Caused Death of supcrintcmlcnt Ilrown
in Murray Shuft, lMmmoro.
Superintendent Thomas Brown, of the
firm of Murray, Carney & Brown, that
hus operated the old .Murray shaft at
Dunmore, was Instantly killed at 11.30
o'clock Saturday morning by a fall of
roof. His body was crushed under
tons of mine rock and it required the
efforts of six men with ra,lls as levers
to release the remains.
Mr. Brown was directing a force of
men, who were opening a new vein at
the foot of the shaft. A blast had been
fixed and he went in ahead of the min
ers to make an inspection of the roof,
before he would allow any of the others
to imperil themselves, and In his heroic
zeal for the safety of his employes,
death In a swift and terrible form came
to himself. The roof was insecure and
before tiring the last blast, a large
amount of rock had been taken down.

ASKS TEN DOLLOKS A PAGE.
Dr. B. II. Throop Refuses to Pay Marlon
Stuart Conn That Amount.
A suit to recover $3,173' with Interest
from Aug. 1, 1SD5, was begun In the
ofllee of Prothonotary Tryor Saturday
by iMarlon Stuart Cann against Dr. B.
H. Throop. Attorney K. C. Newcomb
represents the plaintiff. The basis of
the suit is summed up as follows:
"The plaintiff Is by profession a
Journalist and Keneral writer. The de
fendant is a capitalist and formerly a
'physician .by profession who has lived
upwards of half a century In tho city
of 'Seranton, in said county. About the
month of January, ISM, the defendant
was desirous of writing and publishing
for sale his biography or memoirs, and
being -well acquainted with the plaintiff
and familiar with his literary ability
engaged his services to write and re
duce to proper readable shape said
biography or memoirs, and contracted,
promised and agreed to and with the
plaintiff to pay ihlm for said services, as
his compensation, at the standard rate
for what Is known to the literary world
ns magazine work, to wit: the sum of
$10 per page."
The book is the one titled "A Half
Century In Seranton," and contains 2fi6
pages. I.Mr. Cann has been paid $4S7 on
account, leavlnjr a balance of $3,173,
for which amount he brings the suit.
Dr. Thrnop's version of the matter
Is that he engaged 'Mr. Cann at $2.50 a
day to dress up the memoirs and ar
range them: and that Mr. Cann was
very Irregular In his work, dragging
along for eighteen months what should
have been accomplished In three or four
months. ,
The plaintiff Insists that the editor
of Harper's, Pcribner'g and the Cen
tury magnzlnes will be put on the wit
ness stand when the case comes to
trial to show that $10 a page Is con
sidered very reasonable rates for book
work.

CONDUCTORS ON THE RUN.
Traction Company Officials Wielding the
Ax with an Unsparing Hand.
The Mfe of a street car conductor is
anything but a bed of roses these days
from all accounts. A Tribune reporter
was Informed by m well known ootid uo-
tor Saturday that wi'thrn a week past
over fifty motormen and ticket punch
ers have been summoned to the general
manager's otllce, or to ue the phrase
ology in vogue, "they 'have walked the
carpi."
' Some of the latter have been called
up on complaints that their arms get
weary too eoun pulling the register
rope arod thereby enable themselves to
come in on a store of the company's
profits. Other conductors are charged
wMh divers Infractions of the rules,
mcb s smoking wMIe on duty, allow
ing passengers to smoke, there being a
rule forbidding this; not running ahead
alt railway crossings, riding In the ear,
etc., etc. The complaints against the
motormen are also multifarious.
As a result of these accusations many
discharges nave taken place.
OAMBLlXti DEN FOR BOYS.
It Wus Located in tho Cellar of Davles
Grlfrin's Old Store on Lackawanna
Avenue.
For some weeks the police have been
cognizant of the fact that a gang of
boys have been making a gambling
rendezvous of Davles & Orlllln's
burned-out store, at 28 iLackuwanna
avenue They have been waiting for
un opportunity to make a big haul, and
Inst night the opportunity presented
Itself. L squad of police consisting of
Detective 'Dyer, Patrolmen Hodham,
Peters, Oeorge Jones and Hidgeway
made a descent on the place about 9.30
o'clock and succeeded in bagging all the
gamblers, nine In number, together
with their outilts, which consisted of a
set of "crap" dice, a pack of cards and
a "biddy" with 3D cents in it.
The gambling den was located In the
basement, about midway between the
front and rear ends of the store build
ing. To reach It the ofllcers were com
pelled to descend a ladder and crawl
through a small opening In one of the
partition walls. In a snug chamber,
seated nbout a large dry goods box,
the police found their prey. The place
was lighted by an oil lamp suspended
from a half-burned beam, and the light
was Invisible except from the opening
In the wall, which was the only en
trance to the den.
So sure were the Inhabitants that
they were rafe from observation or dis
covey that when Detective Dyer put
put his head though the opening and
asked the young gentlemen to be kind
enough to step out singly the first
exclamation that came In response was
"(lee! Somebody's squealed."
When the gang had been anchored
one to the other by means of hand
cuffs. Detective Dyer gathered up the
gaming paraphernalia and the proces
sion moved to the central station house,
nttraciting much attention on the 'way
thither.
Four of the gamesters had Influential
friends, who secured their release by
depositing security for their appear
ance In the morning. The five others,
one of them a colored youth, had to
spend the night In the cells. Some of
thorn were rather old-fashioned to be
classed ns youths, but tho majority
were mere boys, one of thrm being not
over 12 years of age. However, this
Barney youngster Is said to he the lead
ing spirit of the aggregation. To a
Tribune reporter he was very loqua
cious. "oine kid went broke nr'l peached
to the coppers." said he. "Thnt's how
we wuz pinehcl. Hut the bobbles
weren't a bit II v. or they'd a come down
afore supper. We had fortv In the push
and a big rake-off In tho biddy."
It wis as he enid. Investigation after
ward proved. Fully two score boys and
men were congregated there at one time
during the nfternoon and a number nf
"greenles" loft not only their money,
but Jewelry and any cth"r valuables
which they eoul.l realize on at the
"biink."
None of the prisoners would give nnv
Intimation as to who was at the head
of the business, but the foii of a nroinl
nent family Is mentioned as the one
who derived the revenue from the
game.

Victim Expired In a Short While After
wardAttorney John J. Murphy Will
Open Case for Commonwealth and

This morning opens the-first term of

case heads the list of both weeks. There

The murder case that will be put on
trial today Is the one for which Pas
quello Paretto stands indicted, the vic
tim having been John Demarko. The
murderer Is an Italian, and so was the
murdered man. As yet It has notabeen
generally known thnt the crime was
anything but cold-blooded and delib
erate. Paretto nnd Demarko were
among a number of Italians in a Jessup
boarding house on Sunday evening of
June 30 last, and from some trivial pre
text a quarrel arose. Paretto went up
stairs and provided himself with a stil
etto and a revolver. 'He gave the re
volver to a fellow called Wardo. who
shot Michael Demsirko. a brother of the
murdered man, nnd Paretto, himself,
plunged the slllletto 'Into John Demar
ko' s heart. He tried to escape after he
saw what he had done, but was caught
nnd detained until the olllct rs arrived
and brought him to the county Jail.

preparation of the case and he will be

THE LOCAiTtIIKATERS.
America's clever actor, Robert Hil
llurd, iius never made oilier than a fa
vorable Impression, with the various
leading ndes in which he has appeared.
His work us the pollliciian in "Blue
Jeans," his career with "Mr. Barnes,
of New York," and "The Nominee."
etc., will be readily recalled by Mr. Hil
llard's admirers, lint If press criti
cisms and the assertions of theatrical
managers nre to be relied upon, how
ever, 'in none of these productions has
he given so strong a portrayal of char
acter as he Is now giving In the new so
ciety comedy, "Lost 21 'Hours." This
comedy will be presented by Mr. Hil
liard and his excellent company nt
the Academy of Music next Tuesday
evening.
Merchant of Venice.
James Carden Is one of the foremost
actors of our time. He has played as a
stnr In every Ibirllsli-spenking country
on the fnce of the globe. .So 'In his mid
dle nge he Is a ripened, mellow nctor.
When most of the actors who are now
nt the head nf blood and thunder melo
dramas and farces were children ho
was getting -f 100 a week as a star in
Australia. IMr. Cardon was a leading
member of the famous James W. Wal
lack. E. L. iDnvcnport combination, nnd
was for Pinny years one of the foremost
players In the noted stock company of
the old California theater. This srason
Charles ill. Hanford. Ellhu R. Ppencer
nnd Nora OMirlen joint stars were so
fortunate ns to be able to engage him
for their company. He will play An
tonio In the "Merchant of Venice"

Thursday evening at the Academy of
Music the new comedy, "Miss Hnrum
Scarum," will bo given. It will Intro
duce 'Frank Dnane and Mis
Amy Ie, who are supported by
oi Ftrotis company. Miss Amy
Lee Is a remarkably handsome little
woman, petite In figure, gifted with a
magnificent voice and a personality
hard to explain. Her coquetish ways,
her dash and chic manner, are natural
gifts, but which sre very essential to
a true artiste. IFrank Donne, whose
mission It Is to keep the audience In a
roar of laughter, ably sustains his role.
Corslcnn Brothers nt Bovls'.
The current three days' attraction
nt this house is Harrison J. Wolfe In
the "Corsican Brothers," Dumas' great
play. IMr. Wolfe has an excellent repu
tation, and will, without doubt, ac
quaint himself well. We are assured
that his supporting company Is capa
ble and well balanced. Under such
conditions we nntlolpate a fine perform
ance. 'Midnight Flood" was a great
drawing card. People were turned
away at every evening performance;
and on Saturday evening all records
were broken.

LUTHERANS WON.
Another Denomination Interfered with
Their llungnrian Work in Peckvllle.
Peckville Hungarians have had a
stormy road In their efforts to build a
church. The foundation Is completed,
or nearly so, but the foreigners have
been pulled this way and that through
the efforts of different denominations
to control them.
The work of organization was begun
through the assistance and guidance
of the Lutherans. Another denomina
tion tben began a proselyting effort to
control the work and the Hungarians
were almost ready to give up in dis
traction until recently, when they de
cided to act as the Lutherans directed.
Rev. Edwin Lunn Miller, pastor of
Holy Trinity Lutheran church, of
Seranton, preached to them yesterday.
