Miss Annie Gilander is to Get 5000 From
John Kerr.

Miss Annie GIlander is to Get 5000 From
John Kerr.
The trial in the breach of promise case
between Miss Annie Gilander and John
Kerr was finished yesterday evening before
three arbitrators, Messrs. Weidman, Big
ham and Lindsay, at Attorney Porte's office
on Grant street. The case took up a
great deal of time, but the testimony
was about the same as given before.
The only new testimony in the case
was that of Rev. Mr.. McGill. He stated
that Miss Gilander had been living at his
house in the capacity of domestic for sew
eral months. In relation to the number of
times that Kerr had called upon the young
lady be said that he could not tell exactly
but thought it was about 13.
Kerr acknowledges that he called on her
eight times, but says he never promised her
that he would marry her. Kerr also denies
the statement made by Henry Boutwell,, that
he had told him he was going to marry her.
The case was then put in the hands of the
arbitrators, who retired to Attorney Porter's
private Office, and after spending consider
able time in discussing the case, concluded
to give verdict in favor of Miss Gilander
to the amount of $500.

A Bewitching Western Brunette Goes From
the Stage to the Bar.
Most actors and actresses are in the pro-
fession because they are in love with the
business, says the Portland Oregonian, but
among the members of the brass Monkey"
company is handsome and bewitching
brunette, who but six months ago made her
debut on the stage as a stepping stone to
some ulterior object in life.
This young lady halls from Chicago and
is just II. She is an exceptionally brilliant
linguist, has fine voice. is graceful in the
extreme and is clever little actress. Her
intentions are to remain on the stage Just
one year and then study law with a view of
practicing as an attorney in Illinois. She
Is taking this preliminary course on the
stage for the purpose of perfecting her elo-
cutionary powers and to cultivate an "at
home" feeling with large audiences. The
real name of this young lady is Fanchon
Couyers, and it is safe to predict that she
will be heard from some day in the legal
arena like the cricket on the hearth.

YOUTHFUL SUICIDE MANIA.
1t Exists to a Surprising Degree Among
Vienna School Bows,


The Hospital, commenting upon the sui
eide mania among school boys in Vienna,
which it attributes to the senseless mania
for over-intellectual culture, says: SIN
these days the tyranny of learning is driv-
ing the world to madness. Professors of all
sorts have got the upper hand, and their
supremacy threatens to be fatal to the rest of
the world. Here is an opportunity for
medicine.
''Ifdoctors erelarge-minded and capable
men like Shakespeare and Bacon, they
would see the truth and assert their scien-
ti6c authority. But what are they doing?
Nothing at all to guide the world In the
matter! They are the worst offenders of all
in the way of inhicting upon young men
unlimited intellectual tasks, the doing of
which is of no practical service to anybody.
Sleeplessness, nervousness, mania in every
form, are upon us, and nothing is done.
''The whole medical world itself is in full
cry striving who shall be first to put salt on
the tail of the tubercle bacillus. 1t is as if
all the forces of the Empire should be sent
to arrest lunatic at Wick while foreign
army was in possession of Penzance.''

stew and bottle of wine at the
dinner in his new play, which costs
him about Sc per night The funny
part of the business is that he
doesn't taste a drop of the wine him
self. and his old father-in-law takes every
thing in sight. In his desperation he
smashes Knox hat and he furnishes new
tile every evening at no small price. When
asked why he did not fix up an old hat he
laughingly replied that new one looks
better. and as he stands the bill he will
have it.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER?
A Young Girl Killed by Her Lover--
He Ilaims it Was Accidental--But
Appearances Indicate Foul Play.

by United Press.]
LEXINGTON, Pa, March 81 A sad
case Of shooting occurred here at II
O'Clock last night, which resulted III the
almost instant death of Miss Gertie
Hiskeg, @ handsome girl 16 years Of age.
Webster Campbail, OF Westport, Pa,
was paying his attentions to Miss Hiskey.
He says that after the other members of
the family had retired he removed a re-
volver from his pocket and laid it on
a bureau when the weapon fell to the
floor and was accidentally discharged.
The ball entered Miss Hiskey's brain
and she fell to the floor and soon after
expired. To-day the coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict that Miss Hiskey came
to her death by pistol shot wound at
the hands of Webster Campbell.
Two chambers OF the revolver were
found empty, and it is alleged that, in
stead of accident, Miss Hiskey was shot
by her lover.
Campbell was arrested and lodged in
jail at noon to-day.
When the family retired last night
there was nothing in Campbell's conduct
to indicate that he intended to shoot the
girl.
