ALL PASSENGERS
ESCAPE DEATH
BY MIRACLE
Chicago Flyer Jumps Track, Slides
Down Embankment Into River
and Turns 0Ver-Only One
Seriously Hurt
ALL ON TRAIN, HOWEVER,
MORE OR LESS INJURED

Johnstown, Pa, Feb. %. The Penn
sylvania Special, the famous eighteen
hour New York-Chicago train of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, was wrecked at
Mineral Point, seven miles east of here,
last night about midnight.
None of the passengers we're killed
and but one, John P. Kline, of Joliet,
Illinois, probably fatally injured.
Practically all the fifty-four passen-
gers on the train were more or less
hurt. Ten injured were taken to the
Altoona hospital. The others were
able to continue their journey.
The escape of the occupants of the
train from death were little short of
miraculous.
The train was running at the high
speed of more than fifty miles an hour
when the last three cars of the train,
Pullman sleepers, suddenly left the
rails,
They turned over twice and then slid
down the sixty foot embankment into
the Conemaugh river.
The cars went through the heavy ice.
Thers was little water in the river.
There was no danger of drowning.
The wreck, It is though, was caused
by the dropping of the brake iron on
the first sleeper following the locomo-
tive and combination car.
The rigging lodged under tie, de-
railing the following cars.
The locomotive and combination car
remained on the track.
Relief trains were at once despatched
from Johnstown, Altoona and Pitts
burg. Eight injured we're taken to the
Altoona hospital, four more were sent
to Pittsburg and taken to the Allegheny
General hospital.
The other passengers, in insufficient
clothing and shivering, many with
nothing to cover them but blankets and
bed clothing, were also sent to Pitts
burg,
The railroad supplied them with food
and medical attendance and sent them
on west on special train which left
Pittsburg at 10 o'clock today.
Shortly after the relief passenger
train left Mineral Point for Pittsburg
a praise service was held in the coaches.
The Rev. Edgar Cope, pastor of the
Saint Simeon Protestant Episcopal
church, Philadelphia, made snort ad-
dress, and led in prayer.
''Let US thank God," he said, "that
every man, woman and child on that
Inflated train escaped death"
OF the thirty injured passengers who
went west in the special train four were
taken to Pittsburg hospital, seriously
but not fatally injured.
John P. Kline, in the Altoona hos
pital. is reported to be dying.

Carleton Macy and Edna Halls ru- raI comedy ''The Magpie and the Jay has struck very responsive chord in the hearts of local vaudeville devoteees for both performances yesterday were VII attnded at Poli's. The sketch is one of the most refined comedy screamers seen here this season and Liz, the Bow cry type, has her audiences with her through the periods of comedy and pa those which she so forcibly presents The sketch is a winner.
 Bowers, Walters and Crooker as the acrobatic Rubes, are the type of rapid workers that vaudeville delights in pre- septing and they too come in for gen. eral appreciation.
 Stuart Barnes, the nonologue man the five Nosses in their picturesque number; Ella Grammar, the dainty sing ing comedienne; Gaston and Greene in bits of musical comedy; Namon and Lawson in Wanted, a Caddle, and new series of pictures of Niagara and the Antics of schoolboys at Home makes up the bill.

ored troupe of performers before the public, offers something entirely new in the entertainment line. It is a com edy drama of the wholesome, relishing sort, set to music that is above the or dinary in merit and tunefulness. It Is called "The Black Politician" and is in three acts. The piece could easily pass muster without any music at all, for it possesses exceptional dramatic quail ties, has an absorbing and plausible plot, and is interesting from start to finish. There is enough fun in the pro- duction to stock at least dozen shows without even robbing the play of its successful features. It contains any amount of novelties, merry jests, catchy melodies, and has a supporting compa- ny that could easily shine in any com edy. s. H, Dudley has the principal role and in the part of Hezekiah Doc, a politician wiao helps to beat the fath- CT of the girl he loves in a fair and square election contest, he is side-split- ting in the extreme.
 This organization has set such rapid pace in winning public approval in the past that further introduction should be unnecessary. However, it is safe to say that this season the com pany is stronger than ever and should establish a new record as dispensers of wholesome, spontaneous humor and wit. The songs by the way, have the true popular jingle to them and are sung in a style that reflects credit up- on the talented singers. There is any amount of dancing, grctesque and straight, some buffoonry, etc.. and all told, the entertainment smacks of the kind that finds access to the heart. It will be the attraction at the New Ha- ven theater, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, April 22, 2S and "A. The usual matinee will be given on Wednesday. Regular popular prices.

ALTAR BOYS ENTERTAINMENT.
 Delightful Event Held in Harmonic

The entertainment and dance given by the St. Marys Altar Boys last eV enlng and yesterday afternoon in Har- monie hall was an extremely enter taining affair. The excellent perfor- nance of the altor boys in all stages of the entertainment reflected meritous- ly upon the long and tedious drilling of the boys by the Dominican Sisters of St. Mary's, Tn the afternoon, which was set aside for the children, besides the entertainment, all kinds of games were arranged from four until six o'clock the children were afforded amusement of various natures, making menDbrance.
 The entertainment which was held both in the afternoon and evening can- not be spoken to highly of. Each men- Der on the programme appeared more interesting than the proceeding one. In the evening after the entertainment there was dancing, with music by Stanford's orchestra
 The proceeds of this entertainment are for the benefit of the St. Mary's Rector's fund.

 School for Ladies-NOted Women
 Who Graduated From the Seminary.
 Rev. Dr. Charles Huntington Gard ner, father of Mrs. Norris G. Osborn, of this city, died at his home in New York yesterday morning, in his sgd year.
 Dr. Gardner was born in Worthing- ton, Mass, and was graduated from Williams college with the class of 1S47, After his graduation he taught for some time in the famous Halsey boys school in Elizabeth, N.

 Tn the autumn of 1854 he was elect ed president of the Claversack insti- tute at Claversack, N. Y, and while there had as pupils Judge Gildersleeve, Hon.

THEATER ATTRACTIONS.
THE GREAT QUESTION AND THE
 CLOAK MODEL.

Two of the Lending Dramas-The For
 mer at the Hyperion and ''The Cloak
 Modep at the New Haven Theater-
 Nathan Hale at Bijou, and Splendid
 Card at Polls.
 The biggest sensation of the present theatrical season in Paris, Anna Ka7 renina," the triumphant dramatization of Count Leo Tolstois famous novel of that name, is to be presented for the first time in America at the Hyperion theater tonight under the title of "The Great Question with Virginia Harmed in the highly emotional role of Anna.
 This stage version of the wonderful masterpiece of the great Russian writer has been holding the boards at the Theater Antoine in Paris for re- markable run of 125 nights most un- usual record for a play ip the French capital, and bids fair to continue in- definitely there.
 Madame Megar who is enacting the part of Anna in Paris has been hailed as "the Russian Frou Frou." It is the most intensely powerful character ever attempted by Miss Harmed in her entire career. The play itself is a massive and and magnificent production, consisting of five acts and seven scenes, and it's in- terpreting cast will number over sixty people. The scenic seIr1ngs are excep- tionally pretentious, one act represent ing the race course at Tsarkoe Selo, outside St. Petersburg, with the thrill ing accident at the hurdles in Yronsky' s ride upon his horse, Frou Frou. This scene is a glitter of uniform and re- galia.
 Another scene represents the final suicide of the passion-ruined Anna Karenina, when she throws herself un- der the huge wheels of the locomotive The horrible tragedy is not actually seen but the illusion of the passing train, with it's locomotive and eight coaches dashing across the stage un- der clouds of smoke and steam will be it is declared, most realistically repre- sented. In Paris this illusion was SC excitingly real that the audiences were completely carried away by the tragic effectiveness of this climax of Anna'E self-destruction. This illusion alone re. quired one of the most intricate anc colossal pieces of mechanism ever uset in a stage production, eight engines alone being employed.
 The drama itself (written by the cele brated French playwright, Edmund Guiraud), is of the highest intrinsic merit as a worthy footliight setting O Tolstoi's masterwork and does not de pend upon it's sensational scenic feat ures for it's notable triumph.
 It does not follow the novel closely in all details, but is in the main pow erful and picturesque portrayal or tha romance of guilty passion which rank' among the worlds great modern TO mances and which established Tolstoi world rank as a novelist
 'grhe Great Question" will be repeated tomorrow afternoon and evening.
