Railroad News

About 1880 o'clock this morning the Louisville and Nashville train, No. 4. from New Orleans reached the union railway station, seven hours and a half late.
 The cause of the delay was that a boat in passing the draw of the Louis vile and Nashville bridge over Pearl River struck the bridge and knocked 1t out of place. This was some time before daylight yesterday morning. Pearl River Is a few miles east of Rigolets and all traffic was blocked from New Orleans to that point. Train No. 6. due from New Orleans at 5:55 p. m, reached Montgomery at 9:20 p. m. three hours and twenty minutes late. This train was made up at Biz loxi.
 A train was made up here and sent north at 6:33 as No. 4. the Western making up train and sending it to Atlanta at 6:30 o'clock as No. 36.

style, and his makeup and facial ex- pression was startlingly realistic. The difficult role of Zilpha, the Gipsy girl, wrung with the conflicting emotions between love and hate, was assigned to Miss Selbie. She is a handsome wo- man and she gave a vivid picture of the sinuous Egyptian woman, but her reading was often imperfect. Miss Ib- botson played the hideous Gipsy hag perfectly and MT. Holstein made Clar- ence Rock, the deceitfuI, scheming ne'er-do-well so convincing as to earn the cordial dislike of the audience.
 A full paragraph is to be set aside for Mir. Wilson's dainty leading woman, Miss Rhoads, who played Rosie Teller. She more than shared the honors with her principal Slender of figure pretty of face, with youth and intelligence, she was the chief figure in the play. There was no straining for effect She carried her audience with her from the beginning and merited the applause which she received. Then. too, in a bit of duet with MT. Wilson in the second act Miss Rhoads proved that she has a singing voice as well as the star The future has promise for this girl in her profession.
 The new songs introduced by Mir. Wilson in The German Gipsy" were the same tuneful, lyrical numbers that he has given us before. The most pop ular of them were Gretchen" and Under the Harvest Moon.' He would do well to cast out, The Girl for Me-" It is wholly unsulted to his voice and to his method of work. As lagniappe and in response to repeated encores, Mir. Wilson sang The Winding of the Yarn After this we were convinced that MT. Ellis wrote a better play this season than before, but his songs are in the past.
 The scenic equipment of the play was appropriate. the wheat field scene of the last act being especially beau tiful.
