The Kansas City Star of a re-
cent date says, ''It is painfully
obvious that John Sharp Williams
works his middle name much too
hard in striving to build up rep
utation as an orator." Let's see,
the Star is for Roosevelt & Fair
banks. Sharp things are apt to
cut or skin, either is apt to be
painful" or hurt which is apt to
cause howl. If John Sharp Will
liams should happen to read that
issue of the Star he will know
that his ammunition was not al
together wasted.

MISSED BAD WRECK.
Empire state Express Hit Freight
Train ut Albany.

ALBANY. n. Y, Oct. 15.-The EN-
pire State express train on the New
York Central missed serious wreck
in the Rensselaer, yards, across the
river from here last night, largely be-
cause she was not yet under full speed
in her journey to New York. As it
was, one man, fireman, was killed,
one engineer slightly injured, and two
locomotives were badly wrecked,
The Empire State just out of Al
bany at p. m, collbled with light
engine which was standing on the
main line track. A. w. Parsons of
Peekskill, fireman of the light engine
was almost instantly killed, and Engi-
neer Colard of Albany was slightly
injured. No one on the express train
was hurt, but her engine was badly
damaged and derailed.
After delay of more than an hour
another engine was secured. and the
Empire State proceeded to New York.
1t is said the accident was due to
towerman's error in passing one Of two
light engines from the main line into
the romdhouse and inadvertently lock-
ing out the other until too late to pass
her out of the way of the express.

Crossman and her company went to
Trenton with the purpose of present
ing Sweet Kitty Bellairs" at the State
Street theater They were refused adj
mission to the house. and as a result
suit will be brought against l.. c. Mish-
Ter, manager of the house. for violation
Of contract. The contract was can
celled few days ago by Mishler, but
Belasco and Miss Crossman, ignoring
this, came TO Trenton with their com
pany and went through the formali-
ties of presenting themselves AT the
theater only to be refused admission.
Belasco said that the cancelling of
the contract by MiShler was the result
Of the State Street theater ceasing to
be an independent house. He charges
that the theater is now under the di-
rection of Klaw & Erlanger, the head
of the theatrical syndicate and that
Mishler was simply carrying out the
directions OF the syndicate.
Mr.. Belasco stated that suit for dam
ages would be instituted ut once in the
United States courts.
