That i.s a broad expression. But, however, it was quite up to the reputation earned through Metropolitan successes. Musically, and in spectacular effects It i.s up to the very refreshing degree. The moon scene, and the girl floating over the audience in a balloon were immense stunts and well worth the price of admission, without much else. The costuming, dancing, etc.. were also of the high type and in harmony with the excellence that characterized the music. • The Alfred E.

They heard the approach of the train, and all managed to get out of harm's way except Oerella. Whether he was still on the car or fell from it to the tracks is not known. The train passed over his body, horribly mangling it and killing him instantly. The remains were placed in the caboose, brought to this place and given in charge of A. C. Robinson and Son, undcrtakeres. The train was running at a fair rate of speed, and in the dense fog Engineer Redding could see but a few yards ahead of him.

The workmen are now engaged in laying a cement base for the floor of th< main building The cement will be covered with matched maple flooring.The brick walls for the main building are ready for the second story, and the section that will house the engines, boilers, vaults, etc., is being put under roof. The latter apartment is 40x40, two stories high, and will be covered with a cement roof. The vault i.s J 4 feet s<|uar> .

The Injured boy was in the court room, but his physicians thought it inexpedient to allow him to go upon the witness stand in his present condition, and the case was therefore continued. Harrison Mumford was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000, and Alvy Siar in the sum of $500, and upon the signing of the papers were released from custody of Sheriff Gal- One case which was expected to be of great interest at this term of court was the Commonwealth vs. Harrison Mumford and Alory Star, of Brookvifle, charged with asasult with intent to kill. The victim was Jay Cowa.il, who, after the assault, lay in the Punxsutawney Hospital in a critical condition for several days. After several weeks the boy was taken to his home in Rrookville, but still not entirely, recovered from the effects of a terrible blow on the head. "Well, Judge, a fellow can't swim When his hands are tied!" Jones must not only pay the freight, so to speak, but has a maximum term of 30 years in the pen to serve. When the court, perfunctorily, asked Jones if he had anything to say Why sentence should pot be passed, the prisoner replied: On the first count of the indictment, Jones was sentenced to pay the costs, $1,000 fine and serve not less than 6, or more than 24, years in the Western* Penitentiary. On the second count, larceny, he was sentenced to pay the costs, p-ay a fine of $300, return the property, and serve not less than I 1-2 years, or more than 6 years in the pen.- Jones, it will be remembered, entered the home of J. B. Whalen, near Brookvllle, and carried off about everything In sight that was loose, anil fitted himself up a bungalow In the forest with the goods. Later he appeared at the Brookvllle Pair, urrayed in a black suit which he had stolen, whereupon he was pinched. One of the most interesting cases during the term was that of the Commonwealth vs. J. B. Jones, who was charged with breaking and entering a dwelling, larceny and receiving stolen goods. Judge Wilson, of Clarion, who presided on account of Judge Reed's enforced absence, made a splendid impression in the mutter of rulings and general conduct of the court, and Jesse C. Long, the new district attorney, was warmly congratulated on all sides for the thoroughness and dispatch in -handling the cases. The November term of Criminal Court came to a close yesterday evening at six o'clock, some 80 odd cases having been dosposed of since Monday at 1:30 o'clock. II. v.

He was compelled to ben mercy from the mob and announced in a loud voice that Salzener should be lynched, after which he was driven from the mob and all attention was The mob found some difficulty in breaking tin- cage in which Ralzcnnr w;us confined, as it was an entirely steel structure, but after a half hour of telling blow.s upon th» door it gave way and Sal/.eiier was secured. The mob rushed him out of th- back door of the jail, which is in the basement of the ourt House, around the building, through the yard and out into Washington Avenue and up to Twenty-tirst Street, which is a prominent corner, and has a public square. Ho cried and b> gged plteously for his life and was met by cries an I blows from the mob. The mob became furious at this and it was hard work to keep them oflf Sal/.em r long enough to give him a chance to pray. The mob tinally subsided and a short religious service was held, after which he was strung up, the lope being placed over a telegraph pole at Twenty-first and Washington stre«. ts.

This? lynching followed closely the lynching Ing of Will James, a negro, who earlier in the evening had been hanged, shot and burned for the murder of Miss Annie iVlley. The story of Cairo's double lynching is most extraordinary. 1 The troops arrived early this morning with orders from Governor Denecn to patrol all the streets. No further trouble is expected. CAIRO, HI. Nov. 12.—Following three days of mob rule and the lynching of two men last night, Cairo is today under martial law. The "tips" which wealthy patrons of the restaurant gave to Thiclman, who finally became the head of the establishment, are sa'id to have been responsible for a large part of Thielman's wealth.

The clogs were so thiek that he did not dare to shoot at a rabbit for fear of wounding a canine, so lie returned home, and went to work on his dog kennel, which Ls to be transformed into a chicken coon. Before Lorenzo was out of sight, however, the rabbit cam.e t«» the surface and took the back track, alive, but limping on three legs*. While out hunting near Ollveburg •day before yesterday, Charles Lorenzo wounded a rabbit as it was in the act of jumping over ;i pool of water, said to be about six feet across, and some 14 inches in depth. Runny, instead of landing safely on the opposite side, tumbled into the water. An idea struck the rabbit shortly after the rabbit struck* the water, so he went under and remained there. The hunter, having lost track of the rabbit on account of th«i smoke, forded the run ami bolted into the woods beyond, thinking that Rr'er Ilabbit had cleared the pool and was off for the tali and uncut. Two of the knives were given out today, one each to the retailers of the following brace of stories.

When the Butler local, Chitister engineer and McMan conductor, rounded the curve into the cut just below Hamilton yesterday at a fair rate of speed, the engineer sighted the work train which was standing in the cut, too late, however, to avoid a collision, and as a result three flat cars on the work train were demolished.

A1 NVuy, manager of the Avenue Theatre, this morning called up the Spirit office to extoll the merits of "A Broken Idol," which appeared last night at DuBols, and which will hold the boards at the Jefferson Theatre tonight. According to Mr. Way the comedy Is great, the music bright and catchy, the chorus work of the finest kind, and the scenic effects raagniflcent. Altogether the show Is, according to the DuBols manager, the best musical comedy that has appeared at DuBois this year, and one of the best that ever appeared In that theatre. Those who miss tonight's performance will in all probability regret It.

(Continued on page three.* In the last month, butter avenaged a rise of 4 cents, and is jumping up at the average rate of one cent a week. A gloomy outlook is before the small boy and his little sister who already are conjuring up visions of Thanksgiving parties and pudding* in which eggs play the le-ading role.' ICggs are even scarcer than turkeys. One dealer likened handling eggs to handling gold dollars at their present rate of 40 cent*. Fortunately fish does no! in- Ohickens are plentiful in local markets as well as ducks. Thanksgiving prices for chickens and ducks will be from IS to 20 cents a pound dressed. Rabbits alt-o are plentiful and comparatively cheap. If the weather is cold, 50 cents a pair will be the probable price, and in any event dealers do not expect theni to reach a higher 'mark than 60 cents a pair. Turkey eaters this year will be asked to pay 3 cents more a. pound than lust season, and 25 cents for live weight and from 28 to 30 cents dressed will be the prices asked. A statistician, whose Thanksgiving supplies dope covers this section, has the following to say in regard to the prices that will prevail during the next I two weeks.
