Kelly, tho Lad Who Was Shot Through the Body Is Still Allvo But His Chances of Surviving Are Vety Slim Zeby and Leonard Brought Down from Carbondale and lodged in the County Jail. Ai tides Found on the Wounded Men Prove Them to Bo Ciooks. ltuniuts Weie ulloul t vatlolis times yesterday that the authorities hud in fected the capture of the sixth of tho Ktuifr of tobbets so badly btoken up by 11111 loach's title at Alt. Arm at. but up to midnight there was nothing to coiiDrm thum. Attests of miiplcluiis characters were common, but the "tall man with gray hulr." so eatfeily sought, was not iiiiitiiit,' them. The country along the Jeflfi.xon branch was scouted by of llcets and t cedents ot the vurluitH places, but tin trace of the robber could be found. It I thought ho Is in hiding: In tin- woods and must event ually fall Into the hands of the la'V. A stranger can not well get out of that cnunti without being seen and noticed. Kelly, the badly wounded boy rob ber, was still alive at the Lackawanna hospital at midnight, and ieorted as "testing easllj." There is a possibil ity, but only a slim one, that he will pull tlitough. rllANl'K ACCjrAINTA.VCr.S. lie and Cummltigs, the other wound ed prlsonei, Kill maintain that tuev wete not asoclated with the other four, and only happened to be with them by the accident of getting aboard the same train with them. Zeby and Leonatd, as they call them selves, were brought down front Cnr- bondale at 10 o'clock yesterday morn lug and lodgpd In the county jail. Kach or them insists that he was traveling independent of the othets and knew nothing about them. The body of the i obiter shot at Arnr.it was bulled there yesteiday by the poor authorities. Chief Holding has a suspicion that this is the same gans that robbed the traction company station at Waverly, X. Y., a week ago Sunday night. They did the same thing at Waverly that wns done at Alayfleld. The four rob bers now in this city are to be phcto granhed and mrasuied by the Bertll llon system and then descriptions sent to the National Bureau of Identifica tion. Him(JI,Al!S' I.MI'I.KAIHNTS.

Pc-tecllve James AtcGrall. of Dun more, succeeded in arresting, single handed, three desperate looking Indiv iduals yesterday morning at Itogan's hotel, on South Blnkely street, In Dun more, and had th"in locked up in the station ho'ise, charged with disorderly conduct. The trio entered Air. Hogun's place of business and demanded food, saying they were able to pay for It. nnd offeted a dollar bill as ptoof ot their s-tatement. Shortly afterward and appateiitly In a. spirit of deviltry, they proceeded to batter down the dooivi, break glasses, ctc until Detective AtcGrall came along and took them In tow. Detective Alolr. of the city police department, went to Dunmore to see if he. coulii Identify any of tliem. They will be given a hearing befote Burgess Powell this morning. ROSENTHAL'S PLAYING.

When Husenthal (seated him) elf quietly at the piano at his llrst con ceit In New York there followed the most astonishing exhibition of piano playing ever heaid In that city, liven Hublnsteln had not such mastery of the key boat d and It was freely ex pressed on all sides that "Paderewskl must look to his laurels." Moriz Hus enthal took New Yotk bv storm. Rosenthal's success, unlike that of otheis In his art, was putely due to his tremendous virtuosity, authoilty of stvle, mastery of technique, abso lute command of an Instrument which seemed to have become a mere play thing In his hands, and a marvelous exhibition of artistic achievement, touching the limits of human possibil ity.

Now He Has a, Very Promising Law Suit to Defend Poz Says He Will Prosecute the Action with Vigor. A very ordinary kind of a dog and a. joke ate responsible for getting ex Deputy Sheriff William Craig Into high temperatute water. "Hilly" Is a Joker of the most nto nounced type. He would lather think out a good practical joke and put It Into operation than eat. Cnfottunate ly sometimes his Jokes get him Into ttouble, Crnlg owned a dog of the bull pat tern that was not very handsome, and not even as useful as he was fair to look upon, but "Hilly" had him for a long time and the members of the Crnlg household wero attached to the brute, although he did cause them an noyance cvety now and then. One day the dog strayed away from home, lost his bearings and Thomas Jones, of 2S01 Frink street, took him In charge. Craig advertised for In formation of the clog and Jones re plied, but in the meantime a chicken had a skirmish with Air. Dog and badly damaged one ot his eyes. When Jones and the dog appeared before Craig the latter gazed ruefully at tho damaged eye and asked Jones which he would prefer, the dog or the i2.no reward promised. Jones took the dog. He placed It in the care of 1!. A. Fox, who conducts the Broadway bird store, on Spruce street, and told him to t-ell it for $1. Fox. to be sure cv eiythlng was all tight, sent word to Craig that the dog was in his store, and Fox avets that Craig re plied that he did not want the heast again for It gave him a good deal of ttouble. "A few days ago." continued Fox, In relating his troubles ye.sterdav, "Craig came into my store and said: 'Fox, you've got my dog, and If you sell It you'll get in trouble.' We had a few words and then Ciaig said: 'I'll arrest you for stealing that dog. I'll arrest you for a Joke.' and he did. I was served with a warrant from Al derman I.entes' cnuit, charging me with receiving a stolen dog. I went before Alderman Millar, waived a hearing and entered ball for my ap pearance at court. I'll now proceed to show Craig what a real Joke Is like," and Fox smiled a smile that bodes no good to Craig. Through Attorney C. I,. Unwley Fox yesterday began an action against Craig to collect 51,001) damages for malicious arrest. Fox says he will prosecute the case with the stoniest vigor. Removal.

His Reception Was of the Most Cor dial Nature Tho Audlenco Was Probably the Most Representative Ever Seen at a Place of Amuse ment in This City Judge Arch bald's Clever Introductory Speech, Pine Musical Programme Mr. Riley Entertained at Scranton Club After His Readings. JA.li;S WHITCOAin IIIMIY. A poet paused nt our door hist night, And tarried awhile to tell Of clays and of dreams that had eltpp'd out of sight To return at bis magical spell. Not of the lands over far away sen?, Nor of Kdence. nor stranger kings; Not of the ages of fair chivalry. Hut Just of tho dear common things Dear, because they concorn you and me. Kor the dawn and the dew and the sun and the snow. And death and life and love, that may bold All Joy of llilng, are common, you know. And of these wclc the lilies th.it ho told. And swift as he rpoko u background Hashed out Of river and meadow and wild, Of blossoming trees that ho'd sung about And somewhere beyond it all tinkling out The. laugh of a little child. And soft as wo listened enmo Hooping a throng A world nt the Conjurer's call. They walked straight out of bis story and song And wo knew them one nnd nil. Tho old, old man and the llttlo fair boy, The orphan glil and the group at the farm : They smiled like a gleam tram tluV Heaven of Hod, And we leant to the mystical charm. A poet paused nt our door last night, There were smiles and teats la our ijed As be told of memuiles sllpp'd out of sight To return as a darling surprise. -11. C. 1. Tho largest audience which oxer, in Scranton, greeted a man famed for literal j- attainments, crowded the Ly ceum last evening to hear James Whlt I'cinb lttley. Not n vacant seat remain ed In the pit and balcony. Every box wns occupied and standing room was appreciated. It was not only p grat house, numerically speaklnc, but rep iesented the cream of society and tho culture of the city. It was In many respects an unusual audience, partlcu latly slnco It contained so many elder ly people and also many who are al most never seen at a public piece. The thorough sympathy with tho central llgure was shown from the be ginning In the gentle Indefinable, mur mur of satisfaction heard at fieciuent intervals. The people left with a smile of enjoyment on every countenance nnd nothing but the most favorable com ments concerning the entertainment were heard. Air. Hiley was Introduced by Hon. 1J. W. Archbald, presiding judge of Lackawanna county, nnd his readings were interspetsed by one of the finest musical programmes ever tendered by local talent, and made up by Mrs. Jo seph O'Brien, Allss Katherinc Tlmbcr tmti nnd Air. AVIIIiams, of Wllkes Barp accompanied on the piano by Allss Flotence Hiehmnmi. Altl. RILEY'S TRIBUTK. Air. Riley paid a pleasant tribute to these vocalists last evening when he stated that at no place In his tour had he been favored by such line music. Ho wns partlculatly pleased because ladles appeared on the pro gramnv. It may not be generally known that ho Is himself a musician and does fromo really wonderful work with the guitar. Judge Archbald Introduced the poet In a most graceful fashion, saying in part: "Were I a public speaker tun ning the nightly gauntlet of Introduc tions, I might agree with Mark Twain, who said he would rather Introduce himself as he felt that ho alone could do the subject full Justice. The speak er of the evening with becoming mod esty desires that some one else shall open the door and usher him In. Tho poet of the people, like Burns, Whlr tler nnd Whitman, speaks In his own tongue the ordinary things of life, transforming by his magic touch. Bi owning and Tennyson are read by the few but do not deeply stir the popular heart. Air. Riley Is a poet of tho people, whom the untutored ap preciate, as well as tho cultured, and the little children understand and love him nnd hold his childhood rhymes as rivaling Mother Goose. His great charm consists in the whole-souled cheer that pervades nil his writings, making the world brighter nnd better as appropriately said In his own wotds: "The world is full of roses The roses full of dew The dew Is full of heaven's Mowers That drop for mo and you." his rkpt:rtoirh. The repertoire given last evening by Air. Hiley was delightful beyond de scription. His inimitable manner, half shy, half confiding, wholly natural, was a continual pleasure. That sort of timid appeal as If he were taking his audience Into close, exclusive men tal telatlon with himself Is fascinating In the extreme. Tho pathetic, little cadence In his speech, the soft, coun try twist in his dialect tone, the queer, quaint, llttlo Inflection of childhood In the Juvenile selections, leave tho ef forts of the technical "elocution lady" In the dense shade. There was humor In the plenteous supply, for he gave the philosophical soliloquy of "I's Far mers in the Couutrv as the Seasons Go and Come," "Wounded Soldier," who was funny beyond ordinary hu mor despite his not particularly cheer ful condition. His ttlbute to the Hoosler farm life was earnest nnd con vincing. There was the tender, half pathos of "That Old Sweetheart of Aline" and "The Quarrel" so realisti cally given, then he read "Down at the Capital." which was probably tho clev erest number of tho evening and the beautiful favorlto "Out to Old Aunt Mary.'s" with Its sadly sweet ending. "The School Instructor's Speech" was probably best rendered In the pro gramme und us Interpreted by tho au thor contained valuable suggestions to those In power who turn Idiots loose on Innocent Sunday schools and teachers' Institutes. "LlTTLl? ORPHANT AN NIK." The Impersonations of tho young ster entertaining his sister's "young man" was delicious and contained nu merous sketches, Including the famous lltiale, "Little Otphant Annie." The nttdlencc paid Air. Riley an tin mlstakabla compliment nt tho closo of the i rogratnme, when utterly unllko tho manner of Scranton audiences all tho people sat Btlll for several mo ments as It reluctant to waken ftom the fair enchanted land Into which they had wandered, lured as were tho chil dren Viy the I'lpcr of Hamlin Town. The musical part of the programmes Wan exquisitely given. Mrs. O'Brien never sang better nnd the peculiarly rich timbre of both her voice and Miss Tlmbermnn's seemed to melt Into one exquisite tonal harmony. Air. Wil liams made n most pleasing Impres sion nnd his solo, "Queen of the Earth" wus n great triumph, Mlfs Richmond accompanying with great taste and effect. Ho responded to an encore. Allss Tlmbermnn's contralto solo from "Samson and Delilah," with the re frain by Mr. Williams, was thorough ly enjoyed. James Whitcomb Riley Is perhaps the sunniest writer in America today. He has a gonial, kindly face that makes you think of somebody you hnv known before nnd yet somehow you can never quite remember who, but It Is sure to be somebody you have liked. Ills eyes smile and sparkle through their friend ly glasses and tho blueness seems to tetnln much of the sky-color they caught In boyhood. He writes a cheer ful gospel and leaves out the hard and bitter things of life. Those who are familiar with the pa thetic little touches In many of his poems find It not difficult to bellevo that ho has known any great sorrows, but he has suld "good morning" pleas antly to the world nil these years and It has beamed pleasantly back at him. BEST LOVED MAN IN INDIANA. Hence It is that ho Is the best loved man In Indiana today and bis words ate welcomed friends In almost evcty household of the land. As he speaks ot "That Old Sweetheart of Aline," "The Lost Kiss" and "When Besslo Died," In which the sentiment ring so true and so pathetically sweet It needs a new adjustment of vision for the reader to realize that Air. Riley has never married and that bis marvelous in sight Into the child heart and the child life Is chiefly a vivid memory of his own childhood, u sort of mental re incarnation that preserves In clear tonal effects the exquisite, sensitive sub-consciousness of the inner belt to be studied in these little people. For some time Air. Hiley lived with his sister, Airs. Eltai, but In more re cent years ho hits had a home with friends In Indianapolis, In tho dearly loved "Lockerbie Street," familiar in the poem of that name. He does his best work late at night, and those who know him closest are familiar with the strange, brilliant psychical metamorphosis which he seems to ex perience at those times. Air. Riley's description of the history of his poem "Leonalnle" is funny in the extreme. It will be lemembered that he deliberately "put up a Job" on the editor of an Indiana paper, aver ring that bis poem by that name was one of Edgar A. Poe's, accidentally discovered. The scheme worked be yond his wildest anticipations, and even to this day, although the said poem Is now incorporated in his own works, certain wise critics speak of it as a, true type of the erratic genius of that meteor of literature. Poe. It proved to the editor conclusively that Riley was a. real poet, a fact which he had hitherto doubted. But which the wotld at large has accepted with out reserve. RECEPTION AT SCRANTON CLUB. After the reading nt tho Lyceum Mr. Riley was entertained nt the Scranton club by the members of the "Physi cians' Club." Dr. D. A. Capwell presided at the dinner in the absence of Dr. G. D. Murray, president of the club, who was detained on account of Illness. The guests were: J. Whitcomb Riley, Rev. S. C. Logan. Alayor-elect Alolr, F. f. Barker and Dr. Kennedy.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Lackawanna Aledlcal society, Dr. Walter AI. Reedy read a lengthy paper on tho assigned subject ot the Green Ridge diphtheria epidemic.

The educational work has been one of tho most successful features ot the work of tho Railroad Young Alen's Chrlstlnn association, embracing as It has Instruction In mechanical draught ing, arithmetic, penmanship, grammar nnd other practical studies. Of tho students In the mechanical draughting class three have been promoted to positions of fotomen, while students In other branches have been enabled to better till their positions nnd some have earned lesser promotions. Instruction has been given In air brake practice to engineers and lire men, and the association has endeav ored to meet tho needs of the railroad men In connection with their avoca tion. The latest feature of this branch of the work Is the Twentieth Century club, which dm lug the past season has as a literary society done good work. Interest has been sustained and the sessions of the club have been well attended, tho average for the winter being twenty-three. YOKE FELLOWS' BAND. Tho Yoke Fellows' band was organ ized about two nnd a half years ago. Its work has been conducted on some what the same lines that the old stylo praying bands used to operate Its membership has been made up of tho rank and file of the railroad Bervlce, sturdy, practical, hard-headed nnd level-headed railroad men. Their work has been of two kinds. Personal conversations with their fel low railroad men, for the purpose of leading them Into the Christian life, and public services In churches and missions, whe-io their help has been asked. The band has never sought to gain an entrance Into the churches, but so freely have the pastors wel comed their help that one hundred and twelve such meetings have been held. The remarkable revival that oc curred In Dunmore a little over two years ngo began with a meeting for railroad men held by the Yoke Fel lows' band In the Dunmore Alethodlst Episcopal church. In that und tho succeeding meetings held by the Yoke Fellows more than one hundred and fifty people made a profession of re ligion. ITS GP.KAT GROWTH. The membership of tho association has grown ftom one hundred and eighty-one to three hundred and twen ty during Secretary Pearsall's term ot service, and many strong workers have been developed. The association Is proud of the fact that It has not during the present ad ministration closed a month without having all bills paid and a balance In tho treasury. Smoke Tho Pocono Cigar, 5c.
