Scranton, Pa, March 3O.-There was
a continuation of the testimony in the
Anna Dickinson case to-day Two ex-
perts on insanity, DR.. Meredith. Of the
Danville asylum, and DR.. Wehlan, of
this city, testified that from the testi-
mony and from what they had seen OF
Miss Dickinson, they believed her to
be insane. They described her pMtic-
plar form of disease as paranoia.
A person suffering from this form Of
insanity, Dr. Meredith said, is the most
dangerous kind of lunatic and is
likely TO commit homicide
The defense rested, and Mrs. Jesse
Winterstein was called TO the stand In
rebuttal. She was an attendant at
Danville asylum when the plaintiff
was there, and swore that she never
saw Anna act in any manner that
would indicate that she was insane.
Mrs. Mcdonald, of Wilkesbarre. who
twenty-one years ago was Anna trav-
cling maid. claimed that she never saw
Anna act strangely, but admitted that
she saw her about once a month for a
short time only. Then she was ques-
toned about
ANNA'S LIKING FOR WHISKY
and asked if she ever saw Anna drink
it. She answered that it was not her
business to watch what Anna drank.
Did you ever hear Anna say great
people were jealous OF her?'

The Kaffee Visite of the Teutonia
Singing Society, on last Thursday
evening. closed the career Of this once
popular and prosperous society.
The society was organized in July,
1887. in Meyers Hall, under the most
auspicious circumstances, and the
members worked increasingly in max
ing the Teutonia conspicuous in social
and musical circles. From 1890 to
1892 the society was crowned with
wonderful success, every entertain
ment that was undertaken proving to
be a marked success. Since 1892 the
society's membership dwindled down
TO its present nine active members
Some of Wheeling's most talented So
loists made their debut with this soci-
ETY..
At the last meeting the question of
the further maintenance of the society
was thoroughly discussed, as the finan-
cial statement of the treasurer showed
that the treasury had been drained
and the society was running into debt
A vote was asked for, which showed
the sentiment of the remaining mem
bers was to close the affairs of the
society and disband.
All the furniture and the piano will
be disposed of, as the lease expires to-
morrow. with further allowance of
ten days.

\ Brush Fire, Near Portsmouth, Ohio,
Caused a Big Wreck on the Norfolk Il
Western.
Portsmouth, Ohio, March 30.-Care-
lessness in burning brush at the Five
mile trestle, caused a destructive fire
to the Norfolk and Western road to-
day. The fire which had been kim
died quite a distance from the trestle,
worked its way to the mammoth struc-
ture, slowly consuming the founda-
ton. William Halbert, a laborer, saw
the raging fire and signalled the ap-
preaching freight
The train was going at rapid rate,
with twenty cars, all of which were
thrown down the embankment, eX-
cept two and the engine The first
car loaded with matches, brought
about the terrible loss, as the con-
tents ignited, burning every other
loaded car. No estimate of the loss
can be arrived at, but the local freight
agent said it would reach 100000.
The steamers of the city have been
placed in charge of the fire and with
the aid of the large force are clearing
the ruins. No one was injured. All
trains are DELAYED

4 CAREFUL INSPECTION
or Scales, Measures. Weights, Etc. Being
Made.

Few peoDle know Of what import
ance the Office of Inspector Of Weights
Measures and Scales is since the
election Of Matthew Altmeyer by the
Board of Commissioner the incum-
bent has been engaged in examining
scales and measures. Yesterday IN
the Fifth ward market, he examined
the scales used by butchers and huck-
strs and fish dealers. On two scales
he discovered a shortage of ! % and IL
ounces. and in another instance he
found the peck measure OF a street
huckster to be very small. The muck
ster denied any knowledge Of his
measure being too small and begged
not to be prosecuted. Mr. AItmeyer
destroyed the measure and directed
him to get another at once. which was
found to be correct.
All yard measures ia the dry goods
stores will be investigated as TO accur-
acy and stamped by the Inspector IN
a conspicuous place so that the pur--
chaser can plainly see that the YARD
stick is stamped and accurate Inc
work Of inspecting all stores ana
stamping will probably last d Wnole
year.

Judge COwing said that he was very
sorry that Recorder Con had been so
unfair and unjust to the employees this
morning. He took up each case that
the Recorder had mentioned and
showed how one whom the Recorder
had mentioned as not attending to his
duties had been very i'll for the past
few months. after fifteen years of ser
vice. Another had served for sixteen
years and had never been guilty of any
misconduct
judge Cowing gave his version of
the meeting of the judges and recorder
last January. He said that the record
en- drew a paper from his pocket and
said. We'll, how about these ap-
pointments? l want TO appoint a
chief clerk"
I said to him, said Judge Cowing.
no one Judge can appoint him. The
law says he must be appointed by the
recorder, city judges and both judges
of General Sessions.
Well said the recorder. if YOU
won't give him to me. I'll go to Albany

Judge Fitzgerald rose while the re-
cCrder was speaking and said that he

TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
Fred Eberhardt of FOrty-ffth street, "skip
by the Light Of the Moon"

by the Light or the Noon
Yesterday morning at two o'clock
Constable Stout, of Benwood, heard
the rumblings Of two heavily loaded
wagons on Main street. In a few
minutes he received notification from
a Wheeling constable that Fred Eber-
hardt. of Forty-fifth street. near Bells
coal mine, had loaded his household
goods and furniture on two wagons
and taken French leave The cOnsta-
BILE was just in time to oyertake Eber-
hardt with his furniture on the Ben
wood ferry, which he had engaged to
make a special trip to convey him to
the Buckeye State and out of the reach
of the West Virginia authorities.
The cause of the attachment was
that Eberhardt owed Butcher John
Wenzel a meat bill for which the lat
ter procured a judgment before a JUS
tice of the peace The wagons were
driven from the boat and their con-
tents unloaded on the West Virginia
shore near the landing. Unless the
owner of the furniture meets his cred
itors with the required money enough
of the furniture will be disposed OF TO
pay Wenzels claim.

Evansville, Pa, March 9O.-Three
persons were instantly killed, two IA
tally injured and ten slightly hurt by
jumping from a runaway trolley car
on the mountain near this place. The
dead are
MRS. WATKIN L. WILLIAMS, Of
Hazelton.
MRS. JOHN R. EARLY, of Beaver
Meadow.
JAMES EARLY, aged s years.
The fatally injured are:
MRS. JAMES EVANS, of Colerain,
side torn open and otherwise injured.
MRS. JOHN WEIR, wife of Supt.
Weir, of Beaver Meadow, back hurt.
She was an invalid, and the chances
for her recovery are very remote.
These persons were seriously hurt:
Watkin l.. Williams, husband of the
woman who was killed, legs and side
bruised.
Maggie Herrity, Of Beaver Meadow,
leg broken and body cut and bruised.
Tree children of Mrs. Evans,
James, aged ten years, fractured skull.
Hannah Somers, of Beaver Mead
ows. body and head cut.
Morris Hughes, of Wilkesbarre,
badly bruised about the body
All of the other persons who sus-
tained injuries were able to walk to
their homes.
The accident was due in part to
the passengers crowding about the
conductor and gripman Of the car. AS
the car passed out on the grade leading
down the mountain, Gripman Seitz
applied the brake, but the cram
snapped. He then threw the safety
lever. To his terror, this, too, re-
fused to work, and the terrified mo-
torman sprang to the reverse brake,
hoping to control the car by the cur
rent. The actions of the motorman
ar. the speed of the car had by this
tin, alarmed the passengers. Fail-
ing to control the car, SeitZ shouted
to Conductor Socks to apply the rear
brake. The motorman's shouts caused
a panic in the car and the passengers
made a rush for the platform. The
car was going down the mountain
AT A MILE A MINUTE.
Mrs. Williams was the first to jump.
Her body struck against post, break
ing her back and causing instant
death.
Mrs. Early next flung herself onto
the rocks and was dashed to death.
She tried to save her boy, but he
shared the same fate as his mother.
The remaining passengers with one
exception then jumped. Mrs. Evans
alone remained aboard except the
motorman and conductor. The car
kept the track to the foot of the in
cline. where it crashed into tele-
graph pole The front of the car was
stoved in and a piece of board pene-
trated Mrs. Evans side.
Had the passengers remained aboard
the accident could have been averted,
as the rear brake would have held the
car.
There are six attachments, provided
for such an emergency, but the con
ductor was wedged against the dasher
by the panic-stricken women and was
unable to move his arms till the car
was beyond control.
The motorman and conductor were
but slightly injured.

Washington, d. c., March 30.-Ru-
mOrs that the Supreme Court would
declare the income tax law uncon-
stitutional have been aioat for some
days. but, of course, cannot be veri-
fed
1t can be said, however, that Treas
ury officials have information, which
they believe reliable, that the court
will pronounce unconstitutional that
part of the law imposing a tax on in
comes derived from rents, on the
ground that a tax on rents is a tax on
land and therefore a direct tax, which
the constitution says shall not be
imposed.
1t is estimated that at least half the
S3O,OOO,OOO of revenue expected to be
raised by the law would come from
taxes on incomes from rents.
All this will be lost if the Courts
decision proves to be as expected.
Such a decision would greatly en-
barrass the Treasury besides render
ing the enforcement of the remainder
of the law very difficult.
1t will not now surprise the Trees
ury officials if the Court holds the
entire law unconstitutional
No decision is expected for a week.
TREASURY RECEIPTS FOR MARCH
will fall below expenditures about
1924, 900. The excess of expenditures
for the nine months Of the present tis-
cal year is over $50 6,500000. and this
amount will be increased $4,000 900 in
April, leaving a deficit of S42OOO,OOO
May 1. During May and June, how
ever. much is expected from the in
come tax, but the most conservative
estimates now place the deficit for the
fiscal year at S25.000000, or 100000
greater than Mr.. Carlisle's estimate.
During the month Of August, 1894,
the internal revenue receipts in anti
cipatiOn of the increased rates Of duty,
ran up TO S27 $4,000, but not since
then have they reached much more
than a third of that amount. In Sep
tember they scarcely exceeded S6,OOO,-
600, and since then they have been
slowly increasing until the present
month: S9,S00,000. This, however, is
far below expectations. The receipts
from customs have shown an uneven
but fair increase. During July. 1894,
they reached the low figure of $S,421-
600, but during August they increased
to nearly S12.000,000, and during Sep
tember to about S15,564, $50. The
three succeeding months show fall
ing off from $4,OO0,0OO to over $5,000,-
OOO. In 1895. however, they recovered
to over S17000.O00. and then again
there was a decline to S13,300,000, and
then increased during the present
month to nearly S15,000,000 Only
twice, however, since May, 1894, have
the receipts from all sources equalled
the expenditures. In June, 1894. there
was a slight excess and during August
the excess reached $4,000, 600 owing to
increased tax on spirits. Should the
icome tax be upheld. the treasury Off
cials look for fair sailing, but should
the law be declared unconstitutional,
an extra session of Congress is regard
ed as probable.
