An Old Barge Captain Nearly Drowned
 Last Night.
 Captain Provost, of Elizabeth, N. J., captain of one of the New England Transportation companys barges now in the harbor, last night met with an accident which came near costing his life. He is a man seventy-four years of age and his eyesight is not so good as 1t was in his younger days. His boat was tied up at the dock and about 9:30 last night he started to step fro-n the deck of the barge over to the dock. He misjudged the distance between the barge and the dock and fell down be- tween the edge of the dock and the hull of the boat into the water. He called for help and his cries were heard by Frederick Lane, of No. g Forbes avenue, and by George McGovern, a deck hand. These two men hastened to his assistance and managed to pull him out of the water He was taken into the cabin of the boat and a rousing fire started i'll the cabin stove.

 Large Attendance.

At Plymouth Church Last Evening-A
 Large Attendance.
 There was large attendance at the opening of the new organ at Plymouth church last evening. Aside from the interest felt in the new organ there was also the interest felt in Harry Rowe Shelley, who gave the recital, native of this city, who has won distinction in several fields of musical activity and who has not been heard here for long while. The organ proved to be very satisfactory instrument, of excellent quality and of ample power for the size of the ediflce. It Is only two thirds complete at present, and when the third manual is added it will be one of the best organs in town. It reflects credit on it's young local builder, and ought to bring him numerous contracts. MT. Shelley's playing gave great pleasure by reason of the variety and color of his and the solid qualities of his general musical equipment. His was sufficiently wide in scope to appeal to all tastes and show very thoroughly the capacity and ''sne- of the organ. He was assist ed by Mrs Wilson and by the new quartette of the church, accompanied by Frank Canada the church's new or ganist.

ceived. She showed decided dramatic ability in her part of Jennie Howard" Miss Phillips as "The Drummer Boy" was a big success and completely won the hearts of the audience. She seems to fit her part to perfection, and has well learned the art of being perfectly at home on the stage. Miss Jewell as Mrs. Howard'' had rather a fearful part most of the time, but carried it off to perfection. The other members of the company were so uniformly good that all deserve the highest praise for their fine acting and observance of the finer points of the play. Taken all to- gether the play is one of the cleanest and most inspiring on the boards to- day and should not by any possibility be missed. The stage setting was very effective and the scenes well arranged, although the pathetic ones were too prolonged for true dramatic effects. Good war dramas are scarce, but this ranks as one of the very best that our country has seen. Tie play will be given every night this week at the Fly perion with two matinees,, on Wednes- day and Saturday.
