A Spicy--Cross'Bill That Slakes Very Inter esting' Iieadin g. AX OFFER TO REIMBURSE BENNETT The celebrated Library Hall case is once more brought prominently to the front by the filing of a very tart cross bill yesterday by D. T. "VYatBon and A. 31. Xeepcr, attor neys for the plaint ills, in Common Pleas Court. The document is quite lengthy, and sets forth a complete lu.o.y of the Pittsburg Library Association smd the Mercantile Library Hall Company. It contains many charges against the defendants, or a part of them, which the public will find interesting reading. The title of the case is the Pittsburg Library Association, and T. Brent Swearin gen, James F. Hudson, Joseph Albree, and "William Thompson, plaintiffs, versus the Mercantile Library Hall Company, Josenh Home. Durbin Home. T. Bernard'J Shea and Albert P.

The main points contained in the cross bill of the plaintiffs, after getting forth the relations of the Library Association to the Library Hall Company and the lawfnl powers of each under their charters, are as lollows: "That subsequent to the first of July and prior to the first of December, 1SS!), the mortgage indebtedness ot said Library Hall Company consisted of three mortgages, as follows: Fir, a mortgage to the Shields' estate for 530,000, given to secure a balance of purchase money unpaid for the ground uptn which the librarv building is erected; second, a mortgage given to the Soldiers' Sanitarv Home, subsequently assigned to the Western Pennsylvania Hospital, for S100.000, dated June" 28, 1869, and, third, a mortgage to "William Frew, et al., trustees, dated April 1, lb71, for the sum of ?30,000, irjion which a writ of scire facias t as issued, and judgment recovered in the amount of j,S4G VX "That at the time of the recovery of said Judmnint 'here was in the treasury of said Mercantile Library Hall Company funds applicable to the payment of the claim un der ani mortgage, under said agreement of March 10. 1871, to the extent ol some ?16, W0. Upon said judgment an execution was issued, and the property of the Hall Com pany was advertised to be sold at Sheriffs mIc, and your orators, at the first sale in hwptember, lbS'J, caused notice to be given ! r the protection of the interests of thf wM-kholders of said Mercantile Library H all Compan j and the interests ot your orators, the Library Association, where upon the writ was stayed, and at a subse quent term of eourt of 1&89, the property was again put up at Sheriff's sale. The rep Tevntatives of jour orators again being present, tne same was withdrawn. THE MOltTOAGE DEBT REl'UXDKD. "That on June 2J, 1890, the said Mer cantile Library Hall Compauv, by the tflorts of some of itb members, who are al-o members of the Pittsburg Library Asso ciation, refunded the mortgage indebted ness ot said Mercantile Library Hall Com pany, and issued a mortgage theretor, pro viding for the payment ot the mortgage of the West Peim Hospital and to William Fron, ct al., in "0 years from the date thereof, and made an arrangement whereby the first mortgase, or bhields' estate mort gage abo e referred to, was to be paid in annual installments of $5,000 each, which Bgreemeut is not now iu possession of your orators. "That on the 31st day of March, 1891, the managers of the Library Hull Company, iu violation of their agreements and trusts, re fused to pay the interest coupons maturing on that day, and pa able at the office of eaid Union Transfer "and Trust Company, although at that time there was more than ample lunds in their hands wherewith to pa; the same, which accrued irom the rents and revenues of said trust property, to wit, the sum of 514,000, and have averred it is their intention m the iuture not to pay any interest maturing on the bonds secured bv t-aid mortgage, and j our orator avers, with the intent to cau-e a default under said mortgage and jeopardize the property held in trust lor your orator. "That on the 3d day of January, 1891, the managers of the Library Hall Company made an agreement with vour orator per petually len.inj said grounds and building to it upon certain terms therein contained. Apiap others, an agreement bv the Library Hail Company to pay the first 50,000 in stallment maturing on the Shields' estate mortgage above mentioned. At the same time the leases existing between the Mer cantile Library Hall Company and thcother defendants in this cros"-Jbill were assigned to your orator. Under the terms of said consolidated mortgage the whole mortgage debt matures, and process may be issued to collect the same it any installment of interest remains unpaid for. On April 1, 111. a f-emi-annml installment of interest amounting to 53,7.V matured, which is now overdue and unpaid. l'.ENTS SAID TO BK DUE. "To meet this the Library Association has no funds whatever, but the Library Hall Company has in its treasury, collected from rents of said trust property, the sum of up ward of 514,000, which can, and should be, applied to such payment. Yet the said Li brary Hall Conipanv, whose action in this respect is controlled by, and in the interest of, the said H. M. Bennett, one of the de fendants and principal lessee of the theater in said trust property, refuses to so apply said moneys, or any part thereof, and thus in disregard of its duty said Library Hall Company, by its action, threatens and im perils the entire trust property. "In addition to this, the said Library Hall Company, b j notice served and by the pending ot the bill in equity filed by it, clso prevents 'he collection "of rents now due to the Librarv Association from said trust propem, which, if paid, would be ample lor the purpose of paying said in stallment of interest now due. There is now due and unpaid rent from said trust property as lollows: "From Jos. Home & Co., two quarters at $13,500 per annum $7,725 Trom It. JL Gulick A; Co., two quarters at 7.500 per annum 3,750 "From the Syria Temple, two quaitcrs at il,0(tt per annum 500 $11,375 coNrnMri,ATr.r fraud Ai.T.rGr.n. "Your orator avers, in taking the per petual lea'-e above mentioned, it w.xj carry ing out the true intent and purpose of the incorporation of the Mercantile Library Hall Company, trustee of your orator, and in such rr.annerthat it would prevent a pro posed fraud upon the rights of your orator, which aa then contemplated by said II. M. Bennett and others, ana by the term of the agreement of the perpetual lease the stock holders in the Library Hall Company re ceu'ed an adequate and equitable return upon their in cstment. "The stock of said Hall Company was sub scribed and paid pome 30 years since, has never had any market value, never pa:d a dividend, and" for many years has practi cally been regarded by the holders of it, not as an investment, but as a contribution in the intciests of j our orator. The charter of the Hall Company rae notice to its stock holders of the fact that said Hall Company was to be manaced in the interest of your orator, whose trustee it is, and not as a pri vate enterprise. In the years 1889 and 1800 many of the stockholders of the Library Hall Company had averred their intention of transferring their stock therein to your orator, and some of them had alreadv done so. As before shown, said stock had no value, and for years the highest price paid for it was 50 cents a share. In December, 1890, your orator was informed that certain partie's, officers and stockholders of the said Hall Company, and others, were purchasing said stock at $5 per share. BOUGHT FOB TIIE BIJOU THEATER. "Upon inquiryjandinvestigation it was! learned, and after said parties had obtained a controlling interest in said stock, they admitted they were making said purchases in the interests of H. M. Bennett, one of the partners of B. 3L Gulick & Company, one of the defendants herein, and one of the proprietors of the Bijou Theater, which oc cupies a part of the Library property, that their intention was to purchase a little oter one-half of the stock of the Hall Company, so that its management could be controlled with respect to the Library property, so as to not only extend K. M. Guhck's lease, which expires shortly, on favorable terms, but give said firm additional room in the building, and make, at the expense of the Hall Company, certain expensive changes and repairs on their behalf. Said parties also stated that they only intended to get sufficient of said stock to control said Hall Company, and that when such major portion of said stock had been obtained, the re mainder would be practically woithlcss. TRANSrEBS OF STOCK OBTAINED. "Your orator lurther shows that said officers and managers of the Library Hall Comnanv. in the vear 1889. and ur until shortly before the 1st of January, 1891, com bining with said H. M Bennett, and by using the information gained from their official connection with the Library Hall Compan v, as well as their official position, obtained, upon misrepresentations, a trans fer of a majority of the stock in the Mer cantile Library Hall Company to them selves aud said H, M. Bennett, for the pur pose of preventing the carrying out of the object for which the Mercantile Company was incorporated, and in disregard and in violation of the terms of the agreement ex isting between the Mercantile Library Hall Company and your orator, dated March 10, 1871, and the rights granted to them by their respective charters, and for the further purpose ot their own individual and private gain. That in procuring the transfer above mentioned to themselves, and for the bene fit of themselves and H. M. Bennett, it was represented that the same was being pro cured for the use, benefit and advancement of the interests of your orator. ME. BEXSETT OS TOP SOW. "Your orator avers that the said majority of stock in said Library Hall Company is held in the interest of said H. M. Bennett, above named; that a sufficisftPnumber of shares of the same is held forhim without consideration as an expedient and for his benefit by members of the present Board of Managers of the Library Hall Company, so that the control of a majority of said board is under the direction of said H. M Ben nett; that the original bill in this case was filed solely in his interests without regard to the rights of jour orator or the Hall Com pany, its trustee, and with the object, through said Board of Managers, to use the rights and propertyof your orator and oftho Hail Company wrongfully and illegally; that your orator now stands ready to repay said officers and H. M. Bennett the price which they paid for the stock so purchased, and now tenders the same, with interest thereon from the date of said purchases, so that said officers and said Bennett may be fully reimbursed for any outlay which they may have made on this behalf. " That unless immediate relief be granted unto vour ora tor the entire trust property will be not only imperriled but the mortgages will be foreclosed aud it will be actually sold. A EECEIVEE NOW ASKED FOE. "Wherefore, your orator needs equitably relief and prays: First That a receiver be appointed to manage the property known as the Mercantile Library Hall, described iu the original bill filed in this case, and mentioned herein, and apply the revenues thereof in accordance with the rights of your orator and said Hall Company, and es pecially that said receiver be lorthwith or dered to collect all outstauding rents non due from and all moneys arising from rents of said trust property'and under order of this Court properly apply the same. "Second To enjoiu the baid Hall Company from disposing of the funds now in its treasury in any other manner than provided by the several agreements existing between said Hall Company and your orator. 'Third To enjoin said Hall Company, its managers and stockholders, from divert ing said librarv property from the uses and purposes to which the same was dedicated by the acts incorporating said companies, and the agreements existing between them. "Fourth To direct the transfer of the stock in the Mercantile Library Hall Com pany, now held by certain managers and H. M. Bennett, to your orator upon pay ment to them of the cost thereof; with in terest from the date of its purchase, and restrain such persons from in any way dis posing of said stock, and to declare them to be trustees of your orator, and to hold said stock lor its benefit, to be transferred to it on the payment of the cost thereof as above set forth.

TO BECOVEE MONEYS EXPENDED. "It. IV. Bell, the Veteran Soldier at Time In Dlxmont, Sues for Ills Property. Eobert "W. Bell yesterday entered suit against Charles L. Mclntyre, administrator of Henry "Williams, deceased, to recover 2,000 on a bond. Bell is the old soldier who was confined for a time in Dlxmont, but escaped and was afterward adjudged sane. He states that in 1881 he was ad judged a lunatic Selina M. Itowe took charge of his person and estate. She was directed to give bond in the sum of ?2,000 and Henry Williams became her surety. In May, 1890, she filed an account show ing that "she had collected $4,316 20 belong ing to Bell, but had expended all of it. Exceptions to the account were filed and L. L. Davis appointed auditor. He found that she owed Bell 52,007 20 and she was ordered to pay that amount. She has since paid on account S4G5, leaving due a balance of $2,202 20. The suit is now brought against the administrator of her bondsman to recover the full amount of the bond, $2, 000. On May 24, 1890, Bell was adjudged to be of sound mind and the appointment of a committee revoked. CAMGKArrr.

A COMFORTABLE DRIVING-COSTUME How a Wedding Can Be Arranged to Snit the Season. PKESEST AND COMING FASHION DINTS Pink and black" are the colors we are be coming thoroughly well used to seeing. On the shopping streets in the morning women are out in black tailor dresses with pink linen cuffs and collar. A black straw hat with pink roses or perhaps a pink holly hock at the belt adds the finish that is fash ionable, says a vriter in the Hew York Jiecorder. In the afternoon or at sunset, when the breeze tempts to slow promenades, black delaines come out, printed with pink flowers and a green leaf or two. Pink chiffon ties are worn at the throat, and one comes to expect the low-crowned sailor hat with a band of pink velvet about its wide brim. If any other headgear is substituted there is a sense of being defrauded, 2fobody can attribute a high order of beauty to the very stiff straight driving coats and outing garments we borrow- from England this summer. 'They are thor oughly correct," and with that we have to accept their ugly masculinity. The cape, figure of which "is given, is cut, as they would say" in the argot of fashion in use on the other side of the Atlantic, very smartly. It is a -double cape, supposed to be of pale fawn cloth, double-breasted and fastened with large buttons in mother of pearl. It has a strapped velvet collar and strapped seams.

On the pleasant Long Island roads and about Orange and above Tarrytown you meet women on good horses and with the good sense to modify the stiff, hard, neat style, any departure from which lias until lately been thought a high crime aud misdemeanor in a horse woman. If people must get married at the first of August, there are ingenious people who do their best to make the cerem ony comfortable. In Brooklyn not many days ago as pretty a wedding was arranged as if it had taken placejn Newport or at Lenox, or anywhere else where the world is supposed to "be rus ticating. Cool green and white matting covered the parlor floors, and green and white cretonne was the summer dress oftho furniture. Green vines of wild clematis, with their feathery white flowers, were trained about the mirrors and festooned against the muslin curtains. The fireplace was filled with rushes and cattails, from which started up the stalks of the wild carrot, with flat, white circles of blossom. Some pink hollyhocks in china jars gave delightful touches of color to the simple, home-like decorations. Six little girls were the bridemaids, and thev wore white organdie frocks, two with white and tw o with pink aud two with blue sashes. The bride, a tall and very lovely girl, wore a white silk dress cut in Empress style and absolutely without trimmings. At the throat and waist and fastening her tulle veil were clusters of white sweet peas. A pretty visiting toilet is figured in the accompanying illustration. It is of old rose faille finely striped with black and partially hidden with black Chantilly lace, beaded with jet. The yoke is made of cabochous, forming an opening through which the dress is visible. A frill of lace trims the neck, outlines the yoke A Waiting Ibilct. and is plaited at the waist. The capote is crown of flowers. Most of the new cotton dicsscs, it mav be said for the benefit of amateur dressmakers, have no foundation. There are usually six breadths, the three front ones straight and plain, those in the back gathered into as narrow a compass as possible AVhen there is a foundation it is used for the front breadths only. A long basque bodice is requisite, and tolerably full sleeves. Lace in deep flouncing widths is almost as much emnloved upon cottons as on more exnen- si ve materials. .The latest Parisian fashion of an elaborate ly trimmed foundation skirt of rich material owes its origin to the trained skirt, whicha as it must be lifted to avoid soiling, neces sitates that the skirt beneath thus exposed shall be presentable. Parisian modistes, who are alwavs ready to make the most of any pretext for increasing the cost of a gown, have seized the opportunity, and the founda tion skirt now is. generally a much more elaborate affair than the oer gown. In the first place, it is almost always made of silk, though the frugal young Princess Victoria, it is said, had many ot the gowns in her trousseau made up over a linen foundation. The silk is of light texture to avoid weight and is frequently of a different color from the outer gown, "but good taste demands that it be in a shade to harmonize. The outer and foundation skirts are made entirely separate, except at the waist, where the band unites them. At the foot the founda tion skirt has a lace or tulle flounce, often with further decorations of the satin ribbon. For black gowns bright, changeable silk foundation skirts are usually made. In millinery nothing new has been devel oped for this season's wear. The designs for autumn though are now to be seen. The prevailing shapes will be the small toque and capote. These will, of course, bemodi- Ji!f French Seaside Parade Costume. fled as the season advances, and new shapes will be introduced. The crowns are very low and small, and in some cases are ter raced, low Tam O'Shanter crowns are also among the newer shapes. Brims are fluted and crinkled.

Silver Jewelry is worn with gowns trimmed with silver galoon. Chahpaone, a yellow with pale golden lights, is a new Parisian color". Yellow shoes are now seen to wear with white and yellow seaside costumes. Round hats, toques and capotes trimmed with many wings are very fashionable in Paris. A chixtz muslin was very pretty with a ground between gray and lavender and now ered in pale blue. The flat Vassar sailor is the latest popular hati The trimming is usually of gauze draped, w ith an aigrette or white wing. Fashionable garnitures nro of gimp, pas sementerie, velvet and embroidery, wiillo set pieces and detachable ornaments' are also much worn. For evening wear black crepe with pro fuse trimmings of ribbon in light shades is much worn. These ribbons are usually ap plied lengthwise on both skirt and bodice, with shoulder knots. A striking; gown for evening wear Is of red creton cut princess, with full fronts lapped at the waist and opening over a draped plas tron of whito chiffon. Black silk embroid ered in led and gold forms a flaring collar, cuffs, shot t re vers and a long lapel follow ing the opening down tho left side. Plain materials will be much worn next season. For tailor gowns tine checks and stripes as well as laigo plaids, in subdued colors such as blue, tan and old rose will be worn. A Bedford cold with bouretto fig ures is novel as is broadcloth with bands of different colors or hair line stripes.

Attorney John D. "Watson yesterday took a watch out of a shop, where it had been left to be cleaned, that his grandfather, Dr. John Dickson, bought at Stevenson's store, in London, the day before the coronation of Queen Victoria, June 27, 1838, over 53 years ago. It is a gold hunting-cased watch, and is said to show no evidence of wear worth speaking of. At that time doing Europe on foot was quite the genteel thing, Bayard Taylor getting his impressions and making his reputation thereby. Dr. Dick son and a companion set out on the day alter tne coronation to waiK tnrough lireat Britain and Ireland. They were overtaken on their journey bv the queen and her retinue, as she was swinging around the circle among her subjects. The hedges were black in the country, and all the subjects of the Queen prostrated themselves while she passed. Dr. Dickson and his companion con tented themselves by saluting the cavalcade and the national colors, and their refusal to "genuflect" attracted the attention of some ot the officers of the military escort, who rode back and inquired of the doctor and his friend if they were not Americans. Being assured that such was the case, the officers invited the Americans to join their mess the following night. They did so, and were royally entertained. During the "War of the Rebellion Dr. Dickson, while on the volunteer surgical board, met with some of these English officers, who had come to this country To study our methods of fighting. It is scaice worth stating that the second meet in::, though somewhat tempered by age, was as heaity as the first, a quarter of a century earlier. " Sent to the Country.

MINISTERS ON SUMMER OUTINGS. j'Some of the Topics to Be Presented by and to Stay-at-Domes. GLEANINGS FROM CHURCn FIELDS The effect of the regular summer hegira is felt in the churches as well as at the places of commerce. Many of our leading minis ters are absent on their summer vacation, but churches are kept open and the stay at homes are permitted to enjoy the ministra tions of substitutes. Pittsburg preachers, as a rule, fare as well as any in the land. Congregations are as willing as preachers for a summer rest, and most of our churches are agreed that their pastors should have a summer outing. The hard-working minister who is privileged to spend a month or mora in the mountains or at the seashore will be able to do more and better work for the year than if he was kept in the harness for the twelve months.

The Fresh Air Fund Entertainment Given Lectures by Prof. John Piske and Miss Grace Dodge Annual Convention of the Beta Theta PI Society. TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.l CHAUTAtQUA, N". Y., Aug. 7. The principal features of to-day's programme were the lectures of Miss Grace Dodge, of K"ew York; Prof. John Fiske, of Harvard University, and the Bev. It. S. McArthur, of Iff ew York, and the big concert in the Amphitheater in the afternoon. The art- ictc wlin nnlr nfiH". wrp? Tnflnma Ttolla Cole, the prima donna; the Schumann Quartette, of New York; Hiss Annie Park, the cornetist; Mr. Sherwood, the pianist: Mr. Cheney, the violinist, and Miss Bertha "Watsinger, the INew York singer. The Chautauqua chorus of nearly 1,000 voices is now led by Dr. H. E. Palmer, of New York City, it is augmented by the big pipe organ, manipulated by Mr. Flag ler, the piano played by Mrs. Bussey, and Kogers'Band. When the combined bodv of. singers and musicians unite in full chorus, as they did this afternoon, the effect is something grand and magnificent. Dr. Palmer's new anthem, "Father, O Hear TJs," was sung for the first time here to day, and was received with rounds of ap plause. The music is inspiring and some of the solos are beautiful. Madame Cole sang "O Mio Fernando," and for an encore, "Home, Sweet Home." Miss Parks' ren dition of the cornet solo of "The jLost Chord," with organ accompaniment, was most charming and clever. The Beta Theta Pi "boys" are holding their annual convention at AVooglin, across the lake from here. Representatives are present from over 50 colleges and the at tendance is nearly UO. The Iraternity gave its annual hop last night and all the pretty girls along the lake turned out in honor of the event. The cooking school continues to attract the attention of new-comers, and it is understood that the Chautauqua manage ment is considering the desirability of building a large dining room here by next year. The Tribune fresh air fund entertainment came off to-night in the irymnasium. The programme was as follows: " "Variations in Volopuk," Chautauqua Rosebuds: violin solo, Mr. Cheney; reading, Miss Bishop; vocal solo, Madame Belle Cole; piano solo, Mr. Sherwood; selection, Meleopia Quartet; cornet solo, Miss Park; "The Fresh Air Fund" (address), Mr. F.

Mr. George says that Hotter is a miner. who boarded t ith hiiii. A few days ago he became insane, threatening everybody he came in contact with. Mr. George brought the unfortunate man to this city on Thursday afternoon, arriving at the Union station at 1:30 o'clock. He was bringing the man here for treatment at one ol" the hospitals. "While they were stand ing in the depot shed the Panhandle train which brought them in started back. "While it was moving Hotter jumped aboard and ii as carried up into the yard.

He be lieves that there is $10,000,000 coming to him in this city, and is probably roaming around hunting"for them. TRAVELS A I.OXG DISTANCE.

S OR- hue E :and: Written for The Pittsburg Dispatch -BY- EMMA V. SHERIDAN. This short serial story will com mence on SUNDAY, August 23, and will be completed in five in stallments. It is a story of theatrical life brilliant and engrossing in man ner truthfully descriptive in its treatment of incidents behind the scenes neither heightening nor de stroying the popular illusions, and possessing great excellence of plot and characterization. It is a clean and polite story, although it intro duces contrastingly good and bad personages, and embodies a realistic account of the actual experiences of actresses. Miss Sheridan is a writer of ability. She is a daughter of General George V. Sheridan, an accomplished actress and a beautiful young lady. Most of the literary matter put forth as from the pens of actresses is fraudulent, for it generally consists of their ideas formulated by professional writers. Miss Sheridan's work is wholly origi nal, and her published sketches, poems and stories have been highly successful. Nor does she write for the sake of exploiting herself as an actress. She contemplates no starring tour, and, as leading actress for three years of the Boston Museum's cele brated stock company, her own theat rical position before a cultured and fashionable public is already gained. She has written out of her personal observation in "Freda." Although the characters and incidents are not duplicates of real things, they are 'Sincere and accurate in manner, and !are powerfully presented. -OR- IP! THE FOOTLIGHTS' GLAREAND SHADOWS, By Emma V. Sheridan, Will be a uniquely readable story, in structive as well as diverting, humor ous as well as pathetic, and engross ing without grossness. Do not neg lect to begin its perusal on August 23, In TPIE DISPATCH.
