fords .Mr. Reed splendid opportunities

fined comedy upon the stage at the
present time. Mr. Reed will be sup
ported by an efficient company, promi
nent among- the members being Miss
Isadore Rush, formerly of W'illces
Barre. The Hustler on Saturday Night.
That rare combination of play, pan
tomime and poetry entitled "The Hust
ler," is underlined for an engagement
in this city on Saturday evening at the
Academy, and worshipers at the shrine
of Momus are consequently in a state
f expeotancy. The popularity of lltrht
entertainment such as Is provided by
this company never seems to diminish
and each year its followers seem to In
crease in numbers. "The Mustier" has
always been numbered among the fore
most few of this class of entertain
ment, and this season brings to us a
host of novelties, together with the
many good things it has heretofore
supplied and with an entire new sec
ond act.

money to mane it perfect in detail
Over $15,000 has been spent on scenery

HIS CASE A PUZZLER.
Man Supposed to Have Been Struck by
' Train Is Seriously III.
At 3 o'clock yesterday morning Lieu
tenant Davis heard a sound as if a
man had fallen in one of the central
station cells, and, 'hurrying thither,
discovered that Barney White, who
was supposed to have been struck by
a Delaware and Hudson train, was in
a fit. Dr. Fulton, the police surgVon,
was summoned and did what he could
to relieve the sufferer, but had little
hopes of his recovery. Contrary to his
expectations, he found him much Im
proved when day dawned, and now he
Is puzzled to know just what the man's
trouble is.
The hospital physicians pronounced
him a plain drunk, but the long con
tinuance of 'his stupor gives rise to
the suspicion that he may have been
struck by the train or else is suffering
from something more than alcoholism.
Last night he spoke a little, and gave
a negative shake of his head when
asked if a train had struck him.
IT'S OX THE RISE.
Indoor Base Hall League Starts on a
lluslncss-l.ikc Unsis.
A number of representatives of the
recently organized Scranton Indoor
Base Hall league met lust night In the
Young 'Men's Christian association
building and continued the arrange
ments for conducting a business-like
series of games this winter among
clubs representing the four sections of
the city.
It was decided to have the open
ing game played next Wednesday be
tween the South and West Side teams
on the West Side. The hall In which
the game will be played cannot now be
announced as several are under consid
eration. IHughey Jennings, the famous
Baltimore shortstop, who Is now at
home In Avoca, will probably umpire
the game, and may be assisted by
Third Baseman MclJraw, of the Balti
more club, who is visiting at Jennings'
home.
The second gamei will 'be played
Thursday or Friday, Oct. 31 or Nov. 1.
between the North Knd and central
city clubs In the Thirteenth regiment
armory,
Hty-kiws and a constitution were
adopted, finances arranged and other
business transuded which will start
the league on a sound and sensible
basis. The schedule committee was
continued and will make Its report at
a meeting to be held Tuesday night.
Following are the names of candi
dates for positions on three of the
clubs: Central city, Thomas Ollleran,

aid the North Knd young men In se
lecting their team.
Any reputable young men with a
knowledge of the game of base ball
are invited to try for positions on any
team or to participate In the practice
Play.
IT'S NOT SETTLED.
Scranton Eastern League Franchise Not
Positively Sold to tall kiver-Local
Men May Buy It Yet.
The base ball situation Is featured
by a slight change. It had been an
nounced that the Fall River parties
would yesterday be nutllled that their
offer of I2.S50 f'r the Eastern league
franchise would be accepted. This
was the decision of a meeting of the
Scranton association held Tuesday
night.
Yesterday, however, the Fall River
people had an Intimation given them
by letter from this city that the sal--could
not be consumated until later in
the week, possibly on Saturday. This
change of procedure came about some
time between Tuesday nlfht and yes
terday afternoon, and the Inference is
that local buyers have not abandoned
hope of securing the franchise at a
reasonable figure.
To a Tribune reporter Inst night
President Belts said he had resolved to
Sell 'his interest In the association pro
vided the Fall River deal was consu
mated. and the association Joined the
State league. He ma le this statement
not as a possibility but as n fact in case
of the conditions mentioned.
A dispatch from Wllkesvllarre to
The Tribune last niirht states that the
reports that the Wllkes-Barre base ball
club will be In the Pennsylvania State
league next season were denied yes
terday by President Bogert, and the
directors of the W Ilkes-Barre club.
Wllkes-Barre Is In the Eastern league
to stay, declared the dispatch, and
whatever action Scranton may take
will have no effect upon Wllkes-Barre.

tition In court yesterday praying for an

ORE PRACTICAL SERMONS
Homer Greene Made is Eariest Plea
for Them at Archdeaconry Meeting.
ABOUT 1XX0CEXT AMUSEMENTS
Kev, W. E. Daw. of Towanda, Discussed
Uow Far the Church Should Inter
est Itself in the Social Life
of the People.
The session of the Archdeaconry In
Grace church Honeshale, Tuesday
evening opened with prayer and the
first address was made by Homer
Greene on "The Church from the Lay
man's Point of View." 'Mr. Ureeiie
said among other things that the clergy
should In their sermons deal more with
the practical things of this life; preach
more against the social evils and di
rect their attacks from the pulpit more
against the sin'ful things that are
transpiring about us than they are at
present doing, ile pleaded for clear,
P tactical sermons on the existing evils
of the day rather than treatises and
discourses on theological subjects that
the ordinary minds were unable to
grasp.
In answering the next question,
"How fur should the church interest
Itself in the social life of the people,"
Rev. W. K. Daw, of Towanda, Bald
that the church, which was the body of
Christ, should go Just as far as ha
went. lAs lie ate at the table of the
poor and the rich, the Just and the un
just, and of slum i s so should the
church Interest itself. (James, dances
and amusements, he said were harm
less, unless carried to excess. The
church could go Just as tar as Christ
went and no farther.
Jtev. Abram Urban, of St. Mark's
church, Duntnore, read an excellent
paper on "The .Necessity of a Higher
Standard of Scholarship Among the
Clergy." As the people had advanced in
scholarship and learning, he said, so
was It necessary fur the clergy of to
day to be more advanced In order to In
terest and instruct 'their hearerj.
The attendance at the Sunday school
Institute wjs not very large, but the
deficiency In attendance was made up
for In enthusiasm and interesting ad
dresses and discussions. A great inttiiy
visitors were present. A. C Llndsav

. IN ARGUMENT COURT.
Casea That Came I'p for Consideration
Before the Judges.
The first case heard in argument
court yesterday was on the rule to take
oft the nonsuit granted in the case of
J. W. Walsh, executor, against the
Dwelling House Insurance company.
Attorneys John P. Kelley and M. E.
McDonald asgued for the rule, and At
torneys 31. W. Lelser. of Lewisburg,
and Lemuel Amerman against the rule.
(Mrs. Mary Walsh, of Dunmore, In
sured her property with the company
for a length of time that 'the policy
would not expire until Jan. 3, 1S95. But
she died early in m2, appointed her
son, J. W. Walsh, executor of the
estate, and in June, 1892, he notified
H. K. Paine, the Scranton agent of
the company, of these facts. He alleges
that Mr. Paine told liim it was all
right. The property burned down
subsequently, but the company refused
to pay the Insurance, claiming that by
the death of Mrs. Walsh the policy be
came null and void. The executor
brought action In assumpsit, and when
the case went to trial, the court grant
ed a nonsuit on the ground that tho
death of the woman had canceled the
policy.
The case was argued until noon an 1
law and authorities were extensively
cited. Court took the papers.
The case of Lindsay & Van Loren
against the Wayniart Water company,
exceptions to the referee's report, was
argued. The suit was to recover laui).
Attorney C. Comegys appeared for tho
exceptants and Attorneys Patterson &
Wilcox for the defendants.
The certiorari case of Attorney C. H.
Soper against Grant Cutter was briefly
argued by Mr. Siper. Mr. Cuttt-r was
a witness In a case where Mr. Soper
was one ot me panics in the suit. The
man against whom the verdict was
rendered did not iay the costs, and
Mr S per, for that reason, could not
pay the witnesses he subpoenaed their

before Alderman Fldler. of the Serond
wa'rt, and got 'Judgment for $4. Attor-
i-ey toper not appearing. Soper took
