WARM SUNDAY
IN SGRANTQN
Street Cars Wrecked by
Strike Sympathizers.
Many People Hurt Yester
day Afternoon in a Riot
That Blocked the Trolley
Lines of the City.
The strike riots that on Friday last
started in Scranton in connection with
t*he street car striko were continued
yesterday, but in a different part of the
town, the south side witnessing about
all of the excitement. As a result one
man is dying at I)r. Thompson's private
hospital and several people are suffering
from severe hurts.
The lirst trouble of the day broke out
at 2.30 o'clock at the corner of Pittston
avenue and Hemlock street. A crowd
of young men stopped a car by putting
an obstruction upon the track and then
proceeded to riddle every window with
stones. The car crew escaped by
throwing themselves Hat upon the floor.
They were not allowed to proceed and
were finally compelled to return.
The serious riot occurred at 3 o'clock
at the corner of Pittston avonue and
Genet street. A boy threw a stone
through the window of a car and the
conductor and the motorman both made
after him. The crowd then set upon
them and both were beaten severely.
The conductor, S. Moilltt, of Jersey City
Heights, was struck in the back of the
head with a stone and concussion of the
brain followed. At the samo time two
passengers, iMrs Jones and her daughter
Anna, were struck and badly hurt.
The efforts to run cars on this line
wore then abandoned. On the Dunmore
line all the cars that ran to that town
returned with shattered windows. The
Lafayette street line, on which the riot
occurred Saturday, was closed yester
day.
The strikers Issued a letter to the
public last night appealing to their
sympathizers to refrain from all acts of
violence and content themselves with
keeping off the cars.
Test Trade Union Case.
From tho Wilkeaiiarre Record.
A preliminary injunction was granted
by Judge Ferris yesterday restraining
the Building Trades Council from plac
ing a boycott upon tho firm of J. E.
Patterson & Co., or from interfering in
any way with tho business of the firm.
It is alleged that the Building Trades
Council, an organization representing
the various crafts engaged in building,
has been sending out circulars to con
tractors and builders asking them not
to purchase materials from Patterson A
Co., on the ground that the firm did not
employ union men, and warning the
builders that union men would not be
allowed to work on buildings where
non-union material was being used.
The firm of Patterson & Co. alleges
that the firm has been and Is employing
uuion men and had entered into an
agreement with a union in Pittston and
had refused to enter into an agreement
with tho Council.

THEATRICAL
Theosophy is one of thoso peculiar
things that has puzzled the minds of
scores of persons, and even with the
many queries that have been made
within the researches of this most
pecular science, it still remains an undis
covered problem. The ludicrous side of
this fatth is forcibly demonstrated in the
now popular comedy, "A Hindoo Hoo
doo" which George W. Larsen and his
company will present on Tuesday even
ing. The transmigration of souls to
tha planets is a thame which may sound
improbablo to thoso whose knowledge
of theosophy is limited, and while the
fact is known to actually exist, the
humor that is Instilled into the play "A
Hindoo Hoodoo" by the methods of
Rani Chedulka, a Hindoo, who professes
thoosphy, is without a question the
funniest that has ever been presented
in dramatic form.
t t t
Miss Agnes Burroughs, in tho dual
role of Lady Isabel and Madam Vino,
will present her revival of that famous
old success, "East Lynne," at tho Grand
Friday evening. The star is supported
by a first-class company und the several
characters aro all in capable hands.
Miss Burroughs' work in tho part which
has made her prominent in the list of
emotional actresses calls forth the ad
miration of all. The great and whole
some moral lesson taught by the play is
one of the principal reasons for its con
tinued popularity.

Hoyt's "A Day and Night" hold tho
boards at tho opera house last evening
and gave a very excellent performance.
Tho singing was magnificent and
thoroughly appreciated judging from
tho vociferous encores. The play is
like all the good things Hoyt has given
to tho theatrical loving public, and
drives away tho blues and the dull care.
