Another one-sided exhibition of the
national sport was that which took
place at the Field Club Saturday when
the home team crossed bats with the
nine from Company H, Seventh
Regiment, N. Y. N. G. The score
after seven innings was 81 to 2 in
favor of Morristown, and so it was
decided to call the game at that
point AS ball game it was a fail
ure, but as comedy it was highly
successful, and kept theonlookers in
a constant roar Of laughter.

John Player Leaves For His
New Pennsylvania Home.
Old Associates at the Train to
Bid Him Goodbye.
WON'T RETURN HERE.
His Family to Leave Topeka in
Few Days.
viii Devote His Time to Look
ing After Patents.

It was an interesting little group Of
men who in times past have directed
the policy Of the mechanical depart
ment Of the Santa Fe that gathered at
the Santa Fe depot Thursday evening,
and central Of the number was John
Player, retiring consulting superintend-
ent Of motive power, who was starting
for the scene OF his future work, Frank
lin, Pa.
Among those who so long and faith
fully stayed with Mr. Player while he
was at the head Of the machinery of the
road and who met him at the train to
say farewell, We're: D. E. Cain, assist
ant general manager of the road and
formerly chief clerk to Mr. Player at the
shops; George W. Smith, for years hold
ing one position and another at Topeka
and recently relieved al San BernardinO.
Cal, where he was general master me-
chanic Of all lines west OF Albuquer-
que; A. NJ. Baird, until little over a
year ago foreman of the boiler shop, a
victim al that time Of the Barr Sander
son management.
John Purcell, superintendent of shops
here who reached his present RESPONSE
Bile position with the company after
years of tutelage under the Player ad-
ministrati0n, also took enough time
from his duties to run up to the train
in his shirt sleeves and clasp goodbye
the hand OF the man who had been his
friend.
Mr.. Player will not return to Topeka
for his family, but viii remain in Frank
lin, they joining him in a few days when
their permanent residence there will be
established.
Mr.. Player has been connected with
the Santa F'e road since June $780, and
previous to that date was for nearly
three years superintendent of motive
power for the Wisconsin Central. he
has been in continuous railway service
since 1873, and was connected with the
Central Iowa in various positions from
that date till 1887
He IS the owner of many valuable
patents, and is still doing energetic
work on this line In the last number
of the Railway and Engineering Review
there is an extended description of a To-
conceive cylinder and ash pan recently
patented by Mr.. Player, and already
assigned to the American Locomotive
company. Many of Mr.. Players inven-
tons are in daily use on the finest To-
comOtives of the country.
It is understood that Mr.. Player will
not be actively engaged in business at
his new home at Franklin, Pa. He will
devote his time to the supervision of the
manufacture and perfection of his num-
erous patented devices. He has large
interests at Franklin which cause him
to move to that city for his permanent
residence.

but sharing none of his magnificent
triumph with her.
The Christian has been seen in To-
peka before with a lesser light in the
leading role. By comparison the acting
of Morgan is found to be nothing short
OF wonderful. Unless it be the sincerity
OF the character so wonderfully eX-
emplified, no one can thoroughly analyze
his success Morgan might fall far be-
low the mark in other characters and
other productions but he is perfect as
the Soho Father. He is destined per
haps, for a life in the part the same as
James O'Neill has been Monte Christie"
and Lewis Morrison has been .Mephis-
to- for so many years.
The company which supported Nor
gan was excellent It would be impossi-
bic to find a flaw. There is barely
drop of comedy but the little is furnish
ed by Carrie Lee Stoyle as Mrs. Callen-
der Her Scotch brogue was musically
beautiful. Julia Stewards Glory was
excellent. She. like Morgan, grew bet
ter and stronger in her acting the
play went on. Miss Stewart pleased the
audience both in her acting and her
self.
The Lord Robert Of Charles Rowan
was given the exact English twist. The
.Horatio Drake of Herbert Fortier was
well done and Jefferson Lloyd's charac-
ter Of The Faro King" was so original
that it was almost impossible to imagine
him as Lord Storm in the prologue.
The play was well staged. and the
scenery for every act was carried by
the company. There may be a diversity
of opinion as to whether the dramatiza-
ton Of The Christian carries all to the
stage that is in the book, but for those
who have not read the novel and who,
make no such comparisons, there is
nothing wanting in the play.

ON A CARLOAD OF DYNAMITE.
Exciting Ride of Santa Fe switchman
on q Runaway Train.

The Ell Paso Herald says that a train
of smelter cars ran into a Santa Fe
switch just west of town, on which were
hfty-six cars, d few evenings ago. Ten
OF the sInelter cars were smashed uD
and two of them thrown clear over the
dump to the street below
Every evening the empty smelter cars
are turned loose at the hill this side and
allowed to slide down about a mile when
they are caught by the switch engine
and brought on into town. Just before
the time to do this Saturday a yard
crew from town had been up to the
switch this side of the smelter and set
out ffty-six cars. These cars had the
brakes set on them and were thoroughly
anchored.
From some cause or other the switch
to the side track had not been lined up
for the main track and Whe the smelter
cars were turned loose instead of run
ming on down the main track to town
they took a header into the side track
on which were standing the cars just
mentioned
The smelter empties, together with
several cars Of matte and a car of dyna-
mite that had been sent out by mistake
were travelling at about fifteen miles an
hour and struck the other cars with
terrific force. Four Of the moving cars

were left until this morning when the
wrecker crew resumed their work and
cleared all wreekage away Four of the
cars We're burned.
Two of the cars that were smashed
up were loaded with matte and another,
which did not leave the tracks. was
loaded with dynamite Had that car
left the tracks it is impossible to mag
inc the result. A whole car load of dy-
Mantle exploding at once would have
shaken the bald mountains from center
to circumference.
Switchman Dugan was in the worst
predicament. He was seated upon the
top Of the dynamite car and if anybody
ever wished for wings with which to fly
away he certainly did. He expected the
dynamite to go off any moment and
rather than take chances of surviving
such a shock he made a leap, turned
several summersaults in the air but
alighted upon his feet. Operator Wood
ward was the only one hurt. His
trousers We're rather the worse for wear
and tear and his right knee was injured
slightly.

GIVEN AN OVATION.
Edward Morgan's 'sJOhn Storm
Well Received in Topeka.

Edward Morgan was given an ovation
at the Crawford last night, where he
played the part of John Storm in the
dramatization of Hall Gaines The
Christian
The applause of the audience after the
third act sent the curtain up half
dozen times. Probably no actor who
has faced an audience in Topeka this
season has received the amount Of ap-
plause awarded Morgan He carried the
audience with him like an orator or
some great divine. Morgan's handling
of the character in the opening of the
prologue is not impressive. One gets
the idea that he talks out of the corner
of his mouth and that he will stoop to
the trickery Of melodrama for his
plaudits. But that impression is ban
ished as quickly as it comes. GLORY
