Card of Thanks.

! desire to return my thanks TO the
iremcn or Dunmore, Scranton and Green
Ridge, also to our neighburs for their
brave work at the fire on Friday night.
The nremen of Dunmore were on hand
in about tel minutes after the alarm at
No. 10, but they We're hiudcred by finding
the water plugs frozen and not sufficient
force from the main pipe to do as ef.
hcient work as would have been done
with good supply. The neighbors did
brave work with garden hose. Some
brave women came, bringing their no 20
from block away and using it, and one
woman ordered the men to put out the
lire from a pile of lumber
In our sitting room women were on
their knees asking God to save the houses
exposed, and barn, which PRAYER was
beautifully answered in changing and
holding the wind, from further destruc-
tion; and so many have shown their
sympathy by personal Friendship.
My loss after careful estimate will
be about $1,000. The boiler sprung a leak
Saturday morning, Jan. 23 an eighth OF
an inch so as to emit steam. The fire
was drawn and steam blown of I'm the
or noise more than ordinary blowing off
steam. The boiler was taken out of the
mill and no fire built in the mill after
ward until the big fire on Friday night
The explosion that morning was from
some other source. The fire on Friday
night started from shavings I'm about the
center of the mill by an incendiary hand.

THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3 1899.

defendants waived n hearing and en-
tered bail for their appearance at court
From an interview with Mr.. Horwitz
II was learned that the alleged assault
occurred about / o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon in store on Penn avenue,
kept by u. Harris. Mr.. Horwitz stated
that he was engaged in a business con-
versation with Mr.. Harris, when the
defendants all rushed in and began to
pull at him and beat him. One struck
and jabbed at him with a pipe. Another
seized broom and broke it over his
head, causing bad scalp wound, from
which he bled profusely. Horwitz tried
to escape behind a counter, and they
even followed him there. Though Mr..
Harris demonstrated, the Rosenbergs.
so Horwltz states. only desisted when
they grew tired. Horwitz then sought
a doctor and later the alderman.
He alleges that this is not the first
time he has been maltreated by the
Rosenbergs, and that the trouble grew
out OF the overt act of the women of
the Rosenberg family in making his
wife sick about a week ago. 1t was in
this wise: A servant girl, who worked
for the Rosenbergs, left there and came
to Horwitz. While Mr.. Horwitz was
absent one of the Rosenberg women
went to his house and upbraided Mrs.
Horwitz, who was i'll in bed, and also
accused the girl Of having stolen goods
from the Rosenberg home.
For demonstrating against this ac-
tion Horwitz alleges that he was set
upon and beaten. The parties con-
cerned are neghbors on Penn avenue.

ANNUAL MASQUERADE.
Members of the Scranton Liederkranz
and Their Friends Enjoyed
Themselves in Music
Hall Last Night.

Every year for the last three decades
each Liederkranz masquerade ball has
been voted more of a success than the
ones preceding it. Last nights event
was no exception. In every feature 1t
was the peer of its predecessors and
In many it surpassed them.
The opening burlesque was especial
ly excellent. It was originated and di-
rected by NJ. Eisemann, director of
the Chicago German Theatrical Stock
company, who recently became q MEM
Der of the Liederkranz. The curtain
rose or an Indian camp showing a
band of Indians attending a rehearsal
or their singing society--the singing
minus and pinnochle and beer being
very much plus.
Some braves bring in as captive the
Prlnce and Princess Carnival, repre-
sented by Charles Bechtold and Miss
martina Pittack, and the carnival fool,
portra' ed by Mr.. Eisemann. The exc
cutio of the prisoners is decided upon
ana preparations therefore are proceed =
ed with. The fool protests that the
prince and princess are wanted at
Music hall to open the thirtieth annu-
| al ball of the Scranton Liederkranz,
but the inconsiderate Indians are not
swerved from their full purpose even
by this.
Just as the AK is raised to strike the
fatal blow-the Scranton / iederkranz
appears upon the scene and--continued
i'm our next
At first ii vas decided to visit sum-
mary justice upon the savages, but one
| of the ball committee, struck by their
gay and fantastic costumes. thinks
they would be fine acquisitions to the
ball, and instead of killing them off Il
is decided to take them TO Music hall
and have them participate in the grand
march.
At this juncture Bauers orchestra
strikes up a march and the burlesuuers
coming down from the stage open the
grand march. Victor WenzeL of the
committee of arrangements, led the
way. Following him were the princ-
| and princess attended by their fool.
and, then the other members of the
committee, Frank Decker Ed Eisele.
! Frank Drcher and Fred DimmIer. The
Indians and the other Liederkranz bur-
lesquers came next and after them
marched the masQueraders In their be-
wldering variety of costumes.
Dancing followed, en- masque, until
midnight, when there was another
grand marin, and the unmasking. Sup
per by Waldner in the dining room up
stairs, filled in the intermission, and
after that the spectators were allowed
the privilege of the floor.
The decorations by Thurman were
very tasteful, the floral setting of the
stage being particularly attractive.
Between the dances the Quinnan broth
ers in the guise of organ grinder and
monkey entertained with Iaughable
acrobatic feats.

VAN HORN HAD A RAZOR.
Manner in Which He Secured 1t Is a
Mystery.

A razor was found in the cell Of
George X. Van Horn, the murderer, at
the county Jail. The discovery was
made several days ago. The weapon
was concealed in the prisoners mat
tress. Van Horn since his confinement
has always been shaved by someone
besides himself.
Van Horn has never been visited by
any unaccompanied persona keeper or
other jail attache has always been
third person present. The prisoner S
mother and his attorneys are about the
only persons who have called upon him.
The condemned man has been re-
moved to another cell. Before he en-
tered it his person was stripped Of
every article of apparel and he was
furnished with a new outfit. The new
cell was fitted with only the barest
necessities, as it is not desired to give
him the use of anything which could
be converted into a means of self-de-
struction.
A number Of new rules. calculated to
guard against the possibility Of the
escape of prisoners and against i'm
proper communication with the outside
world, have been established.

known. 1t is presumed It was acci-
dental, that a mine lamp accidentally
set fire to the oil-soaked tlmbers.
Vigorous effort was required to keep
the flames from spreading. The loca-
tion Of the boiler house across the road
and away from the engine house ac-
counts for the absence of any damage
to the steam plant
officials of the company would not,
or could not, talk definitely about the
losses yesterday. They were chiefly
concerned about the engines and other
machinery, and expressed their inabil-
ity to say how badly they were in
jured. The fan, which was of the
Gabical type, is believed to have es-
capped serious injury on account of the
protection afforded by the brick work
