BASF BALL SCHEDULE.
An Excellent Comedy Produced by a Very
Competent Company of Players.
It was not a large but un exceedingly
well pleased audience that filed out of
the Academy of Music last evening at
the conclusion of "Our Flat." a comedy
that Is built on the proper lines to
achieve success with modern theater
goers. There nre few dull moments
during the progress of the comedy, and
but little more action could possibly
be crowded Into it.
The comedy deals with the unfor
tunate circumstance In which Mr. und
Mrs. Reginald Sylvester lind them
selves soon nfter murriage on account
of their straitened financial clrctiin
Ftunces. Sylvester is un author, who
earns little, and when he ma riled t lie
petted daughter of a wealthy man
against the hitter's wishes he found
father-in-law's door closed to himself
and wife. Eventually the parent Is
won over und prosperity smiles on tin
young people, but this does not occur
until the three nets of the comedy are
spent, und In the meantime there are
nil kinds of complicnihm for the loving i ,,..,

Scranton Wants Some Concession In the

Inquest In ths Case of John J. Kuftcr
Continued.
TOM DENIES THE SHOOTING
Kos kcough, frho Was with the le
ccused at the Time of the Shooting,
Identified Tonl ss the Asia II-aat-The
Funeral Yesterday.
There seems to be little, if any, doubt
In the minds of the authorities and
others conversant with the case, that
Sam Tonl, who is locked In the county
Jail, shot and killed John J. Rnfter.
The shooting took place In Old Forge
early In the month and Rafter died
Saturday at the home of his parents on
Wyoming uvenue, this city. Tonl. how
ever, haa astonished the jail officials
with the statement that he did not do
the shooting and lie clings to the asser
tion In a most determined manner, al
though there appeurs to be no doubt as
to his Rllllt.
It was expected that the story of the
crime would be completely told by eye
witnesses at the Inquest to have been
conducted by Coroner Longstreet last
night in the arbitration room In the
court house. But the witnesses did not
appear und the imiuest was postponed
until tomorrow night at S o'clock.
ROSS KEoI llli SAW IT.
Ross Keouidi. son of Justice of the
Peace Keourh. of I'ld Forge, was the
unfortunate Rafter's companion at tho
time he received his death wounds, nnd
was to have been subpoenaed by Coun
ty Detective Leyfchon before the latter
left for Philadelphia Monday. Keough
did not put in un uppearnnce.
Kcough immediately after the shoot
ing swore out the warrant on which
Ton! was urrested, nnd went with the
oillcer who served It. There was no
doubt or husitancy on the part of the
young man In polnthur out Tonl as the
man who had committed the deed. In
view of this very positive action and
evidence, it Is puzzling the otllctuhi b
know what the prisoner expects to gain
by his protestation tnnt he Is guiltless.

The olllcers und committeemen of the
Scranton. Hii. vi le club tire working with
a will to make a big success out of
the gymnastic exhibition to be given ill
the Fro'.hinghHin theater, Alarch 2,
by the gymnastic team of the Cnlvcr
slty of Pennsylvania. They feel san
guine of a favorable result ol' their
undertaking, nnd for reasons which
were very clearly set forth by a prom
inent m-mher of the club yesterday,
lie said. In conversation with a Trib
une reporter:
"Do you know that the Bicycle club
bus lost a good many hundred dollars
In Its many race meets and other pro
jects which were undertaken not for
the purpose of making large sums of
money, but were forwarded to stimu
late interest In legitimate sport, and to
advertise Scranton? Yes, that's u fnct.
Now that we are planning for the ap
pearance of the Pennsylvania gymnas
tic team here, we expect that the public
will give us a more liberal support
than on several occasions In the past.
"The club Isn't begging: It believes
It will be entitled to nil ami possibly
more than It gets. Tin; klrmess. for in
stance, Is an example. We gave free
the use of our club house, with Its
light and heat, which are 110 small
Items, for rehearsals for several weeks,
and on many occasions we have do
nated the hall, nnd In some cases the
entire building, for chnrltable uses. In
patronizing the Pennsylvania show
the public can return us some favors
and nt the same time be well enter
tained ns the exhibition Is 11 splendid
one, showing, as it does, what the pick
of tho best nthletes In the university
can do.
"If we make any money out of the
venture, it will be applied toward out
proposed addition In the club house.
The addition will cost $8,000. When It
is finished it will contain the largest
