A motley crowd of over 300 gayly dressed people are swarming along the banks of the lake engaged in the annual sports and festivities in honor of the Goddess Isis. During the very hight of the carnival, with not a moment's warning, the earth quakes, the dread mountain vomits forth awful sheets of flame and clouds of smoke, and the terrified people, screaming and shouting for aid, rush hither and thither in wild confusion, amidst the flashes of lightning and the glow from the blazing lava, which is thrown upon the doomed city. incidentally, among other some marvelous acrobatic and athletic exercises and combats are introduced, Mr. Pain promising to spend a thousand dollars nightly. Half rate tickets will be issued by all railroads leading to Scranton, and the admission will be at the nominal sum of twenty five cents.

The people residing near there are now becoming alarmed at the number of fires occurring in that vicinity and expressed much dissatisfaction at the action of the boys yesterday morning. j.ney ciaim tnat tney are living in a continual state of fear, as thev think that any vacant building near there is apt to be set on fire at any time.

Sold the Goods to Foreigners on the South Side Flats for a Few Cents. A Small Cartload of Articles Recovered by the Police. The police yesterday captured four boys who have for almost two weeks been successfully carrying on a series of robberies from stores on Lackawanna avenue. The articles covered a range of objects, useful ad ornamental. As a result of complaints received by Chief Simpson from Mr.

John H. Ladwig, proprietor of the Four Cent store, Officer Feeney was assigned to maintain a watch over the rear of the store. Having concealed himself, tha officer observed a youth named John Bicoskie, aged 12, entering the store. He gave chase after Bicoskie, who ran into the cellar, and was captured by the officer. Bicoskie was arraigned before Alderman Miller yesterday morning, and as a result of cross examination, he gave a history of the robberies.

He admitted that some of the goods were in the cellar of his home, and Captain Edwards detailed Officers Dyer and Feeney to accompany the ooy to his home on South Washington avenue, where they found two pair3 of boots, a number of knives and forks and numerous other articles. The boy mentioned the names of other boys who were implicated in the burglaries and it was further ascertained that a small cartload of goods had been sold to various persons residing on the Flats. Among those with whom stolen goods were found are the following: Anna Cysmadox, South Washington avenue, one blanket. John Boray, Washington avenue, two blankets and one box of knives. Mike Kelly, rear of River street, four boxes of knives and forks and two bread knives.

Carto Iaguski, Washington avenue, one blanket, six knives and forks and eight shears. Eva Barnock, three knives and three forks. John Smalanio, three knives and three forks. All these articles, in addition to those found in the houses of the boys, were confiscated by the police. Mr.

Finley, of Lackawanna avenue, identified blankets valued at S5.75 as his prop ertv, and Mr. Ladwig identified some scissors and table cutlery, which had been stolen from his store, to the amount of $25. Although the boys are youn? in years, they are experienced in the method of pilfering. In explaining the manner in which the blankets were abstracted one of the juvenile burglars explained that thev used a long poie, in wnicn they had driven a strong nail, by means of which they fished up some of the goods through the windows they had broken. Having secured the articles thev traveled among the foreigners residing on the Flats, where they sold the proceeds of their thefts for ab surdlv low amounts, in no case receiv ing more than 25 cents for any one article.

August Pehultz, a youth 1 1 years of age was arrested upon the information obtained by the officers, and evidence was secured proving that he was looked uron as a leader by the other juvenile robbers. The bovs will be given a hearing before Alderman Millar at the Municipal building this morning. SOUTrTsiDE. The attendance at the Sehivera meeting last evening was exceptionally large. Mr.
