Grand Opera House.

This is the second season of uninter- rupted success of that powerful play, "The Convict's Daughter" which will appear at the Grand Opera house next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with Wednesday matinee. The theaters were not large enough to hold the throngs for this attraction. The public came, saw and went away delighted. They had seen a very meritorious perform ance and grand dramatic story clev- erly written by an American author and acted by capable company. The beautiful story of "The Convict's Daughter" went straight to the heart and forced itself upon their memory such as no other play had ever done. The opening act, Colonel Gould's Ken lucky home, had such an atmosphere of love and sunshine in it that it crept over the footlights and nestled among the audience. In fact, the scene was so pretty and realistic that they did not see the approaching clouds that were slowly but surely shutting out the pret- ty picture.
 There is only one way to appreciate this beautiful and startling melodrama go and see it. It is especially written for the family and presents the drama true to life in great many households.

ROAD AND EMPLOYES.
GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE AND
 THE PAT QUESTION

Want It Referred to the Roads Board of
 DircctoTs-Progress of che Strike Vote
 -swItchmsn to be Talked to Tonight
 -DisagFeeing Unioms, Etc.
 While waiting the result of the poll of the conductors and trainmen on the question of authorizing the grievance committee to order a strike, the com mittee has sent a letter to President Hall of the New Haven road asking that he refer the question of pay and schedules to the board of directors, which meets in New York on Saturday.
 The vote of the trainnen here and in the New York direction is now going strongly in favor of a strike, but the company asserts that the ballot is not secret one and that the blank is pre- sented directly for signature to the men by agents of the brotherhoods. In Massachusetts on the other hand, the reports as to the polling are unfavora- ble to a strike. The trouble with fire men appears to be satisfactorily settled. This poll by the way will not end ur1- til g o'clock Monday morning, when the votes will be brought here and counted. There will be over 5000 of them alto gether to count, so that the result of the count of votes will not be known Monday night, it is thought:
 Grand Master Switchn1an Frank T. Hawley is announced to address the switchmen tonight at Turn hall on the pending issues. The Switchmen's union and the Trainmen's union are not on the best of terms, it is said. A friend of the latter said yesterday: "The coming of MT. Hawley here at this | time to address organized labor will tend to complicate matters for us. l consider that he is coming to injure us." The speaker then went on to ques- l tion MT. Hawley's motives, said that he was apt to be heard from where the trainmen were trying to get an in- crease.
 The speaker further said: ''Mr. Flaw | ley will take the position in talking to the labor people that the trainmen are unfair to organized labor in that the trainmen take in men to their associa- ton who are outside of their own line of work, and in this way prevent the switchmen from securing accessions to their ranks of men who are switch men, and as such belong in the Switchmen's union. In other words, MT. Hawley will try to prejudice union labor against us"
 1 This statement shows that there is l feeling between the two unions. It is said that the Switchmen's union has about one hundred members on the Consolidated system, a lodge in each New York, Boston and New Haven.
 The Locomotive Bremen have been considering the case of Engineer Fox and have sent another letter to Presi- dent Hall in regard to the matter. Ma tional Officer Fitzpatrick of the train men, paid visit to the grievance com- mittee of the firemen, and was with them eor several hours yesterday fore noon. This was said to be ga social call" Whether it will have any bear ing on the labor situation in case the trainmen conclude to strike and the firemen are unsatisfied remains to be seen.

 Martin Harvey, the eminent young English actor. and his entire London company and production in Rev. Free man Wills dramatization of Dickens masterpiece. "A Tale of Two Cities" known as ''The Only Way" will be presented by Messrs. Klaw and Erlan- ger. managers of his American tour, on March 17 at the Hyperion.
 It was in this stirring play that MT. Harvey attained international celebrity on the conclusion of his opening night about four years ago at the Lyceum theater, London. During the three years of its run in England it was ac- corded the same reception by public and critics that attained it's long run at the Herald Square theater, New York striking for the unanimity fits praise. The story of "The Only Way" follows the lines of the great novel very closely and MT. Harvey's many-sided art is af- forded wide scope by his portrayal of the dissolute Carton. His personal magnetism, his deep sympathy, delicacy of touch and utter simplicity of manner give the characterization the finish that makes the success he has scored read | fly understood. His wonderful voice one of those the tones of which are not easily forgotten-gives the last touch to his art-an art that is higher through its close adherence to nature. His rem dition of the drunken scene in the early portion of the drama is striking bit of expression through expression, which although restrained and quiet, reveals the true nature of Carton without a false note being struck. He is indeed | the husky-voiced besotted profligate,
 but deep down in his heart are the in- | stincts of a gentleman and hero
 which eventually triumph in his final
 act of self-sacrifice for his friend and
 his love on the guillotine. Selfsacri-
 fee is the motive throughout the l drama.
 Included in MT. Harvey's company
 are some of the best known players on
 the English stage. among them being ] Miss N. de Silva, Miss Amy Coleridge, Mrs. B. M. de Sola, Miss Mercy Fuller,
 William Haviand, Percy Anstey, Full
 Ter Mellish, Frederick Wright, ST., and
 A. B. Imeson. Seats now on sale. Prices $1.50 $1 and 75 cents.

MAURICE GRAU TO FRANCE
May Return to Manage French Theater.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Maurice .Gfau,, accompanied by his. wife,
and Miss Louise Grau, sailed for Havre on
the French line steamer: La Savoie. When
they arrived on the vessel they found the
rooms which they will occupy filled with
flowers. s:.,-.
Until the moment of sailing Mr. Grau
was kept busy saying good-by to his
friends, most of whom were from the
Metropolitan opera-h house. He said:
II going over for my health. I am
played out and my future plans will all,
depend on the state Of my health after
about a year Of complete rest. A few
weeks stay in Paris and then we will 60.
to my country home at Croissy. Of do not
KNOW when shall return to New York.
1t may be in about a year from next Octo-.
Der and it may be longer
1T has been said that you might re-
turn here with French opera company
That Is rather wild statement to
make. 1t might just as we'll be said that
I will return with a Chinese or Hindoo
opera company. There is just as much
chance of returning with a French COM
pany a. there is of my returning with any
other. I am thru with opera. I may re-
turn and go into business here, but that,
too, depends on the state of my health.
I would rather go into business here, for
I have more friends in New York than
have In Paris or the other side.''
Speaking Of the offer he had received
from Charles Frohman, Mr. Grau said:
"Mr. Frohman has spoken to me re-
garding a French ~theater, but that is
something in the future, and which I
cannot go into now. I will see Mr.. Froh-
man in Paris and we will talk the matter
over"
Mr. Grau said that Mr.. Conreied had his
best will and he was sure that New York
would enjoy just as fine operas In the flu
ture in the Metropolitan opera-hotlse as
had been heard in the past
