HEBREW FEAST OF PURIM.
Festival of Rejoicing Celebrated Yes

Yesterday the Feast of Purim was Gel
ebrated by Hebrews all over the world.
The festival really began at sunset
Wednesday and commentaries the de-
liVerance of the Jews from the destruc-
tion planned by the Persians. The
story is revealed in the Book of Esther.
Services We're held in the synagogues
throughout the world when was read
the scroll Of Esther. The scrolls are
prepared on parchment and are used
only for the Purim feast. 1t is custo-
mary among the more orthodox Jews
to abstain from meat and drink during
the day preceding the feast but such
is not a general observance.
The Feast of Purim is a festival of re-
joicing and might be compared to the
Christian Christmas; presents are ex-
changed and the poor not forgotten

An Angsred Husband Makes a Murder
Gus Attack.
WAS JEALOUS OF HIS NEIGHBOR
After Ordering Him to Stay Away
from His Home He Meets Him at
His Gate at Early Morning and At
tempts to Remove Him with II Shot
Gun-- Escape Had the
Man who Engendered the Jealousy.

After a heated war of words with his
neighbor, Philip Powan, yesterday,
Thomas Barlott, of Edgerton, a mining
settlement near Jelmyn, entered his
house. seized Il gun and returning lev
elled 1t directly at the cause of his
wrath and fired. 1t was loaded with
buckshot and several of the missiles en-
tered Powan's face tearing furrows in
the flesh which while not of neces-
sarily fatal nature Will dstigure him
for life.
Barlott's bad aim was the only thing
that saved Powan's life, as the men
We're only a short distance apart and
Barlott undoubtedly meant murder.
Jealousy is said to be the cause of
the quarrel. Powan, it is alleged was
fond Of Mrs. Barlott and his attentions
arousing Barlott's suspicion he deemed
ii prudent to order Powan to keep
away. Yesterday morning at { o'clock
the jealous husband met Powan near
his gate and the result was as above
narrated. DR.. Shields, who is attend
ing Powan, says his escape from death
Is almost miraculous.

Before coming to Scranton Mr. Blair
had been active i'm the management OF
the Delaware, LIckawanna and West

in other steam railroads and afterward
invested heavily in railroad enterprises

MANTELL IN MONBARS.
Large Audience Saw Him Last Night
at the Academy.

Robert Mantell gave fine presenta-
tion of "Monbars" at the Academy of
Music last night before a large audi
ence. 1t was a benefit for the Green
Ridge wheelmen and the bicycle boys
and their friends We're present to the
number of about twelve hundred.
"Monbars" is Il role in which Mr.
Mantell has been frequently seen in
this city, but theater goers do not tire
of it for it is peculiarly suited to him
and has done not little to win for Mr.
Mantell the position ne enjoys as one
of our foremost romantic actors. This
story of "MonbaTs" is dramatic and
highly interesting and the various
scenes are so diffused as to lend variety
and color to the drama.
Mr. Mantel's leading lady, Miss
Charlotte Behrens, made most favor
able impression. She is young, pretty
and talented and invests the role of
Dione with the charm of her own per-
sonality. The supporting company
was composed of very capable players.

Three more North End miners were
yesterday victims of mine gas eXplo-
sion, which occurred at the Marvi1e
colliery at ll.3O o'clock II. IN. They are;
JAMES NOLAN, laborer. aged % years,
residing with his parents, corner of
Wayne avenue and Parker street
burned about the face, necE, arms
chest and back.
THEODORE HANEY, driver, aged 10
years, residing with his widowed
mother on Robert avenues burned
about the face and arms.
JAMES COUSIN, runner. aged 90 years,
residing on School street burned
about the face.
Nolan's condition is serious. but the
others escaped with comparatively
slight burns.
The explosion occurred at heading
in the Clark vein, where Nolan was
working. The supposition is that Nolan
after taking a car out of the heading
failed to properly readjust the can
vas door which regulates the air cur
rent, and that a large volume of gas
was allowed to accumulate. Whether
it was set off by Nolan, or by Harvey,
