" O. T. Davis. BEF.CHAM'H PILLS cure Sick Headache. JOHN T. WATKINS RETURNS HOME Given a Royal Welcome by Ills Drolbcr Elks Upon Ills Arrival. HIS MANY VICTORIES IN LONDON Won Prizes in tho Hoynl Acndcmy ot Music---IlngnKcmcnts Thnt He rilled Vt lillo Abrond.-Anibltlous to I'it Himself for u Plucu Among tho Crnnd Opera Singcrs--IIo May Bo Heard in This Vicinity in a Scries of Concerts. John T. Wntklns, heavy with honors won at the Royal Academy of Music, London, returned to Scranton Saturday night, and his return was celebrated with a hearty reception given under the direction of his brothers, the Elks, and a multitude of friends'. Mr. Watklns nrrlvcd at 9.30 o'clock on a Delaware, Lackawanna and Wes tern train. For nearly nn hour pre- vlous to that time a good crowd had assembled In nnd about the station, and though the train was thirty min utes behind scheduled time, the wait ing friends were determined to greet tho popular Mr. AVatklns, and they did. The Elks assembled at their rooms. There each man was supplied with tho lights that colored the town red. A canlage preceded the body of thir ty Elks as they marched to the station to the music of Bauer's band. A great crowd had assembled, testifying to the well known fact of Mr. Watklns' pop ulailty, although only a few news paper notices heralded his coming. During the wait Bauer's band played. MR. WATKINS ARRIVES. When the train drew Into the station a hearty shout went up, and when Mr. Watklns stepped to the platform he was the center of a rushing hand shaking contest. Mr. Watklns was finally escorted to the carriage through the dense mass of friends. He was accompanied by Mrs. 'Watklns and his brother, James Watklns, burgess of Taylor. The latter, with Exalted Ruler Fred Grambs, of the Blimlng liam, Ala., lodge, sat with Mr. Wat klns In the carrlnge. Bauer's "band played the lovable "Auld Lorg Syne," during this prelim inary proceedings. The parade began, the band leading the marchers up Lackawanna avenue to Wyoming, to Spruce.to Washington, to Lackawanna to Franklin, to tho Elk's rooms. Here another crowd greeted Mr. Watklns. An Informal reception was given In the rooms. Las.t evening a Tribune re porter found Mr. Watklns at tho home of Burgess Watklns, his brother, on Main stieet, Taylor. In this place Mr. Wafltklns Is known to apparently everybody, owing to his long residence there. Ho was the center of a group of glad acquaintances. He told In a modest wav of his suc cess at the Royal academy. He enter ed the school In the summer term of ")5-'9C During his first year Mr. Wat klns made progress which, with his usual talent as an elocutionist nnd rich baritone voice, caused almost Im mediate recognition. At the end of the term ho was awarded tho "Bronze" prize, the highest honor possible. This was won In a competition with twenty ono students from all parts of the wmld. Tho contest was In singing and In elocution. THE CONTEST PIECES. Mr. Watklns s-ang the "florid" reci tative and niia, "The Lord Worketh Wonders," fiom Handel's "Judas Mac cabeas." Another selection was the "sustained," "O Tu Pateio," from Ver dls' Sicilian vespers. The prize was given for quality of voice, Intensity of expression and general artistic finish. The college professors weio the judges. The second trial was on recitation. Mr. Watklns recited , "How They Brought the Good News rrom Shent," Browning's famous dash-and-vlgor piece. To a small circle of friends last evening Mr. Watklns leclted tho piece with a leally astonishing evi dence of power. His dramatic ability has never been fully appreciated here abouts. Tho three succeeding terms at the school were fraught with equal honor. Mr. AVatklns played tho leading char acter of "Jacques" In a peiformance of "As You Like It;" the "Friar" In Romeo and Juliet, and the Duke Ar anza in "Tobeys' Honeymoon," all of which wero given befoie select audi ences. Ian Robertson, brother of tho actor, Floyd Robertson, was Mr. Wat klns' teacher In elocution. Mr. Watklns also sang a part In "Chand't D'Hablt," a pantomlno pro duction at Beerbohn Trees' theatre, in which a famous French )antomIne artist took tho leading character. Mr. Watklns was offered a speaking part In tho forthcoming production of Gilbert & Sullivan's piece. While ho was In London Mr. Watklns was engaged as bass soloist at tho Farm Street Catholic church, tho most nrls tocratlc church In London. These are a few Instances of a quick succession of victories. HIS AMBITION. Mr. Watklns' presence In Scranton at this time Is not due to IiIb having completed his Btudlos in London. The truth, regretablo to say, Is that he was unable to continue owing to lack of funds. His ambition Is great; he wishes to sing In grand opera, and for this he Is fitting himself. Tho utfortunate circumstances, however, compels Mr, Watklns to stop In the be ginning of a career that would un doubtedly be an honor to Scranton. He will probably come before tho pub lic durlntr tho next few months in a series of concerts. It Is possible that Mr. Watklns and Miss Kaiser, tho Wllkes-Barro singer, will Join forces and tour this part of the stute. Mr. Watklns Is still a young man, 35 years of age, and he earnestly de Jill 1 ffl I1 J1 JOHN T. WATKINS. serves to achieve his ambition to slnff In grand opera. MEETINQ OF THE ORAND CASTLE.

IT WAS AN EMBALMING FLUID Hnd licen Left by Undertaker Swee ney Under n Collin Which Contained tho Remains ot tho Child's Uncle. Coroner Lougstrcct Holds nil Au topsy and Proposes to Ascertain to Whose Negligence tho Death of the Little Ono Is Due. Edward Adam Yoppr, a 17-months'-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Yoppe, of Thrpop, swallowed a halt pint of embalming fluid Saturday night at 5.30 o'clock and two hours afterward the child died from the effects of the poi son. Saturday morning Undertaker Swee ney, of Olyphant, was called to take charge of tho dead body of an uncle of tho child who died In tho Yoppe nouso nt 7.30 o'clock that morning. This uncle had suffered for many months past from a wasting disease. When ho died It was found necessary to cm balm the body and Undertaker Swee ney was called In. After the embalming, according to tho custom of undertakers, a cup filled with n mixture of bichloride of mer cury and arsenic was left In the house with Instructions to the friends to re fresh tho cloth on the dead man's face at Intervals with the fluid. Tho cup was placed by Undertaker Sweeney upon tho floor under the stand on which tho corpse lay. Tho Yoppe people were too much en gaged with their sorrows to think of ordinary precaution. PLAYING ABOUT THE CORPSE. At 5.30 o'clock that afternoon the lit tle Yoppe boy was In the room where the corpse was and in playing about on the floor he came across the cup. The contents ho drank, probably thinking the white liquid milk or some other delectable. The child was found by his father on the floor writhing in terrible agony. Dr. Jacobs was sent for and part of the poison was) removed from the child's stomach but tho dose had been too great and death occurred. Coroner Longstreet was Informed of tho death arid yesterday morning he performed an autopsy on the dead child. The stomach and other organs showed plainly the coiosive effect of poison. Tho stomach was taken charge of by Coroner Longstreet for a moie careful analysis. The Jurors selected are: Patrick Cos grove. James Frable, George W. Evans, Stephen McDonald, Martin J. Gallagher and Patrick Cusick. They will meet Thursday night at Coroner Longstreet's office whero testimony will be heard. Coroner Lonsstreet stated to a Tri bune repoit'r last night that In his opinion someone has been criminally careless. From the evidence he obtain ed from the father of the dead child he thinks that Undertaker Sweeney Is, Indirectly at least, responsible for the unfortunate death. LOCAL BAKERS' UNION.
