He | mediately whistled for down brakes, reversed his engine, and jumped from the locomotive. ‘The freman remained at his post, and the train went crashing into the freight train, telescoping sevoral of the rear cars of the freight train and smashing them into slivers. The express car of the Pullman train was next to the engine, and was not much injured. The baggage, mail, smoking, and one passenger car were telescoped nto ea h other and driven into another passen- car, a solid mass, nearly two-thirds of i ath.

The play {s designed to illustrate the fidelity and devoted affection of an old family fervant, The action throughout Is strictly aad properly subordinate to this object. As Kerry, the faithful old follower, Mr. Bout cault won the sympathies of the audience at the outset, and retained their close attention till the curtain dropped. His acting was humorous, pathetic, and ‘retined. with an entire absence of that broader ele- ment of ‘i ‘osity to which a part like this offers such temptation, and which will nearly always be resorted to by an actor of ins ferior culture.
