WILoSKY WAS DISCHARGED.
Charged with Embezzlement, but
Charge Was Not Proven.

John Wilosky, agent of the Singer
Sewing Machine company, was yester-
day arrested on a warrant secured by
Mrs. Lizzie Elsens, of South Scranton,
charging him with embezzlement.
1t appears that Mrs. Elisens paiu
Wilosky SIS on a sewing machine and
later, upon going to Agent Davis, of
the company found that the money
had not been paid over. Wilosky had
paid the money, it seems, to another
agent, but Mrs. Elisens didn't know
this and had him arrested.
Alderman KassOn, after hearing the
evidence on both sides and upon learn
ing that Wilosky had paid the money
over. decided that there had been no
embezzlement, and discharged him.

A VERY PECULIAR AFFAIR.
Bullet Strikes Arthur Henshaw, but
He Heard No Report.

Arthur Henshaw, a conductor for the
Scranton Railway company, was the
victim of a most peculiar accident,
while returning from work last night,
shortly after 10 o'clock. He resides on
Mifilin avenue, and was going along
Spruce street, between that avenue
and Franklin, when he felt something
strike his deby hat and then his head,
almost knocking him senseless.
He took off his hat, when a bullet
dropped out and rolled on the ground.
1t had struck the hat and went right
through, cutting quite a cash on his
head. He FASTENED to DR.. Everhart's s
Office, where the wound was dressed.
He heard no report of either a re-
volver or a gun, and is at loss to
account for the affair. One theory Is
that someone fired at him with an air.

NEW DURYEA CARS.
The First Ones Were Put in Service
Yesterday.

The first of the six new cars which
the Scranton Railway company has
purchased for use on the Duryea line
was put in service yesterday. Two
others have arrived in this city, anG
the other three are on their way here.
The new cars are the same size as
the large Washburn-Drinker and
Providence cars, and are similarly
constructed, with the seats arranged
like those in a railway coach. The
seats are wider than those in the other
cars, thus allowing two persons to sit
together with more comfort.
All six Of the cars will be equipped
with the new compressed air brake.

James McGinnis Arrested Last Night
by Special officer Gilhool.

night on Lackawanna avenue by Spe-

tacking up boycott notices on tele-

he wouldn't have tackled the notices
up if he thought he was acting con-
trary to law.

nance" 1t is pretty play and Mr.. Muir
ply is said to be at his best in the charac-
ter of David Holmes, the .'bookish' hero.
Miss Morton has written part which eN
actly suits the quaint comedian, who is
himself perfectly delighted with the piece.
1t gives his talent opportunity TO shine
with greater hriliiancy than ever before.
In "A Bachelors Romance" Miss Morton
has demonstrated that she is woman who
knows human nature and understands life
Every one OF her characters is such as We
might expect to meet any day. The lines
OF the play are well written, and in no
place has the dramatist violated the can
ons OF good taste. The action of the play
is rapid and the interest is sustained until
the very last moment. 1t is seldom that
the subordinate characters in play are
SO faithfully and conscientiously drawn.
Mr.. Murphy is under contract fo- term
many years and still remains Sol Smith
tired temporarily from the stage. Mr..
Berger has built for his new star an en-
tirely new and elaborate production and
has surrounded him with weli-kn0wn peo-
pie. including William H. Pascoe, Louise
Thorndyke Boucicault. Dorothy Sherrod,
Fanny Addison Pitt, and Ethel Strickland.
Mr.. Murphy is lean and dry, with large
reserve force of humor, and at the same
time has no observable maInerisms. He
never strains for effect and is able 10
elicit an abundance OF laughter and tears.
He takes his place among the stars of the
first magnitude. while yet young

ton. At first he would not listen to any
thing that even savored Of his abandoning
his hopeless contest. but last summer when
Mr.. Fred G. Berger approached him with
a plan for placing a stock organization on
the Lafayette stage, he readily fell in with
the idea. He had faith in Mr.. Berger as
a man. in his ability and in his judgment
as a theatrical manager OF experience.
There is small doubt that had Mr.. Berger
or any other theatrical manager. for that
matter. in whom Mr.. Painter had the same
implicit faith, preached the stock company
plan, Washington long ago would have had
an organization of no lesser worth than
Mr.. Berger's company.
Mr.. Painters friends aver that had he
witnessed the brilliant inaugural Of the
stock season and known that the theatre
was once more resort for the class OF
people for whom it was built. it would have
been great solace to the good man, and
he would have realized that, after all, his
fight had not been without it's successful
results. and who knows but that this
knowledge might have eased and made hap
pier and brighter the last few hours Of
one who did so much for that portion OF
Washingtons population that attends the
atrical entertainments.

usually strong ones this enterprlsins man
agement has presented in the past. Not
only are novelty ard merit combined in
liberal and entertaining proportions, but
there is also q wide scope in it's variety.
Heading the bill will be the worli-famous
prima donna, Marie Tavary, who will be
seen for the first time in vaudeville this
season. Madame Tavary will be rcmeIn-
bered by local lovers of grand opera as
the leading star of the Tavary Grand Eng
lish Opera Company. an organization
which received SO much commendable
comment n few seasons ago, both here
and abroad. For her appearance here this
week, Miss Tavary will be heard in
special repertoire of grand opera airs and
popular compositions. A second head
liner and one that will be seen here also
for the first time this season, are those
celebrated comedy stars. the RUSSELL
Brothers. in their famous specially, Two
Irish Servant Girls" which has conyulsed
theatregoers from Maine to California.
third headlinor will be Juan Caicedo. the
acknowledged worlds greatest wire ar
fist, and the man with SO many imitators.
Caiaedo's fcGts en- the bounding wire are
little short of marvellous, and for this
week he promises. in addition TO his al
ready remarkable performance, some new
and sensational tricks.

For the hilarious character of his little
sketches, Joseph Hart is famous, and for
her pertness and stunning costumes, Car
rie De Mar is equally noted. These two
clever players form one OF the most Dopu-
lar and successful OF theatrical alliances.
This week Mr.. Hart and Miss De Mar will
present The Quiet Mr.. Gay" title i'm

people laugh. That is the beginning and
the end of its purpose and usefulness, and
in SO doing 1t fulflls its mission and fur
nishes the reason for its existence. 1t was
with difficulty that Manager Chase secured
the services of J. X. Murray and Clara
Lane for this week. owing to the i'm
mense hit they made at Keiths Boston
theatre. Their operate sketch. Heart and
Hand" by lie Coco, was received with such
favor that they were re-engaged week after
week, and continued during that time the
chief feature that drew unusually large
audiences TO the theatre. The act Is said
to be one of the best and most artistic of
its kind, and certainly the eminent places
in opera for so long occupied b. Mr.. Muir
ray and Miss Lane are convincing evidence
of their ability TO satisfy the keenest and
most critical taste. The third star engage
ment is that of Wright Huntington and
company. in "a Stolen Kiss" by Brandon
Hurst 1t provides twenty-one minutes of
sparkling comedy. and the assertion that
it provakes seventyfcur laughs in that
space of time has never been controverted.
Its comedy is said to be crisp and clean
and in generous measure. and New York
audiences have voted it immensely clever.

The past week was one Of the most not
able that the chronicler of current local
dramatic happenings will probably expe-
rience during the present season. From
a purely local viewpoint, the inaugural
stock company were the most important
events, while from broader scope of the
reviewers vision, the first city production

in Foxy CUTLER" should be assigned the
place of prominence. Both the Columbia
and Lafayette Theatres were accorded the

engagement. Manager Berger's efforts to
give local theatregoers splendid stock
company have been amply rewarded by
audiences of generous proportions and
much enthusiasm. There is little doubt
of the success of the Lafayette venture
and with the excellent bills that will lie
put in evidence each week, crowded houses
should soon be the rule at Mr.. Bergers
house. The theatres devoted to vaudc-
vile have enjoyed good patronage. while
