This vv 111 be the fifth appearance of Mr. Poweis In Scranton. He was le-ongaged by the committee Mho hao arranged the couise, In re sponse to a. veiy generally expressed wish on the pait of the patorns of the couise that this should be done. In tho eaily pait of last summer the committee found that Mr. Powers.' time was so fully taken up that It was ex ceedingly doubtful whether or not ho could appear In Scranton; but a per sonal appeal to him to anange a date for us if possible, led him to do so by auanging to cancel a date elsowheie. Mr. Powers will appear this iear in a new play entitled "Lord Chumloy," which is said to bo one of his best plays, nnd as there are ton char.icteis in It, It enables him to use his lemaikable ability as an lmpeisonator. To tho?o who have not yet heard Mr. Powers it can be said that he Is beyond doubt one of the most etsatlle men In the land. WOMAN FELL DOWN STAIRS.

Tho Jury at Hist stood one foi minder CLERK in the flist dogiee, five for second dc gioe and (ho for manslaughtei. The last llo lemained solid and giadually won oor the othois. Tho genual opin ion about the couit house was that the Jui laid gicat sttess upon the fad that loungOouseha lbeen bi ought up amidst vicious suiioundings and that the fath ei was himself In a gieat mcasuio le sponslble foi these suiioundings and consequent for his own death. Gouse will be sentenced today, most likely. Tho maximum penalty for man slaughter Is twelve eais and $1,000 fine. The maximum penalty for second degiee murdei is twenty eais without any mention of fine. In couit 100m No 2 the case of Mary Bums chat god, with keeping a dlsoi deily house In Rendham, occupied all tho moinlng and pait of tho afternoon It seems when eery pay day comes aiound Mis. Bums is wont to ask hei Italian and coloied nelghhois In to hae a good time. Although Mrs Bums is fiom "Bonny Scotland" and does not understand Italian or Ethiopian veiy well. She and her good tt lends know enough of each othet's language to get pietty diunlc together. One of her Italian calleis has a little glil who "lushed the giowlei" for the patty un til she got tiled of acting ns baitend ei and inauguiated a stiike. Her ra til er began beating the child when some of the nelghhois inteifeued and the boater was beaten. He lan Into Mis. Burns' house and she piotocted the swaithy son of Italy fiom tho ,tath of tho populace. SHD USED A POKEIt. When the constable came to berve the wauant she endeavoiod to use a poker to 111 til the wauant but dosttood In her eagerness one of her scieen doois. Mis. Bums was not intoxicated at all, she baS, but the good citizens of Ilend lum dumped her Into a wheel bauow and in this chailot she was taken to the 'htiulie'.s olllce, clad less than a whit moie tlaboiatel than Venus was when .she atose fiom the sea. Mis. Bums declaied that sdie was not boss of the house and should not be made the defendant. Peter, her husband, al so testified that ho and he alone was the boss. Some of the neighbors, how -ever, thought different John H. Wil liams, the piosecutor, aveired that he had no peisonal gilevance against Mis. Bums, but was acting for the com munity at laige, which was deslious of getting ild of Mis. Bums, her tilbe and theii Bniihumillan oigles The juiy In the case was out at adjournment.

Capp, but ow lng to the non-appearance of tho accuser, a verdict of not guilty was dltecttd. Patrick Kutchford, Jr., was tiled be fore Judge Edwaids for committing an assault and battel y upon Maty Wll hclm. It was alleged by the pioscu tilx that Ilatchfoid enteied her houso In a diunken condition August 1 last and when she drove him out he tinned on her, pushed her against a wall and fiactured three of her libs. Tho claim of the defense was that she received the Injury In falling while utemptlng to assault the defendant. The Jury Is still dlscusslns the question, "Did she fall, or was she pushed?" Seven cases weie given to a Jury at one time In the mnin court room.
