SEMBRICH WAS SCARED.
A Battery Blew Out in the Metropoli-
tan Opera House.

New York, Feb. 11.-There was much
confusion and some alarm in the dress
circle of the Metropolitan opera house
last night when during the second act
of Lucia a sheet of flame and a cloud
of smoke burst from an electric bell at
one side of the main entrance to the
circle. Nine. Sembrich and M. Cam
panari were on the stage at the time,
and both looked startled, as they clear
" could see the smoke. The members
of the orchestra saw it, too, and there
was an instant's pause. Several wo-
men rose from their seats and started
to enter the aisles. In an instant ushers
crowded down the aisles, assuring ev-
erybody that there was not the slight
est danger and soon restored conf
dence. An usher said that a battery
had blown out.

New England "Connecting Link"
Railway Has Been Absorbed.

New York, Feb. 11.-Negotiations are
reported to have been completed by
agents of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford for the absorption of the
Central of New England railway. The
latter was of little value outside of it's
strategic Importance as an Independent
connecting link between the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania and
New England The road was merely
a connecting link and was blocked on
one end by the big anthracite carriers
and on the other by the New Haven.
AS a part of the consolidated system it
would give the New Haven direct con-
nection with the Erie, the New York,
Ontario &, Western and a branch of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
and the shortest route from the coal
fields to New Jersey by way of the
Poughkeepsie bridge. which is the only
railroad structure across the Hudson
river south of Albany.
The Central of New England was
first brought into prominence about
five years ago by it's fight for a right
of way across a farm in Connecticut.
The farm was secured and the right
Of way completed, although the road
finally lost its case in the courts and
had to make detour of four miles to
accomplish a distance OF 30 feet.

sale is not known,

accessory
