'.'The second Mrs. Tanqueray" is an
Interesting play, judged from a purely
dramatic, standpoint. In It Plnero
shows the cleverness of his pen and the
appreciation of situations, climaxes and
stage craft that have allowed him to
take rank among the first of English
dramatists. But the story he tells will
not 3o much to elevate the stage. It
belongs to a class of plays the effect of
which must ' be evil. Mr. Tanqueray,
a widower of 40, falls in love 'with a
woman who- has never been married,
but, as she expresses It herself, has
"kept house" with several men. He
thinks that he can by a quiet mar
riage and an equally quiet residence in
Surrey for a few years launch her into
the circle of English society to Vhlch
Mrs. Tanqueray No. 1 belonged. The
daughter of the first Mrs.' Tanqueray
feels, by instinct, that her step-mother
has a reprehensible past and coldly re
fuses to accept her as a mother.Flnaliy
Miss Tanqueray falls In love with a
dashing army officer while' on a visit
to the Continent and when he pre
sents himself at the Tanqueray country
to pay his respects to her parents it la
mn i iiifn
HILL
discovered that he Ib one of the men
with whom Mrs. Tanqueray has kept
house. That ends the love episode be
tween, him and Miss Tanqueray, who
tells her step-mother In vitriolic lan
guage that she always knew she was a
bold, bad woman. Then Mrs. Tan
queray kills herself, though not before
the audience, and the curtain Is rung
down.
Mrs. Kendall gave a faithful interpre
tation of the wayward character of the
Second Mrs. Tanqueray. Her work
was painstaking and thorough, though
somewhat marred by her peculiar man
nerisms and facial contortions. Mr.
Kendal, as Aubrey Tanqueray, was ex
cellent, and the supporting company
was very competent.
The play was staged in a careful and
artistic though not elaborate manner.
A fair-sized audience saw the perform

DEATH OF JOSEPH TURK.
Coroner's Jury Will Meet Tonight to Hear
y Evidence v
Mystery surrounds the death of Jo
soph Turk, the Hungarian who was
found expiring at 11 o'clock Friday
night, not far above the Scranton city
line, along the street car tracks on the
road in Dickson borough. As men
tioned In Saturday's Tribune, the mitn
died a few minutes after being found.
The body was brought to Swallow's un
dertaking establishment in Olyphant,
where It was on Saturday examined by
Coroner J. A. Kelley.
The law did not warrant Justlceof the
Peace Logan In empaneling a Jury, re
quiring that the pluoe where the body Is
found must be nt lenBt ten miles away
from the county seat, before any other
person than the coroner can hold n
Inquest, and then it cannot be done ex
cept at the order of the coroner.
Another Jury, substantially the same as
empaneled by 'Squire Logan, was
sworn, and a post mortem examination
of the body was proceeded with. Dr.
Kelley, in an Interview yesterday, ex
pressed the statement that the man's
death was the result of loss of blood.
The wounds on the head were not
mortal, the skull not being fractured;
but these Injuries were very aggra
vated. The theory that Turk was Injured on
the street cur tracks does not seem to be
borne out by the facts. The position
of the body when It was discovered Is
totally against any such conception.
It had all the appearance of having
been laid In the spot by some person
who wished to make believe that the
street car terminated the man's life.
If the car had struck the man or passed
over his hand the body would hardly
be found on Its back with the mutilated
member half folded across the chest.
Then there are the blood stained sprng
and stone, and the drops of blood on
the ground traced toward the Delaware
and Hudson tracks. The man's hat,
too, was not run over by a street car
but seems to have been torn In a
struggle.
The Jury will convene this evening at
Olyphant to reach a verdict after hear
ing the remainder of the evidence; only
the testimony of the street car men
was taken Saturday.

They Discuss Many Live Topics Benr
ing on Their Work. . 1
MATTER OP LADIES' SOCIETIES
Reasons Why Thoro Is Opposition to
Their 1'orraatlon Speak Eagles Aro Do
clarcd to Do tho Deliberate Foos
of tho Temperance Movement.
Questions bearing on the cause of
temperance were discussed with much
warmth of opinion and vigorous ex
pression of views by the delegates from
the various total abstinence societies
of the Second distrlot of the Scranton
Diocesan union at the ninth quarterly
convention held yesterday afternoon at
St. Paul's armory on West Lackawan
na avenue. J. C. Clallagehr, presiding
officer of the district, called the con
vention to order at 2.30, and the usual
opening prayer was said. Every society
of the district was represented by five
delegates and a very worthy feature
was 'the presence of a large number of
young ladies as representatives of .their
societies.
Itev. D. H. Green, assistant priest of
St. Joseph's parish, Mlnooka, was there
and was accorded the position of honor
on the .platform. Presiding Officer
Gallagher Introduced Father Green to
the delegates and the reverend gentle
man responded with on address that
contained words of encouragement and
assurance. Father Green bespoke suc
cess and prosperity for the organization
that attends to the education of the
youth In the glorious cause of temper
ance. 1 low of Oratory.
Under the head of unfinished business
the question whether or not the Ladles'
Temperance societies are a benefit was
Introduced for discussion. Delegates
Noon, McCaffrey and Davelle opened up
wHh speeches In favor of the ludies,
and the question got along without In
cident until M. J. O'Toole asked Dele
gate Cullen why the ladles' society con
nected with St. John's society of tho
South Side hud disbanded. The an
swer came that the weaker sex were
held up to ridicule and could not stand
the taunts and gibes of scoffers.
Delegate Mulherln, of Pine Brook,
felt that the organization of ladles'
societies would conduce to the s,uccess
of the men's society. If that is not a
fact then the delegate would not be In
favor of the ladies' societies, because
he had a higher opinion, of them than
to think that they needed to band to
gether for self-preservation.
Mr. Cullen Bald that the timber that
Is wanted Is not drunkards, but mod
erate drinkers. There are Keeley cures
for the former. Mn Cullen wanted to
sea the woman organized in the move
ment for the example they would show.
They Ilnvo (ircnt Influence.
Delegate Lavelle, from the bouth
Side, said that It would take a team
of oxen: to yank some persons Into the
temperance ranks, and he noticed that
many thus disposed were as tractable
as doves when the young women took
an Interest In temperance work. Dele
gate Purcell, of Green Ridge, put forth
the assertion that the women are Just
as sadly In need of reform as the men.
Mr. O'Toole thought that the conven
tion was evolving Itself Into a sort of
mutual admiration feast. If you In
quire Into the work of the AVomen's
Christian union, he said, It will be
found that the organization is a power
for good. In some of ittyj western
states, according to Mr. O'Toole, the
enfranchisement of women has shown
what they are capable of doing and In
several other states where the freedom
of the ballot Is soon promised to the
weaker sex the good usa thy will make
of It, will answer the calumnies and
aspersions that have been cast against
them. Give the women a chance, ad
vocated Mr. O'Toole, and they will
prove themselves equal to the trust.
He moved to postpone the question in
definitely, and the convention agreed
to the motion.
Speeches from Visitors.
D. J. Campbell, of this city, and John
H. Foy, of Plttston, entered the hall
and were escorted to a place on the
platform. Mr. Campbell was called
upon for a speech and addressed the
assemblage in an eloquent manner. Mr.
Foy was called on to make a few re
marks. The temperance men, Mr. Foy
said, are engaged In the noblest work
In the land. He was glad to see the
ladies assisting In the work. He be
lieves that a young man puts forth the
best evidence of his character when
he shows that he Is sober.
The question concerning the greatest
drawback in each vicinity to the cause
of total abstinence was next discussed.
The secretary called the role of dele
gates and representatives from each
society stood up and gave their opin
ions. Mr. Purcell, of St. John's society,
South Side, when called upon, stated
that the Irrepressible "speak-easy" is In
his locality the most deliberate foe that
had to be contended against. Delegate
James Mahon, of the South Side,
thought that there ought to be more
earnest and energetic work among the
members to Induce men to Join and hold
those that are already In the ranks.
President John H. Devlne, of the Dio
cesan union, spurred the officers of the
societies to greater effort, and his re
marks called from Conductor P. J. Mes
sittt, of the South Side, and Vice-President
Cullen, of the district, prompt
queries, asking Mr. Devlne to be more
specific, and If he knew of any back
sliding to report it. They told Mr. De
vlne to tell what he knows about offi
cers who do not do their duty; and Mr.
Messltt, In his advice 'to the first officer
of the Diocesah union, rose to a high
pitch of eloquence.
AUnooko Knows the Speak Easy.
Peter F. Cuslck, of Mlnooka, com
plained that the unlicensed grog shop
Is not an unknown quantity in that vil
lage, and In St. Joseph's society, of
which he Is a member, Mr. Cuslck said
that the old men are not in favor of any
amusement that would tend tQ.make It
pleasant for the young men, which
would tend to keep the young men to
gether. '.
Mr. Martin, under the head of hew
business, made a motion that the offi
cers of the district be authorized to
correspond with the pastors of the city,
with a view toward organizing cadet
societies. The otion did not prevail.
M. T. Burke, of Carbondale, read a let
ter from Rev. George Zurcher, of Buffa
lo, a very eloquent priest, who would
be pleased .to come to Scranton after
Easter and deliver a lecture. The rev
erend gentleman will be In Hazleton In
a few weeks.
An intermission of a half hour was
spent in enjoying a delicious lunch,
furnished by the St. Pauls. Before and
after the intermission the advisability
of amending certain, sections of the
constitution and by-laws of the Dio
cesan union was discussed.
President Devlne found a ready ra
sonse from the delegates in taking
tickets to dispose of for the benefit at
the' Frothlngham for the Thirteenth,
regiment armory fund.
KILLED ON THE TRACK.
Tragic Death of liutchcr Low Is Gctx of tho
West Side.
Death in a sudden and uncertain
manner overtook Butcher Lewis Getz,
of 718 West Lackawanna avenue, on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railroad tracks opposite the Lacka
wanna Iron and Coal company store at
2.55 yesterday morning. His body was
run over and mangled by the fast train
for New York; the wheels passed over
the breast and almost bisected the
body, only a few shreds of fleBh and
bone holding both portions together;
the right arm was cut off and the
bruises on the head and face were so
violent that the dead countenance Is
turned to a dark crimson color.
Getz was a well-to-do business man
of the Wesi Side, was married, and
leaves a wife and four children, Ella,
William, Edwin, and Charles. He left
home Saturday afternoon to go to the
South Side to collect some bills, and
being widely acquainted across the
Roaring Brook, he remained until late.
The supposition Is that he was taking
a short cut across what Is known local
ly as Mill Btreet, and was killed after
reaching the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western tracks.
Coroner Kelley went to the residence
yesterday afternoon and empaneled the
following Jury: Dr. Walter M. Reedy,
John Hoffman, W. B. Duggan, Thomas
Maloney, H. Borgmann, and John T.
Brown. The remulns were viewed and
the Inquest was adjourned until Wed
nesday evening at 7.30 at the arbitra
tion room In the court house.
Burial services will be conducted to
morrow at 12 o'clock at the house by
Rev. G. L. Aldrlch, of Grace Reformed
Episcopal church. The remains will be
placed on the 12.45 afternoon train
on the Central Railroad of New Jersey
dnd taken to White Haven for inter
ment. '

VERY CHOICE BURGLARS
They Scorned to Take Anything but
Silverware.
VISITED ATTORNEY O'BRIEN
They Gathered L'p Silver Servlco and
Carried It Away but Did Not Toueh
Anything t'lso-Ohtaincd F.ntrauco
Through a Window.
Professional burglars forced an en
trance Into the residence of Attorney
Joseph O'Brien, oVi Madison avenue,
near Mulberry street, between 3 and 3
o'clock yesterday morning. They se
cured over $200 worth of solid silver
ware. The cracksmen made a nice distinc
tion between solid and plated stuff, and
carried away only articles of excep
tional value. The Job was done neatly
and with dispatch, anJthe peculiar de
tails of the burglary Indicate postlvely
that the men were professionals and
knew their business. The case was re
ported yesterday morning to Chief of
Police Simpson. At a late hour lust
night no clue had been found of the
Identity of the bold nlglit prowlers.
A list of the articles taken Is as fol
lows: three' dozen tea spoons, a tea
service of many pieces, several napkin
rings, two child's mugs, a cuke dish
and mutch safe, all solid silver. A
chenille cloth, 'which covered the din
ing room table, .and which was prob
ably used to hold the plunder, and a
pocketbook containing 00 cents, which
had been left In thu drawer of a coat
rack in the hall, were taken. It Is pos
sible thut other articles of silver were
also stolen.
The Way They Entered.
Mrs. O'Brien, who Is 111, and who Is
attended by a nurse, heard suspicious
noises between 2 and 3 o'clock. She be
came nervous and directed the nurse
to awaken Mr. O'Brien. After being
called, Mr. O'Brien descended to the
first floor and found the small cellar
lamp lighted and resting on the kitchen
floor. The small window at the rear
of the kitchen was open. The sill of the
window Is about 12 feet from the
ground.
Mr. O'Brien soon ascertained that
silverware had been taken from the
buffet In the dining room. After sat
isfying himself that the robbei'B had
left the house he refastened the window
and retired for the remainder of the
night, notifying the police early In the
morning.
A Tribune reporter visited the house
yesterday afternoon and found many
evidences that the burglary had been
done by professional knights o' the
Jimmy. That at least two men did the
Job was Indicated by the scratches and
marks beneath the window which Is
possibly twelve feet from the ground.
The scratches showed that one of the
men stood upon, the shoulders of a
companion, and, after sliding back the
window catch with a thin knife, raised
the sash and climbed inside. No ladder,
board or other means of reaching the
window was found after a careful
search. It would have been impossible
for a person to reach the window un
assisted. Gavo Clothing the Go By.
A plated pickle dish on the top of the
buffet, and a wooden box of steel nut
crackers, and another box of plated
knives and forks were not removed
from a drawer. From this drawer,
however, several solid articles were
taken. The dining room Is connected
with the sitting room by a large double
doorway, and In a closet, opening from
the sitting room, many wraps and
articles of outer clothing, as well as a
silver-handled umbrella, were left un
disturbed. On the coat rack In the hall several
wraps hung and were not removed. The
pocketbook In the drawer of the rack
contained a number of receipts and
statements. The papers were left In
the drawer and only the pocketbook
and the 60 cents It contained was taken.
The mode of entry, the quick work
and the leaving undisturbed of articles
which might lead to detection, points
to professional and daring men as the
visitors.
DAMAGES FOR $10,000.
Asked of tho Traction Company for Kill
lug .Mcrrltt Lawrence.
A suit for damages to the amount of
$10,000 has been started against the
Scranton Traction company by Allan
Lawrence, father of Merrltt Lawrence,
the 4-year-old boy who was killed by a
car ten days ago at Adams avenue and
Olive street. The first formal papers In
the suit were filed Saturday by Huls
lander and Vosburg In the prothono
tary's office.
Mr. Lawrence declares that the car
which caused his boy's death was driv
en negligently and carelessly, and at a
high rate of speed, that the bell was
not rung, and that the car was not
equipped with modern and proper ap
pliances to check Its headway or guard
against such accidents.
