IT WAS A CIRCO-COMEDY.
That's Whut Xeliio Mellenry I'-roJuecd at
the Academy of Music.
"A Night nt the Circus," which Is
labelled on the hou3L bill us a "elrco
comedy," was produced at the Academy
of Music last night by Nellie Mellenry
and company.
It Is n combination of horse play nnd
very ordinary specialties with the
somewhat clever Miss Mellenry as the
central figure. The fair sized audience
appeared to enjoy the performance and
Miss Mellenry Is probably fulfilling her
mission of the boards if she provides a
form of amusement In "A Night at tho
Circus" that Is acceptable to a portion
of the theater-goers of the country.
As long as there is a demand for such
alleged comedy managers will continue
to furnish It to the exclusion of attrac
tions that possess real merits, nnd it is
after all, perhaps the fault of the dear
public that such performances Just now
occupy such a conspicuous place In the
theatrical world.
TO STL'DY AT NIGHT.

MEETING DNJOUTH SIDE
Eloquent Addresses by Attorneys Vos
biirjj and G. ntson.
MANY DEMOCRATS I'KESEXT
Tlio Reception Accorded to Candidates
VauRlian and Conncll Forcciuts a nig
Republican Vote hi the Twentieth
Ward-Much laithuslustn.
Far a ward that has stood fast to tho
pillar of Democracy and rendered such
majorities in the past, the Twentieth
ward turned out a surprisingly large
host of citizens last night to henr the
Issues of the campaign discussed by
eloquent Republican speakers. The
Bpeakers were met by u delegation of
Republicans of tho ward and escorted
to Curcoran's hull on Cedar avenue.
The drum corps of Camp 430, Patriotic
Order, Hons of America, marched ahead
of the procession and discoursed music.
At the hall the crowd filled the room
und good order was maintained.
Charles U. Slmrell, of lirook street,
was chosen chairman and Introduced aa
tho first speaker Attorney A. A. Vos-
burg, who said in beginning that ho did
not propose to start out with an abuse
of the Democratic party; he Just wanted
to take the Democrats to task for the
misery nnd poor times Involved from
what has bean done In tho fulfillment of
Its platform. When It came Into power
It made many promises and, the
speaker said, he would nsk the people
of the South Side to answer bow nmg'
nlflcently theso promises had boon iuV
filled. The Idle mills are a testimony of
the promises made and fulfilled.
The speaker branched off to a discus
slon of tho tariff and quoted the results
of elections all over the country, how
the Republican party, the party of pro
tection, had reaped enormous majori
ties wherever an election has been held
Each election has been a rebuke of the
party that proposes by Its Intentions of
tariff smushlng to cripple industries
worse than they now are and to crush
tho old soldiers to a degree almost as
bad as the subjection of the slaves be
fore the war.
Mr. Vosburg closed with an earnest
appeal for each candidate, particularly
for Congressman Scranton, and Candi
dates Vauirhan and Connell. The an
nouncement of their names was
ceived with great cheering.
Attorney Watson's Remarks.
Attorney tl. M. Watson was the next
speaker. Ills first remarks captured
the attention of the audience. He said
he was going to tell them of steel mills
(Yum a niiicticnl standpoint, ns h
worked as a day laborer nt the South
works when it was being built, and had
since studied the theoretical knowledge
of the Industry.
He verv lucidly explained to the
audience the difference between an In
dustry protected from competition from
English mills and tho low prices that
most prevail when American mills
have to contend against the products
of foreign manufacture where work
men are able to earn only mere pit
tances as wages.
He recounted tho epochs In tho his
torv of the United States when protec
tlve tariff nnd free trade alternately
prevailed. Beginning with the first
protective measure passed In James
Madison's administration the speaker
said that every period that had been
controlled by a high tariff has been re
corded as one of prosperity, while an
opposite condition is reported when the
country was under free trade laws.
The plank In tho Democratic platform
that favors a return of state banks was
ruthlessly handled by Mr. Watson. He
ridiculed the presumption that the poor
man will be benefited by a return of
thnt law. When it was in force, ho
said, a man could have in his pocket a
few hundred dollars worth of bills of
currency and the failure of the bank on
which the notes were drawn meant
that tho money was absolutely worth
less. The present purchasing power of
a dollar Is at par, although the D"m
ocratlc campaign orators cry that
npver before has the quality of a silver
dollar depreciated to such a low mark,
still the stamp of tho national govern
mcnt Is on that dollar and It Is good
for tho full value of Its face.
The very eloquent and convincing re
marks of Mr. Watson concluded with
special mention of candidates Vaughun
and Connell and a good word for the
others on tho ticket.
.Mr. litillcntino of New York.
Attorney Clarence Ballentlne, of New
York, was tho next speaker. Ho pos
sesses an eloquent flow of language
but excused himself from any extend
speech. He made a ringing address In
support of protection and besought all
workingmon to support the Republican
party as the champion of that policy.
Candidate J. C. Vnughan was called
upon from the audience for a sncech
and In response said that he hnd not
come prepared, but would say a few
words. He said that he would promise
nil wno javoreu nun with their suf
frages to support, if elected, any and
nil mus lor me oenetit or the communl
ty he represented and the laboring
mnn.
The drum corps played a stirring se
lection nnd the meeting ended with
cneers for the Republican cnndldalcs
IX LOCAL THEATERS.
Tim Murphy and Comedians Rich
ards and Canfleld will present "Lorn
Ktie'" at the Academy of Music thl
evening. "Lem Kettle'" Is n consistent
comedy, describing rural life in Dela
ware county, this state. Its charac
ters are said to be easily recognized
types, the episodes mirthful and whole
some, while threndod through It all Is
a tender little love story.
II II II
There Is no uetor thnt we know o
who has such a decidedly domestic fol
lowing as has Charles T. Ellis, th
sweet-volcetl German comedian. wh
comes to the Academy on Friday even
mg. in raci, ins principal patrons are
noticed to be families people of dome
tic temperaments. His plays are so dif
ferent from the others, bo clean and
wholesome, bo free from vulgarity, they
are also a pleasure to see. Good, clean
moral plays are what the public want
now-a-days, not stuff that Is served up
In the name of drama or comedy, and
wnicn is vulgar and insipid.
II II ll
The Frothlngham will resound agal
Saturday afternoon and evening with
the soul-stlrrlng strains of Innes fa
mous New York band which created
such a sensation here a few weeks ago,
"War nnd Peace" will be produced

of the programme will be entirely
changed from wl)nt was given before,
excepting the "Trip to the World
Fair," which was so pleasing to all
The same glorious vocal quartette will
participate, and It may bo remarked
that Miss Miner, tne pleasing soprano,
Is adding much to her laurels every
where. At Detroit recently she created
a genuine sensation, bulng repeatedly
re-called and cheered with well-de
served bravos. "War and Pence" has
met with the same grand sensational
reception everywhere.
II II II
Hronson Howard's great comedy.
"Young Mrs. Wlnthrop," will bo seen
at the Academy of Music Saturday
evening. For eight months this ex
plicit comedy delighted New York at
the Madison Bqunre theater. Then It

ton, Philadelphia and Chicago. This
season it is being given an elaborate
production nnd will be tnken all over
tho United States from Mnlne to Cali

MR. I INCH'S PROPOSITION.
City Solicitor Torrcy Will Call Councils'
Attention to It again.
Viewers C. F. Van Nort, John Caw
ley and Anthony Baumnn yesterday
met in tho arbitration room of the court
house to henr testimony concerning the
damage that will be done to the prop
erty of the I. A. Finch company by tho
grading of the Swetland street ap
proach to tho proposed Linden street
bridge.
The Finch compnny was represented
by ex-Judge H. A. Knapp and the city
by City Solicitor Torrey. The matter
at Issue was discussed for some tlmo
by the viewers, Mr. Finch and the at
torneys, but no testimony was tnken.
Some time ago Mr. Finch made a pro
position to tho city in which he set
forth that the amount that his com
pany would take In compensation for
the lnnd that will be taken from It by
the opening of Swetland street.
This proposition was never acted
upon by councils. City Solicitor Torrey
said that he would bring tho mntter to
tho attention of councils again, nnd
said he felt convinced that It would
take action of some kind on tho proposl
tlon. If the city decided to accept tho
offer then the proceedings before the
viewers would be unnecessary.
It was therefore decided to continue
the hearing for three weeks to give
Mr. Torrey an opportunity to call the
attention of councils to the oner.

Ail journcd Inquest on Death of Joseph
Xootian Held Last Xijjht.
CROSS EVIDENCE WAS GIVEN
Testimony Against tho Scranton Gas and
Wacr Compuny and Against Per
guson it Roouey, tho Contractors.
Inquest Occupied Two Hours.
The adjourned Inquest upon the death
of Joseph Noonan was held at the court
house last evening. Noonun, who re
sided 011 Third street, Bellevue, met his
death on Saturday while working In a
trench on Mineral street, caused by
the falling In of the side, which was
of a sandy nature. The deceased was
burled alive, as tho debris could not be
removed In tlmo to rescue him.
Coroner Kelly presided and tho fol
lowing acted as the Jury: J. J. Burke,
F. O'Hara, James A, Riley, C. E.
Potter. Gi'orge Boerlg and George G.
Reed. Major Everett Warren appeared
for the Scranton Gas and Water com
pany and Colonel F. J. Fltzslminon.i
appeared fur the" contractors, Fergu
son & Hooney, who employed Noonun.
A large number of witnesses were
called who assisted In removing tho
body, but were not present at the tlm
of the accident. Peter F. Junes, who
was upon the scene before the accident,
ania ne was of the 00 nlon thnt tlx.
timbering to keep tho sand In Its place
was not sufficiently strong. Michael
Noonun, brother, and John Noonan,
futher of the deceased, gave evidence
)f insufficient timbering, but were un
able to testify as to the casuallty. Ed
ward Boyle and P. Rooney gave evi
dence of Ihe width of the timber cm-
ployed and as to their working in tho
trench.
How .McGran F.scupeJ.
John McGran said lie was working nt
the time in tho trench near Noonan and
suspected something was wrung and
ran out; Noonun tried to run the other
way, but was caught by the fulling
sand. Ho could not account fur the ac
cident.
Samuel George said he was worklnor
at the time nnd described the accident
and recollected seeing the water rush
ing and carrying the sand Into the
trench. Dennis Roach, an Inspector In
the employ of the citv. said ho was
on the opposite side of the trench when
the .accident occurred and saw the
rush of water and the whole bank
"flopped over." Cross-examined by
Major Warren, he said the water-pip;
was not exposed. The timbering was
done as the woik progressed ami was
started when the trench was four or
live feet deep. Cross-examined by Cul
lonol FitrwImmoiiH, ho said the timber
ing was sulllclently strong for the pur
pose, nnd would have been "ull light" If
the water pipe had not burst.
John ilecann swotte that It was
the worst hole he had ever
"put his head Into" and the timbering
was not safe, neither had the bracing
been properly done. Cross-examined
by Colonel Fitzslmmons, ho admitted
had been discharged a few days be
fore the accident. Peter Mulligan, a
contractor, was of opinion that the tim
bering was perfect, while Patrick Mul
len, nil employe of the Gas and Water
company, declared that the timbers
were not driven to the bottom of the
trench and that this was the cause of
the accident. In reply to Colonel Fltz
slmmons, he explained that ho was
closing the hydrants nt the time, but
this would not be sufficient to account
for the bursting of the pipe.
Would Not Hurst the .Main.
Superintendent Reeves, of the Ga3 and
and Water company, gave evidence to
prove that the closing of the hydrant
would not account for tho bursting of
the company's main. The Jury consid
ered the evidence for a considerable
time, but were unable to agree on a ver
