THEIR LOSSjni CAIN Seranton's Opportunity to Profit by Kales' bad Fortune. MR. TORBETTS PROPOSITION Ills $20,000 Subscription Betokens Ills Confidence in a ScrantonTln Plate Mill-Some Business Men Ready to Subscribe. The Scranton board of trade Is at present making determined efforts to establish a tin plate Industry in this city, but it Is an open secret that un less arrangements can be made in a few days. Mr. Torbett, the representa tive of the llrni, will withdraw his proposition and subscription of $20,000. In more than one respect, it is essential that satisfactory and conclusive ar rangements should be arrived at dur ing the present week. Mr. Torbett has In view a proposal to locate extensive mills In Gus City, Ind., unless he is sutislled tlmt substantial assistance can be Becured In this city and, no doubt, he recognizes the Important fact that the tide of expert men in the busi ness Ifr already How log to western districts, while Scrunton is losing tlw great opportunity of securing this kind of skilled labor. In consequence of the growth of the tin plate manufacturing business In this country jtluomy reports are continually being received from the tin plate cen ters of South Wales, and day after day brings forth notices of further stop pages. In the Llunelly district the trade for the time being is practically para lyzed and prices have dwindled down to a very low ebb, and orders are aim st conspicuous by their absence. J. H. Ttvgunlntf. proprietor of the Morfa tin plate and steel workB, Llannelly, has made a public statement that the result of keeping his establishment going of late has been the loss of about $0,000 a month and in the face of this heavy burden he had heclded to shut down and cease operations for an indellnlte period. Already 1.200 of his workmen are out of employment. Ilus Cuuscd Poverty. The pinch of poverty is being felt throughout South Wales, especially In the neighborhood of the works men tioned, and what will eventually be come of the people when the contracts at the remaining1 works are completed and the doors closed Is ditllcult to say. The most efficient tin plate workers, who have laid by a substantial amount of their savings, are now flocking to the United States, where their services are In demand. J. H. Rogers, of (.as City. Ind., has been spending a few weeks In the neighborhood of Llannelly and has had conferences with some of the men, with a view to engaging their services. Leading members of the board of trade have urged that the tin plate Industry Is at present the premier In dustry of the country, and If Scranton Is to secure a share of the benefits, the present is the opportune time to assert her claim, Inasmuch as the large num ber of mills which are being erected throughout the country may, ere long, monopolize the whole trade. Once set tled In Scranton, there Is no doubt whatever but that with her great nat ural advantages and easy transporta tion facilities, this city could more than hold her own In the competition. Another Strom; Argument. Another strong argument is produced that the tin plate Industry will, besides furnishing a demand for the product of the steel mills, be a means of devel oping mills for all finished tin articles and ware, the demand for which would, practically, be illimitable. No argument, therefore, should be necessary to Impress upon the capital ists of the city the Importance of im mediate action In securing the location of this Industry In Scranton. The country Is at present witnessing the building up of this great Industry, which is new in the sense that It monopolizes the trade of other coun tries, a"d the opinion of the board of trade itlcers may well be accepted In fjta ng that It will be one of the best ventures for the future of this growing city. IN LOCAL THEATERS. James J. Corbett and company will appear at the Academy of Music this evening In "Gentleman Jack." The last of the play takes place In the arena of the Olympic club and is one of the most interesting points In the play. In this contest Mr. Corbett spars three rounds with Steve O'Donnell. There will be a number of specialties intro duced in the roof garden scene which will add to the entertainment. I! H II It is claimed for Milton Nobles' come dy, "For Revenue Only," which will be seen at the Academy of Music Thursday evening, that the author has constructed a comedy that amuses and entertains without resorting to the well-worn, mistaken identity expedient. If this is true, It should serve as an object lesson to native play writings. Mr. Nfjles' play Is said to contain r ana pungent lines, ana me oked by what the author by what the author does. II II II y's minstrels, which will Academy on Friday gusta Chronicle says: last night was fairly o see the performance of HI. Henry's minstrels, and there was not one of the vast audience but was pleased. Of the thirty members of the company, every one are artists. There has been no minstrels in Augusta in years that could touch It. The voices were excellent and the specialties great. There was not on old Joke, not an an cient nag In fact it was a minstrel show far better than It claims to be." II II II Hoyt's "A Hunch of Keys," polished up to date, Will be presented by the Sparks company at the Academy of Music on Saturday evening. The piece Is well known to the theater-going pub lic, and nearly everyone has either seen or heard of "A Hunch of Keys," the funniest of all comedies, which abounds in the most ridiculous situations, witty Baylngs and music of the kind that re ceives four or five encores. The com pany consists of mostly all new talent this season and Includes Ada Bothner, Delle Jackson, Klttio Wolfe, Helen Trenvllle, Helle Travers, Harry P. Clarke, Harry Fay, It. J. Riley, Wllj lam Smith, and Charles W. Howser. There Is an abundance of bright music and songs, pretty costumes and appro priate stage settings, etc. . II II II Of the Fay Foster Burlesque com pany, which ' will be seen at Davis' Thursday, Friday and Saturday after- noorfc and evenings, the Providence says: "The performance of the iter Burlesque conipany at the ister theater la one that Is elng, the variety bill being one st of the season. A skit called a Yacht" is very entertaining. "T.rha are tt I savs, and ifl T I Of HI. II ! onnear a' I I The absurdities are numerous, and sev eral good specialties are introduced, the best being .the dance of the three Mur vels and a representation of life on the Bowery, In which the Bowery boys and girls and the police have a spirited en counter." A burlesque, "The Tender loin Chappies," closes the programme. II II II M. H. Burgunder, manager of the Grand Opera house In Wilkes-Barre and the Academy of Music In this city, has leased Music hall at Wilkes-Barre. He will continue to run it as a popular priced house. WILKES-BARRE'S KIRMESS. It Was Reproduced at the rrothlngbom Last Night. The Wilkes-Barre Klrmess was given at the Frothlngham last night before an audience of about 300 personB. There is more variety In it than there was in the Scranton Klrmess, songs, dances and musical selections being In troduced. Many of the solo dances were rendered In an excellent manner. As a Klrmess pure and simple the Wilkes-Barre article is not up to the Btundard set by Scranton in Its re cent effort In that direction. The dances were not so pretty nor were they given with the care and precision that marked the work of the Scranton duncers. One of the pretty and unique numbers given by the Wllkes-Bnrreans last night was the Living Whist. The Gyp sy dunce was also well received and evoked much applause. BOARD OF CHARITIES. The Business Transacted at Its Meeting l ust Night. A regular meeeting of the Board of Associated Charities was held lost evening, E. J. Lynett presiding. J. It. Cohen reported that with M. J. Kelly he had waited upon the members of the poor board with regard to arranging for the payment of an usslstant for Mrs. Duggan, but as the poor board was advised by their attorney that it was doubtful If they could legally ap propriate any money for the purpose no further uctlon was taken In the matter. A general discussion was held as to the assistance given by Mrs. Pettlgrew In making up the records, and as her engagement expired last evening, it was decided to refer the question of continuing her services to complete the work to a committee comprising the otliciuls of the board. Mrs. J. K. Cohen reported on behalf of the Ladles' auxiliury that the sub scriptions were being paid up in a satis factory manner. The thanks of the board were tendered to 'Mrs. Cohen and the ladles who had assisted In the col lection. E. J. Lynett, chalrmaln of the com mittee on legislation, reported that sev eral bills were before the legislature which would prove of Interest to the members of the board, the principal one being the bill which. If passed, would empower every county of over 100,000 population to erect workhouses to furnish employment for poor and needy persons. Mrs. Duggan reported that she had visited thirty-eight per sons during the past two weeks, twen-ey-seven cases being worthy, and eleven being deemed unworthy. Trans portation had been afforded to six ap plicants; employment had been found for six: two cases had been sent to the hospital, and two persons had been found permanent positions. Rev. Rogers Israel warned the mem bers as to u young man who was vend ing an ides of embroidery, etc., and had approached him and others with a view to entering the ministry. He was armed with a pile of letters, but none of an original nature or bearing upon ills character. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. An assessment has been Issued upon the death of George Fait for the sum of Jl.OuO. The limit expires on April 3. Shop hours on the Erie and Western railroad were yesterday reduced from eight to seven hours per day. Blacksmith Van Busklrk, of the car shops, is at the .Moses Taylor hospital sufiering from a dropsical attack. A brakeman on the Pennsylvania rail road has applied for a patent on a rail road switch that can be operated by the engineer from the cab while the train is moving at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. The switch will also be closed after the train has passed. David Clark, who has been master mechanic of the Hazleton shops of the Lehigh Valley company, has resigned his position after forty years of ser vice. Mr. Clark has been a most capa ble official and enjoyed the confidence of the company and employes. He will be succeeded by Mr. Wallls, formerly of the Norfolk and Western railroad. Employes of the Erie and Western railroad have been accused of loaning or selling the mileage books Issued to them at reduced rates. As the books are not transferable and the agreement has been violated to an alarming extent, the ofllclals of the company have issued a notice warning employes that In the event of a future offense they will be promptly and permanently dismissed from the company's service. If rumor be correct, the Vanderbllts are Interested in the construction anJ operation of another trunk line to Chi cago. They control, at prpsent, two lines from New York to Buffalo and three from that city to Chicago. For a number of years the Vanderbllts have been endeavoring to extend their lines to Pittsburg, and not long ago they at tempted to build the South Pennsylva nia to Pittsburg parallel to the Penn sylvania Central, when the latter road retaliated by constructing the West Shore, paralleling the New York Cen tra). The contest was settled by each road selling out the new lines to the other. Soon afterward the Vanderbllt3 endeavored to reach Pittsburg via the Beech Creek railroad In connection with the Rending, but were again foiled by the Pennsylvania. The present Inten tion Is for the Pittsburg and Eastern to build their line from a connection with the Beech Creek road at Mahaffy, 129 miles west of Wllllnmsport, to Pitts burg, a distance of about 150 miles, thus securing a continuous track from Phila delphia or New York to PlttBburg.

Doyle lecture on total abstinence last night. The edifice was not able to accommodate one perBon more, and the Intense Interest mnnlfested in the elo quence of Father Doyle spoke well for the feelings of generous welcome that prevailed. Father Doyle will lecture at St. Jo seph's churqh, Mlnooka, this evening, and tomorrow night at St. Patrick's church on the West Side.

Judge William Henry DeWItt Is one of the most prominent lawyers nnd judges In East Tennessee. He Is a lead ing member of the Southern Methodist church in Chattanooga. In legal busi ness and social circles he stands high, und his statements, says the Chatta nooga Press, are regarded of special weight because of his venerable char acter, he being now 67 years old. He has held several prominent posi tions in a legislative and Judicial ca pacity, having served us a member of the Southern congress at Richmond during the war, and since that time as Judge of the chancery court, one of the highest offices In Judicial prac tice next to the supreme court. He was admitted to the bar in IS'iO. In 1855 he was elected to the state legis lature, but declined a re-election. After his removal to East Tennessee he was uppointed special chancellor by Governor Taylor, and filled the office for two years. He has successfully practiced before the supreme court of the United States for years. In recent years, owing to the heavy work he has performed, he has been subject to nervousness, and his atten tion has been called at various times, both by friends and physicians, to the need of fortifying himself against phy sical collapse. His attention was called to Pal lie's celery compound as a vitaliz ing force. He sought and obtained this GERMAN HARVEST DANCERS. Entcrtuincd Last Night by Mrs. Charles Tropp, One of the Chnpcioncs.

Overhearing his conversation, a friend asked him to write down his experi ence for the use of others so afflicted. In response he wrote as follows: "Dear Sir In obedience to your re quest, I state some of my personal knowledge of tho value of Pulne's cel ery compound as a medical remedy for certain afflictions and diseases, as follows, namely: "Judging from my own experience, it is a lirst-class "remedy to restore the nervous system when broken down or Impaired from over-work of mind or body, revivifying the energies. It strengthens the digestive powers and cures costiveness; truly It Is a great nerve tonic, a good alterative, a splen did diuretic.
