This afternoon will be your last chance to hear them JONAS SOUTHSCRANTON CLEVER ATHLETIC EXHIBITION GIVEN LAST NGHT. members of Scranton Athletic Club Appeared in Athletic Hall South Kill Reoponed Swiss Celebration to Be Given Tonight in Music Hall. Pleasant Surprise Party Tendered Miss Grace Connor Peter Ooyno Painfully Injured Other News and Personal Mention. One of the cleverest exhibitions of athletic exercise ever seen In the city was given last night In Athletic hall, by the Scranton Athletic club before a large and enthuslustlc audience. The club, which is composed of stalwart young men, have underwent a severe and thorough course of training under the direction of three young, though highly efllclont trainers, Victor Noth, who has lately completed a gymnasium course In Philadelphia. Difficult horizontal bar feats were cleverly executed by Victor Noth. John Roth, Chris Rose, and the old war horse, ex-Captain Philip Wirth, who has lost none of his old-time cleverness. Berg and Keeser demon strated fully their ability to do tumbl ing and all sorts of fancy twisting nnd bending, tying themselves in knots and then untying themselves. They were frequently applauded. Double bar work by Albert Henno, Philip Wirth, Chris Rose, John Itosh and Victor Noth brought forth some exceedingly hard feats. Some very fine work was done by Victor Noth on the parallel bars, and It was done with astonishing grace and ease. John Johns also did some clever tumbling. What proved of tho greatest interest In the programme was a four round sparring exhibition between Chris Rose, the club's stalwart captain, and their trainer, Victor Noth. It was a very spirited set-to and the boxers exhibited skill in dodge and parry work. After the exhibition the hall was cleared and dancing was. indulged in until a late hour, music being fur nished by Prof. Johnson. South Mills Again Open. Tho South mills of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company, which have been idle for over ten months, re sumed work yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, on two shifts, and last night the heavens were illuminated by that cheerful glow which has not oeen seen for a good while, and the deep, dull roar of the blowers nnd the sparks of tho converton told the tale of rush orders. It Is expected that enough work has been secured to keep the South mill going nil winter, and that being the case, the Christmas will be one of joy and happiness. A Romantic Wedding. Mrs. Joseph Hnmm, of Plttston ave nue, received a postal card yesterday morning, bearing the following brief, but Interesting, announcement: "Dear Mother: I'm married and In Philadelphia, Don't worry nbout our welfare, Frances." It will be noticed that Frances spoke about being married and about "our welfare," but failed to mention who the happy man was. This wasn't necessary. Her parents know very well who the groom Is. He Is James McOulnness, son of Mai'l Carrier McOulnness. and ho fell In lovo with Miss Frances about six months ago. He Is 20 yeors old and she Is n Jltttle younger. Ho disap peared from homo last week and sho disappeared on Mondny. Her parents did not worry much, however. They suspected that she was gone to bo 'married and they ac cepted the Inovltnblo philosophically. Swiss Celebration.
