THE CURTAIN WAS RUNQ DOWN rnnnio Thntcher nnd I'.llicl Milton Were Singing to n Man In tho An dlouro When Mr. Dnvts Put n Sud den Stop to It Tho Words Thnt l'nsscd Between Mr. Davit nnd Mr. Itoovcs Altcrwnrds Aro the llnsts of tho Suit. When Fannie Thatcher and Ethel Milton, of tho Al. Beeves Big Burlesque show, sang their song "Oh, You Little Darling," nt the same time pointing out the "darling" In tho big audience at Davis' theater away back In the after noon of the fith day of April, this year, they piobably little thought of the trouble they were brewing. Fannlo Thatcher Is large, very large, and tho other half of the team la small. They had been warned against tiring their ammunition nt Individuals In the seats, but Fannie Thatcher and Ethel Milton know no rules, Asa result of the breach and subse quent happenings on that eventful day Al. Beeves, the proprietor of the show, who also plays a banjo, began suit be foio Alderman O. B. Wrigh't yesterday for the recovery of $106.33, which ho al leges la duo him on a. erbal contract forced upon Mr. Davis, owner of the theater, after tho unpleasant Incident. The summons will bo served upon Mr. Davis today. About POO persons welt remember the sensational llnish to the song. Mr. Davis himself went to the stage and, with his 0'n hands, lowered the cur tain. The play nt the expense of the nu'Uence, was against the printed rules of tho house. Tho company, Mr. Davis raid, had been warned against such conduct and his notion in cutting off Thatihor and Milton was the only way left to enforce tho rules. SHOW PROCEEDED. After a ikluy of several minutes, dining which the audience only guess ed what was going on behind tho scenes, the show proceeded. After tho performance Beeves waited upon Mr. Davis and announced his determina tion to cloe there und then. Not a single other pei formnnce would bo giv en at the theater. Moreover his com pany, said Beeves, would not play at Bitigliatnton where Beeves' company was billed. Beeves In his utll of particulars, after saying that Mr. Davis, the de fendant, "took exceptions to certain things In tho show" goes on to tell now ho plaintiff (Beeves) "postlvely i ef used to give any more performances under the same engagement, claiming that thu lowering of tho curtain by said defendant during tho progress of the first performance would so great ly reduce tho attendance at subseq uent performances that to continue under the original condition would prove unprofitable to said plaintiff." "And whereas, after the above men tioned performance was over said de fendant called upon plaintiff at the St. Chailes' hotel, where he was stop ping, and asked him to continue his shows for the remainder ot the three days, saying that It would Injure the leputatlon of tho theatre If there was any trouble and no performance. Plaintiff refused to continue under the old engagement but did agree to con tinue tho egagemont If said defendant would guarantee him an amount equal to that ho received for his last pre vious appearance In the same theatre which amount said defendant then and there promised nnd agreed to give him in consideration of his company com. pletlng their three days engagement. THE AGUEEMENT. "And whereas snld plaintiff and his company did contlnuo to play ut said defendants houso for the three days as orglnally billed with tho express understanding and agreement that plaintiff was to reeelvo for his own nnd his company's services the said sum." Beeves concludes that Mr. Davis still owes him $100.33 on the side contract made at the St. Charles. John H. Perry, a member of the company, gives his sworn statement as a witness of the transaction, said statement being a pait of the bill of particulars, a copy of which will be sent Mr. Davis today. The bill Is drawn by Attorney Frank E. Boyle and George W. Marshall at taches his name as a witness. It was artanged when Mr. Beeve.s played an engagement at the Davis last week. Mr. Davis, when seen last night, was averse to discussing tho mntter. He did not think it necessary. Admitting that he had made a ver bal contract with Beeves, it was done under stress and according to law and morals could not stand In the place of the regularly black and white contract made previously. The rules of the house had been broken, this has not been denied, and Reeves nevertheless forced the contract upon him. Dec. 3 is set for the time for filing an aflldavlt of defense.

STOMACH PUMP TO THE RESCUE. Succeeds In Stopping tho EllccU ol 11 n Otinco of Lnudnimin. Godfrey Mchr, a shoemaker of Al bright avenue, had a narrow escape from death by poison Thursday night. During a poriod of abstraction ho swnl lowed nearly nn ounce of laudanum and It wins only the most heroic efforts of a hastily summoned physician that cnatched hltn from the jaws of death. Nothing in his circumstances or sur roundings would tend to indicate that Mohr had nny particular reason for wishing to end his earthly career. Ho was nble to bo about yesterday nnd seemed to be suffering no ill effects from his experience. MAY BE A CASE OF SUICIDE Man Found Dead in the Columbia House Was William C. Slraley, ol NOTCfl. "William C. Stralcy" Is the correct name of the man who was found dead In room 21 in tho Columbia house at G o'clock p. in. Thanksgiving day. It developed yesterday that death wa probably not from heart disease or nnv other natural cause, but that Straley committed suicldo whllo In a lit of despondency. Tho body Is still at Raub's undertak ing establishment nnd will bo subjected to an autopsy by Coroner S. P. Long street this morning. Tho discovery of the man's Identity was- done through the letter signed by Pearl McArthur, of 9K Meado stieet.Wllkes-Barre, men tion of which was made In yesterday's Tribune. It was at Hist thought that tho dead man was the McArthur girl's father, but It now appeals that the girl lived with his family at No.en for several years. Following is the stoty as tho Wllkes-Barre Times printed It last eenlng: Tho girl, whr Is appniently about 12 or 13 years old, was at home, as was also her father, H. McArthur, and Mr? McArthur. They had not heard ot tho man's death and when shown thu clipping Mr. McArthur, his wife and daughter, all agreed that tho dead man must havo been William C. Straley, of Noxi n. Pearl lived with Straley und his wife for eight years, halng been committed to their charge tight years ago by Mr. McArthur, short ly after tho death of his first wife. She bad continuously resided with tho Btra leys up to six weeks ago, w hen her father went to Noxen and brought her to his home in this city. She hits since remained here. Mr. MoArthur was married again several years atro. Pearl on hearing the reading of tho clip ping containing the news ot the man's death said: "Oh, I'll bet he's gone nnd killed him self!" "What makes you think so?" said tho reporter. "Ho had a great deal of trouble on his mind," roulled she. "Of what nature was tho trouble?" was asked. "He owed a lot of house lent nnd other debts and these nlways weighed much on his mind," sho answered. Tho reporter also learned that Straley was a. heavy drinker. Ho w.is a huck ster, and the profits of his business be ing meagre, ho was unable to mako ends meet. Bo became more nnd moio dis couraged, drank harder lately than be fore, and his death was probably brought about by his own act ns the best solu tion of his troubles. Pearl McArthur says slit always culled Mrs. Straley "mother" and as such sho addrcsed her In tho let ter. Pearl sas that sho wrote two let ters to Mrs. Straley slnco she came from Noxen six weeks ago. Sho described Straley ns having been 33 years of age, short and stocklly built and haIng a randy moustache. He was irarrled but had no child! en. The body has not been removed from Raub's establishment. After tho In quest today, Mrs. Straley will be com municated with and a disposition of the remains effected. The supposition of suicide Is also borne out by the recollection that Stta ley, when discovered, lay In a position on tho bed that indicated bodily pain. His hands were laid over his .stomach. WENT UP THE FIRE ESCAPE. Alter All Their Trouble They Secured 17 Cents nnd Oilier TiiIIl-n. Burglars placed a ladder against tho flro escape- on the rear of a building on the north side of Lit. len wanna ave nuo in the first block and climbed sl-i stories to a window hi Howard Hull's store. The trick was done borne time after dark on Thanksgiving day and when the store was opened vesterdav morning it was then discovered what 111 there Is In a lire escape. The burglars secured an oveicoat be longing to one of tha workmen, thruo oyster knives and 17 cnits from the cash drawer. As usual, the police were notified. SCRANTON SUNDAY FREE PRESS.

PLAN -OF ASSESSMENT ATTACKED Suit in Equity Instituted to Secure nn Injunction Restraining tho Board oT Control from Lovying Tnics on tho City AssufismcntCounty As sessment It Is to Ho Held Is tho Proper Ilnsls of School District Taxation. Attack No. 2 on the board of control was begun yesterday when Joseph J. Jcrmyn Instituted a suit In equity to secure nn Injunction restraining tho school boaid from collecting taxes up on his property, alleging first, that It Is Illegal to levy the school taxes on the city assessment, und second, that the boaid of twentv-one, nn tho plain tiff's father, Joh'n Jermyn, is trying to prove, can not legally make an assess ment. Tho complaint Is us follows: First I 11 m a citizen nnd taxpayer of tho Scruntou school district, nnd am thu owner of certain leal cstato situate thete ln, In tho Eighth ward of the city of Scranton, on tho western sldo of Penn avenue, Nos. 12U and 131, about Ufty feet In front by ono hundred and fifty feet deep. Second Tho board of control of said district has levied a school tax on said real estate for the year of 1S97, amount ing to nlncty-ono (101) dollars, and by Its officers and agents Is endeavoring to collect tho same, nnd Is threatening to Impose penalties nnd file liens nnd to dis train your orator's propel ty and cnue him Inrgo costs und expenses by leuson thereof. CITY ASSESSMENT USED. Third Tho said tax Is leled on tho assessment of suld property made by the board of city assessors of tho city of Scranton for city put poses, which boatil of assessors was created by Act ot As sembly of May 23, mi, entitled. "An Act providing for the. Incoiporatlon nnd go ernmtnt of cities of tho third clnsH," nnd ns amended by Act of May 23, lsu." Fourth Your orator avers tli.it the school tnx so levied upon the city as sessment Is wholly void and without nuthoilty of law for the fuithcr reason that It was levied by a board of con trol consisting of twenty-one members, ono member having been elected from each of the twenty-one wards of the city of Scranton. Such board of control not being n Kgal representative of the school district of Scranton, and having no power to levy a tax or perform nny other duty pirtnlnlng to the manage ment of tho schools of the Scranton School iiutrlet. Fifth By reiFon of the aforesaid piem lscs the nforiMild levy of tux was wholly void, nnd jour or.itnr has suffered great und Irreparable d.unnge, for which be has no adequalu lemedy at law." The ground upon which tho first complaint Is based Is that the law un til r which th" board assumed to levy si hool taxes on the cltv assessment Is special legislation nnd thoreforo un constitutional. School boards In cities of the third class by a special act of the legislature, were given tho power to us3 the city Instead of the county assessment In levying school taxes. SPECIAL LEGISLATION. This it is heM Is special legislation for the leason that school districts nro echnol districts the stnto over and us ing a local application what Is sauco for Scranton uhould bo pauce for Duii inore.
