The Vesper Literary association of
Scranton held its fonrteentb annual
re union in the Penn Avenue Baptist
ohurch parlors last evening.
The committee of arraagements con
sisting of F. M. Koehler, chairman;
W. h. bohtinnff. secretarr: J. W.
Browning, E. 8 Williams, Professor
L. A. Lange and C. F. Pross earried
out the details of the evening to per

Divine blessing on tbe repast tbe large
company sat down to an excellent ban
quet of choice and varied artloles
whlou tastefully deoorated two largo
tables ruining the length of the large
room.
A lengthy toast list was afterwards
followed up commencing with tbe re
marks of President H. A. Smith who
spoke upon a quotation from Milton
"lo know that which before ns lies in
daily life is the prime wisdom" and
gave a learned dissertation upon tbe
duty of everv man imparting words of
wisdom when be was able for the ad
vancement of bis fellow beings. Their
Vesper society had prodnoed men of
whose record they were proud and
who were carrying out this command.
REMARKS BY PROFESSOR LANGE.
Professor Lange, the toastmaster, in
a felieitous speech referred to the good
wbieb tbe vespers bad aoeomplisbed
in their community and gave several
bumorousillnstriktions of a "reformer,"
which were appropriate, as he was fol
lowed by ez-Couucllman J. W. Brown
ing, "oslebrated of poll-tax ordinance,
who gave a comprehensive address
npon "Municipal Reform," and in re
ferring to tbe Utm "Vesper lights." so
often quoted during the evening, sug
gested that tbe lights sbonld shine in
Scranton upon the street car system.
Witn regard to taxation be asked
why sbonld the owner of a house and
lot pay five or six times more taxes
than - tbe gigantlo railway concerns
paid on tbe same amonnt of property.
Street sweepings in other cities brought
sufficient revenue to pay the cost of
cleaning tbe streets. Tbe care
of tbe poor required more con
"ideration and there was suf
ficient room for improvement ip
the poor law sytem of Scranton. The
Hillside home was referred to as tbe
splendid big white elephant on the
mllside. Oar city water and eleetrlo
light supplies should be seeored by the
city and not be controlled by the pres
ent owners, and the result would bo
that the water would be supplied at
one-third the cost
They, however, had not "sand"
enough to carry this out. They want
ed young men of courage and energy
to remove this combination of private
interest and bring tbe city back to
good government.
A. A. V osb tug was absent and in his
stead Walter Frank discussed "Ves
pers Externally," and was followed by
vv. i aenimpff, who made a humorous
speech on "College Life."

cellent speeches of tbe evening was
delivered by E. S. Williams npon
'Recollections. Mr. Williams was
enthusiastically greeted when his oan
didacy as reoorder of deeds on the
Prohibition ticket was mentioned. In
a fluent speech sparkling with live
anecdotes be kept bis audience in a
continual state of merriment. Ilia re
miniscences cf tbe early days of the
association were exceedingly well told
and enthusiastically received.

MltS. GOLDEN DEFIANT
Would Not Allow City Workmen to
Encroach on Her Husband'
Property.
A woman unaided held at bay and
finally put to ront a force of masons
and laborers who attempted yesterday
to bnild a sewer basin near her bus-
band's property on Railroad avenue,
between Luzerne and fourth streets.
When the workmen reaobed the
basin pit and were preparing to begin
tbe masonry work Mrs Uoluen or
dered them away, alleging that tbe
operations enoroacbed upou her bos
band's property. The force informed
tne woman that their work mutt be
performed nllly or willy. Mis. Golden
without further ado sprang tnto tbe
excavation and said it would be over
her dead body that any hireling of the
olty eouid enter. Arguments and per
snasive tactics only Increased Mrs.
Golclen'a aggressive attitude and
rather than resort to strong measures
tbe workmen gathered their tools and
came to the mnnloipal building for in
structions.
A policeman accompanied the men
bsck to Railroad avenue, and, after
admonishing the irate woman against
Interference under penalty of arrest,
the work went on uninterruptedly,
The circumstance created not a little
exoitement in the vioinity.

SCHIEVERA AFTER THE MASSES.
Ii Anxious to Gst to Work with the
Cltr's Poorsr Population.
Evangelist Scbievera again addressed
a large audience in the Gospel tent lsst
evening and made another spirited aa
dress, in which be so energetically at
tempts to preach direotly to the masses
This Is the evangelist's strong point,
and through his long and valuablo
unristmn-Uke life this characteristic
has always been predominant. A'
times be has been found praying in the
gutter with street arabs, drunken char
acters, dissolute wretches and tbe low
est senrn of onr large cities ; and seldom
does Ferdinand Scbievera pray wilb
mrm in vain. ' 1
He has fought against the prlooe of
darkness in his own strongholds and
against mighty odds, even risking not
only bis health, but his life, par
ticularly upon oce occasion when an
irate saloon keeper discharged a pistol
at him, whW!) atUmpt was luckily
thwarted by a parson standing by who
grasped the would-be-murderer's arm
and direoted the shot in another direc
tion. Many other soenes hive oc
curred which show tbe irresistible
fascination the dregs of humanity
have for bchievi-ra.
lie Is eztremxly anxious to carry this
work on iu our city and tiers is ample
scope for bis great talent and wonder
ful aptitude and It behooves tbe
cuarou.es of the elty generally, to give
him every opportunity possible of
reaching tbe people in question with a
view to use bis great abilities in per-
soadiug them to jin some of the
numerous churches of tbe city.
At tho Theaters.
The coincidental appearance of Louis
James and Marie Wainwright in rival
play houses last night lent nn
element of Intersel to tbe siz4
of both audiences not often
felt by the average theater goer. In
point of numbers, the audiences, as
nearly as eonld be judged by a casual
estimate, were pretty nearly equal. In
intellectual quality, It is possible that
tbe Warde-James performance drew
most heavily; bnt both audiences were
distinctively fashionable, and eaou
seemed to be well ploased.
At the Academy Miss Wainwright
presented what the play bill termed an
original play in four aots, entitled
'Daughters of hive. It was original
in treatment rather than in conception.
Tbe fundamental theme, that of twin
sisters, one good, the other errant, is
trite. Tbe originality of the play pre
sumably manifested itself in the climax
of tbe fonrtb act, when in an impossi
ble and preposterous scene only tbe
superb emotional acting of Miss Wain
wright preserves tbe play iroin a quick
transition into bathos and anti-oliusax.
In brief, Rose Wyeberly and Rood
Daintrv are twl ns. Ross is tbe good
sister, Rhode the bad. Rase, who lives
with a wbimsioal father, is betrothed
to Robert Hawthorne, to whom she
gives a portrait. Hawthorne is chaffed
by reprobate companions until ue
shows this portrait wblcb one fust com
panion, Lord Talbot, thinks is the pic
ture of Rhoda and applies to It offen
sive suggestions.
From this point to a break between
the lovers and a transition into tne
gay but artificial world of London
Bohemia is a mere step, e.isily tra
versed by playwrights and audiences.
Miss Wainwright assumes tbe charac
ters of both sitter, appearing one
moment as the pnre woman and tbe
next as tho bantering yet suffering
woman of tbe world. The play gives
only one other player a purt, that as
sumed by Nathaniel Httrtwig
as Robert Hawthorne, and be meets
requirements with a special strength
in tbe culminating scene in Rhode's
sbamber, where, in a transport of an
guish, bstlld love, passion and remorse,
tbe sinful sister chloroforms, but dos
not kill, her sister's future husband,
Iu these critical soenes Miss Wain-
wright's acting rose to grand and at
times tragic heights. But tbe whole
culmination of tbe play and maah of
its tenor are of a kind ridiculous wben
considered calmly and far from whole
some, despite frequent quotations of
Scripture and free demaud upon tbe
lachrymals.
t T t
Frederick Warde and Louis James
gave a presentation of ''Julius Craiar"
at the Frothinghara lost night that
evoked the warmest applause. At the
conclusion of the soene at tbe
tent of Brutus between himself
and Cassias, the curtain bad to be
raised several times, but tbe
audienoe would not be satisfied with
this, but compelled Mr. Warde and Mr.
James to come before the enrtain.
Gny Lindsay, Maro Anthony, also re
ceived nnstinted applanse after his
speech to the populace from tbe
r orum.
Mr. James' impersonation of the
honest, open obaracter of Urutns was
a splendid bit of acting and Mr. Warde
as the irritable and conspiring Cassias
displayed tbe finish aud naturalness
that needs not to tear passion to tatters
to evoke a olimax. Tbe changing ex
pression of bis face and twltotilng of
bis hands bespoke plainer tbau tbe
londest of words the contending pas
sions that transformed the man.
Ony Lindsay is a promising young
acter but bis work as Maro Anthony
last night was not entirely satisfactory,
He smiles too much and too often and
marred some of hi most effective scenes
by Introducing melodrasuatio effeots.
Tbe company tbrongbout was evenly
balanced and tbe performance will
rank as one of tbe best presentations of
Shakespearean tragedy seen In Scranton
of resent years.
Barney FergusonwlU be at tbe Acad
emy of Mnsio this evening in his new
play, "Duffy's Blunders. It is just
tbe kina or a aaruinm Mr. uerguson
needs to bring out in strong relief bis
capabilities as a fun maker. In bis
company are tbe Stewart sisters, who
made suob a aeoiaea bit in tbe "Jfass
ing Show."
t t t
One of tbe brightest theatrical hap
nenings this oity will know this season
will be tbe appearance on Wednesday
of Miss Pauline Hall, at tbe Aoid
emy of Mnsio surrounded by singers
of artistio merit, in an elabor
ate nrodnctiou of Paulton's ODeratio
comedy, "Doroas," A significant feature
of Miss Hall s supporting company is
the personal oharin and fitness of the
singers in whatever roies tuey assume,
It is said that in no opera that they
have appeared in Is this more agresably
evident than in "Dorcas." The opera
will be staged la that lavish manner so
characteristic of Miss Hall's manage
ment.

At the Aoademy of Mnsio on Thurs
day evening a new rselng drama
called "Tbe Great Brooklyn Handicap"

Philadalpbia Evening Star says the
following about tbe company; "As

tious performance. Miss Belle iiarrou

' Tbe Daziler," which will be teen
at tbe Academy of Musle Friday
night, is full of novelty this season
The play has not msrely been altered
and freshened up a bit, but has really
been re-written, and now has a story,

comedy. Tbe musio is also new and

DESPERATE FIGHT.
Bloodshed In a Quarrel Over Cards
at Archbald One Man Dead,
the Other Dying.
To the already long list of serious
crimes committed at the "Ridge,"
near Archbald, tbe red-handed crime
of pxrbtips a double murder was added
on Sunday morning.
Sunday morning a rough crowd of
Poles and Slavs that bad been drinking
all night in a place kept by a man
named Mayk Rustoski, engaged in an
altercation over a gams of cards. A
free fight followed.
Sylvester Rustoski, a brother of the
proprietor, marched to tbe ontside of
tne saloon, armed with a base ball bat.
Joseph Elucz was nearest to bim and
received a terrible blow on tbe head
from the blndgeon, fracturing the
skull. After Kluez fell from the force
of the blow Ruatoeki kept battering his
head and face uutil he bad reduced it
to almost a jlly.
1 be proprietor, cousin of tbe assail
ant of Klncz, was in possession of a
double barreled shot gun and he fired
one of the charges into the right side of
John Biddo.
The latter, unmindful of the load of
buckshot in bis side, kept raining a
fnsilade of stones against Rustowskl,
who fired the contents of the other
barrel at the right arm of Biddo. the
shot taking effect in the wrist and dis
arming bim.
Klucz and Hiddo having been com
pletely overpowered and left prostrate
on tbe ground in an unconscious con
dition, tbe Rastoskls went inside,
Their bouss was a wreck from the
shower of stones sent iu through tbe
windows and doors.
Friends carried the men to the saloon
of Andrew Degnatis, where Klucz died
a half hour later. Reports from there
received at an early hour this morning
stated that Biddo's life was rapidly
ebbing away and his death is hourly
expected.
Coroner. Kelly went to the soene yes
terday afternoon and empanelled the
following jury: Thomas Readington,
Andrew Howells, James Davis, James
Frame, John H. Sampson and John
Laive. The testimony of several wit
nesses who saw the murder was beard
aud the jury found a verdict that
Klncz came to bis death from a frao
tured skull, inflicted with a club in
the bauds of Sylvester Rustaskl.
Klucz is an unmarried man 30 years
of age and bad lived at tbe Ridge but
six months. Constable Morris, of
Peckville, arrested the murderer yes
terday morning at a o'clock in th
Sturges mines of the New York and
Scranton Coal company and brought
bim to the county lall.
Last evening Constable Doueher, of
Arehbald, arrived at th county prison
in charge of Mjk Rustoski. who in all
likelihood before tbe sun seta will also
be a murderer.
