The Home Talent Club produced
that beautiful and realistic comedy,
Among the Breakers" at the City
Hall last night, and their appear
ance was greeted with a packed
house. The entertainment was an
unqualified success in every way.
The audience showed their appre-
citation by round after round of APP
plause. The characters in "Among
the Breakers" include David Muir
ray, a lighthouse keeper; Larry
Devine, his assistant; Hon. Bruce
Hunter, a wealthy Englishman;
Master Clarence, Hunters ward;
Peter Paragraph, news reporter;
Scud, Hunters colored servant;
Mother Carey, witch; Miss Minnie
Daze, Hunters neice; Bess Star
bright, waif; and Biddie Benae,
an Irisirservant girl. The acting
was simply superb. Mrs. Capt.
Fleming, as the witch, would have
done credit to a professional. Her
part required a strong Imagination,
cultured conception, and trained
elocutionary powers, in all Of which
she acquitted herself in a manner
that aroused the highest admira-
ton. VIM. Ainslie, as Scud, the
coon, took the house by storm, and
so did j. III. Shayelear, as Peter
Paragraph, the rowing reporter of
the KooTENAI HERALD. Joe was
right at home either in reporting the
tragedy or making love to both girls
and otherwise displayed ability
as newspaper man. j. G. Gala
han, as Larry Devine, and JAS Egan,
as Biddie Benae, brought Cork to
Bonner's Ferry in earnest, and came
in for good share Of the honors.
Mrs. J. G. Callahan was most be-
witching little waif and Mrs. H. l..
Medbery was charmingly charac-
teristic "and so romantic" Alva
Fry represented the wealthy Eng
lishman in true style, and E. Coy
did the lover act with the ability of
one who had had experience. Mr..
J.A. Wales played David Murray
the heavy villain, to perfection
He had difficult part and acquit-
ted himself with great credit.
The players were the recipients
of many compliments and beautiful
boquets were sent up from the au-
dience to each of the ladies on the
stage.
After the play, the hall was
cleared for dancing, and large
number remained to enjoy them
selves till late hour.

BURIED BENEATH THE WALLS.
Disastrous Fire Sweeps the Business
Portion of Scranton.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 10, 1S94.-A big
fire has been prevailing in the heart of
the business section of the city since
five o'clock this morning. 1t originated
in the cellar of Matthews Brothers drug
store, spread to Norton's book and sta
TONERS store, and Gross & Fosters dry
goods, all of which are now in ruins.
AT eight o'clock the fire was beyond the
control of the Central Fire Companies
and a general alarm was sounded.
About fifteen minutes after the gener-
al alarm was sounded, and while
score of firemen mostly from the Eagle
Hose Company, were fighting the flames
from the roof of the Cross and Foster
building, a portion of the roof gave way.
Three firemen were plunged down three
stories with the falling mass, while the
others near the break in the roof got
away safely. All we're injured to some
extent, but the promp work of their fell
Iow-firemen quickly saved them from be-
ing burned to death. The one most SER
iously hurt was Driver Beckett, of the
Eagles, who had a leg fractured and sus-
tanned severe internal injuries.
William Martin of the Crystal Engine
Company, was also among those who
went down with the roof. He is the
worst hurt of all, and may not live
the day out. Charles Beckett and Mich
ael Ruane, all Eagle Hosemen, were
the others who went down. Charles
Beckett and Ruane are not much in
iured.
The fire is now under control. 1t has
completely burned out the Matthews,
Norton and Gross and Foster blocks.
Haslacher's millinery store. the Famous
Shoe Store. F. L. Crane. wholesale furs
and ]. D. Williams and Brothers con
fectionery, were flooded with water,
On the third floor of Williams store
was n large stock of fireworks
but as soon as the fire spread to the Cross
and Foster building deluge of water
was poured upon these goods, thus avert
ing danger from them if the fire reached
that building. Pratt's stationery and
wall paper and Ludwig's four-cent store
were also much damaged by water. DR..
w. B. Hanwood, dentist; Theodore Kon-
oeny, hair dresser, and Dewitt, photo
srapher, occupied parts of the second and
third floors of the Cross and Foster
building Their loss is complete. The
other buildings were occupied entirely
by the firms burned out or damaged by
water. The individual losses and insur-
ances have not yet been ascertained, but
the aggregate loss will not fall below $780,

GEM PLEADS GUILTY.
Under salingsr's Law the Plea
Can't Be Accepted The
Statute Denounced.

Indictments have been found against Ed
ward Mahaffey of Harrison and Paul GEM
of Hoboken, and yesterday these men were
arraigned in the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner charged with wilful murder. Ma
haffey pleaded not guilty i'll an unconcerned
manner and was Immediately returned 10
the County Jail to await trial. GEM, who
killed Clara Arnim, when asked to plead,
said:--
.sYes. am guilty. killed her and |
know it.p
1.-The Court cannot under the law accept
this plea" said Judge Lppincott. He then
directed the clerk to enter a plea OF not
guilty. The law referred to was passed by
the Legislature last spring. It was intro
duced by Max Salinger and provides that
no person indicted for murder shall be per-
mitted to plead guilty.
When Judge. Lippincott had given the
clerk the instructions mentioned, District
Attorney Winfield said the law was very
bad one, and that under the Constitution
GEM or any other man had right to enter
any plea they saw fit.
AN INFAMOUS Law
and he doubted the right of the Court to try
prisoner on any plea not entered by the
accused himself.
Judge Lippincott intimated that he agreed
with the District Attorney, but added that
under the law the Court had no option.
Mr. Winfield, when asked about the case
by reporter for The JERSEY Cry NEWS.
said:-
"With the long delay in the carrying out
of the sentence of Hallinger, in which case
Counsellor Peshall raised the point that the
degree of crime and guilt of q murderer
must be fixed by jury, it became evident
that some legislation was necessary to cover
the point. Accordingly the last session of
the Legislature passed an act which they
thought fully covered the matter. 1t is now
evident that a serious error was made.
What they intended to do was to allow
the criminal to plead and the jury to deter
mine his guilt and degree of his crime. In
stead of permitting bis plea whatever it was,
to stand, they made the act read that plea
Of guilty. shall be disregarded and plea of
not guilty entered.
FOOLISH ON IT'S FACE.
s'On the face of it this isfoolish. The
criminal can say when brought to trial
and confronted with the plea that he has
not raised any issue with the State, and
refuse to stand trial on the ground that
it was net his plea. In fact they have
no more power to take away his right to
plead guilty than they have to refuse him
the right of plea of not guilty.
"If l were his counsel" concluded Mr.
Winfield, Il would raise the point. and so
far as can see it is certainly strong one.
| predict that point will cause considerable
discussion
The matter will again come before Judge
Lippincott next week, when he will fix the
day for GEMS trial and assign him counsel.

POLICE FIND SOMETHING.
Two Stage struck Youths Arrested
for Dangerous Crooks.

Word was sent to Police Headquarters
late yesterday afternoon that two sus-
picious characters carrying large
satchel were seen going in the direction
of the Glendale woods on Communipaw
avenue. The case was reported to Chief
Murphy, and, upon questioning the man
who had reported the whereabouts OF
the men, came to the conclusion that
they were either thieves or a green
goods" man and his victim. The Chief
determined to have them arrested, IT
possible. Detectives Pearson and Doyle
were assigned to the case. They went to
Glendale Park. and learned from several
passers by the direction the men had
taken. They were finally located in an
old frame stable in the woods. The de-
tectives crawled to it on their hands.
and knees, and, peering through crevices,
saw one of the men open the satchel
and take out a wig and false whiskers.
He put them on. The detectives were
growing excited, believing that they had
stumbled over two dangerous crooks.
Are you ready?" said one of the sup
posed thieves.
IT am,'' came the reply.
The man with the whiskers adjourned
to one corner of the stable, while his
friend tried to make himself comfortable
on beer keg. The whiskered man
tapped on the side of the stable. and his
friend, turning round, said, Come in
Are you the stage manager?" asked
he with the whiskers.
81 am," was the reply.
"You want man who has been on the
stage?"
II do"
"Well, Pve been on many aone, in fact,
driven one almost shouted the man
with the whiskers.
"Oh l want an actor. Someone who
has been on the boards.
1--WE been on the boards was the re-
joinder; ''in fact. slept on a pile last
night"
The detectives were dumbfounded. They
had stood the performance as long as
|sthey could. They arrested the men, and
took them to Headquarters. The prison
ers explained to Chief Murphy that they
were stage-struck, and were only re-
hearsing sketch. They performed 1t
for the Chiefs benefit and were allowed
to depart without disclosing their names.
They are well known down town, the
Chief says.
