Tor what it has done In the past toward

PITTSUUnO. Oct. 1. Two freight trains
collided last night nt Phllson , on the Balti
more & Ohio railroad , 124 miles east of
Plttsburg. making one of the worst wrecks
In the history of the road. One man Is dead ,
two probably fatally Injured and several
others missing. The latter are lying dead
under the wreck almost beyond the shadow
of a doubt.
Details of the wreck nrc meager nnd dlfll-
cult to procure , ns the storm has left tele
graph lines In a bad condition. The grade
at Phllson Is very heavy , the line descend
ing at the rate ot over 100 feet to the mile.
The accident occurred at 10:30 : o'clock last
night. Fast ( rclght cast No. 74 was
scheduled to meet westbound freight No.
95 at Phllson , The latter train reached the
siding and waited on the main track for the
castbound train.
Shortly after starting down the grade the
crew ot No. 74 lost control of the train. In
an Instant It was going nt nn express speed
and tlie crew decided to take chances by
staying aboard rather than Jump. As the
train shot around the curve at Phllson the
eastbound train struck the other train and
every car on tbo , former was thrown to the
common center of the collision and ground
to pieces , The engines were smashed to
atoms.
The other train was also badly damaged
and debris was piled as high as the tele
graph poles. Rescuing crews worked all
night , but abandoned tbo wreck nt day
light. Superintendent Cutter started for
the sccno and wilt personally attend to the
removing of the wreck. The property loss
to the railroad company will reach many
thousand dollars.
The names of the killed and Injured have
not yet been obtained.
Two bodies are reported to have been re
covered so far , and It Is believed n number of
others are still under the wreck. The wires
are still down nt points east of Dowmnn
station , which Is west of the wreck , nnd bu :
meager details o ( the accident can be
obtained.
A special telegram to nn nftcrnoon paper
received ( rom Cumberland stated that the
entire train crew , consisting o ( the engineer ,
flicmnn , conductor , two brakeman nnd n
flagman , nnd two tramps , who were stealing
a ride , were killed. Thirty-four cars loaded
with coal , together with the engine nnd
caboose , were piled upon the trnck nnd traffic
both east nnd west Is entirely suspended.
A later Cumberland dispatch says : Up to
1 o'clock twelve tramps had been taken
( rom the wreck , six of whom were dead.
The remaining number were brought to
this city nnd placed In the hospital nnd
nre lu n serious condition.
One of the tramps stated that In the car
In which ho wns riding there were ten
companions , while nnothcr says that his car
was occupied by eight others.
Trainmen say that a number of men who
had been attending the Bryan speaking and
who were on their way to their homes In
Myersdale , Pa. , were .riding on the bumpers ,
so U Is thought that there are still many
under the wreck.
It Is thought by officials here that some
ot the men riding the bumpers cut oft the
air. thus causing the wreck. Among tbo
trainmen Injured were the ( ollowlng :
Engineer Zane o ( train 74 , perhaps
( atally.
John Cornell , front brakeman , seriously
Injured.
Fireman Owen , seriously Injured.
Fireman Shaw , bruised badly.
Other trainmen were cut and bruised.
The latest ( rom the wreck Is to the effect
that only two tramps , names unknown , are
dead. There are others , however , believed
to be still under the debris. Or the eight
Injured men taken to the hospital at Cum
berland , two are in a serious condition. They
are Thomas Owens , fireman , and W. J. Hane ,
engineer. The report that there were many
Meyersdalo citizens under the wreck has
proved to be untrue. The railroad olllclals
say the reports ot the wreck have been
greatly exaggerated , but there are fifty-two
cars piled fifty feet high , and the track
will be blockaded twenty-four hours longer.

The dead beat list Is steadily growing , as

lins been proven unnecessary ( or the grocers
ot the city to support such n largo number
or families It they will only continue to
work together In harmony. Quito a num
ber ot persons have paid tip their old ac

A ( eaturo ot the meeting was a paper by
George Munro on "How to Make Money
Though In the Grocery Uuslness. " It was
a source of much valuable Information , and
contained many good pointers for the grocers
to follow In conducting their business In n
successful manner.
The subject of peddlers' licenses came up
nnd occupied a considerable portion ot the
tlmo of the meeting. An effort 111 be made
to Induce the city council to pass an or
dinance providing that the peddlers bo re
quired to buy a number , to be placed upon
their wagons. It was pointed out that this
could be arranged for In the same manner
that the city sells dotf lags. Other cities ,
like Chicago , have adopted this plan , and
It has been found to work In a very satis
factory manner. The object In compelling
the peddlers to display a number on their
wagons Is to guard against the deception
so often pracllced upon consumers by ped
dlers who represent themselves as farmers
and thus palm off upon the unsuspecting
purchaser the redi o of the down-town mar
ket In place of fresh country produce.

"Money and Morality" was the subject ot
n lecture delivered at the First Uaptlst
church last night by John H. Webster. The
lecture was one o ( the most Interesting ami
Instructive talks which has been delivered
lu this section during the present "campaign
o ( education. " The speaker Is nn enthusi
astic numismatist and student of history ,
nnd his talk was a logical exposition of the
theory of the- coinage ot metals nnd the les
sons to bo drawn from the experience of
the great nations of the world with debased
coinage. Ho spoke of the character , origin
nnd development ot coinage. Its use and
abuse , nnd Influence on Ibe moral history of
mankind.
At the commencement of his talk Mr.
Webster quoted liberally from the scriptures ,
especially from the Old Testament , refer
ences regarding divers weights nnd divers
measures being nn nbomlnntlnn to the Lord ,
and similar quotations , emphasizing the con
elusion that all measures , whether ot weight ,
length or value , must be uniform.
After denning the terms value , etc. , the
speaker asserted that all money , to he a
measure of value , must have vnltie of Itself ,
lie then look up the lessens of history to
show that the reigns of tyrants were marked
by the arbitrary fixing of n false value on
coin. The French revolution , he said. WHS
an outgrowth of an uprising of the people
against fiat money. There was no record In
history , ho continued , where a civilized
IK-oplo had asked that mcney be coined at
moro than Us market value , except tn Homo
under Ccasar and In Franco under Bona
parte , and In both cases the end had been
disastrous.
In all referencns to historical events Mr.
Webster read copious extracls from various
authors. In some cases reading several au-
Ihors upon ono poinl , lo prove that be was
hlslorlcally ccrrecl In his statements.
GOVKKNMENT STAMP AND VALUE.
Taking up theott repeated statement thai
the stamp of the government fixes Ihe value
of a coin. Mr. Webster pulled out a small
ack In which were dollars of almost every
nation on earth. These nil bore Ihe stamp
of the government which Isned It , and all
purported , on their faces , to be dollars , but
Mr. Webster stated Hint they varied In value
from 40 cents to $1.
Pulling from his pocket a coin and boldIng -
Ing It up in full view of the audience Mr.
Webslor conllnued , "I have here a coin
which bears on Us face these words , 'United
Stales of America ; In God We Trusl ;
Ten D. ' On Ihe olher side Is Ihe usual stamp
of a $10 gold coin issued by this government.
This coin is ot crpper. Would any one here
take this coin in exchange for a $10 gold
piece ? " There were no lakers ot Hits offer ,
although several free sliver advocates were
present.
Continuing. Mr. Webster discussed the his-
lory of the Homan empire relating lo coin
age , showing the expedients ndoptod by the
various emperors la Increase their revenues
by decreasing the- value of the coins Issued
by them. SlartiiiK with the denarius , at
first made wholly of sliver , and ending with
a coin of the eame name , but composed en
tirely of copper , plated with tin , to give It
the appearance or silver , the first coin being
Intrinsically worth fifty times as much as the
lasl. Several writers were quoted to prove
that tlio debasing of Ihe coinage was one of
the main factors which contributed to the
( all of Ihe great Romas empire.
DEBASED COINAGE IN SWEDEN.
The history of the coinage In Spain and
Franco were referred to briefly and then the
speaker passed to the discussion ot the
coinage of copper In Sweden under Charles
XII. Picking up a _ piece or copper twelve
Inches equare aud 'abc-ut n quarter of nn
inch In thickness , Mr. Webster explained
that this was a $ t piece In circulation in
Sweden before the king , Charles XII. , Im
ported a new minister of fir a nee , Von Gorsl.
Thla worthy at once proceeded to enrich the
king by minting a copper coin about the
size of the silver quarters now In circulation
In the UnltetJ States , and stamping this coin
$1 , In the language of the country. The
result was to drive all the silver out of cir
culation at once and the price of nil products
rrse In proportion to the decrease In the In
trinsic value of the money , in spite of a royal
decree forbidding it. The government wns
afterward compelled to reduce the face value
of thcso coins to one-half cent , their real
value , and Mr. Webster commented very
sarcastically upon the fnrco o ( such pro
ceedings on Ihe parl of n government , ns
showing the result of pulling Inlo pracllce
the theory that the stamp of the government
makes value.
Taking up English history , Mr. Webster
spoke of several English sovereigns who de
based the cola of the realm In order to en
rich themselves. The most Interesting portion
tion of this section of the lecture wus that
referring to the txpeilcnco of James II. .
who. after he had exhausted every oilier
resource , scoured Iho Junk shops , the forts
and every other place for brass , which was
made Into coins about the size of an Ameil-
can silver dollar and stamped "one-half
crown. " These were forced on the people ,
but In a short tlmo the king wanted more
money and ho ordered all brass half-crowns
returned to him. When this was done ,
these same pieces were run through the
stamp preas and marked with a stamp which
Indicated that thpy were then worth one
erown. Every man who had brought two
hiilf-crowns to the king was given one of the
now crown pieces in exchange and the king
kept the other one. M. Webster exhibited
one of each of these pieces of brass money ,
saylnR that the crown piece- plainly showed
that It bad been treated In this manner.
This money had afterward l > oeii cancelled ,
after Inconceivable suffering on the- part of
the common people.
For lack of time the speaker said ho
would not keep his audience any longer , al
though ho caU ho had Innumerable Illustra
tions drawn ( rom authenlic hlsiory , show
ing tlie same results.
In closing , Mr , Webster briefly appealed
The man who can't look yon In the
\ eye Is not always a had man perhaps
his eye Isn't fiood-lie's to hhime for It
to a certain extent It's true for If ho
i only could lie brought to understand

Mr. nnd Mrs. Tabor opened their annual
gigdnpnt Inst night at Doyd's , supported
j by nn ml m i MM e company , anil piosentlng
KIwyn A. Barren's "Uomnla , " adapted from
the fnnions novel of th.it name.
| Mr. Uurrcn Is widely known as UUP of the
bpst equipped dramatic critics whom this
i country has produced. Latterly lie lias re
sided nbrond , whence IIP lias contributed
delightful letters to the columns of the
Chicago Tlmrs-Hfrnlil. Jn setting bis band
to George Kllot's great work , nnd attempt-
Ins to innko of the vlcli inntrrlal so
prodigally provided , n play which , whllo pro-
" "ii'VltiR the mark ot thp master hnnd. should
yet bo structurally strong nnd Interesting
enough to give It permanency , ho undertook
n task which might -.veil have appalled him.
Hut bo has done his work with remarkable
success , nnd has given to tbo stage n drama
which Itt likely to adorn It for some 1 1 un
to como. "Homoln" was warmly received
last night. Curtain calls were frequent. nnd
applause was bestowed Judiciously and often.
The "rough places" In the piece , spoken of
by the critics In the two or three1 cities In
which It has been presented , were not ap
parent here. Perhaps the speech ot llomoln
In denunciation of her husband after tbo
bniKiuet Is a thoughl too Imp and too little
relieved by netlnn on the pnrt of Tito ; nnd
the movement of events In tbo last act
seems hurried nnd lucking In tbo dignity
which Is characteristic of the earlier scenes
and of the epilogue. Hut Mr. Tabor Is too
thorough nnd too conscientious n singe man
ager to nllow "rough places" to remain long
unsmoothcd.
The story of the play Is substantially that
of the book , the sequence of action being
somewhat nltcred to meet the exigencies of
stage performance , Hvcryone Is fnmlllnr
with tbo chnractor ot Tito nnd with Its
counterparts In real life. It Is the picture
of n being without a soul , either to love or
to keep fnlth , or to arm him ngnlnst craven
fear. Tbo piny opens a fortnight after the
scene In the book , where Tito , ragged ,
forlorn and newly arrived , Is found by the
Iron-monger on that day ot the year when
Columbus sailed , In which Lorenzo do' Mcd-
Icl lay dead In Florence. The adventurer
Is discovered prosperous , well dressed , bask-
Inir In material plenty like the beautiful
animal be Is , nnd feeling not n pang of remorse -
morse for his vile cnstlng off ofrhls foster
fnthcr , whose gems he has stolen nnd whose
body he has suffered to bo sold Into slavery.
With this foulness In his heart , bo wins and
innrrles the whlte-souled Homoln , who wor
ships him , or what he seems to bo , as n
god. Little by little the Infection taints
Ills whole being ; mesh by mesh he Is en
tangled In n net of malefaetlon , whcnco
there Is no escape save by the commission
of fresh enormities ; and day by day the
truth dawns upon his trusting wife. Suspi
cion Ural begins to darken her mind at the
banquet , upon which the wronged Baldus-
sarre intrudes with his terrible tale of be
trayal. During the test of the ring Homola's
eyes are fixed upon the shifting features of
her husband. For the first time she doubts
him. Ono hand Instinctively grasps for pro
tection the bund of her kind old godfather ;
the other clings for nn Instant to that of
Tito , then' ' leaves It never to clasp It ngaln.
Then conies the actual awakening , the de
stroying certainty that her Idol is of clay.
Her husband Is not of the same order of
beings as she. He is about to wound her
feelings and to do n base action , nnd ho has
no sharp In her sentiments of loyalty nnd
affection for a father's memory. There Is
no soul in him and ho cowers and insults
her nnd slinks away. The calamity marches
swiftly. Tito commits yet deeper iniquities
nnd escapes the punishment of the law only
to meet n horrible vengeance nt the hands
of the man whom most of all others he has
Injured.
There are beautiful passages In the play ,
and solemn and powerful climaxes. The
character ot Baldassarro , as drawn by
George Eliot , ndnpted by Mr. IJarron , and
portrayed on the stage by Mr. Alison , is marvelously -
velously line nnd convincing. Two of the
strongest scenes Include this man , whose
bitter wrongs have unhinged n brilliant
mind and driven thence nil passions but
revenge. One is the meeting of betrayer
and betrayed in Tessa's cottage ; the other
is the appearance of llnldaesarre between
the opened gates of the Hiirdl garden , stand
ing stately In his rags and madness. The
ncttml killing , realistic enough to be sure ,
somehow wants dignity , us has been said
before. Other striking pictures are the early
love passages of Honinla and Tito , the de
nunciation in the garden , the pretty plead
ing of Tessa for a ring , and the evasion of
the mob by the hunted Tito. But nothing
In the play compares with the grandeur of
the epilogue , which showa the broken
hearted widow , clad not in mourning black ,
but in spotless white , extending her hand
to her liumbje sister In sorrow , the whllo
the bells toll for the passing of Savonarola's
mighty soul.
Neither Mr. Tabor nor Mrs. Taber ever
had parts which fitted the requirements of
their arts moro nicely than those afforded
them by Mr. Barren's play. Mrs. Taber Is
radiantly lovuly in the title role. She wcarn
the golden hair which George Eliot de
scribes , with the little rlpple > in It ; nnd the
garb ot the period' suits her winsome figure
as her genius adapts Itself to the sweet
and womanly character sbo portrays. She
has the same low voice , the same speaking
eyes , the same charm of manner , ns ahvnyu ;
nnd with these an added maturity of style
and a moro certain grasp of the
subject In hand than ever before.
Mi' . Taber has surely never done anything
so good as Ills Tito. Admirable as ho Is
In tlic Juvenile roles with which bis name
has been chlclly associated , he Is first of all
a character actor ; and the scheming Greek
with the beautiful face , who posed to
Coslmo as "Sliion deceiving old I'rlum , "
comes near to filling the measure of his
powers. This shallow nnd despicable nature ,
not criminal at first , but drifting into crime
on the current ot sensuous ease. Is Indicated
liy Mr. Taber In a manner worthy of the
highest praise. The company is strong In
numbers and In merit. The flno perform
ance of Mr. Anson has already been hinted
at. Miss Parks was entirely acceptable as
the poor , childish little contndlnn , Tito's
iseiido wife.
The scenic Investiture Is unusually elaborate -
orate and rich , even in this day of sumptu
ous spectacles. A calcium light , however ,
Is Imperatively needed for the obtaining of
certain effects of Illumination otherwise im
possible of accomplishment :

The theatrical event of the year Is sched
uled tor next Monday nlnlit , when Mr.
Richard Mansfield nnd his New York Garlck

engagement nl the Crolghton theater.
Ituiulil Indeed bo something akin to thn
Impossible for us oven lo- try to tell our cul
tured theatergoers much thai Is now about
this most distinguished of nil American
nctors , although a repetition might not prove
uninteresting. It was not so many years ago
that Mr. Mansfield first came to this city
with hl ndinltnble company of artists , and
with such excellcnl rnnilpmenl for correct
productions c-f the Btrrllng plays that com
posed his repertoire. It Is granted that the
sorvlre of true art Is nhva > s progressive , and
It ono may form an opinion from nil that
has been said concerning this present tonr
ot Mr. Mansfield nnd his great eflinpnny , the
forthcoming offerings go to prove that nt
the present time Mr. Mansfield Is far In
advance of the time which marked his first
visit here , In the mnttcr ot magnificent nnd
gorgeous production.
The new works which Mr. Mansfield will
give , will show Hint these great advances
have been made. Wo nro told , nnd them Is
no question ns to the truth of the Btnte-
menl , Hint both his grand Shakespearean
plnys "King Hichnrd 111. " and the "Mer
chant of Venice" will lie found the most
magnificent nnd splendid productions that
even this master c ( stage nnd scenic Illustra
tion has ever produced.
It Is to tlieso things In no small measure
that Is due the keen Interest that , has been
shown on nil sides ever since the announce
ment was made thai Mr. Hlchard Mansfield
nnd his company were to present n Reason
of dramatic festival here.
In arranging his repertoire of plays , Mr.
Mansfield has assigned for his opening per
formance , Shakespeare's grand comedy , "Tho
Merchant of Venice , " which will bo repented
at the Saturday matinee. The "Scarlel Let-
ler" will be offered on Tuesday evening , and
nt the Wednesday matinee nnd on Friday
evening "Beau Hrummel" will be presented.
"A Parisian Homnnee" will be the bill for
Wodncr..lay evening , while Shakespeare' *
grand Iragedy , "King Hichnrd 111. . " the
same grnnd production ns presented by him
at the Glebe theater , London , In ISS'J. ' will
be seen , here- for the first tlmo. Mr. Mana-
field's engagement will close on Saturday
evening , at which lime "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" will bo presented.
The demand for sllllngs for the nbove
various performances bnvo been so grout
that It hns been decided that numbers will
bo Issued from tin- box olllco of the theater
this evening , which will entitle holders to
the choice of llckels corresponding lo their
