PRAISE FROM PROHMAN.
Much Pleased with the Lyceum and
Its Manager.
The Ximv York Telegraph of Tuesday
says: "The other day in Scranlon,
xvhen the box oflleo xvas opened for the
sale of seats for Maude Adams' en
gagement of one night exactly sixty-
eight minutes had elapsed before thu
last ticket for this occasion had been
disposed of.
"The manager Immediately began
telegraphing- to Nexv York in endeax-or
to secure a matinee performance of
"Quality Street" iu addition to the one
billed for the ex-eninp;. This xvas no ex
ception to the rule, however, for there
was not a single toxvn in which Miss
Adams appeared during Hi?' xveelc
where the same order of affairs failed
to appear.
"in Ilarrlsbui'K the receipts xvero
Sl.Too. In Scrantou, $1,710, in Wilming
ton close upon $1,800, and in the other
cities they were regulated solely by the
question of capacity.
"Mr. Frohnmn himself went over to
Scranton to look a I. the perf6rmance,
and was surprised to lind that a num
ber of ticket speculators were on hand,
having become regular camp followers.
Describing' his experience In Scranton,
Mr. Frohmau said yesterday:
"The local theater is as tine as anything-
on Broadway, and before and be
hind the curtain it is adroitly handled
as any playhouse f have cx-er entered.
The ninnajrer is a. young man named
Duffy, xvho began ills career tts a xvork
inan on the stage and may be described
as 'self made.' AVo in Xew York don't
realize what is going on In the smaller
cities by way of bringing the theater
up to dale. Horanton was certainly an
object lesson to me."

FOR ENTICING
A YOUNG GIRL
MRS. LIZZIE HESSLING HELD ON
SERIOUS CHARGE.
Seventeen Year Old Leah Swisher
Testified That Mrs. Hessllng En
ticed Her from Homo and Prom
ised to Send Her to Now York to
Lead nn Immoral Life Mamie
Hndisty, Another Young Girl, Said
That Mrs. Hessllng Advised Her
to Lend an Immoral Life.
Some rather sensational testimony
xvas offered last night In Alderman M.
,T, Ruddy' oillce ut the hearing In tho
case of Mrs. Liable Hessllng, of GH
Vyonilng avenue, xvho Is charged with
having enticed 17-year-old Leah
Hwlsher, of IU4 Wyoming avenue, for
tho purpose of prostitution and xvltlt
the receipt anil retention of certain
wearing apparel taken by the Swisher
girl from her home.
The prosecutor- In the case Is Alan
son II, Swisher, the girl's father, xvho
was represented at tho hearing last
night by Attorney Thomas P. Duffy.
The defendant, Mrs. Hessllng, xvas
represented by Attorney Frank Boyle.
An effort was made to show last night
that though the Swisher 'girl Is now 17
years old, Mrs. Hessllng- inndo at
tempts to Induce her to lead an im
moral life before xvhlle she xvns 1C
years old, her seventeenth birthday be
ing September 'J4 of this year.
In case of a failure to show that the
girl xvas enticed xvhlle still 30 years
old or before tho age of consent had
been reached, the prosecution has still
another charge to fall back on, name
ly, that the girl xvns enticed with the
intent to extort money.
Tho Swisher girl, xvho Is an espe
cially handsome and attractive girl,
looking a little older than her parents
claim Mie Is, was the first witness.
VIS1TKD MliS. IlHSSUNii.
She testified that despite her par
ents' objections, she had frequently
visited Mrs. Hessllng's boarding house,
nexL door to her house, ever since last
July. Mrs. Hessllng-, she said, had
frequently told her that she should
leax'c her home if she didn't like tho
xvay she was treated and should "get
a man to keep her" so that she could
live an easy life.
She declared positively, that Mrs.
Hessllng had made this suggestion to
her many times since last July. Sho
had a great deal of trouble xvith her
parents, sho said, because she xx-ouldn't
go to school and because she persisted
hi going to Mrs. Hessllng's house.
On Tuesday, October 29. she f-ald, she
xvent over to Mrs. Hessllng's and had
a. talk xvllh her.
"Airs. Hessllng told hie," said she,
"that 3 should pack up my clothes and
come over to her house. She said that
she'd lind me a place where I could
stny until she got some money to send
me to New York. I asked her xx liy
she xvanted me to go to New York, t
said I knew nobody there.
"She said that xvas all righl. that
there xvould be-ti man aL the Ilobokon
station xvho xvould wink at me. I xvas
to act "Jlip," she said, and ho xvould
take me to a place where 1 could lead
an immoral life and not have to work.
She said that J .should wiito and let
her know how I was getting- on. She
said I xvas n pretty girl, that I had a
good form and that I'd be able to at
tract men."
Continuing, the girl said that she
packed up her clothes the next morn
ing and xx-ent over to .Mrs. Hessllng's
house She had been there but it fexv
hours when Mrs. Hessllng sent one of
her servants, Mamie Hndisty, to take,
her to the Hotel Arlington on Spruce
street until such time as she xvas able
to get money to send her to Xew York.
The Hndisty girl paid for a room In ad
vance and she remained there until
Frhhix-, she said.
WKNT TO THU MIFFUX.
On Friday she decided that she
didn't xvant to stay any longer at the
Arlington, she said, and the Hodlsty
girl took her to Tho Mifllin, on Miflliu
avenue, paying for a room for her
there. Sho xvas found In Tho Mifflin on
Saturday by Constable Hnwks, xvho
had a xvnrrant for her arrest on tho
charge of stealing her clothes. She
xvas taken home and has since been
there.
Sho bore up very xvcll under the
direct examination, hut xvhen Attorney
Doyle started in with the cross exam
ination, referring to her father as "the
old man" and endeavoring to get Iter
to admit that she xvas in the habit of
staying- out lato at night, she broku
down and xvepl.
Mamie Hndisty, the servant xvhoj
xvent xvith her to tho Arlington, xvns
the next witness. She Is a nrotty and
rather chlo girl, who says sho Is IS
years old and xvho proved to be quite
capable of taking care of herself under
cross examination.
Sue said that sho hud decided to
leave Mrs. Hessllng's employ the xveek
before tho Swisher girl left home, be
cause airs. Hessllng- had given her
sox'cral broad hints that her services
xvcm'o no longer required. She corrob.
orated .Miss Swisher's testimony re
Karding tho engaging of rooms at tho
Hotel Arlington and at The Mifllin,
and said that Miss Hessllng had told
her to cngago them,
Attorney Duffy 'asked her If Mrs.
Hessllng had ever suggested to her if

It wouldn't bo a good thing for her lo
leave tho paths of rectitude.
"Ves, sho did, frequently," ropllcd
Miss Hndisty, "Tlipio was a married
Woman xvho boards nt tho tilneo who
left her httshutitl. and Mrs, iresslliu;
Used to often (mini her out to me tit
tho Irtlile ntiil loll mo what n lovely
Unto, she was having. Sho Used to say
to mu that If 1 felt lonely I'd ought to
get n man to keep me. so that I. could
pass aT'leasunt hour now and then."
"Was the language that sho urciI
such ns yott would ltku to repeat
hen.'?" asked Attorney Duffy.
Miss Hndisty blushed, and then le
pllerl: "No, It was not."
StlK WAS INSTUUCTKD.
Sho declared that after Constable
Hawks had searched tho Hessllng
house for Miss Swisher's clothes, that
sho (Mrs. Hessllng) had told her to
conio up to Alderman Ituddy's office
and sny that sho knew nothing about
them and that Leah Swisher had not
been near her house. She decided not
to do this, finally, sho said, and told
everything.
Mrs. Swisher, the girl's mother, tes
tified that she didn't xvant her dough-,
ter going to Mrs. Hessllng's house,
because the latter had so many malo
hoarders. Sho had frequently chas
tised her daughter for going there, she
said. On tho Wednesday morning
that Leah left homo, she called Mrs.
Hessllng- lo the window to Inquire
about her child's whereabouts. Tho
latter, she said, denied that she had
seen the girl at all.
"Oh, so you had a chewing match
xvith Mrs. Hessllng?" suggested Attor
ney Uoylo In strident tones.
"No, sir; I did not," replied the xvlt
ness. "Well, you had a conversation,
then?"
. "Yes sir; r dlth
Alanson Swisller, the girl's father,
xvas tho next xvltncss. He testified
that ho had frequently boxed bis
daughter's ears for staying away from
school and for other Indiscretions, ho
said, but ho couldn't say that ho had
over treated her cruelly. Mrs. Hess
llng had told him, on the Wednesday
that Leah left home, that she lenew
nothing- about her and hadn't seen her
that day. She said. "I hope God xvlll
pierce my heart if I'm not telling tin:
truth."-
Attorney Uoylo moved for the dis
charge of tho prisoner on all charges,
but Alderman Uttddy xvanted to hear
tho defense. Attorney Doyle said that
he xvas not prepared to offer one just
then. Tho aldeiman accordingly held
Mrs. Hessllng under $500 bail on tho
charge of enticing the girl for prosti
tution, and discharged her on tho
charge of receiving stolen goods. Pail
was furnished.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
Colored Man and Woman Believed to
Have Knowledge of the Theft
at Brooks' Residence.
A colored man and xvoman, whose
identity is unknown, xvere arrested
yofleniay by the police on suspicion
of having committed the theft of $2,500
xvorth of jewelry and Slln In cash from
the residence of Iteeso (!. Brooks, Mon
day night.
They were taken from the apartments
In the 100 block of Penn avenue, early
yesterday morning-, and arraigned' be
fore nn alderman for a. hearing.
Both denied all knowledge of the
crime xvitli which they are charged, and
tho woman asserted she came to this
city only the night before.
They weie remanded for a further
hearing, and placed In the central sta
tion house.
What lead to their arrest the police
xviil not divulge. It if, however, ru
mored that u colored couple xvere seen
about the time of the thieving in tho
vicinity of the Brooks' residence and
that their actions xvero of such a sus
picious character the attention of sev
eral persons xvas attracted to them.
The description of this couple tallies
xvith that of the parties under arrest.
The further fact that thoy aio new
comers and that they could not give
an acceptable account or themselves
tended to add to the suspicion.
A search of their room xvas made by
the police, but as far as can be learned)
no incriminating evidence was dlscox--cred.
The express oflices aro being visited
xvith a view of ascertaining- xvhether or
not the prisoners sent away a package
tho day before.
The usual plan of professional thieves
Is to get there booty out of their pos
session as quickly as possible. To do
this, they generally express it to some
"fence" In one or tlm other of tho
larger cities, usually a distant one.
The thieves who rnloed the Dogert
residence four years ago sent their
booty to Chicago.
The suspects ai rested yosterday are
a llaslilly dressed pair and seem pos
sessed of more than ordinary Intelli

TWO NEW BRIDGES,

Director of Public Works John !'.
Roche is seriously considering the ad
visability of asking councils to appro
priate sufficient funds to pay ror the
erection of new bridges over tho Roar
ing Brook at Cedar avenue and over tho
Lackawanna river nt Race street.
The former bridge Is of very old
construction and. there is a rear that
the steel xvork of that portion which
runs along the land is eaten axv.iy by
rust to such an extent, as to be almost
unsafe. Tho Rac6 street bridge Is of
wooden construction and Is now closed
to public trafflc because ot n serious
break which xvas discovered on Tues
day. The director Is also going to ask
councils for a street sweeping machine,
