PREAR'S STORE AGAIN.
For tho Fourth Time 1t Is Entered and
RnnSA ckcd bX RurglnrS.

R0uSHckcd by burglars.
r. H. Frear's grocery store on Adams
avenue was again burglarized Thurs
day night. making the fourth time in
four months that the place has been
entered. Nothing was secured but
about dollar in change and some
sweetmeats. Judging from the latter
article Of booty, the police believe the
robbery to have been the work Of boys.
A chisei about a foot long was used
to force the door open. To secure an
entrance 1t was also necessary to push
aside two barrels of apples which had
been placed against the door as an ex-
ira precaution. The chisel was found
outside the door this morning.
Once inside the thieves found easy
sailing. The safe had been left un-
locked SO 1t was an easy matter to burst
open the inner drawers with a hatchet
and chisel found inside the store. AL
though every apartment Of the safe
was ransacked nothing of value was
secured except about dollar in change
Disappointed here the thieves turned
their attention to candies and cigars
and made off with a couple of dollars
worth. Several clues We're left behind
and the police are confident Of being
able to capture the guilty parties.
Last night Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad conductor
brought to the police station a drawer
belonging to the burglarized safe. One
of his brakemen found 1t on top of a
| coal car at daylight yesterday morning
as the train was passing Henryville.
AS the train left this city at 1240 yes
terday morning it Is evident that the
| burglary was committed before mid
| night. The drawer contained some
papers, q Confederate $50 bill. two
punched quarters and two twenty-cent
pieces. The trainman says that no.
body rode out of Scranton on the train.

from one town.
Three ladies and one gentleman went
to good positions recently. Competent
persons have no difficulty in securing

Buck, Whitmore G. Co. have been re-
quested to open schools in other towns.
They prefer, however, to give the
Scranton Business college the benefit
of their skill and long experience. and
thus keep 1t in the lead. A visitor said,
a few weeks ago.. "You have the larg-
est school in Pennsylvania"
Two Of the 'city fathers" one q Sc
lect and the other a common coun-

Spring Opening in the Vehicle Trade.
One of the most important features
that mark the continual progress of our
enterprising city is the constant in
crease in the demand for fine vehicles,
and the development Of taste among
our citizens generally for carriages Of
superior quality and elegant styles.
For several years past the we'll
known firm of William Blume & Son
have used every effort in their power to
increase this demand by keeping in
stock a fine line of vehicles Of a high
grade manufactured by the most reput-
able builders in the country. This firm
continues to be the leaders of the ve-
hicle trade Of northeastern Pennsyl-
vania and in order to maintain that
position and to keep abreast Of the
times have recently restocked their
spacious repository with the largest
collection of stylish vehicles to be seen
in the city. In addition to their regu-
lar line of buggies, surries, phaetons,
cabriolets, business and farm wagons,
they have added an extensive line of
the very latest specialties. consisting
Of traps, buckboards. stanhopes. God
dards speeding wagons, etc, Of var
ious styles.
A special feature with this firm for
the season of SO will be the rubber
tired and ball-bearing vehicles, of
which they will carry a most complete
line.
Another popular wagon will be the
celebrated "Slivet's Runabout." This
Is the latest New York 'gentleman's
road wagon. and can be furnished either
with or without ball-bearings and rub
ber tires as desired.
Their display Of traps Is the finest
exhibition of its kind ever seen In the
city, and is not to he surpassed out
side of the Metropolis.
Every person who Is in the market
for vehicle of any kind should go to
the place where they can get best suit
ed with style. quality and prices. and
that place is the reliable repository of
William Rlume & Son.

WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
Odd Character That Was Driven Into the
station House nv tho storm.

Last evening about s o'clock, while
the wind storm was at its height, there
drifted into the station house one of the
oldest characters as far as appearance
goes that has ever sought shelter there.
OF all the tramos that have ever been
seen there he was the most peculiar
looking. The statement that he was a
tramp makes needless the assertion
that he was dirty. He wore four heavy
coats, one inside his undershirt and the
others outside. Sandwiched between
the coats he wore heavy shawl, which
was once white, and around his neck
was tied an immense kerchief which
was nearly as large as the shawl and
quite AZ clean.
He also wore another article Of ap-
parel, made from feed bag, which re-.
