CORSE PAYTON AND COMPANY.
They Opened a Week's EiiKngeuient
nl the Academy Last Night.
Horse Payton and his company open
ed a. week's engagement at the Acad
emy of Music last night before an aud
ience that was large notwithstanding
the very disagreeable weather. The
drama selected for the opening per
formance was "The Parisian Princess"
to which Mr. Payton has applied his
peculiar stage methods. He is not a be
liever In the serious a disciple of
lightness und light and if he had his
way would make "Hamlet" as laugh
provoking as "The Private Secretary."
As a work of dramatic art "The
Parisian Princess" could be Improved
upon but iMr. Payton has so served it
up for the public that Its original short
comings have in a way been lost sight
of. He introduces plenty of comedy Into
It as well us singing and dancing
specialties that are really clever and
the waits between acts are robbed of
their tedlousness by a stereoptican ex
hibition. The stage settings and scen
ery are (he most, elaborate ever shown
in this city by a popular priced com
pany and add not a little to the Im
pression the performance makes on the
audience.
The company supporting Mr. Pay
ton is a good one. In it are F.tt-j Reed,
Minnie Stanley, Charles Mortimer, Wil
liam llowatt and Charles II. lie
Creary. Last night's performance npptaled
strongly to the theatre-goer who wants
to be amused and that ll was enjoyed
was best evidenced by the warm ap
plause that greeted the efforts of th"
artists on the stage. There, will be a
matinee every afternoon this week.
This afternoon the bill will be "Camllle"
and every lady will receive a souvenir.
Tonight. Bartley Campbell's "Liulley
Slave" will be produced.

BOARD OF CONTROL MEETS
Transacted a Large Amount of Routine
Business Last Night Number of
New Teachers Appointed.
The bourd of control covered a good
deal of ground during the forty-five
minutes it was in session last night.
It first adopted a number of important
recommendations of the teachers' com
mittee: That Miss Conner be made as
sistant to Professor Hawker and that
Miss Elizabeth Williams take Miss
Conner's grade; that Miss Rose Mee
hnn be permanently appointed to No.
24; that Miss Eliza Lewis and Miss
Mary Harris be permanently appointed
at Xo. i:i: that Miss Maud Powers be
appointed permanently at No. 21; that
night schools open on November 9, In
such schools as shall be designated by
the teachers' committee at the next
regular meeting; that the matter of ar
ranging sessions at No. 10 school be
referred to the superintendent and the
South Side directors.
Cpon the recommendation of the
building committee the contract for
erecting No. 2:1 building in the Third
ward was given to E. S. Williams, his
bid being $1:1.775. Mrs. W. H. Williams,
janitrpss of No. 24. was allowed an In
crease of salary of $5 per month on ac
count of the opening of an additional
room in that building. The proposition
of the Scranton Iron Fence company to
erect a tire-escape for $210. at No. 25,
where the rooms on the third floor are
to be opened up, was submitted by the
building committee and adopted, des
pite Mr. Jennings' protest against
awarding contracts without llrst secur
ing competitive bids.
The next report of the building com
mittee was a proposition from the
Perk Lumber company to build the re
taining wall at No. 10 for $1,310. Mr.
Gibbons and Mr. Barker made the same
objection that Mr. Jennings did in the
former case and the matter was re
ferred back to the committee with In
structions to procure bids.
MR. JACOBS EXPLAINED.
Mr. Jacobs, chairman of the commit
tee, explained that the Peck Lumber
company Is working on the ground
now and as It can get the stone needed
for the wall from the excavation, It
felt that it could do the work cheaper
than any other contractor and there
fore submitted the proposition. Archi
tect Davis was consulted and gave his
opinion that the figure was very rea
sonable. Mr. Jacobs added that the
committee was not to be understood as
submitting the propostton in the shape
of a recommendation.
Another recommendation of the
building committee also met with op
position from Mr. Gibbons. It was one
directing Architect Duckworth to pre
pare plans for the remodelling and al
teration or No. 2tf building in the Thir
teenth ward, represented by Mr.
Jacobs, the building committee chair
man. Mr. Gibbons argued that when
Mr. Jacobs' committee was considering
the enlargement of buildings It should
not stop at the chairman's ward, but
include ail buildings which are over
crowded and need alteration. "It's
ridiculous," said he, "the way the chil
dren are crowded into the South Side
schools, particularly Nos. 2 and a. The
children are coming upon us so fast,
down there, that we can't keep track of
them. 1 have no fault to find with that.
Let them come, but let us provide for
them as the law directs.''
Mr. Jacobs explained that he did not
expect to have this work done until
next summer. He was simply taking
time by the forelock us a precaution
against contingencies arising such as
In the long delayed No. 10 building in
Mr. Notz's ward. Any other member
who wanted to emulate his example
was at liberty to do so. The recom
mendation was finally adopted.
un the recommendation of Chairman
Mitchell the question of securing an as
sistant to do the oftice work for Super
intendent Howell, in order that he
might be side to spend more time in
visiting the schools, was referred to
the teachers' committee, with power to

A request was received from Enter
prise lodge, Patriotic Order Sons of
America, and the Royal Arcanum of
the West Side for permission to raise
a flag over No. 16 school in the Four
teenth word when the building Is com
pleted. Mr. Jennings said the school al
ready possesses a flag and that the pu
pils are taking up penny collections to
secure a larger one. He would be
pleased, however, to have the board ac
cept the offer of the two societies con
ditioned that the children themselves

Alderman Wright yesterday dis

A. S. Cleveland by Frank McDermott, a

The prosecutor alleged that he
shipped Cleveland a quantity of apples
and that tne defendant failed to turn
over $200 of the proceeds. At the hear

bezzlement It was nothing more than a
dispute in the account and the charge
was consequently dismissed.
A settlement between the parties was
afterwards effected.

EMMETT A. BISHOP
' PLACED ON TRIAL
He Is an Old Man and Is Charged
with Enticing Little Girls.
BROUGHT THEM FROM PHILADELPHIA
They W ere Sisters and One of Them
lie Wanted lor IIouekccper-After
Installing Her in Hi Apartments
on Cedar Aveuue He I nfolded His
I)ctigniThc Case Went to the
Jury at 3 O'clock.
Enunett A. Bishop, charged with en
ticing and Inveigling girls under 16
years of age for Immoral purposes, was
put on trial yesterday in criminal court
before. Judge Archbald. District At
torney John R Jones conducted the
case for the commonwealth and At
torney John T. Martin was Bishop's
legal representative.
On August 1 lust Rev. P. C. Christ,
pastor of St. Mary's German church on
the South Side, was made acquainted
with the fact that Anabella and Helen
Elnlg, the former 15 and the latter 10
years old, of Philadelphia, and children
of respectable German Catholic par
ents, were in the clutches of Bishop at
rooms in the Miller block on Cedar ave
nue hetween River and Hickory streets.
The little girls had fled to the convent
of St. Mary's church for protection, and
In that way Father Christ was made
aware of It.
He sent for Mrs.- W .B. Duggan and
she took the children in charge and
learned from them that Bishop went to
Philadelphia, represented he was In the
hotel business In Scranton, and wanted
a girl to do work for him. He pro
mised good wages and was willing to
take Helen, the 10 year old girl, along
that Anabella might not be lonesome.
The parents of the girl are poor, and
confiding in Bishop's assumed honesty
of purpose they consented to let both
girls go with him. He represented that
he owned one of the largest brick build
ings in Scranton.
SENT TO COUNTY JAIL.
Mrs. Duggan had a warrant sworn
out for his arrest, and In default of bail
he was sent to the county Jail where he
lias remained since. The girls have
been domiciled at the House of the
Good Shepherd since at the suggestion
of District Attorney Jones.
tusnop is bO years old and has any
thing but a venerable countenance. He
didn't seem to be very greatly disturbed
yesterday at the very many uncom
plimentary things said of him bv the
older of his victims and the district at
torney. Mr. Jones applied the term
monster as expressive of the defend
ant's calibre.
Helen Elnlg, the younger of the two
girls, was put on the stand first, but
she became so hysterical that she had
to be taken out of the court room be
fore she told more than an incoherent
story of the case. She is a bright, pret
ty little girl.
Her Bister, Anabella, was then put on
the stand, and though she was nervous
at times, she answered the questions
put to ner in a straightforward and
convincing style. She has a good edu
cation, and was able to meet Mr. Mar
tin s attempt to confuse her on cross
examination by more than once turn
ing the laugh on him.
STORY OF THE GIRL.
The story she told in a general w ay
was that she was introduced to Bishop
et the employment agency of a Mrs.
Hunter, 723 Tenth street, Philadelphia,
early last August. It was represented
that he wanted a girl to work for him
In his hotel In scranton at good wages.
She believed he was telling the truth
and after her parents were satisfied she
agreed to come. Before thy gave their
decision Bishop suggested that Helen,
the younger girl, might come as a com
panion, and that this Inducement on
his part resulted In making them be-
lieve he was all right. They camo and
reached Scranton about 10.:)0 at night.
He brought them to his rooms on Cedar
avenue, and when she saw the dirty,
dingy apartments he ushered them into.
her expectation being raised to hoping
for a comfortable and well-furnished
household, she immediately niude up
her mind that there was something
wrong.
Ulsnop gave them a bedxoom f-T
themselves and did not In any wuy
molest them from the night they ar
rived until a week, all but n day, later.
Then he made improper proposals to
her In the bedroom within tht hearing
of the other girl. She remained stand
fast ugainst his infamous proposition
and herself und sister cried almost all
night. Tim next morning the younger
one went out and told her story to the
ulsters ot St. Mary's convent, and they
were rescued from the talons ot the
human vulture.
FIFTEEN YEARd OF ACE.
She could not give positive testimony
as to her age, but she says her parents
told her she was only lu years old when
she left home.
The defense was that It was a rase
of an old man after a young wife, and
a foolish girl. Bishop said he wanted
a housekeeper and went to Philadel
phia just to see the place, but while
there combined business with pleasure
and went to Mrs. Hunter's place. She
told him she had some one she, could
recommend to suit him and made an
appointment with him to call around
the next day. He did so and met the
Einig girl.
While they wye talking over the
terms, etc., he mentioned the fuct that
if he got a nice person for housekeeper
he might marry her after awhilo. The
girl saJd she was satisfied to marry him
if he was rich, as he represented, anil
when he urged her to weigh well the
fact that he was an old man and she
a young gliL That didn't matter, she
said.
Bishop said his occupation is that of
carriage maker In the employ of Oscar
llelrelgel, of Cedar avenue, and he pro
fessed only the most, honorable Inten
tion In bringing the Einig girls to his
parlors. District Attorney Jones was
ready for him. 1Tb had a bundle of let
ters found in Bishop's apartments when
he was arrested showing that he has
been industriously engaged in the busi
ness of getting housckepeers.
MR. MARTIN S ARGUMENT.
Mr. Martin argued to the Jury that
the girl was not so Innocent as the com
monwealth strove to paint. Mr. Jones
in his argument said that the English
language does not contain epithets
black enough to apply to Bishop's base
ness. He said he had read of hardened
criminals, who would hesitate at
scarcely no crime, but it was only an
exceptional one of them that would
hurt a child. The public will approve
a verdict of guilty, he said, and when
the jurors go home they can look their
families in the face and say they have
done a service for the home and the
community and the honor and virtue of
young girls and children of a tender
age. that this crime shall not go un
punished. Judge Archbald finished his charge at
B o'clock, and the Jury retired, and later
In the evening agreed upon a verdict
which was sealed and will be handed
into court this morning.
THEY WERE DEAR CHICKENS.
William Wall, Indicted for larceny
and receiving, thought it would be bet
ter to acknowledge his guilt and throw
himself on the mercy of the court. He
stole six chickens from Louis B. Ayers,
of Schultzvllle, and Judge Archbald
sentenced him to spend nine months In
the county jail.
The first case tried was that of the
commonwealth against Margaret Ann
Schoonover, charged with malicious
mischief, Mrs. Catherine A. Richard-
on being the prosecutor. The defend
ant had no one to defend hirv and the
court assigned Attorney James J.
O'Malley to perform that tusk. Mr.
O'Mulley succeeded In getting her ac
quitted and two-thirds of the costs
were placed on Mrs. Richardson.
In the case against "Bob" Davis. In
which he was charged with carrying
concealed weapons and pointing a pis
tol, verdicts of not guilty were taken
and the costs were put on the county.
Martin Cunningham was not around to
prosecutu his cafie of assault and bat
tery against James Jennings and a ver
dict of not guilty was taken and Cun
ningham was saddled with the costs.
