where bis play, "Cljy (iovernnient."

gagements to apieiir nt Wllkcs-llane

tiy several constables nt the Instance
of hotel keepers, who were desirous of
secuiini; a settlement of the hoardintr
bills Incurred by members of the com
pany, but probably, none of tlient have
displayed more intense anxiety for un
Interview than Miss lles;:le lltayson,
who was eiu;;i;;ed lis souhrette tit the
r:i.U of $.':: per week. .
This ladv secured a portion of her
claim at Olvphnnt but a balance of S10
was owing yesterday and she wenl be
fore Aldirinan Kitzsimnums and swore
to int'nruiatloii against lillbride. She
explained that at Olyphant paytiu'iits
on account were made to all the mem
bers of the company cnci pt Miss (lar
rikin. A wairant was also Issued Jor
Mr. Cilbride yesterday by Alderman
Wright at t'le Instance of i-lie pro
prietor of the Carpenter house.
Company (loos to Pieces,
liusiness Mapager Campbell resigned
his position Willi the company after the
Olyphant eiigaifenietit, and when It was
announced yesterday the Wllkes-liimv
engagftnent hail been cancelled the
company w nt to piceccs. All of the
members of it who came here from Now
York have tickets to return to that city.
It was stated that Mr. Sherwood, a
well known Philadelphia tluati-ic.il
man, will at once proceed to ovgauir.e
a company and put "Without a Name"
en the stage a;;aln. It is a much better
dramatic work than the "City Covern
tiH'iit," and In the opinion of those who
took part in Its production in tills eity
Tuesday night, has elements of success.
H is very probable that "City tlovern
ment" will be shelved for good.
Those In a position to know, said yes
toray that Mr. Gllbrlde's efforts to stage
his p! ay In this city had caused him a,
net less of $1.(100.
Hearing Last l.vening.
The constable sent forth by Alderman
Fiusiinm.ms located Mr. Clildbrldo and
brou-,-'nt him before the chief justice of
the i;ie,lith ward Ia;;t night. It then
transpired that Mr. (lilbriue had also
issued a warrant for the arrest of Stage
Manager William Wheeler upon a
charge of larceny, Uie offense? being
that Mr. Wheeler har refusul to deliver
up the manuscript of Mr. tiildbridr's
piays. The staje manager, in a dra
matic manner, declared that he was
ready for tho fray and would be Inter
ested to hear ho-.v Mr. (illbride would
prove his charge. Mrs. Wheeler, who,
by the way. wa: principal lady, Inter
pes -d and reminded Mr. Gilbrido of the
very ur.gonilemanly manner in which
he had behaved. It ai.enred that the
manuscript was In Mr. Wheeler's trunk
at the deprt and that the only condi
tion upon whit-ii he would return the
manuscript was that Mr. CilhriaJe's
,-r.sh would materialise.
Hefore thl3 matter could be nettled,
however, the ouestlon of board cropped
up. Mr. Gllbride contended that the
Wheelers hail promised to pay half the
boarding- bill, as Mrs. Wheeler wanted
her husband to be away from the other
actors, owing to his drinking propensi
ties. Mrs. Wheeler admitted her hus
band's fondness for the cup that lnebrl
HoK, but denied strenuously that they
hud agreed to "split the bill." Mrs.
Whel, r, Mr. 'Illbride. John Campbell,
ag.-nt to Cilbride, and Miss Oarrlgan
then opened up a debate as to the
boarding bill, when Attorney Corbett
escorted his client, flllbrlife, and the
rest of the company to a private room
to endeavor to arrange a compro
mise. Charges of AH kind.
From Wyoming avenue could be
heard the accusations of lying made by
the various parties until passers-by
wondered if a performance of "City
Government" was being given for the
edification of the alderman. Cries of
"You're crazy" and other uncompli
mentary terms were heard Incessantly.
In about half an hour, as no seitle
ment was arrived nt, the alderman
began to hear the caies. Mr. Wheeler
was examined as to the manuscript
and nfter some skirmishing went. In
company with Messrs. Campbell and
Tom Oilbrlde, to bring back the docu
ments from the depot. Mr. (Illbride
paid him $1 and presented him and Mrs.
Wheeler with tickets to New York.
Miss Garrlgan, another lady of the
company, then stepped up, and In a
mellifluous manner asked Mr. Cilbride
for satisfaction. Another wrangle be
gan and a compromise was effected by
payment of the lady's fare to New
York.
Miss V.essle Irnyson then nestled up
toflllbrldennd pictured herself a strnnd
ed maiden In an alderman's olllee.whlch
brought the tears to Fltzslmmons' eyes
and $4;0 from Gllbrlde's pockets. (Ill
bride, however, as a consolator, an
nounced to Hie company that he was
ashamed of those who had presented
his play, all of them not being up to his
Ideas, except a Mr. Allan.
An Actor Who Iddn't I nt.
Mr. Keogh, of the St. Charles' hotel.
In order to be In the swim, presented
a claim for $10.50 and Mr. (Illbride main
tained his reputation by giving up the
cash. Mr. Davles, a member of the com
pany, complained Hint he had received
no meals at the t. Charles that day,
and Landlord Keough Invited him to
come around and 'siiunre himself off."
Ilefore leaving Hie nlderman's olllce
Mr. (Illbride had dlschurgeil all his
claims and received his manuwrlpt.
AKKKSIlil) FOR FF.RJURY.
.Henry Goodman Held In H0() Hall to Ap
pear nt Court.
Henry Coinhnmn, of Washington ave
nue, was yesterday arrested upon u
charge of perjury at tho Instance of
Henry Herrlck, of New York state, and
after waiving a hearing before Alder
man Fuller, was held In $so ball to ap
pear at court, M. Judkovlcs, of 45
South Washington avenue, qualifying
as his bondsman.
The warrant was Issued In conse
quence of an affidavit made by Henry
Herrlck, representing the firm of Mo
Parlanc & Co., who alleged that Oood
man "did unlawfully, wilfully, corrupt
ly and falsely swear to certain matters
and things In an affidavit of defense
dated Dec. f, 18114, In the case of Mc
Farlono, & Co., versus th eald Henry
Ooodman." The defendant at the time
swore that lOO'.i dozens of shirts sup
idled ty McFarlane & Co., were not of
first quality, but of second quality, and
that they were worth $181.29 and not
$604.24, as claimed by McFarlane &
Co.
Goodman also swore that Herrlck ad
mitted that the goods were of an In
ferior quality and that he would allow
a discount of 2.1 per rent. Herrlck, In
his ullldavit, makes oath Hint these
statements are false nnd that Goodman
swore to them, knowing them to be
untrue.
ISLE OF CUAiUl'AfJNF..
Hcocived with .Much l-'nvor at the Acad
emy of Music.
Thomas Q. Seubrooke, unlike Rich
ard Munslleld, has no reason to com
plain of his reception In this yclty. It
was hearty and cordial, nnd at times
bordered closely on the enthusiastic.
"The Isle of Champagne," In which
Mr. Seabrooke made Ill's nppearance ut
the Academy of Music last evening, is
labelled u conile opera on the house bill,
but It scarcely urines to that dignity.
It is light and ami frivolous In the ex
treme, but frivolity and lightness Is
of the delightful character theater
goers admired so much In "Wang," and
which won for that irs great popular
ity. It Is an evidence, one might be
warranted In saying, that people go to
the theater to be amused rather than
Instructed, when Manslleld plays to
empty seats and Seabrooke causes the
standing room sign to appear. Ai l, In
matters theatrical, is very well In Us
way, but it won't make people laugh
and forget their cares in the way the
merry monarch of the bile of Cham
pagne can. and thai Is no doubt the
reason why the highest forms of the
atricals are not popular in the box of
fices. Mr. Seabrooke, as King I'ommery
Second, ruler of the Isle of Champagne,
kept the audience in constant good
humor last night, lie belongs to the
natural school of comedians, anil then
Is nothing forced about his efforts to
amuse. The music of the "Isle of
Champagne" Is catchy and tuneful, and
it was well rendered lust evening, for
Mr. Seabrooke has n number of good
voices In his company. Miss Maud K.
Williams rendered several solos wltli
spirit nr.d feeling and was invaded
hearty recalls.
Miss Irene -Murphy assumed the lead
ing female role, that of Pinna, the ladle
of the Isle of Champagne, and did It In
a very clever manner. She sang better
than when last heard In this city with
the liennctt and Moitlton Opera com
pany, und displayed all the chic that
has won prominence for. her In the
realm of comic opera. Through an
error the house bill announced that
Miss Klvla Crox, otherwise Mrs.
Thomas Seabrooke, was Plana, but
Miss Murphy is so well known to Scran
tonians that the mistake did not de
ceive many. Mi.-s Murphy nnd Miss
Crox alternate nightly In the role.
Among the members of the company
who won much favor with the audience
last night by their clever work were
Walter Allen. A. S. Kingsley, Charles
M. McDonald, Daniel I,. Raker, W.
Wallace Black and Kva Davenport.
DICKISON IS CAU(jHT.
The l'iku County Digamist l.anJcJ in t lie
County Jail. '
Special Officer Fled Mink located his
: game with ease and Alexander Mc
j William Dickison, the young man who,
it Is alleged, deserted his first wife to
i marry another, will remain In the coun
! ty 3all until some one furnishes bail
i to guarantee his appearance in court
j to answer the charge of bigamy.
The ofilcer had no trouble in .finding
; Dickison and returned with him at a
I late hour Tuesday night. The prisoner
v;as taken before Justice of the I'eace
Arnold, of Peckville, and In default of
' ball committed to pail.
MUSICAL HONORS.
Conferred on II. Percy James, of Oly
pliant.
R. Percy James, of Olyphant, has re
ceived information from the registrar
i of Trinity university, Toronto, that his
i cantata, "God Is My Refuge," n work
containing solos, quartettes and fu
gual choruses in eight parts, has been
approved by the examiner, Frederick J.
Karn, Mus, Doc, London, England.
i The work was written ns a prolim-
! itmry to the final examination work.
for the degree of musical bachelor. Out
of nine cantatas sent for examination
only four passed the required standard.
Mrs. James was prepared for" the ardu
ous task by T. J. Davie. Mus. Rue,
of this city.
MR. SCIIROI'IH.R'S CINCH.
So Opponent for Select Council from the
Sixteenth Ward.
It Is not probable that Adam Schroe
der, the regularly nominated Republi
can candidate for select council from
the Sixteenth ward, will have a Dem
ocratic opponent. No Democratic nomi
nation papers have been filed In the
court house five days preceding the
election, which will be held Tuesday.
Among politicians It Is not considered
likely that Mr. Schroeder will have any
opposition. It has been currently re.
ported that the Democratic leaders In
the ward bad tried to lilt upon some
available German, but without success,
and It Is not expected that any eleventh
hour candidate will be run on stickers.

ment fur Publishing Mercantile Ap
praisement. Ritsiness Manager W. H. P.ell, of the
firm of Roll it Hudson, proprietors of
the Scranton Tlnn s Publishing com
pany, through Attorney M. E. McDon
aild, yesterday applied to court for a
writ of alternative mandamus to com
pel Hie county commissioners of La"k
aw.'inna county to publish tin; merch.in
tile appraisement list for the year IWl.'i
In the Times. Manager pell made an
alllljavlt to llio effect that the paper of
which he is a part proprietor is the
only Democratic, dally In this county,
qualllled with the additional usserva
tlon that it Is the only papor.cxcept Sun
day journals, roprest nling the minority
party In Lackawanna county.
Judge Gunster was on the bench In
the main court room, and the proceed
ings were begun before him. A rule
was granted to show cause why a
writ of mandamus as prayed for should
not be issued and wan made return
able nnd will be an;ued on Monday
morning at 1) o'clock In open court. The
allidavit made by Manager Itc-11 and
upon which tlu mandamus 1s petitioned
for states that county commissioners
Samuel W. Roberts, Giles Roberts and
John Demuth ordered the publication of
the mercanlilo appraisers' list jf names
and ( laKsilicatlon of persons subject to
license In three papers, viz: The Scran
ton Republican, Scranton Times and
the Woehcnblatt, a German paper, none
of which represent the minority party
of the two principal parties of the
county.
County Solicitor ex-Judge H. A.
Knnpp accepted the service of the rule
and will appear for the county commis
sioners at the hearing on Monday
morning. Chief Clerk Charles F. Wag
ner said that the proprietors of the
Times published the appraisement list
of their own volition, and they had
carried the matter to court to receive
payment therefore. If court decides
that the county must foot the bill, then,
of course, It will have to be done.
Fred Wagner, publisher of the Scran
ton Woehcnblatt, has certified to the
county commissioners that his paper is
u Democratic Journal.
Clerk Wagner states that the Woeh
cnblatt has given satisfactory evidence
of its political principles; for it has
been hostile to the Republican party for

Fletcher, 12-year-old son of Jacob
I'letcher, or C28 East Drinker street,
wuh mangled to death at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon by a street car on the
Dunmore Suburban line.
School was Just out and the chil
dren were on their way down the street
going toward the postoflice, as Is cus
tomary with them dally. Several boys
Were together playing, running about
on the street, and young I'letcher did
not stop, before rushing across tho
street car track, to notice whether a car
was in sifiht.
Car No. PIS, In charge of Motorman
Frank Fleming, was Inward-bound and
lipprouclilrig ut a rapid rate of speed.
The motorman Is credited with sound
ing the he'll long und loud enough to
warn the children, but I'letcher was on
the track ahead of the car und before
he could escape or the car could be
stopped It bore down upon him and
crushed the breath out of his body.
Ills skull was broken, his arms and legs
twisted out of Joint, and his body bad
ly mangled. The motorman, when h"
saw that the accident was inevitable,
reversed bis car, but it slid along ten
feet before it stopped and dragged the
body that distance.
The remains were taken to the estab
lishment of I'ndertakor Letchworth
and at U o'clock removed to the parents'
home. Coroner Kelb-y will hold uu in
quest this morning.

Persons who saw the accident do not
attach any blame to Mutorumn Flem
ing. The sieed of the car was no
greater than is usual, and when he saw
the danger he endeavored with all the
strength ut his command to stop the
car. He resides in Dunmore, not far
from the I'letcher household and Is
deeply pained at his involuntary part in
tile boy's death.
