EXPRESS CRASHES
INTO REAR END OF
BACKING WRECKER
Engineer Jumps a Moment Be-
fore His Cab Is De-
molished.
Especial TO the Newark star.l

SOMERVTLLE, Sept. 5.-The New
York and Easton express train on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, bound
for New York, which was running
twenty minutes behind scheduled time,
collided with the rear end of a wreck
train at this place at 10 a. m. today.
The rear end of the wreck train was
totally demolished. The engine of the
express was badly wrecked. The pas
sengers were thrown about the cars
and badly shaken up, but no oneIwas
seriously injured.
William Morrison, the engineer OF the
express, had a miraculous escape. At
ter applying the air-brakes and revers-
ing his engine he stepped iout on the
running board of the engine n made
his way to the opposite side of the
boiler and jumped just before the col
lision. He sustained slight injuries.
The side of the cab in which Nor
rison had been standing was totally de-
molished and torn away, and but for
jumping he would have met with in
slant death.
The wreck was caused by the work
train backing out from a siding on
the main line In front of the express,
The crew of the wreck train escaped
injury and cleared up the wreck with
he derrick in about an hour.

prices in an open-air theatre is but a
sign of the venturesome progress OF
the present half decade. And in pro-
ducing grand works which would APP
pea to many, hut which have been
available to comparatively few, the
Mes5rs. Aborn are contributing gener-
ousIy to that progress which is truly
e~levating. They have brought the
mountain down to Mahomet, and wen
though a few edges were knocked off
in the descent, the mountain is still a
mountain, and Mahonet is grateful.
It is the first time in this vicinity that
such an ambitious work as Madam
Butterfly has been given hearing under
conditions. such as at Olympic Park,
and the cordial enthusiasm with which
it was received last night and the size
of the attending a~ssemblage, even al
lowing for the holiday, would warrant
the prediction that Newark and the
Oranges would support a season of
such offerings.
Madam Butterfly the most popu-
lar, if not the most m~eritorious, Of
Puccini's operate compositions, holds
its place in the public esteem more for
the deep and instantaneous appeal in
theme, its dramatic development and
the pretty stage pictures than for the
beauty of the music. The appeal to the
heart, which is universal, is greater
to our occidental ears, tuned to
colorful variety, and motifs that are
resolved and not left in a chaos of
jangling sound. There 4 few portions
of the opera that could be adapted for
concert work, and the melodies of h
love duet of the Cho Che San and
Pinkerton IN the first act and the duet
of Che Che San and the faithful
Suzuki are grateful. The motif nf
America, involving bars of THE Star
SpangIed Banner" is delightful.
Miss Abercrombie, who was a sweet
and attractive Cho Che San, will sing
tomorrow and Friday nights and
Saturday and Sunday matinees, and
Nine. Edith Helena will sing tonight,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights
and ! adnesday matinee.

PLAYGROUND MAN
AND POLICEMAN
IN HEATED CLASH

Fight, Prevents Arrest at
East Orange Carnival.

Directing to a man being arrested
for violating the traffic rules at the
: val in East Orange. where the athletic
carnival was in progress yesterday,
william s.. Curren, a member of the
Playground Commission, engaged in Il
spirited argument with Desk Sergeant
Frank Patterson, who was making the
arrest, n before the sergeant learned
the identity of the commissioner heated
words were exchanged between the
two.
Sergeant Patterson was assigned to
prevent persons from crossing the
track. and a youth. whose name was
not ascertained in the brawl that fol-
lowed, refused to stand back. Accord
ing to Patterson the youth threatened
to punch him in the face. Patterson
told the man he was under arrest and
started to walk away with his prisoner
when the commissioner, wearing an
officials badge, ran up and commanded
that the man, who he said he did not
know, be released. Crowds gathered
while the sergeant questioned the con
m~issioner's authority. Your authority
ended When you entered the grounds
and I have authority over you In here
the comi- issioner told the sergeant. 1t
was necessary to call several police
men to push back the crowd of men
and wom,l that gathered.
Learning of the trouble, Chief ONeill
and several officials FASTENED TO the
sceno and ordered his sergeant to rec
lease the youth.

not go to church; the husband who VIII
not buy new clothes; the head of the
house who, much to the disgust OF the
members of tie family, Will persist In
telling jokes when there is company,
including the man who is a -stay-at-

trayal. Others who performed well
were Miss Mai Tayleur, Miss florence
Meek, George Turner, w. P. Mum,

c ri IN TAXI HAS

BEAUTY OF YORE
Newark Theatres Offering Just
as Sprightly as
Before.

TN spite of the sudden rise in popu-
larity of the man in the ~aeroplane,
= the girl who for the second time
has travelled to the Newark Theatre
In the now old-fashioned conveyance.

laughter and applause yesterday after
noon and evening. The vehicle is prac-
tically the same as the one that rolled
into view here last January. but most
of the passengers are newcomers.
THE Girl in the Taxi" written by
Antony Mars, adapted by Stanislaus
STANCE and presented by A. H.. Woods,
Is Of the regulation Trench comedy
type, which in the process of adapta-
ton and Americanization has en-
deavored to become expurgated. How
ever. the American theatre Is still
many miles removed from walking dis
lance of the Palais Royale, and the
humor demanded by the average
American theatre-goer continues to
differ widely from hat which appeals
to his French cousin.
SO many complications are woven
around the time-honored framework of
wives deceived by supposedly model
husbands that the situations developed
are really comical, while that subtler
grace, humor, is added in large cuan-
titles by Bobby Barry's clever inter-
probation of the leading character.
BERTHE Stewart, who at 81, still fi.ds
himself the pampered darling of an
over-solicitous mother and the re-
cipient of the princely allowance of So
per-month, is smitten with love for
all women. and, as his small world of
the opposite sex Is limited to the lady
upstairs, who, as BERTHE avs, bal
ances a piano OH her feet in a show
tand thereby affords more real pleasure
than by playing that instrument), he
proceeds , lay his young affections
and his fathers clothes, in the form of
flowers purchased with the results of
several trips TO the %pawnshop, at the
feet OF his ideal. Rertie's father, John
Stewart, and the latter's nephew, Percy
Peters, who feigns throat trouble as an
excuse for Journeys from Philadelphia
to New York every spring and fail,
also seeks diversion in feminine society
other than hat to be obtained at their
own hesides.

THE Three Of U.s." a Western play.
devoid of the customary gun fighters

ton to a capitalist. Everything ends
well, however, for the girl and her two
brothers.
