II view of the performances wit
messed here last week, we can scarcely
believe the serious and earnest stu
dent of the dramatic long haired
contingent Who is forever lamenting
that the stage is degenerating and
scurrying pell-mell to the eternal bow
vows. There has not been a day dur
ing the past 500 years that this la
mentation, like the lone and lonely
VOLTS below to the moon, has not been
heard. Shakespeare heard it during his
time; it reverberatcd on the ear Of
BetteTton and dinged on the tympanum
OF Addison. Stelie, Garrick and later
Kean all were tormented with the eter-
nal yawn, and so on down 10 the days
of Forrest and Booth. That which is
looked on with contempt by the Sc
rious and earnest" of this age is glori-
fed by the serious and earnest" of
the age to come. With many. unfortu-
nately. that which is old is golden, that
when is new is gilt.
The Vance ThOmpsons of today who
shake their locks in holy horror at
what delights the present day play
goer, wiz De metamorphOsed into a
new crop of Vance ThompsOns a few
years hence. who viii sing paeans of
praise for the return of what the old
assortment of Vance ThompsOns looked
lgpon with contempt SO ways the
world
If the treuchant Hills and bawling
Fitz-Geralds of Garrick's time could
rise cvt of their long resting places
and witness the magnificent perfOr-
mances being given in America today
they would BE- filled with wonder and
delight the acting. the scenery, the
costumes, the properties. as well as the
wonderful effects OF light znd color,
would lie as amazing TO them as the
eXoTcisms of a KaterfeltO would be to
a modernist. The retrospective mental
ragamuffin who cannot enjoy the per-
formances Of 2 Madjeska. a James a
Viola Allen. a Richard Mansfield or a
Julia Marlowe. merits no more than
contempt. and is deserving of no more
than pity.

rles at West Coshohken from death or
injury. Miss Henderson resides a short
distance from the quarry and as she
looked from a window she saw that the
roof of the powder magazine was blaz-
ing. The men at work in the quarry
were not aware of their danger until she
ran to the quarry and warned them, not
second too soon. While the men and
Miss Henderson were fleeing there was a
terrible explosion. The air was filled
with splinters, stones and dirt which
showered upon their heads.
In the magazine which exploded there
were 80 kegs of powder and 300 pounds
OF dynamite. Nothing but a hole in the
ground marks the place where the pow
der house stood.

Kun was followed by the ignition of the
haphtha by an open switch lamp, by the
ilo"lng OF the naphtha, first free, then,

the ONO river, half a mile away, and It's

and property, and by the explosion of
three other naphtha tanks at the point

pie mad oeen attracted to the spot by the
fre, which was sending up flames 100
feet high. The explosions were heard as
Tar away as Duquesne Heights.
The telescoping of the ears was one of
those things that not mfrequently hap
pens without serious consequences. Its
subsequent ignition, by an open switch
lamp, viii later be fully investigated
The cause of the explosion at the point
where 1t once again broke out into the
open IS still matter of conjecture. 1t
may be that the flame followed fast the
naphtha tnat had gone before, and re-
scented the cramped quarters of the Gull
verts opening, sending out a sheet of
naphtha and flame that wrecked half
dozen houses in the neighborhood, setting
them on fire, iniuring not less than 100
people incidentally.
The shock of the shot from this can
non culvert was felt across the river in
Allegheny where windows were broken.
The burning of naphtha at the fountain
head, the two naphtha tanks, was spec
tacular in the extreme. 1t was a giant
piece of fire. People came from far aud
near to view the sight.
Fully two hours after the fire started
there came the second explosion. There
were three other naphtha tanks in the
immediate neighborhood of the two tanks
that had been telescoped, and were burn
ing. Efforts to get them out of range
had, for some reason, been inefTecull
With mighty splash of flame across the
heavens and a noise that MADE the hills
quake, the tanks let 90 al almost the
same moment.
From the heavens there descended
streams of burning naphtha, flaming
timber and red hot iron on the people on
tne hilltops. Maddened by pain, the in
'jured dashed hither and thither, those
that had escaped assisting the less fortu-
nate, tore the clothes from them beat at
the flames, carried the desperately in
lured to more secure spots, and sent for
medical aid of which they were in need.
Speedily all of the local hospitals were
notified OF the second and greater catas-
trophe. Doctors We're sent for in all di.
rections and they were hurried to the
spot on special engines provided by the
railway company.
