Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.


 Even the most critical can find no fault with the selections which Man ager Poll has made for the bill at the Jacques next week and which will be found very palatable to the public taste, The program will be diversified enough to suit everyone and will con- tain samples of the best entertainment the variety stage affords. The list will be topped off by two headlihers of such equal merit that it is impossible to discriminate between them. They will be Carmencita, the greatest Span ish dancer of the day, who will be as- sisted by Mile Aurora, an extremely beautiful young woman; and Pat Rooney. and Marion Bent, who will present their highly successful singing and dancing melange Make Yourself at Home" Carmencita is better known to the American public than any dancer who ever crossed the water and her reputation is great only on ac- count of her wonderful grace and skill in the languorous fandango and not be- cause of regal attention. Neither Pat Rooney nor Miss Bent need introduce ton to Waterbury folk, as everyone in the city knows of their pretty romance which resulted in the marriage per formed at the close of Mir Rooney's engagement here two years ago. There is not a nimbler pair of feet on the stage than tho diminutive Pats, and Miss Bents beauty and personal charm lend their act the touch of com pleteness. The balance of the bill Is exceptionally strong and will be made up of Miss Julie King and company. Miss Avery Strakosch, prima donna. Rochez's dogs and ponies, Paul stephens. the sensational equilibrist; Fields and WooIey. German comedians. and the eIectrograph. Prices arc l0 20 and 3O cents; matinee 10 and 2O cents, ladies 10.

HORSES MAD DASH
ALONG RAILROAD TRACKS
Runaway Team Creates EX-
citement on the p, B.
& w. Line

Much excitement was created along the
tracks Of the F., b. & W. railroad be-
tween Second and Fourth streets shortly
after noon today by the spectacle Of two
horses attached to a wagon dashing up
the track followed in close proximity by
an express train.
The team which is owned by Griffen-
burg and Salmon. truckers Of Summit
Bridge became frightened at Second and
Tatnau streets and began mad dash
down Second street. From Tatnall TO the
railroad all obstacles were miracously
avoided and the horses turning up the
tracks at the latter point continued to-
ward Third street. AS they swung on the
main track one OF the rear wheels came
Oft but the animals kept up their speed.
A few moments after they struck the
railroad train No &c. northbound. due out
of Wilmington about that time came
steaming up the tracks and it was neces-
sary for it to slow down III order to avoid
running into the wagon.
When near Third street crossing the
horses swerved and got on to the south
siding and after proceeding about 100
yards the axle caught in a switch and one
of tho horses was thrown. Railroad men
captured the horses and took them to the
yards Of Phillips and Thompson-egg
crates and empty boxes were streWu
along the tracks.

can show that this bin was doctored by
the friends of the whiskoy interests.
