.7 E Toole and his comjiany gave an
enjoyable performance of "Killarnev
and The Rhine" before an appreciative
audience at Rand's Opera House last
night. The play, although the plot is
not at all new, was interesting* It was
the usual Irish melo-drama, with per
haps a little more fineness of constrnc
ion and more delicate situations than
are customary in plays of that class.
Mr. Toole, as Conrod, was excellent,
and Lis sweet singing was one of the
best features of the performance. Miss
Lillian DeWolf, as Eily O'Nile. gave
general satisfaction, and Mr. Ander
son's Larry Kernan was a splendid
piece of acting. John E. Lain, as the
villain, Colonel LeMoyne, made himself
most cordially hated, although his part
was well taken.—Troy Recoid.

PORTER .T WHITE'S "FAUST" FEB
IST.
While in reality there are few better
and more favorable known stars among
the public than Mr White, and it is for
the benefit of those who do not call to
mind this brilliant young star's career
which reiterates an experience of un
precedented success, covering a period of
almost a quarter of a century, and yet
this powerful young star has not
attained the age of 31. For seven
years Mr White was the head and front
of Morrison's "Faust," playing the part
of Mephisto over 1,500 times with that
company; three years later he inaugu
rated his present grand and magnifi
cent production of Goethe's 'Faust,
outrivaling any and all attempts of the
other prominent stars in the piece.
His production, as it stands to-day,
represents an outlay of over $20,000 and
stands alone, the Peer of all Semi-Spec
tacular productions of Faust ever at
tempted.

ACCIDENTS.
The iaany friends of Frank Allison
are sorry to hear of the nnfortnnate ac
cident which befell him Thursday night
last. Theprevions Morning, he went to
work as a freight brakeman on the
Penn'a railroad and while attempting
to step from one car to another he fell
between them and the wheels passed
over his leg. severing if from his body.
The accident happened near Bolivar on
the Penn'a line and Frank was taken to
a hospital in Pittsburg, He is a son of
H. H. Alison the chinaware and toy
dealer, and is well known in Bntler.
A Franklin Pa. paper has the follow
ing account of the Ford Bra ham acci
1 dent. "A resident of Harrisville, Bnt
ler oountv. named Brahaui. had a mirac
ulous escape from death on Sunday
night. He had driven to Franklin in a
bob-sled early in the week when sleigh
ing was good and on Sunday started to
drive home. At a point about a mile
west of Polk the wagon road crosses the
Lake Shore railroad track, and the
horses, which were allowed by Mr. Bra
ham. who had fallen asleep, to choose
their own course, turned up the rail
road track instead of following the road
They continued up the track for a dis
tance of oyer three quarters of a mile,
coming to a stop just before reaching
the railroad bridge near the Polk sta
tion. The horses were either unable or
did not attempt to move from the track,
and a west-bound freight train, which
passed through Frankiin at 10 o'clock
last night, struck the outfit Both
horses were instantly killed, and in the
bed of the sled, which was knocked a
distance a distance of (H> feet from the
track. Mr Braham was found in an un
conscious condition. He diti not regain
his senses until to-day and cannot now
tell anything about the accident. Mr.
Braham's injuries are severe, but not
necessarily fatal."
