NOTED ABOUT TOWN.

T.. C. Edwards, after pleading guilty
to d charge of larceny by bailee in court
Wednesday, was handcuffed to another
prisoner to be taken back to the county
Jail. When the bracelets We're placed
on his wrists he told Warden Grimes
that he could slip any pair of handouts
ever placed upon him. Mr.. Grimes
thought that Edwards would have Il
task to get rid of the pair just fastened
on him. but decided to watch without
letting Edwards know it. Soon lie saw
him twisting his wrist and by allowing
the muscles in it to contract the prison.
er succeeded in reversing his wrist in
the cuffs. AS soon as the muscles were
relaxed, the new position became very
uncomfortable and painful, and Ed
wards was unable to get his wrist back
to the original position. He called to
the warden and told him the cuffs had
been put on the wrong way, but they
were not changed until Edwards
reached the county jail. During that
time he suffered great agony. 1t will
probably be some time before he will
again attempt to slip Lackawanna
county handcuff.
Attorney Wedeman, Of Forest City,
who is associated with Ward & Horn in
conducting the defense III the Boschino
murder case, is becoming a familiar
figure in the Lackawanna county
courts. He is tall and impressive look
ing and is a good talker, as his OPEN
ing address to the jury yesterday indi-
Gates. He will gain much valuable en-
per!ence during this trial from Ward e.
Horn, than whom there are no more
shrewd criminal lawyers in the county.
District Attorney John r. Jones is
receiving many compliments for the
excellent manner in which he is con-
Quoting the commemorative side of
the BOschino case. He is very thorough
and leaves nothing in doubt. When he
is through with witness the jury has
all the information at the command of
the person on the stand. 1t is rather
severe induction into office for Mr..
Jones to have the first case he is called
upon to try one of such great import
ance, but he is proving himself equal
to the occasion.
Chief Engineer II. f. Ferber, of the

Another Trial.


Members Morris, Battle, Sweeney
and Hickey, the special fire department
investigation committee of common
council, met yesterday afternoon to in
vestigate the charge recently made that
Chief Ferber had kept the Niagara
company out of service for one week.
District Chief Detweiler informed the
committee that Chief Ferber is con-
fined by rheumatism to his home on the
West Side and wished the committee to
postpone action until he is able to ap-
pear before it.
No evidence was heard and the COM
mittee adjourned to meet at the call
of the chair.
a gentleman well posted in munich
pal matters told a Tribune reporter
that the investigation will come to
naught, no matter what the evidence
may be- He stated that an investiga-
ton committee has no authority unless
constituted jointly by each branch of
the council. Select council, he OBJ
served, will not ratify a conclusion
made without a representation from
the select branch. What Mayor Con-
nell will do, is another question for con-
SideratiOn.

MORAN OF SCRANTON.
lie Was Rejected by Miss McAuliffe. of
IaInbortyillc, n. J.

The New York Herald yesterday
printed the following dispatch from
Lambertville, N. j.: "a crowd that al.
most filed the large st. Johns Roman
Catholic church turned out this morn
ing to witness the wedding of Charles
II. Callan and Mamie McAuliffe. Miss
McAuliffe some time ago became be-
trothed to Joseph Moran, who came
here from Scranton, Pa, and was en-
plOyed by tailor.
Shortly after the engagement was
announced Moran went to Pittsburg,
Pa. At different times he RENTED to
his intended bride small sums of money
for the purpose of defraying the we'd
ding expenses. But Mamie soon began
receiving the attentions of Charles II.
Callan. Her engagement to Callan was
announced a few weeks ago. Moran
heard of Mamies unfaithfulness and
came here to press his suit.
Mamie, however, would not receive
him, and today she was married to Cal
Ian.
'"The fact that Moran had remained
In town and had asked to be allowed a
seat near the altar to witness the cere-
mony created the impression that he
intended making a scene. He was per-
suaded, however, by some of his friends
to leave quietly last night"

In LOCAL THEiTERS.

The Academy Of Music will have

been looked forward to for long time
with more than ordinary interest. 1t is
the advent of Otis Skinner as star

Fitch, entitled, Ills Grace de Gram

ton to Scranton play-gocrs. He has
always been held in high esteem here
as an actor Of the most sterling worth.
His range of ability and artistic per-
ception entities him to position among
the foremost actors Of his day. Percy
Anderson, of London, designed the cos
tunes of the characters from the old
portraits of Sir Peter Isely, and now

number of names familiar to Scranton

The stage splendor, the capital fool
ing of the comic players, the charm of
the music, and the excellency of the
specialties together with clever little
love story make "A Baggage Check"
the coming attraction at the Academy
next Saturday night, one of the best
light entertainments. Mar k Sullivan,

The sale of seats for "The Still

DREW A LARGE AUDIENCE.
The Ensign Greeted with Favor at the
Academy of Music.


THE Ensign" an American naval
play, attracted u large audience to the
Academy of Music last night. notwith-
standing the disagreeable weather. 1t
abounds in action and hair-lifting
climaXes, which never fail to evoke
hearty applause.
The action of the play revolves about
Ensign Ben Baird, of the United States
steamship San Jacinto, during the late
war, who is court martialed and SEN
fenced to death for having killed Liei-
tenant Horace Blythe, OF the English
navy, renegade American seaman,
who escaped from Uncle sam while un-
der sentence of death and Joined the
English navy under an assumed name.
This man plots to cause trouble at
Havana in order to prevent the san
Jacinto from capturing an English
prize. He seeks quarrel with Ensign
Baird, who, knowing Blythe's design,
refuses to be moved until the latter
pulls down the American flag, tramples
it under foot and with drawn sword,
advances toward Baird. The latter re-
taliates and kills his man. The re-
markable thing Is that an American
court martial condemned Baird to be
hung from the yard arm of the San
Jacinto for the crime and it required
great efforts to induce President Lin
coin to pardon him. That court mar
tial finding is the weak spot in the plot.
The finding ought to be revised.
The drama is produced in an excellent
manner, the cast being a very capable
one. Logan Paul represents President
Lincoln and his makeup is a very good
fac simile of the features of the mar
tyred president.
James NJ. Brophy was highly emo
tional as Ensign Ben Baird, and Marl-
borough Hardy Atkins Lawrence, Jo-
seph Totten, Esther Lyon, and James
Grady did excellent work.

AT midnight last night the city was

Three large theater audiences found

ready to go homeward. Sensible per-

few unluckily took chances in a lonely
street car or two while a large per-
centage stood a few moments in the
whirling snow and after chewing cuds
of wrath depended on their legs to
carry them home.
Up to s o'clock the cars appeared
only in htful gasps and afterward
made a pretense of running, only when
preceded by one of the two huge cleo
trical sweepers, which, with a small
army of shovollers, accomplished lit

consequent drifting. At this hour
travel was completely at a standstill

sweepers We're sent out on various lines

At 1 o'clock he disappeared with his

had to pay good price to a livery or

that the association made beginning
in educational work, and in his annual
report for 1890 President Boies said:
THE upper story of our building should
be finished and occupied. 1t is too
valuable space to be allowed to go to
waste; it would be an excellent place
for q manual training school. No edu-
cation would be OF more positive benefit
to the boys and young men of our city
than intelligent training in the use of
tools and in manual deXterity. Most
of them will have to depend for their
livelihood upon what they earn with
their hands, but our public schools are
as yet exclusively devoted to the in
struction of the mind and brain, while
the hand upon which most must de-
pend is entirely neglected" This view
heralds a work which the directors
hope very soon to begin.
Its Youngest President.
In 1891 William j. Hand, the son of
the first president of the association
took the helm as president and served
with fidelity and success until 1885,
Mr.. Hands position was in many re-
spects q trying one because Of the
changing of executive officers and
secretaries, which necessarily threw
upon him an unusual share of RESPONSE
bilty for the details of association
management, all of which he bore with
great prudence and wisdom.
In April, 1893, one who had for a
period covering almost the entire his
tory of the association been wheel
