A llngeiiRC Check.
Tho namo of James T. Kelly associated
with the title of "A Baggage Check," tho
farco comedy which is nnnounced for tho
llrst half of next week at tho Academy is
sufficient guarantee that tho perform
ances will be worthy of patronage. Fur
thermore this production of Ulaney's
most laughable comedy will bo noticeublo
for the fact that tho piece has under
gone recent revision, nnd has been more
than brightened by tho 'Mtroductlon or
nil tho latest popular song successes. In
deed It Is promised that many of tho
popular airs which nro still fresh In New
York city will be heard for tho llrst tlmo
on tho occasion of tho Islt of this com
pany. A Hunch nl Keys,
Hoyfs "A Bunch of Keys," polished up
to dato will bo presented at tho Academy
of Music Thurbday, Friday nnd Saturday
Feb. 17, 18 and 19. This rattling farce,
comedy Is a satire on hotel life, but could
bo called a parody on all kinds of life.
By many It is considered to be the best
that bears tho name of that well knuwn
wrjter. Tho namo of Hoyt alono is
enough to assure tho theater going pub
lie a good hearty laugh. The plot of 'A
Bunch of Keys" Is one of tho funniest
ever uuuceiveu. j. ittrce comeuy with a
plot is a novelty in Itself, although "A
Bunch of Keys" Is one of (he earliest of
Hoyfs endeavors. New lines, songs,
dances, medleys nnd lines havo been
ndded which gives a freshness to tho pe--formance
and an up to date entertain
ment Is given the company this season.

GOGOLIN'S DEATH IN
THE Y. M. C. A. RUINS
Coroner Conducts a Final Hearing in
the Cose.
VICTIM'S NRGLIOENCB THE CAUSE
Thnt wns tho Substance of tho Verdict
Which wns Quickly Reached.
Stroct Commissioner Dnniilnc nnd
Other City Oiliclnli titivo tho W ork
men Ample M nrnlng.-ntilldlng In.
spector Nelson nnd Patrolman Nucls
Testified nt Last Nielli's Hearing.
Street Commissioner A. B. Dunning
and other city olllcials have been re
leased from all blamo or responsibility
for the death of Michael Gogolln, the
street department employe, who wns
crushed to death by a falling wall In
the ruins of the Young Men's Chris
tian association fire.
Coroner Longstrcet laet night con
ducted a continued hearing In the case
before n jury In the arbitration room
nt the court house. The concluding
testimony was heard from two Im
portant witnesses, Building Inspector
John Nelson, who carefully examined
the tottering walls of the association
building and the structures adjoining
on the day following the fire, and Pa
trolman Neuls, of the police depart
ment, who frequently visited the scene
and conversed with the workmen nt
tho ruins Friday night when Gogolln
was at work.
THE VERDICT.
Following was the veidlet of the
Jury;
"After taking Into consideration all
the testimony produced at this Inquest,
we, the undersigned Jurors, find that
all precautions had been exercised by
the olllcials In charge in the discharge
of their duties. Tho walla had been
Inspected; the woikmen had been noti
fied of their dangerous condition and
had been ordered not to go inside of
the ruins. We therefore find that
Michael Gogolln came to his death from
being crushed by a falling wall at the
site of the Young Men's Christian as
sociation fire, and that his death was
caused by his own negligence."
Building Inspector Nelson was the
second witness sworn. In response to
Coroner Longstreet's question he de
fined his ofllclal duties generally, ant
when asked partlculaily concerning his
duty in relation to unsafe walls and
partially demolished buildings read
Section 24, P. IIS, Laws and Digest of
Ordinances (Scranton, 1894), as follows:
" It shall be the duty If tho
Inspector to examine all buildings re
ported dangerous, or damaged by lire
or accident, and to make a record of
such examinations, including the na
ture and amount of such damage, with
the name of the street and the num
ber of tho building, the name of tho
owner and tho lesse, and for what
purpose occupied, and. in case of fire,
tho probable origin thereof.
Said record shall nlways be open to
the inspection of the public."
MR. NELSON ON THE STAND.
Inspector Nelson testified that on the
morning after tho fire, Friday, Feb.
4, he went on the roof of the Powell
building to deteimine the condition of
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion wall. He found It "bulging" nt
the center and "partly sprung" In front
near Wyoming avenue, and notified
Street Commissioner Dunning and the
fire officials that the wall was unsafe
and should be removed. He and Mr.
Dunning saw that a guard was placed
at the Wyoming avenue front to keep
any one from entering the, ruins.
During the afternoon until f o'clock
he and Mr. Dunning were in the alley
at the rear directing the work there.
It wns considered safe to work there,
but not In the ruins. When Mr. Nel
son left at 5 o'clock In the afternoon he
and Mr. Dunning told the men not to
go into tho ruins, to leave the alley
if a wind arose nnd to watch the wall
at all times in any event.
Mr. Nelson's evidence corroborated
that given by Mr. Dunning at a pre
vious hearing to the effect that tho
workmen had been fully warned and
knew the walls were unsafe.
Patrolman Neuls was first sworn.
Ills beat was on Wyoming avenue on
the nights following the fire. On Fri
day night he frequently stopped at tho
ruins for two or three minutes at a
time. He nearly always talked with
some of the men nt work there. They
wero directing streams of water Into
tho ruins.
DID NOT SPEAK OF DANGER.
Once while patrolling the alley at
the rear he entered the ruins, and went
to where two of the men were holding
a hose. The spot was back of the wall
which divided the association structure
In two parts and was remote from the
point further toward the front, where
Gogolln was killed.. None of the men
told Neuls of any danger. He had re
ceived no orders to keep them from
going inside.
After hearing tho evidence the jury
Immediately prepared the verdict.
There was no division of opinion on
the matter.

SOMEONE'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Trolley Pole Fell Into the Street r.t n
Crowded Corner.
A trolley pole became detached from
the overhead wire at the corner of
Lackawanna and Washington avenues
yesterday afternoon at an hour when
that locality was thronged with vehicles
and pedestrians and broke near Its
base after coming In contact with n

It was Discussed Yesterday In Argu
ment Court llandley Executors
Drawn lata tbc Matter.
Among the rases submitted, yester
day, In argument court, was one that
afrected the estates of two deceased
Scrantonians of prominence, Hon. John
llandley and Edward C. Walther.
When the latter died, Attorney Bau
man was appointed guardian of his
three minor children und Judge Hand
ley become Mr. Baum.an's bondsman in
the sum of $2,000. Mr. Bauman in
vested the then Infant children's share
of their father's estate, which was
something like a thousand dollars. He
had many such matters In hand and it
appears that In tho long laps? ot time
and Mr. Bauman's long continued Ill
ness track wni lost of the account.
The Wulfher heirs wnlted a reason
able length of tlmo for a settlement
from their guardl-in nnd when It was
found that this could not be amicably
arrived at a proceeding was arranged
whereby the matter could be settled In
court. This proceeding was In tho
shape of a rule for tho discharge of the
guardian.
If the rule Is made absolute tho
3urety the llandley estate will have
to settle with the Walther heirs and
then the llandley executors and Mr.
Bauman will be called upon to settle
between themselves. The case was
submitted without argument, and if in
some respects an amicable action.

Director Murphy, of Dunmore, nt

called attention to the neglected con
dition of the two sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Klotzer, who reside near the Gypsy
Grove breaker, In Dunmore borough.
Thursday night the boys, who are G

on Director Murphy at his home. They
were cold nnd ragged and hungry, nnd
gave every evidence ot being greatly
neglected.
Mr. Murphy fed and washed them
nnd secured warm, comfortable cloth
ing for them. The stories of tho boye
was to the effect that their father and
mother do- not live happily together.
Thero Is a boarder In the house nnd
Klotzer insists that he receives alto
gether too much attention from Mrs.
Klotzer. To this attention he attri
butes the neglect of tho Klotzer house
hold nffalrs and tho two boys.
After listening to Director Murphy's
statement the board directed him to
see that Mr. and Mrs. Klotzer take
proper care of their offspring, or else
have them place In some of the Insti
tutions for children hereabouts,
Director Fuller, of the home com
mittee, reported that the contract for

TO CHANGE THE ROADS.
When the buildings are removed the

buildings and the barns will be aban
