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.

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

WANTS JUDGES IMPEACHED.
Latest Move on tho Pait of Cornel

Another echo of the cases of Jennings
against the hellish A'nlley P.allroad
company was wafted up from llarrls

presented to tho legislature asking for
the Impeachment of .Midges I?. W.
Archbald, V. W. Ounster and H. M
KU wards
The lmpini'iiment petition was pro
ptiecl by c. Smith, of this city, nnd has
about SOU names attached to It,
CHAIG HAD HIS JOKE.
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.

AUDIENCE OF AN
UNUSUAL KIND
GREETrD POET RILEY AT THE
LYCEUM LAST NIGHT.
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

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.
