Sera n ton, Dec, 9.
Hon. Alfred Hand.
lear Sir: Through yo I desire to an
nounce to the members of tho bar of
l.aokawa-.na county the death of the
late K. t'. Dimnilck at his home at an early
hour Saturday morning.
You will understand that his death, by
reason of my relations with Mr. Dimmlck
and his family for years, is the cause of
an Inexpressible sorrow to me, rendering
me incapable and unlit for participating
In any public manifestation of regret. 1
therefore beg of you to say as much for
me to the friends assembled on tills oc
casion. Independent of my relations to his
family, ho was a friend and business as
sociate for many years. A man of strict
honor. Imbued with the highest principles,
he wus an unselrlsh and noble friend.
Very sincerely yours,
Charles du- Pont Breck.

ing were reported and unanimously

to consider the life and character of Kd
ward C. IMmmlck. who tlird at hlH resi
dence, in Ureen Hldge, Saturday morning,
and held on Monday, Dec. 9. ISO.",, at tho
court house in the city of Scranton, the
following memorial minute wns suggested
by the committee on resolutions and there
upon adopted, that umonir the permanent
records of the association something
hereafter might be found .of the private
and professional character of the man,
as manifested to his fellows:
Though leading for years prior to his
death a comparatively retired life, Ed
ward C, Dimmlck was a kindly and con
siderate neighbor. In the familiar circle
of his friends and acquaintances he was
rich in conversational capneity, genial and
pleasant of manner, thouKh modest
rather than obtrusive, and. possessing an
unaffected graciousness of speech and de
meanor that made personal contact with
him Invariably and uniformly delightful.
While a student of bool;s and loving the
solitude of his library, he brought to the
management of extensive business affairs
a judgment and common sense unrivalled
among numerous associates. A lawyer of
rare natural gifts and of exceptional
scientific knowledge, as an advocate he
was brilliant and as a counsellor wisely
conservative In the direction of his client
ape. His was the gentleness of a gentlS wo.
man, and the manliness of a manly man.

Short addresses were delivered by the
following; In which the many good qual
ities of the deceased were highly eulo
gised: Judffe R. W. Archbald. Judge P.
P. Smith, Major Everett Warren, Dis

'METHODIST MINISTERS.
Meld Their Regolar Meeting Yesterday
In Elm Park r.hnroh.
The semi-monthly meeting of Meth
odist ministers was held yesterday
morning In , Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce's
study In ' Elm Park church, and was
attended by about fifteen persons In
cluding Revs. ; Dr. Pearce, Dr. J. O.
Eckman, Dr. Floyd, Richard Hlorns,
John Davy, William Edgar, Dr. L. W.
Peck. Dr. J. E. ' Price,. S. Dawson, F.

A paper on. "The Temptation of
Christ" was read by Rev. P. Gendall.
of Jermyn. The paper was discussed
by Revs. Dr. Pearce. Dr. Floyd, Dorsey
and Dorsey. ...
Dr. Robinson's charge against the
police and the events which- followed
created informal discussion before and
after the meeting. There was a dls
piwttlon among all present to refrain
from expressing definite opinions on the
matter but tho prevailing sentiment
was that Dr. Robinson had been haBty
and over-ardent.
C0M1XG ATTRICT10XS.
MINNIE MAPDERN FISKE Those
who remember Minnie Maddern Flske
most vividly as an actress of wonder
ful suggesliveness on lines of the high
est art In plays that offered her poor
opportunity will hardly be prepared for
the evidence of development that she
shows in her new play. "The Queen of
Liars," which will be presented at the
Frothlngham this evening Her re
appearance after a retirement for five
years has given such eveldence of
growth as to indicate that her time has
been spent In that vitally effective
study that Is directed by genius Itself.
Critics everywhere have halN-d her
with enthusiasm as the one American
actress who demonstrates a type of
genius that heretofore has had kin
dred illustration only In foreign artists.
In her new piny Mrs. Flske has a me
dium that fits all her expressive ability.
In the leading -cities "The Queen "of
Liars", has been declared to be the
strongest and Tnost Interesting drama
of its class made known this season.
It tells an engroHlng and human story
of a woman who emeshes herself In
falsehoods In a vain attempt to lead
an honest life after a questionable
past. The characters are drawn with
a truth that had made Daudet. the
author of the play, world famous.
While "The Queen of Liars" Is a strong
drama. It gains greatly from the Illus
tration given to .its leading character
by Mrs. Flske, and it is doubtful If any
othnr actress could so vitally typify
this part.
- II II II
8ALVINI Tomorrow evening at the
Academy of Music theater-goers will
have an opportunity of seeing Alex
ander Snlvlni in "The Three Guards
men." This artist brings to the part
an enormous but governed energy and
unbounded confidence. To follow him
as D'Artngnan makes onewonder what
Salvini would do if he had to be quiet
one wholo minute. On the stage it
seems lmposible for him to do so, yet
there Is art In his noise, and novelty In
his movement. The play Is so full of
life that were Salvini other than he Is,
he would not be an Meal guardsman.
Considerable stress Is laid on the
scenic surroundings with Which' the
play will be presented, for It has been
agreed by Manager WllitlnRon to
bring everything here complete that
was seen In the New York production
at the Star theater.
II II II
HUMANITY Manager W. A. Brady
made a wise deal when he contracted
to produce Sutton Vane's play In
America. The success of "Humanity"
in New York and Boston Insures for tt
a long and profitable season. Already
the "Cotton King" has shown itself a
money maker and Mr. Brady thinks
"Humanity" will do even better. Sut
ton Vnne appears to have the faculty
of striking the popular chord In all his
plays. His characters are so virile
that they stand out as distinct crea
tions, and yet they are but characters
of every day In this hustling world.
The scenic effects of "Humanity" are
startling In their realism and add
greatly to the good work of the actors.
At the Academy Thursday and Friday
evenings.
PRICE GIVEN POWER.
City's Attorney in Turnpiko Cose Will
Hove a Chnnee to Test tils Delief.
The turnpike case will be appealed to
the Supreme court. "Mayor Connell yes
terday signed the resolution directing
the city treasurer to withhold payment
on the warrant for $2,200 drawn on the
strength of the court's award, and em
powering 8. B. Price, the city's attorney
In the case, to make an appeal from the
award and take the matter up to the
Supreme court.
Mr. Price says lhat he Is fully confi
dent that the Supreme court will not
only strike off the award, but will de
cree that the city Is not bound by the
compact of 1SS8, entered Into with turn
pike company for the occupancy of
West Market street.
The mere amount of the award Is as a
drop in the bucket compared to the
question of whether or not It Is possible
for the city to break the deplorable con
tract. The Mayor also, yesterday, signed the
resolution directing the building Inspec
tor to submit plans for a separate tier
of cells for ie accommodation of fe
male prisoners In the central police Sta
tion; the resolution compromising for
$400 the claim of Jacob Pelffer for dam
ages sustained by the grading of Ox
ford street; the resolution awarding to
the Consumers' Icecompany thecontract
for furnishing coal to city buildings: the
resolution asking for plans for side
walks on Jackson street, between Main
and Keyser avenue.
PRESBYTERIAN CLERIC
, -
Is Stirred I'p by the lr. Robinson Police
Matter.
The Presbyterian cleric met yester
day morning In the study of Rev. Dr.
S. C. Logan, on Quincy avenue; Rev.
George E. Guild presided. The charge
of Dr. Robinson against the police was
one of the chief topics of discussion,
but was not considered In a formal way.
President Guild, of the cleric, Is re
ported as having said that the papers,
especially The Tribune, had discrim
inated against Dr. Robinson In Its re
ports and editorials. The cleric has not,
nor will It, said one of the membera,
take any formal action upon the present
controversy.
The Robinson matter overshadowed
all else at the meeting, which did not
transact any Important business.

THE AFFIDAVIT IS HISSING
Aaotber Sensation Brewing li tbe
Pamons Jeanings Case.
WHAT BECAME OP THE PAPER?
It la Missing and the Commonwealth
Csnaot Go to Trial Without It.
James llalrd Pleads Guilty to
a Charge of Forgery.
From present Indications there will
be another sensation In court and At
torney Cornelius Smith will play a
leading part, unless a different phase
comes over the face of matters In rela
tion to the charge of perjury against
John Q. Jennings, of Mlnooka, Mr.
Smith's client.
It Is hardly necessary to repeat the
case over in detail, but briefly; It will
be remembered that last May when the
trespass suit of Mr. Jennings arralnst
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
was about to go on trial, the plaintiff
at the Instance of his attorney made an
affidavit to the effect that Deputy Pro
thonotary Myron Kasson was guilty of
drawing Jurors Illegally.
Mr. Jennings could not substantiate
his allegation, and he was held by
Judge Archbald for perjury. The affi
davit wns numbered among the rest of
the papers In the Jennings' case. The
'-try found a true bill against
the affiant and the case was on the
crimlnul list for yesterday.
It now appears that the affidavit can
not be found In the files In the prothon
otary's offlce, and the commonwealth
cannot very well make out a case
against Mr. Jennings without the pa
per. Mr. Smith has been allowed by
order of court to take the flies In the
Jennings' case from tho prothonotary's
office for reference.
Smith Snvs Us Has Not. Got It.
It was thought that he took the affi
davit out with him among the rest of
the papers, but Mr. Smith denies posi
tively that he laid hands on the paper
since the day It was presented first in
court." The perjury case against Mr.
Jennings would, probably, have been
called yesterday but for the missing
affidavit. The case is In abeyance and
the commonwealth, Mlcawber like, Is
watting for something to turn up.
District Attorney Jones has deter
mined to teach a lesson to those with
strawball proclivities, and he has a
case now which he intends to make an
example of. Last summer Luigi Seal
so, a Carbondale Italian with some of
the fiendish qualities of Nero of old,
tried to blow up the dwelling house of
Gabriel Pugllano with dynamite. He
partially succeeded.
His arrest followed and he was held
to appear at court on the charge of
malicious mischief ' by explosives.
George Kallata became Scalzo's bonds
man In the sum of $G00 and he swore
before Judge Qunster that he owns
property valued at $3,000. It now turns
out that Kallata's property Is covered
over with Judgments and mortgages.
Mr. Jones will teach this bondsman a
lesson that will serve to Instruct others.
Scalzo has gone to South America.
Ilalrd Admitted Ills Guilt..
James Balrd, alias Charles Odell,
Frank White, etc., the young man who
forged . General Manager William F.
Hallstead's name to four checks, plead
ed guilty. Attorney John T. Martin
made a strong plea for clemency In
behalf of the prisoner, and Judge Gun
ster imposed a sentence of five months
in the county Jail, $25 fine and costs.
Thomas Price and Reuben Morris
pleaded guilty to highway robbery, and
will be sentenced next Saturday. They
took $32 from Thomas Harris, an old
man, at Olyphant on Aug. 6 last. Price
Is the man who, while engaged In the
barberlng business on the West Side,
robbed a man he was shaving of $10.
He Is not over 24 years of age. Morris,
his accomplice, is a mere boy only 16
years of age, and was led into the
crime by Price.
The embexzlement case of The Trib
une Publishing company against Lewis
H. Behle, of Archbald, terminated by
taking a verdict of not guilty. The de
fendant was once tried and convicted
but Judge Archbald granted him a new
trial on the ground that Bchle was
not an agent.
Charles F. Barnhart. alias Charles F.
Wilson, plead guilty to bigamy. Belle
Vanloovan was the prosecutrix. Ho
will be sentenced Saturday. Capiases
were Issued for Mary McGoff and Agnes
Hunter, defendant and prosecutor re
spectively In an assault and battery
case. They live on f.ie West Side, and
are sisters. A capias was Issued for
John Gibbons charged with aggravated
assault and battery on William Farrell.

John Ford, attempt at burglary; P, J.
McNamara, prosecutor.

room was one In which Thomas Davis,
James Roberts, John Roberts, James

They .were charged with breaking Into
a vacant house owned by the Prosecutor
on New street, and stealing a Jot of
articles; such as, brass, lead pipe, flags,
trombones, books and toys. The Jury
found a verdict of not guilty.
Thomas Kane, of Carbondale, was
next tried for robbery. Chief of Police
James McAndrew, appeared as prosecu
tor. . District Attorney John R. Jones
represented the commonwealth and At
torneys John P. Kelly and James J.
O'Neill, the defendant.
It was alleged that on Sept 25 last
Kane, while riding In a wogan along
the highway near Carbondale, robbed
James 8. Cobb, the man who was kind
enough to let him ride on his wagon,
of his watch and a sum of money, and
had a high time with his spoil around
the saloons of Carbondale.
Statement Made by Kane,
Kane said he did not do the robbery,
that Cobb waa drunk and Insisted on
giving his watch to him for safe keep
ing. He took good care of the watch
until Chief McAndrew took It from him.
Kane dented that he took any money.
The Jury went out at adjournment to
find a verdict. Kane will be tried to
day for burglarizing the house of John
Hlgglns, of Carbondale, two weekes
prior to the day he is accused with
robbing Cobb. '
Judge Edwards presided In No. S
court room, and there was but one
case taken jdp; that was not finished at
adjournment and will go on today. Jo
seph Thomas, M years old, waa charged
with committing an assault on Ange
lina Cockerlll, IS years old. They live
at the Elbley. Aaslstant District Attor

On June 25 last while the little girl
waa sent for yeast to the house of Mrs.
Kehr, who Is the mother, of the young

prominent citizen of the Sibley. It Is
alleged that Thomas followed her,
caught hold of her and made Indecent
proposals, which' she rejected.
Says That Thomas Assaulted Her.
She immediately left him and went
for the yeast, and while tt was being
put up, she went outside to see whether
he was near. He was and he caught
her, she says', dragged her ' into the
field and assaulted her. She went home
and told her mother what had hap
pened. Dr. Adam Stegner, of Rendham, was
sent for and examined the little girl.
The doctor said he did not find evi
dences of what the commonwealth al
leges took place. The defense was that
Thomas was not near the place that
night, and several witnesses swore to
his good character.
