ARE FOOLS FOR A NIGHT
Licderkranz Throw Dignity to the
Kinds and Make Merry.
CAKX1YAI. OP FUN AXD FROLIC
No One Who Woold Not Confess Himself
a loot and Wear a Fool's
Cap Could (Set in-Every
Sense Gratified.
The fifth annual "Carneval-Sitzung."
the ante-lenten Jubilation of the l.ie
derkranz, took place last night In Mu
sic hall. The festivities took on the na
ture of a fool's carnival. No one was
admitted who did not wear a gaudy
foul's cap and bells, and no one, It was
understood, could take umbrage at
anything that was said of him, or any
Joke that was played on him.
Foui hundred persons, about equally
divided between ladles and gentlemen,
were in attendance. Delegations were
present from the New York Elchen
kranz: the Concordia society. of Wilkes
Uarre; the Turn-Vereln, of Wllkes
Barre, the Saengerruiule, the Arlon so
ciety, the Turn-Vereln and the tii'utll
Vereln, of this city. Each of the visit
ing organizations had special pluces as
signed to him at one or the other of
eight long tables, which extended the
whole length of the hall, their places
being designated by large placards
bearing the society's names. All the
tables were rilled and the gallery also
contained a goodly number, and as the
decorations were profuse and the head
of each person present was surmount
ed by one of the gaily colored fool's
caps with their tinkling bells, the
sight presented was certainly of a car
nival character.
Uu the stage was seated the president
of the carnival and his attendants,
members of the committee of arrange
ments, many of them dressed in fan
tastic costumes. Two heralds, attired
as court Jesters, acted as masters of
ceremonies, carrying out the behests
of the president and engineering the
practical Jokes. Bauer's orchestra oc
cupied the left side of the gallery and
played the marches and accompanied
the singing.
Mummler President of the Carnival.
The fun making commenced at 9
o'clock with the entrance of the presi
dent of th carnival, Frank Ilummler,
and the "Klelne Rath." or committee
In charge of the arrangements. The
committee was made up to represent
the salvation army, a German band,
bootblacks, and the like. They were
arrested by two policemen and sen
tenced to occupy places at the table on
the stage. Then the various fun mak
ers and those who were designed to be
made butts of the fun makers, were
sent for in turn. The two heralds
would go after the person whose name
would be called, and as he was escort
ed through the hull to the stage the
orchestra would play the "Fool's
March" and the audience would rise
and clap hands In time with the music.
while from every side gibes and Jeers
would greet the victim.
First of all the keeper of records, Fred
Hummler, read the minutes of the past
year, which were neatly turned In
rhyme and fairly bristled with witty
Jokes at the expense of the Licderkranz
members. Louis Relchert recited an
original poem on the "Ancient and
Modern Woman," and John Freder
icks amused everybody with a funny
recitation.
Original songs, composed especially
for the occasion, and containing topi
cal bits, were sung at Intervals, and at
the conclusion of each the audience
cried for the author. The president
would then accuse some one or another
of being guilty of the composition, and
he would be escorted to the stage and
complimented or rebuked, as it suited
the whim of the president. Among
those who were accused of being topi
cal snug writers 'were City Controller
Fred Wldinayer, F. L. Wormser, Albert
Zenke, Frank Leltner and J. Bruner.
The visiting delegations were earn In
turn called to the stage and puld their
respects to the carnival president. The
spokesman extended ' a greeting, a
rhyme, and It was answered in kind
by the president. Then they would ex
change hats and drink out of the huge
silver loving cup which was imbibed
from by all who for one reason or the
other were summoned to the stage.
Some of the Pun Workers.
Much fun was created ty J. Bruner,
M. Weiss. Will Enrich and Henry
Klasen. Mr. Bruner represented a fe
male policeman; Mr. Weiss imperson
ated Ahlwardt, the Jew baiter; Mr. Em
rlch told of the troubles of a grocer
from Nannygoat Hill, and Mr. Klasen
started out to tell of his own troubles
but the management cut him short by
dropping on him a large extinguisher
which had served during the evening
as a canopy for the rostrum from which
the speeches were made. While Mr.
Weiss was taking the robe of Ahlwardt
he was assailed from the Door and bal
conies with a fusllade of vegetables
from three ardent Hebrews gotten up
in outlandish costumes. One of the
best hits of the evening was the pres
entation of a miner's lamp filled with
oil to Edmund Bartl.
During the entire evening attentive
waiters were on every hand to see that
none of the merrymakers lacked for
anything that would tend to make the
Inner man happy. The festivities con
cluded at 12 o'clock.
The masters of ceremonies were Ed
mund Bartl and Franz Becker and the
committee of arrangements consisted
of Frank Hummler, chairman; Her
man Landau. secretary; Fred L.
Wormser, Frank Leltner, Thoma
Spelcher.Charles Falkowsky, E. Moses.

Brunner, M. Weiss, Fred Hummler,

ished a 38-callbre six-shooter at the
clerks and customers. There were
about six persons present at the time
and the pell mell occasioned by their
hurried escarie from the danger of the
lunatic's weapon brought Patrolman
Victor Sartor and three citizens, Henry
Klein, Henry Kemmerer and Otto
Welsscup to the store.
The clerks and customers were be
leagured behind counters and piles of
merchandise. Cordner made no at
tempt to shoot, but struck the weapon
against the wall and bent the trigger
guard so that he could not shoot, then,
even If he tried. While the firearm was
net disabled, he had not made any ef
fort to exhibit his marksmanship.
The officer and three citizens had a
difficult Job to convey him to the po
lice station, a half block away. He
kicked, rolled on the ground and re
fused to be taken. Being an able
bodied fellow to deal with, the quar
tette had their hands quite full, and it
required their utmost efforts to get

FOUL PLAY IDEA REJECTED
Evidence at Inquest Does Nut Change
Status of McHugh Case.
HE KICKED THE LAMP OVER
Stories. Told by Inmates Leave no Boom
for Doubt Concerning Ills Fearful
Heath- Proprietress Held in
Hail to Appear at Court.
Inquiring into the manner in which
Richard J. McHugh came to such an
untimely end. the Jury empaneled by
Coroner Longstreet met at his otllce at
9.30 yesterday morning to hear the tes
timony. The police were expected to
have the four women who lived In the
house brought down to relate their
stories, but the quartette refused to
walk and the police refused to get a cab.
Dr. Longstreet and the Jury went to
the central station and the Inquest was
then conducted In the officers' assembly
room. Richard J. McHugh, the West
Side saloonkeeper, who is a cousin of
the deceased, was present, and he was
prepared to have the matter thoroughly
sifted with a view to finding out whether
the allegation was true or groundless
that one of the women threw a lamp
at the young man, and whether or not
there was foul play connected with the
happening.
Mr. McHugh assumed this theory on
two or three grounds: first, that no
word was given to the firemen that the
young man wns In the building, and
second, that the room whore he was
found was perfectly unscathed from the
fire and even the bed clothes on which
he luld were not singed This laid evi
dence of susnlcious circumstances. He
was actuated by a desire solely to learn
If the truth was given when the de
ceased was charged with kicking the
lamp over himself.
Satisfied There Was no I oil I Play.
Last nlarht Mr. McHugh was pretty
positively decided that the event oc
curred In the way It has already been
stated, aid he will not make any fur
ther effort to follow up the foul play
theory.
Gertie West, the proprietress of the
house, was the llrst witness called by
the coroner. She said she knew noth
ing about the matter nt all; she went
to the theuter and was out after the
show tuking a lunch with a
"gentleman" friend. The lire was
extinguished when she reached the
house. Her eyes were red with weep
ing. No further questions were asked
of her.
Florence Cassldy, or Flanaghnn, was
the next witness. This Is the one who
was In the parlor last with the de
ceased. He came to the door a short
while before 11 o'clock Tuesday night
and when she refused him admittance,
he threatened to kick In the door. She
refused to let him In and he forced an
entrance in spite of her.
He was under the Influence of liquor
to a great extent, she said, and when
he wus In the parlor she left to go to
the kitchen, llenrlns a crash and
knowing It to he the lamp, she rushed
to his assistance and dashed water on
him: afterward she tried to tear off
his burning clothing. The Cassldy wo
man is middle-aged and very dissipated
looking.
She Was In Her Konra Heading.
May Jones, another of the Inmates,
was the third witness. She was read
ing a novel In her room when Uie fire
originated. When she tried to get out
McHugh, she said, stood In the door of
the room where the tiro was; his cloth
ing was ablnze and he tried to hinder
her from making her escape down the
stairway '
Lou Williams was the fourth of the
women. She and the preceding witness
are young. Miss Williams Informed
the Jury that she was In her room dress
ing to shake the dust of the town from
her heels nnd was bound for Wllkes
Harre. When she was getting out Mc
Hugh was in the passage way and his
clothes were a mass of Names. He was
running toward the kitchen when she
last sa'v him.
Lieutenant John Davis was the last
witness and he said that after the
fire was extinguished, the Cassldy
woman told hi in that McHugh was In
the building and was probably burned
to death or smothered by that time.
The lieutenant investigated and found
that her conjectures were correct.
Cassldy Woman Recalled.
At the request of Mr. McHugh the
Cassldy woman was recalled by the
coroner and the question was put to
her whether or not she threw the lamp
at the deceased. She denied It em
phatically and the hearing adjourned
until 2 o'clock this afternoon at the
i ourt house. Mr. McHugh may then
bilng forward any evidence he may
hiive to offer in substantiation of the
foul play theory, but as stated In the
beginning of the story, he will not press
the matter any further.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, awaiting the arrival of
Miss Mary McHugh, sister of the de
ceased, from Baltimore, where she Is
attending a young ludles' seminary.
Burlnl will likely take place tomorrow
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.
Imedlately after testifying at the in
quest the four women were ushered
Into police court. Alderman Millar
gave them a hearing. Gertie West ad
mitted she was the proprietress and she
was held in the sum of (500 ball for her
appearance at court. The other women
were held in the sum of $200 apiece as
witnesses agalniit her. Louis Eppsteln
qualified as their bondsman and they
were released.
Alderman Millar served notice on
"Bob" Davis and Clara Welehel, the
ground floor tenants of the "Drug
Store," to fold their tents and steal out
with all theliasteot their command, or
they will be raided every time they em
bark In the business. The fire has put
an end to the resort upstairs unless the
owner should remodel the place for the
vile purpose.
(0MIXG ATTRACTIONS.
"A Social Highwayman," the highly
successful play In which the Holland
brothers will appear at the Frothlng
ham tonight, has everywhere scored an
instantaneous success, which has been
declared by more than one ordinarily
captious critic to rank with tire finest
dramatic productions of the season,
"The Prisoner of Zenda" and "Trilby."
For, while "A Social Highwayman" Is
an extraordinarily close adaptation
from the novelette of the same name,
published by the Llpplncotts, It Is said,
nevertltelees, to be bum upon entirely
original lines and possessed of extraor
dinary strength, which is produced
by the simple, direct and terse evolu
tion of Its plot, throbbing with melo
dramatic, emotional Interest, draped by
the decorous folds of the quiet man
ners and polite conversation of good
society. Such combination may scarce
ly appear creditable to the oftlme dis
appointed seeker of dramatic novelties,
but in this Instance the unexpected
seems to have happened.
; .
For this evening the attraction at the
Academy of Music will be Minnie Pal
mer In her new comedy opera, "The
School Girl." Not unnaturally our
theater-goers will expect to find Miss
Palmer revelling In scenes that allow
full play for that order of mingled Im
pudence and archness which forms so
important an element In an artiste's
"stock trade," so also will they look for
a sufficiency of song and a due allow
ance of dancing, and In neither of these
requirements will they be ulsappolnted.
Whether "Little Miss Loo" Is being
packed off to school by a mamma who
dreads the coming of a middle age,
whether the young lady, who is reauy
well on in her teens is philandering
with her sweetheart Jack, whether she
is plotting against the peace of mind
of her preceptor, in each and every case
the artist flings herself into her work
with all the energy at her command.
Comedian "Billy" Barry has 'many
new novelties to offer in the production
of his new play, "The Rising Genera
tion," which is easily the best Irlsn
comedy ever seen on an American
stage. It will be seen at the Academy
of Music Friday evening.
.
The demand for seats tor Lillian Rus
sell hus been very great already. Pa
trons of the Academy should be on
hand early Monday morning. Checks
will be given out at 8 and the sale of
seats opens at o'clock.
Much Interest is being taken here In
the forthcoming production of "A
Cracker Jack,", which will be presented
to the patrons of Davis' popular family
theater the last three evenings of this
week and the usual dally matinees. "A
Cracker Jack" played two very success
ful engagements at the Davis last sea
son, and made a pronounced lilt, and all
those who enjoy a good comedy drama,
with plenty of life and excitement, en
acted by a cast of excellent players,
should see this highly interesting and
picturesque play. The Interest of the
piece Is heightened by elaborate stage
settings and the excellent manner In
which It is presented.
SUPERIOR COURT ADJOURNS.

No session of the superior court was
