Solicitor James H. Tort'cy, moved In
court toquush MeNaniura's petition anil

LEFTTHECOMPANY.
Members of the Lester Aggregation of
Players Looking for the Manager
and the Star.
Happy in spirits over tho week's good
business that Scranton gave them, the
members of Minnie Lester's dramatic
company tripped lightly yesterday
morning from their hotel, the West
minster, to the Delawure nnd Hudson
station, where they were to tuke the
10.15 train for Carbondale, and they
sat In the station counting tho ticks of
tin? big-faced clock, watching and
waiting for the appearance of Minnie
L,ester herself, the "star" of the com
pany; and, mote Important yet, they
strained their eyes for George K.
Mitchell, owner of the show, and the
man who held all moneys thereof.
They walled In vain.
Hrlelly stated, here is the condition of
affalis: The man Mitchell, though
that Is not what the actors call him,
left Scranton yesterday morning for
Hethlehem, taking with lilm unbe
knownst to the company, Miss Minnie
Lester, who Is his wife, their little
4-year-old son, the boy's nurse and tho
proceeds of the last week's engage
ment. When the fact of tho desertion was
known to the company, all except one
member left on a later train for Cur
nondalc. This one Is Charles J. Har
ris, stage manager. He sought Chief
H' Police Robllng, who dlseoveted the
whereabouts of Mitchell, and by tele
graph ordered his arrest at Bethle
hem. In the afternoon Harris swore
out a warrant before Alderman O. B.
Wright charging Mitchell with the em
bezzlement of "from $700 to $S00 due
to sundry persons."
The sundry persons are the members
of the company, who have not been
paid their salaries for live weeks. Con
stable John Tierney was given the
warrant and left on the 4.30 Jersey
Central train for Bethlehem. Mitchell
will probably be brought back today.
When the company got to Carbon
dale, where they were billed for a
week's engagement, they were con
fronted with the absence of the lead
ing lady, Miss Lester. That seemed to
cut little llgure, as Stage Manager
Harris said, and the regular perform
ance was given last night, an under
study taking Miss Lester's part.
The members of the company seem to
think that Miss Lester will be back
In the ranks for tonight's performance.
THEY WERE ON THE BORROW.
Money Stiiiigcuey Mnl;e. Itself Felt
Among the Liquor Dealers.
Yesterday wus the last day for taking
out liquor licenses and Xroni eaily
morning until 6 o'clock in theeenlng,
County Treusnier Schudt wus kept
busy handlnsr out little slips of paper
that cost anywhere from $73 to $300.
Owing to the rush of business the
treasurer was not able to llgure out ex
actly how many licenses were taken
out, but he was quite positive that a
number id' those who were granted
licenses did nut take udvuntage of the
pilvllege given thi'in.
The haul times and consequent poor
business left many of the retailers with
out tliu necessary license fee und the
bi ewers and wholesalers were as a le
sult culled upon In many cases to put
up for their patrons. So general was
the demand for loans that It gave Use
to a Joke that one of the brewery of
llces were closed yesterday.

DICKINSON CASE
AGAIN ON TRIAL
Famous Woman Seeks to Recover Fifty
Thousand Dollars Onmugcs.
INJURIES THAT SHE ALLEGES
Snys Her Apartments Was ttmlcly
Itrokcn Into, That Shu Was Seized
mill Taken to Dunville Insane Asy
lum Where Slio Wus Incarcerated.
.Miss Dickinson Was the First and
the Only Witness on the Witness
Stand Yesterday.
In the United States circuit court
yesterday afternoon Judge Aeheson
called for trial the case of Miss Anna
Dickinson agulnst John Courtrlght,
George 13. Thompson, Allan Kggleston,
John H. Hellnian.Dr. Gideon Underwood
and Henry Bryden, whom she accuses
of having unlawfully seized her -and
caused her to be Incarcerated In the
Danville asylum. The defendants are
residents ot Plttston und West Hltts
ton and all of them were friends of the
Dickinson family prior to Feb. 23, ISM,
when the things complained of took
place. Miss Dickinson's suit Is for the
purpose of recovering $30,000, and this
Is the second trial. It was called up
before Judge Aeheson In this city on
March 23, 1S93, and on April 10 the
Jury was discharged because It could
not come to an agreement. Since the
last trial Dr. Underwood has passed
away.
None of the counsel employed in the
case on Its former trial here are In
the case now. Miss Dickinson Is rep
resented by Attorney J. Asplnwnll
Hodge nnd J. M. Ferguson, of New
York city, and Attorney Horace K.
Hand, of this city, and the defendants
by Attorney A. A. Vosburg and C. W.
Dawson, of the local bar. Miss Dick
inson looks as If she enjoyed better
health than when she was In attend
ance at the trial two years Uiro.
She excites equally as much attention
as she did then. As on , the former
trial, Mrs. George Aekerly, of New
York, and Miss Louise McDonald, of
Wllkes-iiarre, are her constant com
panions. Mrs. McDonnld before lier
marriage was Miss Dickinson's maid,
and after the famous defendant's re
lease from Danville Insane asylum,
she went to reside with Mr. and Mrs.
Aekerly, near New York Pity. Mrs.
Aekerly Is now a, resident or New York
city, nnd Miss Dickinson also makes
that city her home.
STYIR DOES NOT WORRY HER.
Miss Dickinson's contempt for cur
rent fashions, which made her the ob
ject of much curious attention from
members of her sex two years ugo, Is
us pronounced as ever. She Is becom
ingly and sensibly attired, but It is In
dividuality, not modlshness, that is the
distinctive feature of her attire. Yes
terday she wore a gown made from
brown and white checked goods, which
was trimmed with wide, dark brown
braid. A red silk vest added a il.sh
of color to the general effect. The hat
which ornamented Miss Dickinson's
well poised head, was of mixed .straw
curiously fashioned. The otherwise
straight rim was slightly tilted on the
left side and under the rim, which was
faced with red, a large hunch of yel
low and red roses was fastened. Red
ilguied ribbon and red and yellow
roses were conspicuous in the or
namentation of the crown of the hat.
Her hair is worn quite short, and an
elastic band, which passes around the
back of the head, holds the hat In
position.
Miss Dickinson was the first witness
called and during the time she was on
the stand her sister, Miss Susan E.
Dickinson, occupied a seat In the court
room. Anna never for an instant al
lowed her eyes to rest on Susan's face
or give any Indication that she knew
her sister was present. When lefer
ilug to her lu her testimony she til
ways spoke of Susan not as her sister,
but as her mother's eldest daughter.
CALLED FOR TRIAL.
It was 2.K0 when Judge Aeheson
called the Dickinson ease for trial and
tile little United States court room
In the federal building was eiowdeil
with jurors, attorneys and spectators.
The wurk of selecting a juiy wus Imme
diately entered upon and Attorney
Hodge, of counsel fur Miss Dickinson,
asked permission to examine the Jurors
with lel'eience to their knowledge of
the ease for the purpose of uscertululng
If they had any piejudlce for or ugalnst
the defendants. He quoted a Penn
sylvania decision peimlttlng such ex
amination of Jurors iu cuses similar
to the Dickinson ease. Judge Ache
son said that lu his yeais on the United
States circuit court bench he hud
never heard of such a practice, but If
the state supreme court hud approved
of such examination he would allow it
and the examination was accordingly
made.
It required a little more than an
hour to select the following Jurors who
were sworn to well and truly try and
true deliverance make between the
plaintiff and defendants: Charles D.
Bradley, clerk, Pittsburg; Aaron
Brown, miller, Tunkhunnock; Cyius
W. Blackburn, farmer, Point, Bedford
county; W. S. Corbett insurance
agent. New Bethlehem, Clarion coun
ty; W. S. Coe, mayor, Parker, Arm
strong county; Henry Mussina, mer
chant, Cowan, Union county; James
Miller, farmer, Grant borough, Law
rence county; Henry Schoch, farmer,
Sellns Grove, Snyder county; Daniel
Trout, farmer, McConnellsbuig, Fulton
county; Vincent Tobln, lumberman,
Grant, Indiana county; Daniel M. Won
ders, teacher, New Paris, Bedford
county.,
After tho jurors were sworn Judge
Aeheson uunounced that they would go
over to the Superior court room in
the county court house, where the case
will continue on trial until It Is com
pleted, leuvlng the district court In un
disturbed possession of the federal
court room.
WHAT DECLARATION ALLEGES.
The declaration In the Dickinson case
alleges that on. Feb. 23, 1891, the de
fendants forced an entrance Into the
house and apartment of Miss
Dickinson, In West Plttston, and
seized her by force - und car
ried her from tho premises, without
providing her with suitable garments
and incarcerated her In Danville In
sane asylum. By reason of Injuries
she received und the exposure Incident
to her removal from tho house, she
wus mudo sick and lumu and wus still
suffering at the time the action wus
brought from the physical elfects and
mental anguish due to the treutment
she had received. For this und the
loss she sustained by reason of her
Incarceration lu the Danville Insane
asylum Miss Dickinson asks damages
In the sum of $50,000.

heaid no shots.

John Messctt; the Rnllroad avenue
achlnlst, who on Sunday night
stabbed. the. two Regan brothers, was
committed to Jull yesterday morning by
Mayor Bailey without bull to await the
result of the serious stabbing of Mi
chael Regan, who Is at the Lacka
wanna hospital. Regan's condition last
night was critical, though the hospital
surgeons think he Is more upt to re
cover than to die.
To the police Mess'ett made no denial
of his offense, but claimed he did tho
stabbing In self-defense. When ar
raigned before the mayor Messett wus
visibly affected. He said he was sorry
he had been obliged to use a knife; he
would rather he hud suffered tin ordi
nary beating at the bunds ot the Re
gans, but if he had not stabbed them
he would have been killed.
Mayor Bailey was asked to uccept
ball, but refused to do so In such a grave
case. Messett's face, aside from an
abrasion of the skin on one side of the
nose, showed no evidence of a desperate
fight.
