Accident.
CONNELLSVILLE. Pa., Dec. S.-An-tht-r
nam haa been added to the long
death lint -resulting from the Duquesn
Limited wreck on-the Baltimore A Ohio
railroad at Dawson on Wednesday. Harry I
Devlin, one of the three remaining pallenta
at the Cottage state hospital, died at 10
o'clock today. The total dead now numbers
slxty-Cve and this probably completes the j
list as the two still at the hospital ara doing
well , and will probably recover. Devlin's
boms was at Lenaconlng, Md.
There wss one Christmas funeral, that of
Edison Ooldsmlth. Goldsmith was a popu
lar young man and an Immense concourse
attended the service. The bodies of the
' other- Connellsvllle victims will be held until
Saturday or Sunday before burial. In fact
this la a necessity as the undertakers are
too busy to attempt to conduct several
funerals In a day.
Siieclal services for the dead were held
In all the Protestant churchea of the coka
regions today, . and alter the burial of
Father Flnello which Will take place to
morrow, the Catholic churches will hold
masses for the desd. Um body of Father
Flnello was conveyed to th main body
of the church of the Immaculate Conoep.ljn
this morning, where it will remain In
state until the funeral services on Satur
day., Bodies Betas; Removed.
The bodies of about thirty of the victims
were' gathered up and taken away on early
trains today. The remaining identified will
be Shipped within .the- next twenty-four
hour and the ' "unknown" will be cared
for by the borough council.
President Oeorge a. -Porter has called a
special meeting to take measures .toward
the formation of a relief committee to look
after bodies unidentified1 or unclaimed. In
case no friend appears the citlnens will see
that the vtcUms do not find a last resting
place in too potters! field. The .railroad
company will . contribute, liberally to this
tuna., . U ' . - :
The '.official investigation into the cause
of th disaster la bt-lng prosocutsd -vigor
ously . by the officers .of .th t aliroid o?ra
pany, but it is doubtful if. any individual
will bo blamed. for the accident. -It was
apparent that a number of swltoh ties
which had fallen oft a westbound . freijfht
train and were strewn upon the passenger
track, caused the'fylng exprefcs' to be de

For many moons Auntie Celia Thomas

818 and 820 North Blzteenth street. Many
a cold, dreary, winter have they. - shared
hardship and map a hot, sultry summer
borne vicissitude alike; hav washed, side
by aide, from the same ttrb, used th nam
soap, wringer and board and borrowed pro
visions from each other and a few sticks
of kindling, "''when dey 'wari't" null fo "go

'Aunt Cilia, as he: leaned against ths tall

Baldwin bandaged up a cut four Inches
long, leading back from her temple, , and
which sh said was the result of a blow
delivered by. 'Sister -Sadie, with a four
quart galvanised Iron bucket full of beer.
"Bhe nebbor spilt a drap ob dat beer,"
plaintively moaned Aunt Celia, glancing at
.the telltale bucket, which had been con
fiscated by Officers JOsenne and Shields,
who made th arrest of Sister Sadie.
"I done 'low no black wench to call m

Th battle between th women occurred

One doesn't Tike to think that American
fe In .any of Its phases holds people like
some of those, presented on th stare In
The Spenders," and yet the unpleasant re
flection that they do exist is In a way
forced upon on by th very fact that they
are drawn for public review on the stage.
It is quite within the bounds of possibili
ties that an author could) create such char
acters as fit his purpose; In fact, thfa Is
a most common practice, but aa a rule he
must have or pretend to hav some sort of
beginning for his thought. And Mr. Wil
son ha conceived and Mr. Rose embodied
some of the most unlovable people Imagin
able, so that It Is much more comforting to
think that those who appertain to' the
east are as broadly exaggerated as-Hhom
alleged to represent the west In th other
wise excellent comedy - they havo Jointly
prepared. Pete Bines In 'the hands of
Mr. Crane become a thoroughly enjoyable
person, of much common sense, with a
patriotic love for the'eternal Rockies, and
with other attributes and personal habit
calculated to endear him io the true west
ern heart," but he I Impossible a a type.
And, If this be the Judgment as to the char
acter In the play with which we of th west
are supposed to have persona knowledge,
th exclusion Is both easy and Justified
that He presentation of eastern person
ality is not more accurate. It la not Im
probable that the authors have foisted off
a bit of satire under the guise of realism.
However, If a good story, and ungrateful

In the first act Mr. Crane seems to fairly

enjoyed It and who know the intoxication
that co"mesrfrom the osone of the purest

Is a sharp contrast, that between Peter
Bines and Horace MUbrey in this act 7 ''I
hav been west before," says Mr Milbrey
of Kew York. "In 18T8 I was out as far as

that a man who can make his way in Mon
tana isn t apt to be easily lost on "the

figurative entirely. Miss Lucille Flaven,
as Avlce Milbrey, and Miss Llda McMillan,
aa Mr. Drelmer, carry the bulk of th load
on their aide of the cast. . Mis Flaven
makes; a very attractive , . heroine, and,
while she has no especially difficult pas

excellent acting. Miss McMillan creates
th role of a society matchmaker, and pre
sents us with an entirely pew, but easily

Two very large audiences enjoyed "The

8AM FRANCia'CO, Dec. tt.-Bupertor
teaoii wotk !aitd an abundance oi, tricky
plays, coupled with, more thorough, train
ing, gave the, Carlisle Indian foot ball team
a ' decisive' VlrtoTy over the All-Callfomla
eleven-tfti aftembon In one of the most
spectacular, games sver played on the coast.
Th score was 23 to 0. Ideal weather con
dition prevailed and the field fWaa In
splendid condition .for. speedy playing.
. tjnpiain. Johnson of the ' visiting .eleven
lived up to his reputation as being one of
the greatest quarterbacks and foot' ball
generals in the country, and the star ag
gregation of the coast players were no
match for bis well drilled men. The at
tendance was about 7,000. The partisan
ship was equally divided at the outset, but
at the conclusion of the game the admira
tion for the Redskins grew so Intense that
Captain Johnson was carried aloft, on th
shoulders of the- throng, after '.several
women had become so enthusiastic as to
embrace him.
DuHng the first few minutes of play the
All-Callfornlans ' swept the Indians .before
them, and for a few moments it lqoked as
though the home team would nave a
walkover. But the ball soon moved to th
Callfornlans' territory as soon as the In
dlans resorted to trick plays, after having
found that they could not successfully buck
the line of a team that weighed twenty
pound heavier 'to the roan. .'
Captain Johnson made the first touch
down about the middle of the first half,
but failed to kick a goal. The shiftiness
of the Indians pusxled the California men
greatly and they 'were unable to solve the
generalship of th Redskins' captain'. Be.
tween Johnson and Williams, the 'Carlisle
fullback, the local men were kept gues)ng.
During the second half the Carlisle men
resumed their shifty tactics and made hun
dreds of yards on clever football. . Johnson
took the ball for most of the trick plays
and kicked every goal In th last half. The
California men rallied near th close of
the game and spent their force Jn fierce
bucks against the Carlisle line.
This line of action soon tired the Call
fornlans end they were unable to score
although, within fifteen yards of th arllBle
goal peats. . . i

More than one dime-novel publishing firm
