Eighteen merchants or representa-
tives of merchants doing business in
this city met in Alderman w. s. Mil
lars private office yesterday afternoon
and conferred with Robert NJ. Sim
mers, special agent for the state de-
partment of agriculture. The bone of
contention, or rather the bone which
brought about the conference was
Impure Food" found in the respective
business places of the eighteen by
Agent SINNERS in his rounds.
Sooner than prosecute the eighteen,
sooner than have them each and sew
orally brought before committing
magistrate, Agent SINNERS had let
ters sent to each of the accused and
by this means were they gathered.
There were twenty-five letters sent
out, four of the merchants failing to
answer the summons. They will come,
however, said Agent SINNERS to a
Tribune reporter, if constable has
to bring them.
MUST APPEAR WEDNESDAY.
Each and every one must be at AL
derman Millar's office next Wednesday
afternoon to settle the cases against
them. If they do not trouble will fol-
low
Agent SINNERS has been here, off
and on. since last November. He has
visited nearly every store in the city
and also in Wilkes-Barre and Carbon
dale and towns and villages between.
In this citv alone he secured A sam
pies of impure food including not only
oleomargarine but also imitation of
olive oil, spices, vinegar, mustard, and
other groceries. Talking to Agent
SINNERS one would think this city was
being dieted chiefly on bogus food.
He mentioned the case of one butcher
who has been arrested five times for
| selling oleomargarine.
This butcher, when last arrested,
paid S115 to settle the case and then
he was compelled to sign a written
agreement to sell no more of the stuff.
| Spices, olive oil, vinegar, the articles
which lend themselves most easily to
| imitation were found in abundance.
Agent SINNERS told the reporter that
| instead of 40 samples he could have OBJ
| tanned several hundred. He selected
those, however, he said which could
be traced to the wholesale jobbers. Af-
ter sitting out these he sent out his
"call' last Friday to the twenty-four
in this city.
| MEETING WAS PRIVATE.
| The meeting in Alderman Millars
office was not open to reporters. II
was learned from good authority, how.
| ever. that Agent SINNERS had agreed
| to settle the case upon receipt of q
| trivial fine and the costs in each case
The penalty for a single offense OF
selling impure food, as prescribed by
the law. is fine of not less than $50
and not more than 800, the costs Of
prosecution, and a term of imprison.
ment not to exceed 30 days and not less
| than 80 days.

VERY SAVAGE TRAMP.
Assaulted a Man with a Knife Who
Would Not Buy a Blanket
from Him.

Somebody who slept last night with
out the usual lot of blankets on his
couch will be glad to read this.
Two blankets, both of a bright red
color and texture Just as warm, were
located by the police in as many parts
OF the city, and in one case under quite
serious circumstances. The blankets
are now at police headquarters, just a
few yards removed from a nameless
tramp who was caught with one in his
possession and is now in u cell.
This particular blanket stealer tried
to Sell his booty. To bring about the
sale he used a knife on bis unwilling
customers, hence his forcible detention.
lie is 4 man of about so years of age,
dirty in appearance and poorly clothed.
Last night he was intoxicated. He
knocked at the door of Michael Kler-
skis house at 2j6 River street, South
Scranton, at about 3 o'clock in the
evening. Klersld himself opened the
door.
How much will you give me for
this?' said the man on the sill, pre-
senting as he spoke a red blanket.
Il don't want it," replied Hlerski,
suspecting a hornet in the lurid folds
of the red cover.
But you must take it," said the
| tramp, speaking fiercely.
Il don't want it at any price," re-
peated Klerski calmly.
Il say you do" yell the peddler an
grily as he pushed through the door
| and into the room you've got to buy
this blanket, see%'
Now see here" spoke back Kler-
ski. getting as warm as the blanket;
you git out!'
klerski put his hands on the tramp's
shoulders with the intention of remov-
| ing him. When he did so the man
dropped the blanket, quickly thrust his
| hand in his pocket and drew out q
knife. Springing open the biggest
blade he strack savagely at Klerski.
| The sharp steel cut q, deep cash in
| Klerskrs left wrist.
| A boarder rushed to KlerslN's assist
ance. A blow from the knife and he
| also bore a wound across his hand.
But the combined strength of the
| two men was too much in the end for
the tramp. He was thrown to the
floor, pinioned and a messenger was
sent for help to police headquarters
| Patrolman John Hawks was dispatched
| to the house, and at o'clock placed
the tramp under arrest and took him
with the blanket to the police station
The fellow would not talk of his es-
capade, not even giving his name. He
| will be given a hearing in police court
this morning.
At about the same time as the affair
in South Scranton another blanket was
located on Penn avenue, near Null
berry street. Jacob Suravitch, who
keeps a store at No. APO, saw a mar
| passing with a blanket in his arms
Survatich rushed out to see the fel-
low, but he was seen first. The mar
dropped the blanket and made off to.
ward Capouse avenue at the top of his
speed Patrolman Block carried the
blanket to police headquarters. 1t was
red.
Those who lost blankets may act, as
the lodge notices say, accordingly"

$. NEVER AGAIN" AT THE LYCEUM.

Taken in its entirety Never Again" is
the most entertaining farce presented in
Scranton this season, 1t was seen at the
Lyceum last night by a large audience
and what is perhaps of more Importance,
an audience that gave every evidence of
thoroughly enjoying the concoction that
was being served up on the stage in
FrOhman's best style.
The farce is borrowed from the French
and, of course, is built on the unfaithful-
ness of husband to wife and wife to hus-
band. A French farce. or, for that mat
ter any other form of stage production
that bears that stamp, would somewdy
seem untrue to its origin If 1t did not
deal lightly with matrimony and reyel IN
domestic infelicity. The general tone of
the farce is such that a thoughtful guar
dian might be justified in denying the
young person the privilege Of u closer
acquaintance with 1t than is afforded by
the bill boards, but the situations are
constructed and acted with great deli
cacy.
There is action a plenty: in fact every
act teens with it, and the farce moves
with a dash and swing from beginning
to end sufficient to keep the interest Of
the audience constantly keyed up.
Charles Frohman has supplied a cast
for "Never Again" that would be sufti-
cient to make a success of the most or
dinary kind of a farce. The company is
headed by +. NJ. Holland, who will be re-
membered by Scranton theater goers for
his marvellous piece of acting on his last
appearance here as Handy, the servant,
in "a Social Highwayman." Last night
he was a sportive old boy who Is sup
posed by his wife to be an eXemplifica-
ton of all the virtues but who neverthe-
less manages to have a larke now and
then. The history made during one of
these larks is the foundation of the farce.
Mr.. Holland Is nothing If not natural and
his work last night was decided treat.
Grace Kimball as the wife of Katzen-
jammer, the musician, was graceful, en-
tertaining and good to look at no matter
how she was gowned, but it was hard
to associate her with the frivolous,
thoughtless ex-cook who won the affec-
tions of the egostical Katzenjammer. 1t

ton where she will be kept pending an
examination of her mental condition.
The arrest of Mrs. Wintermantlc last
night, however, was upon a warrant
issued from Alderman Peter Robling's
cllice in the Eleventh ward by william
Hauser, who alleges that Mrs. Winter
mantle smashed the glass in his front
door, threatened to harm Hauser bod
lily and divers other things
The woman gave the police a great
deal of trouble about FIVE months ago.
She was at that time sent to the Hill
side Home and has only recently been
at liberty. She has a family of several
children.

is excellent in a character that seems
removed from the class of work for
which she has n natural bent other very
clever members of the company were
Maggie Holloway Fisher, Marie Derrick
son, n very pretty and graceful woman,
Hugo Toland Samuel Reed, George Mar
ion and Anita Rothe. Some very pretty
gowns were worn by the women during
the three acts of the farce.

MRS. DUGGAN ARRESTED THEM.
Two Boys Who Play Pool Against
Parental Wishes.

Mrs. w. b. Duggan left last nights
meeting of the board of associated
charities, of which she is agent, and
went to a pool room on Penn avenue
near Mulberry street at the suggestion
of the mothers of several young boys
who frequent the place. Mrs. Duggan
with the assistance of Patrolman Sar-
ter placed under arrest Frank Cour-
etti, of 245 Raymond court and Iona
Van Valen, of 1886 Breck court, two
boys under 16 years of age.
After a period of promise-making
at police headquarters the boys were
discharged. The proprietor of the
pool room, Mrs. Duggan says, will be

ST. PATRIoK,s ~oLUBSnoINGs.

The monthly meeting of St. Patrick's catho-
lie Club was held last evening in the tempo
rary quarters ON Grand street. The meeting
was. well attended. and Father Carroll presid-
ed The reports of both the treasurer and sec
rotary were held. The financial, condition of
the club is excellent. as shown by the treas
urer,s report, and there isea good balance in
the treasury. Four members were enrolled last
evening, bringing the number on the member
ship roll up to 10. Arrangements for the re-
ception to be held on February q We're COM
pleted. A pool tournament, which bids fair
to be the biggest event of the kind in this
city. will begin this evening. In all there are
fhirty-two entries and among the aspirants for
the handsome prizes are some expert players.
II is thought that it will take almost two
weeks to decide who the winners are. The
prizes are billiard cues and dress suit cases;
rather Carroll explained last evening to the
members That he was going to have several
electric lights put in the park alongside of
the cinder track. He wants the athletes of
the club to go out each evening when the
weather permits and practice on the track
SO that they can get in form to compete with,
the members of other Catholic clubs in this
city. The track although small, being eleven
laps to the mile. is an excellent one, being
we'll banked and rolled. Mr.. Thomas OtDay
is in charge of the park and athletes.
