There was a scene on the stage of Fer
guson's theatre last night that was not
introduced in the play and was not wit
nessed by the audience. It was a scene
in which "Topsy," a genuine detective, a
real constable and a full-fledged lawyer
took pnrt.and on account of its enactment
the audience in front of the stage narrowly
escaped missing the last acts of "Uncle
Tom's Cabin."
resterday a man named Crogan, of
Wllkes-Barre, accompanied by Detective
Gallagher, of the same place, arrived in
town with a warrant sworn out before a
Wilkes Barre Alderman charging Miss
Dalsie Markoe (tho "Topsy") with the
arceny of some trunks. It was alleged
that the trunks had been attached
by Crogan for wages earned
while the company performed at
Wilkes-Barre and that after the
trunks had been attached and were in
custody of an officer Miss Markoe took
them away. Shortly after nine o'clock
last evening Constable Giblln and De
tective Gallagher walked down tho centre
aisle of the theatre and disappeared un
der the stage. They made their way
to the rear of the scenes and
found Miss Markoe. The detective
threatened Immediate arrest, which
meant a discontinuance of the perform
ance. M. M. Burke, hsq., wassummoned
as counsel or the company and after a
brief consultation succeeded in getting
the officers to consent to let Miss Markoe
continue her play, which was done with
out any more interruption and without
the audience becoming aware of what
hid transpired. Miss Markoe was very
much agitated over the occurrence, but
did not betray herself during the play
After the performance all the parties got
together and compromised the matter.
Miss Markoo denied that nhe huu made
any contract with Crogan and her man
ager did likewise. Crogan, on tho other
hand, asserted that he had a contract
with Miss Markoe. The claim was for
$47, hut was settled for considerably less.

A BAD PAIR.
Two Hardened Young Polish Fellows Who
Deserve Punishment.
Yesterday afternoon a farmer named
Samuel Wetzel, while walking along West
Coal street, suddenly cried out "Stop
thief I" and gave chase to two
rapidly disappearing young men.
Peter Lutwin.one of them, wus run don u.
He proved to be one of the two worthies
who were arrested on the 20th inst. for
robbing Main street clothing and boot
nnd shoe dealer and who escaped from
the lockup by tearing up the plauking of
their cell, crawling into an open cell ond
thence through a window from tho
corridor of the lockup.
The secon 1 fugitive managed to get
away, but was followed to Win. Penn,
where he lives. There he made such
light that it was necessary to knock him
down with a club to get him Into custody.
He proved to be Joe Picknlosky, alias
"Smithy," Lutwin's boon companion
The pair had stolen a pair of gloves from
the farmer who had given the alarm,
While they were in Justice Williams'
office the Justice observed that Lutwin
was wearing a pair of extra large gloves.
Samael Block was sent for and he identi
fied the gloves. Lutwin then admitted
that he and "Smithy" stole them from
Block's store on New Year's Eve.
Lutwin aud Pickalosky were committed
for trial ou the four charges of larceny
aud one ot jttll breaking resting against
them.

New Year's Day, the closing day of tho
Christmas holiday season, was almost
generally observed here yesterday. But
few puces of business other than the
hotels, fuloous and restaurants were open.
The number of sleighs flitting to and fro
on the si re is during the day and evening
showed that the demand upou the livery
men was brisk. Tho sleighing was de
lightful and all tho young men who could
scrape together a couple of dollars and a
young lady as a companion were out in
force. The Grant aud Lithuanian bands
spont most ot the day giving serenades
and several drum corps followed the ex
ample.
To-day the opening of the New Yenr
and cessation of festivities tvas heralded
by the re-openlng ot all places ot busi
ness nnd the appearance of truck sleighs
In place of the pleasure vehicles. The
tolling ot the school bells also gave notice
that the timefor business had arrived aud
the children wended their way to the
various school buildings in large num
bers, evidently refreshed by their holiday
vacation.
In many quarters is heard a recital of
what new efforts will be made in this and
tint business for 1805, but, unfortunately,
nothing of promise is heard from tho coal
circles. All the collieries of the P. & R.
C. & I. Company resumed operations this
morning and will work io-morrow, but
to morrow night will again shut down
for the balance of the week.
The Lehigh Valley collieries also
resumed operations to-day,' after being
idle about ten days. No announcement
is made as to whut their working time
will be this week.

friends in the Mt. Carmel and Shamokiti

tue collieries tuere tunc were sunt down
indefinitely just before Christmas started
up again to-day.
Among the discussions overheard con
cerning mining operations an 4 other
business relative to the interests of this
community was one to the effect that a
number of alterations in the working
staff of the Lehigh "Valley Coal and Navl
gation Company will probably be made
this month. FreJ. Kerbey, who was re
cently chief of the oompauy'seugiueerlng
corps, will retain his promotion to the
superlntendency in the Hazleton division
and will shortly move his family to
Hazleton. John A. Grant has been filling
Mr. Zerbey's late position, but it has not
been deckled. that he will retain it. There
is talk of the company dividing its
euglneerlng corps into divisions, to be
known as the Lehigh and Mahanoy. In
such an event, it is said, Mr. Grant, may
be assigned to take charge of the Lehigh
division.
It is also reported that there may be re
newed activity In connection with the
