The familiar and favorite melo-drama

duced at the rockingham this even
ing. This organization is under the
mana cement of Mr. Thomas Jefferson

Jelfersor). and the company presenting
this popular play is the same as sup
ported Mr.. jefferson at the Frothing-
ham THANKSGIVING day a year ago. The
character of Biddy Roman Is enacted
by Miss Annie Ward Tiffany. This
character has made the play promi-
nent and Miss Tiffany has made the
character famous. The scenic and me-
chanical effects are very elaborate.
The presentation here. by Mr.. Days
company. of the exquisite comedy, "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" with all
the original scenery and musical effects
that were such Sumptuous settings fol
the play when 1t was done at Days
theater in New York is certainly an
occasion that ought to seriously COM
mend itself to our theatcr- goers. Mr.

privilege of realizing it. 1t can hardly be

their speciality and extravaganza com
pany ina lively skit entitled Fortuna :
says the Syracuse Standard. 1.-The at
tendance was good at both perform
ance and the speciality artists were es-
pecially clever. The Washburne sisters
were the attraction. The play Is full
Of life from start to finish. The music
and songs are of Il catchy nature, and
there is plenty of fun to drive away the
blues. The singing both by tne solo
lists and chorus Is also worthy of note.
The dancing is skillful and artistic and
the costumes are elegant. Among the

LETTER FROM REV. DIR. pEARCE.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-1t Is not expected by the commit
tee appointed at the Minister'S meeting
on Monday to secure means for the relief
OF the Armenian sufferers. that it is i'm
peritive for the ministers of the several
churches of our city to preach on the sub
ject and take a collection next Sunday
evening. This may not be possible with
some Of them. previous engagements or
special service In their church may pre-
vent. But 1t Is sincerely hoped that this
important and pressing matter will he
presented to all of the churches in the very
near future and In such ways as they may
think best. 1t is also expected that the
churches will be at liberty to send their
contributions II they SO desire. through
their own missionaries or Christian work
ers who may be on the field or to the Chris
tian Herald or the Clara Barton fund or
to leave it at the office of Colonel BOies
who has been appointed the treasurer of
the fund by the committee and who will
see that 1t goes speedily on its beneficent
mission. Let us respond with the readi-
ness and willingness that the awful emer-
gency demands and that characterizes
Scranton when great need Is presented.

THAT FELL INJUNCTION.
Testimony Of Complainant and defend


ant Heard in Equity Court Yesterday.
In equity court yesterday morning the
hearing in the petition for an injunc-
ton to restrain Asher NJ. Fell of Wilkes

Attorney John d. Conley, of Detroit,
the one who asks for the injunction,
was on the stand the most of the day.
The greater part of the evidence of the
complainant tended to show that Asher
NJ. Fell. who Is co-eXecutor of the estate
with Attorney Conley. had been very
slipshod in his accounts of what money
he used or the sums which passed
through his hands.
Mr. Fell admitted on the stand that
he made use Of 5000 and kept no account
of ii i'm the regular way that such mat
ters should be attended to. The alle-

the mismanagement of the estate by
Mr. Fell, the Conley children. who are
grandchildren of the decedent and bene-
ficiaries of One-half of the estate, have
not received II single penny OF what be-
longs to them.
The testimony adduced on the part of
the defendant was to prove that the
conley children had received large
sums of money, and that no matter
what sums Mr.. Fell has converted to
his own use. the estate Is stii. indebted
to him. 1t also assumes to show tnat
whatever part of the estate has been
