The case of the Commonwealth against Bridget Wagner of Texas township, Delia Smith being the omplainant, was tried by Justice R. A. Smith on Tuesday afternoon at his offlce in the court house.

Mc carty was counsel for the defend ant and Philip lloff and Chester Garratt for the plaintiff. After lis tening to the evidence that was submitted by both sides, the Judge recommended that they get together and amicably adjust their difference before entering into any further hearing of, the case, and adjudged that both plaintiff and defendant pay the costs in equal portions, and in default of such payment, party defaulting would be sentenced to the county Jail until said costs were paid.

The people leave the busy walks anu crowded centers for a walk among the graves of their honored dead, with wreathes of cypress for those whose Hps are sealed, wlio answers no more to the sound of the bugle for roll-call. They move reverently and listen to words from lips of survivors. Dr. F. W. Lange, a physician and chemist, of Scranton, claims to have discovered the secret of the ages, that of changing base metal in to purest silver or gold. While de monstrating his process last week to C. C. Dickinson, a New York mil lionaire, who was in a weakened physical condition, inhaled some of the gas generated by the process, from the effects of which he died. While a train on the Southern railroad was speeding along at the fate of '70 miles an" hour, endeavor ing to make up lost time, 1t came upon a portion of the road near Cedar Run, Virginia, where a repair gang had removed a section of the rails. Although the engineer turned off the steam and applied the air brakes, the train composed of all Pullman cars, plunged over the rail less ties for a distance of nearly 600 feet, creating havoc with ties and roadbed, doing but little harm to the train, but shaking up the passengers greatly but with no serious Injury. Our townsman, A. L. Schuller, and his wife were on the train, but es caped without injury. Mr. Schuller left for New York on Wednesday where he takes up a responsible posi tion witli the Otis Elevator Co., hav ing been with the same company in California for several years. William Skelton, a man who over 50 years ago was identified with Honesdale's Industries, is now paying us a visit and although he finds most of his old associates have gone to the other world, yet he finds enjoyment In talking and shaking hands with many of our old residents who were school children when he was In ac tive business life. Mr. Skelton Is oyer 86 years of age, has a remarkable memory, active and vigorous as many men of sixty. He was employed one time as foremnn by Knapp & Neal, who had a foundry nnd machine shop (tho building still remaining) on River road. He tells of a suspension bridge that spanned the Lackawaxon at that point. Mr. Skelton was an engineer In the navy and was on one of the gunboats that laid off Charles ton Harbor during tho war, taking active part In the bombardment and preventing blockade runners from bringing supplies to the Confeder ates. George Stegmaler, tho wealthy WIlkes-Barro brewer who died re cently, won for Honesdale tho baso hall championship of northeastern Pennsylvania In 1875.

When tho deciding game was about to be played at Wllkes Barre, tho Honesdale team needed a man to complete their nine. Somo ono approached Billy Sllverstono of tho Honosdalo club, and said, "Get that Dutchman to help you," point ing to Stegmaler; "ho has been drop ped by the Wllkes-Barro team, but ho Is a good player." Stegmaler was ask ed to play with Honesdnlo, and con sented.

BETHANY MAN'S THEATRE EXPERIENCE "Free lists positively suspended," reads a sign nt the Herald Square Theatre, and long before this tho greater pnrt of Broadway has found out that It Is true. Neither the sign nor the Ironclad rule of tho house that It bo obeyed, however, stopped Ezeklel Kembnll of Bethnny, Pa., from seeing Miss Mnxle Dressier In nil the glory of her nightmare, or, rather, "Tlllle's Nightmare," as the r'ttest of her mnngement. In fact, It scarcely even made him pnuse. Just how It nil happened Is worth telling. Shortly before the opening of the first net Inst Wednesdny afternoon Lew Fields, James H. Dnlton, Marie Dressler's business representative, and Harry Hyams, manager of the Hernld Square Theatre, were interest ed in seeing a white haired gentleman with three small children demand ad mission on what wns obviously a "pass." He was about to be refused when Mr. Fields happened to glance at tho slip of paper. It read: "Ad mit Benrer, Colosseum, Broadway and Thirty-fifth street.'1 The pass Itself was signed by Thomas W. Tobln, manager's offlce, and was good for four "admissions. Mr. Kembnll had carefully selected three of lib favorite grandchildren to make up the party of four, and ' there he was. The momentary hesitation on the ' part of the box offlce man to honor ! tin lined illcnnnnnymt ltTfr. i.tnrvln I Mr. Fields and the two gentlemen with him each hastened to buy the tickets and claim tho pass. In his appreciation of their courtesy the old gentleman gave them the history of the Interesting bit of paper. Way back In 1S74 a personal friend of his, who in iho3e days had edited a small paper In Pennsylvania, made a trip to New York and re ceived the pass to the Colosseum. Being unable to attend himself, and knowing that Mr. Kemball was com ing to New York, he gave it to him. Mr. Kemball did come, but as the Colosseum at that time wab consider ed far uptown, and his business was all downtown, Mr. Kemball likewise failed to use the pass. But lie kept it just the same, and last week found .time to use It. After the performance Mr. Kem ball was taken back on the stage, where he most gallantly expressed his pleasure at having waited thirty six years to use the pass, so long as his delay resulted In permitting him to see Miss Dressier, but he seemed just a trifle surprised. Some one asked him if he had not enjoyed the show and he most promptly said he had, but it was a little different than he had expected to see. . A hasty research into Ne.w, York liistpry disclosed the fact that when the pass was Issued the Colosseum was given over exclusively to panor ama shows, but that the venture early proved a failure, and not many months after its opening the theatre was converted Into an aquarium. Fish tanks along the sides of the walls contained various species of fish, and in the centre of what Is now the theatre a circus performance wns given twice daily. But the old Colosseum was not des tined to end its days In such fashion. 'New owners again decided to convert it into a theatre. Booth's Theatre, down at Sixth avenue anu Twenty third street, had burned down short ly before, but the prosenium arch re mained intact and it was used in the reconstructed house. "Ned" Harrlgan a short time after secured control of the theatre and renamed It Harrigan's Park Theatre. It remained that until it again chang ed owners and became Jhe Herald Square Theatre. Mr. Kemball returned to Bethany Thursday a trifle disappointed at not seeing the panorama, hut much pleas ed that tho pass was good. More over, ho has promised to come again and not wait another thirty-six years before doing it, either. New York World. GOQOOOOQOOOOOOCGOOCOCOCOCOG RESOURCES.
