A WELL PLEASED AUDIENCE
Greeted dorothy Vernon of Haddon
Hail. at the Academy of Music Last
Night-Train Was Late and Matinee
Had TO be Called on.

One of the most finished and thor
oughly enjoyable attractions OF the
entire season was that of Dorothy
Vernon of Hadden Hall" played by
Miss Laura Burt in the title roll and
splendid supporting company, at the
Academy of Music last night. The
audience was not nearly as large as
was deserved and it is the misfortune
or lovers OF romantic opera who were
not present, that they missed the
splendid production offered Miss
Burt gave on Interpretation 70 her
difficult role that it is hard TO con-
ceive could be improved on. She has
line stage presence and a magnetic
ideal person TO portray the deligh full
voice and in every way seemed the
character Of Dorothy Vernon, the
whimsical and fetching mistress of
Hadden Hall.
Mr.. Henry Stanford as Sir John
Manners left nothing TO be desired
IN his conception of the roll of Miss
Dorothy's lover. All the characters
were portrayed by actors of undoubted
merit and few attractions ever offered
here have given more pleasure.
The stage settings were appropriate
and superb and as was the costuming
of each of the separate parts. The
play is taken from we'll known and
popular novel of the same name and
Is rendered in four acts, each of which
constantly delights.
Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hail.
was to have been presented at matinee
yesterday but thy did not get to Will
mlngton until $3.50 and, of course, the
| matinee had to be called off. They
came in via the Seaboard from Char
lotte and the train which should have
reached the city at l 0 clock did not
get n until about $50. The delay was
| caused by the track being wet and on
some of the heavy grades west Of Ham
| let very slow time was made. AS it
happened he afternoon was stormy
and the probabilities are that the COM
pany would not have had much of an
audience had the matinee taken place.
1t rained at intervals during the after
| noon and was accompanied by brisk
| winds which made it all the more dis
| agreeable

NORTHEAST RIVER BRIDGE

The People of Pender County Favor
the Proposition-Prospe are very
Bright for Having a Bridge at Cas-
tie Haynes Instead of a Ferry-Peo-
pie of the Two Counties are United
on the Matter and With Such the
Case it is Hard to See How the prop
osition Can Fall Through-What a
Pender County Man Thinks of it.
1t seems that the prospects of hav-
ing a bridge over the Northeast river
at or near Castle Haynes are brighter
now than ever before and it is but ma
tural for the two counties to take a
step forward In this matter for in every
line eastern North Carolina has ad-
vanced wonderfully during the past
few years and no section more than
New Hanover and PePnder counties.
There should b bridge over tn North
east river, this is a well recognized
fact and the people of the two counties
seem determined to have tn long de-
sired bridge. The commissioners of
New Hanover will certainly do their
part and as has been previously stated
1t is up to the Pender county author
ties and they have showed how they
feel by agreeing to meet New Hanover
on equal terms.
The following communication in the
last issue of the Pender Chronicle by
R. P. Paddison, a resident of Point
Caswell, is an evidence of the way the
Pnder county people feel in regard 20
the matter:
eve wish to take Off our shats to
the New Hanover commissioners for
the resolution recently past by that
body declaring for a bridge over the
Northeast river at Castle Hayne and
more particularly do we congratulate
our Pender commissioners for their de-
cision to meet them On equal terms by
paying half the cost of the bridge. This
is spirit of liberty that will be heart
lily endorsed by every progressive and
Intelligent citizen in the county and
will be a monument to the liberal and
progressive board of commissioners of
Pender county.
''The days of old ferrys and especial
ly past ones are past, the people in this
day and time need and demand and
are entitled to quick transportation and
free highways. No man in the coun-
ty will rejoice over the new steel
bridge when completed, more than the
writer
eve regret to see so much political
controversy going on in your paper,
certainly it does no good either to in
dividual parties or the democratic
party. We will be rejoiced when the
9Th of November is past"

ted at 100000.
Governor Magoon has directed Gov
ernor Nunez Of Havana province to ex.
tend assistance to BatabanO, declaring
that if the provincial treasury has not
sufficient funds he will find other
means for relieving distress.
The mayor of San Luis, in the pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio and the centre
| Of the rich Tobacco distrcict, reports
great damage to seed tobacco, but no
| loss of lfe.
| Governor Silva of Camaguey says 10
| hurricane was experienced there.

Linton is Connected With Alleged
Deal-Packers Deny Any knowledge
of the Transaction.

Chicago, October 20.-The Evening

any official capacity with any Of the
large Chicago packing houses could

The story printed in the Post is to
the effect that the combination is to

900 and to be controlled from England
where the majority of the money for
the consolidation is said to be COM
ing from. 1t is declared that the Ar
mOur interests are to dominate the
consolidation and that it will include
the following concerns in this city:
Armour Packing Company; Swift and
Company: Nelson Morris and Com
pany; National Packing Company
Schwarzschild and Sulzeberger and
the Cudahy Packing Company.
According to the Post the prolong-
ed stay of Sir Thomas Upton in this
country is connected with the alleged
consolidation.
When asked tonight regarding the
amalgamatiOn of the meat packing IN
terests, J. Ogden Armour said:
ST know nothing whatever about
such a proposal. In fact this is the
first that I have heard about 1t, and
am sure if such transaction were
contemplated I should have some
knowledge of it,
Louis Swift. of Swift and Company
also emphatically denied that there
was any foundation for such a report
During the afternoon Mr.. Armour
and Mr.. Swift were in conference, but
it was denied that the meeting had

Syracuse, n. Y, October 20.-Dur-
between the teams from Syracuse and
Colgate Universities at New Star Park
here this afternoon, a portion of the
upper section of the bleacher stands
collapsed. The stands were densely
packed and four hundred persons were
the stands.
No one was killed outright, but of
the 100 or more injured the death of
three Of them is expected. The Rev.
Christopher J. DOnigan, assistant pas
tor Of st. Johns The Evangelist church
sustained an injury to his spine which
may prove fatal. Professor w. NJ.
Lusk, principal of the Union Free
School, Hamilton, also sustained a Sc
rious injury to his spine and he is in
precarious condition at a hospital.
John West, of Rome, is injured inter-
nally and may die.
The accident occurred just after the
resumption of play in the second half.
The intense rivalry between the two
teams brought out the largest crowd
that has ever attended football game
in Syracuse. There were 5000 persons
in the stands and bleachers and in the
side lines and the excitement all
through was at fever heat.
Suddenly there was a crash as fifty
feet Of the bleachers gave way and
the occupants were thrown into the
enclosure.
People rushed from the stands to
the scene of the accident but a dozen
men blocked the gate that led to the
rear Of the ollapsed stands and pre-
vented a rush of the panic stricken
people on to those buried under the
debris.
The injured were soon taken out
and the game proceeded.
