AN EVENING WITH THE BALLAD.
Harry Popper Entertain; Friends of
Eagle H. a L. 00.,‘lu Dar-Ion,
‘An Evening With theBallad,“ was
the title of the entertainment given
last ‘lsvaulng by Harry Pepper in the
Darierl Towu Hall, and the audience
that gathered there, nearly filling the
hull, learned more of the meaning of
the ballad as set forth by this singer
and composer, than they could have
learned from scores of books. The en
tertainment was under the auspices of
liiagle Hook and Ladder Company, No.
1, of Daricn, which will not a snug lit-
tle sum as a result.
For any single person to furnish eu-
iainmsnt for nearly two hours to an
audience of musical critics is a didicull
task. yet Mr. Pepper did this with on-
usual graee and credit to himself and
to the great delight of the audience.
which evidenced their approval in fre-
uuent and'vigorous applause. Mr. Pep-
per has lost none of his old-time abil-
ity as an actor and especially as an ill-
Ierpreter of the ballad. His stage
presence is the same as even—easy.
natural and graceful—but the charm.
the secret of his success, lies in his in-
terpretations. lie has, through his
thoroughness as a musician. gained the
inspiration of the. composer. and is able
to communicate part of it, at least.
to his audience. Even an audience of
ordinary intelligence or musical ability
cannot failed to be impressed. lie so
combines feeling, taste and expression
in his renditions as to make his audi-
once one with him from the start, ex.
or. as he expresses them through the
boiled.
Mr. Pepper gave excellent interpreta-
tions of all his selections, but. like all
artists, he had his favorites, which
were alsofayorilcs with the audience.
On account of the length of the pro-
gram there were no encores. At the
start he won the hearts of his audi-
once with the ever popula.r""Sally in
()ur Alley." and touched their hearts
with the beautiful song, “She Were a
Wreath of Roses." Changing from
the pathetic to the amusing he again
earned the plaudits of his hearers ln‘
"Barney Buntline" and the rollicking,
never tiring "Rory ()'More." He gave
an excellent rendition of the pathetic
little Irish song "i'm Sitting by the.
Stile" and gave the lmprosslble "Low
Backed Cur." an equally fine rendition;
"The Village Blacksmith." a character-
istic piece. was admirably given. in it
was the sturdy vigor of the brawny
New England blacksmith excellently
portrayed by the entertainer of the
evening. In "Father O'h‘lyiin" was iln
personified the jovial. good natured
and tender hearted Catholic priest,
willie in “Jenny." his original compos‘
tion. Mr. Pepper made the hit. of the
evening. in all his numbers be proved
himself the true artist and his wide
range of subjects amply demonstrated
his versatility. lie was especially of
feetive in his Irish songs. rendering
the dialect to perfection. The singing
was interspersed by a brief history of
the ba‘lud. recitations, with soft piano
accompaniment, biographical sketches.
anecdotes and Incidental music,
The accompanist of the evening was
Edward ll. Manvliie, the well-known
organist and pianist. whom Mr. Popper
always secures if it is possible. Mr.
Munvillo also proved himself the true
artist. a master of his instrument, and
a rare accompanist. playing with no-
usual skill and much expression. With-
out his assistance the entertainment
would have been lifeless.
'l‘br sla'rc scltlnc. under the direc-
tion of J Plymort iloyt. was very pret-
Iv and effective. it represented a for-
shimmering

the neat souvenirtwelve-page pro.

«elections as sung, enabling the audi~
once to follow the singer. The ushers

l0 linker Train
The express out of Danbury at 7
o'clock. this morning. met with an ac—
cident In South Norwalk that put the
entire train out of commission for sev-
eral hours, and made it necessary for
Ill west and south-bound trains to
travel on the inside track for several
hours. The express, while backing up
to enter the yard. after having cut
loose two of the cars at the South Nor-
wuik station to go with the 8:16 ex~
press to New York. ran off the track.
The accident happened about 8:20. or
shortly after the New York express
hal‘left. and was due to a rail being
left open.
,The train had left the station. and
was backing up to enter the yard at a
fair rate of speed. About fifty feet
soutbof the funk, whore the new foun-
dation was recently built, only about
twu hundred fret from the end of the
Washington street railroad bridge, the
wheels of the rear car ran Into the en-
en switch. and threw the car off. The
train was going at a fair rate of speed
at the time. and the momentum cur-
~ied it about fifty feet on the ties. At
the first intimation that anything was
wrong, the brakcman on the train call—
.ul out, the engineer applied the brakes.
'ml the train was brought to a stop.
By this time the two ours and ten-
ler were all off the tracks. the only
part of the train remaining on the rails
being the engine. No. 218. The last
tar. No. 175, was the worst off. The
'ear wheels had left the tracks and
traveled for a considerable distance
along the ties towards the bank and
dailroud avenue. Had the rear whet-ls
ukrn the same turn as those In front
.he car could not have escupyd going
iown the bunk. 'inere was no one in-
side at the time. This last car was
“filed decidedly towards the street. and
the top of the our rested against the
'ccd pipe of the tank.
The second car was No. 2.390 All of
her wheels were off the rails. but not
an badly as the fast car. Abandoning
the two cars, work was immediately
begun to get the tender back on the
pile. and Engine 139 was brought up
ind attached to Engine 213. Both tried
for about half an hour. The replaclnr
frogs wrre used. but they failed to
work with any good (fleet. and the
tender only got in a worse position
than before. Finally this was given
up. and a despatch was sent to Stalu~
ford. for the wrecker. and it arrived
here at 10:40.
,'l'lic regular engineer on fills train
is Joseph Hoyt. but Alfred H. Muller-
3011 was substituting for him today.
Edward Smith was the conductor. and
he was severely bruised. He reached
the bell rope to slgna. the engineer,
when the rope came down. throwing
Mr. Smith on th floor of the car. and
shaking him up badly.
