Assault May End In Murder.
Tuesday morning at "5 o'ocioek An
thony R. Spudis, a prominent Lithuanian
of Pittston and a well known clothing
merchant, was found on the foot path of
the river bridge at that place, having
been held up and brutally assaulted a
fow hours previous. It was a bold deed
and may result in the second murder for
the upper end of the county within a
few days. The crime was committed by
three men, who, after shooting the mer
chant, robbed him of his gold watch and
all the money In his pockets.
Mr. Spudis was at the county seat on
Friday night to attend to some legal
business, which he did not finish in
time to catch the last car. He took the
midnight car on the West Pittston line, I
riding as far as Dorranceton, from
where he walked, the car not proceed
ing any further in his direction.
It was about 2 o'clock a. m. when he
reached the Ferry bride and had gone
only a short distance on his way across
when lie was held up by three men.
They asked for a cigar, but Hpudls re
plied that he had none. A few more
words passed between them, when a
third man, who had crossed from the
other side, drew a revolver and fired
directly at Spudis. He fell, and one of
the men sat on his head and shoulders
while the other two searched his cloth
ing. A gold watch wa taken, half of i
the chain being left behind. His pocket-1
hook was also relieved of its contents,
which, it is said, amounted to only 31.30.
His assailants departed, leaving him
along the sidewalk. Here he remained
until 5 o'clock in the morning, although
a number of people had passed during |
the several hours intervening. They
evidently thought him drunk and paid
no attention to him
The injured man was removed to his
hoarding house and from there to the
Pittston hospital. The wound in the
abdomon is a dangerous one and the
physicians at the hospital have liltlo
hope for his recovery.
Lightning Hit the Brewery.
As If In answer to the prayer of Itcv.
E. E. Dixon, pastor of tlio Methodist
church of East iStroudsburg, lightning
Monday ovening hit the big brewery in
, course of erection there. The bolt tore
things up in lively fashion, cutting out
bricks along the olevator shaft.
Hewitt Marlon and a man named Sta
ples, In the building, wore partly
stunned, and two little sons of Rev. Mr.
Custor worn knocked from a ladder, but
thoy weru not Injured.
When Pastor Dixon several months
ago delivered his prayer that (lod; would
strike the brewery with lightning it cre
ated a sensation. His appeal was at
once recalled when the brewery was
smitten by the shaft from the sky.
Many people believe it a direct response
to his prayer.
Mr. Dixon, when he hoard of It, said:
"Now, Lord, if it be Thy will, let the
rest go."
The fight by the church and temper
ance people against the browery has
been a bitter one. Rev. R. 11. Craw
ford has figured prominently In the op
position with Mr. Dixon. The latter
delivered bis remarkable prayer at a
meeting of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union.

and success In "The Queen of China

ing scenic pictures. The action takes
place in tho Chinese section of New

tention of the audience throughout the
entire four acts, while a constant flow
of comedy serves to relieve tho tension
to which the spectators aro wrought up.
Joseph Jarrow, the author, has drawn
his ideas for the plot from a study of
Mongolian life in New York city and It
deals with the abduction of a pretty
mission teacher by Celestial high-binders
and the efforts of her lover, friends and
relatives to find Iter. Tho sensations
include a raid on an opium joint, a light
with liorco and hungry rats, an explo
sion and fire and thrilling climaxes.
Consplcious in the strong cast by which
the strange and unfamiliar characters In
"The Queen of Chinatown" are Imper
sonated. is Miss Elma Gillette, to whom
tho titular and leading role lias been
assigned. The part is ono requiring
both beauty and talent, both of which
Miss Gillette possesses in a marked de
gree, as her many successes amply prove.
