llallstead's Last Night.
A gratifying sum was realized from
the charity sale at the home OF Mrs.
William F. Hallstead, on Wyoming
avenue, last night. 1t was most hos
pitable affair and Notwithstanding the,
rain the attendance was large. The
parlor floor Of the spacious residence
was devoted to social and refreshments
purposes, and the sales were made on
the boudoir floor.
The singing Of Miss Florence Boese,
Of New York city, was pleasing reve-
lation. 1t had been announced that
she would sing aud her appearance
was waited with interest: few, how
ever, were prepared for her delightful
effort. She has q full and flexible
voice Of much sympathy and tenderness
and knows how to use it. her execution
being almost perfect. Miss Boese Is
favorite artistic at the New York so
cial functions and has been heard at
many Of the assemblies and similar af-
fairs at Sherry's and other saloons. The
violin solos Of Miss Elizabeth Winton
We're also q cOmmendable part of the
entertainment features.

Of entertainment of this style inaug-
urated by the assOcition. The class OF
music heard last night by an audience
as cultured and nearly as large as that
in attendance at the Remenyi concerts
a few evenings before Is indicative of
success for the future performances.
The opening and concluding numbers
for the string instruments represented
the old and modern schools of music
respectively. The first was eighteenth
century music, a concerto in ID minor,
by Bach, arranged for two violins and
piano; and the latter a string quartette
composition by Cherubini, in d minor
also. written a century later. 1t Is an
elaborate composition in five different
movements, and afforded an excellent
opportunity for the display of the
versatility in execution Of the perform
ers.

POSED AS A CROOK.
Hc Changed His Tune When the Police
Got Hold Of Him.

Got Hold OF hilA.
A Jerseyite, by name, Sam Cavan-
augh, spent Wednesday over on the
West Side, working an old, moss grown
tramp dodge which finally resulted in
his being chased out of the city.
This sleek individual gave out the i'm
preston that he was CROOKED" and
that he had lot of knives and shears,
which ne was willing to sell cheap II he
could find purchasers who would not be
particularly inQuisitive as to where he
got the goods. His game did not work
successfully, for among the very first
men that he struck was one who gave
him over to Patrolman Peters. When
he was brought up in police court yes
terday morning he did not by any
means try to give out the impression
that the goods were stolen, but on the
contrary had a Penn avenue auction
eer at hand to testify that he bought
the goods for good hard cash.
AS in the green goods game, where
the victim is as much of q sinner as the
victimizer. 1t was thought by the police
that no witnesses could be secured
against Cavanaugh, SO he was allowed
to 60 with q warning to be out Of the
city before noon. He took the dis
charge and needed the warning.

ONE OBSTACLE REMOVED.
Traction Company win Deed Over thu
Robinson Street Strip.

Robinson Street Strip.
Horace Z. Hand. attorney for the
Scranton Traction company, waited
upon City Solicitor Torrey yesterday,
and informed him that the company
had decided to make a direct transfer
of the Robinson street strip of land,
on which their tracks now stand in ex-
change for the right of way along the
center of the street.
This very graceful act on the part Of
the company now makes the improve
ment Of Robinson street an almost as
sumed thing. The properties now abut-
ting on the track will, at the transfer Of
the deed, be made to abut on the street
and will be. without question, liable
for the cost Of paving.
The other obstacle. the fancy figures
demanded for the land necessary for
widening the street, will be overcome
by condemnation proceedings, which
will be instituted by, City Solicitor Tor
rey in the course of a few days.

w. j. Halnes, Killed.

Tuesday afternoon word reached
Newport that W. J. Haines, a pros
porous farmer and peach grower in
Perry Valley, had been killed just be-
fore noon. He Was assisting in tear
ing down an old barn, preparatory to
the erection of new one, and had
the frame work all down except one
frame, about the center of the old
structure, which was of heavy timber
While assisting to remove some of
the planking on the floor the frame
suddenly fell, the heavy cross piece
striking Mr.. Baines on the top of the
head and neck, crushing his skull,
and breaking his neck. Death was
instantaneous. The mangled body
fell between the sills to the ground
beneath, q distance of some four or
five feet. The body was taken out
as ssen as possible, but life was ex-
tinct. The deceased was we'll known
in this vicinity from the fact that he
came to town during peach season,
with the most lucious fruit, which he
bad 70 trouble to dispose at remun-
erative figures. He was first class
citizen, respected by all his neigh
bors. For a number Of years he was
engaged in the Creamery business in
Miffiintown, and left that place to en-
gage in farming in Perry Valley.
The deceased was about AZ years of
age, and leaves wife and little son
to mourn his untimely death. Word
was at once sent to his relatives; one
brother of whom resides at Farmer
City, Ills, and they are expected to
arrive to day. Funeral will take place
on FRIDAY, meet at the house at 8
o'clock in the morning where relig-
ious services will be held, after which
the body will be taken to Mifflintown
on Mail train, at noon, from Millers-
town station, for burial Three chill
dren preceded the deceased in death
and are buried at MIfflin.
Joseph Bucher, who was working
at the framing of the new barn, saw
the accident, and had the painful
duty of informing Mrs. Haines of
the death of her husband. Frank
Troup, the hireling, who was assist
ing Mr.. Haines in removing the
planking, made hair breadth escape
from being crushed by tho timber.
