Hlica Presented It at tho Academy of Music l.nst Might. Rhea appeared at the Academy of Music last night In "The New Mag dalen," a solemn, ombra drama that gives her opportunity to revel In the tear suggesting enunciation at which she Is such an adpt. The lesson that the dmma teaches is that all bad women are nut contlnuous- and persistently bad. Mercy Mer- Ick was a nurse In. a French war hos pital, having Jut left a retf uge fur fallen women. She met Grace Roseberry, the daughter of an English oflleer, recent ly deceased, who svas on 'her way to her father's relatives In England for pro- ectlun and assistance. This girl was olruck on the head by a piece of shell and according to Che French surgeon, was killed. Mercy Mert'lck 'possessed herself of the girl's clothes and papers and as a means of effectually dentroy- ng her past, palmed herself off as the original Miss Rosebwry on that lady's aunt, Lady Janet Hoy. A German surgeon revived Miss Rose- berry, who proceeded to dispute the right of Mercy Merrick 'to the name .f Roseberry. The ex-fallen woman had herself firmly intrenched in the affec tions of Lady Jancit Roy and let It be understood that the claimant was an inpostor. After the heroics had been spread through two acts and sho has two men muJly In love with her, Mercy Merrick humbly confesses her decep tion and makes what reparation she can. Rhea's peculiar French accent is as pronounced as It was ten years ago, but her acting Is that of a llrlshed, con scientious and painstaking artiste. Her support was pood, the work of Mr. Hart, as Rev. Julian Gray, being es pecially worthy of note. "The New Magdalen" will not increase Rhea's fame. DIED IN THE MINES.

DEATH OF JUDGE SEELY 1 Expired at His Home in Honesdale After an Illness of Several Months. HONORABLE CAREER AT AN END For Twelve Years Deceased Served with Distinction as Resident Judgoof the Wayne-Pike Judicial DIstrlct-I'u-ncral Will Take Placo l'rlday. Ex-Judge Henry M. Seely died at his home ;in Honesdale Wednesday night of Bright' s disease, from which he had suffered for some 'time. Mr. Seely was a member of the Lackawanna county bar and the Bar association will meet a.t 11 o'clock 'this morning In the law library of the court house to take action on his death. Henry M. Seely 'Was born In Seely vllle, a suburb of Honesdale, on Sept. 18, 1835. His parents were Colonel Richard L. and Maria, Seely. He was prepared for college dn the schools at Honesdale and then entered Yale, from which college ho was graduated In 1857 Ex-Justice Alfred Hand, of this city, who was from boyhood one of Judge Seely's closest fi'lends, was a member of the same-class. Other distinguished members of it were Professor Mnscs Tyler, of Cornell university, and Pro fessor Illake, of Drown university. For a time young Seely read law at Honesdale under the direction of F. M. Crane, but in 1S58 he entered the Albany Law school, going from that institu tion to New York city, where he com pleted his studies. Admitted to the liar. In May 18f.9, he was admitted to prac tlce in New York and at once entered upon the duties of his profession. In September of ithe fume year he paid a visit to Honesdale and was admitted to practice In the Wayne county courts, but returned ito New York and con tlnued his practice 'there until the death of his father several years later. Col onel Hei ly was one of the most respect ed residents of Wayne county, and for a number of years was president of the Honesdale bank. On his demise his son settled per manently In Honesdale and entered earnestly on the practice of his profes sion. He forged quickly to the front and wait soon looked upon as the leader of the Wayne bar. In 1882 Charles P, Waller, preslde-nt Judge of the Twenty second Judicial district, which includes Wayne and I'lke counties, died, and Mr. Seely was at once pointed to as the most worthy person to succeed him. Ha was appointed by Governor Hoyt to serve until January, 1884. In 1883 the Republicans of the Judi cial district tendered the nomination for Judge to Mr. Seely by unanimous consent, and Oeorge S. Purdy was named by the Democrats ,of Wayne as their candidate. Pike county Dem ocrats refused to endorse the nomina tion of 'Mr. Purdy, and named D. M. Van Auken. l.lcctcd to the Office of Judge. The result was that in the election which followed the divided Democrats were defeated, Judge Seely being elect ed by a handsome plurality. lie served until Jan. 1, 18H4, when his term ex pired. In the fall of 1893 he was nomln ated for re-c-lectlon by the Republicans and Mr. Purdy was nominated by the Democrats of the entire district, the honor going to him with practically the same unanimity displayed by the Re publicans in selecting Judge Seely as their standard bearer. The lulter held a conference with his friends and on their advice decided not to again make a canvass for the high olilce he had for almost twelve years filled so acceptably and his old oppo nent was elected without opposition Judge Purdy, who is holding court In this city this week, went on the bench last January. His relations with Judge Seely were always of a most friendly character. He recognized in the man who defeated him, a thorough gentle man of great ability, nobleness of char acter, and singleness of purpose. After retiring from tho bench Judge Seely came to this city and opened a law fllce with the intention of ulti mately making this city 'his hme. Stricken by tho Disease. In September, 1893, Judge Seely's 'Phy sicians became alarmed at indications thait Blight's diease had obtained a hold on his system and after coming to this city the disease seemed to progress, Last May he went to Philadelphia to consult a specialist, from whom he learned that his case was a serious one, He had Intended embarking In the prac tlce of law In this county at the May term of court, having several cases on the list. On the advice of hla physician he decided not to go Into count, but In stead went to his home In Honesdale, When he left this city he put his af fairs Jn charge of ex-Justice Hand, During the Bummer Judge Seeley epent most of his time at Upper Woods club house, but 'hia condition continued to grow worse until Saturday when It be came evident 'that his death was only a matter of a few days at most. When a young man Judge Seely mar ried Miss Kate Tracey, of Honesdale, an associate of his childhood, and daughter of Hon. T. H. R. Tracey, one of Honeadale's 'honored citizens. Two children were tiorn to itihem, both of whom died. Mrs. Seely followed them to the grave a few years ago. Characteristics of tho Mon. As a lawyer Judge Seely was dis tinguished for Ms accuracy In the preparation and 'trial of his cases. He hod a thorough and comprehensive grasp of all (he principles that underlie the many complicated questions that a lawyer has to deal with. As a judge he was impartial, clear, decisive and trenohant. He was patient to hear and thoroughly digest faots and the law In the case and gave 'his decisions without fear or favor. With the members of the bar who practiced before him he was popular and respected, for all had their interests protected. As a man Judge Seely was patriotic and strong In upholding the true founda tions of society. He was a thorough Christian and a member and a ruling elder of the Honesdale Presbyterian church. After his decision to open an ofilce In Scranton the retail nod hia mem bershlp In the Honesdale church and went to the Maple City weekly and kept up his Bible class and Sabbath school, both of Which he had conducted with marked ability and success for many years. By his death the place of his birth 'has lost an honored and valued man. He ihad the love and re spect alike of rich and poor, high and low. V Funeral on Friday. Hia funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at 2.15 o'clock at his residence In Honesdale. Interment In Glen Dy- berry cemetery.

CITY NEARLTTSKOW-BOUND Last Night's Storm Played Havoc with Street Car Traffic. CABMEN ASK DOUBLE PARES Gangs of Shovclcrs and One Electric Sweeper Pressed Into Service by tho ' Traction Company Railroad Travel, Too, Was Slightly Impeded. After demoralizing street car traffic about the city before 11 o'clock last night and slightly Interfering with the train schedules of all the lines of rail road entering the city, the snow at an early hour this morning was falling rapidly and promising to Impede all kind of travel today. The Traction company at 10 o'clock started one of its two gigantic snow sweepers over the business streets In the central city. At that hour traffic had stopped on the Adams avenue and South Side HneB and was very uncer tain on other lines; at 11,:S0 o'clock the electric traffic was practically aban doned throughout the city. During the later hours Lackawanna avenue corners contained crowds of Impatient people who were finally com pelled to hire cabs or walk home, and by midnight cabmen were asking double prices, which were paid with very little grumbling. Drifting on the Pocono. Engineer Loomls, of engine No. 241, which pulls the midnight train from New York, reported that drifts from four to five feet deep were gathering on Mount Pocono where the wind wan blowing at a terrific rate. He antici pated considerable trouble by this morning. The train was fifteen minutes lute. The ascent-of Lackawanna hill to North Main avenue had to be aban doned by the Traction company's cars at an early hour, and cars were run along Robinson street and Jackson steet instead. On the South Side all the cars were delayed as early as 9 o'clock, and would-be passengers were compelled to save their & cents by trudging on foot. On the Green Ridge Suburban route several cars were stalled opposite the county Jail. Passengers from Peckvllle and Provi dence were detained all along the line, several cars coming together at some point where traveling was difficult. The running of the car along the re cently laid route to the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western crossing on North Main avenue was abandoned. early. Trouble at Pcckvillc, Late reports from Peckvllle Indicated that the snow lay eighteen Inches deep and that all the cars were blocked. Several large gangs of shovellers and sweepers were put at work on the street car tracks about midnight. It was the opinion then of the manage ment that with the aid of the electric sweeper regular travel could be re sumed at the usual hour this morning provided that the storm abated. NOTED ABOUT TOWN.
