The victim was a Polander, nnd he bore signs of having been given a bad beating. He was Anthony Plutsavage, of Port Griffith, and, according to his tale, he went yesterday to spend Christmas in Exeter with friends. He came up [on one of the last West Side cars and 'started down Luzerne avenue for the, lower bridge. He had just about stepped on the bridge when two men sprang on him, knocking him down. They then kicked him in brutal fashion and searched his pockets. In one of them they found $15 which they took. When they left their victim they stayed on the West Side. Plutsavage hurried to Main street and looked up an officer. He told his story to Policeman Linnen about J 2:30, but the latter was unable to do anything for him as the highwaymen had not come toward this city.

A daring attempt was made last night about 9 o'clock to blow up the house In Jenkins alley, occupied by Joseph and Charles Rizal, brothers,- respectable Italians. Despite the fact that enough dynamite was used to make the report audible for many blocks, the building was but slightly damaged. What could have led any person to attempt to destroy the property and endanger the lives of the occupants none of the Rizzi family nor their friends know. They awoke her before her customary time for rising and went with her to the drawing room, where stood the beautiful tree.

The play was the Christmas attraction At the Lyceum, Scranton, and the Republican this morning sp6ke of it as follaws: "It was Just as true of the evening performance as it was of the matinee that there was not a vacant seat and many were standing. Late tn the day at the box office there was a great clamor for seats. The company was an excellent one and laughter was constant from the rise to the fall of the curtain. The tuneful nctuslc of this production is too well known here to require more than passing mention. The part of Bompoka fell to Sam Mylle and Miss Leslie Leigh was the Teresa of the production.

The victim was a Polander, nnd he bore signs of having been given a bad beating. He was Anthony Plutsavage, of Port Griffith, and, according to his tale, he went yesterday to spend Christmas in Exeter with friends. He came up [on one of the last West Side cars and 'started down Luzerne avenue for the, lower bridge. He had just about stepped on the bridge when two men sprang on him, knocking him down. They then kicked him in brutal fashion and searched his pockets. In one of them they found $15 which they took. When they left their victim they stayed on the West Side. Plutsavage hurried to Main street and looked up an officer. He told his story to Policeman Linnen about J 2:30, but the latter was unable to do anything for him as the highwaymen had not come toward this city.

Despite the fact that enough dynamite was used to make the report audible for many blocks, the building was but slightly damaged. What could have led any person to attempt to destroy the property and endanger the lives of the occupants none of the Rizzi family nor their friends know.
