Thoroughbred Produced Before a
Large Audience at Krothinghiini.
Those who saw "Thoroughbred" at
the Frotliinghum last night, and the
capacity of the house was taxed, voted
it a most entertaining trifle, as pro
duced by one of Charles Frohmun's
pvnly-hulam'ed companies which Is
headed by Henry K. Dlxey of Adonis
fame. It In a three act comedy very
light comedy It might be proper to re
mark nnd the scene Is laid In Kngland.
The three acts are redolent of cockney
accent and Kngllsh humor brought up
to date.
The action of the comedy revolves
s"bout the complications that attend the
love affairs of a wealthy American
, and the 80n of an impoverished Eng
lish gentleman and the efforts of a
Btald lirltlsh matron and her husband
to gee a horse race without letting the
. sharer of their sorrows and Joys knows
anything about It.
Dlxey was excellent as John Rlmple,
the staid, well-to-do Briton, who took
to the turf late In life, and sotwas Kd-
gar L. Davenport as A. V. Decker, the
American. Charles W. Butjer, who
has frequently been seen In this city
with Frohman companies, did an eccen
tric character In his unapproachable
way. and Edwin Tanhouse and William
Morrl contributed notably to the suc
cess of the performance. The female
roles were cleverly interpreted by Mag-
gie Halloway Fischer, Maud White,
Isabel Kverson and Prances Stevens.
"ThorouRbred" is mostly nonsense,
but Is nonsense made palatable, and
that appears to be what the average
theatre-goer of today most desires.

eisteddfod. '
RUMORS WERE UNFOUNDED
Death of Richard Woonocott of Oly
pliant Caused by Heart Failure-Coroner
Long street Held an Inquest.
Coroner Lonestreet was notified yes
terday that a man named Kichard
Wonnocott, living on Itailroad street,
a block from the Delaware and Hud
son station. In Olyphant, had died un
der suspicious circumstances. The
story that was In nearly everybody's
mouth In Olyphant before the coroner
conducted an Investigation was that
there had been a family fight In Won
nocott's house and that he was found
dead soon afterward.
The postmortem examination dis
pelled all rumors of foul play. Wonno
cott's heart was twice the normal size
and the mitral valve hud turned into
a chalky substance. The condition of
the vital orean caused Coroner Long
street to wonder that the man had lived
as long as he did. It Is a still greater
wonder that he worked right along in
the mines at hard work up to and in
cluding the day of his death.
Wonnocott was a widower and was
44 years old. He was employed at the
Grassy Island mine of the Delaware
and Hudson Railroad company. He
came home from work at 4.30 Christmas
eve and did not . shift his working
clothes, but sat around the house.
About 7 o'clock the family took sup
per, but he complained of not feeling
well and went Into the room off the
kitchen.
He sat on a chair by the stove and
was in that position only a few minutes
when he fell dead on the floor. Mrs.
Hathaway, his housekeeper, tried to
arouse him but she found him lifeless.
He leaves a family of five, two of them
adults.
The Jury empaneled by Coroner Long
street consisted of Dr. B. M. Penny
packer, Dr. Leonard Kelley, Jr., Neal
O'Boyle, George A. Cooper. John A.
Cameron and John T. Brown. The ver
diet was as follows: "We And that
Richad Wonnocott came to his death
from heart failure, due to mitral steno
sis." BRIDGE ENDANGERED AQAIN.
Sabterraacaa Fire Breaks Ont in
Ontario dc Western Yard.
Again the subterannean fires are rag
ing in the Ontario and Western yard
at the westerly end of the Linden
street bridge. The material that is
burning Is) the cults in the old "Cork
and Bottle" dump, upon ' which the
yard was built. The company dug an
Immense pit a year ago and shovelled
out what they thought was all of the
burning culm. It Is evident, however,
that they did not reach the full extent
of the Are or that a fresh" fire has
broken out.
It Is feared that If the fire Is not Im
mediately and permanently exting
uished it will cause a cave-in and pos
sibly effect - the western abutment of
the bridge which Is only a few yards
away from the heart of the confla
gration and imbedded in the culm.
This second fire seems to be fiercer
than the first. Judging from the vol
ume of smoke and gas which Is emitted
and the cracklln? of the conflagration.
It is proposed to flood the pit dug last
year in the hopes that the water will
percolate to the region of the fire in
sufficient volume to extinguish It. If
this fails the company will be put to
the expense of deepening and extend
ing the excavation, which may be a
very costly operation, as It Is possible
that the Are covers a greai area. The
city will also take steps to fight the
Are and protect the bridge abutment
but Just what means will e adopted
has not been decided upon.
SCALDED TO DEATH. ,
The Sad Fate ot A.J. Mahoa's Three-Year-Old
Child.
At 5 o'clock Christmas eve while
playing about the house. John, the
three-year-old son of Anthony J.
Mahon. of Third street, fell Into a tub
of scalding water and was so badly
burned that he died at 5 o'clock last
evening, despite the untiring efforts of
Dr. John O'Malley to save the little
unfortunate.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Interment
will be made in Dunmore Catholic cem
etery. NEW COUNTY OFFICERS.

entire new board of auditors will be In

complexion will, remain unchanged.
NOT EVEN STANDING ROOM.
Immense Crowds nt Davis Theatre
at Both Performances Yesterday.
At 8.15 o'clock last night, when the
curtain went up at Davis' theatre the
box oflice window went down. Not even
standing room could be purchased.
Hundreds were turned away at both
afternoon and evening performances.
It was the biggest day's business the
house ever witnessed and it will stand
as the biggest as long as the dimen
sions of the house remain the same, as
it will be simply Impossible to crowd
any more in than were there last night.
It was a good stroke on the part of
the managament to put on such an ex
cellent show aa "Boy Blue" during the
holidays, as there are always some in
the house on a holiday who were never
there before. They will carry away
a good impression and can be counted
upon to be regular patrons.

Almost Anyone.
Ninety-seven 8cranton hopefuls will
have their faith shattered In Santa
Claus of the efficacy of the U. S. mails
as a means of reaching him. Just that
number of tender begging epistles ad
dressed to the fictitious saint of child
hood remain undeliveredat theScranton
post ofllce and unless recalled will be
sent to the dead letter office to be
ruthlessly destroyed.
And what a study for a kindergarten
In those ninety-seven letters. Some are
correctly enveloped and stamped and
the address carefully and legibly -written.
Others are simply enclosed In a
piece of wrapping paper, a pin prevent
ing the letter and an Improvised envel
ope from parting company. Some have
a cancelled stamp glued on the cover,
others have no stamp at all and others
still bear evidence of much Ingenuity
in the way of home-made postage
stamps.
Scarcely any two writers held the
same Idea of Santa Claus' postofflce ad
dress, An even forty of them had him
located at the north pole but they lo
cated the pole Itself or his particular
street and number at the pole in as
many different localities aa there were
letters. "Santa Claus 141 Mud street.
North Pole, Scranton, Pa.; North Pole,
Greenland; North Pole, Africa; Rock
Condyhouse, North Pole; Santa Claus
vllle, North Pole; Ice street, North
Pole," are examples of some of the ad
dresses. "Scranton, Pa.," was second
choice as Santa's abiding place In the
minds of St. Nick's devotees, no less
than twenty-five letters having been
sent In the firm belief that he was per
manent fixture In the Electrio City.
One of the addresses Indicated that
there was a juvenile new woman in the
throng. She woulnd't ask anything
from any man; not even Santa Claus.
She made particular wants known to
"Mrs. Santa Claus, North Pole, city."

BOTH GUESSED THE SAME NUMBERS.
Earh Will Receive a Five Hundred
Mile Book.
The general passenger department of
the New York, Ontario and Western
railway company advertised to give
free of charge a thousand mile book to
the iirst person guessing nearest the
correct number of electoral votes given
each of the presidential candidates
each person accompanying their annual
fall excursion to New York on October
26th last, being entitled to one vote.
Now that the official vote by states
renders it possible to make up a tabu
lated statement. It Is found that the
two persons guessing the nearest are
C. W. Smith, of Karlvllle, N. Y., and
Asa Aldrich. of Norwich. N. Y.. their
votes being McKinley 270. Bryan 177.
while the correct vote was McKinley
273, Bryan 174.
As it was Impossible to ascertain
which of the two votes above referred
to were received first. It has been de
cided to award a Ave hundred mile
book to each, and the same has been
forwarded to them. There were many
hundreds of guesses received, a number
of which were In close proximity to tne
result.
REV. DR. DIXON INJURED
Fell and Crippled His HandDerives
Some Humor from the Accident.
Will Occupy His Pulpit Tomorrow.
Rev. Joseph K. Dixon. D. D., pastor
of the Penn Avenue Baptist church,
met with a severe Injury early Wed
nesday morning. While returning
home from the New England banquet
at the Hotel Jermyn he slipped on the
Ice on the Wyoming avenue crossing
and broke the ligament which binds the
linger chords of his left hand.
William McClave. Dr. L. M. Gates
and C. F. Whlttemore were with Dr.
Dixon at the time of the accident. He
suffered Intense pain. The fortunate
presence of Dr. Gates gave him quick
medical attendance after he had been
accompanied to his home on Jefferson
avenue.
The Injury is very painful and Is as
severe as a broken wrist would have
been. It has kept him awake nights,
but will not deter him from conducting
three Christmas services arranged for
tomorrow morning, afternoon and
evening in the Penn Avenue Baptist
church.
Dr. Dixon says he will preach with
his "whole heart and one wing." Some
one told htm that the wicked always
stood in slippery places, and that the
accident and the fact of its having
occurred at 1 o'clock In the morning
following a banquet might Injure his
reputation. He replied that he didn't
stand; the church chorister, trustee
and deacon, who were with him, stood
and they would have to bear the odium
of an unrighteous reputation.
