ment, and it elicited the admiration of
even the men who had decided to vote

Many of the members pronounced it
the best report in the history of the

Yesterday morning the jury in the

Judge Handley filed into court and
handed in a verdict in favor of the de
fendant. A similar verdict was re
turned wheu the case was tried in this
court before.
Tipstaff Jacob Ritter privately in
formed Judge Archbald of what he
believed was improper conduct on the
part of Attorney Noper on Saturday
uight. bnt the judge did nut thiuk the
grievance was such as to require any
interference on the part of the court.
An application will be made for a
new trial by Mr. Sopsr, and one of the
reasons that will be cited why it should
be granted is that Mr. Ritter preju
diced the jurors against the plaintiff
by rolating to them the particulars of
his trouble with Attorney Soper.

Since the days wheu O.tcar Wilde ex
lilbited his shrinking knees, uncased 111
plush breeches ; since he shocked the
world by his amorous anil rather in
decent devotion to the tuiitlower; siuce
Sir Arthur Sullivan caricatured him
as Uurnthorne iu the opera "I'atience,"
tho world has regarded hint us a
freak Now that he has put before the
public a play that is remarkable for
the stinging cynicism of its dialogue,
he is regarded as more of n freak than
ever. Liy all tne laws of precedent Oi
car Wilde should not have done any
thing more etait.liug than attoudiug
afternoon teas aud receptions.
By his first dramatic work, "Lady
Win lermere't Fan," which was pio-duc-d
ut the Academy of Music hist
evening, the ii'sthetlc Oscar broke awav
from the environments of froakdom
and appeared as a dramatist and, too,
one of the cleverest of his age.
1TOBY OF TIIF. PLAY.
The story Oscar Wilde telli in "Lsdy
Windermere s ran is about a very
good young wife who discovers that
hsr very good young husband is paying
large sums of money to u woman who
owns a rather shady reputation who is,
iu reality, the handsome mother of the
young wife, having deserted her hus
band and child twenty years before.
The large sums paid to her are the in
nucent contributions of tho young
hushund who, out of devotion to his
wife, who believes her mother to be
dead, would like to rehabilittte
the wayward woman in society, When
iu a moment of innocent rage and hu
miliation over the prosense of the sus
pected woman in her house, tho wife is
preparing to tl v to the protection of a
man who has long pestered her with
his attentions, sho is saved from the
fatal step by the aforesaid woman with
thee. r. , who after twenty years of in
difference suddenly experiences a pang
of maternal sympathy and rescues tbe
still innocent girl from ruin by claim
ing tor herself an undeserved disgrace
It Is in this situation that occurs th"
episode of the fan. Lord Windermere
hasfouul his wife's fan in tho apart
ment of Lord Darlington. The woman
with the reputation confronts the no
bleman as they face each other after
the discovery, and, announcing that
she took Lady Windermere's fan by
mistake wheu she was leaving that
lady's home a little w'nile before, gath
ered to herself all the guilt, and iu the
intensity of the moment wheu all
eyes are fixed upon the woman
with the reputation, Lady Winder
mere who has been concealed behind a
curtain, takes advantage of the oppor
tunity and escapes, and her honor is
saved. Lady Windermere does not
subsequently learn that tbe wouiau
witli the reputation is her mother, as
might be expected she would, but after
a touching scene with her in which she
expresses proper gratitude for the lady's
services the night before, bids her a
tender farewell aud nestles iu the arms
of her husband,
A RAOKNSYBD BOMANC'K.
It is hard to cone ivo of a class of
people who can glitter so incessantly
as the people 1 Mear Wilde has put into
"Lady Windermere's Fan." The in
terest ceuters almost entirely in the
heartless utteran:es of a group of
rakes, and the sentimental interest of
the story is secondary to the
dialogue of those dissipated cyn
ics Tho real romance is rather
hackneyed, and frequently is
tedious, the central situation is fa
miliar, and the movement of the play
at times is far from brisk. Oscar wakes
up his audience wheu he troti on his
roues and sits them about the stage
much after the style of a minstrel per
formance, with an interlocutor in the
middle, whoie duty it is to draw out
shafts of wit from the end men and
these shafts are 9barpely pointed, it
must be admitted.
The performance at the Academy
last evening was given the benefit of
an unuiually good stage setting. The
young, confiding wife, Lady Winde
mere, was admirably portrayed by
Miss Evelyn Campbell. Mies Virginia
Harned.aH the woman with the historic
past, looked the part most effectively,
ami missed uo points, sustaining her
self throughout with certainty, vivac
ity, and at the propor times with con
vincing passion. Ot the male members

Patrick Burke, a vonng man who re
sides at Dickson City, Is the plaintiff
in a trespass suit against the Dtlawar 1
and Hudson Canal company that was
called for trial before Judge Archbald
In court room No 1 yesterday after
noon. On July 20, in-'j, Mr. liurke
sustained injuriuH in the Dickson eliaft
at Green RldgS, operated hy the Dela
ware aud Hti Isou Canal company. As
a remit of the accident his rignt leg is
cripplod nud ho says he has other per
manent injuries. Colonel T. J. Mirtin,
of Wlllieg-Rirre, and Attorney T. J.
Duggau appeared for Mr. liurke, and
ex Judge W. H. Jessup for the com
panv.
The plaintiff was tho lirU witness
examined, He said that on July 20,
lbST, between 'I and 7 o'clock in tbe
morning, with several other mine
Workers, ho got on the carriage to go
down the shaft to the Clark vein,
where they wero employed At the
fourteen-foot vein, which isaboijlhalf
down llie shRlt, the carriage struck
fans that extend out luto the shaft for
the carriage to rest on when it stops at
the fourteen-foot vein. Just before
they went dowu a load of meu had
been lowered to the fourteen-foot vein ,
FANS WERE NOT llAISI li
When the carnage ngtiin went to
the surface, tho fans were not raised,
and hh it descended to the Clark's voiu
it struck the fans with great force and
rebounded about fivo feet The shock
threw the men violently to the 11 or of
the carriage, and witnesses' right knee
struck one of tho iron rails. The leg
was forced backward until it touehed
his back and several men fell across
his breast. He was taken homo and
his right knee and ankle fnun 1 to be
injured nnd he had also sustained in
ternal injuries.
These injuries confined him to bd
for four months and it was two years
before he was able to resume work. He
is now employod as a miner in the
Richmond mine. About a year and a
half atter the accident several pieceB
of bone bad to be taken out of the
knee, (in cross examination Mr. Burke
admitted that sixteen years ago when
he was a boy of 12 he hud the same leg
broken ubovo tbe knee. It made bitu
slightly lame, but never gave him any
trouble. The contention is that the
mechanism that operated th fans was
not iu goud order and tho accident was
the result.
SAFETY 1JLOCK PIT IN.

accident tne lever used to rais i ana
lower the fans at the fourteen foot

of injuries he found when called to
attend Mr. Burke atter the accident on

firm before tbe Lsckawanna Bar asso
ciation, yesterday wrote a letter to At
torneys Hulslander cc Vosburg stating
that so far as he and Mr. Connolly, his
partner, were concerned the matter
was a ,ieit.
The letter with regard to the matter

found its way into public print from
the fact that a newspaper man happened
to be present aud took posietsion of it
after It had been tossed to Mr. Con
nolly, one of the censors of the associ
ation. No one objected to his doin g
so, as it was not supposed or iuteuded
