 Not to be outdone by the legitimate theatres the vaudeville managers, far

 In a recent interview MT.

THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

l That there will be another large au- dience in attendance this evening al l the final performance of the engage ment of Edward Vroom. in his new comedy drama, "The Luck of Mac Gregor," is assured by the cordial re- ception which was accorded the play and company yesterday. The attrac- 1 tion is a very pleasing one, and will no doubt meet with the success it rich 1 ly deserves.
 One Of the present seasons dra- matic events of more than usual in- terest will be found in the production Monday, with a special bargain mat inee, of "Blennerhassett,' a dramatic version by H. Grattan Donnelly of the famous novel of the same name. With such characters as Aaron Burr, Alex ander Hamilton. and Harman Blenner- hassett, and with such an abundance of dramatic material as furnished by the stirring scenes in which they bore a part, there could have been given no more fascinating theme for the pen Of the playwright. From the beginning of the play to it's startling finish, Mir. Donnelly has taken the striking events of Burr's life for his story. The quar- rel with his bitterest foe, Hamilton; the duel, the subsequent dream of em- pire beyond the Mississippi; the TO- mantle and thrilling events on Blen- nerhassett Island, and the episodes at tending the famous trial at Richmond combine to make a play that will prove one of the dramatic sensations of the period. The managers have se- lected a cast of the strongest calibre, and have invested the play with elab- crate scenery and costuming effects.

PRE-ELECTION PROMISES

(SO. NOrWalK Senr1nel.)
 The most sinister feature of the Hill- Brandegee senatorial contest is the claim that various ~members-e of the state legislature made prediction pledges to support Senator Brande- gees candidacy. Any legislator who carries to fulfillment such a promise against the wishes of his constituency is a traitor to the latter and a fiaring disgrace to the district which elected him. By all of the morals of citizen ship and the holding of office, it is in- cumbent upon 8 member of the 1egis- lative body to execute the expression of those whom he represents, and cer- tainly by no means can it be construed to be his right to make a secret prom ise which later is absolutely repudiat- ed by his constituents. Thus any member of the incoming legislature who disregards this point makes a thrust at the whole scheme of Ameri- can form of government, and but in- vites wrath upon his own. head.

ALTON ACQUIRES
TWO RAILROADS
MINNEAPOLIS 4 ST. LOUIS AND
IOWA CENTRAL.
President of the Purchased Roads
Succeeded by Former Clover
Leaf Head.
'HAwLEY NOW ON THE BOARDS

Chicago. H., Sept. 29.-Several
appointments which were made pub
lie today disclose the fact that the
Glover Leaf-Alton combination has
purchased the Minneapolis and ST.
Louis and the Iowa Central roads.
1t is understood that the deal where
by the Alton is to be extended from
local to a through trunk line
reaching tidewater, is only partially
completed. By November /, 1t is
confidently stated. that the same com
bination will have secured the Ches-
apeake and Ohio and the Chicago,
Cincinnati and Louisville roads, max
ing a combination with a mileage OF
nearly 5000 miles. The acquisition
of the two roads was disclosed by
the election of T. p. Shonts to be
president in place of Edwin S. Haw-
ley, who controlled these roads. Mr..
Hawley was made chairman OF the
boards, and the following changes
were made: F. II. Davis, vice presi-
dent and treasurer; George II. Ross,
vice president In charge of opera
ton; Walter l.. Ross, vice president
in charge OF traffic: A. c. Down,
secretary; w. w. Cole. assistant
treasurer: II. r. Benson, comptroller.
Close Traffic Agreement.
The extension OF the Alton into a
trunk line has been further promoted
by a close traffic agreement be-
tween that line and the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient road, which Ar
thur Il. Stilwell is building from
Kansas City TO Topolobampa, on the
western coast of Old Mexico. The
new vice presidents of the two roads
who have been elected, effective oc-
tober 2, are also vice presidents OF
the Alton-Clover Leaf roads which
leaves no doubt that the manage
ment IL TO be joint one. The Iowa
Central road has a mileage OF about
55S miles. and an earning capacity
Of about $4,000 900 The Minneap-
oils aud st. Louis has a mileage OF
about us miles and an earning ca
pacity of about $4,000. 900. The
Chesapeake and Ohio )has a mile
age OF 1882 miles and an earning
capacity OF $4,000. 900. The Chi
cago. Cincinnati and Louisville ex-
tends from Cincinnati to Chicago
with a mileage OF 2S2 miles. 1t
Is Low in the hands OF a receiver.
The acquisition of the Iowa Cen
trail and the Minneapolis and st.
Louis roads let's the Alton into st.
Paul, Des Moines and Sioux City,
and takes it northwest to lie Beau,
S. d. The Iowa Central joins the
Alton at Peoria. Should the combi-
nation, therefore. buy the line from
Chicago to Cincinnati. Il would have
a trunk line from the Twin Cities
and from Kansas City to tidewater
at Newport News and Old Point
Comfort. IL was announced some
time ago that Edwin s. Hawley had
purchased the Chesapeake and Ohio,
but with what end in view it was
not disclosed.
