The "Lost Paradise" was selected for
the Initial performance, and happily,
too, for the reason that the varied num

trayal gave an opportunity to every
member of the company to appear to
eood advantage.
The clay has been seen here before
several times, tut always appenls to
the people of Seranton, because It deals
wii'li replies of strife between capital
and nfcor. which, however, are mat
ters of history past and forgotten nnd
not current here. Some clever bits of
acting and dialogue are given by su
perlntendent of tho works, Reuben
Warren, whose sympathies run with
the workmen, and Ralph Standish, who,
as one of the owners of the mills, at
temipts to rule with an Iron hnnd. Miss
Ethel Tucker's presence In all of these
scenes between employer and employe
carries them to very strong climaxes,

TOE NEW PARSONAGE.
Action Taken by Congregation of the
First Presbyterian church.
The question of building the First
PreFibyUiirlan church parsonage along
side the proiKised new church, at Madi
son avonue and Olive street, was dis
cufsed by a meeting of the congre
gation last night. An alllrmattve con
sideration of the matter had been made
by the new 'building oommi'titee, and the
board of trunu-ea, but the congregation
was found to 'be divided, and a com
promise action was the result of the
meeting.
C. C. Mattes was chosen cIvaM-man,
and W. J. Hand, secretary. A brief
prayer, pertinent to the business of
the gathering, was made 'by the pastor,
Rev. Dr. Jamca McLeod. -Mr. Mattes
stated the purpose of the meeting
ns being to determine the parsonage
site, and to provide means for raising
the build-Ins fund, the major portion of
which would be created by the Fale
of -the old property for $106,000. The
toller Fubjeot was not considered.
Alfred Hand offered the following
resolution: "That the -parsonage ho
built on the lot already purchased by
the congregation." A. W. Dickson was
the c.hli f opponent of the resolution,
and fourteen memibera voted with him,
but "the resolution received twenty-five
affirmative votes.
Before adjourning, the trustees were
Instructed to txiMclt subscriptions be
f.ire Jan. 1, to pay the $4,000 deficit In
the church nccounifs.
Mr. Dickson's motion then prevailed,
that ''the 'building committee defer
building the pars.mage until further
Inttructcd by the congregation, and
that a parsonage be rented during the
Interval."
The plans selected by the committee
were displayed at the meeting. They
are by Architect L. A. Holden, of this
city, and -Siow a magnificent stone
structure of -artistic design with a
seating capacity for over 1.500 persons,
and which Is to cot-t $150,000, exclusive
of land. The main entrance is to be
on Olive street. The parsonage will
be svtunted on the southern end of the
lot facing the avenue. It will cost S15.-
(W0. The let was oonglu last spring for
JH0.000.
RICH WINDOW DISPLAY.
Wslchcl & .Millar llnvo Attractively Ar
ranged Their Show Windows.
The iump and siiude fad in nil Its
beauty Is exempli nVd In a most nr
tlsllc window display at Weiehel &
Millnr's, 1H4 Wyoming avenue. The
firm 'Ii conducting a "lainp opening,'
and one of the mo.-:t attiactive features
Is the exquisite arrangement of the
two street display windows, one In a
delicate shade of pink and the other
In yellow.
All of yesterday shoppers and pedes-
tivans Ktupneu to view the windows,
arid, many ventured the opinion that
the display Is one of the most artistic
evtr seen in Seranton. The window
trimmer showed his good Judgment In
selfctlng flitch popular colors as pink
and yellow, w'iili.'h, with the 'beautiful
dislgns In lamps of metal and ware,
make a very rich effect.
The "laimp opening" Is not a sale,
so the firm rays, but Is to give oppor
tunity, until Wednesday night, of view
ing one of the newest and most up-
to-date displays of Its kind ever seen
ouk-'Ide the large t-Hits. Visitors nrc
expected and are welcome, though they
will pot be Importuned to buy.
MALONEY'S RAFFLE.
That Is the Attraction Offered to the
Patrons of Davis' Theater.
In looking for a name for a con
glomeratlori of specialties plvon at
Davis theater yesterday, the men who
Jetled the thing together selected
'IMaloney's IHullle" for the reason that
no raffle Is held. "M-ahiney's Razzle"
would be better. The show Is led 'by
Miss -Maggie Weston, an Irish com
medienne. In the first period twixt
curtain rise and fall a young lady with
the dainty name "Seabreeze" sang
(several songs.
Toward Mie close of the performance
prime really good things were given
The Fulton brothers are very clever.
With Al Mayers the two young men did
an amusing athletic specialty. It was
worth tihe price of admission. The rest
of the company, with the exception of
Carlotta and John P. Stewart, are not
worthy of special mention. The per
formance will be related today and
tomorrow with afternoon matinees.
HUNTING THEIR PARENTS.

ANOTHER $50,000 DAMAGE SUIT
Seranton Tf action Company Is Defendant
and (icorgo W. Potter, of Dunmoro,
Plaintifr-Judge Lynch Is Trying
the Case- Four Cases Settled.
Judge John Lynch, of Wllkes-Harre,
ts presiding at the trial of the JjO.uoo
trcspubs suit of co re W. Potter, of
ounmore, against the Seranton Trac
tion company. This will be the lust
week of the present term of common
pleas court. Judge Ounster Is holding
court In No. 3 and Judge Edwards in
the main room.
The iPotter suit 'is a very Interesting
one and is attracting much attention.
The plaint'lff is represented by Attor
neys I. H. illurns, George S. Horn and
ex-Judge Ward, and the company by
Major Everett Warren, Judge Jessup
and Horace iE. Hand. Mr. Potter Is u
butcher. On March 30, 1SD3, be was
driving along Hlakely street, Dunmore.
The "lower wagon" or "ladder wagon"
used by the Traction company in re
pairing the wires was In the street
near the Corners, und the plaintiff's
horse became frightened and run away.
He claims that the runaway was
caused by the noise and confusion
made by the linemen. His right leg
was broken in three places, his hip was
dislocated, and his left jaw was so
bruised and wounded that it affected
his left eye and he has since been sub
ject to excruciating bodily pain. He
was confined to -his room for several
months.
"Mr. Potter was on the stand the most
of the day giving evidence regarding
the accident and to what extent he
has been Injured In a financial way by
virtu-,' of the neglect of -his 'butchering
business as the result of being unable
to leave his bed. He swore that the
year before the accident happened to
mm ne earned from Jl.OflO to 81.500 and
has not been nble to make that much
since. His contention for damages is
more for the bodily pain suffered than
the injury to his business.
The Verdict in tho Roberts Suit.
The Jury In the trespass suit of Mrs.
Mary Roberts against the Delaware
and Hudson Canal company for $50,000
damages for the death of her husband,
returned a verdict of $S,3o:'.SS In her
favor. This is the second largest ver
dict for a life recorded In this county.
The other one was that of Mrs.' Mar
garet Hughes against the same com
pany and whose husband was killed at
the same crossing. iMrs. Hughes got a
little over JU.OuO. Reasons for u new
trial will be filed In a day or two by the
defendant's attorneys. A verdict In the
rase of Marshwciod Jordan against K.
1. Collins, administrator of the estate
of Jacob A. Collins, and others was
taken in favor of the plaintiff for $21 2.0.
In the main court room the case of
F.dward Mulhollnnd against the Rush
broolc Wuter company of Jerniyn was
placed on trial. The plaintiff is ri-jire-rented
'by Attorneys Henry L. Mulhol
land and K. H. iHouse and the defend
ant by Atorneys C. H. Welles and S. 1!.
Price. The jury went up to look over
the premises Hnd the testimony will be
heard today. The defendant took pos
session of the plaintiff's land by virtue
of the right of eminent domain nnd
the question for the Jury Is to decide
how much the plaintiff Is entitled to.
Judge trtiiister heard one case, that
of the Universal Fashion company of
New York against John H. Ladw'is;,
proprietor of the Four Cent store. The
nmount of money Involved In the suit
Is about $.'.00. O. H. Soper was attor
ney for the plaintiff, and C. W. Daw
son for the defendant. The allegation
Is that the Fashion company agreed to
constitute Mr. I.adwlg ugent for Lack
awanna county in consideration of the
sum of $.')00. Mr. Ladwlg refused to pay
that amount on the ground tlmt the
fashion plates sent to him were not up
to the standard. The case went to the
Jury at .1.30 and lit was out at adjourn
ment deliberating.
