The first of the series of tent meet ings in the central city was held on the vacant ;iot on Linden street opposite thsconrt bouse yesterday afternoon when Evangelist Schievera addressed a large gathering In well chosen remarks open the revival, basing his subject on IlCnrouioles vii. 14, from whieh he spoke earnestly npon the responsibili ties of Christian people, their respon sibility for sin and the responsibility of Christian cbaraeter. Mr.Sobievera's strong point on whioh he succeeded in impressing his audience was that God's people kept a judgment from coming on the world and were it not for the church we wonld not, be declared, have the world. As a nega tive illustration be quoted the remark of two infidels "that they had no use for the churob.but who when stranded in a land of savages in an awful storm thought that they wonld event ually be eaten up by the cannibals until they sighted a church steeple when one exelaimed: "We are all right and safe; there is a church her?." If, therefore, the compact of God's people could do so much benrged npon them to be united during the soming week and to pray for an especial favor from the bands of God. He then dealt with the power of prayer and cited the ate of John Knox, who prayed God that Scotland might be saved, and in answer to bis prayer tbe Presbyterian church sprung throughout tbe land. In speaking of the singing at tbe gos pel services Mr. Schievera remarked that be did not want any "fancy sing ing operatio tunes," but something that verybody knew, and eonoluded his address with a .flattering report of tbe railroaders meeting on Friday and the meetings held down the mines in bis campaign np the valley. In tbe evening Mr. Sehievera preached to an andience which swelled out beyond the limits of the tent. He took his text from Titns ii, 14-16. and spoke npon the "Grace of God" and divided bis subjsct into two divisions. 1. What Is the grace of God. 3. What tbe grace of God does. Mr. Weeden sang three Solos last evening with his aoonstomed skill, and Interpreted the meaning of the hymns with much clearness. Messrs. Schiev era and Weeden, in conversation with a Tribune reporter, declare themselves thoroughly satisfied with Scranton and believe that much good is being accom plished by tbe missions. The singing of yesterday's choir under the direction of C. P. Whittemore was regarded as very satisfactory. Mr. Schievera expressed himself as being "after tbe masses" and more than anxions in his endeavor to reach and do good to those people who do not frequent churches. Mr. Sobievera in private life is more earnest tban on tbe platrorm where nis humor ous bent of mind seems to be an attrac tion which succeeds when probably otbsr methods would fall in sustaining tbe cofitiasd iiterest of his hearers. FLOUR IIS FORJHE WEEK Attractions That Will Be Seen at tbe Scran ton Theaters. SOME INTERESTING EVENTS Louis Jamesjand Frederick Warde at the Frothingham Tonight and Marie Wainright at the Academy of Music Pauline Hall on Wednesday and the Burglar Friday Evening. What Manager Davis Offers to the Public. Soranton's growth In importance as a theatrical city U demonstrated by tbe splendid attractions that are being lulled by the local managers for the edification and entertainment of our theatre-goers. Yet in tbe face of the fact that not a few of tbe best com panies on tbe road are being brought to this city, many croakers are beard who declare that potbing fit to be seen ever appears in Scranton. Those who make such remarks in nine cases out of ton never visit the theatre nuless some one else pays the freight At rare intervals they attend a per formance in New York which fur nishes them a text for uncompliment ary remarks about the local theatres for a year afterwards. Tbe theatrical manager is not in tbe business for bis health, and if first-class attractions receive the pttronage they deserve they are only too willing to book them. Within two wesks Scrantonmns have had an opportunity of seeing Rose Coghlan and her company of stars in two of the strongest drum as before tbe puhlio; Thomas Keene gave a finished portrayal of the subtle character of Richelieu, and the original "Trip to Chinatown" company, William Barry, Lewis Morrison, Powell and others gave olever performances. Plays of an inferior quality were sandwiohed iu, but the variety of attractions was such that the discerning playgoer need not err in his selections. ATTRACTIONS FOR THIS WEEK. This will be the most interesting week in theatricals of the season thns far. It opens with Lonis James and Frederick Warde at the Frothingham this evening in "Julius Cieiar," one of tho most interesting of Shakespeare's historical tragedies. Mr. James will portray the ragged character of Brutns and Mr. Warde will be seen as Cas eins. Gny Lindsay, an aotor of ster ling merit, will impersonate Marc An thony and tbe other characters will be up to tbe same high standard. Mr. James and Mr. Warde Are seen at tbeir best in "Julius Cieiar." They serve as excellent foils one for the other and give an interpretation of their roles that is indorsed by the best Shakes pearean scholars of tbe day. Theirs is not a so-called modernized 'Jul ins Cfeiar," but one that clings close to the lines laid down by tbe king of English pluywriters. The scenery and costnmes are historically correct to tbe minutest detail. The sale of seats indicates that there will be a large house. By a strange coincidence Marie Wain right, who a few years ago was Lonis James' wife and starred jointly with him, will also be in this city to night and produee here for the first time her new play, "Daughters of Eve, at the Academy of Music ' A FAVORITE IN SCRANTON. Miss Wainrigbt is one of the pets of the local tbeater-goers and is sure to be greeted by a large house. The ad vance sale of seats indicates as much. Her new play is said to be one of ab sorbing interest and deals with the question of patting man and woman on an equal moral plane. The idea has been used by other dramaists in the constrnction of some of tbe strongest plays that have been seen on tbe Amer ican stage during the last two years. Miss Wainwright has surrounded berseif with a splendid company. The costuming will be a revelation, espec ially for the ladies. Bauer's orchestra is to be larger tban usual and will render a number of special selections. A eornet solo by Joseph Snmmerbill and a flute solo by Thomas Bansobmann are among tbe numbers on the programme. There will be a performance at the Academy every evening during the week. 1 nesday evening Barney Fer gnson will make his reappearance at that bouse in "Duffy's Blunders,' a new farce comedy written especially for him. la bis company are May and Belle Stewart, who will introduce a number of terpsichorean novelties Ferguson's supporting company is composed of clever people. PAULINE BALL WEDNESDAY EVENING. Pool ton's new opera, "Dorcas.'' will be produced Wednesday evening at the Academy by Panline Hall and her company. Always graceful, clever and sweet voiced berseif, Miss Hall does not fear to surronnd herself with a capable company. "Dorcas" is an operatio comedy, strictly speaking, which is somewhat of an, innovation in the operatic field, inasmuch as it does away with large ensembles and gives a strong cast of acting land singing principles, including such well known names as William Broderick, Jeanette St. Henry, Kate Davis, Charles Brad- sbaw and other. Tbe greatest New Yotk mslo-dram- atlo success, "Tbe Brooklyn iiandi cap," will be given at the Academy Thursday night. It tells a story of to day, tbe characters coming from the upper Btrata of New York society. The emotional element is strongly sus tained, and the climaxes powerful, making an interesting story of real life in tbe great metropolis. Friday night that laughable farce. the "Dazzler," will be presented at the Academy by Cosgrove & Grants com pany. It has been re-wriiten since last seen here and many new features have beeu added. "Wife for Wife," a drama of strong human interest, will be seen Saturday night at tbe same house. AT THE FROTHINQHAM. Thursday evening tbe London Sports Big Burlesque company will occupy tbe boards at the Frothingham. The company is a large-one and contains many good variety artists, vocalists, etc. Paris gaiety girls in marobes and dances, are a feature of the perform ance. Sale of seats for the perform ance begins tomorrow. "The Burglar" is the attraction at the Frotbingbntn for Friday evening. It is olean, well written drama of great dramatic interest and will be inter preted by a fine company of players. ''Alabama'' will be given at tbe same honse on October 4 as a benefit for the Stage Hands' association. I tails a delightful story of life iu tnu sonin. ' ' DAVIS' THEATER The Watson Sisters Vaudeville com pany made a deoided bit at Davis' Linden Street theater last week. It was a splendid attraction and drew crowded houses at all the perform ances, afternoon and evening. This week Manager Davis baa equally ns fine a programme to. present to, tin public though of a different kind. He will return to drama and on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday "Mrs. Part ington" will be given and daring the remainder of toe week "CamUle. " The company that will produce these plays lias been carefully selected and will give them a fine interpretation. PRIMARIES ON SATURDAY. Delegates Eleeted to Three Oonveatioas to Bs Held Tuesday. Delegates were elected Saturday to the conventions of tbe Republicans of tbe Twentieth senatorial district and tbe Second and Fourth legislative dis tricts, which will be held on Tuesday. Tbe two first named conventions will be held at the court honse and that of the Fourth district Republicans at Jermyn. C. P. O Mai ley has been making an aggressive fight for the nomination in that district, and after the result of tbe primaries was announced on Saturday bis friends declared that he would be nominated tomorrow practically with out opposition. In the seoond district A T. Connell. of the South Side, is most prominently mentioned for the nomination. The primaries throughout these dis tricts were quiet and orderly. IIATTON HEARD FROM. He Issues a Call for Another Repub lican Convention in the First District. Republicans of the First Legislative district have variously interpreted the call of H. C. Hatton for a convention to be held Thursday to nominate a can didate for the legislature. The conven tion which met in May last nominated John R. Farr, tbe present representa tive, and the following call issued by Mr. liatton is construed by Mr. rarr s friends as an effort to dislolge bim or affect his condidacy: The Republicans of the First legislative district of Lackawanna county will assem ble iu convention at Armory hall Provi dence, in the city of Scranton, on Thurs day, the 27th day of September at 2 o'clock p. in., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the legislature. An eleotion for delegates to tbe conven tion will bo held at the regular polling places on Tuesday, September the 25th, Detweon tne Hours or ana I p. m. - .aca election district will be entitled to the same representation as at the late county convention. 11. (J. Hatton, Chairman. Tbe olaim of H. C. Hatton to be chairman of the Repnblican committee of tbe First legislative district is a rem iniscence of the Von Sstorcn-ifarr con test for the nomination for tbe legisla ture. ' Two years ago when Mr. Farr and Mr. Von Storch were contesting for tbe Republican nominotion the friends of Mr. Von Storch strove bard to have new rales adopted. At aconvention to select a delsgate to tbe Republican state convention of that year, 1802. Mr. Hatton, a North End man, was selected chairman. Notwithstanding that that convention was called for the specific purpose of selecting si delegate to the state convention, Mr. Hatton, the ohairman, appointed a committee to draft new rul.s and afterward called anotber convention to ratify these rules. Tbe only material change made in the oounty rules wss tbat the ohairman of tbe last district convention, which was Mr. Hatton, should preside at the convention to nominate a candidate for the legislature. Tbe county rales provided tbat the ohairman of tbe standing committee shall preei le at tbe convention until a permanent organi zation is effeeted. Tbe friends of Mr. Farr hold that tbe rales were not legally adopted. The call for tbe convention of last May wbioh nominated Mr. Farr was made at 'a meeting of the Republican legislative committee, for wbich meet ing the aspirants for tbe legislative nomination bad both written and verbal notices. By a unanimous vote tbe convention day and tbe time to hold the caucus were named, Tbe vigilance committees in every polling place in tbe distriot recognized the call and delegates I were elected at every precinct in the district. Thirty-seven and one-half delegates ont of tbe forty nine were re-elected for Mr. Farr, Of Mr. Farr's delegates four and one half came from the North End; tbe balance from tbe North End, eleven and one-half, were for Mr. Gillespie and tbe lute D.

The child screamed, tbe woman tried to stifle its cries and tbe cab driver put the whip to the horses and turned toward tbe West Side. Toe full partiaulars of the case are as follows: On Monday, Sept. 17, a woman,80 years old apparently, dressed in heavy mourning and wearing a deep veil, engaged rooms at the St Charles botel. Short lv after her arrival she asked Mr. Keogh to ring for a messen ger bov. Scaranlv a llnv nuaaail rolthnnfc a messenger or two being sent by her. quo regwierea as Mrs. Anna veig, Sioux Hitv. T Th raanlt i-t k.i. sages brought her stepfather, Jacob J. U in . .... onuuger, oi uuu r.ynon street, to tno hotel. The name she attached to the rncria. ter was a fictitious one, her proper name being Mrs John Manchester. Her hnsbaud is a painter employed at tbe oar shops of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Weatarn railrna nnmn.n and be boards d at Danner's boarding nouie, iv Litnaen street. They have a little daughter. Nettie, 7 years old, and this is tbe child that was abducted Saturday. Mrs Manchester's actions Returning to the nnmun at tho, fit Charles hotel, an amount nFhar aHnna Is interesting, Sbe did not let a day pass without sending ont several mes sages reoeiving as many in return. Landlord Ksoch said that ha thrvnu-ht she was a female detective. Her man ner was mysterious and she was ex tremely noncommunieative. Sbe would sit for hours as it expecting a visit from somebody, and was very ill at ease. At noon Satnrilav aha nrdai-l At Keogh to send for a cab and asked to bave it at the hotel at 12.50 sharp. Tbe cab arrived from Nealis' livery ana was ariven Dy James McNamara, an attache of the auhlni nt APA leaving tbe botel the woman paid her uiu anu oroorea tne porter to carry a heavy satchel to the cab. She went outside and directed the driver to proceed down Penn avenue to Pine Brook. After tbat she ordered bim to make a tour of the city, and about 3 o'clock she told him to retrace his steps to the botel, at least that is tbe story told by MoNamara. He be lieved that she was sent out by Mrs. Duggan on some child-iaving expedi tion. When the eab got to the point where the abduction occurred the woman leaped out as is related. The act was witnessed by a large crowd of people and excitement ran bigb, although no one interfered. The kidnaper was a West Side girl before ber marriage eight years ago to John Manchester, wbo came here from Eiston. Tbeir wedded life bus been a stormy one and she left home three times altogether. LIVED ON PENN AVENUE. Before ber last dissppesrance, which was in tbe latter part of August, Mis. Manchester lived with her husband on Penn avenue. Sbe was an omnivorous reader of yellow-covered literature and dime novels and ber husband attributes ber msd oapricis to this cause. He is a painter employed at tbe Delaware. Lackawanna & Western railroad car sbops and makes good wages. In AngOBt when she left home lie learned tbat sbe bought a ticket for Chicago. Then he broke up house and went boarding with Danner's on Lin den street, His little daughter was with him and he spared no expsnse to clothe her and make hercontented. He heard that bis Wife bad returned to tbe city and tbat her Intention was to steal tbe child. Then he gave orders to Mr. Danner's wife to keep the child within doors. Later he was told tbat bis wife was not in tbe city and tbe news made him relax his vigilance. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Thomas Gilbool, of 633 North Main avenue, a daughter of Mrs. Danner, visited the residence of her father and took the Jaughtrr of Mr. Manchester out for a walk. She had been out of tbe house on the street only a few minutes when the cab drove along and tbe child was snatched from her by its mother, Mrs. Gilliool resisted tbe attempt of tbe fu rious mother bat was powerless to pre vent tbe abduction. Sbe then went to tbe car shops and notified Mr. Manchester of tbe hap pening, who pursued bis wife to Pitts ton, -bnt could not overtake her. Tbe woman, when the cab reached the West Side, in answer to the driver's question, told bim to drive to Wilkes Burre. He refnsed to go there and she asked him to drive her to Pittston. He did this and let her off at tbe Delaware and Hudson depot at Cork lane. Her husband was an hour behind time and lost track of her. He noti fied Chief of Police Simpson, but noth ing had been beard of the woman up to last night. He thinks sbe will travel west and, if possible, will send an of ficer after bor. . .
