ADAMS AGAIN
IN CUSTODY
L
CAPTURED BY PARK POLICE
MAN CALLAHAN.
The Jail Breakor Was Dodging
About Among the Trees When the
Policeman Discovered Him It Is
Probable That Last Night Was the
First Time He Was Out of Doors
Since His Escape Sheriff Schadt
Took Him Back to the County Jail.
Archie Adams? who on Sunday night
cscujiod from the county Jail by sawing
two bars and removing them from a
window In the store loom, was captured
In Nay Aug purk last night, about 11
o'clock, by Tark Policeman William
Callahan.
The latter was making his rounds
and had reached a point near the bear
tlen when ho observed a man dodging
about ninonc the trees. Ho had been
AUCHII3 ADAMS.
advised by tho sheriff that Adams
might he prowling nbout there, and
took the dodger Into custody after
some difficulty.
SHAVED OFF MOUSTACHE.
Adams was taken to the park office,
where it -was seen that In general he
answered the description of the fugi
tive, with the exception of the mous
tache, and Adams' upper lip showed
that It had recently been robbed of
such an appendage. After being ques
tioned ho admitted that ho was Adams
and Sheriff Schadt was sent for.
It did not take the latter long to get
to Nay Aug park, and a few minutes
later Adams was. again behind the
bars in the county jail, where he will
get no further privileges. When his
term expires he will have an addition
al term to serve for jail ''breaking.
It Is tho belief of the sheriff that
last night was the first time Adams
has ventured out since his escape. He
was probably provided with a hiding
place by Myrtle Hill and Nellie Wil
liams, the two women taken Into cus
tody Monday for assisting him to es
cape. adams! record.
The accompanying picture of Adams
was taken at police headquarters when
he was arrested In April last for the
theft of Dr. Gibbons clothing, for
which ho was sentenced to nine months'
Imprisonment. He -was also arrested
on Nov. 2S, 1B00, on the charge of lar
ceny, and prior to coming to Scran
ton was Implicated in the shooting of a,
pollceman at'Binghamton, N. Y.

wounding, prcfered by Rose Gummond
with whom ho has lived for several
years. In default of ball, he was com
mitted to the county jail.
Tho shooting occurred Monday night
at tho "Red Barn" on North Main ave
nue. Prye fired Uvo shots, one of which
took effect in tho woman's ankle. Tho
bullet was yesterday removed by Dr,
J. B. Corser, and tho woman Is now

DYNAMITE WAS USED.
Attempt Made to Destroy the House
of John Wachs, Pittston Eight
Persons in the Building.
An attempt was made early yester
day morning to lake the lives of mem
bers of the family of John Wachs, on
Center street. Pittston, bv dynamiting
the family home. Wachs and two of
his sons have continued at their work
about tho collieries and are classified
under the heading of "scabs." That
no lives were blotted out is no fault of
the fiends, who would have taken the
lives of five Innocent persons to reach
tho three, they considered guilty of the
charge of "scabbing."
The occupants of the Wachs home In
clude Mr. and Mrs. Wachs, their five
children and their son-in-law, William
Boos. About 2.30 yesterday morning
they were startled by a terrific report
that fairly shook the home, throwing
some of the members of the family out
of bed to the floor. The report was
accompanied by tho breaking of glass
and tho cracking of wood.
The explosive, which Is thought to
have been dynamite, was placed close
to the front door of the house near the
door knob, and had shattered the door,
also blowing a, large hole In the parti
tion wall. Many of the windows of the
building were shattered and dishes
were knocked from their places on the
shelves, while tho plastering on the
walls was cracked. A bullet was
found Imbedded In the floor.
The charge must have been a strong
one, judging from the amount of dam
age and the report which followed its
explosion. The members of the fam
ily have not the least Idea as to who
the guilty parties are.
THE NEW DIXIE THEATER.
It Will Open Its Doors to Public
Next Monday.
The new theater on Adams avenue,
which has just been completed and
which will be devoted entirely to first
class vaudeville, will open next Monday
night. Refined vaudeville seems to
have captured the fancy of tho public
and kept It longer than any other kind
of entertainment, and no wonder, for It
has taken the finest artists from opera
and drama and now claims them for
Us own. We have, instead or one" star
surrounded by his company in a some
what monotonous performance, several
stars who present (In from ten to
twenty minutes each) the best scenes
of their several successes.
One Is sure of finding something that
wll prove intensely entertaining in a
vaudeville performance. There is so
much variety and each act presented
is and must be artistic or it is im
mediately rejected by the manager of
the theater. The more pleasing the act
Is to the uudlence, the moie money the
artist commands, so tho Incentive to ex
cellence Is always there.
People like refined, funny perform
ancs much better than course ones and
if a performance Is entertaining It
pleases much more If It Is clean and
wholesome and that is what the first-
class vaudeville houses have taught
tte public and Is also the reason high
class vaudeville has coino to stay.
If you have never seen such a per
formance you have missed a great
deal, but It can easily be remedied
now as Dixie's theater will be a house
presenting only refined vaudeville acts.
Among those, most noted for their
wonderfully artistic work, engaged to
appear during the season are: Patrice
& company, Slsson & Wallace, Mr, and
Mrs. William Robyno, Miss Llzzlo
Evans & company, Eugene O'Rourko
& company, Catheilne Osternlnd, Loch
hart and his celebrated elephants, Miss
Bertie Fowler, merry monologue maid,
Elizabeth Murray, Ross & Fenton,
Madame Herman, and a list of hun-.
dreds of other equally meritorious,

STORM WAS SEVERE.
Rain and Hail Pell in Great Quanti
tiesSewers Blocked and Great
Damage to Property.
For almost an hour yesterday after
noon Scranton experienced one of the
most severe rain storms that has ever
swept over the city. The rain fell In
sweeping, heavy sheets for fifty min
utes, and was accompanied by light
ning, thunder and hail.
The official figures of Observer Clarke
of the weather bureau, showed that
fifty-three one hundredths of an Inch
of water had fallen, the rain beginning
nt 2.4G o'clock and continuing until 3.35
o'clock. Sewers wero blocked in sev
eral portions of tho city, being utterly
unable to drain the water which flowed
along the streets in small streams. A
number of windows were broken by the
hall, and a few houses were struck by
lightning.
Among these was the homo of An
drew Coyne, on North Bromley avenue,
West Park. A bolt struck and de
stroyed a portion of the wooden rail
ing extending along tho roof of his
residence, but did no other damage.
Linden street was the most affected
by the storm of any of the central city
streets. At tho corner of Linden and
Washington, tho sewer was for awhile
completely blocked, and as a result a
pool of water formed, which gave the
street tho appearance of being a small
lake. Any one desiring to cross had
to go to Adams avenue, to find a
fordable spot. A similar condition ex
isted on Linden street, near the Ca
thedral. ESCAPE OF BIDDLE
BROTHERS.

An even dozen of the leaders In Tho
Tribune's Educational Contest scored
points yesterday, some of them adding
very abundantly to their scores. They
were as follows:
Hugh Johnston, Forest City, 3; Wil
liam T. S. Rodriguez, Scranton, 1;
Herbert ( Thompson, Carbondale, 4;
Hendrlclc Adams, Chinchilla, 12; Miss
Mary Yeager, Green Ridge, 6; Fred K.

Coleman, Scranton, 3; A. J. Keller
man, Scranton, 27; Charles W. Dor
sey, Scranton, 6; Harry Madden,
Scranton, 13; Maxwell Shepherd, Car
bondale, i, and L. E. Stanton, Scran
ton, 1.
A. J. Kollerman advanced beyond
tho GOO mark and leads Charles Burns,
his nearest rival, US points this morn
ing. About a month ago this situa
tion was reversed, Burns leading Kol
lerman on July 1 by 13G points. This
shows what strenuous work tho Scran
ton young man has been doing dur
ing the past six weeks.
Hendrlclc Adams did what was
hinted could bo done in yesterday's
Tribune, and by bringing In 12 points
later Jn the day, jumped from seven
teenth to thirteenth place. Harry
,Madden, whom Adams passed Mon
day, promptly went to work and near
ly recovered the lost ground, being
but one point behind Mr. Adams and
tied with Frank McCreary for four
teenth place.
Bliss Edna Coleman and Hugh John
ston, who were tied yesterday morning
for twenty-fifth place, each scored
three points and are still tied for the
same position, although both passed
Harry Danvers, who did not score.
Tho reason for this can be found in
the fact that Miss Mary Yeager ad
vanced five places by bringing In six
points. Louis McCusker and Eddie
Morris each dropped back one position.
In the contest for the three August
prizes, Hcndrlck Adams went from
ninth to sixth place, Miss Jane Ma
thewson dropped fiom eighth to ninth,
and L. K. Stanton from sixth to
eighth. Tho other leaders are un
changed. I LEADERS FOR AUGUST.

BARRING BILL AGAIN.
City Controller Costello Has Not Yet
Given Claim His Approval.
Reason Ho Gives.
A large batch of bills which the au
diting committee of councils recently
sent down to City -Controller Costello,
.were yesterday approved by him and
filed with tho city clerk. The bill of
the Barring detective agency was not
among them.
Controller Costello claims that while
an appropriation of $2,000 was last yearj
made for the payment of bills of just
such a nature, still the fund cannot bo
drawn upon to pay tho Barring bill,
ns It was contracted last year, at least
before April 7, 1002.
This is tho bill which was first' held
up by the auditing committee, until
an Investigation was made of it. At
their meeting a week ago, the bill again
came up for action, and was approved.
It Is likely that City Solicitor Watson
will bo asked for an" opinion upon tho
claim.
