CARRIED TO HARRISBURO. Fight for Eppsteln's Freedom Taken to the Capital. When the thrice-adjourned hearing in the Eppstein habeas corpus case was resumed yesterday morning. Chief of Police Gurrell produced a telegram from Harrisburg showing that the governor of Illinois had made applica tion for extradition papers, and con trary to tho expectations of Mr. Vidn ver, nttorney for Eppstein, Judge Gunster decided to hold tho matter over until Harrisburg had acted on the requisition. Mr. Vidaver was not at all non plussed. He had anticipated such an outcome nnd to the great surprise of the police displayed a telegram ac knowledging the receipt of his pro test against the granting of the papers and announcing that a hcurlng had been arranged for Tuesday next. Eppsteln's ball was continued In tho Interim. Assistant City Solicitor M. J. Walsh represents the chief of police In the proceedings. Worth Examining.

Its Membership for Years Included Many of tho Prominent Residents of tho City Something About tho Entertainments It Conducted Of Recent Years Interest in tho Club Has Lagged and It Has Seen a Hnrd Tnsk to Keep It Alive Quar ters That It Occupied. While tho Seranton Rowing associ ation is about to go out of existence, many a moon will come and go before the organization ceases to be n recol lection. It has had a wild and varied career, but, numbering ns It hns among its members young nnd old men, Jolly and sad men, social nnd political men, strnlght und crooked men, Its final gasp tor existence will not witness tho end of memory of It. It is about to sell its furniture and die the least violent death possible, but In years to come those who have been upon Its roster and many who havo not, will continue to recall the Inci dents of the "long pulls and strong pulls" which hnve sent It forward and backward during the twenty-four years of Its life. Its title was not originally a mis nomer for when It was organized nwny back in 1871 tho members really did some rowing. The association began with n boat house and gigs, shells and other boating paraphernalia on the Providence dam. A few years later, however, the mines became linklnd and distributed their culm and other refuse Into tho narrow channel of the Lackawanna river, the current gradu ally washing the stuff Into tho dnm, making It too shallow and otherwise untenable for rowing purposes. Water races nnd other ncquatlc events were abandoned on the river, though some of the more enthusiastic members continued to have sporadic attacks of boating fever and gave vent to their tastes on the waters of Lako Ariel. The organization then acquired a social tone and the club's rooms were established in 'the old board of trade building on Lackawanna nvenue. There it occupied three rooms on tho second floor, a billiard parlor in the tear and two front rooms. LEADING SOCIAL CLUB. There was no Bachelor organization then nnd tho Rowing association be enme the recognized swell social club of the town. Its members included some of the best known young nnd middle aged men. They gave suppers and dances nnd were recognized as quite the proper thing. It wus while quartered In the Lackawannn avenue building that the association cave a two-night minstrel show which turned tho city upside down and gave some of the members reputations ns burnt cork nrtists which they will not out grow until death claims them. In mak ing that statement, sarcasm is not Intended. It Is true that few if nny professionals have given better min strel shows In this city. The show was given two nlshts in the Academy of Music. Seats In the peanut gallery were reserved at 75 cents each and there was not a vacant seat In the house either night. Major T. F. Penman, the present revenue collector, was Interlocutor. George Mitchell, ex-presldent of the board of control, and "Tom" Moore, the well known insurance man, were the "bones." Tho "tamboes" were Dolph Atherton, secretary of tho board of trade, and Will Rockwell. Marion S. Cann was manager of the show. For over four months he drill ed the performers. The rehearsals were faithfully and vigorously con ducted nnd in private, with tho re sult, that scores who expected to see a display of ridiculous buffoonery and burlesque were ngrceably disappoint ed. Bauer's orchestra in black face and sparkling uniforms, furnished the music. About thirty association mem bers appeared In the company olio. It fell to the honor of Interlocutor Penman, the amateur, to spring the electric diamond shirt stud which Is to this day used by variety and min strel men. He secured the desired ef fect by using a pocket battery which furnished the sparkle to the incandes cent diamond. IN THE COMPANY. In the august company of performers were "Jerry" Chittenden. f'Bllly" Welsh. "Andy" Bedford. "Walt" Dick .son, Henry W. Ifllngsbury, Everett Warren "Bob" Seranton, "Charley" Sanderson, "Bob" Penman, and others equally as well known. The personel accounts for tho fashionable nudlences. Dolph Atherton sang nn original comic song which was written by Lew Dockstader, tho famous professional minstrel. Mr. Atherton made a trip to New York for the especial purpose of asking Dockstader to write it. He consented and when he visited Seran ton with his own minstrel show the following year the Rowing association marched Into the theater In a body, giving their money and their presence ns acknowledgment "of Dockstader's service to them. A "german" was tho concluding fea turo of the two nights of the associa tion minstrels. The "ladles" wore their sister's full dress gowns. Mnnv of these sisters regretted their generos ity later when the said gown were re turned to them begrimed and almost unrecognizable. Several of these ele gant costumes were ruined during tho celebration in the early hours of the morning on which tho active spirits of tho company "wound up" their suc cess. Tho next season saw the "Pirates of Penzance" produced by the associa tion for the benefit of the Lackawanna hospital. Mr. Cann was again man ager. The opera was sung two nights nnd $1,300 net profit was made for charity. From Lackawanna avenue the as sociation moved its homo to tho dwell ing house at the corner of Wyoming avenuo nnd Mulberry street. Mean while interest In its affairs had lagged and it was on tho verge of collapse several times. In each Instance the more loyal members shook tho organi zation into temporary shape. IAST QUARTERS. The last stand was made In the as sociation s nnai nomo on tho upper floors of 410 Spruce street. For yeurs the social feature of tho association was crowded out until it became nn informal political debating society. If nny detail of political gossip escaped tho groups accustomed to congregate about the rooms, such detail has yet to be reported, Tho advent of tho Seranton club and its splendidly appointed establishment In the Board of Trade building robbed the association of the Interest of its most Influential members and began the end of tho association's finish. PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY. Not Piled by Bellman & Co,, but by H. W. Bellmnn, Individually. With reference to tho Associated Tress dispatch from Pittsburg printed In yesterday's Tribune stating that Bellman & Co., of Throop, had filed a petition In bankruptcy we have been requested to say that tho petition wns filed personally by H. W. Bellman, and did not concern tho firm trading un der the name of Bellmnn & Co., which for more than fivo yenrs has discount ed all Its bills nnd is doing so today with credit unimpaired. The error was evidently made by tho Associated Press reporter at Pittsburg In confusing tho nnmes. This Is tho first time the new bank ruptcy law was called to operate in a Lackawanna county case. It had to be taken to Pittsburg because of the fact that no commis sioner hns been appointed for this district as yet. It is not Improb able that this may hasten tho nppolnt ment of a commissioner. George C. Yocum is prominently mentioned for tho ofiice. MADE A RICH HAUL. Work of Masked Burglars at Dick son City Early Tuesday Morn ingBound tho Watchman. Masked men sandbagged, bound and gagged Nlght-Wntchmnn Brcnnan nt tho JMckson City brewery eariy yes terday morning, as briefly told in yes terday's Tribune and broke open the safe. They secured nbout 5800 in cnsli, diamonds and other valuables to the total value of $1,5C0. No rluo to the identity of the men was obtained during yesterday. Tho watchman was unable to glvo more than a very meagre description of them. What llttlo Information tho brewery officials could obtain was tele phoned yesterday to all tho cities nnd towns throughout this region, but with slight hopes of apprehending tho men or recovering, the plundei. Tho burglars evidently know their "lay" very well. Much money Is de posited in the safe every Monday night. On that day collectors make thrtlr returns for Saturday nnd Sun day's deliveries. This .accounts for tho largo nmount of money secured. Tho Jewels belonged to General Manager Hofnngle, whoso homo is next to tno brewery nnd who had deposited them In tho safe for safety. Watchmen Biennan's story is that whllo standing smoking In the hall way near the front of tho building ho was felled to tho floor and rendered partiallv unconscious Ly a blow on tho head. Ho was struck with a sandbng or some other blunt Instrument. How tho watchman's assailants gained en trance is not known. As soon as Brennan was struck down he realized that two men were upon him and had gagged him. Three others then appeared. All wore musks and significantly displayed revolvers. To a question of ono of the men, Brennan shook his head. Indicating that he knew nothing of where the money was kept. This dumb response did not disconcert the Intruders, one of whom remarked, "Never mind; we'll get it all right." For a half hour Brennan lay helpless. When the cracksmen returned to tho room In which they had deposited the watchman, ho indicated that he wished to speak to them. He did this to Indicate that he realized the seri ousness of the situation but was not frigntcned. He got a blow for his pains. One of tho men hit him a blow on the head with a revolver. Satisfied that Brennan was unable to give nn alarm, the men absented themselves and spent the next fifteen minutes in refreshing themselves with copious drinks of beer. In leaving tho brewery, the men caused n dog In the yard of Manager Hofnngle to bark. Mr. Hofnaglo arose but was unablo to quiet the animal. Ho considered its vicious barking with suspicion and dressed hurriedly. He went to the brewery and found Bren nan ns the burglars had left him. Further Investigation showed tho safe minus its outside combination fixture. It had been forced off and the bolts worked back as only experts could do it. Brennan says tho masks of two of the men had been removed before they made their second visit to him. He would know them, ho says, if he saw them again. Two of the gang were short, two wero of medium build, and one was tall and heavy. WAS A NARROW ESCAPE. Runaway Car Cuts Fender from An other That Crossed Its Path. There was a very narrow escape from a street car catastrophe on Mul berry street hill last evenlnc, at 6.15 o'clock. A Petersburg car ran away at Monroe avenue, through the fail ure of the brakes to work and dashed down the hill. A heavily-loaded Laurel Hill car was going up Madison avenue nnd was part way over the crossing when the motormnn saw the runaway car. He reversed the power and the front of his car was just clearing the cross ing when the runaway whizzed by carrying tho fender of the Laurel Hill car with It. The runaway left the tracks at the curve on Jefferson avenue and came to a stop after cutting ruts in the new Mulberry street pave for about twice Its own length. There was only one passenger aboard, a woman, and she was pre vented from Jumping by the conductor who cllmped up to the seat she was occupying when he saw her rising to her feet, forced her to sit down nnd held her until the car came to a stand still.

C.SNYDER 311 Spruce Street, Opp. Hotel Jcrmyn MADE SHORT WORK OF WILLIAMS' CASE AUSTRALIAN WAS DONE TOR IN SIXTY-TWO SECONDS. Judge Dazed the Ex-Champion of tho Antipodes With Hla First Blow nnd Finished Him Almost Before tho Echo of tho Gong Had Died Away Williams Open Tac tics Made Him EaBy for tho Shif ty Seranton Lad A Sweeping Challenge. It took Jim Judge, Scranton's wel terweight wonder, JUBt sixty-two sec onds to mnko Tom Williams, ex-champion of Australia and ex-clalmant of anything In the pugilistic champion ship line. "The bloody mon is a fast punlshcr, ain't he?" was Williams quasl-solllo-quy when he came back from his dally in Dazeland, five minutes after being helped to his dressing room. Judge simply couldn't help whipping nny man of his heft who would fight ns Williams did. The Anglo-Australian Is a slugger nnd fights entirely with his beef. Judge Is a scientific, hard-hitting, heady fighter of the Corbett school. Without waiting to do any measur ing or fiddling for an opening Wil liams began to swing" nnd upper cut blindly. Judge received a couple of hard ones on the shoulder nnd top of the head nnd nn upper-cut that would have been disastrous had not Its force been broken on tho breast before slid ing under tho chin. LANDED ON THE JAW. Ho cot In ono hard clean blow on Williams' Jaw, but tho latter was nt him with a rush as if nothing had happened. Judge went back Into the northeast corner with Williams pounding nt him hot and heavy. With his back against the ropes ho caught Williams' ducked head with a full right hander. Williams was straight, ened up with the forco of the blow nnd while his face wns thus unpro tected and mind In a maze, Judge let him havo three or four of his fam ous llghtnlngf-Hke horizontal hooks sending him to his knees with ono arm hanging outside tho ropes and hla head lolling listlessly on his breast. Williams came to at about "six," but waited for "nine" before getting on his feet. Tho men squared off In the middle of the ring nnd again Wil liams made a rush. Several of his sledge-hammer winders landed around Judge's head, nnd ne had the Seranton boy pretty much excited before the mix-up ended in a clinch near the front of the stage. When they broke Judge assumed the aggressive nnd with a descending right-hand swing full on tho face started tho Australian reeling. Three or four quick, hard books placed at will finished it. Williams went to the floor face downward and though he squirmed and struggled to regain his feet could not part company with the boards, and at "ten" gave up In de spair and laid prone and still until his seconds carried him off. FIRST BLOW DID IT. Everybody yelled like mad and seemed satisfied that they had gotten their money's worth despite the brev ity of the entertnlnment. Williams told his seconds afterwards that he wasn't "right" after the very first blow that Judge landed. He thinks he was done by a chance blow and wants to fight again, being willing, he says, to put up good money to get an other chance. Williams is a well-built welter weight, without, however, any particu larly good features to his make-up. Judge had the best of him In height and reach, and, of course, in skill and shiftiness was far the superior. Wil liams undoubtedly is a good fighter, but not against a man of Judge's style. The men fought at 112 pounds. Wil liams was seconded by Harry Davis, Tom Rourke, Jerry Donnelly and Thomas F. Kelly, tho latter of Brook lyn. In Judge's corner were Bobby Dobbs, William Dobbs, Frank Eckels and Pat Hopkins. M. II. Kclley was referee, and the timekeepers were Al Rose, Ed. Coleman and "Doc" Ibblns. About 600 spectators, including some of the city's representative men, were present. A preliminary between two Plttston embryos, Mitchell and Gallagher, was won by the former in two punches. It furnished great amusement during the half-minute thut it lasted. At the conclusion of tho final bout Harry Hopewell announced for Jack Skelly that Judge was ready with money to fight any welter-weight in the world. Arrested for Taking Bottles.
