COMING ATTRACTIONS
IN CITY THEATERS

The comedy, "Charley's Aunt" by
Brandon Thomas. which will have a
representation at the rockingham to-
night, has a wonderful record. and one
probably unequalled by any other play.
1t was first produced In London three
years ago. and has been playing there
since the first night of its performance.
The play Is a farce-cOmedy of the
funniest type, and the fun hinges on the
assumption of womans clothes by a
college undergraduate. There Is no
horse play, but on the contrary the
dialogue Is brilliant and the fun in
cessant, but not exaggerated.
There Is no mistaking the success of
Rice's 1892" which will be seen at
the rockingham Thursday night. A
superb Organization has been gathered
together for the present tour. Richard
Harlow, whose Queen Isabella has been
the town and club talk of New York
for the past three winters, has been
specially engaged for this trip, and
,Bessie Bonehill has been induced for a
fabulous salary to- abandon her pro-
posed starring tour to join this organi-
zation. In addition to these unusual
magnets. the famous Kilanyi living pic

TWO INJUNCTIONS HEARD.
They Occupied the Attention OF the COur,
All OF Yesterday.

In equity court yesterday morning
the injunction case of the borough of
'Dunmore against Vito GirardO was re-
sumed, and evidence on the part of the
defendant heard. He alleges that the
water course he closed up was not a
natural course, and, therefore. that he
was privileged to act as he did. Court
took the papers and reserved its deci-
sion.
The injunction Of the borough of Jer-
myn against Nathaniel Depew was
next taken UP. 1t Is alleged that De-
pew. who owns lot on the main street.
has put his fence out six feet on the
street. 1t is cOntended by the defend
ant that the lot In question Is not In
Jermyn. but in 'Mayfeld borough, and
therefore that the street at the point
of dispute Is not under the control Of
the borough of Jermyn. Evidence was
being adduced to prove that assertion
when court adjourned. Attorney I. II.
Burns appeared for the borough. and
Attorneys william Hand and William
R. Lewis for the defendant.

MINOOKA PARISH DIVIDED.
Rev. James +. Jordan Has Been Assigned
TO the New Charge.


Right Rev. Bishop O'Hara has ap-
pointed Rev. James f. Jordan, of
Wilkes Barre, pastor of the new parish
Of Rendham, that has been erected
from st. Joseph's parish, of Minooka,
of which Rev. John Loughran Is pas
tor. The change was made yesterday.
Father Jordan has for several years
been the assistant priest at ST. Mary's
church, Wilkes-B Barre, and was or
dained five years ago. He will assume
charge of the new parish Immediately.
The parish of st. Joseph with head
quarters at Minooka has been estab-
lished since 1870. The church was
built in 1872. All the Catholics Of Mi
nooka, Taylor, Feltzville and Old
Forge township worshipped there and
the parish embraced all of the terri
tory.
About a dozen years ago Father
LOughran built church at Rendham
for the convenience of the people Of
Old Forge. This was a mission church,
and was called the st. Lawrence mis-
sion of st. JOseph's parish.
The parish over which Father Jordan
will have charge includes Rendham,
Barbertown, Midtown. Connellton and
Austin Heights. but 1t does not take
In Taylor proper nor Feltzville.

They swung the Delegation.
At the Democratic state convention
which nominated lPattison ehe first
time Mr.. Beamish and Judge Smith
succeeded In swinging the Northeast
ern Pennsylvania delegation to Patti
son. and thus brought about his Sc
lection by one-half a vote. Some time
later Mr.. Beamish and Governor Pat
tison had a falling out, but Judge
Smith continued the friendship, which
he at that time won and was after
wards rewarded by the appointment
to the Lackawanna bench to I'LL Judge
Wards uneXpired term.
Twice Mr.. Beamish was a candidate
for state senator. but he suffered de-
feat each time, because of triangular
contests. In 1874. when DR.. G.. B. Sea-
mans, of Avoca, was first elected, Mr..
Beamish lost great many Democratic
votes through the Independent candi-
dacy of James Mahon, and in 1878 DR..
Seamans again defeated him, with
James r. Hickey. the labor candidate,
also in the field.
In 1850. 1882 and 1854 he was the
choice of the Lackawanna portion OF
the Eleventh district for congress. but
never secured a nomination.

appraiser for one term AID in 1883 once

KING DAVID AS A GENERAL.

A French Scientist comments on His
Tactics Against the PhiIistines.
At a late meeting of the Academic
DIES Inscriptions ct Bellies Lettres. NJ.
Dieu1afoy, the well-known explorer in
Persia, read a very interesting account
of his visit to the scene of the decisive
encounter between King David and the
Philistines in the valley of Rephaim.
NJ. Dieulafoy described how, after the
capture of Jerusalem by David and the
esta blishment of the Israelite mon
archy, the Philistines resolved to
crush b nascent kingdom, and how,
after alterations of success and failure,
they occupied the valley of Rephaim,
situated at the foot of the slopes
which led from the west to Jerusalem.
1t was then, according to NJ. Dieulafoy,
that David, constantly attacked by
his enemies, executed one of the
finest military maneuyers recorded
In his history. NJ. Dieulafoy, while
Indicating the various advances made
by military art, andhaving shown
that before the wars of the Modes
no nation had any acquaintance
with the rules of higher tactics
and strategy, dwelt upon the fact hat
David wa the first of the Israelite lead
ers to form drilled and disciplined
troops, and pointed out what good use
the king made of this army in the
valley of Rephaim.
The plan of the battle, very clearly
described in the Bible, which ascribed
the conception of it to Jehovah, COM
prised a flank march, a rapid change Of
front, the rapid accomplishing of the
left wing of the Philistines, and an at
tack from behind on this wing. This
was a complicated and bold turning
movement, very difficult to execute,
and something quite out of the common
for the age in which it was carried out.
NJ. Dfeulafoy, who had discovered the
theater of operations and had made use
Of the general topography of the region
in order to reconstitute the principal
phases of the battle, pointed out that
this movement presented a striking
analogy with those executed by
Frederick II. at the battles of Mollwitz
and Rossbach, and by Napoleon at
Austerlitz. In the conduct of this
operation David gave evidence of the
highest capacities, taking advantage Of
all the inequalities of the ground, form
ing his troops afresh in the wood, and
charging impetuously, and M. Dieulafoy
insisted very strongly upon the SINH
larity of his military genius to that Of
| NapOleOn.

Goldsboro, Aug. II.
Now that Kinston' has a to-
bacco market, Tarboro will soon
open up on a big scale. The en-
terprising, pushing business
men of Goldsboro do not intend
to be left. A warehouse 95 feet
by 200 feet is now being bulls to
handle the large crop which will
be raised in that section this
year. It is estimated that to-
bacco from 1900 to 5000 acres
of land within a radius of ten to
twelve miles around Goldsboro
will be sold this year.
Work is going on as rapidly
as possible to finish the ware
house by the tenth of Septem-
Der, and as we'll as a big break on
that day, a free barbecue dinner
will be given also a big german
that night. Workmen will soon
begin to erect prize houses. A
large number Of buyers will be
on hand, and all who are inter-
ested in the market say they are
determined that the tobacco sold
on the Goldsboro market shall
bring as high a price, according
to the grade, as it would sell for
on any market in the State.

II 1t had happened at home probably
the man wouldn't have minded it SO
much, but it all took place in a street
car, says the Rochester IN. W Herald.
The nan and his wife, so far as could
be gathered from the conversation, had
been downtown together making
some purchases. When it came to
counting up on the car one parcel was
missing. The parcel had been given to
the husband to carry and he couldn't
remember what he had lone with it
except that he had possibly left it
somewhere"
"Well, of all men," she exclaimed,
Strengthening back and taking a full
breath, which threatened to come again
in a manner that he wouldn't fancy.
81 do believe you'd lose your head If
it wasn't fastened on. What did you
do with it-just lay it down somewhere
and then walk away like a big simple
ton?"
He mumbled something about not re-
m~embering.
eff you wouldn't try the patience of
a saint! I'll declare to-anything, if a
sixteen-year-old did a trick like that
he ought to get a sound lickin' for it.
You can just pack back to town to-
morrow and buy some more, that's set
tied"
"There's no need of tellin' half the
town about it, he ventured. The other
passengers were looking at him. Some
appeared sympathetic, others were
amused, and all were interested.
Il should think you would be
ashamed to have people hear it," she

tirely al effort. Observation-Disclosures

thing and then walk right off and leave
1t. If you don't need somebody to take
care of you 1 miss my guess"
He sighed deeply and turned toward
the bach platform, where the conductor
stood grinning at him. Then he arose
and started out of the car.
-"See here, where are you going?' she
demanded.
He neither answered. nor turned
around. Once outside he leaned with
his back against the door,
"What's the matter with your wife?"
asked the conductor.
"Oh, she's hollerin' because 1 lost q

Why not a Southern Man.

Mr.. Bryan, Of Nebraska, in his
paper, the Omaha World Herald,
declares that the time has come
for the selection of a Southern
man for a place on the National
Democratic ticket. We quote:
For thirty years it has been
customary to select the Presi-
Dental candidate from the East
and the candidate for Vice-Pres-
ident from the West, or from
that portion Of the West, lying
East of the Mississippi,
Why should this discrimina-
ton continue? The war is over,
the enmities aroused by civil
strife have disappeared and
those who wore the gray are
working shoulder to shoulder
with those who wore the blue in
the development Of our common
country. In the great struggle
now in progress distinguished
sons of the South are doing
yeoman's service in behalf of the
money Of the Constitution. Why
should they bear the burden OF
the fight and yet be denied the
privilege of receiving honors al
the hands of their countrymen:
Among the older men of the
South Senator Morgan. of Ala
bama, Senator Blackburn, OF
Kentucky, Senator MeLaurin, Of
Mississippi and Senator Daniel,
of Virginia, are especially wor-
thy of consideration. They are
all men of high standing, great
ability and unquestioned devo-
ton to the cause of bi-metallism
Anyone of these would ado
strength to a national ticket. 1
one of the younger generation
is preferred the South can furn.
ish many sons who have grow
up since the war, and yet wht
have earned distinction for them
