PIANOS AND MUSICAL INSTRU.
MENTS.

Our recent notice to piano buyers, in
the different newspapers, has done
some good among unfortunates who
bought shoddy consignment pianos, and
among those who Intended buying the
same class. Ridiculous promises, the
demanding of notes on time sales, and
CHASING Cheap shoddy" pianos,as first
class, are now ventilated, so that buy
ers deserve no sympathy, if they get
caught by 'smooth-talking" agents.
Manufacturers of reliable pianos, of
recognized high standard, have no
trouble to sell their products to light
mate dealers. They do not open agen-
cies in big and little towns, nor scat
ter their instruments broadcast among
a lot of irresponsible agents; RESPONSE
bic houses cannot afford to misrepre-
sent the qualities of Instruments. nor
make silly promises or any statement,
which could not stand investigation.
We have built up successful business
during the past 81 years, by liberal and
fair dealing, good values and honest
representations; handling only reliable
instruments, and selling on easy pay
ments WITHOUT NOTES
Buyers of pianos, organs, violins,
guitars, mandolins and other musical
instruments, will get as good value for
their money from our house, as they
can anywhere in the United States.

which was well attended.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-13

Francis Murphy, the widest known
temperance advocate in the world, was
born sixty years ago in an humble cot
tage in Ireland. He is the founder of
the blue ribbon" and Iron clad
pledge" movements. Mr.. Murphy and
Mr.. Moody have recently been labor
ing together in some of the large cities
How deeply they have entered into the
affections of the country everyone
knows.
Five thousand people have just signed
Mr.. Murphy's temperance pledge in
Boston
Mr.. Murphy is q great believer in
Paine's celery compound. For years
he has been thoughtfully observing and
advising men for their bodily and spir-
itual welfare.
"A sound mind in a sound body
has been the constant theme of this
great philanthropist.
Because of it's power of strengthening
and restoring the nerves and brain
james celery compound is used today
in many such families as that of Mr.
Murphy where no other remedy would
be thought of for moment.
Mr.. Murphy writes to the Boston
Globe: "Paine's celery compound has
been used in my family with good eff
feet. 1t is a splendid remedy"

compound to his fellow practitioners
and to the world.

there is nothing that at all resembles

finish and started into do some leading
keeping 1t up for two rounds. Nc
Mahon seemed to be losing a little of
his aggressiveness and for three rounds
Bernstein forced matter. Several times
he got McMahon's head in chancery
and tried to jab him out, but Mcmahon
succeeded each time in protecting his
chin. The fourteenth round saw Me-
Mahon doing most of the lodging and
Bernstein trying full arm blows. In
the fifteenth Mcmahon landed a clean
left hand swing on the right jaw but
1t did not do any more damage than to
make Bernstein groggy for the remain
der of the round From the sixteenth
to the twentieth round the men went
at each other in the most vicious man
ner, disregarding their guard in u reck
less way and swinging, hooking and
upper cutting almost continuously
1t was any mans fight when they
shook hands for the twentieth round.
THREE VALUABLE MINUTES.
In three minutes one or the other of
them would be three hundred dollars
richer. Their work just then was
worth 500 minute. Bernstein landed
lucky right upper cut. This gave him
confidence and made Mcmahon a tritle
weak. He followed it up with short
punches. Then Mcmahon rallied and
the men came together with terrific
force in the several fierce ruSheS. Mel
ther wavered. Both then started up
per cutting and the round wound up
with a pretty straight punch from Nc
Mahon which landed on Bernstein's
face.
Referee McNally without any delay
declared Bernstein the winner. The
crowd was surprised, but knowing Joe
to be good fellow and strictly honest
it did not make any hostile demonstra-
ton further than to shout draw"
draw" to let Mcmahon know it did not
agree with the finding of the referee.
Mcmahon also lost $25 of his own
money by reason of being one minute
late in weighing-in. The men put up
forfeit of $50 each to be on hand
at the Excelsior club at $50 yesterday
afternoon to weigh-in. Owing to rail-
road delays Mcmahon did not arrive
until 3.S1 Bernstein demanded the
| forfeit and it had to be given him. He.
| however, compromised by taking half
| in consideration of the fact that it was
no fault of McMahon's that he was not
| on time.

EARLY MORNING FIRES.
One Destroyed the Dolan Home in
Dunmore Yesterday Morning.

There We're two early morning Dun
more fires yesterday, one destroying
the residence of Mr.. Dolan, on Quincy
avenue, Dunmore, near the Scranton
city line, and the other slightly dam
aging the hardware store of William
Wheatcroft on Blakely street.
The occupants of the Dolan house
barely had time to escape in scant at
tire at 2.45 o'clock, when the basement
was found to be completely enveloped
in flames. An alarm was rung from
box Al and was followed by a general
alarm, which brought all the Dunmore
companies to the scene. The fire abat.
ed only when the structure had beer
reduced to ashes.
The building was valued at $1,000
and was only partially insured.
The fire in Wheatcroft's hardware
store was discovered at 73O O'Clock
and was followed by an alarm from
box u. 1t was soon got under con
troll. The damage was slight, the
flames being eXtinguished by a buckle
brigade before the arrival of the com.
panies. John Stanton owns the build
ing.

After a long line of lamentable fizzles,
Scranton admirers of the fstic art last
night enjoyed a rafting good mill. 1t
took place at Music hall under the
auspices of the Excelsior Athletic club
and was witnessed by about three hun
dred sports, who paid dollar apiece to
get in.
The fighters were Joe Bernstein, of
New York. and Danny Mcmahon, of
Philadelphia, one hundred and twenty
two pound men with national reputa-
tions. Bernstein has been fighting for
three years before the athletic clubs in
and around New York and was never
defeated but once and that was, it Is
claimed, on a fluke. Mcmahon is the
best man of his class around Philadel-
phia and last Monday night won the
battle of his life by defeating Aus
tralian Billy Smith.
1t was twenty-round go, Marquis of
Queensbury rules, with siX-ounce
gloves, for a purse of 5000. Bernstein
got the decision but the crowd evil
denced that it would have been better
satisfied had 1t been declared a draw.
There was a preliminary three round
bout between Toby Gardner and Paddy
was declared a draw, after which John
j. Durkin, president of the club, made
the announcement that Joe McNally
had been chosen referee and James J..
Coleman, Sig Cohen and John Kennedy
timekeepers. The principals then came
on with their seconds and were pho
tographed by Dewitt Dolly" Lyons,
the champion bantam weight of Ameri-
ca, Vic Whitman, of New York and
Larry Ketrick looked after Bernstein.
Hugh Kennedy, of Philadelphia and
Walter Schlichter, of the Philadelphia
Item, went into McMahon's corner
Both men were in the pink OF condition
and We're as evenly matched to all
outward appearances as two fighters
could possibly be.

BAIL WAS NOT GOOD.
LangOwski Could Furnish No Other
and Commitment WAS Issued

Dangel Langowski, the publisher of a
Polish weekly who was arrested on a
charge of criminal libel preferred by
Rev Rronislaw Iwanowski and given a
hearing by Alderman Millar Thursday
afternoon, is having some difficulty in
furnishing the required $1,000 bail. He
was released on Thursday evening on
bail, which afterwards proved to be of
an Insecure kind. 1t was furnished by
fellow countryman, who gave the
name of Norwiski
Nontzksi, as his name appears in the
directory, has property on the South
Side valued at about $1,000 but is en-
numbered to almost it's full value.
Langowski was unable to furnish 9TH
er bail and in default a commitment
was issued for him and placed in the
hands of a constable.
