RIVER CLOSES OVER AGAIN
Cold Snap of Saturday Night Makes
Quick Work Of II.

The cold snap of Saturday night had
the effect of again closing the river at
this point and now as far as the eye
can reach. the former vast expanse of
water is a solid sheet OF ice On ac
count of the calmness of the atmos-
phcrc Saturday night. the river froZe
over this time with much smoother
surface than has been known for sew
cral years and this fact will afford ex-
cellent skating and also be of vast as
sisiancc to the ice dealers in their an
nual harvest of their years ice crop.
This time the ferry took no chances
and is now in its winter quarters A
blizzard ragged during this morning,
and there was a big decline in tenn
perature between O'Clock and noon.

New York, Jan. 9.-More than twen-
ty members of the chorus of the Met
ropol:tan Grand Opera company were
seriously injured Saturday night by
the collapse of the bridge in the street
scene in the opening act of Carmen"
None of the principals was on the
stage at the time of the accident and
the uninjured members of the chorus
massed at the front of the stage and
sang on in an attempt TO prevent the
public from learning what had hap
pened. The curtain was rung down
as soon as possible and Heinrich Con-
ried, the impressario, prevented a
panic by urging the great audience to
remain seated and not be frightened.
