FRUIT CARS
COLLIDE IN FOG
Serious Head.On Collision on
Church Street and Several
We're Hurt
NO ONE WAS TO BLAME

The dense fog Of early this morning,
coupled with a disarrangement of
signal lights, with which some per-
sons, probably boys, meddled, was re-
sponsible for the collision Of cars Nos.
81 and So. of the Wilmington Railway
Company, in Church street between
Ninth and Tenth streets. between
and o'clock, in which several persons
were injured. but not seriously There
is a single track in Church street, and
cars running in that thoroughfare
meet on a switch. The collision was a
head-on affair and the cars came to-
gether with considerable force.
Cut by Flying Glass.
There were a number Of passengers
in both cars. and those who were not
cut by flying glass, were badly shaken
I'D and frightened. Motorman G. j.
Johnson, of car No. 81, narrowly
escaped serious injury. The front end
Of his car was crushed in and he sus-
tained a badly cut leg. Miss Mary
Couch, of No 90 KirlSwood street, was
one Of the passengers to fare the worst.
She sustained lacerations about the
head and face. Another passenger, a
man, whose name NouAV nv ~
received a broken nose.
: Nearly all the windows Of both cars
were broken by the force Of the col
lsion and the flying particles Of glass
caused most Of the injuries sustained
by the passengers.
No blame is attached to the car
crews for the accident. as it was due
to the dense fog along Church street,
which thoroughfare is close to the
e,Rrandywine creek, and the malicious
Advancement Of the signal lights.

NOT TO BUILD

Proposed TO Discontinue the
LyCeum and Present All
Shows at Opera House

AS tho result Of a deal between
theatrical interests here. the proposed
new Majestic Theatre win not be built
at present. The Opera House, con-
trolled by the Opera House Company
and Nixon and Zimmerman connec-
tions win take its plnce. The deal
win effect the Lvceum Theatre. and it
is probable that that playhouse. now
controlled by George H. Nicolal. Dud-
ley Meadow and Frank Burt. who
were 20 build the Majestic. win be dis
continued after July , when the pres
ent lease expires. TIE new arrange
ment viii 20 into effect next August.

day. The name OF the new concern,
II any IS TO be formed. the parties in

not been made public.
According to the announcement, the
better class of melodramas now play
ed at the Lvceum win be played at tho
Opera House for three nights at the
same prices now charged at the
Lyceum. 10, 20 and 90 cents for NATL
nees, and night performances, 10. 90.
30 and 90 cents. The big dramatic
and musical attractions which were to
have been presented in the Majectic
win be played az a slight advance for
the remaining nights Of the week az
the Opera House. The idea IS that tho
one big house, II kept open every night
except Sunday win accommodate the
theatre going public In this city.
Should Il be found that such a plan
would not be feasible. however, The
new theatre would be erected IN a shori
time. The only statement IN regard
to the proposed building Of the Ma
jestic IS that Il will not be built al
present owing TO the money scare. Il
Is probable that In view Of the I'm.
