SCIENCE OF MANLY ART
Tko Fine Exhibitions Given at Ex
celsior Club Room.
GIVEN BEFORE 1XY1TED GUESTS
John Tiglic and Antony Gordon, Who Will
I nter the National Tournament Next
Week, Showed Their Sklll-lloth
Are in the Pink of Condition.
In response to an Invitation extended
by Secretary John J. Collins, of the Ex
celsior Athletlo club, about fifty gen
tlemen were present at the rooms of the
club in Boston Store hall lust night
and were treated to two remarkable ex
hibitions of the art of self defense. The
club decided to Invite Its friends and
present an object lesson In boxing, In
which John Tlghe and Anthony Gor
don took part. These two belong to the
Viii und 125-pouiid classes respectively,
and In ull the tournaments the club has
held In this city they huve never been
beaten.
They have trained nssiduously for
three mouths past and ure In the pink
of condition to enter the natloiiul tour
nament of the Amateur Athletic union
of the I'nlted States, which will be held
next Week ut Allegheny City, near
Pittsburg. It was to show the public ,
that Tighe und Gordon ure In proper
condition that the exhibition wus given.
At x.::u ttirdon gave un exhibition of
punching the leather which drew ap
plause from the spectators. After
warming up he bared himself for a
3-round "go" of two-minutes each with
Cuptuln P. J. Durkln, the Instructor of
the club. Thomas McGouldrlck was
timekeeper.
Gordon's Agility.
In the three rounds some lively fight
ing was done and while it was u friend
ly contest, both men came out of the
fray with marks upon them. The most
imtuble feature of the contest was Gor
don's suppleness. He was extremely
clever In avoiding vicious swings and
hiii long arms kept going with the regu
larity of clock work. At the end of
.the third round his wind wus us good
as when he started. He has the record
of being first mun to whip Joe Willi
scheck, of Philadelphia; before that he
put to sleep Tom Williams, of Brooklyn,
and Peter Haran, of New York.
Tlghe guve an account of himself
next, sparring with James McGould
rlck. It would be hard to find a more
physically perfect young man. He Is
as straight as an arrow and the healthy
muscular tissue of his body Indicates
quickness and strength. His most
famous battle was two years ago at
the Excelsior club tourament In Music
hall. Louis Jester, of Wilkes-Burre,
brought a savage chnp whom he styled
Reddy Connolly, up from Wllkes-Barre
and entered him In the tournament.
Tighe was pitted against him and
Jester went around town with glowing
accounts of his man, telling how quick
ly Tighe would become vanquished.
But It did not eventuate that way.
Tlghe whipped Connolly so artistically
and completely that the uudlence
almoBt went wild. Tlghe fought a
year ago with Edward Dempsey, of
Philadelphia, and knocked him out
without half trying.
The exhibition which both men gave
last night convinced the spectators that
the two who well go to represent the
Excelsior club at Allegheny next week
will sustain Scranton's reutation In the
science of manly art.
Preparing for tho Uattle.
After the exhibition lust night the
two athletes underwent the final part
of their training. They will rest until
Monday and leave at 9:25 a. m. Monday
via Delaware and Hudson rlalroad
from this city for Pittsburg.
They will be accompanied by James
McGouldrlck. The preliminary battles
will be fought on Tuesday and Wednes
day nights, and the finals on Friday
night.
STIRRED THINGS UP.
Runaway on Lackawanna Avenue Causes
Considerable Damage.
A team of horses attached to a heavy
wagon, owned by Henry Buttln & Co.,
were frightened near the Lackawanna
freight house yesterday afternoon and
bolted across the yurd Into Lacknwan
na avenue, and came Into collision with
a buggy near the Railroad association
rooms. The buggy, however, fared bet
ter than the mail box at the corner of
Franklin avenue, which was smnshed
and the letters scattered broudcast over
the street.
Continuing their gallop the team ran
over the sidewalk near Samter Bros.,
forcing the heavy stepping-stone from
the sidewalk. Here they collided with
another buggy, which was soon reduced
to a wreck, the driver fortunately es
caping In time to avoid a serious acci
dent. Neur tho Coyne House, the teum
came In contuct with a telegraph pole,
which put an end to their lively run,

All Indications point to a rush of

classes as soon ns next Beason opens,
und the fact thut the membership of
the association Is now 1171 agulnst 750

LUCKY HUGH HOWELL. -
n .Mado Bnbitantlal Impression ail
' . Mrs. Mcl'orn, of Omaha.
A search is being made by John II.
McFern, of Omaha, Neb,, for a Hugh
Howell, supposed to be living In this
city. Howell, formerly resided at Pen
Argyl and Mr. McFern Is anxious to
inform' him that $3,000 has been depos
ited in a local bank by his aunt, Mrs.
Mary McFern, of Omaha, and is to be
paid to Mr. Howell, one year after her
death.
It appears that Mrs. McFern was
spending the summer recently at tho
Delaware Water Gap, and met Mr.
Howell, who was a guest at the same
hotel, who very favorably Impressed
Mrs. McFern by his refined conversa
tion and intellectual abilities. Mr.
Howell, who at the time was a travel
ing salesmnn, deplored his lnublllty to
enter the ministry owing to luck of
funds. His friend immediately made a
generous offer of assistance which ho
modestly refused to accept, and n few
days later she left for her home In
Omaha. Such an Impression had, how
ever, been made upon her that she re
solved to deposit $3,000 In the bunk for
the purpose mentioned. Mrs. McFern
Is a widow and bus no family, und the
gentleman she is unxlous to assist Is
presumed to be living at Providence,
and has retired from business us a
traveling salesman and now works us
a carpenter.
TO APPEAR AT I'OIRT.
Division Among the Members of St.
Joseph's I- 11 n Catholic Church.
William Yuskl, of West Lucknwunna
avenue, and Donilnick Bt rages, of Hyde
Park, were yesterday arraigned before
Aldormun Wright, the former with em
bezzlement, und the latter for duclln
Ing to deliver up possession of certain
books, the property of St. Joseph's
Lithuanian Catholic church. The ul
denuan's office wus crowded with
Polunders, members of the church.
Attorney It. J. Murray appeared for
the prosecutor, William Antonuwize
who swore thut he was tho president of
the society und that Yuskl, us treus
urer, und Strages as secretary, had
been removed from, their respective
offices and others appointed In their
stead. When the priest and himself re
quested that they hand over the money
and books they declined to do so, hence
as president of the society, he caused
their arrest.
For the defense Attorney Charles
Dawson staled that Yuski and Strages
were willing to surrender all church
property in their possession, but that
they had not been approu-jhed by the
proper persons. Ills clients were elect
ed on Jan. 6 for a term of six months
each, and he urgued thut they, had a
right to continue In thels offices fur that
period. If, however, the people did not
require their services they were will
ing to give up the money and books
to the rightful owners. Alderman
Wright thought that it was a proper
case to send before the grand Jury and
held lioth defendants In ball of $300,
Emil Schmidt, of - Rebecca avenue,
qualifying as their bondsmen.
THE BALDWIN'S METHODS.
Lawrence Did Not Give a Satisfactory
Explanation of Them.
Lawrence, the exposer of the methods
employed by spiritualistic, humbugs
entertained a small audience at the
Academy of Music last night.
He explulned the manner In which
water Is changed Into wine, how the
spirit pipes are operated, tables made
to float In the air, and ufter doing ull
the tricks usuully performed In spiritu
alistic cabinets, he showed the manner
In which ithey were done.
Then he gave what he alleges Is a
complete exposure of the methods em
ployed by the Baldwins. He said that
ugents who come to the city In advance
secure some of the Information for the
Baldwins and thut confederates In the
audience do the rest. The deaf and
dumb alphabet Is used to telegraph in
formation to Mrs. Baldwin from the
auditorium to the stage. Lawrence
may have the right Idea with regard to
a portion of the system employed by the
Baldwins, but It Is evident that he has
not got the germ of It. Ills exposure
was not at all satisfactory to his uu
dlence last night.
Edward Barnardo, a phenomenal
young man plunlst, and Mile. Electra
who seems a veritable electrical dyna
mo, also assisted In the evening's enter
tainment. HIS DECISION RESERVED.
Hearing in Lunch Wagon Case before
Alderman Donovan.
Before Alderman Donovan yesterday
afternoon a hearing was held In the
case against Aaron Goldberg and J
Burros, proprietors of the night lunch
wagons, who are charged with violating
a city ordinance by allowing their wag-
one to obstruct Lackawanna avenue.
P. J. Farrell was the complainant.
Attorney O'Brien, who represented
the accused, offered In evidence a II
cense from the city treasurer and a per
mit from the street commissioner al
lowing Goldberg and Burros to conduct
business In lunch wagons. Mr. O Brlen
held that the city ordinance on which
the complaint was founded does not
nmdv to lunch wagons
Alderman Donovan reserved his de
cision until Tuesday afternoon, pending
which he allowed the defendants to go
on their own recognizance.

DYERIY ANDJIS RELIEF
'oor Directors Considered a Large
Number of Cases Yesterday.
A MIXTURE OP OCCUPANTS
Director Gibbons Reports a Revolting
Cass from the South Side-Sad Case
of MU19 Mary L. Wcsscr-Superintendent
Uaemcr Thanked.
A regular meeting of the poor board
wus held yesterday afternoon and a
number of cases of destitution relieved.
The father of Mary Louisa Wesser, of
Roaring Brook, appeared before the
board und requested thut his duughter,
who Is Insane, be sent to the Hillside
Home. He offered to puy $4 per week
toward, her maintenance. Miss Wesser
appeared to be ubout 20 years of age
und was a Well built und heulthy look
ing girl, und It was reported that her
Insunlty hud developed ufter un attack
of measles twelve months ago.
Director Gibbons referred to the dila
tory manner in which the outstanding
amounts due to the board were being
collected, and requested the secretary
to consult with Attorney Serugg to In
sure u more expeditious mothod of
gathering in the arrears. In one case,
ulone, the amount wus $100.
Among the cases brought before the
board Mrs. Gannon, of Palm street, and
Mrs. -jjaitey, or seventh street, were
offered u place ouch at the Hillside
Home. Mrs. Aritiuila Sarchla, of 2?1
Fifth avenue, who has a crippled hus
band und Blx children, was found to be
chnrgeuble to the PeckvUle district, and
Instructions were given to remove the
family to that district.
Tho Chickens Must Go.
Mrs. Juliana Sturka appeared before
the board, and us she could not speak
English, Director Gibbons galluntly
acted as her spokesman. He explained
that she lived on Moltke avenue, und
mat nine chickens und one rooster oc
cupied the rooms In the upper purt of
the house, while Mrs. Sturka, her
mother, a weak minded sister und three
children lived In the basement.. Her
husband hud become tired of the com
puny and had gone west. The family,
he declared, were not fit to take care of
themselves, and It was "the worst case
of filth he had seen In his travels." The
board considered the matter for some
time and decided that, subject to the
chickens being removed, Director Gib
bons give such relief as he might con
slder desirable.
W. H. Marsii, of 205 East Market
street, asked for relief, but upon ex
aminatlon by Director Murphy it tran
spired that he hud been associated with
a disreputable house at Dunmore,
When his application was refused he
made use of abusive language toward
the members, and intimated that he
would request the mayor to compel
them to grant him relief. Mrs. Bridget
Batten, of Crown avenue, a widow with
six children, was granted $4 per month
for three months.
The Superintendent Thanked.
Secretary Lynett reported that the
two bills promoted by direction of th(;
board with regard to securing aid from
the state for the maintenance of the in
sane department of the Hillside Home
had been referred by the house to the
appropriations committee. A vote of
thanks was passed to Superintendent
Heemer for his services in the Spellman
case, which had been before the board
for some years, Mr. Boomer having
proved that this district was not liable
for the maintenance of the patient
The directors decided to hold a meeting
of the board at the Hillside farm on
