sary owing to the past experience that
the presence of many onlookers made
the workmcn nervous and caused two
partial failures before the successful
test last week. Then two perfect plates
were rolled and placed in the annealing
oven, where they were kept until yes

HILLIARD'S NEW COMEDY.
What the Wilkcs.Barre News. Dealer Has
TO Say About 1t.

The Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer
speaks as follows of "Lost-Twenty-
Four Hours" which appears at the
Academy of Music tonight:
"A very pleasing and entertaining
performance appeared at the Grand
Opera house last evening in "Lost-
Twenty-Four Hours" In which Robert
Hilliard assumed the leading role. 1t
was beautiful three-act comedy, full
OF clean-cut humor. Mr. Hilliard as
Dick Swift. n gay New Yorker is an
actor of high ability. Mr.. Hilliard
was surrounded with n first-class COM
pany, and the entire performance was
a round OF pleasure from the rise OF
the curtain in the first act until the
drop In the last act. There Is not a
feature in the entire performance but
is worthy of high praise, and 1t Is
hoped that Manager Burgunder will
give MIR. Hilliard and his cast speedy
return date for the benefit of the the
ater-going people in this city"

Rendham. While william Jones and
Thomas Jones. two young men from
Feltzville. were out driving their horse
suddenly shied and jumped in front of
an electric car.
The action of the horse was so quick
that the motOrman could not check
the speed of the car. and ran directly
upon the vehicle. Both young men had
time only to jump for their lives.
Johns fell on his head and sustained
an ugly scalp wound. He was taken
to the office of DR.. Weston, where his
injuries were dressed.
Jones was more fortunate. as he es-
capped injury. Remarkable to state,
the horse also escaped unhurt, but the
buggy was badly damaged and the
fender on the car was wrecked.

TOO MANY CANDIDATES.
Result Of Fight for Positions on Board of
Revision and Appeals Uncertain,

Tonight a joint convention of coun-
ellis will be held to elect a board of
revision and appeals as provided by the
new law amending the act governing
the assessment and collection of taxes.
Five members will constitute the
new board and all OF these offices will
be filed by councilmen. although the
law leaves the positions open to all
citizens. The pay is So a day for ac-
tual time served, and the law pro-
vides tina the board shall sit as often
as may be found necessary. The or
dinance under which the local board
will be constituted limits the time to
seventy days, but this amendment will!
not stand, so the mayor and city So
licitor believe, inasmuch as 1t is vir-
tually an amendment to legislature
enactment, being contradictory to the
clause directing that the board shall
sit as often as may be found necessary

Merchant Of Venice.

Scranton theater-goers will on
Wednesday night make the acquaint-
ance of Elihu Il. Spencer. In very
few years MIR. Spencer has strode from
the rear to the front rank of star play
crs, in real seven league boot-style.
He was cut out for u lawyer, his
friends thought. Yet he changed from
Blackstone to Shakespeare over night.
He was influenced to make the change
by witnessing performance of the
late Edwin Booth Having trained
mind, fine presence, and being an ac-
comrlished elocutionist it was just play
for him to stride past actors who had
been poking along for years. Mr..
Spencer will play Bussanio, in the
Merchant Cf Venice" Wednesday
night at the Academy of Music.

Mrs. Bullock's Statement,

Mrs. Bullock states that during the
year 1894 Mrs. Wizard visited her home
and while there alienated the affections
OF her husband: that she assumed die
tatorial position toward the affairs in
her home: that on the Sth day of May
Mr.. Bullock took the child ostensibly to
visit neighbor and he returned
home the following day and would give
her no satisfactory answer as to the
disposition of the child: it had been ev-
ident to her that Mrs. Wizard became
covetous Of the child and that she added
difficulties between husband and wife
for the purpose of securing to herself
the custody of the child: Mrs. Bullock
further states that when she in any
way attempted to correct her child in
the presence of Mrs. Wizard she would
prevent the mother from taking any
such action and told the little girl to
strike and scratch her mother

The bailiff gathered up half dozen
OF the spectators who had been too loud
in their demonstrations and they were
severely scored by the court, after
which they were allowed to go. One
of those whe fell in the bailifr's net was
woman. Judge Humes discharged
the jury and court adjourned until $3.50
this morning.
The news OF the verdict spread quick
ly about thS city and occasioned much
surprise, as it was generally thought
that the twelve men had agreeded to
to disagree. The truth is that they
didn't change their minds until after
o'clock Judge Humes brought them
in second time at ) and told all those
who believed that it would be impos-
sible for the jury to agree to stand up,
and every man in the box Judge
Humes gave them a talk about the
great expense attached to such trial,
and told them he did not think that the
county should be put to the expense of
second one. The jury was sent back
to its rooms and in less than four hours
a change came and the verdict followed.
The state yesterday gave out the con-
tents of the dying statement of Fraser

son that Fraser in part contradicted
himself. In the first part he admitted
they mad been gam bling for money, but
later changed and said that they had
been playing for drinks. When the
latter part of the statement was made
it is said that Fraser was about breath
ing his last and didn't appear to realize
what answers he was giving to those
who were at his bedside questioning
him.

bursts of anger and passion and wholly
untitled to care for or have the custody
and control of the child: that on several
occasions she used violent and profane
language and that she had threatened
TO kill her child: that he had often
talked to her in regard TO her conduct
and what it would inevitably lead to;
his reason for consenting to Mrs. Wizard
taking temporary possession of the
child was because it had always been
very happy with her and that Mrs.
Bullock always seemed willing that the
child should remain with her; he hoped
through such an arrangement that
there might be an amicable adjustment
OF the matter and thus protect the
child and save divorce: stated further
that Mrs. Wizard and himself had all
these years used their influence to pre-
vent difficulty in the Bullock home
and whatever had been done was in a
friendly manner toward Mrs Bullock
The attorneys INDUCED in but few
remarks after presenting their af1idavits
and Judge Haney rendered his decision
by allowing Mrs. Bullock $50 for attor-
ney's fees, $50 for expenses and S25 per
month for her support dating from May

court did not believe that, under the
existing circumstances, he would not
allow any of the parties to have the Gus
tody OF the child but would place her in
charge of some person, within the iuris-
diction of the court, who would be sat-
