At a meeting of the New KnKlund So ciety of Northeastern Pennsylvania, last night in the board of trade rooms, otliceis were elected to serve one year and the first steps taken in connection with the annual banquet on December "2 In memory of Forefathers Day. Sev eral meetings will he held before the date of the bnmiuet. There were present last night Sec retary J. Harrv Fisher, Treasurer A. C. Fuller. H. K. Paine. Alderman O. H. Wright. J. L. Post, .1. S. Lansing, t.-roy Wheeler, W. A. Wilcox. Charles It. Sanderson, Levi J. Northrop and P.obert Law. .if Pittston. II. K. Paine was chosen chairman. K. It. Sturg s was elected president, and 51ajor Kvcrett Warren, vice presi dent, and 51 r. Fisher and .Mr. Fuller were respectively re-elected sceretaty and trensuivr. 5Ir. Sturges was last year's vice-president, and according to past custom advances to the society s major otllce. In which position he will, with tho aid of nn entertainment com mittee, proceed with the banquet ar rangements, reporting nt a future meet ing. The report of Treasttver Fuller con tained the following1 items: Balance fioni 1SSI4, $13(1.84; from new members, 1WI.1. $1(15; dues, ISM. $:)"hi; from the sale of tickets for guests of members, $10; total, $i'.fi.!.S4; cost of banquet, 1MI', $4:lt;.M; present balance. SJ2H.34. The hnlance was stated to be the largest In the society's history. PRICE OF TICKETS. It was decided that $3 be charged this year for each guest's banquet ticket. Heretofore the charge has been only $:i.'i0, an an ount insulllelent to eovr th cost per plate. This fart and that of the Increased balance in the treasury do not appear to be compatible, but the treasury sum Is explained by the fact that a member's dues must be paid whether he attends the banquet or not. The application of Russell Dlmmick, of this city, for membership was ap proved, but those of Dr. E. T. Wheaton, Dr. A. D. Preston and W. J. Northrop were referred to the membership com mittee, the applicants not having ueen received ill the required form. For banquet speakers, Hev. A. B. Raymond, of Union college: W. H. 5lae Elroy, of the Rochester Post Express, and Rev. Russell Comvell, of Phila delphia, were recommended. Their names were referred to the entertalOj nient committee. Secretary Fisher and W. A. Wilcox last year were appointed to draft ami report by-laws and report concerning the suggestion of some members that the society bo chartered. Their report was presented, but meanwhile the by laws adopted nt the organization of the society In were found and be cause of this the report was returned to the committee for further consid eration, and Treasurer Fuller was, on motion, added to the committee. 5Ir. Paine and Mr. Wheeler urged that the by-laws provide for a so ciety historian. No action was taken on the matter. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the president. In past years the work of the de tailed arranging for the banquets hns been left to the president, an enter tainment committee to be appointed by him and the secretary and treas urer. This custom will he followed now. The speakers, place, souvenirs, music and all else pertaining to the feasting will be attended to by those gentlemen. It hns been the practice not to make public any of the plans beyond the location of the banquet hall. Each venr the tone of the commem orative sinead has Improved and the number of Its participants Increased. Ninety-one persons sat at table in the Hotel Terrace last year, plates hav ing to be placed for about fifteen more persons than had been expected. This year's affair will undoubtedly be at tended by at least one hundred and possibly more descendents of New Eng land stock and their friends. AMUSEMENTS. "The Great Diamond Robbery," the new exciting melodrama, by Edward M. Alfriend and A. C. Wheeler, which scored such a phenomenal hit during its recent engagement In Kew York city, will be presented at the Academy of Music to-night and to-morrow night. Tlie story starts with tho theft of costly diamonds nnd a murder. The develop ments, which place the crime upon an Innocent young man, are interwoven with the political Intrigues and the final downfall of a corrupt political hand. The scenes Include a mansion on Lex ington avenue, a Houston street cloth ing store, p ilfelike picture of the Hoff man House famous cafe, . an under ground den in the criminal quarter of Gotham, and n Fifth avenue drawing room. The same original cast, includ ing such famous artists ns Rose Ey tinge, Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Selene Johnson, Fanny Cohen, Irene Haywavd. Louise Closser, Ellen Cuinmlns, W. A. Whitecar. Edward Ames, Thomas 51. Hunter, Joseph E. Whiting. George C. Boniface, J. H. Cosser, Joseph Bell, Gustave Frankel. Joseph A. Wilkes, James Bevlns, James Floyd. John Jones, and E. M. Bartlett. The same elaborate scenery, properties and ef fects which marked Its marvelous run in New York, will be used upon Its pro duction here. John W. Isham's "Octoroons." which appear at the Academy Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee, is such a novelty as pleases everyone who wishes to be entertained and pleasnntly amused. Some of the good things to be Introduced between the comedies nnd operas: "I Love You Better Than All," a duet by the King sisters: "On the Boulevarde," by Frank Mallory and Mamie Emerson: "Isham's Octoroon Quartette," directed by Mazy Brooks; "Cripple Creek Gang," by George A. Hammond; "Four Little Tea Vendors from China," a highly amusing quar tette, and "The Hottest Nigger In Town." by Bob Kelly, which is hil ariously funny. Besides these there are various other divertispments. all of which concludes with "Thirty Minutes Around the Operas." wherein all lovers of music will be afforded a treat by the selections rendered from the best operas. Saturday evening Maggie Cllne. one of the greatest female Irish character delineators of the present day, will be seen at the Frothlngham In "On Broad way," one of the dramatic successes of the season. No star has -ever appeared in New York that has met with such favorable criticism from the press and public as Maggie Cllne did at the Grand Opera House, where she made her metropolitan debut as a star f- "tin Broadway." The receipts for the week from the opening night steadily in creased and standing room only was displayed at every performance. Maggie Cllne'g success as a star Is firmly established, and she will be one of the big drawing cards on the road this season, as her reputation Is not conlined to New York, but Is national. Manager Kerr, of the Frothlngham, has decided to abolish the ticket office In the lobby of the theater. The two rooms nearest to the theater on the Westminster side of the Arcade are be ing fitted up for a ticket other, and a private office for Manager Kerr, and within a few days they will be In use. This arrangement will be more con venient. Christmas. New Year, Fourth of July and other holidays are looked forward to with delight as they bring enjoyment. There is something which causes one to feel that the day was created for revelry. So it Is with Pete Baker's dialect comedy, "Chris and Lena," which Is to be presented at Davis's theater Thursday, November 12, and balance of the week. The players are all talented, while the specialties are novel and with such nn Interesting theme ns "Chris and Lena." It cannot be otherwise. If you wish to pass nn evening or afternoon of joviality don't fail to be nt the theater during this notable engagement. THOSE TICKET SELLERS. Board of Associated Charities Is Anxious to Put a Stop to the Imposition Practiced by Humbugs. At last evening's meeting of the Board of Associated Charities it was decided to make a new departure in the matter of ralsin:r money to carry on the work of the board. A project has been under consideration for some time of conductins an entertainment, "5lnrrlage Dances of All Nations." : which has met with great .favor in I all parts of the country. It was Anally , decided last niglA to abandon the en- tertainment idea and appeal directly I to the charitable. The suggectlon came ; from Rev. Hogers Israel, secretary of the board. The preFidnt, Colonel E. H. Uipplo, ; and tt'e treasurer, W. T. Smith, were j designated as a committee to select ' small committees to visit residents i of the city who w ill be willing to give i a fixed sum annually to the board and i solicit their subscription. It would require from $l.."i(K) to $'2.0.00 to proper ly carry on the work of the board, and it Is thought that this sum can b raised by subscriptions. At all events the effort will be made. MANAGER DAVIS THANKED. Treasurer Smith's report acknowl ', edged the receipt of some contributions, : but showed that the finances of the 1 board need strengthening. The sec j retary was instructed to write a let ter to Manager Davis, of Davis' the ater, conveying the thanks of the ; board foi his recent benetlt. "He does more for ns than any one man In the city," nnd "lie's a grand, good man," were some of the comments made on Mr. Davis. Thomas .Moore, chairman of the re lief committee, reported that during the Inst month applications for relief have not been so numerous. Those found worthy he recommended to Sup erintendent Phillips, of Nay Aug park, who gave them work in the park. The ticket selling nuisance came up for consideration, and several cases were brought to the attention of the board, where persons were around sell ing tickets for rallies, dinners and dances for the benefit of persons who have no existence in fact. So many of these humbugs are Imposing on the charitable that the board requests mer chants and others to refer the ticket sellers to the agent of the board, Mrs. W. H. Duggan, that their cases may be investigated. THE MONTGO.VERY CHILDREN. There was some discussion as to the best thing to do with the four chil dren of Thomas nnd Mary Montgom ery, worthless parents, who spend the greater purt of their time In Jail. The children are now in, St. Patrick's or phan asylum, and it was decided to have them Indentured Into good fam ilies if possible. The parents are of Intemperate habits and do not care for them. 5Irs. Duggan, the hoard's agent. In her report for October set forth that she investigated fifty-one cases and found forty-two of them worthy. Three persons were furnished with work, three with lodging and meals, two with transportation, two were sent to hos pitals, fifteen to institutions, five re turned to parents, two cases reported to district attorney, two to chief of police, six beggars and frauds exposed and four cases referred to the board's nurse. That official reported that she had cared for nine cases during the month. . The board will hold Its annual meet ing on the second Tuesday of January. J. R. BEETEM RESIGNS. Severed His Connection with Phila delphia I nion Traction Company. General Manager J. R. Beetem, of the Cnlon Truction company, yester day presented his resignation to the executive committee of the board of directors of tin? company. This ac tion on the Pari of Mr. Itcetein was not unexpected, as for some time past he has been considering the accept ance of a very responsible and more Impoitant position with a street rail way system in another city. With this fact in consideration the directors consented to accept the resignation. No appointment, was made to succeed Mr. Beetem. tine of the directors of the company, speaking of Mr. lieetem's retirement from the direction of the affairs of the company, stated: "We have lost a most ellicUnl general manager, and his place will be hard to till, t'nder his plans the organization of the system has been made almost perfect In its operation, the three big traction sys tems forming the ITnlon company be ing welded together like a perfect piece of machinery. t'nder 51 r. Beetem's control the street car service of Phila delnhia, as we believe, has been brought to a higher state of elliciency than any other electrical system in the country, and the company and the public have alike been the gainers. He Is one of the few men we know of in the country who has a practical knowl edge of all branches of the street rail way business, or who could have brought the Pnlon Traction system up to Its high state of elliciency during his connection with it." Philadelphia Record. Mr. Beetem. until about a year nnd a half ago was manager of the Scrnn ton Traction company, nnd went from here to Philadelphia to become gen eral manarrer of the People's Traction company. When the consolidation of the Philadelphia lines took place 5Ir. Beetem became the head of the system as the general manager of the t'nion Traction company. - - - At a special meeting of the Throop Stove company, held yesterday, Mr. E. N. Shirer was elected a director, to fill the unexpired term of 5Ir. J. 51. Ash, deceased.

Two P ntutitt ilet Verdicts by lira ou of the on-Aiicnrnnce of le truduntshilrur Case Settled. On account of the Identity of inter ests a husband is incompetent us a witness in any Instance In which a wife is incompetent and vice versa This, a Supreme court ruling, yester day defeated a cnuse which Attorney D. B. Keplogle was pleading in civic court. It was in the case of 5Iary Klef er against John Hitter, executor of the estate of Julia C.iebig, lute of Pet ersburg. 51rs. Hiring wus an Invalid and for forty weeks before her death required constant and watchful cure. Mrs. Kiefer, who is the wife of Mrs. Giebig's nephew, nursed Mrs. Giebig during all this time, partly, sho al leged, because she considered it her duty as a relative, and partly because she would be "paid and paid well" for It. 5lrs. Kiefer and her husband. Philip Kiefer, were the only witnesses who could give direct testimony of this ver bal contract. Mrs. Kiefer was pro hibited from testifying by reason of the law which precludes the evidence of one party to a contract when the other Is dend. 5Ir. Kiefer. however, was thought to be competent and was put on the stand to testify to the con tract. C051EGYS Ql'OTED LAW. Mr. Comegys, attorney for the de fense, brought up the seldom quoted ruling, making the husband incom petent when the wife Is incompetent, and after a. short argument between the attorneys. Judge Edwards direct ed the witness to leave the stand. None of the other witnesses could supply the necessary link and on the Instruc tion of the court Hie Jury found for the defendant. The jury in the case of Edith Walker against the city of Scranton could not see that she was entitled to any of the $'G,000 she claimed she suhtaincd by fulling over a stone which the city negligently allowed to project above the sidewalk on the noriheant corner of Lackawanna avenue and Ninth street. The case was given to the Jury al 2.30 o'clock p. ni., and. an hour and a quarter later they returned with a verdict lor the defendant. C. L. Tyler's claim for $14 wages against Arthur Frothlngham was called for trial during the afternoon, but as no one appeared to combat the plaintiff's statements. Judge Edwards directed a verdict ngainst the defend ants. D. B. Reploge represented Tyler. A verdict for the plaintiff was also directed In the case of Thomas Jenkins against Michael Brink, no one appear ing for the defense. The action was to secure possession of a quan tity of goods held by Brink. Attor ney W. Gaylord Thomas appeared for the plaintiff. KILCCR CASE SETTLED. The case of Patrick Kilcnr against the Kdgrrton Coal company, limited, which was on the list for trial yester day, was amicably settled at a con ference between O'Brien Kelly, at torneys for the plaintiff, and Warren A Knapp, who represented the de fendant company. Kilcurwas employed in tan I In tho capacity of an oiler at the Edgerton Coal company's breaker, and one day had an arm taken off In the monKey rollers used In that colliery for crush ing coal. He Is now employed as sta tion agent by the Delaware and Hud son Canal company at Maylield.
