That Is Now oa Trial
GLXSTEK IS THE PLAINTIFF
Ue Is tho Assignee of the Dsfnaet Iastlta
tioa aad Seeks to Recover Asaoaat
lie Alleges Cashier Jessap
Owes the Bank.
Ex-Cashier George A. Jessup. of the
defunct Scranton City bank, and his
sureties ex-Judge W. H. Jessup, Dr.
B. H. Throop. and Mrs. George A. Jes
sup, are defendants in a ault In as
sumpsit called for trial yesterday in
court room No. t before Judge Mc
Pherson, of Harrisburg. The plaintiff
Is Assignee Joseph A. Gunster.
Major Everett Warren, Horace E.
Hand and W. H. Jessup. Jr., represent
the defendants as attorneys and Judge
Jessup and Justice Hand are also pres
ent taking an active part. The prin
cipal part of the examination of wit
nesses was made by Major Warren,
Attorneys 8. B. Price. . Charles H.
Welles and Edward Merrlfleld repre
sent the plaintiff. Mr. Welles opened
the case to the jury and said they pro
posed to show to the satisfaction of the
jury that certain amounts as follows:
$1,000. 11.800, 1100, $230, $1,000, $178, $2,000,
$634 and $1,600, realised on notes had
not been accounted for In the affairs
of the bank. Mr. Jessup, as cashier,
would be responsible for these sums,
it was contended.
The minutes of a meeting of the
board of directors of the bank held on
March 22, 1882, were offered in evi
dence to show the engagement of Mr.
Jessup as cashier and the fixing of his
bond at $2S,000. Next Assignee Gun
ster was called to ldefltlfy the min
utes, which he did. The bond was not
turned over to the assignee when he
took possession of the bank's papers
after the failure. He went to Dr.
Throop and naked for. the bond. The
doctor bp Id he had It once, but It dis
appeared, and he could not tell where
It could be found.
Secretary Did Not Know.
N. O. Goodman, who was secretary of
the board of directors In March, 1SS2,
was called to tell something about the
bond, but he was not present at tho
meeting when the bond was approved,
and did not know anything about It.
Eber Dimmick and Victor Koch were
called as witnesses, but they gave un
important testimony.
Dr. B. H. Throop was called as a
witness. He had possession of the
bond once, but while he was absent in
Europe, Mr. Jessup came to his office
one day and was given a packet of pa
pers, but he knew that the bond could
not be found in his paoers afterward.
Attorney Merrlfleld was the next to
testify. He was not attorney for the
bank in 1882, but he was often consulted
about legal matters. The object of his
testimony was to prove the contents of
the missing bond. It was brought to
him after it was signed, by Victor
Koch, who was then president of the
bank. He compared It with the bond
of Assignee Gunster, who was cashier
before Mr. Jessup, and It was word for
word with it, except the signature. The
plaintiff has the bond of ex-Cashier
Gunster, and by offering It in evidence
Proposes to show thi terms of Mr.
Tcssup's bond as cashier, because Mr.
f errlfield has testified that both bonds
vere exactly Identical as to the pro
visions In each.
Testimony of the Assignee.
The afternoon was spent with hearing
the testimony of Assignee Gunster in
relation to the accounts over which the
dispute is raised. A wagon load of
ledgers, cash books, entry dockets,
journals, etc., was brought Into court.
and much time was spent going over
Items and accounts. The plaintiff's
side of the case will occupy today, and
perhaps tomorrow.
Verdicts were rendered as follows:
For the plaintiff In the sum of $139.50
in the case of A. L. Spencer against Jo
seph Pendle and James Burke. For the
plaintiff in the sum of $123.16 in the case
of Patrick Kelley against John Smith.
The suit or Edward McDonnell
against Mrs. Patrick O'Hara for gro
ceries furnished to the family was tried
before Judge Edwards In the main
court room. Attorney George D. Tay
lor representee; tne piaintlnT and At
torney James Mahon. the defendant.
The bill amounted to $250. She claim
ed that her husband bought the gro
ceries. He Is now dead. The Jury
found a verdict but sealed It and will
hand it In this morning. The suit of
Katz Brothers against John Stout, an.
peal, was called for trial in the main
court.
In No. 3 court room the sheriff's In
terpleader suit of Miss Miriam Miller
against W. S. Reed was tried before
Judge Gunster, and a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff was returned by the
Jury. The defendant had a levy made
on the effects of her parents and among
the property were a horse and buggy
and certain articles of furnitufe which
belonged to her. The parents swore
that the outfit and the furniture In dis
pute were purchased with money that
she earned.

SUSAN RYAN'S CHOICE.
Ia Toss-l'p Between Pitiston aad the
Jail she Took the tatter.
Disappointed In love, penniless and
deserted, poor Susan Ryan, as she stood
before the magistrate's desk in police
court yesterday morning, was certainly
deserving of pity. There was a fine of
$7.50 against her for disorderly conduct
and In default she was about to be sent
up for thirty day a Chief Simpson
sympathised with her on account of her
forlorn condition and through his Inter
cession Alderman Millar agreed to dis
charge on condition that she would go
to Plttston, where she has a sister liv
ing. Susan would not hear to thls.how
ever. She vehemently declared that
she would go to jail first Chief Simp
son was determined that the woman
would not go to jail and tried first to
reason with her and afterwards to
frighten her into accepting the alder
man's generous terms.
Susan Would Not Go:
With the latter end In view he direct
ea Captain Edwards to convey ner back
to her cell to await the arrival of the
patrol wagon to take her to the county
jail. But Susan had had enough and to
spare of imprisonment and refused to
go back Into the cell. Captain Edwards
attempted to carry her thither, but
tripped and both fell to the uoor. The
woman set up such a screaming that It
aroused the whole building and soon
the station house was filled with city
officials and clerks.
Mayor Connell, who was among the
first to reach the scene of the disturb
ance, advised that no further effort be
made to coerce the woman, but to al
low her to have her own way until she
cooled down. This was done and after
a time she agreed to go to Plttston and
was furnished transportation and put
on the train for that place. . .
Said She Had Five Hundred Dollars.
She Is a woman of about 44 years of
age and Is not overly well balanced
mentally speaking. She claims to have
had $500 before she met George Shaw
cross, with whom. It will be remem
bered, Phe ran away to Wilkes-Barre
and took out a marriage license. Her
fiancee, she says, borrowed all her
money and left her In the station house.
Shawcross, It is said, was an English
nobleman, who, after squandering a
fortune of ten thousand pounds, came
to this country and has been roughing
It ever since. He Is at present em
ployed as cook at Whyte's hotel, Frank
lin avenue.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
William Fennessy's dramatic spec
tacle, "81aves of Gold," will receive its
first production In this city at the
Academy of Music to-night While
melodramatic and bordering on real
Ism.which may savor of the sensational,
"Slaves of Gold" Is said to be a creation
of exceedingly rational treatment.
Superb scenic environments add greatly
to the attractiveness of the play.
Throughout tho four scenes the artist
has made the most of the opportunities
afforded. The company Is one of excep
tional strength and Is headed by the
author, Elmer Grandln, and charming

On Saturday night "The Two Johns'"
company headed by J. C. Stewart and
Paul Dresser will be seen at the Acad
emy of Music. Of "The Two Johns,"
the Bridgeport, Conn., Dally Union
says: "The basis of the plot Is the old
stage favorite of mistaken identity, and
this brings about many amusing situa
tions In which the two heavy-weights
figure largely. The company is fairly
competent and Includes a quartette
whose excellent work was rewarded
with encore after encore. If you desire
a hearty, tingling laugh that will do
you good like a medicine, go and see
'The Two Johns' and their company In
their funny antics." ,

DISPUTE ABOUT CONTRACT.
Mrs. Mary Connell Says That It Was Not
Lived Up To.
Contractor Minor E. Worden, as
signed to Clarence M. Florey, by Attor
ney George L. Peck, yesterday brought
suit In assumpsit against Mrs. Mary
Connell, of Mlnooka, to recover the sum
of $1,651.41 with Interest from Oct. 30,
1895.
Three months ago Mrs. Connell let
the contract to Mr. Worden of a house
on the corner of Blrney avenue and
Sanders street. In the Twentieth ward.
The price agreed upon was $2,500, and
It was stipulated that the money would
be paid In instalments, as the work of
construction progressed.
When the house had been ropfed and
almost ready for the plasterers to be
gin work, Mrs. Connell stopped the con
tractor from going any further, alleg
ing that he was not living up to the
contract, and she refused to pay him
for any of the work he had done until
he should tear out certain material,
which was said by her not to be up to
the required standard.
The carpenters have not worked on
the house in a month, and Mrs. Con
nell Is taking steps to engage another
contractor.

third floor of the court house, ana an
investigation of the purpose and work
ings of the organisation should encour
age in any person a spirit of Interest
and support
Since the objects oi tne society were
recently put forward in an energetic
manner the collections or rare curios.
relics, books and the like has become
so extensive that space Is not available
for all the articles In the present rooms,
and It Is only a matter of time before
the absolute necessity of a building en
tirely uevoted to the society and its
collections la realised.
The words "history and . science,"
which appear In the society's title,
might create in the minds of many a
suggestion of something dry. The facts
are exactly opposite. The society may
never be likened to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art anu Natural history,
but It Is working along the same lines
as does the famous New York institu
tion, and the beginning Is not a small
one. An effort will be made especially
to perpetuate by a collection of writ
ings and objects the faets of the early
and present history of this region, but
any curio that wiu suggest or throw
llgnt upon scientific research will be
kept and exhibited.
An Interesting Cotleetion.
Even thus, early In the society's
career, one could very pleasantly spend
weeks among its many glass cases and
books. This comment will explain why
It Is impossible to enumerate even in
a general way the society's possessions.
If the visitor Is Interested in coal or coal
lands, or If he Is a mining engineer, he
will find much that he can study with
profit; If he Is a student, a merchant, a
professional man, or. In fact if he Is
anybody whose make-up contains the
possibility of thought and study, he will
be repaid by a visit to the rooms.
The curator, Charles LeRoy Wheeler.
has labored well in securing and classi
fying the collections. In another year
he could not properly finish the work
with the material now on hand, and for
this reason he is Interesting the mem
bers in the work and assigning them
duties in the performance of which
each movement is an education. Of
water and land shells alone there are
more than can be properly displayed
in the whole of the present quarters,
and this statement almost applies also
to the separate collections of ores, min
erals and birds. At no distant day a
list many be compiled of the donors and
donations and then It may be more
readily comprehended how valuable are
tne possessions.
Some Recent Acquisitions.
Acquisitions to the society's collec
tion -this week alone embrace a box
containing about sixty species of fos
sils and hair a dozen species of shells.
from Henry Moons, of Columbus, O.,
a gentleman nearly 90 years old, who
has been a collector for more than three
score and ten years, and gladly makes
the society this fine donation. Also
a box of about forty species of shells,
fossils and minerals from C, S. Hodg
son, of Albion Hill.
Congressman J. A. Scranton has also
remembered the society with fifty well
selected volumes, largely publications
of the Smithsonian Institution and
United States Geological Survey.
jresieraay s mall alone brought an
extensive check list of shells from Dr.
J. G. Cooper, curator Qf the California
