want to drop out we would have no
trouble in getting a substitute. I have

greatest season in tha history of the

THE AW DICKINSON CASE

KENT OVER HEK LIFE HIST0KY
Examination linlivoiiej by Sharp Kotorts
and lilts of Kcpartco Kemnrks Mado
by Attorney I'crrls in Opening tho
Cuso for tlio Hefcndunts.
Miss Anna R. Dickinson's suit for
$50,000 damages now being tried In the
United States circuit court before Judge
Achcson and a jury in court room No.
- at the court house Is one of the most
Important events In legal circles In the
history of Lackawanna county's court.
Miss Dickinson, the celebrated wo
man whose name Is familiar in almost
every state of the union, with the as
sistance of her counsel, Attorney Me
Lain. of Wllkesniiarre, anil ex-Judge
Dalley. of New York, Is endeavoring to
convince a court and jury thut Dis. Un
derwood and Ileilman and others of
IMttston, on February 25, ISM, by force
and against her will, removed her to the
Danville Insane asylum, while she waB
In her right mind and capable of inun
ukIur her own affairs nnd that by rea
son of such confinement she has sus
tained damages to the amount speci
fied. Isaac lilocl:, of Tioga county, was
called as the first witness yesterday
morning. What he had to say was of
not much account. Miss Dickinson, her
self, was called to the stand by her at
torneys nnd asked to state what ar
rangements for lecturing hud tjcen In
terrupted by Iter incarceration In the
as lum. Major Warren objected und
the court sustained It. Then the wit
ness was given over to the attorneys
of the defense fur cross-examination,
which Major Warren conducted.
Something of Her History.
She was born on Oct US, 1S12, and
branched out as a public lecturer nt
the uge of 21 years. From 1S63 until
1ST3 she had n.i many ns 1,000 applica
tions a year for lectures, but would de
liver only ISO u year and re
ceived ir each a sum ranging
between $100 and $1,000. She could lec
ture on any subject, but hud very pro
nounced views and feared thut she
would be sure to give offense to some
of her hearers.
Major Warren carried on a most ex
haustive examination nnd questioned
her closely concerning the incidents of
her life up to the time of her Incarcera
tion. The impromptu bits of repartee
that frequently passed between him
and her caused many a smile In the
court, and Judjje Acheson exhibited
signs of mirth a3 well as the utidlence.
She was asked If she had not often
mado use of opprobrious epithets to the
servant, a young lady named Martha
Drown. She admitted that she once
called Miss Brown a liar, and that the
term properly characterised her. She
did not use profane language In the
presence of Mr. Hall, of Plttston. Her
heulth was good and she slept unusual
ly well. She was not In the habit of
going out on promenade or In public
places not suitably dressed. She did
not remember going out clad In a light
wrapper, a red straw hat and a thin
shawl.
She Was Not Complimentary.
In answer to the question whether
the defendants had acted as gentle
men when they called to take her away,
she replied that they demeaned them
selves more like housebreakers, kid
napers and ruffians. She denied that
on the train she wanted to send mess
ages to Jay Gould, ex-Governor Paul
son, Whltelaw R-ld, and other distin
guished gentlemen. She allowed a re
porter of the New York Herald to In
terview her after her liberation, and he
used no stenographic notes, but wrote
up an Interview with her from hearsay.
During the campaign of 1.SSS she re
ceived for her services on the lecture
platform In the interests of the Repub
lican party a sum of money, only a few
hundred dollurs short of $.1,000. Mrs.
Jessie Wlnterstein, of Danville, Mrs.
Sallle Ackley, of Now York, and Mrs.
Louise McDonald, of Wilkes- Barre,
were the next witnesses examined, nnd
testified as to Miss Dickinson's health,
appearance and personal possessions.
That closed the case In chief tuff lht
plaintiff.
A few minutes before 5 o'clock At
torney Ferris, of West Plttston, opened
for the defense. He referred to the
nobleness of an Institution designed in
such elaborate manner ns the Danville
asylum, und said that the defendants
were actuated by the most worthy mo
tives In Incarcerating her. The defense
would show, he said, that Mies Dickin
son was not In her right mind previous
to her incarceration. That she exhib
ited an undue Infatuation for men,
threw kisses at men In public places,
used to go out riding and applied the
whip to the horse so that the whip had
to be taken from her. .
Actions She Is Charged with.
That she made purchases of large
quantities of Intoxicants at wholesale
liquor stores; und, In fact, did many
things which were absolutely scanda
lous. Once nt Iter dressmaker's she fell
upon the floor nnd rolled about and
threw her feet up In the air In an In
decent manner. Her Bister another
time found her tenting up telegram
blanks at the Plttston depot, and could
not get her home until she had sent a
stirring message to some distinguished
person. She once run half naked
through the streets after the Hcrvunt,
nnd again she stabbed her sister with a
scissors on the hand.
These things, Mr. Ferris wild, coming
from such a woman ns Anna Dickinson
were unqualified evidences of Insanity.
The case will be resumed tit 9.30 this
morning, a hnlf hour earlier.

BEAT HORSE AND MAN.
That Is tho Ctuirgo .Mado Against John
, llnvuqmi. of Klchmoiidnle.
John Havaqua, of Ilichmondale, near
Forest City, was yesterday arrested by
Constable llennegan upon a charge of
assault and battery upon Pasquula
Carfoto, u driver employed by Arlgonl
Ferdlnnndo, of this city. Havaqua was
also charged with "malicious mischief"
In beating a horse, the property ot Fer
dlnando. Alderman Flt.slmmons held
him in $300 ball upon each charge to
appear ut court, Detective Morun, of
Carbondale, qualifying as bondsman.
The evidence disclosed a ruvolting
charge which Havaqua will be com
pelled to reply to In court. It Is al
leged that he used u club so unmerci
fully to the horse that it caused Its
death. Ferdlnando hires horses to con
tractors up the valley and Carfoto was
engaged as driver. A dispute urose as
to the willingness of the horse to do lis
work und when Hnvuqua punished the
pool brute, Carfoto defended him,
with the result that he was also admin
istered a sound thrashing.
.Mr. Ferdlnando has begun a civil suit
against Ituvuquu for damages for the
loss of the unimal and the money due

HE MAKES HIS CHILDREN BEG
Murray Loafs la tho House Ulmsolf and
Smokes Ills I'lpo-Cosc of the Stock
crt Family of Moltko Avenue,
l ive with the Chickens.
A busy evening was ppent by the
Hoard of Associated Charities last night
under the pienldency of J. II. Cohen. T.
J. Kelley, chairman of the child-saving
committee, reported that representa
tives of the committee had call'-d at the
residence of Kate Moharan, on Tenth
street, who had b,-en charged with
keeping a "speak easy," and ugainst
whom true bills hud been relumed by
the grand Jury for selling liquor with
out u license, nnd for selling liquor to
minors.
The three children were respectably
attired when the committee was pres
ent, and there was not sufllclent Indica
tions of neglect to warrant any action
on their part. The committee ub'o vis
ited the resilience of Mrs. Htockeit, on
Moltko uvenue, who had received re
lief from the pour board. The members
found u, large quantity of groceries of
all kinds In a back room, and articles
of clothing, comprising a variety of
shoes, gaiters, rubbers, etc., sutllilent
to satisfy them that the family was not
in need of clothing or food. The chick
ens occupied one of the best rooms in
the house, the next room being occupied
by an elderly brother who worked regu
larly at the mills. The board discussed
the case at some length, ami It was de
elded to request the poor board to di
rect their local physician to attend one
of the children whose eyesight wan
affected, and that the board of health
be requested to direct their sanitary
officer to visit the house with a view to
compelling the parties to abate the
nuisances.
. ' Case of the Murray family.
During the reading of the agent's re
port the name of Patrick Murray, a
railroader, of S.'S South Washington
avenue, caused a lively discussion. Iic
ports had been made from time to time
to Mrs. Duggan that the children were
begging to the tune of a pitiful story
of their father's death, a poverty strick
en mother und destitution of the sever
est kind. Mrs. Dugg'in found that
Murray wan a well-built and healthy
man, with six children, ranging from
two to twelve years In age, for whom,
however, he did not deem it incumbent
upon himself to toll, but perferred to
organize a systematic begging by them.
The agent visited the house and found
the father reclining upon a lounge,
smoking his pipe, and acknowledged
that his children were begging for his
support, and that he had received re
lief from the poor board. He was one
of the laziest men whom Mr?. Duggan
had encountered, and had also a pro
pensity for alcohol. The members ex
pressed themselves strongly upon Mr.
Murray's conduct and requested that
the matter should be dealt with by
the dally papers, in order to prevent
further fraud.
A comment was made on the large
number of tramps who had applied for
relief during the month. Many were
traveling in an honest search for em
ployment, but a number who had
offers of work were not afterward
heard from. Mrs. Duggan, In her re
port, stated that second-hand clothes,
bread, money und transportation had
been given, und In one instance a pri
vate benefactor had paid for n grave
on behalf of an indigent family. Thirty
seven cases had been visited, of which
twenty-six were worthy, and eleven
Were deemed unworthy; transportation
hud been given to eleven persons, and
employment found for four.
.Mr. Cibrons' Suggestion.
John Gibbons referred to the work
of the agent in visiting the persons
relieved by the poor board, and sug
gested that Mrs. Duggan should report
all such cases to the respective direct
ors. The suggestion was accepted.
A letter was read from Manager
Davis In which he expressed In felici
tous terms his appreciation of the reso
lution of the board thanking him for
his services In giving u benefit perform

the fact thut they were In the crosscut,

SUITS
FOR EVERYBODY.
Once in a while somebody
comes in and says : " You
ready-made folks can't fit me."
That man has had hard luck;
he's been into a small ready
made store or a big one,where
they don't keep sizes enough
or where sizes don't fit:
If IS DIFFERENT HERE
OUR sizes fit, and there
are always plenty of them
plenty, for example, of those
nice Mixed Cheviots and
Tweed Suits, plenty of those
delicately woven, yet very
handy, Worsteds. Suits for
slim men, stout men and all
sorts of men. Call and see.
