Florence Olp, as Little Eva,
and Mrs. Annie Yeamans IS Aunt
Ophelis.
The carrisge should have stopped in
the centre of the stage to allow the &C.
| tors to alight. It did not stop Wednes,
| day night. The horses we're restless,
but Mr. Kellerd nansged to get out
aud assist Miss Olp to the stage. Mrs.
Yesmans was unable to leave the car
riage.
At point probably ten feet from
the exit through which the team was to
have gone, the horses became frighten'
ed at the tapping Of the traces and be-
gan to plunge. In order that they
| might not harm the stage they were
| shod with smooth shoes, and it was but
few seconds until they were skating
around in dangerous proximity to ths
| footligh Peyser was poWerless te
| hold the soon frenized animals, and il
| became apparent then an accident was
inevitable. The nusicins left their pit
in rush. This alone precipitsted
panic.
With heads high in the air and saw
ing from side to side as Peyser yapked
| on the reing, the horses slid to the foot
lights, through the footlight chain
| breaking it and several Of the incan
descent globes, then over the edge o.
| the stage and into the orchestra Iit
alighting partly in the pit and partly il
| the side aisle on the south side Of tbt
house. The carriage toppled over, Will
Mrs. Yeamans in it, but the two hint
wheels remsined on the stage, and tb'
veteran actress vas dragged to safety b!
Earle Browne. PsyRer was thrown OF
the struggling horses and they kicket

excessive moisture, and several days
of drying weather will be necessary
to put the soil in condition for seeding
and blowing. Frequent storms of
snow, sleet and rain in March, with
continued wet and cloudy weather the
first week in April, rendered field
work practically impossible in all por-
lions of the state except very limited
areas in the northwest district, where
beginning has been made in sowing
wheat, oats and clover seed. In
same other sections start has been
made during the past week in blowing
sod ground. The plowed fields are
generally saturated, and the highways
are well nigh impossible. Grass
wintered in excellent condition, and
the season is thus far very favorable
for pastures and meadows. Winter
rye looks well, and the small acreage
of winter wheat appears to be unusual
ly promising.
All reports indicate that farm ami
mails are in good health The cold
and wet weather has been somewhat
unfavorable for the early pig crop.
Fruit buds appear to be uninjured
in all sections of the state.

TWO ALLEGED THIEVES.
Erwin Armstrong and VIM. Albreskey
CHARGED With Theft.

.IFrom Wednesdays Daily.l
Erwin Armstrong and VIM. Albres-
key are in Jail charged with the theft
OF two valuable copper boilers from
the wood house of Mrs. Dick Doherty
on West Main street. The men were
arraigned in police court this morn
ing and pleaded not guilty. Their trial
was set for Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, and in default of $50 bail they
were remanded to jail.
1t is alleged by the police that the
two men took the two boilers and
mashed them all out of semblance of
shape and tried at several East Main
street junk shops to sell them but on
account of the newness of the boilers
none of the junk dealers would buy
Finally after they had tried several
places without success it is alleged
the men threw the boilers into an al
ley in the East End. Later they were
found by some children and the police
were notified with the above result.
Threw Family Outdoors.
A. Johnson, who lives on Mill street
was arrested last night by Officers
Noah and Grammer charged with be
ing drunk and attempting to throw his
family out of doors. There was a grea1

A SMALL FIRE.
The Department Responds to a Tele'
phone Alarm, Making Good Run.

[From Wednesdays Daily.]
At half past seven o'clock this morn
ing, a telephone alarm was turned in,
from North Benton street, and the
fire department made an exceptional
ly fast run, up West Second street, to
Benton, and upon arriving on the
scene, found the house owned and oc-
cupied by Bert Gillette on fire. The
flames originated from defective flue
in the cook stove, and the attic was
in a blaze. This was first noticed by
G. M. Houdyshell, who resides at 729
North Holt street, near the Gillette
property and who notified the occu.
pants, and sent the alarm in. A fire
had been started in the cook stove to
prepare the morning meal, and was
communicated to the roof. 1t was ex,
tinguished in few moments after the
arrival of the department. Damage tc
the extent of SIS was the result.

THE NEW CUTOFF.
Little Hope of Milwaukee Line Strik-
ina Hedrick,

Hedrick, April 1O.-The new G. M.
& st. P. cutoff survey is being contin-
ued over the route to Rutledge, and it
seems that at present there is little
expectation of the line striking He'd
rick. The surveyors came within a
mile of Richland, crossed the B. G. w.
"a mile east of Pekin, and went south
west thru Competing township. They
cut the northwest corner from L. Dud-
geon's farm, and crossed Competine
creek northeast of the site of the old
school house, bearing directly to Rut-
ledge. Competing town is missed
about mile.
1t seems to be the intention to build
as direct line as possible without re-
gard to towns near the line. At pres.
ent nothing can be done regarding a
change of course, as the present sur
|yey has not been completed.

I regret that the name OF our petty

High Mountains of the Moon.

The Leibnitz range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving it a notched or
scrratod aspect. Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude, while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of $4,000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights ascertaned. The
German observers, Beer and Maeder
have calculated the height of no fewer
than 1895 lunar mountains. The Do
rlel mountains supply an instance Of
great elevation, the peaks of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high. Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens,
21,0O0 feet: Hadley, $4,000 feet; Brad
ley, 10000 feet, and Wolf, 1000 feet.

HOW SPoNeEs ARE GATHERED

The gathering of sponges although
interesting, is very uncertain as te
profits and sometimes hazardous as X
life. The principal sponge bearing
waters are the Mediterranean Sea anc
the Gulf coast of Florida,
In the Mediterranean the natives
dive for them, using no other appara
tus than heavy stone. BY constant
practice they are enabled to remain
underneath the water three minutes
at time indeed some never come up
This latter fate is the risk Of the bust
ness.
The Florida fishers use a boat and
wooden tub with a glass bottom
This enables them to'see plainly whit
the sponges are hooked up with long
pole. The quality of sponge de-
ponds largely upon the kind OF BED
and the depth of water. Thus-oul
most valuable sponges come from very
deep water in the Mediterranean: the
next in value from long rock reef of
the west coast Of Florida. This lat
ter sort, although not 50 fine, Their
toughneSs and durability make then
almost as desirable A third anc
cheap variety are known as a grass
sponge. They are taken in shallow
water around Florida s numerous keys
l have just received complete line
Of all grades and will be pleased u
show you the difference in sponges
They are all prices according to thei,
value, as low as the quality will per
nit, from 5 cents tot 5000.
