He Thinks That lie Can Kill More Birds Than Clem Marsh, Jr. Since Clem Marsh, Jr., defeated Sim Daviea In the pigeon shooting match on New Year's day, his friends assort that he Is the best wing shot In Lackawanna county, nnd Harry I). Swnrts, of tho Green Ridge Gun club, dissents and has Issued a challenge to Marsh. Mr, Swarts not only thinks he Is easily able to kill more birds out of 100 than Marsh, but that there are at least two mem bers of the Gun club who can outclass either of them. He proposes that they each shoot at 100 plgcoiiR at the Scranton Ball park nnd charge an admission fee of SO cents All pigeons that are killed Inside the fence to count as dead birds, but If the pigeon Ilys against the boards or perches on the fence or the grand stand it must be counted a lost one Each man can load his own shells at home, and If It is found that he carries more than 1'4 ounces of shot In each shell he forfeits the match. Shooting will be under the old rule of two traps and twenty-one yards rise, or by agree ment the American association rules, 'using five unknown traps, thirty yards rise and fifty yards boundary, may be followed out. Mr. .Swarts thinks that after deduct ing the expenses of buying the birds, there will be a net prollt of $500, and that sum shall be donated to the Lacka wanna hospital. IIANCE FOR EMPLOYMENT.

IT IS WORTHY OF SUPPORT What Has Been Done by Pennsylvania Oral School. . .. , INTEREST SHOULD NOT LAG School lias llccomc Ono of the Foremost in tho Country-Durlns Lust Fiscal Ycur $42,488 Was I'niJ on Building Account. -' ., It is a curious fact that while the es tablishment of the Pennsylvania Oral school In this city primurllly caused widespread local comment and inter est, public attention has lagged during the luBt few years, and yet the Institu tion during the Interval has grown In property value, and works to be one of the foremost, schools of Its kind In this part of the United States, and ranks among the most extensive in the whole country. i Reports made by the president, ex Judge Alfred Hand, and the treasurer, Henry llelin, Jr., and the principal and matron of th'e school show that, for the first time in its history, it had comfort able and ample accommodations for ap plicants ut'd Is now as complete in con veniences and detail as modern ideas. money and assiduous effort can pro cure. There are three large stone build ings so arranged for dormitories, ad ministration and recitation with acces sory buildings for laundry and Bian nual training and comfort. Plans are being promulgated which, during the present year, will bring about increased proficiency among the scholars, facili tate their grading, separate, the sexes and continue the preservation of health, which thus far has been phe nomenally good. Its l-'iminciul Condition. Now that the buildings have been practically completed the ofllcers of the school will, during the year, have tihe urge grounds Improved and beautified, whk'h will still further enhance the real estate value of the property, worth considerable sum above the original cost. 1 Mr. Belin, the treasurer, recently sub mitted a report which shows a financial result extremely gratifying to those immediately interested in the school. The school year 1893-9-1, Which ended last summer; began with a balance of $3,uSl, which,- wit'h appropriations, an nual dues and a loan of $L',000 from the Third National bank, makes the total receipts $5G,G33. After the year's ex penditures there was left a net balance of $4(16. The principal Items of expense were $0,073 -for salaries, $5,5SS for pro visions, clothing and other main tenance details, and $I2,48S paid on old and recent building accounts. Liabili ties are standing fur $20,000 in mort gage bonds, and $2,000 in bills payable. Excerpts from the report of the prin cipal are as follows: The number of pupils enrolled for the year was iifty two, all that could be admitted, but the additional room tihis year (1S94-95) will make crowding unnecessary. Notwith standing Che prevalence of measles and scarlet fever in the city, but only one serious case of measles developed In the school. While other studies were not neglected, the chief aim was to give prominence to language. The help of the legislature will be needed to make alterations In the administration build ing and laundry.

It is probable 'that a State Bar asso ciation will be organized at Harrlsburg on Jan. 1G, when lawyers from all over the state will hold a convention In the supreme court room. The general call was sent out In the form of a circular, which was promptly responded to from all parts of tho state. The circular called for a convention at Harrlsburg for the purpose of organizing a Penn sylvanta State Bar association, based upon the reasoning that "such an asso ciation can exert a healthy inlluence upon legislation toy suggesting useful laws, by assisting In the defeat of Ill considered and dangerous bills, and by aiding to mould into better shape meas ures good In substance but bad In form Again lit Is part of the work of a bar association to bring together the mem bers of the -bar from all seotlons of the atate for the purposes of social Inter course, and for the discussion of ques tions of Interest to the profession and to the communMy In general." "It was thought," said Edward P. Al- linson, an orgaji-lzer of -the movement, "to make It distinctly an Issue of the bar, though -we trntft-THe assurance of judicial assistance. Judges will be elect ed -honorary 'members with privileges of the floor, 'and it Is expected that Judge Symonton, of Dauphin, will pre side at the first -meeting In Harrlsburg, Only those questions oMeglrtatlon will dp nanaira mai coma immeniaieiy un der the head ftf law." Attorney Gen eral W. U. Hensel has been mentioned as president of tho association, though that is a matter still undecided. CITY GOVERNMENT. M.J. GllbrUty'ji Pint Will Be Staged In an i-.xeoiicm jnunner. -"City Government" Is' the title of new drama written by M. J. Gllbrlde, author of "Without a Name," "A Start Ing Point,"' "How 'We ' Celebrate Fourth," etc. , The new play deals with the corruption In city government, and Is In four, acts, each replete with force ful situation and clean drawn ell- maxes. In the second act a minature of the Kim Park church will be used. Another great feature of the show will be the chimes, with the exact tone of the ones used at present .in the Kim Park church. One of the most realis tic engines that has ever been -used on an Amerlcun Btage Is now being pre pared and will be used in the drama, which will be presented at the Academy March 18 and 19. IX LOCAL THEATERS. De Koven and Smith's ever popular opera, "Robin Hood," will be sung at the Academy of Music tonight by that excellent musical organization, the "Robin Hood" Opera company. To morrow night the same company will sing "The Knickerbockers," written by De Koven and Smith as a companion piece to "Robin Hood." It treats in a quaintly humorous fnshion of the early days of the Dutch colonists of New York city or New Amsterdam, as it was then called, and introduces among other entertaining characters William the Testy, one of the four historical governors, and Antony Van Corlear, the governor s trumpeter, a real per sonage treated by Washington Irving in his Knickerbocker history. The story Is one of romance and grows out of the squabbles of tho Dutch with the New England Puritans. The music is in Mr. De Koven's very best vein, and Is said by many to surpass in melodious qualities "Robin Hood." !l II II The attraotion at the Frothingham on next Tuesday and Wednesday Is Whallen ft Murtell's "South Before the War." There are at least seventy- five people In the company, and the show In its entirety is one of the best presentatlonsof life on a plantation giv en In this city for years. The scenes and r.cldents are laid In the colored quar tors of a plantation during the slavery days. While the principal characters are assumed by white people, realism Is secured by the aid of fifty colored jubl- ee singers and dancers, sveral yokes of oxen and a trick donkey. There will be a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. I! II II This afternoon the Sefton Comic Opera and Vaudeville company will begin a three days engagement at Davis' theater, presenting "China vs Japan," and "The Girl Was Left Be hind. The Company Is made up of twenty first-class artists. The Boston Herald says of the company: "No bet ter show has been given at the Lyceum theater this season than the current attraction, the huge bill offered by Sefton's Comic Opera and Vaudeville company. The entertainment they give Is brilliant and just suited to the tastes of those in search of an ennui dispeller. High among the rest of the vaudevlllers Is Sefton, with his 'same old walk,' which pleased everybody." II II II Katie Emmett will apear in her ro mantic Irish drama, "Klllarney," at the Frothingham in February. The production is one of the handsomest ever seen here. New scenery has been provided to replace the effects that were partially destroyed In the recent Omaha fire, and a strong cast has been provided. SALVATORE IS CERTAIN. Says He Saw llosclilno l ire the Shot That kil led Francesco Conforti at Duntuorc on Nov 1 1 . Before Alderman Wright, of the Ninth ward, Saturday -morning Guls seppe Boschino, the Italian, was ar raigned, charged on the oath of County Detective Shea with the murder of Francesco Conforti at Bunker Hill, Dunmore, on Sunday evening, Nov. 11. A week after the murder Boschino was apprehended at Forest City and since then he has been confined in the county jail. The grand jury, which meets to day, will pass upon the crime nnd ren der a bill. For that reason the mur derer was brought to the alderman's office so that he could be committed according to law, after the testimony of witnesses were heard. District Attorney John R. Jones con ducted tho examination on the part of the commonwealth and ex-Judge Ward was for the defendant. An Italian named Morislnl was Interpreter. Cor oner J. A. Kelley was the first witness called. He swore that the wound he found on Conforti's body penetrated the left cavity of the heart nnd passed through the left lung. It was a fatal wound and was the cause of Conforti's death. Rocco Salvatore was the next witness. He was arrested as an acces sory to the murder and subsequently released, there being no evidence to war rant his detention, but was held in $1,000 to appear ns a witness. He swore thnt on tho evening of the murder while on his way home he met Conforti, the murdered man, in the company of Boschino and Antonio Imbriato. He met them near the bridge over the railroad tracks at Bunker Hill. Tho men looked to be In bad temper and Salvatore asked Conforti what the trouble was. The reply was that Boschino had threatened to kill him without any reason for such threats. The witness stepped up to Boschino and asked why he had made such a threat. Boschino jerked his hand away and as he did a razor dropped to the ground. Boschino akulked away and the witness Baw him hide behind a clump of laurel bushes. . Conforti walked on and when he got to the spot opposite to where Boschino was seen to hide, the witness heard a shot and Conforti fell to the ground with an agonizing exclamation. Tho witness was positive that he recognized Boschino ns the one who fired the shot. Alderman Wright then made out a committment and the ac cused man was taken hack to the county jail to await the action of the grand Jury.

Mrs. Sarah Carey was the first offender to be brought before him, she being convicted of keeping an Im moral house and also of fornlcaition. Sentence iln the latter case had already been pronounced. An offense of that nurture Is not jallable and can not be punished beyond a fine of $100. That was the sentence of the court.

For assaulting old John J. Kleeman, of Petersburg, 'he was sentenced to pay a fine of $5, the costs 'of prosecution, and spend three months In the county jail. Attorney J. Elliot Ross moved to ar rest Judgment In the sentence of the court on Ehrgood because the defend ant's wife -was prosecutrix and the law docs not allow a Ihusband or wife to testify against each other dn such pro ceedings. Court decided on the argu ment of Dial-riot Attorney Kelly that It was too late 'to make such an objection after a verdict had been reached and then -Imposed the aforementioned sen tence.
