STAPLES ARRESTED.
Will Be Asked to Explain His Busi'
ness Methods While In
the Smoky City.
Harry E. Staples was arrested yes
terday in this city on a charge of
fraud preferred by W. K. Heritage, of
the firm of Jones & Heritage, commis
sion merchants, of Philadelphia.
It appears from tbe statement of JJ.
L. Kline, an employe of Staples, who
was arrested on a similar ouarge sav
eral weeks ago, that Staples has been
aoting in a somewhat peouliar manner
during the post summer. According to
Klines written statement, now in
Chief Sim Dion's hands. Staples engaged
bim to go to Pittsburg and to allow
the use of bis name in a wholesale fruit
andproduoe businsss which he estab
lished tbere ana which he ran
with tbe evident purpose of
taking in all he could end
paying as little as possible. Staples
lived in splendid style in the Smoky
City, and as he never used any of the
revenues of tbe business in paying for
tbe stook and Irom tbe fact tbat Kline
aocideatly opened a letter whlou was
addressed to Staples be (Kline) was led
to believe that he was being made the
eatepaw for a swindling business and
locking up the store be came home.
Tbs full extent of Staples' transac
tions cannot be learned at present, but
it is stated upon good authority that
he has suoceeded in selling and pook
eting the returns on several carloads
of country produce, tropical fruits and
vegetables. The Philadelphia firm

ples, which was aceomplisbed Tester
day morning by Chief Simpson and
Officer Roche. Tbey had been looking
for him for a couple of weeks, but
oould not locate bim, it being given
out by bis relations tbat he was "up

was taken, held bim in 11.000 bail. C.

OPENING OF DAVIS' THEATER.
Eeason of the Traosformtd Wonderland

On Monday George E. Davis will re
open his popular place of amusement
for the fifth season. The Attraction
will be "All Lady Vaudeville Stars.
This sssson the honse will be known bb
Davis theater, it baviag been deoided
to abandon tbe old name wonderland
The attraction witb which tbe bouse
will open is a splendid one and not to
be compared to tbe so-called "Beauty
Shows that go about the country witb
nothing else to recommend them to
amusement patrons.
A large number of first class com
binatlons have already been engaged,
whose standing is far above anything
yet shown in scranton for tbe money.
Tbe price of admission, notwitbstand
ing tbat tbe expenses will be mocb
greater, will remain tbe same 10, SO
or 30 cents. Ten cents will be charged
all children under 13 years of age, and
a free seat in the theuter will be given
them, on Saturday afternoons only.
Mr. Davis says:
"We are relnotantly compelled to
drep the name "Wonderland" in cur
advertising, as it bad tbe effect In the
professional world of forcing the im
pression tbat we were still conducting
a museum a notion w must aispei
in order to secure higher class
attractions. Bat all onr Scranton
friends will identify the old stand
by the new title, "Davis' Theater,"
for obvious reasons, and probably many
will never drop the old euphonious
and suggestive title which has been a
bonsebold word for several years.
Performances will be given every at
ternoon and evening.

WHERE CAM WE OBTAIN REST
Not In Congross or Among Million
airesBut Among the Disciples of
Christ A Sunday Evening Service
at Frothingham's Theater Evange
list Schivera Will Bring the Other
Mission Tent to Scranton.
Evangelist Moody will address a
meeting of men at the Frothingham
theater on Sunday evening at 8 p. m.
It will be preceded by a service of
song.
Mr. Bliss and Mr. bebivern will re
main in Scranton and carry on the ser
vices until tbe end of September. Mr.
Moody lays great stress upon the im
portance of tent meetings, as they are
tbe means ot reaching the people who
are regarded as not being so easily
within tbe reach of tbe cbnrcbes. At
7.80 p. m. a special feature will be a
male chorus of sixty voloes and an or
chestra. Mr. Moody will probably address a
meeting in the West Side Gospel tent,
but no definite arrangements have as
yet been made, us Mr. Moody, who is
subject to weakness ; of the heart, has
neen roroiauen oy nis puysieisn to
preach in any but a well ventilated
room.
Mr. Schivera, who has conducted
very successful mission services in
Pittston. will bring a largo tent oaDa-
ble of seating about 2,003 persons to
scranton, but tbe location has not yet
oeen decided npon. ait. schivera Is
most successfnl in his mission among
tbe foreigners, and quickly enlists
their sympathy and succeeds in insur
ing their proeence at bis meetings, when
the various churches have tailed in
their endeavors to draw them into
their communion.
Tbe 4 o'olook meeting at Elm Park
church yesterday afternoon was
marked by an increased attendance.
Mr. Moody walked np the aisles and
selected several ladies as a eboir, who
discharged tbeir duties most ef
ficiently. Mr. Stebbins and Caswallon
Davies gave selections from the gospel
tunes.
STUDY OP TUB BIBLE.
Mr. Moody's snbjuot was "How to
Study tbe Bible," and be gave a most
interesting addross containing Draotl
cal bints, and suggested that people
should take one book at a time, giving
it a telescopic and microsoonlo view.
a tolesaopio view by going through it
to understand the connections between
one chapter and tbe other as well as
the continuity ot tbe book, and a ml.
croscoplo view by reading it minutely
and in detail and carefully pondering
over each verse. Mr. Moody also gave
a summary of tbe benefits resulting
from revivals and demonstrated how
eaab chnroh sprung from rsvivals. He
renewed bis invitation to young men
for this evening's sermon upon "Tbe
Prophet Darnel," and stated tbat tbe
body of the church would be reserved
for them.
An increased congregation in Elm
Park church laBt evening eloquently
testified to tbe wonderful and lasting
Influence of Mr. Moody npon tbe
thousands. Mr. Stebbins again ooo
dncted the preliminary service of song.
wbioh was heartily joined in by tbe
vast congregation.
Before the sermon, Dr. Robinson
stated tbat noble mission work bad been
carried on in tbe two valleys for some
months, and from Wilkes-Barre the
army of tents were movisg upward
and meeting tbe enemy with their
heavenly ammunition, and had been
most successful in conquering un
righteousness and asked the offerings
of tbe congregation toward the ex
penses of the movement.
MOODY'S EVENING SERMON.
Mr. Moody said be wonld speak neon
one of Christ's promises wbioh was the
most precious. During bis remarks be
said in part:
Tbere are some promises made to ns all
which are conditional and some which
are unconditional, but this promise Is
purely an unconditional one and for all.
"Come onto me ye tbat are weary and heavy
iuuuu nnu i win give yon rest." vv nere
can we find this "rest' iu the world? I
would not look for it among the million
aires where there is never rest. Neither
would I look for It in the congress, where
in tbe lower honse tbey are always fight
ing to get Into tbe senate and from there
to the white house and there surely is the
last place I wonld look for rest. Rest will
never be found in bouor or fani. I would
go among tbe disciples of Jesus Christ who
bad funnd this rest thirty or forty years
ago.
Tbe promise was also true or its untruth
would have been found out during tbe last
1,8 )0 years. The promise was also very
comprehensive ns it was for all, starting
with that gentlemau la the front stmt of
the gallery and including you all right to
tbe choir behind.
I have seen many people who seem to
make a virtue of carrying their troubles
and lugging them around with them wher
ever tbey went. It was like a blast of east
wind in March to meet them. Those peo
ple, when tbey come to the service, fancy
tbey lose their troubles and drop them in
tbe pew, but as soon as the benediction is
prouonnced they grab them np again.
Mr. Moody then went on to disanss
Ihe word yoke and was most bappy in
bis lucid explanations which were
manifestly appreciated by tbe audi
ence. Mr. Moody will prench in the
Elm Parkohurcu at 4 o'clock this af
ternoon and as previously announced
at 8 p. m. will speak npon ''Tbe
Prophet Dini;l." The address will I o
to mm, tor whom the body ot tin
church will be reserved, and ladies die
