SALVATION ARMY.
It Looks as If There May be No Split
In It's Ranks.

In Its Ranks.
At Salvation Army Corps No. last
night Captain N. j. Lewis read the fol-
lowing telegram from New York:
"Officer in Charge of Salvation Army,
S21 J street, Sacramento: Bromwell
Booth, Chief of Staff of the Interna-
tional Headquarters, wires the Ameri-
can staff that he deplores with us our
Commanders resignation dated Janu-
ary 31st. He has done his utmost by
cables, letters and three mediators to
delay action till the Generals return.
1.-The General relies upon your love
and fidelity, and expects answering
devotion to the flag and cause.
COLONEL EADIE,
"Chief Secretary"
The Captain expressed as his opinion
that there would be no serious split on
account of Ballington Booths resigna-
ton, for the simple reason that the Com
mander would not consent to such a
thing, realizing as he does that the
army's success and power in the past
has been its oneness the world over
The very fact of the wonderful success
and growth of the organization in this
country, he said, especially at the time
and since the visit of General Booth
proves this to be true.

John Philip Sousa, the March King"
to be here next week, was twenty-five
years ago brought into orchestral prom
inence by Milton Mobiles, now playing
at the Opera-house in this city. 1t was
in the far down South, we believe.
Mobiles was playing one of his sensation
al dramas, and he had for leader of his
orchestra a very young man whose
genius he recognized. That was Sousa.
The play was 'Bohemians and De-
tectives," which introduced to fame
that thrilling line, 1.-THE villain still pur-
sued her." 1t had another thrilling line,
which was tragically declaimed by the
hero:
Carroll Graves is dead, but out of
his ashes has sprung Jim Bledsoe."
"Nobles," said Sousa one day, that's
a great line, and it carries a great idea.
Why don't you call the play the 'Phoe-
nix ?"
Mobiles adopted the new name, and so
it came to pass that the first important
dramatic suggestion of the March
King became a fact Sousa led the
orchestra for Mobiles a full season and
the two became great friends, but 1t has
been many years since they have been
able to meet Next week, strange coin
cidence, they will clasp hands after the
long separation and Mobiles will be play
ing the identical piece that Sousa named
''The Phoenix Sousa was then but a
boy of about Is or 20 He was only "a
when he became leader of the Marine
Band. Mobiles always declared that
John would become a famous leader.
and so he has, and rich man too by
reason of his genius. Would it not be a
fitting thing for Sousa when he closes
his concert at 10 o'clock Tuesday night
to walk up to the Opera-house, step into
the orchestra and lead in the low, soft
music once more in the last act of
Phoenix" as he did-with the same
music-for Mr.. Mobiles over twenty-five
years ago? 1t would be something of
sensation to see it done and no one
we apprehend would enjoy it more than

KILLED BY ROBBERS.
Hungarian and His Wife Stabbed
to Death.

Wilkesbarre Pa, Nov. 24.-The mining
town of Nesquehoning, in Carbon county,
was the scene of a double murder SUM-
day. the victims being Mrs. Casper Laboy
and her husband. The former was in
stantly killed and the latter fatally
wounded.
The Derpetrators of the crime are three
unknown Hungarians who Were arrested
by "A mum ber Of citizens while atteIn pting
to make their escape, and bad 1t not been
for the interference OF the coal and iron
police all three would have been lynched.
The prisoners were taken to Mauch Chunk
and are now in Jail awaiting a hearing.
The Laboys have always been looked
upon as upright hard working people, and
during the past ten years have accumu-
lated quite a snug sum of money. To Sc
cure their hard earned savings which We're
supposed to be hidden in their home, the
muderers entered the house at an early
hour In the morning.
on hearing the footsteps Mrs. LabOy
awakened her husband. A moment later
and at the sight of one of the intruders
Laboy Jumped from his bed and scufrle
ensued, but before he could do anything
the three grabbed hiIa and in an instant ne
lay PROSTATE on the floor.
Mrs Laboy started for the street to
give an ALARM but before she had reached
the foot of the stairs she was overtaken
by one of the Hangarians who buried the
blade of stietto deep in her breast,
causing almost insta Mt death
The robbers then became alarmed on
hearing a noise on the outside, but before
escaping from the residence they slashed
Laboy with their knives in a most horrible
manner, leaving him as they supposed
dead on the floor
When t became knownthat murder had
been committed a posse of citizens was
formed and a thorough search made for
the assassins. Every foot of ground was
goneo yer n the neishborhood, and Onreach-
ing an old shanty near the railroad station
they found the three burly Hungarians.
They were spattered with blood and each
had the appearance of being engaged in a
struggle. They could give no account Of
themselves, not being able to speak Eng
lish, and it was all the officers co uld do to
keep the people from stringing them to a
tree.
