THE HIDDEN OEM.
Bplondld Amateur Production by Stu
dents of St. Thomas College.
One of the best amateur t hen ti leal
performances over clvon In this city
was conducted lnt night at the Ly
ceum by tho students of St. Thomas
college, who produced Cardinal Wise
man's ploy entitled "Tho Hidden
Clem."
The young men who took part arc
to bo congratulated for holding closely
the attention of an audience which
almost completely filled the theater
fiom the opening sceno to tho final cur
tain. The play deals with tin life of Alex
ius, the son of n Unman patrician, Iu
phomlanus, who nourished In the early
centuries of tho Chi 1st Inn cm. The
part of Alexius was very well taken
by Thomas Martin Jordan, while J. CI.
Cullen Rave the piopor dignity and
bearing to the pott of Ktiphemlnnus.
Ulhulus, tho Blnvo who plots the life of
Kuphemlanus, us the part alloted to
John A. Murphy, and ho made one of
the biggest hits of the night, especial
ly In the drunken iscene In the first act.
Perhaps tho most artistic piece of
work was done by Moses W. O'Malley,
who played the pait of flnmlo. an old
beggar, with marked distinction and
with all the ease of a professional.
Other characters wete enacted by John
JO. McHnle, James B. Sando, John A.
Ituddy, Aloyslus r, Colllgan, Edwatd
J. O'Hara, M. V. Klleullen and Leo J.
.Silvers.
Forty ot the students appealed ns
slaves, tobbers, officers, etc., and made
n big hit, especially In a dance In the
first net. The costumes were ery good
and the scenic settings were attractive.
All In all, the production was exceed
ingly commendable.
JAKE ELLMAN AGAIN.
The Ex-Constable Held Under Bail
on Charge of Subornation.
Kx-Constable Jacob Kllmun was ar
rested yesterday, charged by County
Uetcctlve W. A. Phillips with subor
nation and perjury. He was taken
before Alderman Howe, waived a hear
ing and gave ?"00 ball for his appear
ance In court.
HUman's uricst yesteidav was the
seiiucl to the arrest of Max llorrlng
last October. Hat i lug was rhatged
with extoi ting money from disrepu
table women on foiged wanants, bear
ing the ofllclal stamp of Alderman
Howe and Justice of the Peace Mason,
of Ulakely.
Harrlng admitted the charge, but
swore that Hitman had suggested this
infamous scheme for making monev.
Their plan was to show the women
warrants for their arrest and to de
mand money for their withdrawal. As
tho wanants were officially stamped
and born what appealed to be the
signature of the alderman, the scheme
rarely failed to work, and, It Is clnlm
ed, Hllmau fairly coined money until
the fraud was detected in Alderman
Millar's ofllco.

LAST ACCOUNT
OF ASSIGNEE
AFFAIRS OF SCRANTON
BANK WOUND UP.
CITY
On May 25, 1889, It Closed Its
Doors Assignee J. H. Qunster So
Carefully Managed the Affaiis of
the Defunct Bank That Depositors
Have Received the Face Value of
Their Claims at the Time of the
Failure of the Bank Amounts De
positor Will Now Receive.
On May 25, 18S9, the Sciautoii City
bank closed Its doors, being unable to
pay the claims of tho depositois.whlch
amounted to about 1235,000. The Mine
day Joseph H. Qunster was appointed
assignee and after nearly twelve years
of constant labor he has practically
wound up the affairs of the bank.
Tho repoit of Attorney It. J. Mutiay,
who was appointed to audit the final
account of the assignee, was confirmed
finally by the court yesterday and the
money will bo distributed at onco by
Mr. (lunster to tho credltois of tho
bank, neatly nil of whom weto depos
itors. The careful niannor In which Mi.
Ounster conducted the affairs of the
defunct bank Is shown In tho fact
that while the property of the bank
Inventoried only $J09,323.27 after the
falluie, ho realized J2J1.79J.41 for the
creditors of the bank after deducting
till expenses Incident to the closing
up of Its affaiis, Including his own
commissions.
Not counting Intel est since the time
the bank became Insolvent the depos
itors have been paid about the entlie
face value of their claims at the time
of the failure.
ASSHTS OF HANK.
When the bank closed its doois and
Mr. Ounster was appointed assignee
the court named J. H. Tot ley, John
P. Kelly and M. 13. McDonald as ap
praisers. Their teport showed that
the assets of the bank amounted to
J209,;l25.27. Mr. Ounster at once began
the tedious tnsk of turning the assets
into cash for the henellt of the cred
itors and on May 14, 1S94. tiled his first
and partial account.
At that tlmo the claims of the cied
Itois with interest from the tlmo ot
failure amounted to 2'4,70G.5y. At
torney Joseph O'Brien was appointed
to audit the account and upon the
confirming of his tepoit $218,017.20, or
83.85 of the creditors' claims was div
ided. The report of Mr. Murray conllrmed
yesterday allots to each ci editor HG.39
per cent, of the balance of his claim.
The entlie amount now in the hands
of the assignee awaiting dlsttlbution
Is $14,332.1C. After deducting the cost
of the audit and other exienses there
Is left the sum of $13,175.21 to pay the
present indebtedness of the bank, $30,
204.32, which leaves u balance of $23,
129.12. The bank has no means of
meeting this. All of Its resouices nie
now exhausted. -Mr. Murr.t's report
shows the amount due each depositor
and: the amount they will receive un
der his audit. The tepoil follows:

THH FIRST CASH.
The first case aigued was Ui.it of
W. H. Hemle. prothonotaiy, against
tho cleik ot the courts of Columbia
count. It Is a case stated lor a de
cision on what the wotd "statloneiy"
In the act of 1SS9 means. The prothon
otaiy claims that it Includes minted
foims used hi the county ofllce. If It
does they must be furnished by the
county. Thecleik of the courts claims
It doesn't nnd If he Is light each coun
ty ofllclal will have to pay for his own
minted blank foims. The lower court
found In favor of the piothonotaty. H
Frank Zair areued for the appellant
and foimer Internal Revenue Collect
or Grant IIci tins' tor the appellee.
Whllo Mr. Zatr was aigulng the
case an Intoxicated individual in the
back part of the couit loom mutteied
In a voice distinctly heard all over the
court room: "Not by a d d siaht."
Ptesident Judge Hire dliccted that the
man be In ought before hlni. He piov
ed to be John Ciowley, who lives
lit this city. He was lined $10 and In
default was committed to the county
Jail.
When t mil t adjourned the tilitnn
cuso was being argued. Lorenzo Cilr
ton and his wife, Maud Oil ton, nru
tiio plaintiffs nnd they sued the Le
high Valley ltallroad company In Wy
oming county to recover damages for
the death of their six year old son,
who was killed at the Hansom station
of the company In this county.
WAY HH WAS KILLUD.
The mother and boy had been to
Wllkes-Hano and ictuined to Hansom,
the nearest station to their home, on
a Lehigh A'alley tialn. Just after
they alighted a ttain came nlong on
the next track and struck and killed
the hoy.
A Wyoming county Juiy granted
J1.000 damages, and fiom this the
company took an appeal on the giouud
that the company should have direct
ed a verdict for the defendant com
pany. Attorney F. W. Wheaton, of
Vllkes-naue, ntgued the case on be
half of tho company, and Attorney
Paul J. Sherwood, also of Wllkcs
H.me, for the plaintiff.
