by Alderman John.
William Saul, of Price street, was
sent to the county Jail last evening by
Alderman Owen D. John, of the Fourth
ward, because he refuse' J to pay 30
cents poor tax. It is a case In which
there is eomotihlng under the surface.
R. J. Thomas is the collector of the
ward, and Saul alleges that he did not
get notice from Thomas at the proper
time and refused to pay the tax hecauao
$1,12 penalty was added to It. The col
lector made out a commitment and
made affidavit to It (before Alderman
John. The latter sent the constable
after Saul and when the prisoner was
arraigned at the hearing he steadfastly
refused to pay. The law provides that
one so offending can be sent to Jail, and
accordingly Saul was sent up.
He Is a well-known resident of the
West Side. To the 30 cents levied
against Saul the penalty of $1,12 was
added; Shore Is now an added sum of $2
for turnkey fees and It will coat the
prisoner 25 cents each dav for hl
board at Hotel demons.
He Is credited with saying that he will
stay in jail until the sea gives up Its
dead before he pays the penalty.

Some of tho Plays That Are Billed to
Appear in City Thuntcrs.
Chauncey Olcott will present his new
play "The Irish Artist," at the Acad
emy of Music this evening. In the rolj
of Morris Cronin Mr. Olcott glve3 us a
specimen of what may be done in re
fined Irish comedy. The character is
portrayed turc to life and his interpre
tation of the role is liko a glimpse of
Ireland Itself. Mr. Olcott Is a pains
taking actor, and a tenor singer of such
powers as one rarely hears outside of
grand opera. "The Irish Artist" Is a
rarely good poduction. All of the char
acters have been cssignd to tho most
capable players nnd are in competent
hands. The costuming has Dccn at
tended to with reference to historical
correctness and the scenery used is not
only appropriate but a triumph of the
scenic artist s skill.
Cfosy I'itscrulJ Tonight.
Manager Chniics Frohman presents
to the laughter-loving public of Scran
ton his latest comedy success, "The
Foundling," nt the Frothlngham to
night. "The Foundling" enjoyed a suc-
cc-asful tun of nearly two hundred
nights at Holt's theater. New York,
The piece has more of a plot than most
farces. A young man of 25, moving in
good society, BUdd-'nly hears that he
has no parents, and that ho may turn
out to be a foundling. This possibility
causes his future mother-in-law, a very
exacting person, to break off a match
with her charming daughter. While
the young man is endeavoring to ex
plain, another lady claims him for her
husband, in order to escape matrimony
with her cousin, a Billy and vulgar fel
low. When the mother of the young
man'3 sweetheart hears he has a wife.
she tells him she doulitu his story of
his parentage. She insists that the
Btory was invented to get rid of her
daughter. Everybody 1b miserable,
but no one more so than tho supposed
"foundling." Of course in tho last act
all complications arc explained. The
young man finds that he not only had
parents, but that both of them were
responsible. The company to present
tho comedy Is the same efficient organi
zation seen during the great run in the
metropolis nnd embraces Messrs.
Thomas Burns, P. Miller Kent, Charles
W. Butler, George Schaeffer, F. Sol
dene Powell, W. B. Barnes, nnd the
Misses Frances Stevens, Stella Za
noni, Clara Baker Rust, Maggie Hol
loway Fisher, Jane Stetson, Maggie
Fielding and the famous dancer, Cissy
Fitzgerald, who appears as a music hall
artiste. Miss Fitzgerald was the fash
ionable rage last winter In New York,
where her dancing proved a revelation.
"The Foundling" will bo preceded by
Augustus Thomas' one-act play, "The
Man Upstairs."
. Shore Acres Thursday and Friday.
"Shore Acres" is a nlay of the right
sort. Its naturalism Is not tainted
with the morbidness common to Zola,
or the minuteness of Ibsen. Its senti
ment anneals to man's finer Instincts
and Its lessons are vital. Tiu char
acters Mr. Heme has Introduced in this
New England Idyl are all true to life,
and they cannot fall to prove Interest
ing ana entertaining to all natrons of
the drama. Tho production of "Shore
Acres" during the coming week at the
Academy of Music Thursday and Fri
day evenings will be similar in every
detail to tnat seen here last season.

tions of the cantiact with the Water
company.
A Din overy Was Made.
Some tX-ne befcre the beginning of the
EiUt the officers of the Soranton Gas
and Water company discovered that
water had for years been taken from
their mains for purposes other than
those tpeclfled In the contnaat between
the Tarties, and suit wus brought
against the LUckawunina Iron and Coal
company to ot'ta'in payment for the
water, surreptitiously itaken during a
period of ten years.
The amount cJuimed was $91,000. An
action was at-io tMVujht against the
Uacka'Wanna Iron and Steel conijiany
fur water taken from January, 1891, to
tiae t.'cne of the beginning of the suit.
As the Scranton das and Water com
pany threatened to shut off the water
unless the la.st mentioned company's
bill was paid a settlement by the pay
ment of $8,000 by the Steel company
was affected. Thereupon that suit was
discontinued.
The Lackaivvanna Iron and Ccal com
pany detOd-ed to earnest the claim
made on them, and at the November
term of court last year the case was
tried. There was a grea t array of legal
talent. Mho Water comipany being rep
resented by Attorneys I. H. Burns and
Lemuel Amenr.an, and the Iron nnd
Oat company by Attorneys John G.
Johnson, of Philadelphia; W. W. Wal

HarrlE'lJurg, amd Joseph O'Brien, of this
city. A verdict was rendered in favor
of the plaintiff for $27,600, and subse
quently an appeal was taken to the
supreme count by the Iron and Coal
company.
Argued Bcforo Supreme Court.
In February last the matter was
argued before the supreme court, and
a few moroths later a decision was
handed down sustaining the contention
of t he Water company, that the Lack
awanna Iron and Ooal company had
no right to use water for purposes
otha-r than those specified In the con
tract. The court 'held, however, that
the statute of limitations barred re
covery for a period exceeding six years,
and the case was sen t 'back here to be
retried in accordance with the terms of
tfhis decision. The application of the
