The Spooners did a tremendous busi ness at tho Academy yesterday and better pleased audiences never gath red within the walls of that popular playhouse. "Trilby" was produced In a superb manner In the afternoon and "The Old Lime Kiln" at night, and tho hundreds turned away attest to the great popularity of the company In this city. Owing to the enormous demand for seats, Managers Long nnd Spooner have decided to repeat "The Old Lime Klin" for the Saturday matinee. This afternoon "That Glil from Texas" will bo repeated and this evening that weird drama, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" will be produced, o MURPHY IN "KERRY GOW." Tho over popular Joseph Murphy Is ns entertaining ns ever. Like Jefferson In "Hip Van 'Winkle," theater goer. never tiro of Murphy In his "Kerry Gow" nnd "Shaun Ithue." Several times he essayed a new play, but his admirers wouldn't have It. He re turned to his old loves nnd the wonted crowded houses again greeted him. "Kerry Gow" wns the bill he pre sented yesterday afternoon and last night at tho Lyceum, to two of the biggest houses of the season. Of "Kerry Gow" and Murphy nothing need bo said. Suffice It to mention that the presentation Is on the old time elaborate scale with some now and highly pleasing features ndded. Tonight he will be "Slmun Rhue," In which character you may l!k him best.

One of the moflt successful and alto gether plcflfllns "oliln folke's con certes" ever plven In this city was con ducted last evpnltiK In the I'enn Ave nue llaptlst church under the auspices of the choir. The church auditorium was crowded with spectators, who were almost cruel In their Insistence on encores. The choir members were wonderfully garbed In quaint costumes of by-Rono yenrs and sanff exceptionally well. In addition to the members of tho choir, Miss Imogen? Chandler, the cele brated elocutionist nnd reader from Philadelphia, gave a number of selec tions. Mies Chandler Is a very talented woman nnd her repertoire Includes pieces both grave and gny. Among tho selections she rendered last evening were tho following: "When Mellnily Sings," "The Boy Orator of Cepeta City," "Progressive Arithmetic," "Tho Village Dressmaker" nnd "Money Musk."

The coming spring election Is not likely to make any very radical chnnges on the board of school control, although the terms of the following expire: A. L. Francois, Second ward; Benjamin J. Williams, Fourth ward: John M. Casey, Sixth ward; Charles Zeldler, Eighth woid; Jacob Schaffer, Tenth ward; Anthony Walsh, Twelfth ward; T, J. Jennings, Fourteenth ward; O. II. Schrlefer, Sixteenth .ward; P. J, Langan, Eighteenth ward; John Gib bons, Twentieth ward. Of this number It would seem from present Indications that T. J. Jennings', O. R. Schrlefer, P. .1. Langan and John Gibbons can read their title clear to another term. Many changes may oc cur between now and tho spring elec tion which may materially change tho nspeet of nffalrs, but from the indica tions un to date these four will have little, If any, opposition. It Is said that Messrs. Schrlefer and Langan will havo no opposition either in their own party or from the opposition. All of the other members whose terms expire will also seek a re-election, with the possible exceptions of Charles Zeld ler and John M. Casey. They have not positively declined to be candidates, but It Is understood that they are willing to retire If good, substantial citizens of tho wards they now represent can be Induced to accept nominations at the hands of the Democratic party. The Republicans of the Eighth ward have already nominated C. C. Forber, who will undoubtedly be the next school controller from that ward. Mr. Zeldler Is probably shrewd enough to dlseern the handwriting on the wnll. If he should deckle to seek the Demo cratic nomination he will be opposed by Dr. John O'Malley and John Col lins. In the Sixth ward Thomas Mur phy has announced himself ns a candi date for the Democratic nomination, whether Mr. Casey Is or Is not In the field. Jacob Schaffer will havo opposition in and out of his own party In the Tenth ward, and In the Twelfth ward Anthony Walsh will be opposed for tho Democratic nomination by Miles Swee ney. WASHINGTON.

Mrs. Roe wns iden tified by Mrs. Cummlngs, ot this city, who Knew her before she was mar ried, Mr. Roe Is severely Injured but will recover. The terrible ordeal of tho husband Is beyond thought. He and his wlfa were sitting together on tho right hand side of the car, he next the window. When the collision occurred he was driven up and forward, his wife went down. Heavy timbers pinioned him almost directly nbove her. Afraid to see his wife crushed nnd dead his eyes refused to look. He was held in that agonizing position for nearly half an hour, to him an eternity of physical and mental anguish. It was not till he was taken to the hospital that he learned tho worst. Walter J. Wellbrock was identified by many letters found In his pockets bearing that name. Most of them aro addressed to 123 East Seneca street, Ithaca, N. Y. Others to 409 Hunter street, same city. The former was probably his business address as near ly all the letters ot that address were from New York firms. His father Is a wealthy inv York brewer. He Is splendidly proportioned and was over six feet In height. He ap pears a fine athlete. His muscles wero well developed and the doctors said ho was In tho pink ot condition. Two doctors who saw him said they sel dom ever saw a better developed man. He appears about 27 years of age. Evidently he was a Cornell freshman, for he wore a Cornell university pin marked "1902." Ills name was finely engraved on the back. Ho was reading "Barriers Burned Away." From a mark In the book he hnd read about thirty pages. His clothes were those of a well dressed young man of means. While not loud they were of the best quality and fit ted him well. The same worthiness was found in his underwear.

Miss Kane's brother and sister, nnd Miss Doyle's sister nre with them at tho general hospital. William O. Burrltt. of Rosevllle, N. J., the conductor of No, 9G, was Injured Internally In the wreck, but he did not become aware of tho fact In tho ex citement. Ho was slightly stunned at first but recovered Immediately nnd assisted wherever he could lend a hand. He remained around until nfter 1 o'clock, when he suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground without n word. The men with whom he hnd been con versing wore so astonished that they looked around for tho cause, thinking nt first that he had been struck. He was taken to tho Barclay street depot and conveyed from there In the ambu lance to St. Joseph's hospital, where the physicians pronounced him Inter nnlly hurt. His condition" tonight wn not of tho best, but It Is thought that he will pull through all right. Burrltt has been a conductor on tho road since 1839 and this Is the first ac cident he has ever been connected with. Thought He Had a Clear Track. No one will attempt to offer any rea sonable explanntlon as to how the acci dent occurred, except Engineer Rlor dan, of the accommodation, took it for granted that ho had n clear track with out going to the trouble of looking ahead. He himself snvs ho did not know the express stopped at Paterson at all. The rules of the road require that every train shall approach a station under full control. General Superintendent E. G. Russell, of the Lackawanna road, In discussing the wreck, said: "Train 96 ran into train No. G. Both were eastbound, the former being the Phllllpsburg accommodation and the latter the Buffalo express. The trains wero together nt Dover, where train 96 picked up the llagman of No. 6, the flagman having been sent bnck to pro tect his train. Train 96 overtook No. C nt Lincoln Park nnd the (Ingman of No. C got on his own train. No. 96 wa3 fully cognizant of how close No. C was to It. Notwithstanding this, the en gineer of 96 proceeded at a careless speed and ran Into the rear of No. C, which was doing station duty nt the Paterson depot. Tho llagman of No. 6 had got off his train and had only walked a car length when ho noticed the accommodation train approach. The crash then occurred." Clerk Chapman's Statement. Chief Clerk Chapman, at the Dela ware, Lackawanna nnd Western offices In Hoboken, gave out the following statement: "Our reports show that the Chicago, Buffalo and New York express train No. 0 approached the Paterson station at 7.45 o'clock. It consisted of nine cars, tw passenger coaches on the rear end. It stopped a little to the west of tho station, because the west bound passenger train No. 7 was al ready In the stntlon. "Tho rules of the company require that on tho double track system, while a train Is already at the station, all approaching trains shall stop well out side of the station. AVhlle No. 6 was standing there In fact, It had barely stopped local No. 9G ran Into tho rear end of No. 0. The rear coach tele scoped over In front of It. So far as we nre able to learn, there were eight or ten pas?ersers In the rear coach and nbout forty In the other. "William Snedaker, flagman of No. C, reports that he dropped off the train while It was still In motion and ran back with his lnntern. He says No. G had not stopped for more 'than forty five seconds when No. 96 ran Into It. According to the rules Snedaker should, have gone back half a mile, but ho did not have time. It ls evident En gineer Rlordan's train, 'No. 96, was at fault for tho collision. He disobeyed tho signals and disobeyed tho rule3 of the company in not having his train under control while nppronchlng tho station. The rules are very explicit on that point." A Horrible Scenp. A horrible scene was witnessed by the hundreds who lined the hillock on tho west side of the track watching tha work of the rescuers. Two students, struggling to extricate themselves from the debris that pinned them down.were surrounded by the dead bodies of three women, whose limp forms lay beneath a pile ot wreckage, near the car. Occasionally the suffering men would utter piercing cries, calling to the men who were making attempts to reseue them, that their legs were being brok en. The agonized expressions on their faces was an Incentive to the rescurs to double their efforts to afford relief to the sufferers, nnd trainmen nnd fire men fought with desperation to reduce the mass of wreckage that held tho men down. The Immense bonfire that had been built at the side of the tracks brightly Illuminated the side of the car and tho spectators viewed with horror the work of rescue. The faces of the dead wo men could be plainly seen by tho ViyBtnnders and the rescuers, who were armed with axes, chopped with might and main on the woodwork on tho out side of the coach in the endeavor to extricate the bodies. Work of Firemen. On the Inside ot the car n force ot firemen, under the direction of Chief Gllmore, worked heroically In raising the wreckasre that held the two men nnd three dead bodies. It was fully forty-five minutes before tho rescuers succeeded In reaching the spot where the two suffering men were fastened.

Prompt delivery. their perilous position, a subdued cheer went up from the spectators. Shortly after the men, whoso nnmes wero afterwards found to be Charles Piatt and C. C. Remsen, Cornell stu dents, were rescued, the rescuers reached the dead bodies of the women nnd passed them out of the car windows. As the llrmi and lifeless forms were being handed from the rescuers In the coach to those on the outside, mnny turned away from the appalling spec tacle. During all the time consumed In tha work of rescue the mangled faces of the women were plainly visible from the outside. The ladles were lylnc on top of each other. From the mass of wreckage, beneath tho bodies of tho women alluded to, protruded tho arms of a man In one of whose hands was clasped a book As the rescuers worked away, chop ping on tho outside of the car, the book fell from the hand and dropped to tho side of the tracks. Its title was "Barriers- Burned Awny." Its reader had been Walter J. Wellbrook, the Cornell utudent, whose life was crushed out by his being Jnmmed between two of the overturned scats of the coach. On the east side of the track another hnrrowlng spectacle presented Itself. Jammed between a heater nnd the side of the coach was the bodv of a man. His face was pressed against a win dow and the heavy Iron heater, around which were piles ot wreckage, held him securely In that position. Tho man's tongue protruded from his mouth, nnd blood which had flowed from the wounds on his face, stained tho outside of the coach. The man's face was completely dlscoloied, nnd mnny were under the Impression that he wns a negro. However, he wns Inter Identified ns Alexander Craig, ot the Scranton Tribune. Blaze Nnrrowly Averted. The incineration ot everybody In the cars was narrowly averted, nnd but for the act of ono of the trainmen the wreck would have caught fire nnl mnny other lives would have been lost. During the llrst stages of the work of rescue nn oil lamp dropped from the hands of one of the trnlnmen, and the wreckage quickly became ignited. The flame was smothered by the train hand and the lamp wns thrown from one of the windows, nnd upon falling to the ground It exploded. If the flame had not been checked as promptly ns It was, the two tele scoped cars would nave been uurneu before the dead bodies could be extri cated, and tho Injured men would havs been burned nllve before tho rescuers could have reached them. The wrecking crew of the railroad arrived on the scene at 9.45 o'clock and Immediately began clearing away the wreckage. By this time all the i'nr killed and wounded had been removed from the wreckage nnd all that was left for them to do was to clear away tho debris. The broken cars were split up nnd removed. This took several hours of hard work nnd It wns not un til 2 o'clock this morning thut the tracks were cleared and tho blocked trains allowed to proceed. The broken cars were taken down the road to a siding where they will remain until they can be taken to the wrecking shops. Word of the accident was received nt St. Joseph's hospital a few moments nfter tho crash occurred nnd one of the first to leave the Institution was Rev, Father Julln, the resident priest at the hospital. Father Julln devoted his time upon nrrlval to the work of rescue. Ho se cured an axe, and, like the others, en gaged In similar task, he chopped nt the woodwork which securely fasteneJ the Injured nnd dead. Work of Priets. The priest was later joined by Rev. Father Corrlgan, of St. Agnes' church, and Rev. Father Dolan, of St. George's church. The priests rendered able as sistance In rescuing the Injured, and Father Corrlgan annolnted the dead bodies taken from tho wreck. There wns another clergyman who took an active part In the rescue work, Rev. Mr. Bullock, whose experience was related yesterday. Twenty nurses from St. Joseph's hospital were early on the scene and cared for the wounded until the nrrl val ot the ambulance and patrol wagon. St. Joseph's hospital Is a large and well governed Institution with both lay and religious nurses. The whole force worked all night and yesterday with out a thought of rest. At daybreak the only things at the scene of the wreck to tell of the fright ful calamity was a smouldering bed ot ashes where the wreckage had been burned nnd the blood on tho cobble, with which the road at that point Is ballasted.
