AN INTERESTING CASE.
Parties from the Last Chases Qaarrel
Over Water'
It It usually something stronger than
pure spring water that cause fractures
and Quarrels In domestic life, but a
case was heard at Alderman Jones', of
which this same spring water was the
principal cause.
The parties in the case hailed from
Last Chance settlement, as the place
is outside the water limits, the water
Is secured from a spring near by.
Among others who use the spring are
Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Mooney. The
women had quarrelled about something
and had not spoken for some time.
Mrs. Mooney was at the spring one
day when she saw Mrs. Whitman com
ing, and deliberately rolled the water
so Mrs. Whitman was obliged to wait
for It to clear.
This trick was repeated time and
again until the little patience Mrs.
Whitman possessed was totally con
sumed by her tlery temper, and she
proceeded to talk to Mrs. Mooney in
language which Is not found In the
dictionaries. This Incensed Mrs. Mooney
and the result was that both had war
rants sworn out against the other.
At the ottice of Alderman Jones they
still kept up their war of words when
the Alderman threatened to have them
both committed. They then decided
they would try to live more peaceably
and were discharged.

WAVER LY. ;
About seven miles from Scranton Is
situated the borough of Waverly. which
at the present time contains about sev
en hundred Inhabitants and la still in
creasing In population.
Among the first settlers was Andrew
Bedford, son of Jacob and Deborah
Bedford, who was born In Wyoming,
Luserne county. Pa., in the year 18'.
After his graduation in Yale college
where he studied medicine, he prac
ticed with the late Dr. Nichols, and
then practiced In Dundaff for the
period of three years, after which he
removed to Waverly. From 1824 to 1840
he followed his vocation, his practice
extending over a circuit of sixty miles.
In 1842 he was elected to the office of
prothonotary and clerk of the courts of
Luxerne county for a term of three
years when h wus aguln elected to
succeed himself.
Few people In this section of the
country or In Scranton are aware of
how much they owe to Dr. Bedford or
that he obtained the original charter
of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western railroad front Providence to
Great Bend, renewing It every five
years. He was one of the first direct
ors of the road and owing to his large
acquaintance und pleasant speech and
manners, was able to save the road
many thousands of dollars. Glenburn,
the nearest station to Waverly, was
presented o the road by Doctor Bed
ford, (1. E. Humphreys, Le Northup,
Halls and others; and will always be a
monument to their kindness and phil
anthropy. In 1837 he was elected to the consti
tutional convention, where, by his own
presence, he was able to win hosts of
friends, who. now that he has passed
nwuy, honor and revere his name. In
lx:!? he was united In marriage to Miss
Hannah Reynolds, by whom he had
Beven sons. She died In the year 1845.
He whs again married about 1852 to
Miss Mary Porter Bunts, by whom he
had one daughter, who Is now the wife
of iOUward Leighton, of Blnghamton,
N. Y.
Ills father. Jacob Bedford, died in the
year 1849 at tin age of eighty-six. His
mother, who wus the last survivor of
the terrible inussacre of Wyoming
which occurred In 1778, died at her son's
residence at the advanced age of nlne-ty-slx.
Doctcr Bedford died In September,
1SS9, honored und revered by all with
whom he came In contact, and Waver
ly owes many things to both the doctor
and those who have succeeded htm.
I'pon a hill from which one Is able to
see over five hundred square miles and
from which one can plainly see at least
four counties. Is the old Madison Acad
emy, which although It still retains Its
name, was transferred to the borough
of Waverly In 1860.

PRICEBURQ,
It appears to be useless to speak
about the sloppy and filthy condition of
the gutter running under the Mag side
walk in front of Johnson No. 1 shaft on
Main street, but the trouble It causes
pedestrians and the stench arising
from It compels us to bring it to the
notice of the proper authorities once
again. If our street commissioner does
not attend to this it would be well for
the board of health to look after It as It
is also a menace to public health.

on the tracks forward, passed over the(
head of the young man, killing him In
stantly and almost severing the head
from the body. Deceased was a quiet

Sardou's elaborate coinedy, "Madame

a good man's memory, remarks Hillary
Bell, Uiut will outlive a year. Where Is

Where Is the once fascinating Robert

as the most prominent and popular ac
Latest U. S. Gov't Report
tor In town to dedicate the new Lyceum
theatre. At one time he received $4u0
a week from A. M. Palmer. At one
time he divided the applause of her
audiences with Fanny Davenport. At
one time he was entreated to accept
the position of leading man In Wal
laek's theatre. At one time his photo
graph was In every schoolgirl's boudoir,
and matinee girls used to swoon at the
sight of him. Where Is he now? Where
is Maud Harrison? Time was when
she tilled the public eye. Where Is
Harrlgan? His first nights were events
over which the once famous but now
also forgotten Judge Duffy used to pre

known farce comedy, "A Cold Day,"
for thiw days only. Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday next. This will be an
opportunity for those who like good
singing, tlrst-closs dancing, and clean,
wholesome fun to enjoy themselves.
"A Cold Day." needs no further en

the last eight years played at most

has therefore well earned the saying,
"Once a success, always a success."

Miss Kathryn Kidder, the stur of
'M adame Sans Gene" company. Is an
ardent devetee of bicycling, and every
pleasant day takes a spin on her pretty
wheel. In 8eaklng of bicycle riding
the other day Miss Kidder said: "I
rebelled against bicycling four or Ave
years, because I did not like the cos
tume, and the dress necessary to the
part seemed very obnoxious. But my
physicians at lost pursuaded me that
the exercise would be most beneficial,
and after I had conquered aud sub
dued the principal tribulations attend
ant upon learning, 1 found the advice
of these learned men to be more than
good. It tits In with my theory that
concentration Is the greatest force to
ward success and happiness. The bi
cycle Is an exacting friend. Jealously de
manding one's undivided attention, and
for an actor you can eslly understand
how beneficial It would be for the mind,
to have all thoughts of the theater with
its usual routine set aside for the time
being by this usurping Interest. The
exercise gives the greatest possible ben
efit while not encroaching uiKn so
much of one's time as other exercises
which one must follow faithfully In or-
uer to uertve any benefit. "Mme. Sans
Gene" will be produced at the Froth

nings. 11 " H

supporting company Is the best evi
dence of his artistic conscience, and
goes to show that he is willing to re
turn to the public a proper value for
what he receives from it in profit. It
has come to be generally conceded that
no repertoire company at popular prices
pay the same attention to scenic em
bellishments and general detail as that
of Miss Luuls' and as a result Interest
concerning her Is ever on the Increase.

Tony Denier. "of" Humpty Dumpty
fame, has struck it rich in a New Mexi
co silver mine and Is now on the high
road to wealth. George H. Adams, the
Pico of the "Fantasma" company, now
playing ut the Academy of Music, re
cently received the following letter
from Denier regarding the matter:
Chicago. 111.. Marc h7, ISMi.
Friend George: Von remember I told
you I had grub-staked a newspaper friend
of mine, so that he could go to look for
gold where he said he knew he could llnd
It. .Most of my other friends said I was
a fool to have done such a thing. Well,
I heard from my newspaper friend the
other day after yod left here, and he
has struck It big. He wants me to give
him permission to sell two of the mines
and we are to keep the Humpty Dumpty,
and he says he hus u cinch on another
claim next to thut and asks me to send
him a name for it. I have therefore taken
the liberty of sending your daughter's and
my niece's name, Toninu, as a fitting name
for the new mine. Should It turn out like
the others, our young l:idy may marry
a prince, or whnt is better still, an hon
est American. Yours,
Tony Denier.
Miss Tonlna Adams, the young lady
referred to. Is a member of the "Fan
tasma" company, and was seen last
night in the role of Serena, Fantusma's
