SHE IS GAMES YET.
ilinnie Hauk Sings With Great Effect
in Bizet's Masterniecc.
G1UXD OPERA IN GOOD STYLE.
The Power of the Press Stronger in Scenery
Than Anything Else.
ALL THE PLATS CRITICALLY EXAMINED
The audience was distinctly fashiona
ble and, being so, unusually enthusiastic
that fairly filled the cheery Duquesne Thea
ter last evening to hear the opening per
formance of the Minnie Hauk Grand Opera
Company. It was a pity that the threaten
ing weather kept at home quite a number
of persons who had bought their seats
and helped to make up the extraordinary
Monday night sale reported at the boi
office. It may be well to mention here,
since the customary hour for ringing up the
Duquesne curtain is 8:15, that the lengthy
grand opera performances begin promptly
at S o'clock. Kot a few were misled into
tardiness last night.
Mrs. Hauk reappeared before a Pittsburg
audience in the same role she assumed upon
her last appearance here. That was early
in ISSfi, when "Carmen" was given by
Colonel Mapleson's troupe at Library Hall,
with Hauk, Del Puente, Eavelli and Dotti
in the cast, Ardita at the Etand and Caval
azzi on the light fantastic toe. Pittsburg
has been exceptionally fortunate in hearing
Georges Bizet's stirring opera. "We had it
in Italian, with Marie TJoze, during
its first season in America; '79 or
0, was it not" Then Selina Dolaro
and "William Carlcton wore heard
in an English production. Minnie Hauk
and the other just named cauie next, and
Jmve been followed by several performances
in English by the Boston Ideal', with Zelie
de Lussan end by Emma Juch aud her
troupe.

fcy this time So ought everyone, indeed,
fr it has constantly and increasingly held
the boards ihrouihout the muiicalHorld
since toon after its first production at the
Paris Opera Ooinhjue March 3, lS7o. H
tUe way, the title role was created on that
occasion by Galli-Marie; the Toreador by
Bouhy. at night's house bills were,
thereibie. not strictly correct in underlin
ing these roles as the "original character"
of Mrs. Hauk and Mr. Del Puente, respec
tively In effect, however, this claim on
the prima donna"s part is justified by the
fact that it was her first performance of
armrn at Brussells, and soon afterward at
l.ondon, which went far toward assuring the
great success of an opera that Paris had not
at all raved over.
To anyone present to enjoy, rather than
to carp and cavil, last night's performance
may be set down as highly enjoyable. Jus
tice to Mr Bizet and his famous librettists
Veilhacand Halcvy,howevcr, makes it nec--ary

this production, asfouiparrd with what they
intended it should In-. tU course, the or

INEVITABLE SHOIITCOMINGS.
But all the-e shortcomings are to a large
ih-grec inevitable in travelins troupes.
"We are used to overlooking such matters,
if only the principal roles are in themselves
adequately presented and are not altogether
too much " interfered with by ensemble de
ficiencies. Of Minnie Hauk's impersonation of the
capricious, impulsive and impudent gipsy
girl not much need be said.
Her name is now permanently identified
with the character; her conception of it has
fixed its standard interpretation. In no
ssential particular did she deviate from
her former performance, unless it be that
he seemed to tone down a trifle the more
unpleasant element the indications of
willful, cold-blooded badness, of malicious
treachery that some of us have
necr thought to be truly char
acteristic of this fickle, passionate,
fatalistic child of nature. There is still
less difference to be noted in Mrs. Hauk's
ringing. Her voice has lost none of its
lascious richness or of if velvety smooth
ness "or has,it apparently diminished in
olumc or compass As she lias not yet
reached her IKrth birthday, there is no
reason why this rarely-gifted American
artistp should not fully" hold her own for
many years to come.
A DECIDED SUCCESS.
Mr. Montariol, the new tenor, scored a
decided success in the trying role of Bon
Jose His voice is not one of a particularly
pleasing qualitv, but in forte passaec it is
clear-and resonant to a degree barring his
upper A, which was husky. Naturally his
unging was more effectiv- in the impas
sioned passages than in those of tenderness
or pathos. The hapless fate of Don Jose gave
him ample opportunity for displaying his
best points and he fairly electrified the
audicne; at the climactic moment.
Mr. Del Puente's assumption of the reck
less, insouciant Toreador is well known for
its finish aud fidelity. He was in fine fet
tle last evening, and sang and acted up to
his own high standard. Mrs. Louise
Xatali, as Micltaela, repeated her former
successes in this city. Her artistic singing
of the lovely ana in the thtrd act riehly
earned the encore it received. Messrs!.
Delaco, Pcakes an'd Kudolfi, Miss Itisly
and Miss Holmes did excellent service in
their less important roles. Altogether the
warm applause of the audience, plentifully
tipnnkled through the evening and includ
ing three hearty curtain calls, was amply
justified.
This evening the bill comprises the first
aetof "Traviata," followed by that most
phenomenal of modern operatic successes
IVtro Ma-cagni's one-act opera, "Caval
leria Itusticaua," with the following cast:
s-.-ntavT, Mrs. Basta-Tavary; Lo'a, Miss
Helen Dudley Campbell; Lucia, Miss Ber
nice Holmes Turiddu, Mr. Henri Bovet;
Mfie, Mr. Del Puente. Jt has been decided
to exchange Thursday evening's bill, as an
noauced, with that of Saturday evening, so
that "Faust" will be given on Thursday
and "Troratore" on Saturday evening.
C. "W. S.
THE COUNTY FAIB.
AUail Proe and the Ileal Horse Race at
the Altin.
"The County Fair" is not new in Pitts
Imrjr, and its merits were discussed in
these columns last season. Last night it
aunuvpil a large audience at the Alvin
Theater. The play brines out the refresh
ing flavor of New England farm life to the
full, and its humor, its very small modicum
of pathos, and lmot all the characters are
strictly racy of "down East." Fortunately
moreover the scenery is of a sort to helpthe
illusion of locality, for the landscape, the
climpses of the farmyard and the interior
of the farm house, are trutlifullv and artis
tically reproduced by Mr. Young, the
Y
painter. It is a plaV that depends very
much upon its realism, and although far
from an accurate transcript of If ew Eng
land life, or of any life, it is not wanting in
human interest. The main character,
Abigail True, is the creation to alarge ex
tent of that strange man If eil Burgess, but
it has many of the generic femininities in
it, and they are mostly amusing. Marie
Bates plays the prim old maid with much
cleverness, and the company is strong enough
for the work elsewhere. The audience fol
lowed the simple story with laughter and
applause, and the wonderful realism of the
horse-race as usual brought down the house.
By the way, is it not somewhat of a fraud
upon the public to put Neil Burgess name
on the programme and bills, just above the
play's title? Mr. Burgess made the play a
success doubtless, and perhaps has a finan
cial interest in it always, but as he is not
the author, nof the manager, nor an actor in
the cast, the posting of his name in such
prominence savors of swindling.
NEW PLAYS-AND OLD.
Tho Power of the Press Beautifully Staged
at the Bijon Lilliputians at the
Grand The County ralr All the Amuse
ments. At the Bijon Theater last night "The
Pov er of the Press," a drama by Augustus
Pitou and George H. Jcssop, was played
for the first time in Pittsburg. It had been
heralded as an original play, dealing with
New York life, and an improvement upon
the common run of melodramas. It is not
new in anything but some unimportant
twists of the plot, and most of the charac
ters are old acquaintances and are over
colored, and while it is better
than a great many of the cheap
melodramas, nobody could hail "The Power
of the Press" as an important addition to
the native drama. Perhaps the trumpeting
of the heralds betrayed us into expecting
too much oi Messrs. Pitou ana Jessop s
production, but the disappointment is none
the less positive when wc are forced to con
sider it as a melodrama of respectable in
tentions and antique form. It is painful to
think what a very turgid and tasteless mess
the play would be had it not re
ceived a setting of uniiual beauty
and realistic power. The scenery is far
beyond the ordinary. In this respect, "The
Power of the Press' is a true reflection of
many interesting bits of New York. The
massive doorway of the Manhattan Athletic
Club house is one scene; another is a ship
yard, with the frame of a vessel on the
stocks, another a very well painted view of
the shipping and wharf at Old Slip, and the
irot striking of all, the bark Mary Vale at
anchor off the Battery, shotting the shin
risins giganti from the water, and with
such realistic detail in ri?gin, etc., as to
make the picture most effective These sets
are all of remarkable solidity, yet the waits
between the acts were not unduly long.
Almost every scene in the play, and there
are onlv 13, is in itself worth looking at.
So, pictorially, "The Powerorthe Press" is
as strong as it can be.
"Now, the story of the play is the old one
of the weak but well-intentioned man who
falls a victim to drink, bad companions, and
other evil influences. Steven Carson is a
character that has extorted sympathy, not
always righteously, from" the jjods
in a few score plavs that might
be named. He begins by being
flabby and tiresomely vicious and after
a thoroughly deserved seclusion in Sing
Sing, comes out purified and strengthened
in character. He is guiltless of the par
ticular crime laid to his door, and when he
comes out of jail, after a fruitless endeavor
to obtain work, he takes a prima donna's
advice and invokes the aid of a newspaper
in the hunting down of his persecutor, the
villain of the piece The newspaper does
not figure in the phvy, except by telephone
when the hero calls tin the editorial
rooms of the Standard and talks to
tne editor in a way tnat would be
pure to spoil a "scoop" and the
drama is happily unblemished by a comic
reporter. The name of tho play might just
as well have been "The Power of the Scene
Painter," or "The Power of an Old Plot."
Beyond a few platitudes from the prima
donua a happily chosen mouthpiece, for
who could more sincerely acknowledge the
press' power? the newspaper interest is
represented by a well-nigh surperfluous
newsboy, who is, as usual in melodrama, a
girl ou crutches. "Well, to return to
the stor3 after getting the
newspaper to take up his cause, Steve
Canon goes ahead and runs the villtin
down aboard the Mary Vale, bound for Bio
Janeiro. The police seize the villain, and
the play ends in orthodox reunion and
more or less sermonizing on the evil of im
bibing rum and the high vocation and
power of the press. Thi6 is the main story.
Tacked to it is the prima donna and her
husband; the latter goes to Sing Sing, and
upon his release reforms after a week's
stand of sin. Then there are the "Usual low
comedy lovers, the dude who is a foil
to the manly workingman, and a slightly
original swell who handles his fives
with science and opportunely floors the vil
lain when he insults the heroine. This
athletic dandy's appearance in the play is
apparently to'give point to the introduction
of the exterior of a New York club as one
of the scenes. He is not guilty of aisisting
the action of the play.
Yet when all is said the fact remains that
the play has an interesting story, if it is
poorly told and crudely drawn as regards
character, and with its wonderfully good
scenic setting will please a great many no
doubt. If it were as well acted as it is
mounted the play would be very
much more effective. Miss Ida "Water
man as Annie Carson threw a great deal of
true pathos into all her work, and at such
points as the parting from her husband in
the jail, in the appeal to the union work
men to eive the ex-convict a chance to wok,
brought tears to many eves. Nearly every
one else was stagey to a degree; and .Tames
E. "Wilson a the hero and Charles Mnson
as the villain never let go traditional
methods in melodrama, and as a matter
of course were unnatural. They,and others
still more, suffered of course f'romthe author's
choice of stage types rather than human
beings as the character models. Here and
there was a burst of nature; once from a
red-headed and cheerful Irish woman Miss
Millie Saekett but the greater part of the
play walked on stilts and burlesqued life.
The play was applauded generously by a
big audience; curtain calls were numerous,
and almost every piece of scenery drew
plaudits on its own account.
A VOYAGE TO LILLIPUT.
The Royal Midgets Make 11 Via the Grand
Opera Jlouse.
"Guliiver Among the Lilliputians" was
given last night at the Grand Opera House
to a fair Monday evening audience. The
programme tells us that "Gulliver" is a
musical extravaganza, written by Messrs.
Bankin and Gordon, who also perpetrated
"Abraham Lincoln" on an unprotected
public earlier in the season, and that it
is founded on Swift's "Gulliver's Travels."
It sounds as if Bankin had told his recol
lections of Swift's book to Gordon, who
forgot them and then wrote up what he
forgot. The play is just as bad as it can be,
and without even the saving grace of an
absurdity to brighten it up. Bung for
which a small boy would be whipped occur
with fearsome frequency.
Everyone knows nil about "Gulliver's
Travels." Gulliver was a bis; man, ship
wrecked among a tribe of little people
called Lilliputians. The Boval Troupe of
midgets gathered from all over the
land represent the dwellers in
Lilliput, An operatic singer, Harry
De Lorme, with not a bad voice,
took the part of Gvtliver, and took it seri
ously, more's the pity. As Harry De
Lorme is at least C feet tall, the comparison
of giant and dwarf is nicely accentuated.
The little people are really a bright lot of
specialty performers. Of course, they don't
act; they are like many full-sized
actors in this. But some of them
dance well, some of them sing well,
and the remainder are curious looking and
worm staring ar. xwo oi tne periormers
do some really clever work. One is a small
boy. onlv7 years of asc. who, inaccordance
I with the peculiar ctbiw which govern
farce comedy, shows-up in Lilliput in the
garb of art American policeman. His
Dutchness and his clog dancing arc very en
joyable, and much of his work has the
freshness of spontaneity. The other is
in the character of a policeman also, and is
a dwarf 22 years old. These two players
save the show, for otherwise the mere
curiosity evoked by the midgets would be
worn ofT before the curtain goes down on the
first act The stage setting does not seem
to carry out the idea of Lilliputianism, for,
though Oidliver laments oneratically that
the trees are not up to his shoulder, he
afterward sits on a lounge that Iooks home
like enough to be found in any parlor in
Pittsburg.
Other Amusements.
"Peck's Bad Bot" is still able to amuso
large audiences at Harris' Theater.
Austin's Australian Novelties were
shown to a big andienco with satisfactory
results at Harry Williams' last night.
"Ukcle Tom's Cabin" seema to have lost
nono of its attractivencss.for it drew crowds
to the World's Museum yesterday. The play
is well done by the C. G. Phillips company,
little Daisy Sloshler playing Eva with great
clovernes for a child. In tho Curio Hall
Signor Dodrctti resists four men successful
ly with his jaw; Texas Bill plays the piano
well, and, among other things, ".La Belle Min
nie's trained dog is interesting.
At Harry Davis' Fifth Avenuo Museum
the lady rowers proved a strong attraotfon
yesterday. They made good time in their
rowing machines, as shown by the electric
dials, and there are not many oarsmen In
Pittsburs now who could approach them.
The ladies issue a challenge to any amateurs
to try conclusions with them. Tho stago
show in the theatorium is stronger than at
any time this season. Illndle, llefron, the
one-legged dancer, and Miller, Mack and
Hines are all clever performers. In spite of
the rain the place was crowded all last
evenimj.
THE MOHICAN IN PEEIL.
Another United States Warship Narrowly
Escapes a Wreck.
SAK FrtAXCISCO, Oct. 26. The Mohican,
which arrived from Bering Sea yesterday,
had a narrow escape from destruction when
three days out from Ounalaska, the outboard
delivery valve chamber being cracked
nearly through. The crack occurred ou a
big pipe which furnished cold water for the
condensers. The vessel was put under sail,
and after 12 days' work a new valve was
substituted.
The oflicers say that had there been a
break instead of a bad crack, the vessel
would probably have gone to the bottom.
As it was, in spite of their efforts the
cracked valve leaked several thousand gal
lons before the aperture could be temporar
ily closed. It was very difficult to get at
the valve to repair it. The Mohican's boil
ers are in very bad condition, and it is be
lieved she will go out of commission shortly.
GEAIN GOING TO ETIN.
Kansas Tanners Literally Swamped With,
Wealth Going to Waste.
Atchison, Kan., Oct. 26. E. G. Arms
by, cashier of the Kansas Trust and Bank
ing Company, who returned from the "West
ern part of the State last evening, said:
"TJn threshed wheat in that section is dam
aged from 25 to 50 per cent on account of
wet weather and poor shocking. The grain
has already commenced to growand many
of the stacks are green. A good deal of
new wheat still remains in the shock. This
is ruined.
"Farmers are busily engaged in threshing
the crops, but will not get through before
the first of the year. The acreage of wheat
put in this fall will not be as large as last
fall. This will be a good thing for the
farmers, as they will be better able to care
for the crop."

1'ffectg of Smokeless Powder.
Judging by the observations of an En

military maneuvers, the use of smoke
less powder is likely to have a peculiar
effect on the morale of soldiers in battle.
He says that again and again he found him
self in a position where he could hear vol
ley after volley, field guns, too, sometimes
being fired, so far as tound could indicate,
within 800 yards, and yet after gazing in
tently for mi nutts he tried in vain to dis
cover the whereabouts of the fixers. One
moment the sound would seem to be quite
close, but a puff of wind would cause it to
appear to come from miles oil". If the men
who fire are at all hidden, and are station
ary, it would seem almost impossible to dis
cover them at, say, 800 yards.

Off THE STILL HUNT.
The Prohibitionists Conducting a
Quiet, but Active Campaign.
OBJECT TO TAB NEW BALLOT LAW.
Kepnblican Managers ITolil a Conference
TVith Ward Workers.
TIIE MOXTOOTn CLUB EOOMS OPENED
Mr. Andrew Bryce suggested yesterday
that the Prohibition party might some day
demand as much recognition as any of the
others at present. He said they were not
working like Democrats and Bepnblicans
Jwho were after the bird in the hand. Pro
hibitionists, however, he said were ticketed
to win eventually, and were at work just as
hard as though they expected to make their
calling and election this fall.
A call was made at the headquarters of
the Third party in the Moorhead building,
on Second avenue and Boss street, where
President Cole, ot the Eiecutive Commit
tee, Jlessrs. Williams and Martin and other
gentlemen, were found busily at work mail
ing tickets and campaign literature. The
room looked much like political headquar
ters generally, except that there was the ab
sense of the political rooster, which of itself
would indicate that the Prohibition ticket
is not likely to win this fall, for whereso
ever the carcass is, there will the eagles be
gathered, but none the less all were hard at
work, and if voters do not vote the cold
water ticket they cannot claim that they
could not get the "tickets.
DISFBANCHISED BY THE LAW.
President Cole said the main trouble his
party labored under was its disfranchise
ment by the leaders of the old parties. "In
order to have representation," he continued,
"we must amount to 3 per cent of the politi
cal strength of the State, or else appeal to
the Legislature 5,000 strong within" 49 days
of an election under the workings of the in
famous Baker ballot bill." He held that
the provision is unconstitutional, and the
people would soon see that it was nullified
if they were awake, as a party has a right to
representation regardless of its numerical
strength. Mr. Cole further stated that it
was to the interest of tho liquor power to
have but two parties, for so long as such is
the case it has little trouble to
make itself the balance of power,
and it will ordinarily tip the
scale in favor of the party that will obey its
behest. Mr. Cole regards it as necessary to
get the best elements of each of the old par
ties under its hammer. It will be accom
plished, said he, or the country will be
ruined either the rum power or the Gov
ernment will go down in the struggle.
ALEUT IN M'KEESrOKT.
Mr. Williams, of McKeesport, ceased
work long enough to say there was more
solid temperance work" being done in that
city this year than ever before. People
are subscribing money, not spasmodically,
but with intent to keep the fire going, and
intend to stay with the party until it se
cures victory.
Mr. Martin said there was a prohibition
club in every district, and the leaven was
working. No matter what the Prohibition
ists expect to win this heat, they work with
as much vim as the other parties and with
out the accompanying stimulants, but this
is, perhaps, not strange, as they eschew
stimulants, anyhow. Thry are not taking
anv organized part in the judiciary fight.
The same report in effect came from all
the other political headquarters, Bepubli
can, Democratic and Straightout Republi
can. Mr. K'rker said the Eleventh ward
meeting would be well worth attending, as
Generals Hastings and Kiles and Congress
man Culbertson, the latter of Lewistown,
would make speeches. At Democratic head
quarters, Mr. Kiley reported an influx of
country visitors. Secretary Dunn, of the
Straigbtouts, said the only 'fight they had on
was the regular one, and not an internecine
one. He "also called on some, of his conferees
on the subject, and they agreed with him.
Messrs. William Walls and Porter ad
dressed a meeting at Clinton on Saturday
nicht. Hitherto there has been but little
political illumination out that way this
season.
HUSTLING "WILL HOW BEGIN.
Republican Lenders in Consultation With
the TFara Worker,.
Real active political work among the Re
publicans of the city began yesterday after
noon with a meeting in Chief Brown's
office in City Hall, at which were present
besides Chief Brown, who played host to
the visitors, Chairman John Gripp, Secre
tary George Miller, and Treasurer S. P.
Conners, of the County Committee; Sena
tor William Flinn, Chief Elliot, Chief
Bigelow, W. A. Magee, and others of equal
prominence in local politics.
After the adjournment of Councils, vari
ous members of that body and the tried and
true Bcpublicans from every ward in the
city filed into Ch'ef Brown's office, which
was crowded from 4 o'clock until aiter G.
Every man who came in seemed to know
exactly where to go, and after going inside
the Chief's office would remain a few mo
ments in some cases, or a half hour in
others, and then withdraw, leaving the hall
at once.
The character of the business transacted
was indicated by Chief Brown. He said:
"We begin to-morrow the active work
always necessary within a few days of an
election. The County Committee has called
in the men upon whom we can rely to work
for the straignt ticket, indorsed by the Re
publicans and Democrats of the county and
for Gregg and Morrison. The committee
has subdivided the city into districts, some
including a whole ward and others only an
election district, in which three good, re
liable men are made a sort of executive or
vigilance committee to get out the voters.
see that their ballots are cast and counted
and look after our candidates on election
day. Every ward in the city has been
represented here to-day and the reports the
representatives bring in show our organi
zation to be in excellent condition. We
will have reports from the balance of the
county in a day or two, and from what we
have heard have no doubt of a substantial
victory for the whole ticket on November 3.

with speeches, music and a feast. The club
is of recent organization, too recent for its
delegates to get a vote at the Scranton con
vention, but it has a membership of more
than 100 representative men of the Fifth
ward, and is growing rapidly. The club
rooms occupy the second floor of the build
ing, are neatly furnished and handsomely
decorated. Over the mantel in tho assem
bly parlor hangs a life-size portrait of the
gallant soldier whom the club has honored
by giving it his name, and on the walls in
conspicuous places are portraits of other
distinguished Republicans.
Major Montooth delivered the initial
address at the opening exercises last night,
ana took occasion to make it a first-class
campaign speech for the party ticket. He
was followed by District Attorney Bur
leigh, S. U. Trent, Esq., County Chairman
Gripp, Morris W.Mead and Coroner Mc
Doweil, each making speeches appropriate
to the time and occasion.
The Symphony Orchestra, Leon J. Long
and Daniel Gallagher enlivened the occa
sion by interspersing the speeches with
music, songs and recitations, and the affair
wound up with a fine collation.
Colored Voters Indorse tho Ticket.
A largely attended meeting of the Union
Republican Club of Allegheny county was
held at their rooms, corner of Grant and
Diamond streets, last night. The club is
composed entirely of colored voters. Lem
uel Googins presided. District Attorney
Clarence Burleigh addressed the meeting.
Ho spoke at length on the State ticket. He
then referred to the county ticket, and told
how the regular County Committee stood in
the fight.. "Mr. Burleigh received a very
cordial reception. A resolution was passed
indorsing Gregg and Morrison and the reg
ular county ticket. After the meeting re
freshments were served, and a most enjoya
ble evening was spent.
INTOXICATED ON GASOLINE.
The Odd Practice of a Little Six-Year-Old
Maryland Hoy.
Baltimore, Oct. 2G. Sptriaf. Willie
Grant Webb, the G-year-old son of Mrs.
Johanna Webb, at Hampden, is ad
dicted to a very singular and dan
gerous habit which is puzzling the
physicians. For some time past the
boy's mother has detected a strong odor of
gasoline oil about her son, aud was at a loss
to know the cause. Yesterday she found
him Iving unconscious on the floor and a
can of gasoline oil by his side. She called
in a doctor, who succeeded in bringing the
boy back to consciousness.
Upon investigating the case, Dr. Mitchell
discovered that the boy had a morbid desire
to inhale etherized gasoline oil. How the
child ever acquired the habit is a mystery.
In order to inhale the ether he removes the
stopper from the can and inserts his nose in
the hole, remaining in this position until
he becomes intoxicated. It is the first case
of the kind known to physicians here.

HOW THE EUSIIIXG JOURNEY WAS MADE
rSriCIAL TELEGRAM TO 'LIIE DISPATCH. 1
BurFALO, Oct. 20. The Empire State
express of the New York Central and Hud
son River Railroad, on its first trip to-day,
demonstrated its right to be called the
fastest train in the world, by traversing the
440 miles between New York and Buffalo
in 8 hours 41 minutes, aud achieved, be
sides, at one stage of the journey, a speed
never before attained by so heavy a train.
The attempt to run a regular passenger
train between the two cities named in 8
hours and 40 minutes is a result of the fa
mous experimental trip of September 14,
when the unparalleled record of 440 miles in
433 minutes and 44.eeconds was made. The
new train was announced almost immedi
ately after that performance. It was ex
tensively advertised, and more than a hun
dred persons bought tickets this morning for
its first trip. The train was composed of
a combination buffet, smoking and library
car, the Wagner buffet drawing room car
Luxor, two Now York Central coaches, and
Vice President H. Walter Webb's private
ear Mariquita, which carried officials of the
road and reporters. The same engines drew
it that pulled the flyer of September 14.
STAP.T OF THE SPEEDT MOXSTEK.
It was a minute and a quarter past 9
o'clock, the hour of starting, when Engineer
Archie Buchanan set the big 64-foot
drivers of ponderous engine 870 agoing for
the tunnel, the Spuyten Duyvel curves,
and the other difficult places that make up
the 15 miles from New York to Yonkers.
Twenty-five minutes had been allowed in
the schedule. Engineer Buchanan passed
Yonkers 2 minutes and 12 seconds ahead of
time, speeding along toward Albany at a
gait of 43 miles an hour.
Except for little spurts that resulted ina
rate of a mile a minute or thereabouts, in
the neighborhood of Tarrytown and again
near Poughkeepsie, where a man with a
camera took a snap shot at the flyer, the
scheduled rate of speed was kept up all the
way to Albany. The train pulled in the
station there nftcr a 143-mile run, at
11:42:45, 2 minutes ahead of time. En
gine 870 was uncoupled and engine 876, the
exact counterpart of the other except for
her 5-foot 10-inch driver!, backed down and
hooked on for the run to Syracuse, 148
miles away.
TIME DROPPED BY THE WAY.
The start from Albany was at UnjO, ten
seconds behind time. At Utica it was five
minutes late, and 28 seconds were snatched
of the two minutes stop there, and lost
again with other prejeious seconds before the
train had gone half a dozen miles. Crowds
thronged the street crossings to-day in all
the towns between Albany and Syra
cuse through which the Empire
State express took its way.
Probably not less than 5,000 Syracusans
turned out to witness the flight of the fastest
train in the world. The train was due at
Syracuse at 2:45. It was eight minutes and
45 seconds late. A few miles back it had
been 16 minutes late, so the people in Vice
President Webb's car grew a little more
hopeful. Besides, was not Engineer Charles
Hogan, of many famous runs, sure to make
up the lost time with fast No. 882.
"Hogan's feelings were probably not
cheerful when the train was turned over to
him,nearly nine minutes late, to be landed
on time in Buffalo, 149 miles away, when
the regular schedule called for something
like a mile a minute. It was Hogan whose
unlucky engine came near spoiling the fast
run of September 14 with a hot box.
HOGAN PICKS UP LOST SECONDS.
Whatever his feelings were, Hogan took
hold in earnest, grabbed two minutes off the
stopping time at Syracuse, and started out
six minutes and 45 seconds late, at 2:50; 45.
The total weight of the train was 278 tons.
That was 47 tons more than the intended
weight on ordinary occasions.
When on an especially good stretch ot
track, engine 802 did miles in Si, 58 and oi
seconds, and when the conditions weren't so
favorable she did miles in 80 seconds, or
some other absurd figure. Then she lost
two minutes at Rochester taking water. So
from being 6 minutes and 45 seconds late
at the start, 862's speed rose and
fell until she was nearly 13 minutes
late at Batavia. Buffalo was 30 miles away.
Everybody gave it up, but west of Batavia
the track is remarkably straight and a little
down grade. It was remarked at Crittenden
that Hogan was picking up a few seconds.
Then came a mile in 55 seconds. That was
05 milesanhour. Otherswift miles followed,
54 seconds, 53, 52, 51, seventy miles an
hour.
Timekeeper Sinclair started up with the
announcement that no such achievement
in speed had ever been made, considering
the weight moved. The watchers cheered.
Then the switch lamps began to multiply in
the gathering darkness. The train was
spinning along through a mass of tracks.
LESS THAN TWO MINUTES LATE.
A minute more and Engineer Hogan had
pulled up in tho station at Buffalo, at 5:43
o'clock, three minutes after the schedule
time, but the train had started a minute and
a quarter late, and he thought a minute and
three quarters out of the way in a run of
440 miles onght not to count. His passen
gers agreed with him.
Among the officials of the New York
Central who accompanied Vice President
Webb on the journey were: General Super
intendent Theodore Voorhees, General Pas
senger Agent George H. Daniels, Superin
tendent of Motive Power William
Buchanan, designer of engine 870, and
General Baggage Agnt F. J. Wolf, J. O.
Yaeger, of the Wagner Palace Car Com
pany; Theodore Butterfield, General Pas
senger Agent of the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg Railroad, and H. C. Duval, Dr.
Chauncey M. Depew'a private secretary,
were also of the party.
Oscar "WItrte's Head.
A year or ttvo ago Mr. Henry nealh took
diagrams of the heads of many prominent
people. Among other diagrams he took
was one of Oscar Wilde's head and one of
the head of his late majesty King Cetewayo,
.the Kaffir monarch. The diagrams were
almost exactly alike and very nearly circu
lar in form.
