Satuiday after noon Miss Susan 1. Dickinson was un ilutgoliiK n llgld cross-exumliiation at the hands of Attorney Hodge, of coun sel for the plaintiff. .Miss Susan Dickinson was on the stand under dliect. examination when couit adjourned Krlday afternoon, but when couit met Hatuiclny she wus not tcculled to the stand until after Thos, K. Hallow, assistant district attorney of Philadelphia, and the legal member of the committee on lunacy of the Stnte Hoaul of Charities had been heard, Mr. Ii.it low swoie that he visited the Dan ville Insane usvluni In response to a letter which Miss Dickinson wiote to the state bond. He thought she was Insane. Mr Zlodge In cioss-examlnlng1 Mi. llailow diew foith some very caus tic replies. Aftei Mr. Hallow left the stand Miss Susan -Dickinson was 10 cullcd. She said that an electrician named Mr. Hall called to tieat Anna's face u numbei of times in .faniuuy, 1SB1. One day the plaintiff sent her maid, Maltha, to Hall's six times foi his bill, and when Mr. Hall brought the iccelpt about "1 o'clock In the evening, Anna said she knew the iccelpt was woith lcss. Witness looked at It. saw that It was all light, nnd told Anna so. Anna was displeased with this nnd told her to go to her 100m. She did so. and soon nfterwatds heard "Ho out of my house. you devil!" and saw Anna push Mr. Hall out of the house. A WICKHD ODD MAX. Anna asked her on one occasion If she remembered when they w ent to see the poet Whittler at his home In New Dngland. Susan said she did, nnd then Anna remaiked that 'Whittler was a wicked old man. At another time An na asked Multhu to bilng her a lump, but witness lefused to allow the maid to comply with the order. Anna Im agined that there weie peisons In the attic and she wanted the lamp to go up thete. Witness lefused to let her have It, because she was afraid she would set Hie to the house. When the maid lefused to bilng Anna the lamp, s-he chased her out of the house and down the stieet. Witness then explained how Anna choked her on one occasion when she went to her loom to cet some trays on which food had been can led to Anna. She told Mattha ,to go and get some one and the maid soon leturned with Young Hggleston. When Anna saw him she lellncuilshed her gi asp on wit ness' tin oat. The removal of Anna to the Insane asylum was descilbed In de tail and her subsequent lemoval to Ooshen, N. Y. Mis. Dllzaboth Haveitnn, of Mont clalr, N. J., wrote to witness stating a case which had been cuied by Dr. John Seward, of oshen, nnd witness ob tained Anna removal from the asy lum to Goshen. The money for the re moval and tieatment nt Goshen was furnished by Geneinl Chrlstlanson, of Hiooklyn. N. Y. She found a number of Anna's valuables In a tiunk In the ganet and sent them all to the Mlneis' Savings bank ii I'lttston, with the ex ception of one nrtlde which was valued nt $.'00. This she used to lalse money on with which to pay the lent. Afterwnids she secured money and ledeemed the Jewel, which was placed with the lest. Afterwauls all the Jew elry was dellveied to Mis. Ackeily, o' New Yoik, who came to her with 11 note fiom Howe & Hummell, Her sis ter's tiuuks weie all conveyed to New York tluouKh the same means. The letter which Mis. Aclceily brought as an older for these goods was offered In evidence. ON CIJOSS-DXAMINATION. The cross-examination of the witness by Attorney Hodge was veiy seaichlng. She said that some of the money to pay the lent while they lived in West I'lttston was furnished by Geneial Hen Hutler, who wan one of Aniifi's warm fi lends nml frequently visited them ut their home. "Weie vou ever Jealous of youi sis ter?" asked Attorney Hodge. "No: I was very pioud of her, and did all I could" to help her. I did all I could for her until she hud to go out of public life." "Wlio c aused her to j;o out, you or she?" "She o".'. she went out of her mind." "1'ait of The services you lendeied to youi sister In l'lillndelphla was entertaining- pel sons In your home, fi lends ot hei's'.'" "Yes; many nubile, men professed both friendship and admiration for Anna." Witness said her sister was Intimate, ly acquainted with Whltelaw Held. Mr. Hodiie tiled to get fujpi the wit ness the admission that jfrT Held pro pwed manlage to Anna and was Jilted, but couit tilled that such testimony was not admissible. "It was true that theie wns haidly u man of note In the countiy whom your sister did not know V" "That is pietty sweeping. She knew a sieai many." "It wus she who slnuic-handed and nlono dffendeil Geneial Hutler when the entlr noithern piess uttacked him because ot his conduct at New Oilcans, and It was she who cleared him of that Imputation?'' "It has m-ver been cleared In some people's minds, but It was becuuse of vvlmt she saiq In his behalf that he be came ho frleildly to her." "The fileudthlp suddenly ceased for some leason?" "Yes." HKH SISTKH'H DELUSIONS. "Can you state any delusions your sister had'" "J thought It was erne when she said Charles Dudley Wurner had stolen ar ticles which 1 wn publishing over his name In Haipers, fiom letters of heis written from Colorado years before." "They weie aiBly embodied lit a book of her's entitled 'A Hagged Jtegls terr " "Yes," "They could have ben taken from that?" 1 "She didn't say so: she said they Nveie stolen from her lettets." "When you found your sister was In Rane It was 11 shock to you?" "Don't put Hint woid 'Insane' In my mouth. I never used It. 1 said he wns out of her, mind. The next delu sion was when she said her lawyers vvcte In a conspliacy against her. She was discussing with Mr. Slnton nhout goInK on the stage, und then she claim ed he wns In 11 conspiracy with that committee. I thought It a delusion when she said every woman in the country who wns before the public wus In n conspiracy to keep her dovv n." She denied thnt her slstpr was mak ing u study of politics and the carper of Clmile- Slcwurt l'ainell, duilng 190 and 1W1. Anna, she said, seemed lil ccned over the treatment I'arnell was leeching and talked ubout. delivering a lecture on the, subject. She had some coriespondence with n lecture malinger about It. fine tlmn her sister pointed to the picture of nu ICaster lllv on the wall and said to seveial gentlemen who weie in eent: "That Is the sciul of my brother, lCdwin, and shows how puie It was." She thought this was decided evidence that her slstei's mind was unbalanced. AMUSEMENTS.

No one. last night, could foiccnst with rtny degiee of certainty what the outcome at this morning's woik of councils will be. If all men weie given to telllnir the Until, the whole truth, and nothing but the tiutli. nnd not prone to sudden changes of sentiment. It might be possible for a live newspa per after some real haul canvassing to make 11 fairly accuiate guess us to, the possible lesults, but as men ate not as u mle sitting up nlgbts nuislng un such complaints ur veiaclty or tenac ity of pui pose, the fuieshadowlng of an event 01 seiles of events such us those scheduled fur today, Is. us said before-, a tuther lash undei tuklnif. The events most especially sutroiind ed with unceitaluty are the tieatment that will lie- aceoulod the unnuul ap propilntlon oidlnance and the manner In which the leoiganteatlon of com mon council will be effected. The Democtats, or those who nie rec ORnlzed .as their spokesmen, say that the old common council will not meet again and that the Republican select binnch must ie-elnd its objectionable amendments or shoulder the ichponsl hlllty of killing the nidlnance. They also say that Mr. Nealls will be chosen chad man of the lower branch and that possibly a suipilse will be tun urn; In the shape of a wlnnlmr candidate for the chair In the upper biuneh. The- llepubllcnns say that the Dem ociuts ure talking and aetluu like so many child! en lather than city fa theis buideiied with the lesponslblll ties of the government of the thlid city In the commonwealth. Thev also de-claic- that If common council does not meet to consider the amendments, the ordinance will die, as the select coun cil Is not to be fenced Into denvlng It self the prerogative of legislating ur It may deem lit, through any baby tactics ot the Dcmociatlc lower brunch. CHARACTERIZED AS ROT. Defection ill the Republican ranks In tho upper blanch Is characterized as the veilest lot, anil as to the Indubit able election of Mr. Nealls, they say well, they say nothing: but they smell a veiy mysteilous kind of smell II y caiefully reading the nbove unblused burvej of the situation, folding up the paper and waiting until about 11 o'clock, the tender can leadlly nit Ke nt the full knowledge ot the ic-sult. Intel views with vailoim meinbets of the Demociacy of the lower binnch discloses their Intention to lellgiously ailheie to the detei initiation not to go near the council chamber until the hour for reorganization, 10 o'clock-. They will meet at John Klanaghan's Globe hotel, and not because they dis trust one another, but simply ns a mat ter of extia piecautlon, will lock them selves In a room and -stay there juntll about ten minutes of the time for le oiganlzatlon. At the caucus Friday night every one of the Democrats of the dying or, as they c lalm, dead council piomlsed to stick together In this aEieement. One of them, however, Mr. Gtlioy, re fused to bind himself farther. Mr. Nealls assaulted and Insulted him at the last reorganlzatlon.and used all the power of the Nealls faction to defeat htm for ie. election In Febiuaiy, and he openly and above boaid lefuses to suppoit him for ehnliman. Whether or not Mr. Gller can be depended upon to peacefully submit to be lldden over lough shod by his ancient and moital enemies Is another question that. If an- sweied to the satisfaction of the Nealls people, would lelleve them of much tiepldatlon. Mr. Grler did not come Into line of his own accord. He was whipped In by a contest which Is to be vvlthdiawn If he will allow himself to be handled by his enemies. The Demociats them selves confehs that they an- not overly sanguine- of the wily Grler, who twice befoie trave '.hem seveie chastisement for t lying to coeice him. The fact that the Nealls people and the Intel ests ut their command went Into Giles's ward and tiled to beat him, and falllns lu this, Instigated a contest to frighten him Into Hue, would lead n man up a tree to believe that Grler has, been slniuly Joll.vlng his enemies along so as to make- their thiow down nil the mote gainful. MAY UK I'RKSIDKNT. Grler Is cunning and Grler is vlneile tlve. and If he doesn't Uo something that will show his enemies that Iip la far frnin being the thoioughly bioken down war hoit-e they picture him, 'it will be a disappointment to those who have watched the political cau-ei of the young gentlemnn S10111 the Thlid It would not be surptlslng If It would be Pi evident filler for another year. 11. C Hatton, clerk of the lower binnch. will be ie-elected, the wlce acies say, although It will not be with out opposition. Mi. Flanaghan de elated at the Demociat - caucus th-t he tvould not vote foi a Republican cleik with the- De-mociats In the major ity, and It Is his pui pose- to nominate John 1'. Mnhoii or W. F. McLean nml have u toll call, that his colleagues may be put nu rec-oul. Colonel George Samlet sun will be re elected chairman In the upper biaueh. Clerk I.avelle hedels over There are no new membeis to be Inducted and the Demociats will nut likely even put u cundlelate against Colunel Sander son, so nil In all, the icorgnulzattou of the upper biuuch will be u veiy tame uffuir. Tho nine Republlcun numbers of common council will be on hiinil ut 0 o'clock and may possibly proceed to hold u meeting Hlx of them, one, more than the ic-qulnd number, made n de mand on I'l evident Oilei Filday ulsht to call a special meeting for o'clock this inoinliig. Mr. Oiler has not us yet Issued the call, nnd us It must be Is sued twenty-four hotus pn-vlous to the appointed time, It can not now be is sued. Whether or not the meeting will take dace depends entliely on the way the law hus been Interpieted, to them by the nuthuiltles from whom' legal advice has been sought since the complication uroie. It inuy he tliut they will Jake It that the Democrats who voted to ad journ sine die before the time nie scribed by law have legislated them selves out of olllce, or vhtually re signed, uml In that ease those who ie maln, though they do not make a quoiuni, must iHegurHy tuny on tho city's business until such time us the new council 01uuulr.es. If this view is taken of the matter the appropriation ordinance will eome over from suleet council and be paired as amended. l'KHPUKXINCl DU.KMMA. The councils were never before in such a perplexing dilemma, ami Its outcome will be awaited with gloat In terest. In case tho uiuuoinliitlon or dinance Is licit passed, a new one must be Introduced by the next council, and nt tho best cannot be passed In much less time than four weeks, In the inenntlma the city will be without teventie, and no head of department cun spend u cent for supplies or labor. In addition to this the annual tax levy oidlnance, vvhloh should be opera tive by May 1, will be put back a month and the levying and collection of taxes will be dclaed Just that much lotiser, UNION DISBANDED.
