City Engineer Phillips last week was ab
sent from the city and conferring with the
Edge Moor and Phoenix Bridge companies
regarding their contracts for building the
iron vork of the Linden and Spruce street
bridges respectively. The Edge Moor
company is having the Iron work pre
pared for the Linden street bridge and will
have a largo quantity of the material here
before the masonry work Is complete 1.
Notwithstanding the fact that Muldoon &
we were recently granted by. councils
extension of six weeks of the time for
icoi
mpletlng their contract for building
the masonry work of the two bridges. It
does not seem probable that the work will
be finished on the dates specified. The ex
tensions call for the completion of the Lin
den street bridge by My 6 and the Sprue,
street bridge by July 9.
Considerable discussion has been caused
on the West Side by the publication In
Saturday's Tribune of the resolution
passed by the members of the First Welsh
Congregational church relative to rehears
als of competitive music on Sunday. Tho
members of the Scranton Choral union, at
whom the resolutions are aimed, claim
that the members of the church were un
der a misapprehension In passing the reso
lution. Owing to the mistake of a locul re
porter the hours of Sunday rehearsals
were announced as taking place at the
same time as church services, whereas the
rehearsals are held at 12 noon, 3.30 p. m.
and after the evening service, so as not to
Interfere with regular church services.
The supporters of the resolutions claim,
however, that they condemn Sunday re
hearsals, regardless of the time at which
they are held.
BOARD OF CONTROL.
Directors Transact a Good Deal of Koutlno
' Huslness.
At a stated meeting of the board of
control last night a small amount of
routine business was transacted. The
excitement of the election of a city so
licitor In the council chambers waa
more attractive than any argument
over school matters, so the business of
the evening; was speedily accomplished
and! the controllers were able to witness
the last gasp of the Democrats In their
unhappy effort to elect their candidate.
Little & O'Connor, architects, pre
sented an estimate of $26,00 In favor
of Conrad Schroeder for work upon the
new high school. An order was or
dered drawn for that amount, as was
also an order for 214 per cent. In favor
of the archKeots, based upon the pay
ment to the contractor. Mr. Schroeder
has up to date been paid $64,000 of the
total contract price.
A number of bills approved by the
supply committee were ordered paid.
The report of tho teachers committee
was approved. The report lo, In part,
as lollows:
"In regard to the overcrowded condi
tion of No. 2, we find an average en
rollment of forty to each teacher, and
an average dally attendance of thirty
five, per teacher; we, therefore, see no
need, of relief. We recommend that
when schools close Wednesday after
noon, April 10, they remain closed for
the balance of the week. With refer
ence to the l-cort collection, permission
to take which was requested by Colonel
Monies post, we recommend that the
permission bo granted, and that the
money collected by turned over to the
secretary to be disposed of as the board
may determine."
On motion of Mr Evans It was de

HARRIS MAKES DENIAL
Denies the Statement Mode by Miss
Annn Dickinson.
HE NEVER TALKED THAT WAY
Miss Anna Trains Hor Ilattcrlcs on I)r.
Ullomun and Or. Johnson Law Points
of the 1'lulntlff and Defendants.
Arguments Will Ho Mado Toduy.
After one week's Intermission tho fa
mous Dickinson casu wuh resumed yes-tiu-dny
morning at 10 o'clock In the
court room In the Federal building, and
nt 3 o'clock In tho afternoon In tho flnul
throes of tho cuso an uplsode oocurred
which went further towurd establish
ing the unsoundness of mind of MIhs
Dickinson than any other Incident dur
ing the trial. rilio had boon on the wit
ness stand since court resumed giving
rebuttul testimony, and not long before
8 o'clock Judge Diilley turned MIhs
Dickinson over to Major Wurrcn for
cross-examination. The questions nnd
answers were very ordinary ones until
Major Warren asked her concerning an
omislon at the Danville Insane niylum,
when two of the femalo attendants
were taking her to the but h rod in so that
she might bo given a balli. Major War
ren Inquired If they handled her rough
ly or did they show feelings of kindness,
which?
"They wore simply madhouse attend
ants, more machines," she answered.
"You know the class of ntteiidunls
there. I understand you have been III
a madhouse."
"When umt where did you hear
that?" asked .Major Warren.
"I heard you had been in a retreat."
"From whom?"
"A giiod many."
"Please nume one."
Hid Not Want to Toll.
Judge Duiley, Miss Dickinson's coun
sel, obje cted to her answering nnd the
court with much warmth Informed the
plaintiffs counsel that Major Warren
was perfectly proper and justified in
his questions, and Judge Acheson re
quested Major Warren to proceed.
Then Major Warren asked her on her
oath to give the name of a single per
son who had ever told her that he hud
been confined in either a madhouse or
a retreut. She declined to tell. There
upon Major Warren addressed the
court and Inquired If the witness was
not bound to answer the name of the
persons wla hud told her this story and
Judge Acheson Informed Miss Dickin
son that she would have to give the
names of the persons, If she knew them,
who told her, Inasmuch ns she had
made the statement voluntarily and on
her own accord.
"You have sworn here, madam," said
Major Warren, "to what some persons
told you about my confinement In a
madhouse or retreat, and I demand that
you tell me the name of one person."
"A Mr. Harris told me," she replied.
"Who? John M. Harris, the attor
neyan attorney of this court Is it?"
was asked. "Yes, he Is the person,"
was her answer.
"He told you I had been In a retreat,
dldJif ?"
for nervous treatment," was
her 7-Sri 'Miss Dickinson '8 counsel
entered another objection, and Major
Warren addressed the court with these
words:
Statements Wholly False.
"Your honor, here Is a lady, who, un
der oath, has made a statement wholly
false, and I am going to find out and
inquire all about It." Judge Acheson
nedded his head In approval. Major
Warren requested Miss Dickinson to
proceed and give the names of others
who had told her about his Incarcera
tion In a madhouse. She said she did
not know their names, but they came
and told her.
Miss Dickinson was then allowed to
depart from the witness stand, and Mr.
Harris, who had been sent for by Major
Warren, having arrived, was put upon
the stand for the purpose of contra
dicting Miss Dickinson.
Mr. Harris, in answer to Major War
ren, swore that he had known him for
fifteen years, nnd he denied ever hav
ing made the statements nscrlbed to
him by Miss Dickinson. He met her
once at the instance of Judge Dalley,
one of her luwyers, and conversed wltli
her several times during the trial at
the county court house the week before
last, but always In the presence of
third parties. When he met her nt
Judge Dnlley's request, was at the
Wyoming house In the parlor and Judge
Dnllcy was present.
Whut Mr. Harris Said.
Mr. Harris denied that then or on nny
other occasslon he expressed himself In
the manner described, concerning
Major Warren. He admitted thnt he
told some persons that Major Wnrren
did not, perhaps, appreciate the brill
iancy of the witness he wns contending
against, but that Major Wnrren, how
ever, was the leader of the Lackawanna
bar. He told ;Mlss Dickinson that
Major Warren Is nn exceedingly hard
worker and for a while last summer
wns away a few' weeks for rest. He
entered an emphatla, forcible- and un
equlvocatlng denial against the state
ments of Miss Dickinson. That ended
the testimony of both sides. This un
warranted attack upon counsel for de
fendant certainly eeemed prejudicial
to the plaintiff's case and caused con
siderable comment unfavorable to Miss
Dickinson. ,
When court convened In the morning
Miss Dickinson went on the witness
stnnd to confute the testimony of all
of the defendants' witnesses. She testi
fied thnt every word In the letter
written to her brother In Los Angeles
was true. She presented a check to
show that she paid Dr. Hall for his
electrical treatment of her. She said
that Dr. Hellmnn swore to a filthy lie
when he accused her of drinking Intox
icants to excess. One time she called
him a rat because he was thrusting
himself upon her presence. She said
Dr. Heilman Is a Jackal, which Is a foul
beast of prey. She gave testimony In
rebuttal concerning what all of the wit
nesses of the defense hud sworn to,
She was about to be allowed to have
the stand when the Incident happened
thnt Is reported In the beginning of
this article,
Plaintiff's law Points.
The attorneys of the defense argued
on the law points Of the plaintiff's
counsel to the court and then an ad
journment was taken until this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. The law points of tlx.
plaintiff are as follows:
First It the Jury believe under all the
evidence that 4he plaintiff was sane on the
2Sth day of February, 1891, and that the
defendants with a view of having hor
taken to Dnnvlllo asylum, as an Insane
person, broke open the door of her room
and forcibly took her from samo to the
depot, and from there, against her will, by
some of the number she was taken to the
said asylum, then tho defendants would
be liable to pay 'to the plaintiff damages,
the results of their unlawful acts.
Second The measure of damages would
be tho plaintiff's losa of time from her
calling as lecturer, her loss from Inability,
If caused by tho acts of the defendants,
from securing employment In her calling,
any mental and physical pain she hus
suffered, und any Insult and Indignity that
have been put upon her, tho results of tho
defendants' acts.
Law Points of Defense.
The defendants' points were submit
ted to tho court and are as follows:
First If the plaintiff was mentally un
sound on Feb, 20, 1KU1, and by reason there
of was in danger of injuring herself or
others she might have been restrained
without a physician's certificate upon
grounds of humanity und rousonablo ne
cessity, and she cannot recover in this
uctlon.
Second If tho plaintiff was not Insane
on Ken. 2T, 1801 nevertheless If the defend
ants used no unnecessary force and hud
proliubln cuusa to believe her Insane, and
that her detention In a hospital wus neces
sary for hor protection or that of others,
she cunnot recover In this action.
Third If the defendants ucted undur cir
cumstances such as would have Induced u
man of ordinary Intelligence to have be
lieved hor Insune und requiring treatment
In a hospital they hud reasonublo and
probable cause fur their action, und If they
used only such force us her resistance
made necessary there can be no recovery
in this action.
Fourth Tho tworn statement of plain
tiff's uttemllng physician und of another
physician of over forty years' practice,
und of much experience with Insulin pa
tients, that they oxumlned tho plaintiff
and belluved her of unsound mind und her
removal to uu asylum necessary, was In
Itself reattouablo ami probablu cause to
the non-professloual attemlunts sutllelent
to justify them In placing the defendant
In uu usyliim with such force us her le
slstaiiee made necessary umt there cun Im
no recovery ugalnst them for such uc
tlon. Firth-lf the defendants had sufllctent
reason to believe the plaintiff ti lady of re
finement anil high diameter, and ulso
had Hiillleiciit reason to believe her guilty
of conduct, ut or shortly preceding her re
moval, which no such holy In tho pos
session of sound mind could bo guilty of,
those fuels would also constitute reuson
ulile nnd prouuble cuuse for belief in her
mental unsoundness nnd if her appear
ance was so wild and her words und con
duct such us to leud two physicians of
ample experience to fear personal vio
lence, her detention was proper und there
an bo no recovery.
Sixth The lunacy ucts of April 20, 18ii!,
nnd May H, 1SX3, being remedial, und there
fore to be construed liberally, und having
been compiled with by the defendants,
there cun be no recovery against them
for doing the act authorized thereby, viz.,
pluclug in an Insane asylum n person ul
leged to lie lusune.
Seventh These statutes, In placing upon
tho physicians the responsibility of de
termining the necessity for removal to un
asylum, thereby relieve the defendants
from such responsibility; und there cun bo
no recovery ugalnst them for any al
leged mistake or fault of the physicians
In the performance of their duties.
Eighth The uncontradicted evidence
being that Dr. Underwood did not partici
pate In the breaking open of the plaintiff's
door, nor in her removal, but only at
tended ns an examining physician and
signed tho' medical cerlilicute, there can
be no recovery against him In this ac
tion, hut as to him, the plaintiff must rely
on her separate suit against him for glv
Ing an alleged false certificate of Insan
ity now ponding In this court.
Ninth The removal of the plaintiff hav
ing been legalized by the certillcates of
two qualified physicians made upon tho
day of her removal; and there being no
evidence of malice or want of good faith
on the part of the defendants, or that the
force used was more than was necessary
by her determined resistance, there can be
no recovery In this action and verdict
should be for the defendants.
Tenth If plaintiff ran recover at all In
this action, the damages should be purely
conmensatory, and the fact of removal
to and detention nt un asylum, nor the
results merely of such removal and
detention, such as loss of time or
earning power or injury to her feelings
or health occasioned by her removal und
detention are not elements of damags,
which should be confined to compensa
tion for such excess of force. If any, as
was used In her removal beyond that
which her resistance made necessary. No
Intention to Injure the plaintiff being
shown, exemplary damages Bhould not be
awarded.

tho reorganisation of councils a week
