Mr. rKelley opened the case for the

fucts and John J. Howley, who owns
the building, was - the first witness
called to the stand. He described It as
being a brick, three stories high, with
basement and an attic He leased the
second and third floors to the Scran
ton Knitting company In August. 18!M,
the negotiations having been with Mr.
Luce, who was general manager of the
company. Bateman, Mr. Howley knew
was a foreman In the employ of the
company, or at least was supposed to
be such. He was not long on the stand
when court adjourned.
JURY CANNOT SEPARATE.
At the noon adjournment the Jury
was placed In charge of Tipstaffs Ritter
and Tlerney, and they will not be al
lowed to separate until the case is dis
posed of. Arson is a common law fel
ony, and one of the high grade crimes.
Thomas Norton, the one who first saw
the tire, was put on the stand in the
afternoon. He was on his way home
from the Crystal Engine house at 9.30,
and when he got close to the Howley
building smoke was issuing from the
upper windows. ' He retraced his steps
to the engine house and prepared with
others who were there to get the engine
out. In his opinion the lire was burn
ing but a very short time when he dls
covered It.
D. J. Newman, or the Crystals, was
sworn. After the fire was extinguished
he Inspected the upper part of the build'
tng to make sure that the flames were
not smouldering and he saw that the
gas Jets were turned on. He found cot
ton waste stuffed Into holes in the floor.
Chief Engineer Kerber, of the Are de
part men t, was the next witness. He
gave a description of the second nnd
third floors after the fire was extln
gulshed. There was a hole In the lloor
Into which was stuffed cotton waste
the gas jets were open and the gas was
escaping. On the second floor the fire
was burning In the wainscoating on
the Mulberry street side of the building
near the gas meter, and while some of
he firemen were tearing out the wood
work, some one from behind removed a
large dry goods box from its position on
the lloor about fifteen feet away from
the side of the building. Under the box
was a hole about eighteen inches by
two feet, and into it was .parked a heap
of cotton waste saturated with kero
sene oil. There was another hole cov
ered up with the sine under the stove
and a large heap of cotton waste was
In this also.
WASTE OFFERED IN EVIDENCE.
The chief removed the waste, nut It
In a bucket and gave It In chararo of
Chief of Police Simpson. The stuff was
exhibited in court and Identified. Mr.
u linen then offered It in evidence,
Harvey K. Long, of the Crystal com
pany was cancel after Chief Ferber.
He was among the first to arrive at the
tire and was the first to enter the build
Ing. On entering the Mulberry street
door which led to the Knitting factory
ne iouiki nis progress along the stair
way and the doors leading Into the
second and third floors barred and had
to force his way in to get at the fire.
Borne or the plpemen used an ax to bat
ter in the doors. Mr. Long described
the (Ire and the open gas Jets, as well
as the holes In the flour filled with oil
saturated cotton waste.
Engineer J. W. George, of the Cheml
cal company and Permanent man Thos.
Conlon or the hook and Ladder com
pany, were on the second and third
floors after the fire was out and they
testified to the condition of the place
and the unmistakable evidence of an
attempt to burn the building.
A. J. Howley, or the linn of Howley
Bros., was tne last witness or the day,
He testified substantially to what was
already told about the case and said
that he went out with Martin Handley
to Mr. Luce's house in Green Ridge on
the last car that night to see him
about the occurrence. He came down
with them to the police station and was
considerably agitated. He denied all
knowledge of the fire and affected to be
surppiseiMvhen he heard- abotrtttr "Mr;
Howley gave a thorough description of
the stairways and floors of the build
ing so that the Jury could understand
how it was laid out. He said it is
somewhat different now, as the fire ne
cessitated a remodeling, and the upper
floors were used as a factory at that
time, now the second floor is used for a
kindergarten school.
THE CASE WILL LAST ALL WEEK
The case will not go to the Jury be
fore the end of the week. There are
upwards of twenty witnesses yet for the
commonweattn, among tnem being sev
eral girls who were employed in the
factory. The evidence of the common
wealth Is entirely circumstantial.

KEITIMI ERBERT CONCERT.
Will Be Given ia V. M. C. A

Thursday Evening.
Perhaps more Interest centers In the
Keith-Herbert concert In Young Men's
Christian hall Thursday evening than
In any musical event of recent date.
excepting possible the "Messiah." As
a city we are proud of that noble chorus
but It is with ears attuned to dif
ferent strains we shall listen to this
dainty conclrt on Thursday evening.
The diagram already Indicates & flat
tering reception to those fine artists.
Victor Herbert is a magnet who draws
an admiring circle about him when
ever he appears, and his name and
fame are well known here.
Mr Keith has still to win his laurels
In Scranton, but that beautiful voice
which haa charmed the most critical
audiences of the world into unbounded
enthusiasm, will surely meet a warm
appreciation in this music-loving city.
The Musical Courier of March 28 says:
'Mr. Keith sang at the Waldorf last
Monday morning with flattering suc
cess. After his singing Fa u res' "Sancta
Marie" he was recalled four times, re
ceiving quite an ovation. Madame
Emma Nevada was present and most
enthusiastic In her applause and admir
ation of the young artist." By request
Mr. Keith will sing the "Sancta Marie"
also the. "Noel" and "Easter Eve,"
which hive made him famous In the
musical world. The programme of the
concert Is:

HIGH CLASS MUSIC.
Excellent Entertainment Givon Last
Night at St. Thomas' College Hall.
A large and fashionable audience at
tended the concert at St. Thomas' col
lege hall last night given under the
auspices of the Women's Kecley league.
The programme was one that ap
pealed to educated tastes and the man
ner In which It was received proved
that In arranging It the management
rightly anticipated the calibre of the
audience. Every number was warmly
applauded and encores were the rule
of the evening. The participants were
Miss Mary Dickson, violinist; Profes
sor T. F. Kopff, violinist; Mr. and Mrs.
J. Alfred Pennington, pianists; A. J.
Colborn, reader, and the Elm Park
Church quartette, composed of Miss
Winifred Sullivan, soprano; Miss Elsie
Van Dervoort, contralto; Alfred Wool
er. tenor, and Richard Thomas, basso.
The quartette was on the programme
for three numbers, but the audience did
not seem to be satisfied even with twice
that many. An encore followed every
rendition, and even after the encore the
singers were compelled to return to bow
their acknowledgements. Each of the
quartette also rendered a solo and Indl
vidtially they were accorded the same
ovation which their collective work
won.
Miss Dickson and Mr. Kopff delight
ed everyone with their finished execu
tion, as did also Mr. and Mrs. Pennin?
ton, who gave a piano duett. A. J. Col
born In two readings, and as many en
cores, snowea nimseir to be qulta as
able In elocution as he Is In oratorv.
a nannsome sum was realize J for the
noble work In which the Women's Kee.
ley league Is engaged, and the success
with which this first effort met will no
doubt prompt the league to give many
more sucn aengntrui entertainments.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Robert Downing and his comnanv of
artists headed by the incomparable
leading lady, Eugenie Blair, will be
seen at the Academy of Music next
inursaay evening in the Saumet ver
slon of "The Gladiator" and his coming

names in, ana seeing It under circum

ics ui m? country.
For some years past one of the moat
welcome attractions at our best play
houses has been the Hanlon Brothers'
startling spectacular play "Fantasma."

Acaaemy or music in a new dress, and
with many new features, in the way
of surprisingly new tricks, new mj .

Mr. Morrs, whose production of
"Michael Strogoff" will be given at the
Frothingham on Saturday afternoon
and evening never slights a city where
oniy one performance is to be given
and which in theatrical parlance Is
termed a one night stand. He be
hoves that an audience compliments an
actor hr attending his performance.and
consequently the play should be as well
done as It would be on the stage of
Hroauway theater. Special prices of
25 and GO cents will prevail for the
matinee.
Augustus Plton's production of "Mad
ame Sans Gene" in its English version
will be given nt the Frothingham
Monday and Tuesday nights, April 20
and 21, with all of Its original and
costly scenery, elegant properties, em
pire rurnlture, bric-a-brac and hand
some tapestries. The production may
be fairly credited as being one of the
most important dramatic events of the
present season. In the arrangement of
the series of episodes which constitute
the play, In the striking and glittering
stage pictures ana the cleverly con
trlved theatric effects, the workman
ship of that master of stage craft, M
earaou, is apparent.
