Jacob War J. of Kaaium, on Trial for a
Criminal Attempt on Mrs. Irancea
Carey. Who Was IHilna
Ills Housework.
At :.:'.! Wednesday afternoon the ruse
of the commonwealth against Anthony
Sibeskle, went to the jury, and after an
all nltfht session the jury failed to aitree
upon a verdict; eleven of them were In
favor of conviction, it is said, and the
twelfth, Thomas Williams, a miner of
Mavlleld, believed the story of the de
fendant that the prosecution was
founded on malice and spite work.
They came Into court ut nine o'clock
with the information that they were
not of one accord: .luds,re Kdwards
told them the case ousht to he disposed
of. If possible, ami he Kent them back
asain. They retired und took Mr. Wil
liams' view of the matter and brought
buck a verdict of not guilty. This is
the ease where: the parties reside at the
"Itldire" in Archbald borough.
A verdict of BUllty was returned
ngainst Frank Kedruskey and Joseph
Novae, the two I.loyd street Polatulers,
who us.-aulted Walter Moore, a colored
man, with stones on Sunday evening
before last Christmas and left him in a
battered condition.
Sentence Imposed on kcJrnkv.
Judge Archbald sentenced Kedrusky
to pay a tine of $5' and spend four
months in the county jail. This is the
defendant who. a brought out in evi
dence, threw the stuue. which split

fendant. The Jury brought 111 a verdict
of not guilty and equally divided the
costs.

The Jury found a vonllcl on the charge
of simple assault and buttery. John
(iloth is on trial before Judge Kdwards
fur stealing $1:15 und a judgment note
of $l(iil from Uoininlck Ambrows of Aus
tin Heights, old Forge township, eurly
last December,
The Siorv of the Theft.
The defendant boarded with the pros
ecutor ami wont Into his room one
morning early to borrow Ambrows'
shoes. The latter refused to let the
boarder step Into bis shoes, and ufter a
little parleying flloth went out. Hut
before he did he took with him a hand
ken hie. Ambrows did not believe in
the stability of bunks und he had the
SHU) und the judgment note tied up In
a knot In the handkerchief, which
l lloth took out of the room. The money
was afterward recovered.. The prose
cutor followed the defendant, charged
him with taking the money and the
defendant flung it at hltn. This is the
story of the prosecutor. Thut of the
defendant will be beurd today. Attor
ney A. .1. t'olborn. jr., represents the
defendant, and Attorney M. W. l.owry
is conducting the case with District
Attorney Jones for the commonwealth.
itefore Judge Archbald In No. the
case against Jacob Ward, of Kansom,
was nit on trial and was finished ex
cept the arguments of counsel und the
charge of the court, which will be
heard by the Jury today. Assistant
District Attorney John M. Harris con
ducted un able ease for the common
wealth; Attorneys Oeorge S. Horn und
ex-Judge Ward represent the defend
ant. Mrs. Frances M. Garey Is the
prosecutrix. The charge ugulnst Ward
was that on the morning of Aug. ;o.
lfti.'i, he made a crimlnul uttempt upon
Mrs. (larey. who was doing the house
work for hint, his wife being III. She
alleged thut he attacked her In the
kitchen, but she strove against his pur
pose and prevented his design.
Total Denial Made by lictendnnr.
A total denial of the charge and the
allegation that Mrs. (larey had been a
woman of bad repute, wus the story of
the defense. Ward Is a middle aged
man und bus a farm in Kansom. Mrs.
Carey is a woman not much past thirty,
and Is somewha: attractive In nppear
ance. Ward testified that she was fre
quently In the hnblt of coming into his
bedroom before he got up In the morn
ing and her actions were opposite to
those expected of a virtuous woman.
It used to make hltn very much
ashamed. Once she came while he was
stark naked, lie ran Into a corner and
hid behind the door until she went out.
The morning she alleges he ntlacked
her, she went Into the barn where he
was. twice ufter the hour that he is
accused of having made the uttempt.
This was to show that if he had done
anything such as he Is charged with,
she would not have trusted herself
alone with him. He did not know that
he was accused until he received a let
ter from Alderman Thomas H. Loft us,
of I'lttston. a week or so later.
Mrs. Ward was sworn and her testi
mony was straightforward and given
with a good deal of feeling. She re
membered the morning of August 20.
becuuse on that duy Mrs. llarey left
her to go to Dallas where her mother
had died. Mrs. Ward wanted Mr?.
Garey to llnd someone to take her place
until she could return nnd not to leave
her alone. Mrs. Ward heard no screams,
nor no struggle in the kitchen between
her husband and Mrs. Garey. The
groundwork of the prosecution was,
she believed, revenge for money Mrs.
Garey was not entitled to but which
she claimed payment for. The amount
wus only 59 cents und wns for one day's
washing.
Testimony as to llcr Kcputntion.
Dr. Smith, of Hansom, was called by
the defense und he swore that from the
general s:eech of the people Mrs.
Gurey'sJ-eputation was bad. Mr. Har
ris questioned him closely and the doc
tor failed to name one person he heard
discussing her reputation.
Aldermun Loftus wus called. Garey,
the woman's husband, came to him ami
wanted a warrant for Ward. The ul
dermnn, knowing the jurisdiction of
the case was In Lackawannu county,
referred Garey to Alderman Millur, of
this city, as u capable ami courteous
magistrate to tuke the matter before.
Mr. l.of tun. ut the nolFWt.itlon of flarey,
wrote a letter to Wurd, concerning the
cuse. Garey told the alderman he
would settle for $15. When Wurd cume
In answer to the letter he denied the
charge against him and said he had
done nothing and therefore there was
nothing to arbitrate.
Rev. Mr. Snuffer, pastor of the t'nlted
Kvangellcal church, of Hansom, swore
that the prosecutrix's reputation (or
chastity was. from the speech of the
people, not good. He knew her five
years ago in Afton village. Columbia
county, and was told then by his class
leatler that Ms. Garey did not possess
good morals. Since coming to Kansom
he had heard that f.he is. too fond of
men's company. Her own mother told
him that. This was substantially the
case.

The curtnln of the Academy of Muslu
will rise Saturday night on the widely.
heralded untl niuch-dit.ussed drum of
Bydim Grundy's "Sowing the Wind,"
which was such a success at the Kmpire
theater, Xew York. The drama has made
a deep impression, not only for the great
problem it discusses, but because It I a
beMittlful example of thn playwright's art.
full of heart touches and true to nature
in every line and situation. In his drama
Mr. Grundy brings into relief an apotheo
sis of a woman horn out of wedlock and
reared in immoral surroundings, yet pos
sessing the pure and wholsome nuslltic of
mind and character which preserve her
from the contagion surrounding her
youth, and In her womanhood force her
to declare herself against the social pre
judices which operate to prevent her en
tering Into the high circles reserved for
women not morally teiter, but only more
fortunate. The drama, with all Its wealth
of heart Interest ami Its prestige us one
of the notable dramatic successes of the
generation, will be seen here with the
complete origiittl cast that made It a
success In the principal cities of the
country. The company is headed by J.
It. Glhnour and Miss .Mary Hampton.

In speaking of Hubert Illlllard and his
performance of "Lost 21 Hours." the at
traction to be seen at the Academy of
Music Monday evening critics assert that
Mr. Illlllard has shown extremely ijood
sense In not grabbing fur nil the fat lines,
taking all the good situations und trying
to give the whole performance himself. A
llbersl proportion of these morsels (so
coveted by the ambitious actor) has be-in
riven to each member of the company.
It Is a condition rarely allowed by a
star, anil Mr. Milliard is certainly deserv
ing of credit for at least permitting. If not

rOKKWX MISSION WORK.
Conference Held at the Pcnn Avenue
baptist Church Yesterday.
A conference of the foreign mission
ary societies of the Ablngton Baptist
association was held yesterday after
noon nnd evening In the I'enn Avenue
Baptist church. About thirty dele
gates were In attendance and they com
prised nearly all present at the after
noon session, although the evening ses
sion was quite largely attended, prob
ably owing to the announcement that
the speakers' would be three such well
known missionary enthuslusts oh Hcv.
M. H. Klrkpatiick. M. D.. of Hurma;
Hcv. Dr. M. K Olivers, of New York
city, and Hev. Dr. 11. C. Mable, of Bos
ton. The conference was called In pursu
ance to the request of ollicers of the for
eign missionary branch of the Baptist
church at large. The foreign mission
ary work of the church is threatened
with retrenchment If Increased receipts
are not obtained, and to awaken Inter
est local conferences ore being held
throughout the country and are being
addressed by prominent Bpeakers.
At tho Afternoon Session.
Yesterday afternoon's session began
at 2.30 o'clock. Hev. M. J. Watklns. of
this city, presided. A treatise on the
Hible exposition. "The Desire or All
Nations." was made by Hev. W. J.
Guest. Hev. T. V.'. Jepson, of Cuibon
dale, read a paper on "The Method of
the Foreign Missionary Offering."
which was followed by discussion. A
novel part of the programme was u
half hour of prayer, which was exclu
sive of the other religious portion of
the exercises, and consisted especially
of invocations that the work of for
eign missions should not be permitted
to (lei line.
The feature of the afternoon session
was Hev. W. J. Ford's address on "The
Kelntlou of the Interest In Foreign Mis
sions to the Spiritual Life of the Indi
vidual and the Church." It was a cap
able effort w hich secured the attention
and npproval of the audience. Mr.
Ford emphasized the fact that it wns a
command of God that the gospel should
be taught and preached throughout the
world, and that while Protestants be
lieve they are God's chosen people. It
may come to them as It did to God's
chosen race of centuries, ago. that they
will be set aside for not performing tile
work He has commanded them to do.
Addresses In the I vcninn.
Following the adjournment nt B
o'clock, there was a period of social en
joyment, after which refreshments were
served to the delegates in the lecture
room.
The addresses of Drs. Kirpatrick.
Chlvers nnd Mable In the evening could
not have failed to warm their hearers to
a realization of Hie fact that foreign
missionary work Is imperative and that
Baptists. Individually and collectively,
as societies, must be responsible If there
is a retrenchment In the matter.

story Is a German transplanted, brogue
and all, from the Rhine to Killarney.
This novel arrangement offers an op
portunity for combining German hu

The acting of Richard Anderson In

DANCERS ARE IMPROVING

Ma: Inco Today- Costumes of
tho Carnival Dance.
There were more spectators at last
nights js'i formance of the Fete Cham
pet re than witnessed any preceding
performance. All the seats were occu
pied as usual, all the boxes and loges
were filled und ubout two hundred per
sons purchased standing-room tickets.
With each succeeding entertainment
it has been observed that the dancers
sow un Increased proficiency, und this
was very aoparent last night, the
classes, soloists, duetlsts and music
moving along with a swing and rythm
thut were very near perfect.
The dances given were as follows:
Dance of the Troubadours and mirror
dun. e. tableau and processional. Japan
ese dame (Jevcnile), tambourine dance
of Hotiinania, serpentine dunce by
Misses Belln. Arclibald und Spencer,
Tyrolean peasant dance, Spanish Ca
chuca, Corslcan sultorella, skirt dance
(juvenile), dance of the gondoliers,
grand tableau and entre of Napoleon.
Little Florence Klein danced exquisite
ly a solo after the Japanese dunce, und
0-year-old Ruth Machette danced a
solo after the Tyrolean number. The
audience showed Its apreclation of the
splendid efforts of each little one by
volumes of frequent applause.
Abundance of Applause.
As at every performance, different
elements in the audience vied with euch
other In showering their plaudits on
cerlaiuof theclasseswlth the result that
the Interior of the theater wus In a
pleusunt uproar most of the time. This
had a good effect uixiti the dancers,
who showed u gradual Improvement.
It all evidenced the remarkable furore
the kirmess hus aroused and which
would warrant the affair being run
over into next week If such a thing
were possible; In fuel, many have so
hoped and expressed themselves, but
their hopes will have to fall ungratllled,
as next Monday night the theater is
engaged, and the Intervention of two
unoccupied days, It Is thought, would
prevent a continuunce of the spectacle.
There will be u matinee this after
noon. This hud not been Intended un
til as recently us Wednesday when It
uppeared that the supply of seals would
not fill the demund for the Wednesduy
and Saturday mutlnees. This after
noon all uf the Juvenile dances will be
given, excepting the curnival dance,
which Is reserved for tonight.
Speaking of the carnival dunce, the
costumes worn by the little dancers are
not only quaint and picturesque but
make up In historical and artistic In
terest what they lack In tinsel and
gauze. They merit the close Inspection
of opera glasses. Many are costly and
historically accurate; notably so the
"John Alden" costume of leather and
velvet worn by Carlton Council, and
the "Frederick the Great" costume
worn by Gordon Taylor. Some of the
peasant costumes also are Interesting
In the extreme, particularly that of the
"Norinundy Bride" (Nellie Fulton) and
the Swiss (Murjoiie Collins). The Ro
manian costume is a genuine imported
garb, accurate and complete In every
detail. It Is worn by the little leader,
Kvelyn Matthews. The little Dutch
peasant with her wooden sabots (Fran
ces Hoik well) Is very cunning. Below
Is a cumplete personnel of the dance.
It Is a pity, many think, that these lit
tle carnivals are so short a time on the
stage; they are each and every one a
study. Their dance and costumes will
be observed with Interest tonight:

Check System a .Mistake.
It now appears that a mistake was
made in the system of giving out checks
and In making the rate of eight seats
for " Instead of a Hat price of SI per
sent no matter how ninny or how few
were purchased. The speculators huve
not been slow to take advantage of the
situation by hiring boys to stand In
line for the checks for which the boys
are paid 0 cents euch. Kven though a
speculator were able to get only a dollar
for each ticket his profit Is large as he
can buy eight tickets at the box office

been able to sell for $1.50 or $2 every

POLITICAL CIIIT.CHAT.
Poor Director Thomas Shotten Is a can
didate for re-election to the office of as
sessor of the Second ward. His opponent
is P. 8. Uoland.
John Wagner, who Is a candidate for se
lect council In the Fifteenth wurd. Is an
old an much-respected citizen of the ward
and has many warm friends who earnest
ly desire to see him occupy a seat In the
select council.
The Indications are that a large vote
will be cast for the viaduct In all parts
of the city. People generally know the
great necessity of constructing a viaduct
on West latckawanna avenue and they
realise that each year Us construction Is
delayed the cost of It will Increase on
account of the upward tendency of prices
of real estute. Another matter to
be taken Into consideration Is the fact
that each year the crossing Is becoming
more diumeroiis und more threatening to
life and limb. These facts are being
thoughtfully considered by the voters
and there seems no doubt at this time
that the proposition to build the viaduct
will go through with a ruh.
The ward tight In ihe Klghth Is being
very quietly conducted. The inmits of the
Republican nominees are sv well-known
that their election is a foregone conclu
sion. Mr. Worinser and Mr. Khiffcr, the
candidates tor school controller and select
council respectively, are the kind of men
who make good officials.
Kx-Seleetman Patrick Golden, of the
Sixth ward, is In the field against J. F.
Keagan for common council. The nti
nounceincnt of his candidacy wan a big
surprise to the ward and a none too pleas
ant olio to Mr. Reagan.
' Reports received lit Republican head
quarters from all part" of the cily grow
more and more glowing day by day. The
attacks of the morning Democratic paper
are but popularizing the Republic. At can
didates and theiKwUl be elected by sub
stantial pluralities.
Attorney M. F. Siindo took charge of
Democratic headquarters Monday after
noun. He has been the secretary of Dem
ocratic city und county committee for
years back and the candidates want to
make use of his valuable experience. For
that reason he was pressed into service
and will remain in charge of headquarters
until election duy.
