A large lorce of men were yesterday

paring for tho exposition, tho work

rain. Mr. Rostock's company comes

It has been exhibiting during the past
week.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
You'll see that you seldom or never
get something for nothing. In the long
run It pays to buy only those things
which have an established reputation
and aie sold at a fair price.
There are occasions, however, when
one Is able to buy a high grade article
at a ridiculously low price, as is being
demonstrated in tho remarkable bar
gains in pianos offered by the Finn
Mublc House. For example, a hand
some Hallet & Davis walnut upright,
best largest and most expensive style
at $250.00, or a Royal upright rosewood
finish, double veneered case, hardwood
back, 7 1-3 octaves, three strrigea
three pedals repeating action, full me
tal plate at $123.00. This stock com
prises twelve different makes; each
and every piano guaranteed by the
makers for Ave or borne for eight years.
The motive Is clear. Having adopted
a llxed policy, and settled upon a rep
resentative lino It became necessary
that this stock should bo closed out
to make room for tho rocular line of
pianos. Affording a glorious opportu
nity to win popularity by offering
pianos at pi Ices utterly Impracticable
If It were Intended to continue the
sale of those Instruments.
Churches, lodges, societies, schools,
etc., will find this a golden opportunity
to make a capital investment in pianos.
It Is necessary to see these Instru
ments to appreciate the disparagement
between price and value.
Payments, or cash. It's no difference
to us. Costs a little more on pay
ments, but you have the use of piano
and money. It's worth more. Examine
and sec for yourself,

SUCCESSFUL START
OF NKWJNDUSTRY
FIRST MEETING OF BOLT AND
NUT COMPANY.
Gratifying Report of Prosidont W.
D. Zehndor-It Was Thought That
Not More Than SOO Hands Would
Bo Employed the First Year tho
Works Were in Operation, but
Even Now Nearly Twice That
Many Aro Engagod -Works to Bo
Enlarged.
It there was ever any question of
the desirability of tho Scrnnton Bolt
and Nut works as nn addition to the
Industries and Investment opportuni
ties of scranton, that doubt was re
moved at tho first nnnual meeting of
the company, held Saturday
1'rostdent W. D. Zchnder'a report
contained a ntatement to tho effect
that during the six months tho works
have been In operation both mill and
factory have been working practically
day and night and nt that there weio
as many orders refused as taken. As
an evidence that this was not nn acci
dental or temporary spurt, according
to tho views of tho management, tho
dlrcctoiato approved unhesitatingly of
President Zehnder's plan of enlarging
the works, by Increasing the size of
the factory, putting in new machines
und hiring more hands.
When tho works started out last No
vember It wns thought that 200 would
be the maximum number of hands em
ployed the first year. At present there
are 323 hands employed and aa the
extension of the works are to be rush
ed through with all possible haste, It
Is expected another half hundred hands
will be added to the already $15,000 a
month pay roll.
OLD DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED.
The meeting was largely attended,
1,250 of the 1,500 shares being repre
sented. Luther Keller presided over
the stockholder" meeting. The board
of directors was re-elected, nnd that
in turn re-elected the old officers. The
ofllceis and directors are: President,
AV. D. Zohnder; vice president, Chas.
II. Welles; secretary and treasurer, L.
M. Horton; general superintendent, E.
M. Zohnder; dlrortots, W D. Zehnder,
J. A. Lansing, ChaiU" 'I. Welhs. John
Jermyn, T. II. Wathln--, O S. Johnson,
L. M. Hoi ton.
The stockholdeis expressed them
selves as highly gratllled with the re
sults of the opening year, and the
piospecta for tho future. Although
the mills nnd factory have boon rush
ed and tho workmen for the most part
new hands, tho volume of woik tuined
out was remarkable, and the product
wns uniformly satisfactory.
The trade extends In all directions,
and oven as far as Cuba and Mexico.
While there Is Just at present a stag
nation In the Iron business, owing to
the disturbance caused by the Ameri
can Wire Nail company's depression of
New York stocks, there Is no question
but that there Is a large volume ot
business In suspense awaiting the res
toratlon of confidence that will surely
and quickly come, according to tho best
authorities. The necessities of the
trade are as large as they were before
the disturbance, nnd when business re
sumes Its normal conditions the re
sumption will be another big and last
ing boom.
President Zehnder camo In for warm
congratulations on the success which
he was enabled to report. Especial
commendation was forthcoming for the
manner In which the constiuctlon ot
the plant was carried out. Ground was
broken Juno 1, 1899. Six months later
the mill was In operation, and a month
after H1I3 tho factory was turning out
tho finished product. All this was ac
complished, too, in the face of a strike
In the building trades and a boom In
the machinery business, which made It
difficult to secure the filling of orders
at boom prices, let alone the low anti
boom prices, at which, through Presi
dent Zehnder's foresight, the Bolt and
Nut works machinery was purchased.
FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE.
A fortunate clicumstance, which
President Zehnder was pleased to re
port, was that while excavating for the
bed of a tram in the rolling mill a sub
terranean stream was uncovered which
furnishes sufficient water for every
purpose except making steam, and there
Is enough for this purpose, too, If they
wanted to take the risk of using It In
the boilers. The chemists to whom It
has been submitted say, while It Is not
free from corrosive elements, It Is not
Impregnated to such a degree as to
make It dangerous.
It Is deemed best, however, to avoid
tho risk of Injuring the boilers, and
the city water In consequence Is usefl.
The saving this stream effects can be
figured when It Is stated that 200,000
gallons of its water is being used dally.

USED PENKNIFE
ON HIS COMPANION
Frank Walter Plunged It Into tho
Breast of Goorgo Hartman Nar
rowly Escaping His Heart.
George Hartman, of SOS Cedar ave
nue, a well known South Scranton
barber, was stabbed yesterday after
noon In tho left breast, about half an
Inch above the heart, by Frank Wal
ter, of 903 Cedar avenue. The action
took place on Elm street, near the
Catholic cemetery, nnd occurred about
5 o'clock. There was no previous quar
rel between tho two, nnd the stabbing
wns the outcome of Walter's being al
most finntlu by drink, and by a blow
received In a previous quairel with
another party.
Dr. Albert Kolb Is In attendance on
Hartman, and says that unless compli
cations set In he will recover from tho
wound, which Is about an Inch wide.
Had it gone tho least fraction of an
Inch deeper, however, it would have
stiuck the apex of tho heart and caus
ed Immediate death. It will necessi
tate Hartman's being confined to the
house for several weeks. No arrests
have been mndc.
Both of the parties aro young men.
Walter, who Is the son of Mr. nnd Mrs.
Jacob Walter, is only 18 years of age.
Hartman Is about 20 years old, and Is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hartman.
His father is one of tho best known
residents of South Scrnnton, nnd is a
member of the Neptune Engine com
pany. Hartman Is Plight In form, and Is so
lame in one foot as to be almost a
cripple. Yesterday afternoon, In com
pany with a crowd of other young
men, he was at "the Meadows," a
stretch of land some distance from
Meadow avenue. Walter was there
also with another party. A general
good time was enjoyed by the mem
bers of both crowds, beer being drunk
and bottles passed around.
The liquor he drank went to Wal
ter's herd, and towards 4 o'clock ho
began to grow ugly. A quarrel sot In
with his comrades and ho wns han
dled pretty roughly, being struck In
tho face, and claiming also that he
was hit In tho back of the head with
a club.
Tho mpmbers of both parties had
now started on their way home, when
Walter, It Is alleged, suddenly dashad
forward and seizing Hartman by the
throat, stabbed him In the left breast,
using his pocket knife, the blade of
which is about three inches long. The
sharp point passed through Hart
man's ve3t and shirt, piercing the
flesh, nnd he fell to the ground. He
was carried Into a house near by,
where the flow of blood was partially
stanched and the wound bandaged.
While the lady of tho house was act
ing the good Samaritan, lter, It is
said, was acting In an almost Insane
manner, and finally spiung at the
woman, clutching her by tho throat.
She boat him off, however, and after
awhile ho came partially to his senses.
John and Goorgo Hahn and Cnarles
Rider, three of the young men pres
ent, led Hartman to his home, whero
Dr. Kolb was called to attend him.
Walter went to his home, and when
he came entirely to himself express?d
the gieatest 1 egret for his net, de
claring that when he did the stabbing
he was unawaio of what he was do
ing, and attributing it to tho drink
which had crazed him.
He and Hartman had always been
the best of friends, theie was no pre
vious quarrel between them, and It Is
not likely that the Hartman family
will have him arrested.
REASONS FOR A NEW TRIAL.
Havo Been Filed at Wilkes-Barro in
Lutz Caso.
In Saturday's Tribune announcement
was made of the fact that the attor
neys for John Lutz, the convicted Lu
zerne county wife murdeier, had ap
plied for a new trial. Yellowing are
the grounds on which a. new trial is
asked:
First In rejecting the testimony at to the
ileclaiatlon ot Mrs. Lutz that her husband was
insane.
Second In admlttlnir the testimony of the
neighbors that John Lutz, in their opinion, was
of sound mind
Third The court did not sufficient instruct the
jury on tho proper consideration to be ghen to
expert testimony.
Fourth In recchlng and recording thcmdlct,
it not lming been the voluntary verdict of all
tno Jurors.
Judge Halsey directed that tho mo
tion be filed and placed on the list for
the next term of argument court,
which will be held during the week be
ginning Monday, May 2S.
AN HONORABLE SHOWMAN.
B. E. Wallace Lives Up to His
Promises.
It is so rare an occurrenso to see a
big show pursue an absolutely honor
able course In advertising, especially
us to Its size, that we heartily com
mend thu manner In which the Great
Wallace Shows' ndvance corps are do
ing In this city, particularly as it ap
plies to the press.
Articles are not falsely written up
and then quoted as coming from le
sponslble journals where the show has
appeared, but the bona fide clippings
taken just as cut from the columns of
the newspapers ahead, and the local
reporters deal with them as they deem
proper. This big show comes to Scran
ton on Friday, May 25.

CRUSADERS RAIDING
GAMBLING HOUSES
A NEW MOVEMENT IN THE
CLEANING UP PROCESS.
Six Men Arrosted and $1,500 Worth
of Gambling Paraphornalia Seized.
Tho Turf on Spruco Street and tho
Rooms nt the Windsor Aro tho
Places Raided Visit Was Also
Mndo to S17 Lackawanna Avonuo,
hut tho Placo Was Found Dosorted.
Mon Entered Bail.
At ttv! Instance ot the Min's union
constables swooped down on two
gambling dens In the central city Sat
urday, arrested six men and seized
about $1,500 worth of gambling para
phernalia. A third plnco was also
visited, but a tip had been received by
the propilelors and when agents of the
crusaders arrived they found the place
datk and deserted and the door locksd.
The rooms on the second floor of
the Windsor, the "Turf" on tho third
floor of tho building at 401 Spruco
street and the "club" on the second
floor of 217 Laikawanna avenue are
the places assailed. The warrants
were sworn out before Alderman Kas
son by Robert Wilson, agent of tho
Men's 'inlon, and placed In the hands
of Special OITlccrs W. S. Bartlctt and
Max Flerstlne.
Taking a large dray wagon with
them the constables started out on
their raid at 5 o'clock. The Windsor
was first visited. C. P. Elliott and
Charlps Davis, the alleged proprietors,
were taken into custody and a lot of
poker, roulette and faro paraphernalia
confiscated. The latter was loaded
Into the druy wagon, while the priso
ners were escorted to the alderman'3
office by Ofilcer Bartlelt.
Next tho raiders proceeded to the
Turf. Samuel Murray, M. B. Blewitt.
J. B. Miller and M. J. Wheelan were
corralled and the load In the dray
wagon was augmented by a roulette
and faro outfit, a racing ticker and
regulation telegraphing key and
sounder.
WAIVED HEARINGS.
Attorneys J. II. Torroy and F. E.
Beers were on hand at the alderman's
ofltce in the interests of tho prosecu
tion, prepared to establish a prlmi
facie caso If any of the prisoners
should demand a hearing. All, how
ever, waived this pilvllege and en
tered ball In the sum of $500 each for
quarter sessions. Mr. Murray vainly
trled to save his colleagues by claim
ing they were simply his employes.
Select Councilman T. C. Melvln, of
the Eighth ward, became bondsman
for Elliott and Davis, while ex-Common
Councilman P. II. Golden, ot tho
Second ward, gave ball for tho other
four.
The Windsor crowd wanted to know
from thi alderman If they couldn't
have their "stuff." The alderman re
ferred them to the attorneys for the
prosecution. Mr. Torrey gave them to
understand that the stuff would never
again f,erve Its wonted purposes. It
will bo taken Into coin t as evidence
and after being officially declared to
be gambling devices will be destroyed.
Mr. Torrey cited the Instance nf six
years ago when a raid was conducted
by Mavor Connell and about $5,000
worth of gambling material confis
cated and then burned In tho vacant
lot back of city hall by Chief of Po
lice Simpson.
PLACE DESERTED.
The capture of a large quantity ot
gambling paraphernalia was counted
upon at 217 Lackawanna avenue, but
someone had hurried there with the
word after the first raid was made
and tho place was Immediately locked
up and deserted. It remained closed
the rest of tho night, as did also near
ly If not all tho more prominent places
throughout the city.
Mr. Torrey stated that it was the
orlglnnl Intention to move against
fourteen places simultaneously, but
tills was abandoned for lack of con
stables who could be relied upon and
the fact that It was not desirable to
call upon the regular police force to
do the work.
JUDGMENTS AND INCIDENTALS
Appropriation Exhausted Yet Ordi
nances Are Being Introduced.
It Is extremely Interesting to note
tho large number of ordinances Intro
duced in select and common council
during the last few weeks, appropriat
ing funds and providing for the taking
of such funds out of the judgments
and Incidentals appropriation. It Is a
well-known fact that this appropria
tion has already been practically ex
hausted, all but a few hundred dollars,
in tho paying of various outstanding
judgments, so just why these ordl-

nances havo been Introduced Is purely
a matter for conjecture.
There wcro two such ordinances In
troduced on Thursday night. One pro
vided for the payment of tho claim ot
Thomas P. Stevens against tho city,
and another provides for the appoint
ment of a permanent man for tho
Franklin Englna company and appro
priating $400 out of this appropriation
for his salary. Other ordinances pend
ing which provldo for tho tnklng of
funds from tho Judgment and Inci
dentals' appropriation aro as follows:
Appropriating $1,200 for two perma
nent men for tho Niagara and Liberty
Hose companies; appropriating $500 for
tho payment of a permnncnt man for
tho Excelsior Hose company; provid
ing for tho maintenance of a telephone
In the Crystnl hose house, and provid
