W. J. M' ANDREW INJURED
Wagon 111 Miich Ho Was Hiding
Struck by a Trolley Cur.
W. J. McApdrew, a huckster, was
badly huit last evening about ti o'clock
by being struck and diagged along the
ground by car No. KOI of the Scranton
Traction company. The accident hap
pened in front of John O'Connor's
hotel, on Robinson street, and accord
ing to eye-witnesses 11 was a narrow
escape lrom death for the lnjuied man.
Mr. McAndrew was picked up and
taken into Mr. O'Connor's hotel nnd
later was taken to the Lackawanna
hospital, where an examination of his
Injuries showed that he was suffering
from mmieious bruises about, the back
nml a sprained knee.
Shortly after the accident a Tribune
rcpoiter tnlked with McAndrew nnd
his stoiy in substance was as follows:
He drives a team and together with a
friend, Christ folium, was on his way
down Roblnon stieet to the central
city. Ho waw on the light-hand side
of the street and started to cross over
to the left side. A considerable dls
tnnco above him the street car was
coining down In-bound. He thought
ho had sulllclent time and room to
cioss and did not rein In. He mis
judged 'the "-need ot tho car.
Just as he was almost out of danger's
way, the car caught the wagon, which
Is a light spring one, near the hind
wheels nnd partly overturned It. His
f 1 lend Jumped, but he tried to pull out.
The upturning of the vehicle thiew lilifi
out and the car's momentum cairled
the wreck and himself at least two
car lengths forward, judging fiom the
track In the mud. He complained of
being numb fiom his thighs down and
when moved would cry out.
Bystanders .-elzod tho horses and the
car was brought to n stop, the Injured
man picked up, and the w reek cleared
so that the car could proceed, The
rail nil along the stieet, which inclines
slightly here, Is very slippery, owing
to the mud. etc.
Mc Andrew Is well-know n.havlnir for
merly U'slded In North Scranton, and
has been In the hueksleiing business
fur several years, lie Is a. very heavy
man. weighing about 21." pounds, nnd
the shock of the fall and the dragging
was severe. '

GREAT CRUSH AT
THE BAUER CONCERT
Bandmaster Was Presented sad Deco
rated Willi a Beautiful Medal.
CAMB FROM A1BMDGRS OP DAND
Tim Presentation Spocch Was Mado
by rrcd C. Hnnd--A Speech from
Mr. Ilnuor Was Demanded liut Ho
was Too Much Overcome With
Hurprlso to Hcpond--Tho Concert
Wns llxccllcnt in Ail Its Features.
No such crush has ever been seen
at a concert lu Scranton as that which
greeted Robert J. Bnuer and his band
on tho occasion of .their benefit last
evening ut the Lyceum. At noon yes
terday not a seat was to be had In tho
house, nnd Inst evening standing room
wus glndly taken by many ndmlrers of
this popular musical organization.
The house presented a brilliant ap
pearance with the occupants of boxes
In evening dress with unbonneted la
dles In pit nnd balcony. The stage was
tastefully decorated. It was 11 repre
sentative audience in nil respects that
crowded the building. '.Society and
muslcul circled were out In full force,
and It was a most enthusiastic as
semblage. Every member was greeted
with wild applause nnd It was evident
that the listeners were willing to stay
all night If need be to secure encores
enough. '
At the conclusion of the second num
ber Mr. Bauer was presented with n.
magnificent basket of roges, and later
on Fred C. Hand appeared and spoke
ns follows:
MR. HAND'S REMARKS.
Ladles and Gentlemen: on behalf of
the members of Bauer's band permit mo
to thank you for your presence here this
evening. So luiifu and cultured an audi
ence as this Is well calculated to en
courage, and any organization might well
feel proud to appear before it.
The members of tho baud, ns well ns
Its dlicctnr, upprtclnte the compliment
paid them by jou tonight, In the gener
ous patronage thus extended.
This expression ot thanks on the part
of the bund, hovroter, 1 think would not
be hall so emphatic were it not that on
the part of those present hero this even
ing there Is u magnificent reciprocal feel
ing, it has been felt und expressed by
many of those who enjoy such muslc.il
treats us tli's that tho opportunity
should bo given moie frequently of at
tending a concert given by this band In
which we all take such pride, and I feel
usxurcd I voice the sentiments ot all
present when 1 make tho request that
Mr. Bauer give us a lepetltlou of this
concert In the near futuie, ihus giving
us an opportunity of giving our fur
ther sunpoit which this band s-o richly
deserves.
One docs not peed a saagt breast In
older 10 be soothed, edified, refined and
altogether ennobled by such struins as
aro born at the command ot this im
pel lat organization.
The divine harmony of the angels' song
mid ot the music of tho spheres may bo
all tho moie easily apprehended utter
such presentations ns nie In tho power ot
our own and only Bauer's band.
And now. Professor baucr, it is my
plensant pilrllcge on this auspicious oc
casion to present to you, en behalf of the
members of your baud, a token of their
esteem lu tho shape, of this bcautllul
medal. Coming from those with whom
von have been so closely and Intimately
associated. It will no doubt prove doubly
valunblo In your eyes and will be cher
ished of your long connection with this
musical organization, of which jou aie
tho honored director.
THE INSCRIPTION.
Tho Inscription upon its face reads us
follows "Presented as a token to I. J,
Bauer, by Bauer's Band, Scran 1 ju, Pa.,
Jan. 21, 1S0S, on tho completion of twenty-one
years us director. Band organized
July, 1STC."
It Is the hope not only of the members
of your band, but of nil your ninny
friends th.it the hallo of renown which
nlre.idy encircles your head may Increase.
In glory as tho years glide onward, and
that you may nnd that high apprecia
tion of your efforts and tho splendid ser
vice of your band, to which you aro
so freely entitled by virtue of your ruro
merit. I um satlplled your appreciation
of tills token of esteem, high as It must
be, will not equal the devotion of Its
donors to your Interest and their en
joyment of your modest confusion on Its
reception.
Mr. Bauer stepped forward to be dec
orated amid the applause of the house,
from which came an emphatic demand
for a speech, but Mr. Bauer was rather
too much overcome with surprise- and
emotion to make nn address and, after
standing a moment In Indecision, ho
lied behind the scenes.
Bauer and his band, of course, played
brilliantly. Tho inspiration of the wel
come given to It entered into their
work nnd they never seemed to stir
their hearers w 1th the swing and swell
of their music as on this occn.slon. Tho
Sousa marches they had to give must
have nearly exhausted the list, but
other popular pieces made particularly
familiar by this band were added ud
Infinitum, as no one was In a hurry to
leuve.
PRESS CLUB MARCH.
The first number was Alexander's
new march, "Press Club." It was fol
lowed by Suppe's "Hunting for Luck,"
a dance, a polka caprice, and a fan
tnsla. made up of English, Scotch and
Irish airs. The last named was re
ceived with Insistent applause.
A Strausa wnltz and Sousa's latest
march. "The Brlde-elect," completed
the tegular programme. Tho last,
much like others by the popular com
poser, pleased everyone. Among- the
delightful features was a trombone
solo by Mr. John Tuin, played with
great flexibility and expression. Mr.
Turn was compelled to respond to an
encore.
John T. Wntkins was lu excellent
voice and the effect of. hlstudy abroad
wus more than ever noted In tho
splendidly sustained notes and the in
creased compass of his great basso.
Ills first selection, "The Toreador
Song," from Carmen, has seldom been
equalled on u Scranton stage, often as
that favorite has been rendered by
noted artists in opera. As an encore
he sang most pleasingly "Love's Old,
Sweet Song." His second selection,
tho Armorer's song from "Robin
Hood," was given with beautiful ef
fect. To say that the entire concert woh
a great success Is to express it but
mildly.
AN INTERESTING PRO0RAMME.
Rendered nt tho Meeting of Scranton
Iliikinefis Collogo Lyceum.
An enthusiastic meeting or the Ly
ceum of tho Scranton Business college
was held nt the college rooms last
night and the following programme
rendered: Reading, Miss Mary O'Don

BOULEVARD TO HARVEY'S LAKE.
Itonte Tlmt It Will Truvcrso Hns
Ilocii Surveyed.
A new boulevard Is being talked ot
between Wllkcs-Bnrre and Hnrvey'w
Lake, passing Dallas. Surveyors havo
laid out a route. Tho distance to Dai
Ins will be two miles shorter than by
the present route.
The road will run from Dorrnnceton
to Luzerne borough, then to tho left of
the present roadway, and will not como
In contact with any of the railroads. It
will cross near Dallas and will run
past the Sanitarium hotel, nnd wilt
then continue to Harvey's Lake, ter
minating at what Is known ns the Out
let station,
The principal advantage of the boule
vard, aside of the excellent roadbed,
will be that tho grade will not bo over
1 per cent., which is scarcely appre
ciable nscent. On one side will be a
pathway especially for bicyclists.
BREAKER TOWER BURNED
At the 0ld" Jcrrayn Shalt on the East
Side, Jermyn Threatened Break.
cr Saved by the Firemen.
Fire last night totally destroyed the
tower, und the machinery It contained,
at the "Old" Jermyn shaft of the Dela
wuio and Hudson company nt Jermyn.
The tower was connected witn the
breaker at Its top- by a trestle twenty
feet long, but the breaker was saved
by the borough firemen, The damage
amounted to from $12,000 to $15,000.
The shaft Is on the east side of the
liver and In the borough. The ninety
live chambers In tho mine have all
been worklnir full time and four
hnnded. The output wns t,200 tons of
coal dally. About S00 hands at the col
liery are thrown temporarily out of
employment. Nobody wns in the mine
Inst night.
The fire was dlscoveied at lLO.!
o'clock hy the watchman while he wus
In the fnn-house, about 230 yards from
the tower. The tlames. were bursting
from the engine room at the head of
the shaft and rapidly spread to the
whole Interior of the tower.
Tho watchman gave the alarm and
the Artesian company, of the East Side,
and the Crystals, from across the river,
quickly responded. I'ntll their nrrlvnl
It was Impossible for the many per
sons at the breaker to do anything, as
the place was not equipped with hose.
Thomns Hunter nnd Joseph Tennis,
outside and Inside foiemen, respective
ly, aided In directing tho woik of the
firemen. It was apparent they could
do nothing to quench the lire In the
tower, which wus a seething furnace.
Their efforts to save the breaker des
pite the connecting trestle and tenillc
heat weie. fa voted by a good water
pressure.
After burning an hour the tower col
lapsed and twenty minutes later the
still burning debt Is had been sutllclent
ly quenched to pi event It spreading to
the breaker.

PASSION PLAY IS
SHOWN BY LECTURE
Famous Ceremony of Baravlnn Peas
nnlB Told a Scranton Audience.
AIDED BY STERE0PTIC0N VIEWS
Rev. .1. J. Lculi, Who in 18UO wan
Present nt tho Ohernnimorgnu
Pcrformnnco nntt Secured .Mnny ol
Ills Views on tho Spot, Told tho
Htory of tho Plny--Ilns llcon n
Religion Cnromony, Given I'.rcrv
Ton Years, Slnco lOiill.
Rev. J. J. Lewis, of Chicago, gave
his famous lecture of the Passion play
nt Obcrammcrgau for the first tlmo
in this state at the Young Men's Chris
tian association hall last evening. A
large audience wns highly pleased with
ti new wuy of telling tho old story of
the crucifixion and the Incidents pre
ceding and succeeding It. It was re
lated by Mr. Lewis In a reverential but
cntertulnlng way, and was accompan
ied by tome of the best stercoptlcon
vI'wh ever seen In Scranton.
Most of the views were obtained by
Mr. Lewis on the occasion of his visit
to ObPrammergnu In the Bavarian Alps
In 1800. This was one of the occasions
of the presentation of the play by the
peaFunts. It Is given every ten years
In the little mountain hamlet as the
fulfillment of a vow made In 1G3S, when
Europe was visited by tho "Black
Dcuth." The Inhabitants resolved that
should they escape Its ravages they
would present the Passion piny every
ten yeais, and this vow they huve sac
ledly kept, it has become so famous
that thousands are attracted from all
parts of the wculd to see It.
Over eight hours Is actually tequlred
to give the play at Oberammergau, so
Mr. Lewis Is obliged to greatly con
dense his story und crowd much Into
a brief space of time. The Introductory
pnit. of the lecture Included some beau
tiful views taken enroute from Munich
to Oberammergau, und of the village
Itself of the peasants who present the
play and their home life.
PEASANTS ALONE CAN TAKE
PART.
Mr. Lewis emphnsized a fact to be
remembered, that the peasants alone
take part, and that the Isolated con
dition In which they live In Europe
should not be forgotten. They live for
the Passion play, and to real has It
become to them through centuries of
Inheiltance nnd experience thnt they
actually live the life divine. In the
interim of the plays the male actors
spend most of their time In carving
religious subjects' from wood.
The play Is given on a large stage.
Tho Hcenery shows the temple In the
center, the Via Dolorosa and the home
of Pontius Pilate. A series of tableaux
and speaking parts cover the events In
the life of Christ during Passion week
and culminating In His crucifixion.
Much interest centered in the plc-
tures of Joseph Maler, who lias por
trayed the Chrlstus since 1870, and who
may assume that character in 1900, al
though he .suffers greatly and has aged
consldeiably fiom the effects of an ac
cident while logging. It was wonder
ful to observe the growth In spiritual
beauty In the development of Maler's
features from his 1S70 portrait to that
of 1S90.
Mr. Lewis rcmaiked thnt during the
performance one marvelled on the re
markable genius displayed In the selec
tion of the peasants for the parts they
portrayed, whether It was Mary, the
mother of Jesus; Calapha.s, the high
priest; Mary and Martha, Joseph or
Nlcodemus. This was borne out In a
sti Iking manner by the more than life
size views shown of the disciples, the
judges and rabbis and the other male
and the female characters.
NATURAL FACES.
Only those of Judas. Barabbas nnd
the fallen Magdalene were "made up."
The othel s wer natural faces and fig
ures, their clothing only being special
ly designed, and without the aid of the
lecturer their Identity of those most
familiar could be easily established.
In having so able an assistant as
Frank Bean, of Chicago, Mr. Lewis Is
fortunate. Mr. Bean managers tho
stcieoptlcono well that the beautiful
dissolving views are a series of de
lights. The lecture has been given over
1,500 times, over fifty times In Boston
alone. If Mr. Lewis is again heard In
Scranton ho will be greeted by another
big audience. ,
