THE CAUSE OF DEATH FIXED RELATIVES OF THE DECEASED CLAIMED THE REMAINS LAST NIGHT TO GIVE THEM BURIAL. Five Men Arrested and Held Under Ball for Destroying: the Fence of the Base Ball Grounds Other Local Happcnlng-s. Deputy Coroner Manley and a jury last night held an Inquest on toe body of the Pole who died suddenly at the Farmer's hotel, on North Main street, yesterday morning. It was held at the hotel. Dr. C. Spalding and George F. Leitzel, the proprietor of the hotel, were the principal witnesses. The latter made a statemeut of the case substantially as given In the Herald yesterday. The mau had been complaining of not feeling well for several days. He complained of severe pains in the chest. Dr. Spalding testified that he made an examination of the body and was of the opinion that death was caused by la grippe and influenza. There were no marks of violence upon the body. The jury ren dered a verdict in accordance with the facts as stated by the doctor. There has been some discussion as to the proper name of the deceased. He was known to the authorities as Martin Fatroski. A correction is made by Martin Fadrowski, the East Centre street cigar dealer, who says his Identity has been confounded with that of the deceased on account of the similarity of the names. Mr. Fadrowski says the deceased's proper name was Martin Wlerbicki. A third name was furnished at the inquest, the deceased being designated at Martin Berbiskey. The remains remained at the hotel until last night when they were claimed by a stepbrother of tho deceased and taken to a residence on Line street. Frozenoysters at the Schelfly House.

Each performance of the Gjlalr Patee Company has been far above the nverage, but last night this excellent organization fairly outdone themselves in the very funny comedy of "Our Boys." Every person on the stage was specially suited to the characters assumed, and there was not one who did not make the most of their work. Tho "boys" were well taken by William Nichols and Albert Livings ton, and the "girls" were in the moi than capable hands of Miss Virginia Bray and Miss Eva Taylor, and througli out the play these excellent artists caused merriment and pathos to move the audience to both laughter and tears. The character lines were In the hands of W. J. Clark und Miss Julia Hanchett. Mr. Davenport, as the retired butterman, kept the audience convulsed with his assump tion of aristocratic dignity, and his num erous blunders. As Belinda, Miss Florence Had ley presented an element of comedy which was a surprise to those who had seen her In other and more refined characters. Her song of "Miss Dunn" received repeated encores. Taken as a whole this was certainly one of the best comedies presented in Shenandoah this season and Is a great credit to this com pauy, as In the bunds of less capable aud experienced artistH it would not be as effectual. It was the Intention to present tonight the great drama, "Infatuation," by the author of "Jim, the Penman," but owing to the non-arrival or some neces sary effects this play will not be given until tomorrow (Friday) evening, and as there has been a universal demand for a repetition of "The Arabian Nights," that very funny comedy will be presented. A number of new specialties will be Intro duced, and besides the song of "Mary" and " Jane," Miss Hadley will sing several new ones. No doubt all who saw this play1 before will be present and those who did not should certainly attend as it is one of the best comedies ever presented in this city. Shot the Wrong: Dog. B. J. Yost, the local hunting dog admirer, has met with another misfor tune. When Jeff kept a barber shop he was put. to an expense on an average of once a week In replacing tho large pano of glass In his shop window which one of his dogB destroyed with the frequency stated by jumping through the pane to follow his 'master. Jeff became famous as a very unfortunate dog owner. When he gave up the shop lt was hoped his luck would change, but it didn't. Now ho is losing his doga. Sev eral days ago one of the animals behaved itself in such a manner that the owner decided to have it shot. He left a mes sage at Justice Cardln's oflice instructing a constable to call for the dog and end its existence. Constable Uoland was detailed for the deed. He found two hunt ing dogs at Yost's house. Both animals were profuse- in their Welcome of the officer and he concluded that each deserved shooting, but as the death warrant was losued for only one he proceeded to judge the actions of the animals to decide which was the guilty one. After some reflec- tion he threw a rope over one of the animals' neck and hauled it off to the shooting grounds, wnen Mr. Yost re turned home he found the wrong dog bad been shot. He has since killed the con demned animal. Jeff took the affair good naturedly and laughed with the constable over it today. McElhenny's Popular Cafe.

III Ell j Opening of Spring Brings With Tidings of More Prosper ous Times. THE HAT FACTORIES BUSY. ONE OF THE COMPANIES HAS COM MENCED TO ENLARGE ITS PLANT TO MEET THE DEflANDS. The Outlook for the Balance of the Year is Very Promising: and Ad ditional Operatives are In Demand. The spring indications in the local In dustrial field nre exceedingly favorable that Is, the prospects of the home manu facturlng establishments are bright, much more so then the output at the mines. All but two of the latter places continue working bIx three-quarter days week, but the idleness of two of the principal collieries, Shenandoah City and West Shenandoah, Is a drawback to what would otherwise be a pretty good state of affairs o far as the mining operations are ooncerued. The days when mining operations could be classed as prosperous, so far as they relate to the wage earners, went by several years ago and there Is little hope that they will ever return. Full time at the collieries is a matter of history. The present system of opera tions is such that full time will quite likely remain a matter of history to the miner nnd his laborer. When the market Is not blocked with coal the companies keep the product on their hands for higher prices; when the demand and prices are good some of the collieries are found to be in need of repairs and at no time are all the collieries given the benefit of a simultaneous schedule of full time. If a crowded market, low prices, or repairs, are not in the road, then some place Is declared unprofitable, or worked out. By some hook, or crook, the onera tlons are so regulated that the good old times cannot reach us. But the industrial outlook so far as it applies to the home manufacturing con cerns is quite the reverse. It Is such ob to afford unlimited gratification to those who have been in the ranks of the advo cates of home Industry and those who had the courage to put their beliefs in practice. Take for instance the Schuyl kill Hat & Cop Manufacturing Company. This concern started a few years ago with about half a dozen operatives In very limited quarters on North White 6treet. It Is now located in a large brick building on East Coal btreet and has an immense force of hands employed. The new quarters were first occupied about two months ago and at the time thev were supposed to be large enough for all requirements, but the company now finds Itself again pressed for quarters and yesterday a force of men were put to work to erect a two-story addition, 30x40 feet in size, to the rea'r of the building. The company has sufficient orders in hand to keep its present force of operatives work ing full time until January 1st, 1696. The force will be increased as soon as the new structure is completed. Report of good times also comes from the New York Progress Company, manu facturers of haU and caps on North Bowers street. This company has also met with prosperity and is extending its business rapidly. Its orders are multiply ing dally and there is a demand for opera tives, in another column of this paper" H an advertisement calling for a number of girls, to whom steady work will be given. The Shenandoah Hat & Cap Manufac turing Company is another industry that has realized that great things from little acorns grow. This company has a paper box factory in connection with its plant and the former is kept busy keeping up with the demand for boxes required for the hats and caps the factory turns out. May the evidences ot prosperity increase and may Shenandoah hats and capa spread throughout the country. When you want good roofing, plumb Ing, gas fitting, or general tiusmithlng done call ou E F.
