KKOGH RETTBXS HOME.
Nothing ladaunted lie Will Battle Again
at the First Opportunity.
Jerome Keoeh returned yesterday
frum KMItihiiiit xiiillinir lust as uleus-
anlly as If lie hud won the bis pool
mutch. Although again uereutea uy
the chainnlun. he Is mure thuil ever
satlslled that he Is the better player,
uiul Intends to elve him another battle
ut the first opportunity.
To a Tribune reporter he said that 111s
wretched showing of the first night,
when he mude only 128 balls to Clear
water's 210. and which virtually lost
him the contest, was due in a great
JEROME R. K BOG II.
measure to the fact that he could not
get a table to practice on that wus
anything like the one he hod to play on.
The table used in the contest was sent
on from Chicago by the Brunswlck-Balke-Collender
company and was sup
piled by new cloths, cushions and ivory
balls. Clearwater's backers set up an
exactly similar table In the East End
for their man to practice on. Keogh
could get nothing but the ordinary 5 by
10 foot table, with large pockets to do
his training on, and as a consequence
he was very weak until he got used to
the table. The fact that he defeated
Clearwater in the second and third
nights' play goes to prove that his ex
planation is very probably the right
one.
Keogh had the crowd with him from
the beginning, and during the second
and third nights it fairly went wild
over his nervy up-hllt work. His cool
ness was made the chief feature of all
the newspaper reports of the contest.
Here Is the way one of the Pittsburg
Sunday papers headed Its report of the
contest: "Nervy Mr. Keogh. He (Save
Clearwater Quite a Chase Last Night.
The Ravenna, Ohio, Man Is Still Cham
pion, Although He Looked Like a De
feated Man at One Stage. The Most
Wonderful Exhibition of Nerve Ever
Seen in This City Given by the Scranton
Lad."
That Keogh himself is not the only
one who thinks he Is better than Clear
water is evidenced by the fact that one
of Clearwater's backers came to Keogh
after the game and told him he would
back him for any amount ot money,
against Clearwater or anybody else.
RESULT OF ENTERPRISE.
Remarkable Increase in the Business of
Well-Known Scranton Merchants.
We are at all times pleased to notice
the success of-our merchants; It Indi
cates the prosperity of the entire city
when our business men push out Into
larger store rooms. The Increase of the
business of Mears & Hagen during the
last year has been remarkable. lMt
summer they found It necessary to en
large their rpom and within six months
are compelled, In order to properly serve
their customers, to add a much larger
addition to their store. They now oc
cupy one of the finest store rooms in
the city, fronting fifty feet on Lacka
wanna avenue, ,aml extending back
one hundred and fifty feet. It Is the
largest store room on the avenue, and
Is handsomely fitted up, containing all
the modern conveniences for the use
of their customers and themselves. This
firm has made a reputation for keeping
a stock of goods, selected with the
greatest care and taste. The goods 011
their counters prove that the buyers
were posted In regard to the lutest
styles and quality of goods ptirchused.
No shoddy, everything Just as repre
sented. They will now carry the most
complete line of dry goods to be found
In the city, and their customers will be
served by experienced, polite add ac
commodating clerks, who find it no
trouble to show goods. We wish them
success In their venture, and bespeuk
for them a greatly Increased patron

"Princess Rosebud" Will Be an Enter
tainment Well Worth Attending.
The musical extravaganza, "Princess
Rosebud," which will be given on
March 26 and 27 for the benefit of the
Rescue mission Is a very Interesting en
tertainment, and judging from the suc
cessful rehearsals which are being con
ducted by Mrs. M. C. Hrandaniore, Mrs.
Edith Riehards-Heckel and Mrs. F. W.
Lange, it will be well presented.
It is a fairy story told In tuneful
song, with picturesque accessories.
young boys and girls making up the
entire cast. Tne heroine of the story
is Princess Rosebud, who, at the age
of 5, was left an orphan In charge of her
Uncle Crockeryware. The crown of the
kingdom of Hango Waneo was the le
gitimate Inheritance of Rosebud, but
Crockeryware, her guardian, acting as
regent, Dy crart placed the crown on
his own head and allowed the little
princess to wander out in the woods,
without escort, where she disappeared.
The hero is Prince Curley, who is also
deprived of his kingdom through the
wicked machinations of his uncle, who
ascends the throne and afterwards
tries to compel the prince to marry his
ungracious daughter. The prince's
god-mother. Fairy Whitewand, comes
on tne scene and after the princess and
prince suffer many trials and tribula
tions the good fairy succeeds in restor
ing the prince to his kingdom and mar
rying him to the Princess Rosebud.
The many beautiful situations which
the extravaganza permits will be pre
sented in an eiaooraie manner.

ren was then as now chief counsel for
the defendants. At that trial, which
lasted the greater part of a week, the
Jury disagreed.
Miss Dickinson was represenieu 111
court yesterday morning by Attorneys
J. Asplnwall Hodge and J. M. Fergu
son, of New York, and Horace E. Hand,
of this city. Major Warren argued for
a continuance of the case. He stated
that by reason of the unavoitianie ao
sence of two Important witnesses the
defense was unable to gro to trial. One
of these witnesses is Mls Susan Dick
inson, of this city, who last week fell
nnd broke her wrist. Her injury and
the condition of her health, he sold,
were such as would render it unsafe
for her to attend court. The other wit
ness who is unuble to attend Is Mrs.
Marsh, of Tioga county, who Is also
"MOTION FOR A CONTINUANCE.
Attorney Hodge, counnel for Miss
Dickinson, the plaintiff, opposed the
motion for a continuance in an argu
ment which lasted half an hour. He
stated that he had made a proposition
to Major Warren to accept the deposi
tions of the two absent witnesses,
which could be taken at their homes.
Judge Bufllngton granted a continu
ance of the case until 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, at which time he asked that
counsel present affidavits to sustain
their contentions.
Later In the morning Major Warren
filed the affidavit of Oeorge B. Thomp
son, one of the defendants, setting forth
the truth of the statements made by
Mr. Warren in his argument and also
the affidavit of . Dr. H. D. Gardner
who is Miss Susan Dickinson's
attending physician. Mr. Ferguson,
of counsel for Miss Dickinson, took
the affidavits and from them filed one
In rebuttal. The affidavit states that
the Injuries which Miss Susun Olckin
son received are not such as would pre
vent her from coming" Into court and
nlv In n testimony In the case.
When court convened at 2 o'clock
In the afternoon argument was re
sumed on the motion of Major War
ren to continue the case. Mr. Hodge,
attorney for Miss Anna Dickinson,
asked that Dr. Gardner. Miss Susan
Dickinson's physician, be brought into
court for examination before Judge
Bufllngton. His request was compiled
with and Dr. Gardner was subjected to
a searching cross-examination by Mr.
Hodge on the statements which he had
made In his affidavit In respect to the
physiclal condition of Miss Dickinson,
one of the absent witnesses.
HODGE WANTED CONDITIONS.
At the conclusion of the examina
tion Mr. Hodee moved that a contlnu
ance should not be granted unless the
defendants agree to stipulate that in
case of the death of any of the defend
ants the action shall not abate but
shall be against the personal represen
tat Ives of the deceased and that the
defendants Hliull also pay all the costs
and disbursements to which the plain
tiff has been put by reason of said
continuance. In case the court saw fit
to order a continuance, Mr. Hodge also
asked that it be made to the Septem
ber term of court, which meets In Wll-
llamsport, or else to a special term of
court, ordered for the purpose or try
ing this case and to be held in this
city.
Judge Bufflngton granted the contin
uance asked for by Major Warren, but
reserved decision on the questions of
making the personal representatives of
the defendants who muy die In the
meantime responsible In the action and
also mi the question of compelling the
defendants to pay the costs incurred
by the plaintiff by reason or the con
tinuance. The case of Mrs. Rlla F. Oullck,
widow of the lute Dr. V. M. Gulick,
against the Fidelity and Cusualty In
surance company of New York was
continued by agreement. It Is an ac
tion to recover on nn insurance policy
held by the late Dr. Oullck. Major War
ren represented Mrs. (iulirk In the
prosecution of her claim. The coutlnu
unee is preliminary to a settlement of
the cuse, and it will probably never
again appear on the list.
JOSEPH TOMARRO TRIED.
Joseph Tomarro was Irled In the
I'nlted States district court for fraudu
lently securing mail from the Pittston
postofTice uddressed to lsadore Jurod.
Toinarro was defended by John T.- Mar
tin, of this city. District Attorney Hall
prosecuted the case. The charge
against Tomnrro Is that he Impersonat
ed Jurod and thereby secured an Inter
national money order for $7 addressed
to the latter. The order was never
cashed, but was found among Tomar
ro's effects by Postofllce I nspector Gor
man. Isaac Steinberg, who frequently
acts as Interpreter In the Lackawanna
county courts, was a witness for the
prosecution. On his direct examina
tion he testified that Tomarro had con
fessed to him in jail that he had taken
the order and endeavored to have it
cashed at the postofllce.
. On cross-examination by Mr. Martin
he was roughly handled. He admit
ted having received a dollar from the
defendant for which he was to go to
Pittston and get the defendant's
brother to help him. Mr. Martin also
tried to entrap him Into admitting that
he offered to secure bail for the prisoner
for $200, but Steinberg: denied this.
Judge Bufllngton finally put a stop to
this sort of cross-examination. The
jury found Tomarro not guilty.
Charles Perrone and Charles Paltnl
erl were tried in the district court for
passing counterfeit money In Pittston
on Jan. 14, last. They jvere defended
by Attorneys M. H. McAnlff and W.
H. Gillespie, whose admission to prac
tice in the court was secured on mo
tion of A. J. Colborn, shortly before the
case was called. Assistant District At
torney Griffith conducted the prosecu
tion and opened the case for the gov
ernment. The defendants are charged

tioned, given in exchange for merchan
dise at the stores of Max Ludwig and
Oreenwood & Berg, in Pittston, two
spurious five dollar bills.
TESTIMONY OF MAX UJDWIQ.
Max Ludwig was the first witness
for the prosecution. He testified that
Perrone, on January 14, last, proffered
him a five-dollar bill in payment for a
fifty-cent pocket knife. His suspicion
as to the genuineness of the bill was
aroused and he took It to the nearby
bank whose cashier pronounced It
counterfeit. He gave the bill hack to
Perrone who raid he got It In New
York with Rood coin 11 ml I.udwls gave
him back the counterfeit bill. Perrone
left the store and was followed by

store of Greenwood & Hern. Mean
while suspicion was illrrcted to Pal
mier! in another quarter of the town
where he presented a counterfeit bill
of similar denomination and appear
ance Special Olilcer Brown later ar

before Alderman Thomna S. Loflus
where they were searched and a coun
terfeit five dollar bill found in the pos
session of each.

MCl'LLOUGH AND WINTERS
CASES.
A continuance was granted In the
case against McCullough and Winters,
charged with robbing the postofllce In
South Wllllamsport. Howard Johnson,
of Somerset, who was charged with
embezzling $520.37 from the postofllce
in that town, was found guilty.
Orr McComben, of Palatia, Erie coun
ty, pleaded guilty to robbing the post
nlllce of his native place. He was re
manded for sentence. Harry Holland
pleaded guilty to stealing a letter con
taining $1.12 from the Monongahela
postofllce. He was also remanded for
sentence. A Jury found Nelson Wll
trant guilty of breaking Into the post
ofllce at Wooddale, Fayette county, and
S. C. Brooks was convicted of Imper
sonating a government officer. In the
case of the former sentence was de
ferred and Brooks was discharged with
the advice to go and sin no more. These
were all of the cases disposed of in
the district court.
The grand Jury found a true bill
against Edward 8. Kernan, charged
with the larceny of government prop
erty. ,
PHILIP WIRTiTtHK YICTOR.
Defeated Fred Phillips in the Eleventh
V) ard by Thirteen Votes.
A great victory was won yesterday
bv the Republicans of tne -Kievemn
ward in electing their candidate. Philip
Wlrth, to the unexpired term of Rob
ert Robinson In common council. Mr.
Wlrth defeated Fred Phillips, the Dem
ocratlc candidate, by 13 votes.
The balloting from the opening of
the polls in the morning until 4 o'clock
In the afternoon was In favor of Phil
lips. His friends and supporters were
on the battle ground early and whooped
things up In great style. Armed with
belief that they had things all their
own way, It was a great surprise In
the luter part of the afternoon when
Mr. Wlrth and hia friends rallied
around and got down to work.
The most active endeavor of the Re
publicans was In the First district. The
vote there was: Wlrth, 161; Phillips,
171. It required the most energetic
hustling to keep Phillips' majority so
close. The vote In the Second district
was: Wlrth 133; Phillips, 83. This is the
district that elected him. In the Third
district Wlrth got 80 and Phillips, 87,
The total vote was: Wlrth, 354; Phil
lips, 341.
The victory was In great measure due
to the untiring and voluntary efforts
of the Scranton Athletic club. Mr.
Wlrth Is one of its leading members
and was for over ten years its cap
tain. He Is a splendid athlete and has
won many prizes in outdoor games.
As he stated in a letter addressed to
the voters of the ward he will to the
best of his ability, strive to perform his
duty and represent his constituents In
a creditable manner. He is married, Is
about 35 years of age, and lives at
the corner of Cedar avenue and Hick
ory street. His employment Is that of
car repairer In the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western shops. Among his
large circle of acquaintances he is re
spected for his manly and upright final
Itles.
It Is owing to his popularity that he
turned the Democratic tide to Repub
lican victory. 1'nder ordinary rlrcum
stanees the Eleventh ward is Demo
cratlc by 175 majority.'
A WAYFABERSMIOME.
Hoard of Charities Considering the Ad'
visability of Kstablishlng One.
The board of associated charities met
In the mayor's office last Might in regu
lar semi-monthly session. There were
present President J. K. Cohen. T. J,
Moore, T. J. Kelly, W. Gaylord Thomas,
John (iiUDons, Jtev. Rogers Israel, Mrs,
Duggun, the society's agent, and Miss
Klesel, the nurse employed by the so
ciety. Rev. Mr. Haiighton, of Potts-
vllle, Pa., a guest of Rev. Rogers Israel
was also an interested observer of the
board's transactions.
A call for reports of committees failed
to elicit uny formal reports but brought
forth many Interesting discussions on
work undertaken or contemplated by
the association. Rev. Rogers Israel
siiid that the committee to which was
referred the project of cultivating sub
urban lots by the Indigent had declared
that the plan was impracticable for the
reason that It was Impossible to secure
ground. He promised a more extended
report when the chairman of the com
mittee, W. T. Smith, could be present.
Perhaps the most Important subject
discusped was a plan of establishing a
Wayfarers' home, which ltev. Mr. Is
rael said had been suggested to him by
Mr. Sanborn, superintendent of the
Rescue mission. It was suggested that
Whyte's hotel on Franklin avenue, now
vacant, could be secured for this pur
pose and it was- advocated that the
buildings in the rear could be used as
workshops where persons applying for
lodgings could be set to work to defray
the expenses of their entertainment.
The matter was referred ' J the relief
committee to which was added Rev.
Rogers Israel.
Mrs. Duggan, the society's agent,
made the following report: Cases In
vestigated, 38; worthy of assistance. 27;

Hospital Surgeons I'uable to Say
Whether or Not the Moo Will Re-cover-ltuthvcn
Will Remain la
the City for Some Time.
After thetdorm comes a calm. Thines
have returned to their normul order In
Duuinore and the Hutliven riot hus
ceased to excite the minds of the resi
dents of that borough. Seclul Olilcer
Pieu Minn, the ex-piiest s body guard.
Is in a doubtful condition ut the l.atku-
wanna hospitul Dr. Blunchurd says
the wounded man Is resting comfott
ubly uitd what Is most to be feared Is
that blood poisoning may develop. If
the bullet becomes incapsulated there
Is no danger. It will be a few days yet
before Mink's chances of recovering
can be correctly estlmnted. Keller and
sagruves are getting along well.
.No arrests were made yesterday of
any of the men charged with partici
pating In the shooting affray. The
warrants were turned over to the Dun
more police by County Detective Ley
shnn and up to a late hour lust night
none of the suspects had been taken
Into custody. Christy Walsh, against
whom Ruthven lias made a statement
charging him with having done some
shooting, was around the streets of
Dunniore and did not appear to be In
any way evading arrest. Peter O'Horo
of Ward street, and James Sweeney,
after whom a search was made Mon
day night, have been keeping In the
background.
There was a rumor that a young man
named Murphy, living in Sport Hill,
was shot during the riot but investiga
tion has failed to authenticate it. Dr.
F. W. Winters, who treated Keller and
Seagraves, says that the bullet which
is embedded in the former's knee, may
cause stiffening of the Joint. The
wound on Hea grave's ankle Is super
ficial and he will be all i'ght In a few
days.
As stated yesterday the Dunmore po
lice were not on the scene when the
shooting happened nor were) they
around for a long time afterward. It
is a most difficult matter to harmonize
the conflicting stories concerning the
affray, and no one seems to know
definitely who did the Bhootlng. Forty
or fifty shots were fired, but who tired
them Is a question.
Mink says If he sees the man who
shot him he will readily recognise him;
beyond that he knows nothing ot the
man's identity. Ruthven was at his
boarding house as usual yesterday and
gave out information that he intends
to remain In town for some time yet.
At an early hour yesterday morning
F. E. Wagner and John Qulnn, two
residents of the borough, became en
gaged In a heated debate about the
rioting. Qulnn was charged with
threatening to shoot Wagner and
Special Officer Warner, who was near
by, arrested the former and brought
him before Justice of the Peace Rob
ert Scott. Qulnn arranged to enter ball
but the case was settled upon the pay
ment of costs by the defendant.
