WILKES-BARRE.
THE GREAT BARNuM SHOW.
Immense Crowds Witness Features
More Wonderful Than Ever.

Those who looked out of their win
dows at the skies early yesterday morn
ing were somewhat dismayed at the
signs which seemed to presage a stormy
day. Barnum's great show had spread
its acres Of tents on Sunday and as the
grounds were visited by thousands, ma
turally the desire was universal that
fair weather would prevail on Monday.
AS the hours wore on, II became evil
dent that rain would not spoil the par
ade. and as the sun was welcomed and
the air decidedly cool, those who wit
messed ii could not be numbered. And
II met every expectation as all of Bar
rum and Baileys promises do Owing
to the presence of low telephone. troll
ley and other wires on one or two OF the
principal streets. these thorOughfares
We're abandoned for others. But the
glittering parade was viewed by null
titudes who occupied seats In the many
windows and who lined the sidewalks
on the Public Square. In every re-
spect he parade was a success. 1t was
as entertaining an outdoor attraction
as was ever revealed in this city and
plainlyforetold the excellence of the
great show under the mammoth tents.
The schools were generally closed and
an army of little people saw the par
ade and attended the afternoon per-
forriances, not the least inviting IN ngs
being those found in the menagerie,
whose collection of animals of all kinds
has never been eXcelled. Natural his
tory never presented "A greater number
of impressive object lessons than We're
disclosed IN this great 200. 1t would
be Il waste of words to detail the many
wonderful and graceful exhibitions
given In the circus tent. There was
nota single deviation from the mar
velously attractive programme. Ar
lists of wonderful skill and daring, men
of mighty muscle and agility. women
of rae beauty and consumate courage.
all united in giving one of the best and
most thrilling arcnic exhibitions ever
seen. 1t is no eNaggeration to say that
the Barnum show this season appears
10 have taken on new lease of life
as it certainly has augmented its mag
netic features. Everything done is a
revelation of grace. skill and courage
and there Is not an offensive thing pre-
scented anywhere. The bounty OF all
nations in the menagerie tent, includ-
ing little men and women whom Stan
ley discovered in the heart of Africa, as
well a. some tiny specimens of the
ancient cliff dwellers, are worth study
ing. All in all the Barnum show is
worth going far to see. 1t drew two
immense audiences here yesterday.

A BURGLAR CAUGHT.
The Man is Finally Secured Alter
Series of RObbcrics.

For some time Santo Pughano, pro-
prietor of the Columbus house on Dun
dan street, has missed sums or money
that have been lef. in the cash regis
ter over night. The robbers left no
c!ew and the locks of the doors We're IN
good order SO ii was not known now
any cne gained entrance to the place.
The burglars continued at irregular
intervels and although Pugliano had
his suspicious. he did not have enough
evidence u.un which to make an ar
rest. The person he knew was some
ore who was well acquainted with the
place and so he set secretely to work TO
get some evidence.
II was finally thought advisable that
watchers should be placed in the room
each nigh. and for the last two weeks
two men have passed the nights hidden
in one of the booths. Here they could
see the entire bar room without them
selves being seen.
The nights passed on and the burglar
did not come Pugliano had began to
think his clan had leaked out and was
"a little discouraged. He determined TO
keep the watch a few nights longer
and Yesterday met his reward. Inc
watchers, Salvatore Gesleottt ana Peter
Mussaro, We're early yesterday morn
ing aroused by a crraking noise. They
We're on the alert in II moment ana were
ready 10 give the intruder II warm re
ception. suddenly the d"og opened ana
the iigufe of Il man was seen to enter
and make his way toward the registers
and with Il key o"ie,rci the door. He
had Just placed some money in his
pocket when .he men fired their revOl-
verS to alarm the burglar. The fright
was too much for the robber and he
fell on his knees asking Tor mercy.
While one of the men kept guard
over the prisoner the other went to
arouse Mir. Puglano. Then something
happened that looks rather queer, for
when Pugliano returned the lights were
4 cut ard the man LETT on guard was
Y lpointing his revolver at the place he
thought the rUbber was. He had made
his ESCAPE through the cedar. but was
at once pursued. He was uvertaken
and brought back to the hotel. where
he was placed in tn" hands OF u police
man.
The burglar made his way, into the
house through the front cellar window.
Some one from the inside must have
unlocked this and Pugliano is endeav-
oring to get Cooper. the man who was
caught, turn states evidence. :
Cooper claimed he was innocent, say
ing he was on his way home when TAX

of Police McAndrew had no belief in
the story and after itlie hard work
succeeded in getting some of the truth
fiom him. He says he entered through
the cellar door, which was onened y

Cooper says Colette. the bartender,
