A foul in the eighth round snved HM Poole, of Arkansas, from an Inevit able Unoekout nnd biivc Jack TlRtie, of this cltv, the decision In what was to have lieen a llftoen-rotinU bout between the two in Music Hall last night, l'oolo beKan drifting toward sleepy land In the seventh round and lost his temper during the eighth, In which he got lila left aim around Tlgue's neck and hlp locked him through the ropes to tho footlights. It required nearly half a minute for Keferee Murphy and two of Tlgue's seennds to pull the pair apart. After the derision was awarded to Tlgue many of the spectators gained access to the stnee. Poole later got into Tlguo's corner and the pair were dis posed to settle their differences sans rufcs when they were again separated ijnd the curtain rune down. However, IHjfore the foul declined Tieuo had demonstrated his superiority and would probabb have finished his man in tho next round. The men met at catchwelghts. Tlguo weighed 133 pounds nnd Poole looked several pounds heavier. The latter was not In the bust of condition, but the Pirantonlan appeared lit to battle for Ills life. In Poole's coiner were "Red" Connolly nnd ".Strong Hoy" Jones, of Simpson, ami Toby Gardner, of this city. Tlgue's handlers were James Judge, the champion welterweight of Northeastern Pennsylvania; Paddy Hopkins and Dick Kavers. Pat Durkln and Mike Connolly were timekeepers. During the first three -rounds no de cisive business was transacted. Poole was showing himself to lie no novice at the art and, talcing advantase of Tlgue's caution, exhibited considerable knowledge of offensive and defensive work. FIIIST TELLING HLOYV. Tho first telling blow of the bout was scored by Tlgue at the conclusion of the fourth round. He had ducked two healthy left swings nnd forced Pnole to the ropes, where the Seran tonlan landed full nnd clean with his right on the Arkansas traveler's neck. As soon as the glove found its resting place the gong sounded, apparently much to the relief of Poole. Thereafter the contest was in Tlgue's favor at all stages of the game. Poole was always playing his favorite string, a left sw ing for the neck nnd a right Jolt for the wind, but only twice dur ing the liftli nnd sixth rounds was the fcranton boy's red head or his body within range. Poole In return for his pains received several right crosses on the neck, jaw and ear. lt'llj in the seventh Tlgue missed left pvlng connections but placed twn snou-arni rightK under Poole's heart. Ihr latter was running away, but piipod to tniss a right for tho body. Tigui took advantage of tho opening "nl s-nt his right onto Poole's nosa t H the fit st flow of claret. Poole was wok ) ml hugging when the bell ran?. The pair had no sooner opened the eirhl'i 'hen l'oolo inshed Tlgue int.) tltr iatltr'b corner near the front ol the sure Tlgue ducked and Poole got h in tn h:s lip nnd Hung- him through tho ropex. He did not break his hold. Referee Murphy and Tlgue's seconds pulled thf pair into the ring and fin ally separated them nnd the decision wan given to Tigue. Ir the confusion already described "Squirrel" Finnerty Jumped upon the stage and made known his willingness for a match with Tigue at any time. ACllOIMTIC KXHIPITION. The opening number was an acro batic exhibition by the same pair of Juvenile bootblacks who have appeared at several similar entertainments at Music hall In the past. A fast and decisive four-round argu ment nt 113 pounds was decided be tween Fred Duggan and Titus Gilf fiths. both of Olyphant. the former be ing declar. d the winner. Duggan was the agressor from the call of time. He was the stronger and used the better Judgment though Grlfllths wan gifted with the greater activity. In thn fourth round Duggan drew first color and proved himself su clearly the superior m(H( that Keferee Murphy declared the bout In Ills favor before time was called. Duggan was seconded by P. J. Mnluney and Toby Gardner. Behind Grlllltlui were Jim Connors and T. J. GriMvy. A battle royal nniong four colored men was the third event, and iinme dlnM preceded the star attraction. The biggest man of the four was the common enemy of the other three, but he wns the -ost enduring and the strongest and t ret roe's decision In his favor, met . .. approval of the h'.use. Announcer Barrett made known tho 20-1" .unci bout which will be decided between Jimmy Judge, of this city, and T'liin.y Ilynn. of Philadelphia, in Music hall next Thursday night. It will d-nde the welterweight eliumpiou nbip 'jf the stnte, and will be under the management of the American .rfportlng club, which is not, however, the club that conducted Inst night's entertain ment It was also announced that on the iOtli of the month "Squirrel" Fin neity and Edward McCloskey, of ihn adelpiila, would meet In a 20-rotmtl ar gument. Over four hundred spretntors wlt nebsed last night's affair. It was a respectable audience and an orderly one, until tho unfortunate wlndup rat tied a score or rnoru of persons who tried to hoot the Arkansas man out of the house. Too Many Xmnes in the 1'rnyer.

It Is some tlmo since Scranton has had a more satisfactory t-tngo production than "Heartsease," which was teen at the Ly ceum last night by an audience fur be low tho merits of tho attraction. "Hcarts caso" Is a romantic comedy of the best typo and wns superbly presented by one of Charles Frohman'h companies, headed by Henry Miller, who was for several years the, leading man of tho Empire Stock company In New York city. Tho plot of the comedy deals with tho fortunes of Krlc Temple, a yoiliu? muMcal composer, who Is In lovo with iMIss Neville, the daughter of a wealthy nouleiiuin. He lias writ ten an opera with which be hopes to win fame and fortune, and through them tho sanction of his sweetheart's father to their marriage. Through the machina tions of Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, who Is also In love with the young woman, ho Is robbed of his opera, and Is placed in n. false position in the estimation of his sweetheart and her family. Ills opera Is subsequently pieduecd under a dlllerelt title, Ills rival posing ns the composer. The song "Hi-artease" in the opera leads to the detection of the theft and fraud that havo been committed. With the aid of his sweetheart, who Is now thoroughly convinced of her lover's honesty, the rightful composer triumphs. Kile, after the scene at the opera, ac companies ills friend. Captain O'Hnra, to his chambers, with the Intention of re turning across the channel In the morn ing. A challenge comes tram the villain, Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, whose vanishing glory must be sustained by blood, and it is promptly accepted. Eric, exhausted, sinks to rest, when In comes Peter Pad bury, the money lender, with new proof of tho operatic theft by ids whilom pa tron, Pomfret. Tho captain goes out with him to mill tho damning evidence, leaving tho door ajar and in comes Hon. Miss Neville, well nigh distraught over the rumor that Eric Is to light her now detested liancee, Pom fret. In a strong scene she becomes reconciled to her lover. At this Juncture the duellists are heard approaching, and Eric begs her to conceal herself, to save her honor. Delimit for his safety, slm Insists that It Is his honor ugalnst herf, and his refusal to light will bo her safe guard. After much hesitation at this bitter sac liilce he consents, ui'd who disappears be hind the portiere, and the party is ad mitted. Eric refuses to meet the furious Pomfret, who now proceeds to unload a surplus of Invective. He receives thrice tho blow of the gauntlet, when Miss Nev ille appears, releasing him from bond age by the command, "Fight him!" Th" astonished boaster, Pomfret, reels back. Eric lias cast aside his ill-fitting com of cowardice and Is at him. The sword of Justice never wavers and It pinked the frenzied braggart time and again, until crestfallen Lord Neullo and his train c.ime in nnd stopped the light, and gave honrr to whom It was due, and true hearts were united at last beyond the shallow of a doubt. Mr. Mlllir's Eric Temple was a work of art. At tho close of the second act there is a strong scene between Temple and his bister which called forth generous applause, but at the end of the third act when Mr. Mllelr indulges In the only real "fireworks" of the comedy he quite car ried his audience by storm and was com pelled to como before the curtain and bow his thanks. Mr. Miller has few supe riors in Imparting delicate touches. If he has an apparent fault It Is tho air of re pression that marks his woik save at the do-io of the third act and the duel sceno in the fourth, hi these he gives full vent to the emotional and It becomes apparent that tho repression In the other scenes is merely to make tin strong ones more im pressive by contrast. He showed tUe nl?o discrimination the artM displays lit com bining the colors of a picture in his meth od of handling t.e lights und shades of the con.edy. Miss Margaret Dale made a fine impres sion by her Impersonation of the role of the Hon. Miss Neville and Thomas A. Hall, Arthur Elliot, Frank lieamlsh, Prince Lloyd, Leslie Allen, Miss Maud Hosford and Miss Josephine Lovett proved a worthy supporting company for tho star. Tho staging of tho comedy was beauti ful and historically correct. The lobby of Covent Garden theater In London was reproduced in the third act as it appeared in 17So. Trnvc.ty on the (.'cNlin.

The play Is in thre- acts picturing Nellie Fly, an American newspaper correspond ent's trip around the world. The play af fords Donnelly ami Glrard ample oppor tunity for displaying their well know:) ability as comedians. Interspersed through each act several most excellent s-pecialtles are Introduced by Donnelly and Glrard, Mao Lowry, Glrard and Hi vere, Mark Sullivan, Gillette and Ulack and Charles 11.

Over in Japan tho people never havo dared to build their houses or stores or olllco buildings horo tliun two or three stories high. If they did the next lively earthquake tho.t came along would tumble them nil down. And yet Japan has recently made Ung stride toward civilization and is introducing many of the wonders of human Indust ry which have characterized the civi lization of America nnd Europe. Keeently an architect has drawn plans for a ilfteen-atory "Hkyscraper" to be built In the city of Toklo, and the money has been secured to com plete tho work. It will have tho usual steel framework, and Its architect thinks that no earthquake ever will shake It down. No doubt when It Is completed It' will be u most remark able sight, standing as It will, nmong tho low buildings of the city. It will bo provided with elevators, and the Japanese will have an opportunity for the first time of experiencing the sen sation of falling ten or fifteen stories and landing safely. m .Movements on Foot, Jinks "There Is a man who lias a num ber of movon.cr.ts on foot or making money."

In thp.cross suit, in which Martin was the prosecutor nnd Alder man Kelly the defendant, the Jury re turned a verdict of not guilty by direc tions of court, but could not agree on the disposition of the costs. They also were discharged. Tills second case was tried before? Judge Gunster in court room No. '1 nnd was the llrst called yeoterday morning. Ilie charge was that of extorting Ille gal fees. John Martin, the prosecutor, was the only witness to testify. Ho snld ho went to Alderman Kelly's oluee to get an attachment for a man who Intended to skip out and defraud him of a bill he owed. The alderman suc ceeded In collecting the money but the greater part of It was retained for fees, the alderman charging up the expenses of n criminal suit, a civil suit and an attachment. Martin demutred, saying he had not directed a criminal suit to lie Hied but th alderman insisted he bad and withhold the costs for the same. For this the urosecutlon was brought and out of Martin's allegations In the case, the case of perjury grew-. CASE NOT MADE OUT. " . When this testimony had been given the commonwealth rested. Hon. John P. Kelly and W. W. Baylor, attorneys for the defense, ntked to have the case taken from the Jury on the grounds that it had not been shown but that all three suits for which the alderman charged had been regularly brought. Judge Gunster said no case had been made out and directed n verdict of not guilty. The disposition of the costs he, however, said was a matter for the Jury arid ho sent them out to deliberate. They came in about nn hour later with the recommendation that the costs be divided equally, between the prosecu tor and the county. Tbo Judge would not accept this finding nnd sent them back once more. At !1.30, after being out four hours thev came in and re ported they could not agree.. Judge Gunster discharged them, hut before doing so he read them a little lecture, telling them there was no reason why they should not have agreed. He dis missed them from further attendance at court this week. ngl"ctlng tho usu al "with the thanks of the court."

Jenkins' hotel, on the night of Oct. 12, lS'JG. Jones had a larae diamond sot ting In a ring but when he woke up in the morning from a sleep on one of the tables, the vetting was gone. A short time later Courtright sold the diamond to Jeweler Itogers. The de fense was that h'e found the diamond on the saloon lloor, was hard up at the time; kept It and sold it with the in tention of buying It back ngain If any body claimed It. The Jury was out at adjournment. Domlnlek Youkobskl wns tried before Judge Gunster on two ehnnres of ns sault and battery preferred respective ly by Joseph Matullevlez and wife of Lloyd street. It appears that tho pros ecutor keeps a boarding house and that on Christmas day, last year, a crowd of men from a rival boarding house came over to his place and raised general ruction. Yutikobskl was no worse than the other assailants, it would seem, but he would not humble himself after tho custom of his country, by getting down on ills knees and kissing the aggrieved party's hand, and so wns called upon to make reparation In court. The Jury went out just before adjournment. Assistant District Attorney Thomas nnd K. C. Newcomb represented tho commonwealth and M. J. Walsh ap peared for the defendant. Constable Setli Smith wats n principal figure In two eases that were furnished by the Providence end of the city.

The Jury had not returned a verdict at adjournment. As sistant District Attorney Lowry repre sented the commonwealth and Taylor & Lewis, the defense. A CONSTABLE CHARGED. In the second case, also tried before Judge MeClure, Constable Smith was charged with assault and battery upon Mrs. Elizabeth Mahon, He went to her house to servo a writ of dispos session, and. It was claimed by the de fendant, assaulted Mrs, Mahon. Tho de. ft-nso showed that quite conclusively that Mrs. Mahon met tho constable with a coffee pot, and that he had to use force to execute his duty. The jury id not guilty; county pay the costs. T. P. Duffy appeared with Assistant District Attorney Lowry for the prose cution, and C. W. Dawson, of Vosburg & Dawson, looked after tho defense. Edwurd Bnggott was arraigned be fore Judgo Edwards to unswer for stealing a suit of clothes and some other articles from the homo of Mrs. Sarah D. Lee, of Lloyd Htreet, where he formerly boarded. Tho testimony of the prosecution was that when ho quit tho boarding house he took a suit of clothing belonging to Mrs. Lee's son.

When our buyers strike a. particularly rare bargain, we pass the benefit on to our customers. Not a penny is ever added to price because goods are worth more than our cost. The Wanamaker History Club illustrates this. By undertaking to sell One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars' worth of Ridpath's History of the World we secured an entire edition at unheard-of figures. This history has never been sold for less than $S to $175 per set, accord ing to binding. Over 50,000 sets have been sold at these prices. Would 50,000 people pay more than worth ? A very slight reduction would have sold out the entire edition in our two stores but our policy Cuts the Price in Half.
