For some tliw Sano I'ughano, pro prietor of the Columbus house on Lun tfarf street, hus missed sums of money that have been left in the cash regis ter over night. The robber left no i-lew and the locks of the doors were In Kood order so It was not known how any cive gained entrance to the pluce. The burglars continued at Irregular Intervels and although I'ugllano had his suspicions, he did not have enough evidence Ui-un which t make an ar rest. The ;'t-ron he knew wus some ore who was w II acquainted with the place and so he set secretely to work to j;vt some evidence. It was iinally thought advisable that watchers should be placed In the room each nlsht and for the last two weeks two men have passed the nights hidden in one of the booths. Here they could nee the entire bar room without tht-m-M-lvts being' seen. The nights passed on and the burglar did not come. Pugllano had began to think hi ilan had leaked out and was ti little discouraged. He determined to keej; the -watch a few nights longer una vrnterday met ills reward. The watchers. Salvntmv (iegl.-ottl and Peter Mussaro. were early yesterday morn ing aroused by a creaking; noise. They weiv i.n the lib-it in n nionii nt ami were ready to rive the iniilult-r u warm re ception. Suddenly the door opened and he itjtuie of a man was seen to enter n ud make his way tuwunl the register and with a key oieired the door. He hud .lust iilaceij some money In his pocket when the men llred their revolver.-! to alnrm tin- burglar. The fright was loo mticlu for the robber and he fell on his kn.-s askirg lor mercy. While one of the men kepi guard over the prisoner the other went to uivue Mr. Pngliaiio. Then something happened that looks rather queer, for when l'ugllano returned the lights were out a:-d the man lett on guard was -pointing his levolven at the pla-e lie thought the robber was. He had made his escape through the cellar, but was ar once pursuvd. He was overtaken and brought back to the hotel, where he was placed In the hands of u police ma n. The burclar made his waylnto the house through the trout cellar window. Some one from the inside must have unlocked this and Pugllano Is endeav oring to get Cooper, the man who was caught, turn state's evidence. Cooper claimed he was Innocent, say ing he was on his way home when tak en In charge by the policeman. Chief of Police Me Andrew had no belief In the story and after a line hard work succeeded In getting some of the truth f i oni him. He says he entered through the cellar door, which was opened y the bartender, who Invited him in. Cooper says Colette, the bartender, took the money. Colette, hoewver, de nies having had anything to do with the affair. BOOTH SECURES THE CONTRACT. Will Keep Hie Siren Clean lor l ive Ycnr.

THE GREAT BARNUM SHOW. iKtmease Crowd Hitaess Featare More Wooaerful Tkao Eter. Those who looked out of their win dows at the skies early yesterday morn ing were somewhat dismayed at the signs which seemed to presage a stormy day. Barnurh's (Teat show had spread its acres of tents on Sunday, and as the grounds were visited by thousands, na turally the" desire was universal that fair weather would prevail on Monday. As the hours wore on. It became evi dent that rain would not spoil the par ade, and as the sun was welcomed and the air decidedly cool, those who wit nessed it could not be numbered. And It met every expectation as all of Bar r.um und Baileys promises do. Owing to the presence of low telephone, trol ley and other wires on one or two of the principal streets, these thoroughfares were abandoned for others. But the glittering parade was viewed by mul titudes who occupied seats in the many windows and who lined the sidewalks on the Public Square. In every re spect he parade was a success. It was as entertaining an outdoor attraction as was ever revealed in this city and plainly-foretold the excellence of the great show under the mammoth tents. The schools were generally closed and an army f little people saw the par ade and attended th" afternoon per formances, not the least inviting ih ngs being those found in the menagerie, whose collection of animals of all kinds hus never been excelled. Natural his tory never presented a greater number of Impressive object lessons than were disclosed In this great so. It would be a waste of words to detail the many v.oimcrl'ul anil graceful exhibitions ylviii in the circus tent. There was nola single deviation from the mar velously attractlee programme. Ar tists of wonderful skill aud daring, men of mighty muscle and agility, women of rue beauty and consumate courage, all united In giving one of the best and mo.-'t thrilling urciiic exhibitions ever seen. It is no exaggeration to say that the Barnum show this season appears to huve taken on a new lease of life us It certainly has augjmer.ted its mag netic features. F.verythlng done Is a revelation of grace, skill and courage and there is not an offensive thing pre senttd anywhere. The bounty of all nations In the menagerie tent. Includ ing little men and women whom Stan ley discovered In the heart of Africa, as well as seme tiny specimens of the ancient cliif dwellers, are worth study-lug-. All iu all the Burnum show Is woith going far to see. It drew two Immense audiences here yesterday. 1.1'KAYSVILLi:. A. B. Bayson I-. spending a few days with his sons at. Wllkes-Barre and Ilaaleton.
