KINSEY AND
GEORGE ARRESTED
Charged With the Drowning of
John Potter at Mud Lake
Which Occurred August 18th

Harold Kinsey and Thomas
George, young men of Wilkes
Barre were arrested last Monday
charged with the death of John
Potter, a lumber camp foreman, at
Mud Pond, on the night of August
10. They had secret hearing
before Alderman Pollock and were
committed to Jail to await the action
of the Grand Jury.
The case is Cne of the most mys-
terious with which the police there
have ever dealt. Potter rowed two
unknown men across the lake on
the night of August 10 and next
morning was found drowned while
the men had disappeared. When
the facts of the death were pub
lished former Chief OF Police Myers.
Of Wilkes Barre, remembered get
ting bait for two of his neighbors,
Kinsey and George, to go fishing
in Mud Pond.
Suspecting they were the men
with Potter he advised them to 60
to the District Attorney and tell
their story. They did, telling him
that on the way across the lake
Potter, who had been drinking,
quarreled with them. After they
landed and he turned back, they
saw him fall out of the boat and
did not go to his aid fearing that
he would harm them. Instead
they walked through the forest for
several miles and returned home
aud said nothing.
The Coroner's jury found, how
ever, that they in some manner
threw Potter into the water"
Since then the young men have
been free while evidence has been
collected.

Mr., MAGEE'S LECTURE.

The seating capacity of the
Sunday School room OF the Nj.
L. church was fully taxed last
Thursday evening by an audience
that gathered to hear James Magee
end tell of his travels in Europe
last summer. He and J. w. Evans
of Berwick spent several weeks
abroad, and visited London, Paris,
Brussels, Cologne, The Rhine, Ber'
lin, Vienna, Venice, Rome and Ma
pies, and saw the numerous places
of interest in the various cities.
Mr.. Magee's easy, conversational
style of delivery, without any at
tempt at oratory, caught the atten-
ton of the audiance at once, ana
he was listened to with interest
throughout his discourse. He gave
some very good advice at the out
set on how to prepare tor an
European trip, the main thing be-
ing to take nothing along that the
traveller can possibly do without.
Amongvarious places visited were
the Bristish Museum, London Tow
er, Winsdor Castle, West Minister
Abbey, Parliament, Buckingham
Palace, Kensiugton Gardens, a ride
on the Thames, across the English
Channel, the sights of Paris includ-
ing Napoleon's Tomb and the Bas-
tie, Battlefield of waterloo, up the
Rhine, then to Venice and Rome,
Mount Vesuvius, Vatican, Pompei
and so on, ali of which was very
clearly described, and without re-
ference to notes Mr.. Magee spoke
for nearly an hour and half, and
his audienc. could have listened
much longer without firing. 1t
was pleasant and instructive en-
tertainment, and from the appear
ance of the silver offering at the
door the Male Bible Class had a
goodly sum to go towards the
church debt,

Organ Recital.

The organ recital given by DR..
Minor c. Baldwin on Monday even
ing in the Lutheran church, was an
exhibition of rare skill on the pipe
organ. DR.. Baldwin has a high
reputation as an organst, and he
fully maintained it. In the "S,orm
in the Mountains his own compo-
sition, 1.-The Tempest" was one of
the most wonderful effects we have
ever heard produced on an organ.
The program was so varied that it
gave the performer an opportunity
to show the various combinations
of registers to good advantage.
DR.. Baldwin is a great organist,
and the large audience listened to
him with intense interest. Miss
Rose Vollrath helped to vary the
program by singing beautiful solo
accompanied by Miss Albert.

DR.. 6. Y. Thompson.

DR.. S. Y. Thompson, the emf
nent physician of Danville, died
suddenly on Saturday evening at
6:I5 O'Clock, while sitting at his
desk in his Office writing a prescript-
ion for patient.
For a year DR.. Thompson had
been suffering with complication
of diseases, involving serious
heart trouble, which was the cause
of his sudden taking off. AS a
physician he fully realized the grav-
ity of his case and the fact that he
was at all times exposed to the
danger of sudden death, neverthe-
less with devotion that was moth
ing short of herolsm he struggled
on visiting his patients whenever at
all able to go out and attending to
a large Office practice. He was
born in Danville on October go,
I843. He was a son of John G.
and Hannah (Yorks) Thompson,
of Scotch Irish descent, who came
to this country locating at Berwick
and later removing to Espy. DR..
Thompson acquired a good educa-
tion in the public schools of Dan
vile and then studied medicine
under DR.. P. H. Long at Mechan-
icsburg, Pa. Entering the Long
Island Hospital of Brooklyn he was
graduated in 1866 and one year
later entered upon his chosen pro-
fession in Danville. He was sue
cessful from the start and for many
years while in the prime of physi-
cal manhood he had large prac-
tice. He had served two terms as
Chief Burgess of Danville and at
the time of his death was serving
his third term as Associate Judge
of Montour comfy. His wife and
two daughters survive him. The
funeral was held on Tuesday after
noon.

HALL0W ZEN

The proper observance of Hal
lowe'en is commendable, and the
custom is very old one. OF late
years, however, the occasion has
been made an excuse by young
people especially for all sorts of
malicious mischief. Young folks
like to have a good time, and ought
to be encouraged i'll it within pro-
per limits, but when the thing is
carried to excess the only way to
prevent abuse is to stop it altogeth-
er. On Monday night crowds Of
youngsters went about the streets
with chalk, marking clothing and
defacing buildings, signs and fenc-
es. Several buildings just newly
painted were subjected to this.
Such conduct is malicious mischief
just as much on Halloween as on
any other day in the year. and the
perpetrators can be prosecuted for
it.
Carrying away gates, chairs,
mats, or any other property from
residences, is stealing, and can be
dealt with the same as any other
theft. There is no law that gives
special license to steal or injure
property on Halloween, and here
after the authorities should give
notice that such things will not be
tolerated.
On Tuesday night a large num-
ber of masqueraders made things
lively OH Main street. Some of the
costumes were very grotesque and
the participants had good time.
AT the Normal Hallowe' en- par
ty was given by the Y. w. c. A..
of the school, and about 400 STU
dents took part. The party was
given in the gymnasium which was
beautifully decorated.

At the Biiou.

A girl fuffily dressed danced her way across the stage at the Bijou theatre last night and sung a song that made d hit. It was not the quality of the voice that appealed to the audience assembled to German comedians which has become known all over the United States because of their ability to make people laugh but a little coup dtheatre that brought forth plaudits from pit to dome. The person making the master stroke was Belle Darl- ing, a petite soubrette, who has probably won more renown as a dancer than as a singer, although her voice blended we'll with the chorus which assisted her in rendering Keep a Little Cozy Corner in Your Heart for Me" While she smiled and bowed to the audience, with a bevy of pretty chorus girls in the background, she distributed little red hearts to people in the audience and the effect was in- stantaneous. The chorus had to be re- peated half a dozen times.
 Miss Darling was only one of a number of principals in Fritz and Snitz' who had an opportunity to secure a triumph and did not let the chance go by. Mason and Mason, of course, are the stars in the respective roles named in the title, and the plot Is woven about them, if 1t is nec- essary to say there was a plot. They have a store of new jokes and songs, and a few old ones just to remind the audience of by-gone days when thex were here before. Besides Mason and Mason and Miss Darling the other prin- cpals are we'll up to the standard. Mar garet Burnham. as a music hall artist might leave a deeper impression if she were given more to do, and the same might be said of Fanny Dudley, the real aristocratic widow Jack VanEpps, as the inventor, handled his part well. He Is a southern boy and has many friends in Birmingham. Probably the most striking things was the well-rounded well-driled chorus. Although not very large, every member evidently has a good voice. The volume was unusual for a musical comedy chorus.
 The scenery was apropos and the cos- tunes had the ear-mark of newness

 Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria.

Paris October 16.-Signiicance is at- tached to the notable reception accorded to Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, who has arrived here for weeks visit. The prince was received with military honors, similar to those accorded to members of royal families, and was escorted to the same quarters that King Victor Emman- uel and King Alfonso occupied at the foreign office. and President Loubet and Prince Ferdinand exchanged the visits of chiefs of states. These distinguished honors indicate the interest France takes in pacific settlement of the Balkan question, in which Bulgaria plays an im- portant role
 The seml-official Temps this evening urges that France, not having territor- ial ambitions, occupies the best position to exert a preponderant influence to the adjustment of the Balkan problem. thus gaining the commercial and political friendship of the Balkan states.

At the Jefferson theatre last night Lotus James gave a performance of "Virginus
 ill line with the classic traditions or the stage and worthy of the fine old play. His revival of this masterpiece Is both timely and acceptable, coming at period when it is good now and then to pause in the rush after frivolous amusement to consider a play that upholds the best in hstrionic art and has been graced in it's day by tragedians of lasting fame.
 MT. James as Virginius gave the virile' finished performance which was expected of hiln, and was seen to advantage in role for which he is admirably qualif1ed. His commanding presence, powerful voice and forceful acting aided in producing Vlrginus winch brought no discredit on the distIns uished names which have been associated with the role in the past. Mr. James aci ieved his climaxes with the success that has always marked his ef- forts. Reused to the defense of Virginia, when defyIns Appius Claudius, confront ing the deceiver in prison, and in those softer passages where fatherly affection dissipated the passions which shook his frame, MT. James was singularly effect i've. In his transitions from the frenzy of despair to an equal degree of hopeless ness, intense but repressed, he was nat ural and convincing. MT. James power as a lragedian were never more convin,- ingly displayed than in the role of Vir- ginius. where his ideas of art apply un- usually well.
 'ke support given MT. James last night was Of uniform excellence. Norman Hack ett by face and form Is well suited to the role of Icili,.s. He played the part with proper spirit and sympathy. James A. Young, as the licentious, crafty and un- scrupulous Appius, was good, and Charles Stedman as Dentatus was convincing. Miss Aphie James gave a sympathetic in terpf citation of the role of Virginia.
