BIG CAKE WALK AT '
LAUREL HILL PARK
Conducted by the Hotel Jertnya Waiters'
Social Club.
TWENTY-THREE COUPLES CONTEST
Cake Was Won by J. C. Foster and
Miss Liizie llrian-lt Is an Im
mense Afl'uir,WcighinK Twenty-two
Pounds, and a Fine Example of the
Confectioners' Art.
Scranton has had a real cake walk.
It took place last night in Laurel Hill
park and completely overshadowed
anything of the kind held In the .city
In the days gone by.
The Hotel Jermyn Waiters' Social
rlub was responsible for the walk,
which was a pronounced success, so
cially, und. It may not be out of place to
chronicle the fact, that It netted a num
ber of "bones" which will go Into the
club's treasury.'
At B o'clock the crowd began to Bath
er' at the purk, and at 9.30 the pavilion
was Wen filled with the most represen
tative colored people of the city and a
lui'ge delegation of "white folks," mnny
of whom figure prominently in society.
From 9.30 until 10.30 was devoted to
general dancing and the dusky belles
and beaux showed a number of steps
decidedly new. to the onlookers. This
was ouly .preliminary to the feature of
the evening, the cake wulk. At 10.30
John F. Banks, lloor muster, announced
that the cako wnlk would begin at once,
and named Alderman W. S. MlUar,
James Burke. A. J. Garrett, of Wllkes
Barre, George Brown, Mr. Foster and
A. Williams as the Judges.
Then Mr. llunltn delivered an oration
An the subject of cake walking, the
cuke to be contested for having In the
meantime been given a osltion of honor
on the stage. It rested on an American
Mag and was gaily decorated with small
Hags. It was truly a line example of the
confectioner's art. Weighed 22 pounds
and was the handiwork of Fred Basso,
the Hotel Jenny ft chef.
MR. BANKS, THE ORATOR.
As Mr. Banks described the good qual-.
Sties of the cake he strew really elo
quent. What If he did peuk or the
"Ingredients" of the cuke and warn
those who were about to enter the con
test that they would be discoursed If
they did not turn good angels and com
fort themselves as becomes good cake
w alkers. , These only added pictures
(lucncss to Mr. Bunk's fervid oratory
which made it all the more enjoyable.
After announcing that all contestants
would have a fair field and n favor Mr.
Banks said the regular cake walk would
be preceded by a fancy walk. This wns
participated in by Mr. and Mrs. Pnter
son, of Philadelphia, and Mr. und Mrs.
Mosely, of New York, professional cake
walkerB. They were led by another
professional. Mr. Smith, attired in a
fantastic costume. This exhibition,
consisting of ninny fancy steps and fig
ures, whetted the appetite ot the spec
tators for the real walk which cMine
on apace after Mr. Banks had Indulged
in a little more of Ills, oratory, which
was quit..' us enjoyable as any one fea
ture of the evening's entertainment.
It was after It o'clock when the
walkers ranged themselves on uie
floor under the direction of flour
Muster Bunks and to tlio strains of tho
"Honeymoon March," played by
Bauer's orchestra, started the walk.
By this time the pavilion was . F
crowded that It was with some dlfli-,
culty a space was cleared for the I wen.
ty-three couples that participated in
the contest for the cake.
PICKING THU WINNERS.
Gradually the ranks of the walkers
were thinned out by the judge, until
only three collides Were left. They
were Jivan Krr.ory and Mrs. AV.yp.' J.
Foster of Scranton and Miss LIzzlu
Prion of Williamson. K T. Hasbruolc
and Mrs. Harvey Austin. By this tlnio
the spectators had crown very enthu
siastic and were clievtlnff their favor
ites with a will. Shouts of "Foster, '
"Hasbruck," nnd "Emory" were heard
on all sides. As the walkers came In
at the finish they were surrounded
an excited, eager crowd who shouted
the name of their favorite to tho
Judges. The rime favorite was FoRter.
It .was nearly five minutes before
Alderman Millar, the president of the
board of Judges, could get order and
he then announced that while It was
almost impossible to make a choice-
between the three couples the Judges
believed that Mr. Foster and lady had
a shade the best of the contest and
should be awarded the rake.
This drew forth a protest from Mr.
Emory. According to the rules govern
ing cake walks, he nald. the number
should be decreased to two before a de
cision Is rendered. The Judges, to satis
fy Mr. Emory and his friends, ordered
the walkers to resume, but burred Mr.
Emory and his lady much to his cha
grin. The contest wns then waged be
tween Mr. Foster and Mr. Hasbruck and
their ladies. The former were award
ed the price, which was the signal for
another demonstration, of which Mr.
Foster was the center. A season of
general dancing followed the walk.
THOSB WHO CONDUCTED IT.
George Carter Is the president of the
club which conducted the affair and the
arrangements for It were in direct
charge of the following: Chairman,
John F. Banks; treasurer, George H.

VITASCOPE HERE.
lis Pictures nnd a Variety Company
nt the Frothinoiinm.
The return of Edison's wonderful
vitascope pictures, with a vaudeville
company of unusual merit, promises to
put standing; room at a premium at the
Frothlngham this week. Last night's
audience, while not a large one, was
good for a first night, and it gave evi
dence of Its approval of the really first
class entertainment by Its applause.
Each number on the programme was
encored.
Since ltwas seen here several weeks
ago there seems to have been some Im
provement In the vitascope, certainly In
the means of attaching; and detaching
the pictures to the machine. The waits
between the views have been shortened.
Seven views were shown last night.
. In the attendant variety show, which
precedes the vitascope,' are three num
bers which were the best of the pro
gramme when It was pretented here be
fore. Flora, In electric dances; Frank
Latona, the "Weary Waggles" man.
and Annie Whitney, the . charming
character Binger. .
In addition there la a new and novel
term which will be given a warm wel
come in Scranton because of tne Iden
tity of two of its members, Nellie
Chandler, the leader of the "White or
chestra," which played at the Froth
lngham during the winter of 'W and '95.
and Florence Beckett, the flutist of that
organization. The latter is now known
as Floy Farrar. The other member of
the trio is Rita Le Monte. The three
are short-skirt artists now. Their work
is musical, vocal and Instrumental, and
their curtain-raiser contributes largely
to the real merit of the performance,
though they might have emphasized
their reception by a little more prompt
ness In appearing for their several
parts. However, whatever drag there
was, may be attributed to a "first
night" and will not be so apparent in
future.
The performance will be given each
night during the week and on Wednes
day and Saturday afternoons. The
prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents.
ATTEMPTEDBURGLARY.
Man Who II Is Thought Trl d to Eater
Radin's Pawnshop Is Placed
Under Arrest.
Early yesterday morning an attempt
was made to enter Radin's pawnshop
on Penn avenue. The probably guilty
person was arrested last night and will
have to answer a charge of attempted
burglary In this morning's police court.
When the pawnshop employes opened
the place yesterday morning, they
found the panels broken In the door
opening into a private hallway which
leads to living upartmeiits on the upper
lloors. The contents of the place were
were not disturbed, the would-be burg
lar evidently having been frightened
away before he could gain entrance.
Early Sunday night Lieutenant of Po
lice Davis and Patrolman OoerllU had
noticed a man come out of the door
lending to the upartmeiits over Ferdl
nondo's saloon and enter the hallway
adjoining the pawnshop. Later In the
evening Lieutenant Davis met the man
on Franklin avenue. When the at
tempted burglary was reported, the
man and the case were associated and a
watch was kept for hint last night.
Lieutenant Davis spotted the fellow
last night at the corner of Penn and
Lackawanna avenues, and urrested
him.
The prisoner had been arrested Satur
day night while walking on Mifflin ave
nue with a woman named Bessie Wal
ton. He gave his name then as Thomas
Walsh and said he was a railroad man,
lived In the North End and was 29 years
old. The couple was a little the worse
for drink nnd he had to pay a fine of $3
in Saturday morning's police court.

DISTURBERS OF LOVES.
Tliry Were Arrested in Nay Ann l'ark
l.a-t .Niulit.
Two Dunmore youths were arrested
In Nay Aug park last night for slyly
watching loving couples who are wont
to bask In the moonlight, drink In tho
balmy night air and talk poetical. Tho
.iing men gave their names as Wallace
and Craig at the central police sta
tion where they were brought by Park
Policeman McManaman.
The youths were skipping from tree to
tree and crawling along the ground
when the policeman discovered them.
The officer adopted the same tactics
and allowed the pair to get within hear
ing distance of a love-lorn couple on
one of the benches when he arrested
them. They are about 19 years of age
and will be given a hearing this morn
ing. '

William Carpenter ot 21S Prospect

and having seven children, employed
as carpenter by the Lackawanna Iron
& Steel company, met a terrible death
at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon In the
old rolling mill yard above the blast

He was run over by one of the small
locomotives and his left arm and both
legs were cut off. He ,was dead when
help reached the spot. The deceased
was at work putting a floor In a scale
on which cars of pig iron are weighed.
The place is close to the abutments of
the. Roaring Brook bridge.
Every time the cars passed ho had
to step to one side, and when the en
gine came this time he moved away
from the track a few feet. Tho en
gine passed him and stopped a few feet
below where he was standing. He saw
It reversed and move back toward him,
and he was about to step a few feet
farther away from the track when lie
stumbled and fell across the rails.
The engine was going at a slow rate
of speed, but before the engineer real
ized whsH hnd happened the wheels
passed over Carpenter. Coroner Long

body and I'nder'tuker G. A. Miller tooK

TWO BOYS POISONED.
While playing In the fields near the
Pennsylvania Oral school Saturday af
ternoon two boys, Charles Nlmbley and
Thomas Harris, each 5 years old, enme
across a tin can anions some rubbish
which had been thrown out by the Jani
tor of the school, and In the can wns a
quantity of paste made of molasses nnd
Hour, In which arsenic hud been mixed
to kill rats with.
Finding the substance sweet they ate
the stuff, and an hour or so afterwnrd,
when they went home, became violently
ill. The condition of young Nlmbley
from 9 o'clock Saturday night until he
died nt !i o'clock 'Sunday morning, was
one of great agony. At a late hour last
night the Harris boy was so weak that
his death is looked for, anil it Is the
opinion of doctors attending him that
lie rannnt recover.
Nlmbley !s a son of John P. Nlmbley,
a minor living nt 123 Jefferson nvenue,
Dunmore, and Harris is a son of A. .1.
Harris, a niolder living at HO Monroe
avenue, Dunmore. Coroner Longstreet
was attending a private call in that
neighborhood yesterday morning, when
he heard of the strange death of the
boy. In connection with the case. It
has been published that Dr. Winters, of
Dunmore, gave a death certificate to
the effect that the cause of death was
gastritis. This does him an Injustice.
He says that ho was not nt the house
until three hours nfter death hnd oc
curred and did not give any ccrtlllcate.
He and Dr. Brown, of Dunmore, were
cnlled to the Harris case, nnd they have
done nil In their power to save his life,
but the effort appears to end In failure.
