nANAuER's TROUBLE
Frederick wards Leaves Ills Company In
tho LuIcn at Eastpn.

Manager Collins, OF the Frederick
Warde dramatic company, says he had no
idea that Warde intended leaving him
until Saturday, after the performance,
when Wardo told him that he would start
for New York In the morning not to
return to the company. The contract be.
tween Collins and Wardo was for four
years, aud this is the twenty-ninth week
of the third year. There had been ca
gagements made for thirty-two weeks
next year.
Mr.. Warde received $50 week above
all expenses and was TO receive certain
part OF the net proceeds at the end Of the
fourth year. From this the $50 each week
was TO be deducted. The season had not
been prosperous the first two years aud
Mr.. Collins lost over 10000. Mr.. Warde
was dissatisfied at not making more
money, but had said nothing OF leaving.
He was indebted to his manager 90, 900.
Mr.. Collins feels keenly Warde's actions,
as he had brought out Wardo aud tho
latter was beginning to make himself
known. J. T. Malone takes Warde's
place until March 20, when w. L. Sheri
| dan will succeed him.

TUESDAY EVENING. MARCH II, 1884
Tns Lasker Resolutions.

The correspondence In the Lasker
matter Is at length published. The res
oIutIons Of the House were transmitted
by Secretary Frelinghuysen to Minister
Sargent, under date of January IL. and
were sent by the minister on February 1,
TO Count Hatzfeldt, the German secre-
tsry Of state. They next turn up in the
hands Of the German minister at WASH
ington, who on March 7th, delivered to
Secretary Frelinghuysen dispatch he
had received from Count Bismarck
accompanying the returned reso.
lutions, which, he says, he has
not asked the emperor's permission
TO send to the Reichstag, to which
they were directed, because he did
not individually agree with the express
sion In the resolutions Of approval of
Herr Lasker's opinions Secretary Ere
linghuysen tells Minister Eisendecker, In
the involved phrase affected by diplo
mats, that the president does not care a
continental what he does with the reso.
lutions, since they were not delivered
as directed, and Minister Eisendecker
replies that "your answer expresses no
wish and consequently relieves my gov.
ernment from the obligation 1t has felt
to return the resolution which was
entrusted TO 1t for transmission.
Then on March 10 Secretary Freling.
huysen relieved his mind and washed his
hands Of the business by sending the
correspondents to Congress and writing
a dispatch to Minister Sergeant, in which
he says that sit does not occur to me
how the Transmission of the resolutions
would have involved an endorsement
Of the political views OF Mr.. Lasker by
the German chancellor" aud intimates
that he don't know what he had to do
with them anyhow, but that it don't
make much difference that the Reich
stag was deprived of the official commu'
nication, as it long since got it unofli-
cially. The non official communication
he comedies, "while matter of regret,
Is not one OF concern to either branch OF
the government Of the United States. y
In this conclusion the secretary, how
ever, seems To be wrong, as the Hous'
OF Representatives seems disposed t
resent Bismarck's impertinence. Th
Republican leader, Mr.. Hiscock, hs
introduced a resolution declaring that,
ii has learned that the resolution sent
1t to the German Parliament "has bee

House resolves, that it "cannot but e!

with such simple, natural aud spol
taneous expression of kindly feeling b
tween two great nations, and thus
detract from the position and prestige

from the rights OF the mandator

then 1t reiterates the LIsker resOlutiO
Such action on the part of the HOu

lish and should omit the declaration tb

Gibson Tells what bo Knows OF tho Ia
nous Trials.
Before the Springer committee Mr. \.
NJ, Gibson continued his testimony on
Monday, and related the proceedings at the
outset of the Star Route trials, He said
it was resolved to proceed by information
because the statute OF limitations had
nearly run out, and the Prescott and
Santa Fe route was first taken up because
it was simple, and one that the govern.
ment ought to have a verdict 10. Why IL
failed he could not say. Mr.. Gibson had
heard they wanted him out of the case,
but he did know why, unless il was be-
cause he was u Democrat, aud they de
sired TO have a lawyer Of great prominence
in his place--a man like Mr.. Merrick
Brewster and Bliss desired to control
atfaiIs and to stop witness letters,
to Mr.. MacVeagh. Witness said his
only difference with Bliss was that no
thought it best TO try simple single route
cases first and get verdict aud then try
that against Dorsey aud Brady, Involving
l24 routes. Mr.. Gibson thought pay had
good deal to do with the matter, and
explained how Mr.. Bliss had received s20O
a day, and then all1ded to the fact that he
was the intimate friend of the successor
OF the president, who had at a banquet
alluded in fiattering terms to Mr.. Dorsey't
use of "soap" in the campaign. He de-
clared that the charges of Bliss, Brewster
and Ker were unheard Of in exorbtance
The witness thought his bill for s5, ,00C
was reasonable, aud he had never put il
charges for expenses as the other attorney
had done. He thought Mr.. Brewster
and Mr.. Cooks charges were modest, anC
he understood the former was engaged a

Yesterday afternoon as tho limited ex.

had with him his wifo and Miss Ida
Fisher. The carriage was broken to
pieces aud the occupants were thrown ont,
but none of them seriously hurt. Mr.
Stultzfus heard the train approaching but
miscalcuating its direction, thought he
could clear the track before 1t reached the
crossing. His mistake very neMlg cost
him his life and jjoparded the lives OF
others.
The crossing where this occurred is one
of the most dangerous ia tho county and
has been the scene of many narrow
escapes from terrible accidents. Tho
carriage yesterday was struck at the hind

carried away by the COW catcher; Mr..
