surplus to be parcelled between the

The Spooner Co.

The Spooner Co., which will on
Monday next begin weeks en-
gagement at the Grand, playing at
popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, is
unquestionably one of the best and
strongest of the repertoire com
panies now in existence. The or
ganization has been seven success
sive seasons touring the West and
South with marked success, and is
highly recommended by the press
of the country. Speaking of the
Spooner CO., the Nashville Banner
of Dec. Is, says:
IA crowded house attended the
opening performance by the Spooner
Dramatic Company at the Masonic
last night. The bill was 1.-THE
Flower Girl" with the foregoing
cast. The company is good popu-
lar-priced organization and handled
the play well and to the satisfaction
of the audience, which applauded
literally, and at times heartily. In
addition to the sustained interest OF
the plot a number of songs and
dances were introduced and caught
the house."
One of the decided attractions OF
the near future will be the Anna
ture Dramatic performance to be
given very shortly after New Year
The Drama chosen is that pathetic
and always beautiful one of Bull
wer's-The Lady of Lyons. Mrs.
Arnold, who is in charge of this
movement, has been most careful in
her histrionic selection of the
Dramatis Personae, as the following
names, few of the more prominent
characters, will show: Misses Mary
Wilkes, Leigh Whitthorne, Virginia
Carpenter; Messrs. l.. B. Hughes, j
G. Dexter, f. s. Shoup, besides
others of equal merit. 1t is to be
hoped large attendance will be the
reward of these willing workers, as
the cause is one all hearts should be
open to, that of raising fund to
help meet the present Indebtedness
on the Rectory of st. Peters church.

IN N E.nrk.

While standing on the corner of

man s;loat had his attention attracted
to n lad of about twelve years who
was spending money at a peanut stand
with the freedom of a prince. After
watching him for some time he said
the lad flashed roll of bills and think
ing it rather suspicious that a young
ster should be going about with so
much money i'm his pocket, he called
him over and started to question him.
The result was the discovery that the
boy is undoubtedly runaway and that
he stole large amount of money from
his home.
He said his name was Charles Van
Horn. son of Edward Van Horn, Il
truck farmer of Dorrancetown, Lu-
the story he told Captain Edwards,
gave him n roll of money and permis-
sion to come to Scranton and spend a
few days. He came on the trolley cars
as far as Duryea, walked to Midtown
and from there rode to Scranton in
company with boy who works in II.
L. Kulp's livery. This latter boy, who
is II years of age and gives the name of
Frank Shear, was caught i'm Riley Ed
wards stable as he was putting up his
horse. He and the Van Horn boy We're
put in different rooms and questioned
alternately. Their stories conilicted in
so many details that the police We're
assured that they were up to some
wrong doing and decided to hold them
both.
The Van Horn boy had $249O on his
person. He bought a whip for fifty
cents on the road to Scranton and gave
Shear So for driving him from Mud
town. The police communicated with
the Van Horn boys father and also
with Shears employer, Liveryman
Kulp.

LlFE-SAViNG SERVICE.
Crystals to BE Provided with New
Equipment for That Purpose.

The Crystals will soon be equipped
with one of the most modern of life
saving equipments, Pompier ladders
and life belt. A resolution providing
for the purchase of this equipment is
now before the mayor and it is expect
ed will be made operative in a day or
two.
The ladders are used for scaling the
outside of tall buildings. With two of
them it is possible to attain any height
a fireman dare climb and as the life
belt, which accompanies them, makes
the scaling free from the danger of
falling there is no cause for a fireman
hesitating to ascend to any desirable
height. The ladders are nothing more
or less than single pole with an arm
at the top to anchor it on a window
and cross pieces at convenient distance
es on which the firemen climb. By
