The boxing carnival on Wednesday ovening attracted a number of people to town, and those who take an interest in the sport were amply repaid with the clean exhibition of scientific sparring which was given by the artists engaged. The audience was somewhat smaller than expected, less than 300 people being present. Wilty Dougherty, of town, was master of ceremonies, and Patrick Burke, of Wilkesbarre, acted as referee of the contests. The first bout of six rounds was com menced at 9.20 o'clock between Jack ltodgers and Jack Ashton, both of Phila delphia. The "go" was exciting, Ash ton forcing the fighting after the first round.

In the first round honors wero even. In the second Dono hue twice floored his opponent, who took the limit each time.

The amended report of the auditors was prosonted and accnpted.

There wero rumors that, the girl would be missing when tho time came to repeat her testimony against her father, and acting upon these reports County Detective Jones and the local oflicers instituted a search and found her in the Zadra residence, next to her home. Albert Bonoma furnished bail for her. Played His First Game. Bernard McFadden, Freelaud's rep resentative in tho National base ball league, played his first gatuo on Wed nesday. He is a member of the Cincin nati team and pitched against Chicago club during tho latter part of the game. Owing to the fact that tho work of the two pitchers is bulked in the 9coro, a correct account of his throwing can not be given.

Tho meeting will be held at Haxloton. On Sunday afternoon a general meet ing of tho union employes of Markle &, Co. will be held at the Grand opera bouse. THEATRICAL. Next Wednesday evening Freeland people will be given their first oppor tunity to see Mildred Holland. Her ability as an emotional actress is un questioned, She received her dramatic education at the Chicago conservatory. Her first professional engagement was with Hanlon's "Suporba," after which she played Diane in "Paul Kativar," following that engagement by an ap pearance in melodrama, at the conclu sion of which she became a member of Augustin Daly's Stock Company, play ing opposite parts to Ada Ilehan. Then came her great success in "Two Little Vagrants," bringing her fame and for tune. Now she is an emotional star of the first class appearing as Aria in "The Power Behind the Throne,'' In which play Miss Holland has made the greatest success of her career. Some idea of her success may be gained from the reception which has been accorded the production wherever it has been presented since the tour began several months ago. Practically without exception, the managers of the theatres where the drama has been presented have Insisted upon return engagements, and in every case where the demand has boen granted Miss Holland and her excellent company have been almost overwhelmed with the warmth of their greeting. t t t Stetson's "Undo Tom's Cabin" Com pany will play at the Grand opera house on Tuesday evening, when the patrons of that house will see this time honored play in all its superior attractiveness. "Uncle Tom," the hero of this purpose ful story, is portrayed by Fred Bennett, Stetson's original "Uncle Tom," prob ably the best known impersonator of this celebrated character in the world. There will bo two Topsies and two Marks in the great double cast. The work of competent players is further enhanced by beautiful stage settings and new electrical devices. New and novel specialties are introduced by the Creole Ladies Quartette, champion buck and wing dancers, otc. The parade will bo worth going to see. X X X Freeland is again about to break a theatrical record—for the second time this season. When "Way Down East" appeared here, this town had the dis tinction of being the first place with less than 10,000 population in which that great drama was ever produced. In "The Power Behind the Throne" Freeland is the only town of less than 10,000 population which has or will see Mildred Holland this season, and it is also the only town in which the play has ever been shown where $1.50 seats have not been sold. Notwithstanding the fact that it costs $450 to have the season's hit come to Freeland, the local management feel that their efforts in be half of local theatre-goers will bo fully j appreciated and repaid with only a slight increase over regular prices of admission. Factions Come Together. The two Democratic factions in Lu zerne county have come together and buried the hatchet. Representatives of the factions, C. Prank Rohan, for John T. Lctiahan, and John Mcfiahren, for John Garman, met 011 Wednesday, and after a brief talk agreed upon J. Ridgway Wright as chairman of the Democratic county committee. This onds the trouble and clears the way for a campaigo of harmony, in which accord and aggressiveness will be the watchwords and factors in the ap proaching campaign. The announcement means the imme diate organization of the Luzerne Dem ocracy under a leader of ability, and whose personality will bring the voters together in an enthusiastic support of the men who shall be nominated by the Democrats for county offices this year. To Test a Mine Law. Martine Solesky and Walter Szyman sky were committed to jail yesterday from Mt. Carmel for manslaughter. Relatives of the late Rudolph Rumfolski aro the prosecutors.
