a large number of members and
guests We're present at last nights

Scranton Bicycle club. Aside from the
usual entertainment features, cards

ment programme.
A three-round sparring bout was given
by Harry Woods, of this city and p. j.

O'Brien. an all-around variety man and
an ex-dancer with Lew Dockstader, did
almost everything in the line of dane
ing, tumbling and mystic tearing of
paper with his fingers into all sorts of
queer designs. ID. w. Scsm, the young
Scrantonian who recently relinquished
the stage for business in this city, gave
several comic recitatlons.

BODY CUT TO PIECES.
Tragic Death of Dennis Morrissey, of
MOosic on ID. Il. II. Tracks.

MODstS, Ou H. IL. lIdShS.
Dennis Morrissey, of Moosic, was
found dead at o'clock yesterday morn
ing on the Delaware and Hudson rail-
road tracks between Minooka juno
ton and the Moosic station. The body
was horribly mutilated and could be
identified only by the clothing.
The crew of the fast south-bound
freight train observed the parts of a
mans body along the tracks and the
conductor stopped the train. The re-
mains We're gathered up and removed to
the water tank at Moosic and word left
that a man had been killed Some of
the residents of Moosic identified the
clothing and word was sent to the de-
ceased mans home, which is but a
short distance below the station.
In the afternoon Coroner Kelley went
down and empaneled jury Every
witness who could give any material
evidence was examined, but nothing
tended to show foul play, and n verdict
of accidental death was rendered by
the jury. The facts appear to show
that Morrissey had become intoxicated
| and wandered up the railroad and was
struck by one of the passing trains. He
| had received his months pay, but only
a few cents were found on his clothing.
Even the coin in his pocket was mutt
lated by the wheels. The condition OF
the scattered remains would indicate
| that long trip of cars had passed over
him.
Morrissey was about So years of age
and leaves n wife and grown up family.
| He was well known, but of late years
had not circulated among his fellow
men He was at one time a prominent
man of the southern part of the county,

THE DERBY WINNER,
1t Has u Very Realistic Race Track

Scene.
1t can be said in favor of 1.-THE Derby
Winner that 1t has one of the best
racing scenes ever put on the stage in
this city. Large audiences saw 1t yes
terday, afternoon and evening, at the
Academy of Music and enjoyed It
hugely
THE Derby Winner" Is not an extra
ordinary comedy-drama, but then no
one cares much about the dialogue in
racing plays. People want to see the
racing and the realistic effects, and
THE Derby Winner" leads them all
In those respects. In the second act is
a view of the stables at the st. Louis
fair grounds in which seven horses
MUNICH hay before the audience. Two
OF these horses are Freeland and La
Cigale, formerly notable race track fay-
OriteS.
The company Is a very good one, Ar
thur Dunn, the dwarfed comedian,
being especially worthy Of mention The
drama will be repeated tonight
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-02-23

Justifies expectations. The perform
ance of the part songs and the excel
lent solo singing of John r. Watkins,
Tom Beynon, p. II. Warren and Will
lam ID. Evans reached a high standard,
in fact, much superior to the metro
politan talent generally heard here.
There is desire among the promoters
OF things musical in Scranton to have
the Cambro-American Concert club
give a series of concerts at the Young
Mems Christian Association hall, and
with such working members as T. J.
watkins and Il. j. Davies it is probable
that the club will, in the near future
delight its friends with its choicest
lyrics.

FOR FIRE ALARM BOXES.
Chief Fcrbcr's Plausible Request for the
Estimates Committee.

Chief Ferber, of the fire department,
has an object in view which will prob
obly receive the favorable support Of
the estimates committee of councils.
Notwithstanding the fact that at
present there are four or five keys for
each alarm box, numerous complaints
are offered because of the difficulty in
locating the keys. Chief Ferber will
ask an extra appropriation of $50 TO
buy twenty iron key boards about Is
inches wide made of iron and with four
white surfaces for painting the ad-
dresses where keys are located. The
boards can be fastened securely to
posts and the portion containing the
locations Of keys can only be removed
with the aid of tools for the purpose.

Edward Atkinson: in The September
Forum, points out some benefits that
have, or will, resul; from the present
hard times. He takes the position that
ga commercial crisis is 8 part Of tie
process of cure Of preceding evil con
ditions." What he says III reference
to the effect of hard times i'll the So;.th
may be OF some interest.
We make few extracts:
''The Southern States, relying upom
their paramount al:nu:age in th2 pro
duction of the useful cotton OF c)m-
merce, have wholly ignored the most
important element Of improvement il
the production, under the mistaken
notion that their customers paid for
their abuses and their negecs Of the
staple. The saw.gin by which the
cotton is separated from the seed
ought to be and soon will be invented
out of existence. It's only merit is the
quantity which can be run through
each machine; and The greater the
quantity and the higher the speed, the
greater the damage.
It renders it usel IS for
planters to lengthen Or improve ihe;r
staple, because with that Improvement
comes the greater injury when The
longer cotton is ginned upon the saw
gin. After it has been badly einned,
our cotton has been as badly baled, as
badly covered, and as badly treated as
tits possibleto to conceive. The
writer undertook to deal with this
subject many years a2o, but iong
Since came to The conclusion that
nothing but the lesson of hard tines
and excessively low prices would
bring about any change for the oIt'cr
~ The benefits are ia SIGHT. The
whole South is aroused. New methods
Of baling, new methods Of handling.
aud improved methods of ginning ere
already invented and firmly cs ab-
lishcd."
THE merit of Egyptian c)ttou for
American use, whereby great many
factories have been established in this
country in the finer numbers for which
American cotton as now grown and
handled is utterly unfit, has called III,
attention, especially of the people Of
Texas, to the reason why Egyptian
cotton is better. Within The
year several different types ot tn:
rcl:cr gin on which EgyDtion cott,m
Is now prepared have been 5rough: to
The attention of the cotton growers" ;"
lie, therefore, argues that the rcrt
low price Of the American cotton a;;l
the high price of the Egyp;ion co"oa,
about twice as mach as the Am rican
is teaching tie American cotton
grower 4 valuable lesson. and he j.
making an effort t, in. rove his
m";hads.
