Yesterday Afternoon and Evening.
Itlce nnd Harton's Hose Hill Kngllsh
Polly compuny ijuve a line variety per
formance at Davis' theater yesterday
The company arrived here at 1.1.1 In
the afternoon from Pittsburg, but there
was no evidence of that tired feeling
In the performance. On the contrary,
all was hiiup, vim, spice, novelty, and
In fact all that goes toward pleasing; a
Davis' theater audience.
The best single feature of the Bhow
is the knock about work of Crawford
and Manning. The curtain raises on a
pretty nautical scene, with a dozen
ladles dressed In various colored sailor
suits on the stage. A "trip to Newport"
Is made with an eclat of mirth and
merriment. Then cpmes the special
ties and they are all so good It would
be vain to particularize. The buxlug
match between the boys should be cut
out.
The show closes with a melange of
clever inarches, pretty costumes, strik
ing groups and chorus singitig. under
the title of "Seaside Frolics." The
performance will be repeated tlila and
tomorrow evenings with afternoon
matinees, and crowded houses are sure
to greet it .
J. P. Scanlon, of this city, is with the
company as stage manager nnd tru im
port t ion agent.
REYNOLDS, THE MESMKU1ST.
Opened a Week's Engagement ot the
I rothlngham Last Night.
Prof. John Reynolds, the well known
mesmerist, opened a week's engage
ment at the Frothingham last evening
before a large audience. Subjects were
scarce and the professor had some diffi
culty in getting volunteers to go on
the stage. For that reason the enter
tainment dragged somewhat. The sub
jects who volunteered their services
were not easily controlled and the de
monstrations of the professor's power
were not entirely satisfactory to him.
Andrew Logan was the one most
completely under Prof. Reynold's
power and he did any number of
laughable things. One time he Imag
ined that he was lilondin walking a
tight rone across Nkigaga Falls. His
efforts to keen himself balanced on an
Imaginary rope were mostludiclnusand
kept the audience convulsed with
laughter. Daniel Jordan and John Jor
dan were the best of the other subjects.
Misa Lulu Du Hols was the only lady
who volunteered to go on the stage and
Professor Reynolds was unable to get
her under mesmeric influence.
Before the entertainment closed the
professor said that usually on the first
night of any of his engagements it Is
difficult to get good subjects but after
that they are usually plentiful. The
absence of the Lawrence orchestra, of
which Prof. Lindsay Is leader, was
greatly' remarked. Their presence

FATAL VORDS PRONOUNCED
Judge H. iM. Edwards Sentenced
Crczenzo Merolo to Death.
PRISONER MICH APPECTED
Lost Ills Self-Posscsloa-Whea Asked If
lie Had Anything to Say Why Sen
tence Should Not He Pronuliiiu.il
Ha Said lie Had Not.
Murderer Cressemo Merolo was sen
tenced to death yesterday morning by
Judge Kdwurds.
The prisoner was brought down from
the county Jail by Warden Jay and
soon after court was convened District
Attorney Jones moved for sentence.
Merolo wus led from the prisoner's
dock and he walked before the bar of
Justice with a cowering demeanor.
Judge fid wards asked the murderer
If he had anything to say why the sen
tence of the court should not be passed
upon hhn according to law. The reply
was through Interpreter Morisinl. as
follows: "I have nothing to say now;
I have already spoken." Judge F.d
wards then pronounced Merolo'g doom.
While sentence was being imposed the
prisoner stood like one who had given
up all hope. His face lost all its self
possessed expression and he quailed
under the words of the court. This is
what Judge Edwards said:
There Is no question In the mind of the
court, each of the Judges, but that the
verdict was absolutely Just, and that any
other verdict would have been a miscar
riage of Justice. 1 will not discuss the case
any longer, but 1 will proceed to pro
nounce sentence. It Is certainly 'not a
pleasant duty to sentence a man on a
verdict of murder in the first degree, but
It Is the Judgment of the luw, and we are
simply here to execute tho law.
The sentence of the court is that you.
Crcssenxo Merolo, be taken hence to the
Lackawanna county prison, there to re
main till the time shall be fixed by execu
tive warrant for your execution: that then
you be taken to the place of execution
within the walls or yard of suld prison
ami there to be ha lived by the neck till
you are dead. And may (Sod have mercy
upon your soul.
Attorney Joseph V. Brown was pres
ent as one of counsel for the defendant
while sentence was being Imposed.
Merolo was Immediately tuken hack
to the county Jail.
NEW ALLIANCE FORMED.
Fellows,' Scranton und lloland Hold a
Number-of Conferences.
Within the lust few days there have
been a number of conferences between
Congressman J. A. Scranton, ex-Mayor
John II. Fellows and C. O. Holnnd,
Democratic candidate for city treas
urer. One of these conferences was
held yesterday nnd plans to secure the
election of the Democratic candidates
were considered It has been current
ly reported that James (5. Huiley. leiii
ncrutic candidate for mayor, also at
tended one of the meetings but this
story could not be verified.
Mr. Fellows more, than a year ago
renounced Republicanism when he
openly attempted to secure the defeat
of Republican candidates nnd actually
cluimed to have succeeded in defeating
Thomas 1). Duvies for county treasurer.
Congressman Scrnnlon also changed
his political faith a short time ago
and the Democratic leaders saiy that
from now on until election time Mr.
Fellows and Mr. Scranton will be found
working BhoulUer to shoulder for the
success of the Democratic candidates.
It was reported yesterday thut Mr.
Scranton had made an alliance with
the Democratic leaders by which he
hoped to retrieve his waning political
power. Just what the Democrats pro
pose to do for Mr. Scranton was kept
a closely guarded secret.
MORE LAND FOR THE PARK.
Diamond at the Itnso flail flronnds Will
Ho Chanead.
The park plans of the Scranton base
ball club management will have to be
slightly changed through Its acquiring
possession yesterday of CO additional
feet of land on the west side of the
park and 20 feet on the south side. The
diamond will be laid out so that a line
from the plate over the second base
will point more toward tho east than
at present, or the dlnmond will retain
Its present directions but be moved 2ti
or 2." feet farther west nnd 10 feet far
ther away from the grandstand. Prob
ably the latter change will be made.
It developed yesterday that Manager
McDermott's trouble In signing Pitcher
"Dick" Brown was caused by a claim
of over $100 held ngalnst him by the
Baltimore club. The Scranton club has
paid the claim and will deduct the
amount from Brown's salary.
There appears to be little or no foun
dation for the general Impression thnt
Massey Is unwilling to play here. He
Is held in Carbondule by contract and
reserve and could not sign with Scran
ton If he so desired. If the state
league falls to organlr.e. or If Carbon
dale will consent to release Massey it
is probable that he will wear a Scran
ton uniform. At present first base Is
the only position which la pructlcnlly
unfilled. '
Manager McDermott Is now In Fall
River. He will be here next week tc.
remain permanently.
DECISION IN A COAL Sl'IT.

pany was complainant and Hughes and

pute being the title of six acres of coal
Innd in Carbondule. Judge ciunster
handed down an opinion yesterday,
deciding against tho company and or
dering them to pay all the costs of the
court In the case.
In 1S:!.r one Sandy McDonald squatted
on the land In dispute nnd fenced it in.
There are four veins of coal underlying
the tract. The top vein is seventy-five
feet from the surface and Is two feet
thick; the next vein Is fifteen feet deep
er und Is eight feet thick; the third
vein is three feet below the second and
Is six feet thick; the fourth vein Is
twenty-five feet farther down and Is
three feet thli.
The railroad company mined all
around the acres. They claimed title

ous possession of the tract since lMSO,
she and those from whom she de
rived the title.

for several years, manufactures freight
and coal cars, car wheels, castings and
bar Iron and employs from 1,000 to 1,400

Mr. Zehnder is about 40 years of age
nnd a self-made man. Ten or twelve
years ago while general secretary of
the Young Men's Christian association

energetic nnd pushing business men
whose alertness has niude Scranton
