Third and Successful Attempt nt In

Third and Successful Attempt nt In.
ccndiarism in AvOca.
A fire in Avoca yesterday morning,
and which destroyed four buildings, Is
supposed to have been of incendiary
origin. The flames were discovered in
the rear of the building occupied by
Archibald Love as a saloon and resi-
dence. 1t and it's entire contents were
destroyed.
An adjoining building owned by
Thomas Mcdonnell and two buildings
owned by Mrs. Luke Nolan were quick
ly burned. One of the latter was her
dwelling, the other was a hotel occu-
pied by John Nolan and John Burns.
The hose of the Avoca fire company
would not reach the flames. The bucket
brigade could accomplish nothing.
The total loss of $4,000 is only met by
Mrs. Nolan's insurance of $500 on her
buildings and 500 of insurance held by
John Nealis. who owned the building
I'm which Loves saloon was situated.
The community is excited over the
fire in view of an attempt having been
made Monday night to burn the Nolan
building and further incendiary work
upon the Nealis building Wednesday
night.

Anna II. Dickinson, than whom there
has been no woman more discussed in
the Eastern States at least, during the
last few weeks, lectured upon the life
of Joan of Arc before a fair sized and
select audience in the rockingham
theater last night.
Ten days ago the jury disagreed in
Miss Dickinson's suit to recover $50, 600
damages for being confined for five
weeks in 1891, in the State Hospital for
the Insane. at Danville. The trial was
sensational in the extreme and during

simply heard wonderful story won

Joan of Arc with the masterful and ar

Her Different Stories.

On the present trial she said she saw
Rosa having Lauisso by the neck and
dragging him along, and few minutes
later she heard pistol shots. 1t was
shown that there was no moon that
night and that it was not possible for
her to have seen what she said Mr..
Cassesse swore that at the coroners
inquest Mrs. Nicotera said that she was
inside the house, in the kitchen, and she
heard the voices of three persons, Leo
nardo Rosa, Joseph Rosa and Vito
Lauisso. She heard their voices but did
not see them, for she did not look out
side. The defendant rested with the
right to call Miss Abbie Watrous and
Thomas j. Price was called by the COM
monwealth in rebuttal He Is deputy
warden at the county Jail and searched
Agli when he was received there. and
Is sure the detective did not carry any
whiskey with him to his cell. Frank
Agli was recalled and denied that he
took any liquor to his cell or treated
Rosa with it. Ex-Judge Ward tried to
prove by the witness that he cannot talk
Italian, but the question was ruled out.
County Detective Thomas Leyshon
said that Rosa told him In the Dunmore
lookup that he had no revolver for four
or five days before the murder, that he
threw it away. Mr.. Leyshon also
stated that there is an electric light
near Nicotera's house, and that no one
would have any trouble in seeing there
at night whether the moon was out or
not, Charles E. Daniels corroborated
Mr.. Leyshon's testimony as to the
statement made by Rosa.
Threw the Revolver Away.
yincenzo Vicarro swore that Rosa
told him the night after the murder
that he threw his revolver away. Mrs.
Nicotera was again called to testify to
the condition of the fence about her
property and then the commonwealth
rested.
In surrebuttal Attorney J. G.. Nc
Askie was examined as to the condi-
tion of the fence about Nicotera's
place. Francis O'Hara was examined
on the same subject, and that closed
the testimony in the case.
Al 130 Attorney j. J. II. Hamilton
began the first address to the jury for
the defense. 1t was Mr.. Hamiltons
first effort before jury in this coun-
ty and was followed with close atten-
ton. 1t was a logical address, in which
Mr. Hamilton labored by reasoning
rather than eloquence to convince the
jury Of the innocence of his client. The
detective. Frank Agli, he referred to as
perfect type of the Judas Iscariot.

Spoke Slowly at First.

She made no introduction to her lee
ture. After acknowledging with a bow
the applause which greeted her, she be-
gan her subject with the manner of one
who, under trying circumstances, was
expected to tell an intricate story and
to tell it well. At the beginning she
spoke slowly and with an almost i'm
perceptible tremor,' and although her
language and expression were un-
wavering, her gestures were studied
and made with great effort. Later
however, there was no suspicion of a
strain. She soon began to talk more
fiuently and at once had the sympathy
of her auditory. Her gesticulation
throughout smacked somewhat of the
stage, but it was lost sight of in her
masterful and comprehensive narration
of the beautiful story of the life and
character of Joan of Arc.
1t was only once that her hearers
could have suspected that she made
reference to her recent litigation. Con-
cerning Joan's successful point in in
ducing Charles VII to be crowned in
the cathedral at Rheims, Miss Dickin-
son remarked that the one great wish
of Joan had been gratified. "You and
l, friends, will have our day from
which we date; that day was her day."

Sparkling and Brilliant.

Whatever may have been Miss Dick
insons mental condition at the time of
her incarceration in an asylum, her
hearers last night seemed of the opin-
ion that she Is now possessed of a sound
and vigorous mentality. More than
that, she impressed her audience with
her brilliancy-sparkling, fluent and
imperious.
Her talk occupied an hour and half,
and only once during that period did
she faiter or repeat even a syllable, and
that was following an outburst of ap-
plause.
Her rare presence of mind was ex-
hibited under trying circumstances
when, after she had been talking near
ly an hour, the electric lights suddenly
went out and the house was left i'm
total darkness. The accident did not
cause break in her flow of language
She continued for perhaps a minute
but ceased when she perceived that
light would not return. The darkness
was then partially relieved by a few
gas jets in the rear of the auditorium
and which had been lighted by ushers
and spectators. Within a few more
minutes the stage carpenter ascer-
tanned that a fuse in the electrical
plant had burned out. Miss Dickinson
then proceeded with her subject and
within minute more the trouble had
been remedied.
At S.25 o'clock Miss Dickinson ap-
peared on the stage, which was artistical-
ly arranged as a parlor scene. She wore
a small figured red silk gown with full
train. The waist was cut low in front
and was semi-sleeved. Wide, real lace
was arranged from the shoulders and
at the opening of the sleeves. A mag
nificent ruby necklace encircled her
throat, and supported a large ruby
pendant. She wore solitaire earrings
and finger rings numerous and costly
Altogether, her costuming and jewels
and tout en- semble made a pleasing
combination picture of the elegance Of
past and present.
