Victims Are Struck Without
Warning and Their Bodies
Hurled Fifty Feet and Hor
ribly Mangled.
Thru* persona wora killed and one

Cramer and his wife, whose home Is

ing started to return to the home of
the O'Connell's.
When they reached the crossing of
the railroad at South Wilkesbarre they
were stopped by a freight train going
south. They waited until the last car
passed and then stepped on tho opposite
or north-bound track.
They had hardly done so before they
were struck by the Buffalo express,
running at a rapid rate of speed. O'Con
nell, his wife and Mrs. Cramer were
hurled fully fifty feet through the air
and landed in different places. Cramer
did not gyt the full force of the blow and
was able to pick himself up. He sus
tained only a few slight bruises.
The bodies of Mrs. O'Connell and Mrs.
Cramer, however, were horribly mangled.
Mrs. O'Connell's head was crushed.
O'Connell, the husband, lived a short
time. Ills legs and arms were mashed.
Cramer, whon he saw the mangled
bodies of his wife and Mrs. O'Connell,

were on the track a few feet ahead of
the locomotive. He did not have time
to reverse his engine.

THEATRICAL.
Porter J. White will present his ver
sion of Faust at the Grand opera house
Saturday evening, reappearing in his
favorite role of "Mephistophelet." Miss
Olgo Verne is the "Marguerite." The
eotlre production is liberally staged by
Mr. White with spocial scenery, proper
ties, electrical apparatus, etc., for each
act. Tho story of Faust is the embodi
ment of a most remarkable system of
belief which found its culmination in
the Middle Ages. What tho effect of
such a production, hampered though it
were by the insufficient stage effects of
those days, must have had uu an audi
ence which faithfully believed in witch
craft and actual demoniac pass s>ion
and compacts witli the ♦*vli one, wo an
utterly unable to conceive. We flatter
ourselves that we have gotten beyoiiu
all that, but human nature does not
change. Faust is at once &|wa\s old
and always new.

Miss Mildred Holland, who will short
ly play an engagement in Freeland in
her drama, "The Power Behind the
Throne," is a most versatile young
woman. In "Tho Power Behind the
Throne" she will be seen as Aria, the
daughter of a court musician. In
speaking of Miss Holland's performance
the Scranton Tribune of December 1
said, in part: " 'The Power Behind
tho Throne,' founded on Schiller's 'Love
and Intrigue' by Theodore Kreiner, was
presented at the Lyceum last night.
The audience was large and received
the drama with every evidence of favor.
The star, Mildred Holland, received
enthusiastic recalls at tbo close of the
third and fourth acts. Tho latter con
cluded the play, but the greater part
of those present remained in their seats
until the curtain was raised and the
I little woman who invested the rolo of
Aria with such true realism was re
vealed, bowing her acknowledgements."
The principal members of the cast are
Lillian Norris, Francis Brooke, Rita
O'Neal, Frederic Ormonde, Victor de
Silke, Frank Drew, S. A. Rose, L. D.
Wharton, Leonard Walker, Florence
Ronner and many others.

The Telltale Bird.
There is a bird I'd like to see,
A bird that always tells of me.
Whenever I have naughty been
Tins bird is surely to drop in
And tell mamma just what I've done.
Then she calls me "My little son"—
I know just what she's going to say.
"Hs, "Johnny, you've been bad today!"
But when 1 aak, "How do you know?"
•She says, "A little birdie told me GO."
And if a piece of pie I take
Or even a small bit of cake
From pantry where no windows are,
And I creep through the door ajar.
This little bird has eyes to see
And tells mamma all tales 'bout me;
Yet still I never saw this bird,
But ever of it I have heard.
Mamma says, "Oh, he flies around I"
'Tis strange I cannot hear a sound,
Although I look and listen well
When I do things I would not tell
For fear mamma might call me bad
And look at me with eyes eo sad
That I am sorry, and I say
Again, "I'll never disobey."
I wish I could this rare bird find
That tells such tales when I don't mind.
