There U No Trace of the Boy and
the Italian Denies All Knowledge ot
Him.
"The mystery lurronniling the dis
appearance of K idle l!rotlirton, the
Ashley boy who va suppose I to have
been stolen a week ago yesterday, is
still uuraveU'd," savs Saturday's
Wilkes Bam Evening Times "Every
clue has been run to earth by the p
lici'men, 'out as yet nothing substantial
bu resulted. Mr. and Mi'. Hrother
ton, the parents of the unfortunate
youngster, are nearly crazed with
grief, and some of ttie neighbor! are in
constant attendance upou tho hysten
cal mother.
"All kinds of rttUOr concerning the
lost boy have been tiring the rounds,
and it w is upon the strength of one of
them that i'ohcemeu Phillips and
Miall, dressed in citizens' clothes, with
Mr. BrotbtrtOO mid a Times reporter
set out yesterday shortly before dinner
to search the Arablau and ltuliau quar
ters in the city.
"It was learned that Kddie Di'otUer
toti, or a boy strongly answeriug his
description, was seeu at the corner of
Park avenue and liaxle street at 5;i)l)
Friday eveuiug, the afteruoou of his
disappearauo:, iu the conipauy of au
Ituliau organ grinder.
rAXBU SVA.NTE1 ASSISTANCE.
"Mr. Brothirton appeared at tho
mayor's oinoe at noon yesterday and
asked that a couple of policemeut ac
company him with authority to search
the suspected quarters. Phillips au 1
Miall were therefore detatled.
"The first place visited was Breu
naa'l saloon, corner of Park avenue
and Haila slreet. Here it was learned
that Lea Francis, a girl in the employ
of Mr Urannan, had seen a boy auswer
i u jj the description of young Brother
tou in the cotupauy of an Italian organ
grinder, and that he had started to
wards Ashley when he wss overtaken
by the little girl who collects the pen
nies while the organ is bein; played.
"Miss Frauds says she saw the or
Kan grinder girl strike the youngster
and told hun with a lt!OB Italian ac
cent that he must accompauy her. In
speaking to him she used his own sur
name, Eldis. The hoy was alfo seen
by Joe Breuuan.-i son of the proprietor,
h was also learned here that a youug
girl in the Parrish street school had
ssen him,
"Lizzie Zimmerman hal seen the
boy on the day of his disappearance.
Sue was hunted up and when ques
tioned remembered talking to a boy on
Friday and tne description she gave
tallied minntely with the lost boy.
THE BOY. Vl-'EST10SKL.
'"I asked him his name and where he
lived, continued Miss !uniuerinan,
'but he was crying and did not seem to
understand me lie was ou the street
and near the candy store across the
way '
"The candy store in question is juit
opposite the school house,
"After a consultation at this point it
was decided to visit the various Italian
sod Arabian homes iu the hope of
rinding the boy in their keeping. On
arrival there the Times mm was repre
sented as a doctor from the board of
health, and Phillips and Miall were
deputized to search the booses in quest
of diphtheria or other malignant dis
eases. After skirting about a half a dozen
alleys the party brought up on Joues
street Number Td, an Arabian joint,
was the bat house entered. There
were two sick persous on the second
story. The floors were bar and scat
tered about were half a dozen or more
emp'y beer barrel The pungsnt odor
of tnioos and garlic pervaded the
house.
THE DOCTOR STOBY DIDN'T 00.
" 'You no doc. ; I know you,' were
the first words spoken by the boarding
boss to the Times mm. 'Von nnki.i
de report.' With this he made for the re
porten with vengeance in his eye, and
was only restrained from mauling the
newspaper m m by the heroic efforts of
Miall and Phillips From here the
party went to fto. 10 Botl alley, but
nothing was found. No. 11 resimbl-d
the first place visited in that the whole
house wss p"rmeated by the odor of
onions and garlic. Moyalien street,
was then visited.
"This place seems to be one of tho
numerous store houses for the supply
of Arabian pddlera. Rosaries, pic
tures of the Virgin, small bibles an I
hymn books, and iu fact everything
likely to excite the fancy of the Arab
ian housewife, were therein profusion.
On the second fl or In one of the bed
rooms there ware laid ou; ai Many as a
hundred pies. Whether : ro ped
dled or used among the inhabitant! of
little Arabia, the reporter tonld not
find out.
"The next place wss I : . Dma slreet.
This was another snpylv lions for ti e

NO TRACK OF THE BOY
"doing the rounds from there 01
Lehigh street, 17 Ash street, Ntison's
alley, a narrow thoroughfare iu the
rear of St. Alnysius ball, and a half
doze.'t other joints were visited and
thoroughly searched without finding
the mining boy.
"At one place the whereabouts of
ROCCO, the organ grinder, was discov
ered. He is an Italian of some meant
and llrei In Hstleton, He was identi
fied by having one arm.
"There is no doubt but that Kjcco

RO0O0 IN THIS CITY.
Patrolman Fhttlloi was unable to
find Roc CO in Hszleton ior the reason
tli.it ior several days past that mimical
artist lias been setting the nerves of
people in this city on edge with his

WORLD'S GREATEST CURIOSITY.
Rhama a -Sams, the Man-Monkey, to Be
Exhibited at Eden Musoe.
The most curious of all natural curi
osities will be on exhibition at the Eden
Musee this week. It is the far-famed
Khama a Sams, known as the half man,
half monkey. Darwin claimed that
man and monkey hod one one origin,
but no evidence of this could be found
until Krao, tbe nearest approach of the
cuiosn race to the animal kingdom was
captured. Now that Khama-a-Hama,
the nearest approach of the animal
kingdom to tbe human race has been
captured, the question is nearer solu
tion than ever. Khama-a-Ssma is one
of the mysterious curios and should be
seen
James Morris, the wonderful elastic
skin man, and tbe original punch and
judy show will also serve to entortain.
In the theater Harry S, Eaton's Afro

On the Fly.
OrJe of the most interesting and diffi
cult of surgical operations wss suc
cessfully performed ant Pittstou hos
pttaX one day last week, by Dr. J. J.
Walsh; atteudiug physician of the hos
pital, assisted ly three other physi
cians, culled iu consultation. The
process was that of thorocatoiuy and
the circumstance! wre its follows:
William Holt, tbe patient, had been
shot, the ball entering his left breast,
above the heart, and passing down
ward. The wound discharged pue,
which a tub could not relieve. It was
apparent thut unless tho uir chambers
of the lung were freed of tin pus from
the wound uud a downward chuunel
through which it could be drained,
Holt would die Chloroform wai ad
ministered. Au InetliOO was made
nest the base of Ike seventh rib,
about twelve Inches distant from the
wound on th chest A portion of
the seventh rib au inch and a half
lotig was removed, then the silver tube
wss inserted aud shoved up six inches
into tbo lung to tho cavity filled with
pus, and the mis flowed out through
the tube. After the upsrutioti the pa
tient' temperature was 1UU: ut mid
night 102, and iu the morning the lung
was ill lined free of all foreign m itter
and the patient's temureture was
100 a -5. The wound already shows
signs of bealiug. This is tbe first oper
ation of the kind ever performed in
this state, and very few similar opera
tions have beau attempted in tbe
United States.
This it what the Carbondsle Herald
says of the interestiug aerial now ap
pearing in The TbuDHR: "A Study in
Scarlet," a very captivating serial, is
now being published by the esteemed
Sorautou TRIBUNE, In daily install
ments. The saene of the story is laid
In London, that center of so many
diabolical crimes mid so much human
wretchedness. Ths plot is deeply ab
sorbing, abounds in thrillingBituUious
aud entertaining climaxes. Its litera
ture is pure, pleasureable, polished.
The story is without a heroine, thus
far, but its hero, a detective, is abl,
eccentric, and highly educated. He is
a keen snalyist of human shsracter,
and his deductions in this
particular are interesting and
phenomenal. Frntn the merest scrap
of information, or the most tangled
web of circumstances, ho weaves a line
of evidenoe that in at nnce clear, cum u
Iative and corroborative. The atory
has its touching lines as well, for the
author transports bis readers from th
world's metropolis to the arid planes of
North America, where he dexterously
unfolds a bit of true pathos, in intro
ducing a golden haired little girl, on
whose tresses still linger a mother's
lust kisses. The ssriul is an engross
ing bit of fiction, and tbe masterful
hand of the author is showu in its every
chapter. This hastily written estimate
of the story may seem unwarranted,
but it is not. It la the conviction of
one who finds much to admire in tbe
entertaining lines in "A Study in Scar
let," a i
in Mac's book store the other day
two school teachers of the city were
looking at a book.
"Do you give discounts to school
teachers';" asked one.
"No, sirec, I don't," said "Mac." "If

In the panel of jurors that did duty
In the county court last we-k was a
gray haired veteran from Scott town
ship named Albert Gravis This year
makes his twenty fourth consecutive
year for doing jury duty. Erly in tbe
week he was on the Ghere case, and
when the jury was about to enter
court with its verdict Mr Graves thu
addressed the jurors: "Gentlemeu, 1
desire to thank you very siuoerely for
one little kindness that perhaps has
escaped your notice. Th fumes of
tobacco are particularly annoying to
me, and this is th first jury 1 aver
served on that did not cause me more
or less uneasiutM o i tiiat account."

Kksting is vry popular pastime
with tna young people this winter and
nearly every Bight when th weather
is propitious th pouds in this vicinity
are dot ted With mtrfy skater. John
son' lake, on Washington avenue, and
the old brickvnrd pond, o:i the West
Side, are patroniz.-d by the younger
clement, while the older one go to
Mountain lake, Number Sevo i , llm
hurst, or Glunburu, Skating parties
are just now a popular fad with society
and mauy an enjoyable evening fl
sp-tut iu gliding over th let.
Th excellent skating ou the numer
ous ponds about BoMMton is prrhaps
appreciated more by tin wll known
Bdtfard Mullou than any oue els in
the entire city. Although Mr. Mellon'
hair is the color o( suo.v, he Is far and
ahead of any skater in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. They say that a person
never forgets how to skate, once he
learn. This is certainly true in th
case of Mr Mellon, for h executes tbe
forward and backward rolls, the gtape
yiue, uud all the other diftlsult fancy
flitures on ice with as much grace
aud euae a ho did when he was many
v ins younger uud when there was good
skating where tho court hous Is uow
located. There are many Borautoniani
who will remember bis wonderful skat
Ing there and afterwards on Weston's
pond. It's a great sourc of pleasur to
see Mr. Mellon, tlm oldest man on any
of the ponds, showing the young psopl
bow to execute those ditUcnlt figures
that only he is capable of accomplish

Upon th principle that w'.iare there's
n lot of smoke there must be some fire,
gossip insists, dospite denials, that the
Pennsylvania railroad people, or thtii
oou(i!nti:tl agents, are buying in L
high Valley stock. It is a fact, in spite
ofd"iiials, that negotiations are icttt
aliy in nrogresa looking to th acquisi
tion, by persous hostile to the present
management, of L high Valley stock
It ia also a fact that the Penney could
use the Valley to great advantage. Put
two and two together, and what do
you get? Why, of course, the possi
biiity that there a chipmunk In
tbe woodpile. Then, too, the
I'ennsy wants to get into Scrantou.
Toil is no fable, although it is old. Th
Peunsy would slip iu here tomorrow, if
it law it way clear. What sensible
corporation wouldn't'' What corpora

the Valley want to get Id here. But there

there would hi big business for oue,
