NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept. L.
A balloon supposed to be one of those
that left Columbus, o., passed over the
eastern end of this city about 2:S0 this
afternoon.
The gas was escaping, and in passing
over the New York Central railroad
yards the basket struck freight car,
injuring three of the four occupants,
all Frenchmen.
One of them had two ribs broken.
All were very much excited.
The balloon continued on its way, but
soon afterward it parted from the
basket, which landed in the New York
Central cut at Devils Hole. The bal
loon dropped in the woods at Devoe
college. The injured Frenchman was
brought to the hospital here.
The victims are:
Capt. A. L. Mueller, spra1ned back
and scalp wounds
Gerald Gregory, scalp wounds.
Derry Gregory, back badly wrenched
and ankle sprained.
All are from Chicago. The balloon
left Columbus last night.
The three men remained in the basket
after it struck a freight car and the
injured men received their injuries
when the basket grounded.
The fourth occupant was badly
shaken up.

LONG BEACH, Sept. IA man who
insisted on paying his attentions to
women bathers and proved offensive to
several of them was in the surf today
The lifeguards noticed him at one time
attempting to draw away from the life
line little girl in a light blue bathing
suit. She resisted and clung to the
rope.
Later he asked a woman of middle
age to leave the rope and go out further
into the water with him. He drew her
with him and supported her in the
water, annoying her greatly. Dreading
a scene, however, she would not make
an outcry, but waited for an oppor-
tunity to escape his attentions.
She soon grew Ill and called upon a
woman nearby to help her to the shore.
Shortly after reaching the beach she
fell over in a dead faint. The offensive
bather, who was a large fellow and
wore black bathing suit and straw
hat, made hasty exit from the surf at
that moment.

THE CAST
BY sIDLE LAWRENCE

T HE BELASCO management might
have searched long before finding
Il a play better suited to the abilities
of Ben Graham than In the Bishop
Carriage" Mr.. Graham's local debut
in this piece is most happy. He is cast
as Edward Ramsay, the bibulous Phil
adelphia capitalist, and he realizes the
character finely.
I'm the Bishops Carriage" has been
seen on two other local stages within
the year. 1t would, therefore, seem to
be unnecessary to comment upon the
plays quality. 1t is a melodrama OF
the better class, in which the heroine
is a thief: 1t is a good, dramatic play
and its dialogue is of unusual bril-
liancy.
There are three characters in this
melodrama which stand out from the
others-Nance Olden, Man, the nip
per-" thief by force of circumstances
and environment, who reforms when
the path of reformation is made easy
for her and who in the end cones
into happiness; Tom Dorgan, her
man." who doesn't reform, perhaps
because no one helps him, who goes
to Sing Sing, escapes and is recap
tured; and Edward Ramsay, mil
lionaire rounder, whose good nature
wins forgiveness for his peccadiloes,
and who is never entirely sober from
the beginning to the end of the drama.
Miss Grey's Acting
Miss Jane Grey appears to better
advantage as Nance than in any role
she has assumed since Juanita in 1.-THE
Rose of the Rancho which is rather
curious, as the two parts have abso-
lutely nothing save femininity in COM
mon. Her Nance is a breezy and
somewhat brusque young woman, suf-
ficiently vulgar in the earlier acts to
indicate the character, but sympa-
thetic even then.
Harry Glaciers Tom Dorgan is a
thoroughgoing rascal. dirty within and
without, character excellently con
trived to excite antipathy. Mr.. Gla-
zier, whose villainies are usually ac-
complished with suavity BETTING the
gentleman" criminal, here gets away
from evening clothes and correct man
ners to assume the Sinking demeanor
and habits of thought of the Jail bird.
1t is a repulsive but skillful piece of
acting.
Edward Ramsay is what is known in
stage parlance as a fiat" part. Mr..
Graham, however, plays 1t better than
1t has ever been played here before for
the simple reason that he does aot
make Ramsay a buffoon. His comedy
is of a high order. 1t is not horseplay.
Hobart Bosworth, as the young Grim
inaI lawyer who accomplishes NanCe's
and ultimately wins her
promise to become his wife, played last
night with something too much gravity
for the part. There seemed too little
of human kindliness, too much asceti-
cism in the role as he interpreted it.
William Yerance as the bishop and
Richard Vivian as Obermuller did ac-
ceptably what little they had to do.
l believe that better results would
have been attained had the roles OF
Miss Florence Smythe and Miss Dor
othy Bernard been reversed, though
neither is of much Importance in the
play.

LEWIS STONE MEETS
FIRST AUTO ACCIDENT

Lewis S. Stone, stock star at the
Auditorium, and Harry Spear, stage
manager, had a narrow escape from
serious injury a few minutes after S
O'Clock last night when a swiftly NOV
ing University car struck Mr.. stones
new automobile, damaging the machine
badly. The accident occurred at Thir-
ty-sixth and McClintock streets.
Stone declares that he first saw the
street car when it was about 25O feet
distant. He thought this would give
him ample time to cross the track,
but later found that he had misjudged
the speed at which the car was trav-
cling. His new Duro machine, pur-
chased only a few days ago, was struck
so heavily that it was turned complete
lv around, the rear axle being badly
bent and the body smashed in. Neither
Stone nor Spear was thrown out.

SECRETARY STRAUS
SUSTAINS EXCLUSION
By Associated Press.

by Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Secretary
Straus today approved the action of
the local immigration officials at Bos-
ton in the so-called Mormon cases,
wherein number of immigrants were
held upon the allegation of entering
the country in violation of the law
Secretary Straus said that the two
cases of exclusion out of the number
acted upon were upon the ground, as
to one, of admission of belief in polyg-
amy and as to the other of physical
and other reasons. A number of other
cases have been held up for further in
vestigation. Lively interest has been
taken in these cases on account of the
question of Mormonism, but Secretary
Straus said that the decision in all
of them was wholly regardless of the
question of Mormon religion.
