••The Stowaway."
Few plays produced within the last
ten years possess more gonuine human
interest than "The Stowaway," which
is hooked for the Grand opera house
tonight. Its success lias been phenom
enal, exceeding that of any English
melodrama over brought to this country.
Its story appeals to the best emotions
in man, and it presents a series of
picturesque and realistic scenes illus
trating life, not only in the mysterious
depths of London, but in the sweet and
fragrant countryside as well.
Its exciting incidents, natural in the
developments, betray the hand of a
master in dramatic construction and
win applause from all classes. The eye
is pleased witli the vivid realism achiev
ed by the art of the scene painter and
the ingenuity of the stage mechanic,
who have contrived to give to "The j
Stowaway" a more elaborate setting
than was ever before givon an English
drama.
The lover of sensationalism in its best
and dignified sense will find the blowing
open of a burglar-proof safe by those
two expert but now reformed cracks
men, "Spike" Hennessey and "Kid"
McCoy, one of the njost thrilling inci
dents in the wholo range of the drama.
The company is classed as one of the
strongest on the road and has been
recently notably reinforced by the en
gagement of "Rig Hill" Royd as under
study to "Spike" Hennessey.

FAMOUS JENNINGS CASE.
BRIEF REVIEW OF ELEVEN-YEAR
LACKAWANNA CONTEST.
l>iuiiKe Suit Which W. Trleil and ltc-
Triril and in Which tlie KnpiitatlunH of
I'romiiicnt Men Were Often Involved.
Kud Came I.a.t Week.
As announced in tho TKIBUNK 011
Thursday the case of John G. Jennings,
of Minooka, against tho Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company had been settled out
of court. The settlement was announc
ed at Stroudsburg, where the case was
to have been tried by certification from
the courts of Lackawanna county.
Nothing definite has leaked out as to
the terms of tho settlement, but there
is a fairly well authenticated rumor,
says the Scranton Times, that Mr.
Jenningsjroceived a substantial sum of
money and most people will bo glad
that he did.
No legal proceedings ever instituted
in the courts of Lackawanna county
gave rise to so many sensational inci
dents as tho cases hased on the injury
to young John Jennings in the disaster
at Mud Run on October 10, 1888. The
lirst sensation came in the original trial
of tho case of the injured young man,
when, after a verdict had been render
ed in favor of the defendant, the late
Judge Connolly summarily set the ver
dict aside as being against the evidence.
After that sensation followed sensation
in such quick succession as to make
tho case colcbrated, not only in the
county, but throughout the state. It
even received columns of space in the
great metropolitan newspapers.
Thero was a direct clash of expert
testimony as to the seriousness of
young Jennings' injuries, and Mr. Jen
nings and his attorneys claimed that
the railroad company had procured
somebody to falsely porsonato the in
jured boy and undergo examination be
fore tho doctors whose testimony in
dicated that the injuries were slight,
and that the malformation of tho
breast, the chief basis for damages, was
congential and not a result of the acci
dent. The truth of this allegation was
never established.
Dr. F. R. Gulick, a physician of good
repute, was a witness at ono of tho
trials. Ho testified 011 tho part of the
company and was severely cross-examin
ed. On the day following the city was
stunned by the announcement that 110
was dead from tho result of a gunshot
wound. Tho gun was in his own hands
and it was claimed by his friends to bo
accidentally discharged wliilo he was
cleaning it. But he was known to be in
a highly nervous condition and thero
has always been an impression among
tlie public that tho ordeal of the witness
stand unbalanced his mind and that lie
shot himself while in an irresponsible
condition.
Thero were direct charges of jury
packing in tho case and charges of
conspiracy against the plaintiff, in
which all the judgos of tho Lackawanna
courts, all the county officers who had
anything to do with, the case, and
about a .dozen of tho foremost attor
neys of the city were arranged as the
conspirators. A number of tho per
sons so charged brought suit for dam
ages against Cornelius Smith and John
G. Jennings for defamation of charac
ter and a judgment which was recovered
for a large amount against Mr. Smith
was set aside and tho case is still pend
ing in tho courts, as Is also a suit for
damages brought by Mr. Smith against
his opponents.
The upshot of the many charges
against the court was tho disbarment of
Cornelius Smith, tho attorney of Jen
nings. Mr. Smith appealed from the
judgment of tlie lower court to tlie
supremo court and got a favorablo de
cision to tlie extent that ho should be re
admitted after one year, if ho should not
offend within that time. A much longer
time than a year found him still on the
outside and it was only after making an
apology satisfactory to the court that he
was allowed to take up tho practice of
his profession once again.
Other incidents of this most remark
able case were two petitions to tho
legislature asking for tho impeachment
of all the judges of tho Lackawanna
courts and the candidacy of Cornollus
Smith for judge last fall. Now that
tho cause of all the trouble has been
amicably arranged between the parties
in interest, the collateral litigation
will probably be settled, too, and the
Jennings-Lehigh Valley cases will pass
into history. It will bo very lively and
entertaining history at that.
