CHANGE OF VENUE ASKED
Depositions oa the Jennings Applica
tion Heard in Arbitration Room.
POUR WITNESSES EXAMINED
Their Testimony Will . Be presented to
the Court to Sustain Mr. Smith's
Contention That a Fair Trial
Cannot lie Had Here.
Attorney Cornelius Smith and his
client, John G. Jenlngs, of Mlnooka, are
infinitely weary of Lackawanna county
court trials and they desire to be al
lowed a chance of venue In the case
wherein Mr. Jennings is plaintiff and
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company,
defendant. The action is for compen
satory damages for the loss of his son's
services through the injuries he sus
tained at Mud Run In the accident on
Oct 10, 18SS.
The case was once tried here and the
jury disagreed. The second time It was
called for trial, one of the jurors. Super
intendent John H. Brooks, of the Mead
ow Urook silk mill, after he had been
sworn, arose and asked tho permission
of the court to be excused. He had a
biased sentiment against the ense from
all he had read about it and felt that
he could not do Justice to the defendant.
He wa3 withdrawn and tho case was
continued.
The third time it came up for trial
Dr. C. M. Kelley, the most important
witness for the plaintiff, was not pres
ent. He had been plnylnj tag with the
deputy sh. -riffs and constables who
went to Equlmmk to serve the sub
poenas on him.
The fourth time Mr. Jennings got In
trouble by making charges in an affi
davit against officers of the court. ' The
affiant was held for perjury and the
case was relegated to the statu quo list,
limns Cnse nn Ontarowtli.
One of the ramlflcaMons of the charge
of perjury against Mr. J.nnlngs was
the famous libel suit of Attorney I. H.
Burns against Mr. Smith. The details
of it are of recent date and do not re
quire repeating.
In the nrWtrntlon room yesterday
afternoon depositions were taken before
Attorney C. C. Donovan acting as com
missioner on the rule to have the Jen
nings' suit tried in some other county.
Attorney Smith represented the plain
tiff and Major Everett Warren the
company.
Four depositions were taken. The
first was thnt of Michael King, of
Mlnooka. His uiunlon was that it Is
impossible for Mr. Jennings to get a
fair trial In this county. John Heffron,
of Mlnooka, was the second; he blamed
the newspapers for creating a senti
ment against the Jennings case.
Major Warren asked him If the public
opinion was not against the lawyer
and not tho cnt". Hebron agreed that
was so, but he said the newspapers
were all wrong In the manner they
treated Messrs. Jennings and Smith.
Anthony Cuslck, of Mlnooka, was
the third. His opinion was that Jen
nings ousrht to get a fair trial.
"Not what he ought to get; but can
he get It?" said Mr. Smith vehemently.
Would Mnvs Nothing More to Say.
"Well, I'll have nothing more to say,"
said Mr. Cuslck, leaving the stand.
Mr. Smith had to coax him back.
Mr. Cuslck then said he believed that
there Is too much prejudice existing In
this county against Mr. Jennings to In
sure him a fair and Impartial trial
Martin P. Judge was the fourth. His
opinion is that there is too much biased
sentiment against the plaintiff that he
may have a fair trial In this county.
The hearing was adjourned until Fri
day afternoon at 2 o'clock. These de
positions will be presented to court In
support of the argument for a change
of venue.

Board of Associated Charities Now Try

At a recent meeting of the board of
associated charities a suggestion that a
permanent nurse be employed found
favor with the members and a commit
tee with full powers to act was appoint
ed to look into the advisability of trying
the experlrr-.-,V, The committee has
been greatly Impressed with the excel
lence of the scheme and decided In favor
of It.
Mrs. Mary Klesel, of this city, a nurse
of no little experience, was engaged yes
terday and entered upon her duties by

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.
Postage Stamp Sales Indloate That Trade
Is on the Boom.
During November was transacted the
largest monthly business In the history
of the Scranton postofflce.
Stamp sales amounted to $9,346.52,
as against $7,614.38 during the corre
sponding month last year, and $6,725
in 1893. The sales were largely in ex
cess of the sales of preceding months,
and with the present revival of busi
ness It Is probable that all holiday
records of previous years will be shattered-

C0M1XG ATTRACTIONS.
The Girl I Left Behind Me at tho Acad
emy of Muslo To ninht.
Tonight "The Girl I Left Behind Me"
will be produced at the Academy of
Music under the auspices of Company
D of the Thirteenth regiment by one of
Gustave Frohman's companies. The
play deals with military life at Post
Kennlon in the Blackfoot country.
Montana, during the Indian uprising of
1890, and there are many scenes of
the most Intense and exciting kind,
particularly with the general's daugh
ter pleading with her father to shoot
her, not to let her fall Into the hands of
the Indiana Although the background
of the play Is rough It Is In every re
spect rigid and culmlnatlve, its clim
axes growing stronger with each act.
The lighter side of the play rests on
the love-making of several couples, all
of whom are the young people of the
garrison. Many of the parts call for
strong and clever acting of an unusual
line, but suffice to say that with Mr.
Frohman's excellent company the piece
will in no way suffer in this respect.
iMontell Tomorrow Msht.
The indications are that a large and
fashionable audience will be on hand to
welcome Robert Mantell, the celebrated
romantic actor, when he comes to the
Academy Wednesday evening In Espy
William's powerful play In four acts
entitled, "The Husband." Mr. Mantell
Is one of the most popular actors who
comes to this city and his appearance is
looked forward to with much pleasure,
lis First Production Here.
Charles H. Hoyt's ncV comedy, "A
Milk White Flag," about which there
has been so much talk, will be present
ed for the first time In this city at the
Academy of Music Thursday night. The
piece Is a satire on the militia, and Is
presented In a spectacular way, with a
company of fifty people, elaborate scen
ery and original music throughout. The
cast includes a number of well-known
performers.
Modjcska's Last Appearanco Here.
It is always a sad thing to hear of
the retirement of an actress who has,
through her achievements, endeared
herself to the public heart, and it Is a
great blow to the drama, the admirer of
Shakespeare and the Btudent of dra
matic art to lose an actress whose in
comparable genius and marvellous ar
tistic ability have placed her In the
foremost rank of living actresses. Such
a woman fs Modjeska; her retirement
from the stage is an absolute certainty
In the near future. She has announced
her last appearance in this city to take
place next Friday evening at the
Academy. There Is no possible shadow
of doubt but that this will be the last
time that she will appear in public be
fore our local theater-goers. Such an
event is regrettable from all stand
points and will doubtless arouse the In
terest of all theater-goers and admirers
of dramatic genius. "Mary Stuart" will
be the bill on this occasion. It Is one
of the greatest roles in which Modjeska
appears, and it is a fitting character in
which to make her final bow.
TWO OLD CRONIES AT DAVIS.
Entertaining. Performance Given by Wills
and Company.
"Two Old Cronies" opened a three
days' engagement at Davis' theater
vetserday afternoon. Both the opening
and the evening performances were well
attended.
There Is no particular plot about the
Cronies this year any more than here
tofore, but there are several clever
comedians In the company who make
the performance very entertaining.
John Wills, one of the original cronies;
W. F. Kennedy, Louise Carver, Kittle
Helston, Lillian Robie, Goldle v ash-
burn and Burt Hart are some of the
members of the company who contrib
uted entertaining features to the pro
gramme.
Miss Fannie Leslie, a contortionist,
gave one of the most wonderful exhi
bitions of body bending and twisting
ever seen In this city. Her work is
marvelous. This and tomorrow after
noons and evenings the performance
will be repeated.
There's more solid value for your
dollars at Turnquest's, the Jeweler,.

Mr. Mair Goes to Africa. .
The Monday afternoon whist club met
yesterday at the home of Mrs. George
B. Jermyn, 219 Jefferson avenue.
The directors and other officers of the
recently organized Scranton club are
considering the wisdom of engaging the
W. W. Scranton house, Monroe avenue
and Linden street, for temporary quar
ters, and will hold a meeting during; this
week to decide the matter. Before then
they will secure the opinions of all the
members, and .if 75 per cent, favor the
plan, it will probably be carried out.
There are many expressions favoring
and disapproving the plan. It is be
lieved by some that of the one hundred
members, not more than fifty or sixty
would approve the collection of the
$100 initiation fee and $50 dues until
during late next year on the completion
of the new board of trade building,
which will contain the club rooms, and
when it was expected the collection of
dues and Initiation fees would begin.
Then there are others who would disap
prove purchasing furniture and the
like which might not be at all in keep
ing with the decorations and arrange
ment of the rooms in the board of trade
structure.
While the officers and directors seem
to personally favor the Scranton house
Idea they are not disposed to acquire
the property for a temporary home if
the project is not almost unanimous.
They will conduct a careful canvass
among the members and come to a
quick decision. The rent of the house
will approximate only about $350 per
year.
A tea was given last night from 7 to
10 o'clock by George R. Mair and Fred
erick O, Whitmore In their bachelor
home, on Qulncy avenue. The affair
might havo been termed a "farewell
tea," as Mr. Mair will within two or
three months leave for the gold fields
In South Africa on business connected
with the setting up of machinery to be
shipped by the General Electric com
pany, of which he and Mr. Whitmore are
the local managers and Mr. Whitmore
will tomorrow leave to assume a more
Important position In the main office of
the "company lni Philadelphia. Mr.
Mair will go with Mr. Whitmore to
Philadelphia, where he will remain un
til his departure for Africa.

A; ,W. K. Pierce, an instructor in elec
tricity for the Colliery Engtneer, who

erection of electrical machinery which
the General Electric company has sold
to the Consolidated Gold Fields of
South Africa, they will, as soon as
their first, duties In Africa are com
pleted, become employes of the Gold

most important settlements In the
gold fields of the South African
Republic. The Republlo lies inland
from tho southeast coast and
la reached by railroad by the
across-continent line running from

IS YET AT A STANDSTILL.
Both Sides In the City Mali Are Waiting
for Something to Tarn I'p.
Nothing definite was done yesterday
towards settling the differences exist
ing between the board of appeals and
board of assessors. Mr. Jones, speak
ing for the assessors, said:
"We are doing nothing. Simply
waiting until the board of appeals sees
fit to let us have the 1895 books. There
will be no assessment made by - us
until we get those books."
When spoken to about the matter,
Clt Clerk Lavelle said that as far as
he knew, the board Of appeals had
taken no action on the assessors com
munication. 1 ' '
' "They do not seem to see where there
Is any cause for action on their -part,"
said Mr. Lavelle, referring to the board
of appeals.- "The assessors have the
18M blotters, and the board- of appeals
has ottered to cornet them it th as-
sessors deem them unreliable. Thus
tho matter rests." .
Mayor Connell said he felt that he
should, interfere and try to effect a
conciliation, but he has failed so far
to find any reason or authority for
offering himself as a mediator.
Mr. Chittenden. Mr. Finn and Mr.
Lauer, members of select council's
committee of conciliation, took no def
inite steps yesterday, but each of his
own accord was engaged in hunting up
information on the matter and posting
himself jon the new law.
One interesting feature of the' case
Is that City Solicitor J. H. Torrey Is
the advisor of the board of appeals and
ex-City Solicitor Ira H. Burns Is the
assessors' attorney. If the matter gets
Into court, as it eventually promises
to, there will be a nice battle, no doubt,
between these two famed authorities
on municipal law.

CAPTAIN I1INES RETIRES.
No Longer General Manager of llillsldo
Cool and Iron Company.
Captain Samuel Hlnes yesterday re
tired as general manager of the Hill
side Coal and Iron company. This ac
tion took place because of tile reorgan
ization of the New York, Lake Erie
the Western Railroad company Into the
Erie Railroad company, and the aboli
tion of the Erie receivership. With
the new order of things the office of
general manager of the Hillside Coal
and Iron company, which Is controlled
by the Erie company, has been abol
ished. The Hillside company opetates
six mines and breakers, and has an
annual output capacity of 2,500,000 tons
of coal.
Captain Hlnes as president of the
Traders' National bank and In his iden
tification with various mining and
manufacturing Interests occupies an
Important position In the eye of the
Scranton public and commands gen
eral esteem. He was at one time gen
eral agent and paymaster of the Mer
cer Iron and Coal company, and treas
urer of the Jamestown and Franklin
Railroad company, of Mercer county,
but for twenty-one years has been con
spicuously identified with Scranton en
terprise. He beoame president of the Traders'
bank upon Its organization in 1889. He
was one of the original members and
first sergroant of Company D, of the
old Scranton city guard, which was
merged into the Thirteenth regiment,
and after serving in tho lieutenancies
from 1877 to July 6, 18S0, was elected
captain.
WEATHER FOR TO-DAY.
Iodioatlons Say Clear and Fair, but De
cidedly Cold.
At 11 o'clock last night a light snow
was falling and the fleecy flakes con
tinued to circulate about in the air
until after midnight. Theatergoers and
other late pedestrians buttoned tightly
their outer garments and witnessed the
sight with more or less surpn;, as" ear
ly in the evening a light rain was fall
ing and there was little suspicion of ap
proaching cold.
Today promises a taste of a real cold
and wintry snap, but without any
trimmlngrs of snow. The prognostica
tions received yesterday afternoon di
rectly by wire from Washington and
last night's press dispatches promised
that the thermometer would take a de
cided tumble during last night and that
the cold would continue today.
A clear, fair day with northwest
winds la promised.
SHOT A WILD CAT.
Providence Hunter's Dog was Fiercely At
tacked by the Savage Animal.
Fred Ware, of Providence, was at the
county commissioners' office yesterday
with tho carcass of a fierce looking
wildcat, which hoshot last Saturday
afternoon while hunting in the woods
near Moscow. The untamed feline as
saulted Ware's hounds, and would
have made short shrift of one of them
had he not been handy with his rifle.
He shot the cat through the heart.
He took It to the city and had an
alderman cut the ears off it, them went
to the commlsslsoners' office and re
ceived $2 bounty allowed In such cases.
The animal weighed about fifteen
pounds.
