RUSSELL AS bob ACRES"
Very Satisfactory Performance OF Shcri
dnn's Sterling Old Comedy

dams sterling Old Comedy.
Sol Smith Russells appearance at the
rockingham Saturday night in Sheri-
dams favorite play. THE Rivals" was
greeted with rather sparse audience.
II it was that Scranton theater- goers,
with memories of the grand production
given this sterling old comedy by the
Jefferson Drew company some years
ago at the Academy, feared glaring
discrepancy. they We're misled by their
apprehensions for once. Mr.. Russell
does not aspire too high when he es-
says the role Of Fighting Bob" which
SO many worthy actors have chosen to
display their ability in.
So liberal and enthusiastic was the
applause that at the end of the second
act Mr.. Russell was compelled to make
speech. He said that 1t appeared
from the size of the house that Scran-
tOnians do not take as kindly to the old
sterling comedies as TO some of those
which are the output Of the modern
brain, and which are the rage just at
present.
As u whole the performance was well
staged and generally satisfactory. Next
to Mr.. Russell the honors went to Mrs.
Fanny Addison Pitt. the Mrs. Mala-
prop, and George w. Denham, the
David. Mr.. Hudson made good Sir
Anthony, and George Woodward did
well as Sir Lucius. Charles Mackays
Captain Absolute was fairly good. and
Of Miss Minnie Radcliffe, as Lydia, the
same might be said.

NO SWIMMING POOL.
A Much Desired Improvement knocked
in tho Head.

Unless the estimates committee
changes it's mind, and it is not likely it
will in this particular respect, the ar
tiiicial lake at Nay Aug park, which
was designed for a swimming and
skating pond will not eventuate this
year.
At Friday nights meeting the esti-
mates committee cut down the park ap-
preparation one-third. knocking out the
various items which provided for the
construction of the lake thereby max
ing it impossible to carry the scheme
through this year.
This will be a great disappointment
to citizens generally and to the young
people in particular who had counted
on the park commissioners filling this
long felt want ere the warm weather
set in. The popular demand for it. may
however lead to extraordinary means
being adopted to raise money for the
much desired Improvement.

ANTHRACITE STATISTICS.
No Advance In Prices Expected for tn
Month of March.

The president Of one of the larger an
thracite coal companies estimates the
market requirements for March at not
exceeding 100000 tons. 1t is improb-
able that the sales agents at their
meeting on Thursday of next week will
recommend an advance in coal prices
for March. The cold weather has not
increased the stocks of any mining and
carrying companies to any great ey-
tent. but has largely depleted the stocks
In the hands Of dealers.
Very little business has as yet been
done at the circular prices established
at the last meeting of the sales agents,
but after March l full figures will be
received on all coal mined Statistics
on anthracite production. which have
not been published since July. 1895, will
be given out monthly hereafter.

charging them with being implica-
ted in the lynehing Of Crawford and
Lewis, the bank robbers and muir
derers, last February.
The grand jury was called together
last week and instructed by
Judge Miller to use every effort in
the investigation of the lynching,
and to find out, II possible, the
names of the guilty ones. His charge
was n strong one and seems to have
had a stimulating effect. The grand
jury in making its report stated that
il was almost an impossibility to get
the particulars Of the tragedy or the
names of the principal actors in az,
and that there was an evident effort
on every side to suppress the facts
as rar as possible. Following this re
port comes the indictment OF the
three men.
The men were arrested yesterday
and lodged in Jail. Judge Miller re
fused them bail in any amount and
they were remanded to Jail 70 avail
their trial. Friends Of the indicted
men and the citizens generally, one
to go on their bonds for even half
million, and are very much e1cite'
over the fact that their offers are no
accepted and that the men remain Il

} The lynching with which thes
men are charged Is still in the mind
of the citizens Of Texas. The tw
