REMARKABLE ACTS
Triple Feature Free Bin at the White
City.


The three great free acts at the
White City this week drew the largest
Monday crowds of the season yester-
day. Never in the history of the
west shore has such strong COM
bination of sensational free features
been offered to the public.
The intrepid boy wire walker,
Robbie De Castro, is a wonder. At a
height of ninety feet above the earth
he does all sorts of dangerous stunts
that actually make ones heart stand
still at times. One of these is his
disrobing act. He appears as a young
girl stylishly dressed, and while in
mid-air takes off hat, dresses, skirts
and shoes, right down to his tights
OF all sensations in the athletic line
that of Waite, the cylinder cycle Won
der, may be classed among the first.
With furious speed he circles about a
great cylinder cage on a wheel stand
ing almost out straight from the
sides, his terrific momentum alone
keeping him from falling.
The ballooning may we'll be classed
sensational. Young French to-day
will try a triple parachute drop from
Mack's new balloon, the largest in
the world, and which carries the aer-
onaut distance Of two miles in the
air
The Kriss Kross continues to alb
serb popular attention. 1t is a mar
velous ride.

the railroad track to the scene. He
found his three daughters upon the
ground, where tender hands had plac-
ed them after taking them from the
wreck.
Huff inquired for his wife, and,
learning she was near by among the
dead, he sought out her DoQy Whlcn
was lying alongside that of her babe.
Upon catching sight Of the bodies Huff
collapsed.
| Physicians and assistance were sum-
moned from Kittanning, ten miles
away, and two wrecking trains with
another corps of physicians were sent
from this city. The dead were taken
to Kittanning, where they were pre-
pared for burial, and the injured that
needed hospital attention were also
| taken to Kittanning. A number of
the injured were able to proceed to
their destinations after having their
injuries dressed at the scene of the
wreck.
Telegraph lines were carried down
| by the cars falling against the tele-
graph poles, and accurate news of the
wreck was difficult to obtain until q
late hour, Reports of large number
! of dead were spread broadcast, but as
soon as communication was restored

/ cial list of dead and injured. All the
victims were residents of western
. Pennsylvania. Late tonight traffic
was restored at the scene Of the
| wreck.

The Shark Now
in Her Element

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-After
months of delay Jack London s Shark,
the vessel in which he proposes to sail
to every port of Importance In the
world, was launched Saturday morn
ing at Hunters Point. She was tow
ed TO the wharf at the foot of Twelfth
street in East Oakland, where she is
now lying awaiting the completion of
the work to be done on her interior.
Captain Roscoe Eames and his wife
were present at the launching, but Mr..
London was not. He made a trip to
East Oakland yesterday afternoon,
where he inspected the vessel and gave
directions for the necessary work.
The Shark is forty-fve feet long at
her water line and tifty-seven feet over
all, and has ifteen-foot beam.
Mr.. London said: 81 have been
greatly disappointed in the prog
ress made in the construction of the
Shark, and did not attend the launch
ing. Numerous delays in procuring the
proper materials have made it impos-
sible for the ship builders to complete
their work on time, and we do not hope
to set sail before the last of the pres.
emit month";

THE MONEY IS
NOW PAID OVER
Diamond Head Athletic Club
Buys Out the Oahu Mines
League Interest.

The Diamond Head Athletic Club
yesterday purchased the interest of the
Oahus in the Honolulu Baseball League
for $500. The money has been paid
over and all the attendant formalities
are complete.
The league trustees met at noon yes
terday to discuss the matter.
The principal opposition to the pur-
chase of the franchise came from the
Fl. A. C.'s, who wanted the league te
buy the Oahus' interest. The long and
short of it is that the Diamond Heads
had the cash in hand and the league
wanted time in which to make theiI
payment. Ready money won.
The Diamond Heads will now enter
the race for the pennant with a team
which should give the Honolulu public
the brand of ball which they will pay
to see.
What will become Of the Males
franchise is at present undecided. Ii
is understood, however, that the Rapid
Transit Athletic Club are willing to
purchase an interest in the league for
the sum of $3.50. 1t is possible that the
Punahous may sell for this amount.
At a meeting of the Diamond Heads
held in the rooms of the Y. III. c. A.
last night the action of the committee
making the franchise deal was ratified
1t was decided to pay $3.50 out of the
treasury to help meet the purchased
interest obligation and $500 was sub
scribed on the spot by the members
present.
It was stated that figuring on last
seasons gate receipts the Diamond
Heads might safely count on $3.50 q
year as their share of the seasons
profits The expenses of running
team for the season will be about $500
which will leave a net profit of $15O
The franchise has six years to run, SC
that the investment looks. at this dis.
tdnce, TO De a SOou one.
Chairman Petrie urged all present te
pull together and above all to foster
club spirit. He said that the public
would expect great things from their
baseball team, and that It was up te
them to see that they were not disap-
pointed He advised the boys to do al
they could to keep the game clean from
the faint of professionalism.
e. Fernandez was elected manager OF
the baseball team for the coming sea-
son.
