' GUS HEECiE'S NEW PLAY.
At the Academy, "A Yenulne (icntlomon"
Is deceived with Favor.
The favor won last season by Gus
Heee In Swedish dialect comedy has led
tu the production on a generous scale
of a new play treating of the Scandi
navian emigrant, and culled "A Yenu
Ine Yentleman." As presented at the
Academy last evening before an appre
ciative audience, this interesting melo
drama disclosed skilful construction,
capable acting and a lavish use of
acinic and mechanical stage acces
sories. The play is naturally built so
as to display Its hero, Sven Hanson, In
a favorable light, but while he easily
retains popular sympathy and ap
proval, there is a felicitous blending of
comedy, pathos, racial contrasts and
up-to-date music and stage "business,"
thus varying the menu In a manner to
please all tastes.
With the exception of Mr. lloegp,
whose admirable mimicry of the Swed
ish character does not need mention,
the best acting of the evening was done
ly Merrl Osbourne. In the soubrette
role of Jessie, Sveng sweetheart. She
also sang a number of character songs
In- a manner which won for her warm
applause. The remainder of the com
pany was competent and the perform
ance as a whole gave excellent satisfac
tion. .
AN UNDUTIFUL SON.

ITp In Johnson's Patch the neighbors
were greatly annoyed by William
Palmer, who. In a drunken fury, wns
Koing about like a roaring lion the past
three days. He was so violent that
his ungovernable rage made it danger
ous and risky for W. E. Palmer, his
father, to cross 'his path, the parent
seemingly being an especial object of
attack.
Young Palmer got so drunk yester
day that he could not walk and he was
.-caded Into a dray wagon, taken to
the county Jail and there deposited on
the authority of a commitment, made
out by Justice of the Peace Cooney, of
Xunmore. ' The prisoner was released
not long ago from Jail after serving a
tc'rtn for threatening to kill his mother,

dered an award yesterday of Jlfomo in
favor or Attorney Ita.H. Hums against
Attorney Cornelius Smith aiul John ti.
Jennings In the famous libel recently
tiU d of record by .Mr. Smith In the ullice
of Frothoiuitary Oreen, of tho state
supreme court.
As is wvll known, Mr. Jennlnss was
held to ball in the sum of VM to appear
at court on the tfliurgp of perjury, for
not being able to substantiate the
charge of jury packinr against leputy
Pruthoiitnry Myron Kasson, after mak
ing an attldavlt containing theiallega
tion. Attorney Smith applied to the
Supreme court for a writ of peremptory
niaiulamus to issue and compel Jii'luc
Aivhbald, of this court, to release ftlr.
Jennings on his own recognizance, a
thing that Judge Archbald refused
point blank to do on the day he episode
happened in court.
The contents of the paper book were,
according to Attorney John H. Kelly,
counsel for air. Ilurns, bristling with
libel In every line. Almost every otllcial
that had aught to do wfclr tho Jeniiings
Ix blgh Valley trespass suit, the Jutlne.
the attorneys, the deputy prothouutnry
and the sheriff, were charged with hav
ing done dire things to thwart Justice
and circumvent the principles of equity
and fair play that a verdict against the
plaintiff might be reached.
Attorney Hums brought suit for $'0,
Oik) damages by reason of the publica
tion of the libelous book. . The first and
only hearing before the arbitrators was
held last Saturday. Neither '.fr. Smith
nor ftlr." Jennings were present, nor
were they represented by counsel. The
award of the arbitrators will be en
tered ns Judgment and a Hen filed
against the property of 'Messrs. Smith
and Jennings. Mr. Hums has not been
so nnxious to get a verdk-t of large
damage as to have a refutation of the
charges against him established and
put on record.
Verdict for Albert llenao.
After court opened yesterday morn
ing the jury In the trespass case of
Albert Hen tie against the People's
r'lrect Hallway company filed into
court and returned a vnrdlct In favor
of the plaintiff fur V". Mr. lien lie
sought to recover Ji.UOO damages fur the
death of his 2-year-old daughter.
Grace, who was killed by a trolley car
on West Lackawanna avenue on June
26. lS'Jl.
Hefore Judge Arch bald the closing
arguments were made In the ejectment
suit of Charles Wagner against T. II.
Hray. The verdict was In favor of tho
plaintiff for the land In dispute. 'Ma
jor Kverett Warren made the closing
argument for the defense in the case
of 'Henry A. Depuy against Jesse A.
Hrady and Attorney I. H. Hums ar
gued for the plaintiff. The case was
given to the Jury at 11. SO. and at
o'clock last evening It agreed upon a
verdict and sealed It. This morning It
will be handed to the court.
Nonsuits were taken In the cases of
A. M. Ginn against Jonas Hrandt and
Patrick McGuIre against Jonas Brandt
and 'Martin Mcllale-. In both cases the
plaintiffs failed to put lnun appear
ance. Suits Against tho Prudential.
Mrs. Anna O'Giady, of the West
Side., was the plaintiff lu two actions
aguiinst the Prudential Insurance com
pany, which were tried 'be-fore Judge
Gunster in the main court room yes
terday afternoon. The plaintiff seeks
to recover $221.25 Insurance upon the
life of her mother, with Interest from
April 23, ltsDl. The defendant resists
payment on the ground that the In
sured fraudently, represented her age
to be 62 years, when. In reality, she
was much over "0 years of age.
The rules of the company prohibit
the Insurance of persons over 7U year.i
of age. but there was no reference to
this rule In the policy, while there was
a clause making the policy incontestl
ble after due premiums toad been paid
lor three years. Attorneys J. :Alton
Davis and John R. Kdwards repre
sented Mrs. O'Grady and Attorneys
Hulslander & Vosburg the company.
The case was given to the jury at :t.4.",
and in less than half an hour it agreed
upon a verdict and sealed it until this
morning.
In court room No. 3 before Judpre
Archbald the action of Peter Conroy,
of Dunmore, against 'Mrs. N. F. Smith,
wife of Charles K. Smith and I. T.
Keene, was on trial when court ad
journed. Conroy was a sub-contractor
on a summer residence at Klmhurst
for Mrs. Smith and sues to recover $41,
which he alleges Is still due him for
the work he dirt. The defense Is that
he did not properly perform his work.
Against the llorongh of llliikcly.
A suit against the borough of Blake
ly was on trial in court room No. 2 be
fore Judge Searle yesterday afternoon.
Thomas Monahan was the plaintiff,
and he sues to recover damages for In
jury which he alleges was done to his
property by the construction of a cul
vert. 'Monahan owns three lots In the
borough which he declares have been
rendered almost valueless by the con
struction of the culvert. It causes
them to be covered with water almost
continuously. The lots, he says, are
worth $150 apiece.
He Is represented by Attorney I. H.
Burns and T. V. Powderly, and Ward
& Horn appear for the borough. The
latter's case was opened to the Jury
Just before court adjourned.

8c ronton. Pa., Sept. 19, 1SS5.
Flanagan r o'lloro:
lHar Sirs rnderstanding that In your
contract with the city to construct sewers
In section "A" of the Fifth sewer district
you agree to rely wholly on the collection
of sewer assessments for your pay, I
wish to notify you. on behalf of a number
of property owners in this district, lint
they consider the assessments unjust and
illegal and propose to contest the collec
tion of the same. In this connection I
refer you to the recent case of Wiiman
vs. the city of Reading, decided 111 the
supreme court, and reported In 10S Pa.,
pae :?.'!.
I sfnd you this notice so that In nny
litigation that may occur In the attempt
to collect1 the sewer chilnis you cannot al
lege that we stood by and allowed the
work to be done without signifying our
Intention to contest the collection of as
sessments which we believe to be wholly
without warrant of law. Yours, etc.

TEST TO SATISFACTORY
Boata Hate Glass Muchine Dcmoa
btratcs What It Cai Do.
ACCIDENT MARKED THE PLATE
It Was the Third Time Sack an flveat
Occurred lari( the Test, but Never
theless the Possibilities or Machine
Were Shown Yesterday.
Ftr the third time nn accident In
tervened yesterday to prevent an en
tirely successful test of the Ho nt a Plate
i;ians process, but notwithstanding this
third u?gravaling d'isapMlittme nt, the
trial .slabli'lied beyond the least sem
Ida nov of doubt tin new machinery a:
designed by the Inventor 1s perfect ii
every respect and fully capable of do
ing all that Is vhilmed for It.
As far as the process Itself was con
ci-rncd there never has l-en any ques
tion of Its efficacy. Hefcre the com
Iany was formed IMr. Honta sntlslie
all interested that his ytem was ei
Mrely practicable. And the test, whlc
was three times begun, was vlrtuall
only a formal affair for the satlsfactli.
of the Flock holders,, so the falliu
causes nothing more than a trlllini? a
noyance.
The Series of Accidents.
The first test was unsuccessful owli.
to overflowing of a venscl of hot ulass
an' error of the workmen. The secom
failure was due to the negllgemv of tin
mat'hinsts in fuillng to bolt the turn
Ing plate, which, when revolved to .
vertical position, slid off its bed am
broke the ftlass plate when it vva:
rrearlng compb'tiou. Yesterday every
thing went rtnoothly until the plate ;i
almost llnishtd, when a corner w.i:
knocked off by a collision with the d.ioi
of the tiven.
This ac.-ldent did not materially In
terfere with the tvs '. but prevented tin
making of a peifict plate such as wns
Intended. Inasinui.ti as thire Is nn offer
of JIO.WNi for the first lierfi it plate
manufactured, 'Mr. Honta, It can be
well In lieved. w is n' t a lit tle aggra
vated by yesterday's disappointment.
The plate which was made yesterday
wos, of course, the largest ever manu
factured. Hy the old-time processes
measurement by inches was sufficient
to denote the size of the glass. The
Initial Honta plate made yesterday
measured S feet by 10 feet, and the
characters pictured thereon were three
quarters life size.
Lincoln and the Cabinet.
The representation -was that of Lin
coln and his cabinet. At the distance of
UK) feet the figures Flood out distinct
ami clear, having the appearance of a
group of marble statues.
The stiH'kholders, who, undaunted by
previous disappointments, assembled
nt the plant In 'Moosic to witness yes
terday's test were thoroughly satisfied
and highly gratlllcd at the successful
outcome of the trial.
Kverythlng Is now ready for actual
operations, and In the course of a few
days work will be begun on th.' many
orders In hand.
