BAkLADE OF DEAD ACTORS.

Where are the passions they essayed,
And where the tears they made to

Where the wild humors they portraved
For laughing worlds to see and know?
Othello's wrath and Juliet's woe?
Sir Peters Whims and Tinon's gall?
And Millamont and Romeo?
Into the night go one and all
Where are the braveries. fresh or
frayed?
The plumes. the armors-friend and
foe2
The cloth of sold. the rare brocade.
The nantes slittering TO and fro?
The pOmp. the pride, the roval show?
The cries of war and festival?
The youth, the grace, the charms. the
glow?
Into the night 80 one and all
The curtain falls. y-se play is played;
The heggar uacl-s beside the beau:
The Monarch troops, and troops the
maid:
The thunder huddles with the snow
Where are the jewellers, high and low?
The clashing swords2 The lovers call?
The dancers cleaning row on row?

FIFTY PERSONS INJURED
CRASH ON PHILADELPHIA
CHESTER TROLLEY DUE TO FOG.
Car Loaded With Workmen FOL
Baldwin Shops Collides With
Coach From Chester.

PHILADELPHIA, September 23.-Fog
was responsible today for a head-on col
lision between two cars on the South
western Traction Company's line be-
tween this city and Chester, in which
about fifty persons were injured, several
probably fatally. A car leaving Phila-
delphia with workmen employed by the
Baldwin Locomotive Company at it's out
of-town plant. and known as the Bald
win tripper," was speeding along the
single track with seventy-two men on
board. when suddenly a car coming from
Chester loomed up in the fog. Before
brakes could be applied there was an
awful crash. Men were hurled in every
direction and both cars were wrecked.
Among the most seriously hurt were:
Edward Smith. leg cut off and shock.
NAV die; William Mullen, ribs crushed
in, may die: Philip flanagan. George A.
Caffrey. Harry Potter and N. Poscovitch,
hurt internally; Hiram Neill and John
p. Chalmers, broken legs.
Score or More in Hospitals.
In addition. a score or more are in va
rious hospitals with broken arms and
other injuries Most of them are suf-
fering from slight cuts.
The Baldwin tripper'' had waited on
the siding for the regular Philadelphia
bound car to pass, and then proceeded
toward the Baldwin works, the crew un-
aware that an extra car was coming
toward them on the same track AS a
heavy fog prevailed, a collision was in
eyitable.

WIRELESS TO HONOLULU
Prospect of Early Communication
From San Francisco.

HONOLULU. September 23.-The pros
pect of early wireless communication be-
tween the western coast of the United
States and the local station recently
equipped for service is made probable by
the announcement yesterday that the op-
orator In this city had overheard several
messages between San Francisco and YES
sells at sea or other coast stations.
Early last evening a message from some
undetermined coast point near San Fran
cisco intended for delivery at the Fair
mont Hotel was heard in transit. and later
i'm the day there was heard message sent
from San Francisco to Capt. Matson
aboard the steamer Lurine. then off the
coast
1t has been determined that the instru-
ments may be adjusted as to receive
messages in part or in whole while San
Francisco is conversing with Point Iona
or other coast stations. A powerful send
ing apparatus is now being installed here
and ii is hoped that a more effective com
municatiOn will soon be established.

CONTEST OVER INSURANCE.
M. S. Dollar Steamship Company
Sues for Recovery of $4,000.

SAN FRANCISCO. September pa
suit to recover insurance amounting to
$4,000 on a vessel alleged to have been
engaged in running the blockade during
the Japanese-RusSian war has been filed
in the United States district court in this
city. The NJ. S. Dollar Steamship Com
pany brings the action against the Mari
time Insurance Company. which wrote a
policy on the steamer NJ. S. Dollar in De-
cemher, 1904. just prior to the capture and
seizure of the vessel by the Japanese
The NJ. S. Dollar was afterward con-
demned and sold by the prize court
The insurance company contends that
the steamship company purposely OBJ
scured the destination of the vessel when
the policy was written, thus rendering it
void. 1t is alleged that the captain of the
NJ. S. Dollar. at the time of her seizure
was supplied with duplicate clearance
papers to show to either Japanese or Rus
sian naval officers.
One set. it is declared, indicated that his
destination was Vladivostok. his real OBJ
jective point. and the other is alleged to
have been Moji, Japan.

The trial of Gus Eberhard for the murder
of his aunt. Mrs. Ottillie Eberhard near
the Coalberg station of the Susquehanna
railroad July IS last. which has been in
progress since last Monday morning,
came to a sudden termination this morn
ing.
Before the opening of court there was a
long consultation between Judge Parker.
who presided at the trial; Prosecutor
koester and Peter W. Stagg. counsel for
the defendant
1t was 1920 o'clock before court was
opened. AS soon as Judge Parker had
taken his seat on the bench Stagg rose
and said he wished to enter plea of non
vult in behalf of the defendant. Prosecu-
tor koester then told the court he had
agreed to accept such a plea.
Stagg asked the court to defer the
sentence of the prisoner for a few days.
He said there were circumstances in the
case that he wanted to call to the atten-
ton of the court.
Insanity in Family.
Besides that, he desired the court should
have an opportunity to talk with the
parents of the prisoner. The young mans
grandfather. he said. had died in an in
sane asylum. The defendants sister is
now in an asylum on Long Island.
The young mans employer in Manhat
tan had told counsel that Eberhard had
been acting queerly for some time
previous to the murder. Stagg urged
that eff the hand of God had afflicted
the young man as regards his mental
condition the. court should take that
into consideration in pronouncing SEN
tence
Judge Parker said the prisoner had
shown by his plea of non vult that his
mental arrangement was not severe
enough to absolve him from the punish
ment that his crime called for The
judge said he was convinced that the
verdict of the jury would have been
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Sentence Is Pronounced.
He thought that sentence should be
pronounced without delay. Judge Par
ker then ordered Eberhard to stand up.
The prisoner arose and calmly faced the
bench. Judge Parker then said:
''Eberhard. there is only one course
TO thirty years at hard labor in state
prison"
Eberhard heard his sentence without a
culver. He was led away by two depu-
ties and taken back to his cell in the
county jail
While taken from the courtroom he had
to pass his father and mother. He be-
slowed not a look of recognition on
them.

much smoky, hazy weather prevailed.
Rains in Southwest.
Some heavy rains occurred along the
