SERIOUS WRECK
On the Panhandle This
Morning East of the
City...A Passenger
Hurt.

Train No. 10. on the Little Miami,
met with quite a serious accident
this morning, smashing an engine,
injuring a passenger, and delaying
the train something over an hour.
One of the va & engines went out
east with several box cars ahead of
No. 10, which followed very closely.
The yard engine did not go
fast enough to get out of the
way. At 'F. T. Cabin, out east of
the glen, the passenger train struck
the last car as it was going into the
switch. The passenger train was
pulled by engine 951, Charles Hoyle,
engineer: Feht, fireman. It was
still quite dark, being early in the
morning, but the engineer saw the
car in time to put on air so that the
speed was slackened good deal, les
SEEMING the shock very much.
Several freight cars were splinter
ed up, one of them totally wrecked,
and its contents, consisting of mer-
chandise, scattered over the track a
good deal.
The passenger engine was con-
siderably broken in front, but none
of the men was hurt. Baggage
master Mart Bowsman was br Used
by several trunks falling on
him but was not disabled. The
passenger cars were not
damaged. The passengers were
well shaken up, but only one person
was hurt. His name was I. J. Jud-
son, of Dayton. He was thrown

W.ILLING TO RD.

Complaint comes from all sides regarding the stoppage in the catch basins in different sections of the borough, caused by the fail ure to have them cleaned out and attended to during the past six or more months, and it is believed that much of the damage done ty the floods would have been avoided if the catch basins on North Colony street had been in working order. Many think that the economy in the borough govern ment las not been financial success. There was quite a change of real estate between Saturday morning and sunday afternoon on the plains. Eighty-fiye loads of soil changed from above the rubber shop to the corner of Cherry and Silk streets, and from there to the lowland before Wash- ington street, when 1t is now merged into other soil that moved week ago. ana Ihe borough has to pay all the expense At last It has been decided that drain Tor surface water will be put in on Cherry anu silk streets, and that It will be put ln at once and the excavation filled in afterwards. Had this decision been reached and acted up to week ago there would have been quite saving to the borough, as the ming in done Saturday is washed clean lhto the lot west of Washington street.

around the world. And he was only one of a jovial crew, high flyers, honest and
 thirsty souls, most of them. Like every
 honest good fellow, they spent their
 money free. Rich again and again, and
 paupers at the end.
 Billy Rice with his stump speechi How many ludicrous monologues, tenn perance lectures and what-not,
 punctuated by the thumps from an inn possible cotton umbrella, have the min-
 strels given! The Morris brothers; Nelse Seymour, one of the mightiest minstrels
 of all; MT. Birch, MT. Backus, MT Ber- hard, Mr. Wambold, all fresh in proper- ly regulated and grateful memories;
 Luke Schoolcraft, the Watermilliom Man. and Harry Bloodgood-claudite jam rlvos: turn off the "reminiscences! They say Neil Bryant is lying strick- en over in Brooklyn at a hospital, and they say he is more than seventy. Lord, Lord, what a foolish thing Time is! It must be nearly twenty years since Neil Bryant stripped off the cork, and he is forgtoten already. He was in the twen- ties when he and his brothers opened a theater on Bradoway, somewhere in the four hundreds, three or four years be- fore the war. Bryant's Minstrels had their home in Fourteenth street after-
 ward, say, from 1867 or thereabouts and
 moved to West Twenty-third street in 1870, perhaps, but we are not swearing to any statistics Bryant minstrels were as well known as the Custom House, and they have chased the blues away from thousands. George Fox, too son to become the melancholy figure which used to be led about the streets of Cambridge in the early seventies, was at the Olympia Mr. Birch and hia facetious halo were at five hundred and something Broadway. Kelly and Leon's Minstrels were on Broadway near Elev- enth street. Harry Beckett was at Miss Lima EdWin's theater--O, yes, thera was such a theater in TO- and near it, we think, was the Globe, where we have had the ineffable pleasure of seeing Mr.. Josh Hart in the Yankee Sea Serpent" MT. Antonius Pastor, the immortal, was on the Boweryi then. MT. Pastor came over with MT. H. Hudson, and his hand already grasped that immortal opera hat or "dry hide" May Tony live for ever and day; but most of the theaters and the actors of that time are gone. The race of negro minstrels will be as extinct as the cave bear or the rnanl- moth in few years. They gave a good deal of harmless pleasure; and there are many who will join us in kind recalling and remembrance of those noisy, rol- E1ieking and sentimental artists. Itfcan- not be denied that there is some selfish- ness in the regret. The death of the favorites of his youth makes man feel more keenly that he, too, is growing old.

NEW POSTAL CARDS.
When Four Millions Have Been Bun

 When Four Millions Have Been Bun-
 dled Up They Will Be for Sale.
 A new one-cent postal card is now be- s ing printed at the Bureau of Engraving land Printing and when the first issue lof 4,000.000 has been counted and bun- dled the new card will be placed on new card contains vignette of Prest- dent Mckinley in lieu of President Jeff fersons portrait. The issue of the Jefs ferson card will be discontinued when the present stock on hand is exhausted.
 When desired by purchasers the new postal card will be furnished in sheets of forty cards each. It is expected this arrangement will effect large saving to purchasers who have their messages or addresses printed on postal cards. In order to avoid the heavy black device at the top of the Jefferson card and leave a clear space for the postmark the new postal card has three lines of small type printed about an inch below tho top of the card. The card is thus divid- ed laterally into two sectons--one for the postmark and one for the address. The official description of the new card is as follows:
 Tn the upper right hand corner is a portrait of the late President McKin- ley, three-quarters face, looking to the left, with the words: Postage One Cent above and '1S43- Mckinley -1901 below the stamp and following it's elliptical contour. The portrait used for the subs ject of the stamp is one which was pre- ferred by MT Mckinley himself. The stamp is practically devoid of orna- ment. To the left of the portrait are three straight lines of lettering. the top line being one and one sixteenth inches below the upper edge of the card and containing in small capital letters the words, The Space Above is Reserved for Postmark.' The second line is made up of the words Postal Card in large, plain capitals. The third line is in the same type as the first, and reads The Space Below is for the Address Only In the upper left hand corner is a coat of-arms of the United States, it's posi- tion balancing that of the stamp in the upper right t-hand corner Above the coatof-arms in the same style of capi- tai letters used above the stamp are the words United States and below it the words of America following the con- tour of the coat -of-arms Black ink will be used in printing this card The card will be same size, IA by 5 1-2 inches, as the old one bearing Jefferson's por- trait From the Washington Evening Star.

Grand Opera House,

One of the strongest dramatic pro ductions that have been seen at the Grand opera house this season is An Actors Romance" which was present ed to a crowded house last night. AS the title indicates it deals With the life of an actor, and brings clearly before the public eye not only what IS seen III front of the footlights but what trans pires behind the scenes, It is a story of strong human interes, bringing out both the fierce and tender passions of those who serve the public on the stage. It teaches the lesson that the actor is not merely an entertainer, but that his feelings are as sacred and as much to be considered by the publis as those Of any other person in different occupa- ton. The hero protests against this iniustice when he asks: What does an audience care for an actors real feel ngs so long as he entertains them The play shows that an actor may be true friend, considerate husband and a loving father. It shows the length to which jealousy will lead woman and the depth to which a mad infatuation will degrade man.
 The scenes in the theater and behind the scenes gives one perfect picture of the way in which 9 play is produced, how and where the actors dress, how the scene shifters work how artificial snowstorms and thunder storms are made, in short, what goes on behind the scenes which the audience does not see from the front.
 The company is uniformly strong, but MT. Cook and Miss Church easily bore off the honors, their acting being exceedingly artistic. MT. Cook is ad-
 nirably suited for the part and played it with fine distinction, and Miss Church as the revengeful actress, Flor ence Hastings, won at once the detes- tation of the audience for the character and it's admiration for her acting

 Lafayette, the Great, and his own company of vaudeville stars will be the offering at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week and Saturday matinee, and the excellence of the company will no doubt make the standing room only sign a permanent sign. Lafayette first introduced the impersonation of John Philip Sousa, the March King, and Ching Ling Foo, the Chinese won der-maker, and though others have tried to follow, audiences refused to ac- cept them, and the result is that La fayette is the only recognized perform CT presenting such entertainment. His impersona tions are as clever as the originals and his own work has never been successfully duplicated. The com- pany supporting is a strong one, com- prising such prominent performers as Herberts celebrated troupe of dogs, Ed. F. Reynard, Sharp X Flatt, How ard and Bland, Roberta Keene Barry and Halvers, and positively the most sensational scenic speciality ever pro- duced in this country called the 'Lions Bride" introducing in startling and seemingly impossible manner the col losal lion "Majeste."
