an engine jumped the track on the APP
proach to the ID avenue bridge over the
Harlem river and crashed into the rear car
Of an elevated train. derailing It and all but
pushing It from the bridge to the surface
fifty feet below. Luckily the engine was
running at SO slow a speed that the guard
rails kept the car with its load OF passen-
gers from falling from the bridge, and the
collision itself damaged the car but slightly
and injured no one.
Among the 400 passengers on the train
there was q slight panic. several women

APATHY IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Republicans Sure Of the State ant
Take Little Interest.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2.-The
apathy which has marked the present cam
paign in this state is apparent in almost
every county in Pennsylvania. The victory
of the republican ticket is practically
foregone conclusion, the size of the majori-
ty being the only question. Little effort
has been made by either party to get out
a big vote, except in the home counties of
the different candidates, where circulars
were sent to the voters urging them to come
to the polls.

But there is an even more popular form of
Sunday amusement Fishing numbers its few
thousands of devotees, but baseball has it's mill
ion. New-York is the greatest ball town on
earth The capitalist. the stockbroker, the
merchant pause in the busy day to note the
score of the games Of the various professional
teams. The untold thousands of those whom
the writer's of realistic novels designate the
Plain People," the words always capitalized,
who spend the six working days in the week in
factories and Offices in labor and sleep, must
have their Sunday ball tossing. Where the
march of the city growth has moved but slowly
and vacant lots afford the opportunity for
possible, if inadequate ball ground. where first
base is a tin and second bowlder, here,
enthusiastic and happy his native heath is
the Sunday baseball player.
There is ancient and time honored enmty
between the Sunday ball player and the police
man on the beat. Time without end, going back
to the days of the grim old Dutch proprietors,
the arm of the law has rested upon the shoulder
of the Sunday ball player. But to-day the smile
of fortune has turned. The ancient foe stands
impotent and raging, or interested and applau-
sive, at the outside line of the diamond lodging
the foul tips with the same lack of dignity as
the least important spectator. No longer has
he the power to drag to court the players In
a recent decision, setting forth the right of the
citizen to engage in baseball Sunday pro-
vided admission fee is charged and no dis

him to the coaching lines.
OF course. if the Gothamite insists on seeing a
real professional game, he can find it on Jersey
ball grounds, at which admission fees are
charged. Here local league favorites play under
assumed names for a Sunday stipend and fur
nish the real fan with all the excitement and
scientific sport he desires. Baseball, then, is the
most attractive form of amusement on Sunday;
for the moment it happens not to be illegal. but
no one knows how soon the pendulum may
swing in the other direction, as it has frequent
ly of yore.
But there is even more important side to
Sunday pleasure East of Milwaukee New-York

Resurrection" Count Leo Tolstoi's
latest and most powerful study of
the human emotions. has proved itself
one of the great dramatic sensations
of the day. Henry BrltOff, the Rus
sian scholar speaking of 'Resurrec-
tion." says: Resurrection Is broad
and deep and high as life itself. 1t
is an ocean--the ocean of life-rock-
ed by storm and lulled to sleep and
ease by master hand. which seems
to hold the key to the bosom of this
ocean. In the splash of every wave
is heard the story of human emo
tions. misery, disenchantment, suffer-
ing, crime-horrid, repulsive crime
And life that is something true in
art" -.
The original American production
of Resurrection" will abe given in
this city at the Auditorium for three
nights and matinee beginning to-
morrow evening, by a specially Sc
lected company. under the direction
of Alden Benedict.
