The Xmas Market was sue
cess financially, the gross proceeds
being ninety-odd dollars. Judging
from the merry laugh and chatter
which was kept up till a late hour, 1t
was likewise a social success. The
Opera house was tastefully decOra-
ted for the occasion, in crimson
bunting and lace curtains, relieved
with sprays of holly and wreaths of
ivy. The fancy articles were sold
rapidly and well. The japanese
booth was a pleasing feature of the
attractiveness of the room. One
had only to close his ears and eyes
to the surroundings when near this
bamboo hut and he could almost
imagine himself in the "ChrYsan-
themum Kingdom" so realistic was
it with the colored lamps and gay
flags and fans. From within, deli.

MR.. SANDERS is EXCITED.
His Heated Condition Causes b N to
Soc Things the Wrong WAY.

THE TRIBUNE should not make itself the
mouthpiece of Secretary Diddlebock IN
anything concerning Mr.. Sanders, Of the
Truth. The latter had no grievance par
ticularly against the secretary, and would
never have known there had been any
change made in the drafted constitution
Of the State league had not his attention
been called thereto by Mr.. Hanlon, of
Hazleton, who was also member Of tho
committee, as Mr. Diddlebock did not
think it proper to send copy of the
printed constitution into the hands OF
those who should have first received them.
MIR. Sanders was not finally admitted" to
the meeting, but when the time came for
him to be present he simply walked into
the room and seated himself where he
knew he had proper right TO be.-Truth,
81 have large size crow 10 pick with
Mr.. Diddlebock and l want to have it
out with him right on the floor of that
meeting" If Mr.. Sanders did not use
the above words In the presence of a
grt Up Of reporters standing outside TIE
met ing room in the Wyoming, then
there was u very clever ventrilcquist
at work somewhere near there ABOUT
that time. The Truth shoald not make
itself the mouth piece OF any one to
advise THE TRIBUNE as to w o should
use its columns 10 give expressions on
newsy topics.
AS to the charge that The TRIBUNE
has made itself the mouthpiece OF Sec
rstary Did ilebock it is unnecessary to
make any comment. Mr.. Sanders is
respectfully referred to the files Of THE
TRIBUNE for the last three days.

TWO MEN INJURED.
Well Nigh Fatal Results That Foil ow
an Explosion in MarVine Shaft
Yesterday.

William j. Thomas and Daniel ".
Jones had a narrow escape from death
at the Marvine shaft yesterday,
Thomas was seriously injured about
the head and is in danger OF losing the
use of his one eye at least.
1t appears that yesterday morning
the two men were preparing holes sim
ultapeously for blasting and charged
them with powder After they fired
the fuse they went to a place Of safety,
but only one shot exploded and think
ing that the other one had not caught
fire Thomas went back to investigate
and just as he reached the place the
shot went off and struck him in the
face
He was brought to his home ou
Wayne avenue aud his wounds dressed
BY DR.. Donne Dr. Fisher was alsc
called in as a specialist to examine the
eye.
Daniel Jones escaped unhurt but the
injuries Inflicted on Thomas are very
serious and much time must elapse be-
fore he will show signs of recovery.
His escape from death was marvellous
and it is difficult to explain how his
life was preserved.

John Taylor, Of 1876 Jefferson avenue,
whose recent feat of swimming the

The hest previous time is said to have

IN eastern LEAGUE
Pitcher HOdSua Has BaSn Sold 10 Boston M
tiOHal League Club.
We Play SPRINGFIELD TOMORROW
The Change Was Brought About by
the i'll. Chosen Bluffs of Mike Kelly
and the Attitude of Secretary Did
dlebock-A Number of the Troy
Players Have Been Signed-Local
Team viii Return and Play Provi-
dence Here on Monday.

II can be stated on reliable informa-
tion that the Scranton Base Ball club
will play its last State league game st
Reading today and will play its first
Eastern league game at Springfield to-
morrow, Monday they will return to
this city and meet the Providence club
on the home grounds.
This information was received from
A. l.. Francois by telephone from
New York last evening, along with
the announcement that Hodson had
been sold to Boston.
1t could not be learned at O late
hour last night that the papers per.
tanning to the transfer had been signed
but the fact that Mr.. Francois was at
Springfield yesterday signing the cream
OF the Troy players stamps the trans
fer to the Eastern league as authentic.
WHAT CAUSED THE CHANGE.
Previous to the meeting of the State
league at the Wyoming house in this
city on Tuesday night tho Scranton d.
rectors had intended to remain in The
league for time at least. The meet
ing it will be remem bered, was attend.
ed by number Of Scranton directors
and they,were'so sickened by the dicta-
torial attitude Of Secretary Dddlebock
that arrangements were made to re-
eede from their intention AMI join the
Eastern league.
AT this meeting Mr.. Diddlebock and
Mike Kelly were particular abusive in
their arraignment of Scranton, its rep
resentativo ball team and all that per.
tained to it. The Scranton directors
realized that it was their opponents
last bluff resort. but rather than sub.
nit to further filings of the lash, Mr.
Francois departed to New York and
the east to consumate the transfer and
secure new players.
II was the last straw to break the
back OF the Scranton club as far as its

Believing that business done on n
strictly cash basis would relieve us OF Il
large amount of time and labor, now &C.
essary in keeping our accounts accurately,
and would enable lis to devote more atten.

giving to customers the benefit OF our per-

adopt this system. This is being done in
many of the large cities, and is working
very successfully and satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
On and after Monday, September 3, we
shall require cash payment on the deliv-
cry of all packages. To those who may
find it inconvenient to pay cash each time

conn -.tion with the State league Is
concerned. The league officials reared
huge bluff and Mike Kelly was the
man selected to carry it through, and
make the local club believe it could
not leave the State league.

association last night. so that all fear

A SCHOOL OF POK ER.
Scranton Street italians Indulge in the
National Indoor Game-ln the
Hands of the Law.

Anthony Manygot is one Of the I!al-
ians who are looked upon as sort OF
leader by his countrymen. He came
over early and learned many Yankee
tricks, including money-making, all
of which he is teaching to his more
ignorant countrymsn in his own pecu-
liar way. He teaches money making
by exsmplification., AS consequence
his pupils monthly stipends find their
way into his Golfers, and after several
years of devotion to the task Of learn
Ing the unsophisticated idea how to
shoot. hs finds himself in possession OF
much land and many houses.
But alas "a halt has been called to
his rapacity. He has experienced a
short circuit. He became too greedy
and the result Is that he is in the hands
of the law Among other studies in
the curriculum of Manygot's academy
was that of the national game, poker.
The pupils look to the game with
great avidity and nightly gathered at
the academy to pursue their investiga'
tions. A slit was mado In the table
and its uses explained to the stud
ents. The slit was novelty
and was thoroughly enjoyed for long
time by the entire class. Soon, how
ever, the pupils discovered that be.
tween their losiugs to the professor and
their contributions to Miss Kittie they
were paying very high rate of tuition.
The bead]e Of the class, one Frank
Chiskey, decided that his classmates
should stand the imposition no longer
and concluded to break up the school,
take their books and go home
Alderman Fitzsimmons was told of
the goings on at Manygot's and sent
one of his officers over to bring the
offending professor before the Eighth
ward bar of justice. He was formally
charged by Chiskey with keeping a
gambling house and was held in $500
bail to make sure that he would b. on
hand in the fall to explain the work
ings of his school to the honorable
judges.
