MESSIAH MONDAY NIGHT.
There lias Boon a Vory Largs Sale of
Ticket for tho Event.
The sale of seata for "The Messiah"
at the Frothlngham on Easter Monday
night, April 6, has been very large, there
being less than one hundred seata re
maining unsold In the narouette and
balcony. The committee in charge has
been askd to reserve the first two rows
in the gallery, which will probably be
done. From a musical standpoint these
will be the best seats in the house. No
expense has been spared to present the
greatest of all oratorios in the finest
possible manner. The quartette of so
loists will undoubtedly be the finest ever
heard in scranton.
Mr. Bushnell Is the only one who has
been heard here before, bnt the others
also In the front rank of American
singers. Those who have heard Mme.
Blauvelt sing were disappointed at the
announcement that she had been or
dered by her physician to go abroad at
once, consequently preventing her ap
pearance, but Mme. Kathrln Hllke, who
takes her ulace. Is the possessor of a
magnificent soprano voice especially
adapted to oratorio music.
Haydn Evans heard her sing at
Wllkes-Barre last year in Haydn's "The
Sasons" and says of her: "Her rendition
of 'The Seasons' was equal to the work
of any soloist that they ever had. I re
gard her as one of the finest oratorio
gingers in the country." Miss Ruth
Thompson, who will sing the contralto
purts. Is a young lady from Brooklyn
whose singing has within the past two
years won her fame throughout the
east.
M'KINLEY THE TENOR.
Henry McKlnley is a tenor who has
made a name on both sides of the At
lantic and who has no superior in
America. His voice is capable of ex
pressing both depth of feeling,' as In
'Behold and See if There Be Any Sor
row Like Unto His Sorrow," and great
dramatic force, as in "Thou Shall Break
Them with a Rod of Iron," both of
which he will sing on Monday night.
Mr. Bushnell will be the guest of his
cousin, F, E. Piatt, treasurer of the
Suburban Electric ' Light company,
while he Is In the city. He has a bass
voice of great power and richness. The
programme which has Just been Issued
contains, besides the score, halftone pic
tures of the sollsts and a flash-light

POLICE PREVENT TROUBLE
t'fliy
Crowd ' Awaited tbe ' Close of
the Lecture.
RUTHVEN WAS AGAIN STONED
Nobody Waa Injnrcd-Elghtcca 'Patrol
men in Command of Chlef-of Police
Simpson on the Scene Sev
eral Stonea Were Thrown.
Ruthven, the lecturer, delivered an
address last night in Beers' hall on the
West Side, and although there was no
such rioting and tolence as recently
attended the man's appearance In Dun
inore and the North End. It was plain
that an outbreak was only prevented
by the presence of elKhteen police pa
trolmen commanded by Chief of Police
Simpson and Captain Edwards, of
headquarters, and Lieutenant Will
iams, of the West Side precinct. ,
A crowd of from twelve to fifteen
hundred persons, whoa sympathy
seemed about equally divided for and
against P.uthven, was gathered out
side the hall after the lecture. Ruth
ven was got aboard a car after a delay
of three-quarters of an hour. A mis
take was made in permitting the car
to leave without a larger police detail,
as stones were thrown from a group at
the corner of Jackson street and every
body inside the car threw themselves
on the floor for safety. At the junc
tion of West Lackawanna avenue and
Robinson street a crowd that evidently
meant mischief attempted to get on
board the car. but were prevented only
by the authoritative refusal of Captain
Edwards. This officer and Patrolman
Jones-were the only policemen on the
car.; i .
Ruthven and his body guard of four
men, when they left the car at Lacka
wanna and Franklin avenues, were
safely escorted to the latter's boarding
house on Franklin avenue near pruce
street, by Cat) tain Edwards. Lieuten
ant Davis and Patrolmen Reese Jones,
Walsh and Evans. The eight young
men .who had been prevented from
boarding the car on the West Lacka
wanna avenue hill had run after it and
caught up with Ruthven's party near
his boarding house. They nissea ana
cursed him in a muttering way and
followed him to the door, where they
were scattered by the police.
LARGE AUDIENCE HEARD HIM.
Ruthven's lecture was attended by
an audience that completely filled the
hall. He had been confined to his nea
since the night of the stone-throwing
In the North End. His head was ban
daged, he s:oke with an effort and In
other ways showed physical Buffering
from the assault of Tuesday nignt.
The subject matter of his address
was not of the extreme nature and
character which have featured some of
his previous addresses.
From the hour the lecture started, a
crowd began forming on the avenue
near the hall. At that time a dozen
patrolmen were held in reserve In the
precinct station hound and only a squad
were natrollng tne avenue in tne im
mediate vicinity of the hall. The larg
er force was kept under cover until the
close of the lecture so as not to excite
the crowd. When the time came for
(he whole number of police to march
to the hall, Chief Simpson assumed
command.
The large throng was quiet and or
derly when the lecture audience came
down the stairway ana into tne street.
The avenue In the immediate vicinity
had been cleared. Momentary excite
ment was furnished by some practical
loker who exploded three giant fire
crackers in Lafayette street at the side
of the building.
Meanwhile there was an anxious
wait for Ruthven's appearance. For
fifteen minutes the door leading from
the stairway was cioseiy watcnea, dui
he did not appear and It was given out
thnt he had departed through some un
known exit. However, the continued
presence of the police kept the tnrong
waiting.
Ruthven had been brought down a
back stairway intp the office at the rear
of the store on the ground floor and
his frjends were waiting an opportu
nity to get him aboard a car. But the
crowd did not leave, and after nearly
an hour had passed, word 'was sent to
Chief Simpson that the Ruthven party
would take the next niwara-uounu car.
RUTHVEN WAS RECOGNIZED.
The lecturer was recognized the rao.
ment he stepped Into the street and as
he and his friends stepped on the car
platform there was a division or cneers
and hisses and groans but no violence
was attempted. The car moved away
without being boarded by policemen,
although Captain Edwards and Reese
Jones were picked up two blocks away
at the corner of Jackson street from
which point the stones were tnrown
Just after the car started down tne mil,
HAD HER OWN HOUSE RAIDED
A Wife Brings the Police Down Vpon Uer
Uusbond and Mis Accomplices.
Mrs. Albert Andrews, a colored wo
man residing In Hennessey court on
tho West Ride, complained to Lieut en
ant Tom Williams Thursday that her
husband was UHlng their Home for im
moral curnoses and asked that the po
lice lend her assistance In clearing her
house of the bad characters that in
TfHt it.
During the night the lieutenant, with
Patrolmen John Thomas, Thomas Low
ry and William Matthews, made a de
scent on the place and captured An
drews and two women, also colored,
one named Sallle Hawkins and the
other Winnie Scott.
When arraigned before Alderman

THREE MICIIIGANDERS.
Committee of Grand Rapids Board of
Health Inspects the Crematory.
Three members of the Grand Rapids
board of health, Dr. Oscar L. Dales,
president. Dr. J. Orton, Edle and Dr,
William A. Wilson, spent yesterday In
this city, examining the garbage ere.
matory with a. view of building one In
their city. They examined the Dick
son crematory at Fort Wayne, while cn
route here, but are not as favorably
Impressed with It as with the plant In
this city.
Dr. Wilson attended' the meeting of
the board of health yesterday and
evinced a deep Interest In the business
like way In which It conducts Its af
fairs. He was greatly surprised to
learn that.the coal used at the crema
tory costs but thirty cents a ton, $5.50
being the price of the same quality
of coal in his city.
WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
Odd Charnetor That vvaa Driven Into tho
'. Station Homo by the storm.
Last evening about & o'clock, while
the wind storm was at Its height, there
drifted Into the station house one of the
oddest characters as far as appearance
goes that has ever sought shelter there.
Of all the tramps that have ever been
seen there he was the most peculiar
looking. The statement that he was a
tramp makes needless the assertion
that he was dirty. He wore four heavy
coats, one Inside his undershirt and the
others outside. Sandwiched between
the coats he wore a heavy shawl, which
was once white, and around his neck
was tied an Immense kerchief which
was nearly as large aa the shawl and
quite as clean. . . ,
He also wore another article of ap
parel, mad from a feed bag, which re-
sembled a Highlander's kilt. His
trousers were padded like a foot ball
player's breeches and tied at the shoe
tops with rone. His Fhoes were quite
ordinary, but his hut was just the op
posite. It was made in the chape of a
thimble and as hlrh a.i'tnc regulation
stovepipe. The remainder of his equip
ment consisted rif .hrte bags, one tilled
with tobacco, which served as a pillow,
one with coffee and the third and larg
est one with small articles of wearing
ap,)ttiel and cooking utensils. A lard
pall which served numerous culinary
purposes was attcched to one of the
bags. In full marehlnrr order he could
barely squeeze throufrh the celt door.
He gave his namu ns John Cunning
ham and his aire as 5 years. He said
he had labored on the railroads for
thirty odd years since coming from
Scotland to this country, hut of late lie
has been traveling about working only
when he couldn't ffet anything by beg
ging. He came here from Harrlsburg.
where he spent the summer, and Intends
going to New York state when the
weather modprate3. He eats whenever
he ran get food, but says he seldom feels
the want of It while his coffee and to
bacco are at hand. He has the appear
ance of having been a powerful man In
his prime.
PBEAR'S STORE AGAIN.
For the Fourth Tlrao It Is Entered and
Ransacked by Burglars.
R. H. Frear'B grocery store on Adams
avenue was again burglarized Thurs
day night, making the fourth time in
four months that the place has been
entered. Nothing was secured but
about a dollar In change and some
sweetmeats. Judging from the latter
article of booty, the police believe the
robbery to have been the work of boys.
A chisel about a foot long was used
to force the door open. To secure an
entrance it was also necessary to push
aside two barrels of apples which had
been placed against the door as an ex
tra precaution. The chisel was found
outside the door this morning.
Once Inside the thieves found easy
sailing. The safe had been left un
locked so It was an easy matter to burst
open the Inner drawers with a hatchet
and chisel found Inside the store. Al
though every apartment of the safe
was ransacked nothing of value was
secured except about a dollar In change.
Disappointed here the thieves turned
their attention to candies and cigars
and made off with a couple of dollars
worth. Several clues were left behind
and the police are confident of being
able to capture the guilty parties.
Last night a Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad conductor
brought to the police station a drawer
belonging to the burglarized safe. One
of his brakemen found It on top of a
coal car at daylight yesterday morning
as the train wan passing Henryvllle.
As the train left this city at 12.40 yes
terday morning It Is evident that the
burglary was committed before mid
night. The drawer contained some
papers, a Confederate $50 bill, two
punched quarters and two twenty-cent
pieces. The trainman says that no
body rode out of Scranton on the train,

Spring Opening in the Vehicle Trade.
One of the most Important features
that mark the continual progress of our
enterprising city Is the constant In
crease in the demand for fine vehicles,
and the development of taste among
our citizens generally for carriages of
superior quality and elegant styles.
For several years post the well
known firm of William Blume & Son
have used every effort in their power to
increase this demand by keeping In
Stock a fine line of vehicles of a high
grade manufactured by the most reput
able builders In the country. This firm
continues to be the leaders of the ve.
hide trade of northeastern Pennsyl
vania and In order to maintain that
position and to keep abreast of the
times have recently restocked their
spacious repository with the largest
collection of stylish vehicles to be seen
In the city. In addition to their regu
lar line of buggies, surrles, phaetons,
cabriolets, business and farm wagons.
they have added an extensive line of
the very latest specialties, consisting
of traps, buckboards, stanhopes, God
dards' speeding wagons, etc, of var
lous styles.
A special feature with tills firm for
the season of '96 will bo the rubber
tired and ball-bearing vehicles, of
which they will carry a most complete
line.
Another popular wagon will be the
celebrated "Sllvet s Runabout." Thl
Is the latest New York 'gentleman's
road wagon, and can he furnished either
with or without ball-bearings and rub
ber tires as desired.
Their display of trans Is the finest
exhibition of Its kind ever seen In the

TO SECURE PURER lillK
Decisive Step Taken by the Board of
. Health Yesterday.
KILL ITBLISH RESULT OP TESTS
thin. It Is Expected, Will India Competi
tion Among the Wholesalers.
After the Clergyman, and
' AlagUtratca Again.
The board of health yesterday deter
mined upon a new scheme to Insure the
sale of better milk in the city. It Is to
puonsn every month the official test of
the quality of milk sold by the different
wholesale dealers. By doing this It Is
thought a rivalry will be created among
the dealers and in striving to make the
best showing each will Insist on the
farmers shinning nothing but the best
quality of milk.
The plan was su crested bv Colonel
Ripple and was unanimously airreed to
by the other members. Dr. Paine was
somewhat dubious about the advisa
bility of such a proceeding, as the board
at Harrlsburg had tried the same
cchemo and was sued for damages by
the dealers. What the outcome of the
suits was Dr. Paine did not know. In
crder that the board may act intelli
gently In the matter the food inspector
was instrusied. to secure an opinion
from the city solicitor as to the board's
liability of being mulcted in damage
suits before putting the Dlan Into exe
cution.
The adaption of this measure resulted
from the contlnuod complaints of Food
Inspector Thomas about the poor qual
ity of milk that despite his vigilance is
supplied the wholesalers by unscrupu
lous farmers, who skim or water their
milk and feed their cows on unwhole
some fodder, such .as brewery grain,
potatoes and the like.
STATE LAWS FORBID IT.
The state laws forbid the use of brew
ery grain as fodder for cows, but never
theless every bushel of the material
that the local breweries can supply is
bought up by the farmers. The demand
is so great that sometimes a farmer
nan to wait Ave or six hours before he
can secure a load. The wholesalers are
as desirous as the board of health to
have only the best milk brought to the
cuy, out mere is nothing now to ennnur.
age them to make energetic efforts to
secure this result. The rivalry which
the new scheme is expected to excite
win supply an incentive to extra effort
in mis direction.
The fact that onlv thlrtv.frMir mar.
rlages were reported last month caused
tho board to adopt another extreme
measure to compel a stricter observ
ance .of the law. This time it is the
clergymen and magistrates who are un
der nre. Last October the board
threatened prosecutions If full returns
of marriages were not made. The next
month the returns of marrlas-ea in
creased from twenty-three to one hun
dred. ; in December it dropped to sixty-
eight, next month it was fifty-two, the
next month they further decreased to
nrty,. and last month it reached thirty
four. This very apparent disregard of
the law nettled the board and it decid
ed to proceed to prosecutions without
further threats. Aa a preliminary step
Secretary- Briggs was Instructed to
conipare the returns with the returns
in the clerk of the court's office and
discover who have been derelict. The
next meeting will probably see the
prosecutions under way.
Secretary Briggs' report for March
was as follows: Number of deaths,
