BROKEN RAIL WRECKS TRAIN.
Thirty-four Persons on tho Toxns
Central Hurt, Fivo Seriously.
Dallas, Tex. Jan. 2. The northbound
exprcs-a on tho Houston and Texn3 Cen
tral was wrecked late last night on a
trestle approach to a bridge crossing
the cast fork of Trinity river, thirty
two miles north of Dallas. Thirty
four passengers and trainmen were In
jured, some of them mortally. Tho
train, with the exception of the engine,
was totolly demolished. All the ears,
Including mnll, baggage and express,
went over the trestle, a distance of fif
teen feet, Into a ravine, nnd wero shat
tered. Part of tho wreck was destroy
ed by fire.
The property loss to the railroad com
pany Is estimated to exceed $100,000.
The rescue of the passengers from
death was almost miraculous.
SAND AND GREASE.
What They Are Used for on Railroad
Tracks and How Employed.
From the New York Sun.
Every locomotive on surface steam
railroads curries a sand box contain
ing sand to bo run on tho track when
the rails arn slippery and the driving
wheels don't hold. The rails may be
come slippery from a variety of caus
es. A pouring lain washes them clean
and does not make them slippery, but
a drizzling rain or a fog docs. The
rails are slippery when there is dew
on them, or frost; drivers may slip on
autumn leaves lying on the track, and
In some regions they ure occasionally
encountered on the track Insects In
such numbers ns to make the rails slip
pery. Drivers may slip in stnrtlng a
heavy train or on grades.
Thus sand may be needed under vari
ous conditions and circumstances and
the need may arise at any moment. It
Is an essential part of an engineer's
duties to see that his sand box is full
on starting out, no matter what the
weather or the prospects may be. All
the locomotives on the elevated rail
road In this city carry sand boxes also.
There are some Incidental causes of
slippery Hacks that ure not found here,
but the atmospheric and other condi
tions are substantially the same, and
sand Is as necessary In operation ns
on surface road'. One might have
travelled for years on the elevated
roads and yet never have noticed the
sand boxes on tho engines. On locomo
tives on surface roads tho sand box is
placed on to:i ot the boiler, with the
pipe running down in front of the driv
ers; on the locomotives on the elevated
road the sand boxes are attached to the
under side of the running board and
with the pipe running down to the
track between the drivers, for the rea
son that the engines on tho elevated
arc run alternately forward and back
ward. Largo, heavy, modern street cars op
erated by power, ns by cable or under
ground trolley In this city, carrv a
sand box under the plutform, wUh a
plpo lending from it down to the track
in front of the wheels. The sand box Is
opened and sand permitted to run by
means of a plunger set In the platform
of tln car, which Is operated by pres
sure from the foot of the grlpman or
inotormnn. The separate sand boxes
thus carried are to provide sand for
use In emergency, and under settled
weather conditions producing slippery
tracks u sand car Is run over tho lines.
On surface steam railroads oil Is used
to lubricate s Itch points so that they
will work freely. Oil Is used likewise
on switch points on tho elevated road,
and on the elevated grease Is used on
the sharp curves around the corners of
city blocks. On the concave side of
the Inner rnll on these curves, at but a
little dlstonco from It, nnd curving
parallel with it, is laid an additional
steel rail called n check rail. . This Is
put down for safety's sake nnd It nlso
takes the greater part of the grinding
weur of tho flanges of tho wheels In
rounding the curve. It is the check
rail that Is greaFcd. The greasing re
duces the liability of the wheels to
mount the rail, causes less wear, and
nvolds the screeching nolso likely to
accompany tho grinding of tho wheels
against the rails In rounding curves.
On surface railroads In the city nil
Is used on switch point?, nnd grense on
very short curves. On a curve with the
Inner rail hollowed for tho wheel to
run in, the outer rail being Hat, tho
grease would bo applied to the hollow
rail and to thnt side of R that was
toward the other rail, that being the
side against which tho wheel would
naturally bear. Tho purpose is to re
duce the wear, to facilitate the move
ment of the car around the curve, and
to avoid tho croaking that would other
wise bo produced.

IN THE PLAY HOUSES.
" Vagnbondia" nt tho Lyooum.
Mr. and Mrs. P.US3 Whytal produced
their new drama, "Vagabondla," at
tho Lyceum yesterday afternoon and
evening. They have -n uccn here
before In "For Fair Virginia" and
won mnny admirers by their work.
They will not IncreaBu their fame great
ly, by their now venture. Neither ot
them are hnpplly cast, but of tho two
Mrs. Whytal appears to the best ad
vantage. Tho drama Is of tho romantic school
that has been so popular during recent
years. In the last act Is a duet scene
that has been transferred almost bod
ily from "Hcnrtsease."Tlio principals
have the assistance of a, fairly good
company.
Waito's Stock Company.
At the Academy of Music, yesterday
afternoon the Walto Stock company
opened a week's engagement. It Is
a much stronger organization than
the ono seen hero earlier In tho sea
son. MIas Annie Louise Ames Is still
the leading woman, but sho has n
supporting company that Is worthy of
her.
In "London ..y Night," which was
produced last night, sho did some
splendid work In the rolo of Ruth
Klrby. J. II. Holllngshcad, the lead
ing man of the company, gave tho
star excellent support. The other mem
bers of the company sustained the
parts anoted to them with credit.
Specialties were Introduced by Jen
nie nnd Mamie Elmore, Harry Field
ing and Miss Pauline. In tho after
noon tho company produced a farco,
"The Two Kids." This nfternoon "The
Lady of Lyons" will bo seen nnd to
night a Jolly comedy, "An American
In Ireland" will hold the boards.
Majestic Burlosquers.
At the Gaiety yesterday the Majestic
Burlesquors entertained crowded houses.
They presented a good, clean, sparkling
bill. The show was appropriately
opened bv Ed. Russell nnd Edna. T1I
lyno with eccentric dances and acro
batic work. The Sisters Carmontolle,
In "Fun with the Mississippi Girl,"
were extremely mlrth-provoklng. On
of the Qulgley brothers is a good Irish
man and the other a remarkable
dancer. Grace Vaughn Is beautiful In
voice nnd person. Blckel and Watson,
the Dutch comedians, are so funny nnd
so "Dutchy" that they almost carry you
down In Bucks county.
Newell nnd Shevett, on the horizontal
bars, are almost mystifying In their
difficult and astonishing feats. Thev
are well worth going to see. Tho popu
lar song illustrator, Georgo S. Botttf, Is
a sweet tenor singer and has a very
novel nnd attractive part. "A Street
Fair," a burlctta, winds up the fun.
"The Highwayman" Tonight.
Tho Broadway theater opera com
pany, headed by Miss Camllle D'Ar
ville, extensively praised as one of the
most effective lyric organizations heard
for years, will present for the first time
here at the Lyceum tonight De Koven
and Smith's latest and most succesnful
comic opera, "Tho Highwayman." The
scenes nnd story of this opera are said
to be most picturesque. There are
three acts In whlcn the scenic artist
has lavishly painted the courtyard of
on nnclent English Inn, a lonely spot
on the York road by moonlight and
the lawn of an old English manor.
The story Is both romantic nnd comic
nnd with that virtue of being devoid
of horse play or vulgarity, the plot
hinges upon the efforts of three dlller
ent lovers to further their affaires d'
nmour by appearing at the same spot
and at the same time on the site of a
post road dlfgulsed as the dreaded
highwayman. There ensues a multi
plication ot mistaken Identities and a
most nmuslng compel. iton between the
militia and the constabulary to cap
ture the real culprit. The music is of
old English flavor, and Is said to be
In De Doven's best vein and delightful
ly melodious. The management prom
ises to produce the full equipment of
costumes and scenery that won the
opera such unstinted praise at the
Broadway theater In New York. The
cawt Includes such sterling artists as
Camllle D'Arville, Reginald Roberts,
Nellie Bragglnn, Georgo O'Donncll.
William C. Corliss, John Mayon and
Philip Tommez. The chorus Is unus
ually large and well trained.
Rood Tomorrow Night.
Roland Reed, in "The Wrong Mr.
Wright," who win Do at tho Lyceum
tomorrow night, has struck n most
congenial role and tho best play he
has had in several years. The theme
is one of several mistaken identities.
Mr. Reed Is u wealthy San Franciscan,
whose confidential clerk nbseonds with
$.10,000. After offering a reward of
$5,000 for the fugitive, Seymour Sites
(Mr. Reed), concludes It cheaper to
play detective himself nnd save the
$5,000. Ho visits Old Point omfort ns
Mr. Wright, and there finds his wealthy
niece, who is also Incognito, her mnld
masquerading as the mistress, in or
der to ward off heiress hunters. To
make things even more Interesting,
beautiful Isadore Rush, as a brand now
woman detective, on the trail of tho
forger, ctrlkos "Mr. Wright" and is
certain 'she has her man.' His actions
nre suspicious enough, for he falls In
lovo with tho fair detective, and un
der the lnnuence or Cupid he becomes
a spendthrift, whereas before he was
ml-erly. Of course everything turns
nu; nil ngnt, but Tor three nets he Is
topsy-turvy.

GREELEY JPLAYED CHECKERS.

"My father had a curious experi
ence with Horace Greeley years ago,"
said Mr. Albert Caldwell, of St. Louis,
who Is spending a few weckB In New
Orleans, "and tho story has never been
told in print. It was in the lively times
Just preceding the Greely-Grnnt cam
paign. My father was then living at
Utlcn N. Y.. and became Interested in
some political scheme I don't know
what about which it was considered
very Important to obtain Mr. Greeley's
advice. After much consultation ho
was sent as a committee of one to
New York city to personally interview
the great editor. When he arrived he
found It almost Imposslblo to secure
an audience. Greeley wus besieged
by an army of all kinds of people,
big party leaders from here, there
and everywhere were constantly flock
lug In to hold conferences. The man
agement of the Tribune wus still on
his Bhoulders on top of everything
else, and ho found It necessary to bar
the way to his (dike by a corns of sec
retaries and underlings. My father
tried vainly for several days to run
this gauntlet nnd at Inst succeeded In
making nu appointment. He wns

WM. II. PECK, Secretary.
and strongly Impressed upon him the
necessity of stating his ense briefly and
plainly. He also hinted that Greeley's
temper was none of the best, and
urged him to consume ns little time
n possible. With these Injunctions In
his ear he wns admitted to the inner
sanctum, where he discovered the ed
itor seated alone at a large desk. For
some moments Greeley paid no atten
tion to him, but seemed lost In thought.
Ho then turned abruptly. "Aren't you
amemberof the Checker club of Utlcn?"
he asked. My father was greatly
startled by tho Irrelevancy ot the
question. "H-m-m!" said Greeley.
"Do you play a pretty good game'.'"
"Fair," said my father, still more
astonished. At thnt Greeley opened a
drawer, took out a checker set, and
Invited my father to bo seated. "I'll
try you a game now," he said. They
plnyed for about two hours, while the
crowd chafed and clamored outside.
According to my father's account they
tied, and he won the rubber. During
the games Greeley never said a word
about politics, and my father was
so Interested, nnd I dare say, so ex
cited by the novelty of the situation,
that he clear forgot his errand until
he was on the train coming home. He
never saw Greeley again. A few
months later the editor was dead."
