RECALLS A NOVEL CASE.
Surdel's Conspiracy Case Against
Prominent Folanders.
Andiew Kavolskl and Andrew Slav
dorskl who went ball for Daniel Lang
owfckl and 7.. Lopotyner in the con
spltacy coso In which Adam Surdul
was prosecutor, made application to
court yesterday to stilke off the tor
felture of lecognlzances which followed
the non-appearance of the defendants.
They allege that in the interim between
the arrests and the meeting of the
grand Jury they convinced or thought
they convinced Surdel that he was
prosecuting the wtong man, and he
promised to go to the district nttorney
nnd have the case quashed. They paid
no more heed to the matter, feeling
secure In Surdel's promise and were
surprised to learn at the conclusion of
the last term of criminal court that
Surdel persisted In prosecuting the
case and that, because of the defend
ants not appeal lng, the ball had been
forfeited.
Court granted n rule, returnable ut
argument court, to show cause why
tho forfeiture should not be stilclten
off.
This Is the case In which Surdel al
leges that Langowskl, Lopatyner and
some others of that faction hired a col
ored man to whip him, because he in
stituted n suit against them to recover
some money which he alleged he loaned
them.
THE GRIPPE IS CONTAGIOUS.

AUTHOR SMITH
GAVE A READING
DELIGHTrUL TREAT IN THE
BICYCLE CLUB HOUSE.
Road Chapters from "Colonel Carter
of Cartorsville," "Tom Grogan,"
nnd "Jonathan" Dialoct in All of
tho Character Sketches Ho Road
Was Delightful, nnd Was Groatly
Enjoyed by tho Cultured Audience.
Mr. Smith Is n Man of Varied
Accomplishments.
One of the most distinguished audi
ences ever assembled In this city wns
that of last evening nt tho Bicycle
club to greet V. Hopklnson Smith.
Without doubt, no Scranton audience
ever left an entertainment so utterly
delighted with a programme. It was
given for the benefit of tho Young
Ladles' society of the First Presby
terian church.
Rev. Dr. McLeod introduced the
speaker In tho happiest possible way.
Ho stated that tho gentlcmnn In ques
tion was "one Smith" who, on art,
science, literature, or even foreign mis
sions, could be heard with pleasure nnd
profit. Mr. Smith prefaced his remarks
with n graceful tribute to the reverend
doctor's dialect, which ho termed "de
licious," adding, "God bles3 all who
come over here and do the vork ho
does."
Mr. Smith Is a tall man, who looks
ns If he might bo a brigadier general
masquerading in a dress sut. A pow
erful frame, a splendid, erect carriage,
a head of line contour, tho slightly
silvering hair parted In the middle,
rather low on the broad forehead, a
fierce military moustache, a ringing,
flexible voice, these are the character
istics which first impress the observer.
A face most genial In expression Im
mediately captivates his new-found
friends.
A VERSATILE MAN.
To those familiar with the best liter
ature, Francis Hopklnson Smith has for
some time been a maneloua figure, a
man who, perhaps, more than any
other living author is the prototype of
tho "Admirable Crlchton." While as a
novelist nnd an essayist, he ranks with
the best American writers of today.
As an artist, he has achieved fame be
yond most water-colorlsts. At this time
In tho well-known Fifth avenue gal
lery, Avery's, an exhibition of some of
his latest pictures are shown. Ills
(somewhat peculiar style of gouache
backgtounds produces remarkable dis
tance. Tho scenes are chiefly in Holland,
Venice and, along the Thames nnd the
equtslte atmospheric effects are dally
the subjects of much comment
As an engineer devising vast me
chanical structure requiring massive
strength and endurance such ns light
houses, fortifications, viaducts and
similar enterprises he is a master. A
society leader, an orator, a man of
unusual attainments in the law, nnd
the possessor of wealth, his varied ac
complishments seem to exceed what
could well be tho dower of one man.
His ability as a dialect reader wus
a revelation. Perhaps in no character
was ho so particularly happy ns in the
dear old "Colonel Carter of Carters
vllle." Ilia own Southern ancestory
and upbringing seem to give him spec
ial facility in depicting tho Southern
gentleman of the old school.
The negro dialect was delicious In
"Chad" und "Chloe" the fascination of
the soft, sluned consonants, the liquid
"a's," tho odd little cadences, the un
conscious pathos, tho gestures and
Intonations were presented In a sort of
glorllled fashion as of a btllllntit lined
moth held fast in nmber.
TOM GROGAN SKETCIIKS.
The 1 loh Irlsh tillls in the 'Tom G:o
gan'" sketches were equally well ren
dered and in tho dreamy woodland idyl
of "Jonathan" the New Kngland
localisms were delightfully given.
The ptogramme opened with the
somewhat unfamiliar "Jonathnn Gor
don." The writer had spent summers
In the White Mountains, where he
found this "sweetest toned noul" in
the woild. He decilbed the "ugly
outside," "hewn In tho rough." the
"hands like paddles" and tho "mean,
sniveling, stub-tailed dog, named
George, of no particular breed," with
Inimitable humor. The tender, poetic
conception in the quaint statement of
Jonnthnn that there "ain't nothing bo
human as tiees,' the "decent life" of
the hemlocks, the disreputable white
blanches whoee ragged Jackets and
toes out of their shoes bespoke on ear
lier life not of the best, was lepeated
with affectionate faithfulness.
In speaking of Colonel Carter, Mr.
Smith said that theie never was nny
Colonel Carter, who Is really the com
posite idea of bevetal mtn In one. Part
of the chaiacter Is diawn from bin
own father, while an old uncle ban
furnished some details "Chad" he did
know. He was the body servant and
one time slae of his father and died
but a few years ago at the age of 97.
He read from the rare description of
the colonel on the night of the din
ner with "Fltz" and the major In his
New York home, nnd gave tho gro
cery man Incident with the most
charming effect, standing in the col
onel's favorite attitude with thumbs
In armholes and the gonial loving look
on his countenance. It was to bo re
gretted that the final scene when coal
is discovered on his land und when

TAKKN rrtOM lifi:
The audience wns much Interested
In tho stntement that "Tom Grogan"
wns taken from life. She was consider
ably older than he portrayed her and Is
now about C3 and te worth a quarter
of a million dollars. He had been an
employer of labor for many yeais, but
ncVer had known any one tho vlctom
of such vicious persecution ns this
woman. Her ruling passion Is still
ovldent and if ho should go today to
Staten Island ho would seo her stand
ing on th e string pleco by tic light
station unloading coal.
Ho read the rhnptor whero Tom tells
Uabcock tho pitiful tragedy of her llfo
confessing she has concealed tho death
of her husband, nnd her one heart
bieaklng desire to keep his name nnd
do as Tom would have done.
The "Water Logged Town" from
"Old aondola Days" won Indescribably
well recited. The man from Troy, N.
Y., who objected to Venice, to gondolas,
to Venetian palaces and every thing
else In tho White Swan of cities created
a, continuous ripple of laughter. The
speaker's twenty-five summers in Ven
ice had given liim nn atmosphere for
his recollections Impossible to overesti
mate. It is to be hoped that some day
Mr. Smith will come horo again.
To Miss Trances Hunt Is due much
of the credit of bringing him to us nt
this time.
THIEF WAS IN A HURRY.
Ho Failed to Got Valuable Jewels
That Wore Within Easy
Reach at Residenco
of A. J. Casey.
In his hurry a thief overlooked about
$2,000 worth of Jewelry at the home of
A. J. Casey, 337 Jefferson avenue, Sun
day evening. Ho ransacked the drawer
in which tho valuables lay ready for his
grasp but either In his hurry or care
lessness overlooked tho valuable plun
der. The fellow Fecured $85 In bills and a
diamond scarf pin valued nt $30. Tho
culprit was of the typo known as "sec
ond story men," or "porch climbers,"
the kind who enter and leave a house
by a porch roof, window or some other
opening on the second Moor only. The
Job has the samo earmarks which pre
vailed In tho Frey and Matthews rob
beiles, excepting one point In tho Frey
Job where entrance wns gained through
the kitchen.
On Sunday evening while Mr. Casey
and the family weie at tea, the work
was done. After tho meal Mr. Casey
went to the bed room on tho second
floor nnd discovered the loss of a small
red leather card case containing $S"i.
The card case was stamped "A. L.
Webb & Son, Baltimore Md." A hur
ried glance around the room revealed
nn opened upper left hand bureau
drawer which contained ubout $2,000
worth of Jewels.
The drawer had been pulled out to
within six Inches of its rear part. The
front of the diawer was filled with
hosiery and to that fact Mrs. Casey
owes her present possession of the
valuables which occupied the six-Inch
spacf- In the iear.
The diamond bi.irf pin had been
stolen from a cushion. Two pairs of
men's gloves veto the only other ar
ticles missing.
Mr. Casey immediately notified the
police and then began an Investigation
on his own account. On the top of a
rear porch he found mud tracks and
on the ground beneath and back of the
porch the imprints of n man's new
rubbeis. This outside footwear was
evidently used to give pui chase In
climbing and to avoid noise.
About 6 o'clock Satutday evening a
man rang the front door bell und tried
to sell Mr Casey some thread. The
visitor saU ho was n lallrouder out of
woik and had a wife and three chlld
ien. Mr. Casey thought he was. nn im
postor and oidered him away. The fel
low wore a light blown or yellowish
coloied suit of clothes. The coat was
of n sack style. He held his head on
one side und wole a soft hat with the
front of the bilin turned low over his
eyes. He was about ".3 yearn old and
had a moustache.
At 9 o'clock the man returned to the
house. The maid answered the bell.
The man bhowed the thread and asked
her to summon Mis. Casey fiom up
stairs. The door was shut In his face.
Ills two lsits weie leealled nftPr the
theft of the next uu-ning hod been dls
o ered.

GOLD MINE AND
COAL MINE FIGURE
TWO SUITS GROW OUT OF DEALS
IN THESE MINERALS.
George A. Winans Sues to Recover
from L. M. Bunnell Monoy Sunk
in a Now Hampshiro Gold Mine
A Scranton Coal Deal in Which
Thoro Was a Misunderstanding
A $40 Case Which Has Been in
Court for Nearly Fifteen Yoars.
Jurors Fined.
A gold mine, or an alleged gold, mine,
figures In an interesting suit being
tried beforo Judge Edwards In court
room No. 2. The plaintiff Is George A.
Winans nnd tho defendant, Attorney
L. M. Bunnell. The mine is located In
Woodsnell, N. II.
Mr. Bunnell it nppcars secured an
option on the mine nnd Induced Mr.
Winans to become associated with him
in its operation. The partnership agree
ment was to tho eftect that Mr. Wlnan.
should pny tho expenses of operating
and share equally In tho profits. He
advanced $1,325 to Mr. Bunnell to meot
tho preliminary expenses of assays nnd
tho like. They failed to come to terms
with tho owners of the mine, through
some reason or another not explained
and tho option expired.
Mr. Vt lnnna now avers that it was
expressly stipulated that the expenses
should not exceed $500 and he sues
to recover the difference between that
figure and the amount he advanced.
Such moneys as were given Mr. Bun
nell, over and above $500, he alleges,
were simply loans for which he was to
bo reimbursed when tho mire com
menced to mnke them millionaires.
NO FIXED LIMIT.
Mr. Bunnell says there wns no fixed
limit to the expenses and he holds that
all that Is required of him is to show
that the expenditures ho made were
necessary nnd reasonable. Among tho
expenditures he puts forward in offset
to Mr. Winans' claim Is $3 a day for his
own set vices In looking after the pre
liminary work looking to the purchase
and operation of the mine.
Across the corridor In the superior
court room Judge John W. Slmonton.
of Harrlsburg, Is presiding In a coal
mlno ca.se. It Is the suit of Dolphin &
Dlmmlck against J. H. Steel. The
plaintiffs sue to recover a two-sevenths
interest In the West Ridge Coal com
pany. It is alleged on their part that they
secured the Interests of tho Providence
and Church coat companies, and con
trol of a number of leases on conven
ient coal lands, und that Mr. Steel bar
gained to take these, secure other
leases and form n company in which
Messrs. Dolphin nnd Dlmmlck were to
have a one-seventh interest each.
The West Bldge Coal company was
formed shortly afterwards with Mr.
Steel as one of its leading men. The
plaintiffs waited upon him and de
manded their two-sevenths interest in
the company. Ho would not recognlzo
their claims, alleging that the deal in
which they were to figure had fallen
through, and that the West P.ldgo
company wns a concern altogether for
eign to the one which they were to
have an interest In.
QUESTION AT ISSUE.
The question at tesue is whether or
not the deal in question did fall
through. Mr. Steel avers that the ad
ditional leases which they were to
secute weie unobtainable und that for
this reason the company which he was
to form with Messrs, Dolphin and Dlm
mlck ns stockholder was not feasible.
A jury was out at adjourning time
on a $40 case, which as been hanging
fire in the courts nearly flfte n jears.
Two old and prominent Scranton bus
iness houses aie the parties to the suit,
Thomas F. Leonaid being the plaintiff
and Geoigo It. Clark and Company tho
defendants.
Leonuid Brothers, of which tho plain
tiff Is successor, did some plumbing
for the defendants, for which a bill of
$40 was rendered. The defendants dis
puted the bill on the ground that some
of the material used in the woik was
not of the style and character called
for In the contrac t.
In 1SS1 suit was Instituted. Several
years passed befoie It got a place on
tho trial list. Then came the dissol
ution of partneiehlp iu the Leonard
linn and the long drawn-out controver
sy over the receHeis' report, which
kept the question of the proper plain
tiff to the suit in doubt. Finally when
it was settled and T. F. Leonard fame
Into contiol of the accounts the suit
was called up. The second series of
delays In getting the ca&e on tho trial
list nnd then In shape for trial fol
lowed, and now fifteen years after tho
suit won instituted and seventeen years
or so after the bill was rendered, tho
suit Is In a Jury's hands. The com
pound Interest at 6 per cent, for the
period the bill has been hung up on
the amount Involved would about equal
the principal.
VEItDICT FOB PLAINTIFF.
A verdict for the plaintiff in the full
nmount of his elulm, $31.50, was lend
ered In the wage case of Peter Dough

A verdict for the plaintiff was en

case of Daniel Waterspiel against the
