FARH'SjONEY- CONE
Pour Hundred Dollars Tukcn from a
Drawer of His Bureau.
MADE USE OP A PALSE KEY
With It the llouso Wos Entered Yester
day Afternoon and When Mr. Farn
ham Returned from Work He
Found Ills Money Missing.
James H. Famham, of 112 Penn ave
nue, who is employed at the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western car shops,
made a complaint to the police yester
dny that the sum of 8400 was numracted
from a bureau in his bedroom yester
day. The robbery appears to have taken
place under very peculiar circum
stances. Mr. Farnharm resides In
rooms on the third story, above Pierce's
market, and Mrs. Brayton, his house
keeper, and himself are the sole occu
pants of the rooms.
Yesterday morning Mr. Farnharm
locked up the cairn In the bureau In his
bedroom, and went to work as usual.
During the morning he was anxious as
to Its safety, and at the dinner hqur
hurried home to examine the drawer.
He, however, found it secure and felt
satisfied.
After dinner ho locked his bedroom
door and left the key In the usual place,
and 'Mrs. Brayton left the rooms soon
after him, locking the other doors and
placing the keys together.
Doors Open and Money Gone.
About the same time the people living
on the secund floor also went out, so
that for some hours the rooms were
deserted, and the main door leading
from Center street was left open.
When Mr, Famham returned from
work he found the doors open,- but the
keys In their hiding place. The bureau
was also open, and a strange key left
In the lock. All the money had disap
peared, and, save the strange key, no
trace of the theif was left. The police
were communicated with, and a thor
ough search was made.
Mr. Farnharm, who Is not In the best
of health, Is much grieved over the loss
of his hard-earned savings, and, as the
$400 were all In cash, It will be a most
difficult matter to trace the thief.
CANNOT BUILD THE FENCE.
Robert Savage, of Ounmore, Is Enjoined
Until Otherwlso Ordorcd.
Three weeks ago Robert Savage, of
Dunmore, began ito erect a fence fif
teen feet further toward the street than
the line where his old fence stood. No
roadway Is laid out, but Marlon street.
If extended through Dunmore, would
constitute a, thoroughfare on which
Savage's property would abut.
When he began to build the fence the
Pennsylvania Coal company procured
a temporary injunction restraining
him. The matter was then argued be
fore Judge Gunster, who reserved his
decision until yesterday, when he hand
ed down an opinion ordering the in
junction made permanent.
The Pennsylvania Coal company con
tended that the land which Savage was
about to fenoe In belonged to them by
virtue of the fact that they had been In
peaceable and continuous possession of
It for twenty-five years. Judge Gun
ster declared that this having; been
shown to be & fact, it Is sufficient to
enjoin Savage from building the fence,
because lit Is equivalent to restraining
him from tolling forcible possession of
property which another has owned for
twenty-live years.
' In his opinion Judge Gunster says
that the case is such that It Is doubtful
whether the court of equity Is the
proper place to dispose of It. When
rights which are legal are asserted on
one side and denied on the other the
remedies are at law. Savage claims
that the warantee lines of his property
entitle him to the strip of land.
. FINE, WHOLESOME PLAY.

"Jlhore Acres," that magnificent drama
of Llalne farm life, which is giving "The

Musi c last night to an audience that tilled
the ' house. There are two reasons for
such generous patronage which should
cause considerable gratification to the

exriellant of the company when the play

STOCK FEATURE RETAINED
Effort to Have It Wiped Out Voted
Down by Hoard of Trade. '
JOHN M.KEMMERER'S REMARKS
Thought the Blackboard Was I'sed to In
jure Infant Industries-William Con
nell of Opinion That Present Sys
tem Serves s I'scful Purpose.
A large number of members attended
the meeting of the board of trade laBt
evening, when John M. Kemmcrer pro
posed the following resolution: "That
the stock feature be abandoned on
June 1, 181)5, and that the blackboard
be taken out of the room on that date."
In moving his resolution Mr. Kem
merer, after referring to objects for
which the board was organized, said:
"Does the stock feature come within
the mission of this board or any board
of trade? Does it do the board any
good? I claim No, and, further, say H
harms our Industries In which we all
have so much pride. Remember many
of the industries have had a hard time
to get on their feet, and have weath
ered a depression as none of us
ever achieved, and anything to
cause the least suspicion of weakness
coming from this board would do much
more harm than coining from any
other source.
i "It seems to me Improper thnt our
board should give any opportunity to
Injure the credit of any infant Indus
try that It has brought Into existence.
I claim the secretary has more than
he can do with the legitimate work and
aims of this board, and that stock
brokerage belongs to the brokers,
banks or Individuals. Does this board
fix any value on Industrial stock? No;
it demoralizes, both the seller and
buyer. I have stock In factories, and
none of them are for sale at leBS than
par, yet I have taken more than I
originally Intended, and consequently
would not buy at less than par. No
value can be fixed until dividends are
paid from the earnings, and then buy
ers can be found without public ad
vertizing." What Colonel Hitchcock SniJ.
Colonel Hitchcock, who supported the
resolution, said that the position taken
by Mr. Kemmerer was a sound one,
and that while the board nursed certain
Industries In the town, other institu
tions were discredited, and the effort of
the board constituted a menace to the
younger industries. He thought It un
fair to foster one Industry and try to
snow under another. In his opinion
it was entirely wrong for the board to
adopt the stock exchange work.
William Connell said he regarded the
stock features as a matter of con
venience to the members and the com
munity in general, and much more con
venient than advertising In the papers.
Dealing with the work of the block
board he said that It did not diminish
the value of any stock, but If It showed
any fraudulent Institutions In their
proper light, then they should be ex
posed and the work of the board should
continue. Another argument In favor
of the feature was that It prevented
any stock being foisted upon people
who were not aware of Its proper value.
He had heard of a case where the
stock of a new institution, which was
not worth 6 cents a share, was sold at
J100 a share to a countryman. If such
action was stopped, by all means keep
the board. Dealing with Colonel Hitch
cock's remarks, Mr. Connell said that
It was an easy matter to make asser
tions, but It was a different question to
prove them, and if Colonel Hitchcock
could show him how the figures on the
board had the effect he mentioned, he
would be ready to yield the floor.
Compelled to Accept Their Figure.
When a buyer or seller desired to
place stock on the board they were
compelled to give a guarantee to sell or
buy If their offer was met. Regarding
the effect upon new industries, he said
that it would require considerable logic
to show how the figures would affect
such Industries. All Industries should
stand or fall on their own merits.. If
they wanted to put down fraudulent
Institutions, the best means would be
to keep on the board, and at the same
time they would foster all worthy In
stitutions. W. H. Peck, of the Third National
bank, explained the safeguards adopt
ed In connection with the blackboard.
T. H. Dale opposed the resolution and
dealt with the advantages of the fea
ture to the local commercial Interests.
Ebenezer Williams, Luther Keller, J.
A. Lansing and others spoke on the
matter, after which the motion was
voted upon. About three persona voted
for the resolution, whloh tho chairman
declared to be lost.
Among the miscellaneous business
transacted at the meeting a report was
read from the manufactures commit
tee, stating that their negotiations
with the Drawbaugh Telephone com
pany had ceased, as the amount of
capital $500,000 to be raised locally,
was too heavy. The James Simpson
company's silk mills, on, the South Side,
would be ready for operation In ninety
days, when 600 hand would be em
ployed. Street Car Fender Ordinance
It was also reported that the street
car fender ordinance would be Intro
duced in common council on Thursday
night, WHh regard to the tin plate
plant, the committee were Jiopeful of
Becurlns; sufficient outside capital to In
sure the Industry for Scranton, and a
deputation will visit New York for the
purpose of Interviewing Interested par
ties. A communication from the Reform
club, New York, regarding distribution
of literature on "Sound Money" was
received and filed.
- THEY WANT M'INTYBE.
Many Collars at Ills Offleo In the Raub
Building.
The announcement of the arrest of
W. J. Molntyre, made exclusively In
yesterday's Tribune, caused a niBb on
the part of ithose who did business with
that gentleman and his partner, J. ,F.
Harris, to Mclntyre's office In the Raub
building on Spruce street, yesterday.
Many climbed the two flights of
stairs during the day and sought ad
mission to the dingy office, but all
were unsuccessful. Several Irate male
callers vowed vengeance on Mclntyre
and promised to make It Inetrestlng for
him as soon as they lay hands on him.
GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.
Proposition to Hold a Series of Such
Meetings During Hummer. .
The semi-annual meeting of the John
n. Fordham Prohibition league was
held In the annex of the Zlon Evan
gelical church, on Capouse avenue, last
night. After the meeting was called to
order by Rev. J. M. Howells, . Rev.
George L. Malce offered prayer, after
which the report of the president was
received. He gave a brief review of
the work done during his term and es
pecially during license court. He also
suggested the holding of gospel temper
ance . meetings during the summer,
which suggestion was discussed during
the meeting, the sentiment of those
present being in favor of the holding
of them, although nothing definite was
done.
The meeting adjourned until tiext
Monday night for the election of offi
cers, when It la desired that there be a
full attendance, as all the ofllcers will
be changed.
OREYZIK'STPECIILIAR DEATH.
Ills Body Wss Lying on the Railroad
Track When lis Was Run Down by a
Locomotive.
As the fast express passenger train,
No. 9, on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, was rounding the curve below
the Elm street crossing on the South
Side at 7.00 last evening, the fireman,
leaning out of the cab window, looking
ahead, Baw what he recognized as the
body of a man thrown head and should
ers across the left rail of the track. He
shouted to the engineer, who Instantly
applied the rakes; but before the train
came to a standstill the pilot of the
engine struck the body, crushing the
heud and sinking several large holes In
the skull. The pilot wheels run over the
right arm and cut It off near the elbow.
The remains were brought to thei Scran
ton station, and Undertaker A. R. Raub
was on hand and removed them to his
morgue on Spruce street.
Scratches on a tin tobacco box In two
places was what appeared to be the
name, Adam Greyzuk. Two flve-cent
ploces, a pair of beads, a Jack-knife with
a carved bone handle, a short lead pen
cil, and a tew scraps of torn paper were
all of the dead man's effects. He Is
evidently either a Hungarian or Po
lander, and was about 35 yeurs of age,
dark complexion, inclined to be swarthy
with heavy black hair and a thick black
mustache.
There is a shadow of suspicion that
the man may have been assaulted and
placed on the track. He Is from this
city, as the trade mark on the Inside of
a new straw hat that was found near
the body showed that It had been pur
chased at the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company's store.
Body Was on tho Track,
The passenger train is In charge of
Engineer John Steubbleblne and Con
ductor Sylvester Alberts. It was going
a little more than twelve miles an hour
when the fireman Baw the body on the
track. There Is a culm bank not far
from the road, and the body was on
the fireman's side. Only the head and
shoulders were on the left rail. The
hands were thrown up as If warding
off a blow, and when the engine struck
him the reaction of the body appeared
to indicate that the man had been
stunned before that. His hat was a
few feet away and In it was found a
large piece of slate or mine rock.
Coroner J. A. Kelley was notified, but
he decided to await this morning before
empaneling a Jury and examining the
body.
The trainmen say that the man wore
no coat. His vest and trousers were
shoddy, but new. His shoes and shirt
were of good quality, and the texture of
the gauze undershirt was of finer fabric
than that usually worn by laboring
men.
Is It a Case of Ruicldo.
All tho marks that are to be seen on
the body are the result of being struck
by the train. Some persons who saw
him think that the man committed sui
cide, as there Is nothing to warrant the
belief that he had been Intoxicated and
gone to sleep on the track.
SAW THE BRONZE STATUES.
Large Audionoo Attracted to Davis' Thea
torLast Nicht.
An audience that filled Davis' theater to
the doors last night saw the first presenta
tion of living bronze statues in this city.
The concensus of opinion of those who saw
them last night is that they are no more.
If even as obectionable, as many of the
living pictures that have, been seen here.
The posers were a man and woman and
they were seen as "The Disc Thrower,"
"Flora," "Paris and Helen," "Achilles,"
"The Dying Gaul" and "The Fisherman,"
in all of which the originals were correctly
presented. The last statue shown was
that of "Diana," when the woman posed
attired only In a breech cloth and a coat
of bronze paint. In all of the poses the
man had no other covering, but with the
exception of "Diana" the woman was par
tially covered by a drapery.
While waiting for her turn to go upon
the pedestal and pose she Informed a
Tribune mun that she would Just as leave
pose as a bronze statue as he would In
fleshllngs. "It doesn't make any differ
ence," she said, "one is Just the same as
the other. I feel Just as dressed In this us
In tights." The posing Is done under the
personal supervision of Mr. Nahl, the dis
coverer of the bronze preparation with
which his subjects are covered.
"I first apply a coating of grease to the
skin," he said In explaining the process to
a Tribune man last night, "and after the
body has been thoroughly covered with It
the bronze is applied. Its preparation Is
my secret. It Is not Injurious and does not
Mil the pore of the skin as you can ob
serve by looking at this man and woman.
You can see the sweat ooze out through
the bronze covering."
Judged merely from an artistic stand
point last night's posing was a success,
but the advisability of allowing on the
public stage what belongs to the artists
studio may well be question. It brings home
forcibly to us the question, "Whither are
we drifting?" It would appear that in the
bronze statues the era of realism on the
stage has about exhausted Itself, There
are few more barriers to burn.
The statues are the closing feature of a
very good vaudeville performance, which
Introduces many clever people. Among
those who saw the performance last night
were William H. Campbell, of the Blng
hamton Leader, and William A. Patton, of
the Herald, of the same city. The statues
are to be shown In Blnghamton the latter
part of the week and that the people of
that city might be enlightened in advance
as to what they are like, -these gentle
men attended last night's performance.
The company will be at DavlB this and
tomorrow nights and tomorrow afternoon.

UNITED SINGERS OF CITY
f
They Will Contest at Wllkes-Barre
on June 11 and 12.
HISTORY OP PAST EISTEDDFODS
It Shows That Whenever Scranton Singers
Have Lost They Have Been .Divided
Against Tbemselves-W Hove Now
Ono Harmonious Organization.
On June' 11 and 12 an eisteddfod will
be held at Wllkes-Barre that will be
famous In the annals of such musical
events In this valley. It Is attracting
the greatest attention In this state, and
ever far outside of the confines of the
Keystone commonwealth, because the
big choirs of Scranton and Wilkes
Barre will be pitted against one another
for the two great prizes, the first of
which is $1,000, and the second 8300.
For the first time In years Scranton
will go Into the contest with one united
choir, which Is no little factor in awak
ening great Interest, for If the Electric
City could send such wonderful singers
as the Cymrudorlons and members of
the Choral union to the World's Fair
and win the big prize when divided
against themselves, what ought they
not be able to do with one fearmonlous
organization of carefully selected and
trained singers to meet the common
enemy.
It has, unfortunately, been the fact
that rarely have the singers of the
city laid factlonlsm aside for the musi
cal advancement of the city as they
have at present. The history, of the
eisteddfod of this region proves this.
In 1875 the first big eisteddfod was held
In this city in a tent owned by Qilmore,
the famous bandmaster, which had a
seating capacity of 8,000. It was pitched
on the West Side and was the scene
of spirited contests.
Three Scranton Choirs.
Three Scranton choirs competed, one
under the leadership bf Robert J.
James, father of Heclor James; a sec
ond under the leadership of G. M. Wil
liams, now a mine Inspector of Luzerne
county, while the third was directed
by Robert Jones, father of T. Reeves
Jones, the eminent pianist. There was
ono choir from WilkeB-Barre and two
from Plymouth, but the big prize was
won by Robert J. James' choir, and the
second by the singers led by Robert
Jones.
In 1880 another elsteddfdd was held
on the West Side under the ausplcles
of the Welsh Philosophical society. A
pavilion, capable of seating 6,000 per
sons, was erected, and in this the con
tests took place. Again Scranton en
tered three choirs for the leading prizes,
two from the West Bide and one from
Providence. A West Side choir, led by
William Evans, father of Hadyn Evans,
was the victor. It was at this eistedd
fod that Bauer's band first entered in
a competition, and made Itself famous
by winning the prize for the best rendi
tion of "The Heavens are Telling."
The Lackawanna rink, on Adams
avenue, was the scene of the next big
eisteddfod, which was held In' 1885.
Two Scranton choirs were opposed by a
Plymouth choir for the chief prize, and
the latter won to the lasting regret of
Scranton music lovers, who knew that
if but one Scranton choir had entered,
culled from the best material in the
two, Its victory would have been de
cisive. Victory in Philadelphia.
' The bl-centenntal caused a big eis
teddfod to be held In Philadelphia In
18S7, one of the biggest In the history
of the country. The chief prize was
$1,200, and Scranton sent one choir to
oppose others from Schuylkill county,
Plymouth and Wllkes-Barre. Scran
ton's representatives, under the leader
ship of Howell T. Jones, carried the
big prize, but In 1888 another eisteddfod
was held In Philadelphia, and this time
Scranton sent down two choirs, and
allowed Plymouth to capture the chief
prize.
Two choirs went to Wllkes-Barre
from the West Side In 1891. One under
the leadership of Professor Daniel
Protheroa, known as the Cymrodorlons,
the other led by Haydn Evans. Proth
eroe's choir won, but two years later
the choirs of the same conductors met
at the World's fair, in Chicago, and
this time Mr. Evans was the victor.
Scranton spent upwards of $20,000 to
send these rival choirs to Chicago, and
beside the great expenditure of money
much bitterness of feeling was en
gendered among the Bingers. To soften
and obliterate this rivalry has "been the
aim of many good men since, and they
have been so successful that the Scran
ton United Choral society, under tha
leadership of John T. Watklns, 15 the
result. It Is a great musical organiza
tion, made up of the best voices of the
old oholrs and If properly supported by
the people of Scranton la sure to win
great fame for the Electrto City.

Residence of Jnmes Donohoe on Irving
Avenuo Destroyed by Fire-Sad Afflic
tion of Goorgoj. Mlllor-Othor Notes.
James Donahoe'a one and one-half
frame building located at the rear of
a lot between Fig and Palm streets, on
Irving avenue, and all the household
effects, were destroyed by' Are at 3
o'clock yesterday morning. The loss
approaches $1,000, with but half that
amount of Insurance. The owner is em
ployed as a charger at the South Steel
works, and left home an hour before
to go to work. His wife arose and pre
pared a meal for him. They have a
family of five children. Mrs. Donahoe
returned to sleep and was awakened
by the smoke. She hurried to get her
children out, and wHen that was ac
complished without any of them being
burned, the flames had progressed so
far that no part of the furniture could
be saved. An alarm was sounded from
box 48 and the fire companies respond
ed, but the water force was so weak
that a stream could not be got to play
on the flames. The nearest fire hydrant
was two blocks away. There being no
other houses at close range to the fire,
fortunately only that property was de
stroyed. Brief Interesting Paragraphs.
