THE GRAND JURY
An Ignored Bill Retarded Against Men

The grand Jury presented its final re
port yesterday morning. They ignored
the indictment for murder against Jo

death or John Mlskus. True oius were
returned against the young men who
were concerned with Maggie Conway.
of Nealls court. In enticing little girls

also reported the following recom
mendations:
First We recommend that the com
missioners provide another room with
twelve cots and mattresses for petit

court house In a very bad condition and
recommend it be given immediate atten

mend that the county commissioners at
the proposed remodelling ol tne court
house, provide the court stenographers
with a larger olllce than the one now oc-
upied by them. The stenogrtupnic notes
of the testimony which It is necessary
for them to preserve are rapidly accumu
lating, and It will be but a short time be
fore the room now occupied will be en
tirely Inadequate to contain these records
We would recommend, therefore, that a
larger olllce be provided for the stenogra
phers and that a suitable vault be placed
therein for the purpose of properly pre
serving these Important records.
1-ourtn we also recommenu tne piaciai;
of a telephone in the olllce of the district

We also wish to return our sincere

CHIEF SIMPSON'S MEN
WERE KEPT BUSY
Twht Crowds and Crooks Tbey Had
Their Hands Full.
THEY DID THEMSELVES CREDIT
Thefts Were Not Numerous by Any
.Means and No Accidents Reported.
A Stroudsburg .Man lias a Rough
EiperienceMany Lost Children
Restored to Their Anxious Parents.
between nroteetlnsr the people from
accidents and evil doors the police had
busy time of it yesterday, ot an
accident was reported and despite the
act that the crowd was the largest tne
city ever held and that there was on
unusual number of croons nere on or-
ount of the circus less than the usual
number of picked pockets were com-
lained of.
As a precaution asalnst th? opera
tions of the lii;ht fingered gentry Chief
Simpon posted some of Mm oldest anu
best odlcera In citizens clothes nt the
principal street intersections where tne
thieves unvnriably wovk their game.
He also had a force of private detec
tives scouring about looking for known
crooks or suspicious Individuals and as
a result six men wem picked up, tnroe
on suspicion, two who were causht
picking pockets and one who Is a crook
with a History.
This latter Is H. Thompson, of Phil
adelphia, who was arrested In this city
for picking a woman s pocket at tne
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
station during the Wild West Bhow. for
which he served seven months, lie is
said to be the cleverest pickpocket in
the country. As there is no charge
against him he will be released after the
conclave Is over.
CAPTURED BY JONES.
Deteetlve T. M. Jones, of the Barring
& MeBweeney agency, detailed at tho
Delaware. Lackawanna and western
station to look out for suspicious char
acters, sighted four notorious New York
crooks getting oT -the- 8.30 o'clock
train. They saw tho detective spot
ting them and Immediately made
dash for the crowded streets.
The detective gnve chase and
after a run of four blocks captured one
of them, Johnny Weatherel, whose por
trait is given a conspicuous place in tne
Byrnes Art gallery, rew York.
One gang of pickpockets which
worked the city yesterday wore bicycle
suits as a means of avoiding suspicion.
Special Officer Jack Tierney got a "tip"
on their game and followed two of
them. Ho saw enough to convince him
that they would be better out of the
way, so called Patrolman John Molr
and had them taken In. They vir
tually admitted that they were "hang
ers on" of the circus.
Patrolman Tom Lowry picked up a
man in Center street at 9 o'clock last
night on suspicion. His attention was
attracted to the fellow by his suspicious
actions during the eurly part of tho
day and each time he saw him utter
Hist noticing him he wore a different.
suit of clothes. He was finally airest;d
and being unable to give an account of
himself was held for an Investigation.
HAD Hia POCKETS PICKED.
A half drunken man complained to
Patrolman Block and Rose that his
pocket had been picked and pointed out
a very likely looking fellow us the thief.
Both were locked up for a hearing and
the other as a witness. Chief Simpson
spotted a Philadelphia crook during the
parade hour and hud Patrolman uvana
lock him up. -
Ex-Foremun Edward Jones, of the
Von Storch colliery, lost his pocket-
book at the circus grounds. He is of
the opinion that his pocket was picked
while he was getting on un electric
car.
Mrs. Joseph Lambert, of 3:ir. Keyser
avenue, had her purse containing 820
and two money orders taken out of her
pocket in front of Gould's carriage
works on Linden street. Another lady
was relieved of $30 on Wushlngton
avenue by a thief, who cut the pocket
out of her dress.
Miss Jessie Carroll was watching the
parade on Lackawanna avenue and
holding her purse In her hand. Some
one touched her on the shoulder from
behind, and when she looked around
her purse was snatched out of her
hand. It contained about $4.
MAN FROM STROt'DSBURO,
Only one really serious affair as re
ported. Morris Kentner, a coal dealer
of Stroudsburg, drank a little yester
day for the first time in ten years. He
evidently displayed a roll of bills In
some saloon, for about 7 o'clock In the
evening Special OfHcipr James Boles
found him wandering about the Dick
son works, with his face brutally beat
en and stripped of everything of value
he had about his clothes. When he
sobered up somewhat he said that two
men offered to tak him out to see the
sights and he went with them. He re
membered going between some lum
ber piles and the rest Is a blank until
he recovered consciousness and found
himself minus his watch and $190. A
doctor was secured to dress his wounds
and he was given a bunk in the sta
tion house over night.
Five Polanders were arrested last
evening by a squad of policemen, for
fighting In Martins hotel at Bulls
Head. The Polanders had called the
bartender Into a back room and there
had a disagreement with him as to the
number of drinks should be given for a
quarter. Upon the bartender's refusal
to agree with them they undertook, by
means of force, to make him do so.
During the struggle that ensured the
bartender's father, who was in another
room, came upon the scene, and went
to the aid of his son.
ALL- KINDS OF WEAPONS.
Chairs, glosses and tables were used
with telling effect. In a few minutes
the room was covered with blood. The
father, who Is well advanced In years
was severely punished. Unable to put
a stop to the proceed hies, Mr. Mar
tin sent to the central city for police
aid. A squad was immediately dis
patched to the scene pnd placed Ave
of the Polanders under arrest.
Fourteen loat children were restored
to their rnrents through the agency of
the central precinct.
STILL THE GREATEST.
Bornum & Bailev's Circus Enter
tnined Nearly Thirty Thousand.
Probably tho largest audiences that
ever witnessed circus performances in
Scranton were those of yesterday af
ternoon and evening at the old race
course grounds, where Barnum & Bai
ley's greatest show on earth was hold
ing forth.
So great was the throng within the
tent at the afternoon exhibition that
many were compelled to leave the en
closure while the running horse and
chariot races were going on and be-
sides turning hundreds of people away
the ticket sellers were obliged to re
fund several hundred dollars to pur
chasers whp were unable to gain ad
mission. At 2 p. m. promptly the performance
commenced and while the people were
still crowding in, the grand procession
and exhibition of all the performers,
men, women nnd animals, together
with a display of the wagons, cages,
chariots and other vehicles and para
phernalia was conducted around tho
large circuit. After this the fun com
menced, three rings and one stage oc
cupied continuously almost by per
formers and outside of them and all
around them were fifteen clowns, one
of them a lady clown, making things
merry by their ludicrous and absurd
antics,
'lucre were sixteen displays In tne
main performance, besides the great
htpprouronie races, which consisted of
fourteen distinct events. The acro
batic exhibitions were as usual, numer
ous and very good, varying but little
from those of previous years, although
the critical observer would notice oc
casionally a new and difficult trlcK.
The Innovations, however, were prin
cipally in the variety of apparatus
used, notably In the Hying trapeze act,
where the lady gymnast was huried
into space by nieaus of a strong spring
apparatus.
Display number four was entirely by
the new woman, who held supreme
sway in the arena. Their costumes
were of the up-to-date order and their
acting whether in the acrobatic line or
In equestrianism was executed clev
erly and with grace and ease. Of the
bait-back eeuesinan acts, while it can
be said that they were all good, yet
they were a repetition of tho nimble
teats cf circus riders seen here before.
Lofty tumbling over elephants and
camels, which specialty has been some
time tltmlnated from their exhibitions
was a feature cf yesterday's show.
Trained animals of ail kinds from the
small dog to the large elephants were
seen in every ring and ptrformed trlekn
and feats with much clcverneas.
The most popular exhibit of the
entire performance without doubt
was tho majestic equine acts of
fifty-one horses, trained by John
O linen and conducted by him
also. The platform was arranged in
the shape of a pyramid with one horse
and rider, Mr. O'Brien, at the apex.
The other tlfty horses were standing or
prancing on tho several circular tiers
that form tho pyramid, and at the
trainer's command they moved about
rapidly in concentric rings presenting
an exceptionally beautiful and animat
ed scene.
The most during aerial act ever seen
In the city wus done by the Silbons.Kng-lls-h
nrcists. One of the male members
of the company made a mo.-t phenom
enal flight through the air from n Hy
ing trapeze. It caused those in the au
dience to hold their breath. Leon La
Rocho.while enclosed in a metallic globe
made the ascent and descent of it
spiral incline, apparently defying all
tho laws of gravitation. The eoues-
trlan act of the Meers sisters was also
a novelty of more than passing merit.
l he iaet numbers of the show were the
usaal hippodrome races, during which
an exhibition- of high hurdle jumping
by horses was given and also of steenle
chase racing. About one thousand per
sons were so well pleased with the
main show that they remained for the
concert, which followed the regular per-
lormance.
The side show was runnlnir cnntlnunl.
ly during the afternoon and evening,
and was well patronized.
Last night the cm find were ncnln
crowded with ticket-holders and visit
ors. Every seat around the tnntoH
arena was occupied nnd the exhibition
given was equal to that of the after
noon. Bnrnum and Bailey will tnko
between twenty and twenty-five thou
sand dollars from this city with them,
that amount being considered a con
servative estimate of the receipts of
both performances.
