Treasurer C. p. King and Electrician
Edwin Strane, Of the New CaStle-Wil-

Castle Jail late last night of the request
OF Sheriff Flinn, who is disguised with
the jail light, and has appealed to the
Levy Court for immediate action on
this matter
Two representatives of the press ac-
companied the sheriff and electrician
I'm the inspection. Three gas jets from
which nickered dim little lights,
furnished all the light with
which to watch forty cells and from
100 to 24O prisoners. 1t is next to i'm
possible for n sentinel. to see what is
going on inside the cells. without the
use OF a tcll-tale lantern, and one pris-
oner might dig and cut all night while
another kept ON the watch for wardons.
Outside the jail there is no light
whatever. and when one makes an in
spection. it strikes the visitor that the
county is guilty of serious neglect in
guarding the dangerous mon in tho
prison, some OF them serving a lie sen

cmy Of Music

"A Midsummer Nights Dream" with
wealth of beautiful stage settings.
was seen at the Academy of Music Sat
urday night by u large audience. The
company that produced 1t was under the
management of Arthur Rehan and the
comedy was given as nearly like Daly's
sumptuous revival of 1t as the possi-
bilities Of a travelling company will al
low.
The stage settings throughout were
beautiful and artistic. the woodland
scenes In the second, third and fourth
acts excelling the others in these re-
spects. The comedy Is one Of the most
poetic Of Shakespeare's works one diff
cult to stage and easily marred by in
adequate setting. Saturday nights
production was the work of an artist.
deft in the difficult art of harmonizing
cOlors and producing beautiful stage
pictures.
An excellent company spoke the lines
of the comedy Among the members of
it worthy of mention were John Doud.

SUPERIOR COURT SESSION
Opens at II O'clock To-Day 10 the
Federal Building.
HOW THE JUDGES MILL ACT
Court Etiquette Provides That Everybody
Shall Rise When the Crier Aunounces
the Judges Entranee-Particuiars
Of the Duties Of the Body.

The first session of the superior court
of Pennsylvania will begin in this city
today in the Federal building. Twice
has the court sat in Philadelphia while
the seven members were holding an ap-
pointive office, but the session which
begins here today is the first since the
judges were elected to their high office
by the people.
At II o'clock the court will open and
will continue In session all this week
and probably during three days of next
week.
Etiquette Of the supreme court Of the
United States, lately adopted by the
supreme court Of Pennsylvania will be
followed in the superior court When
the judges enter the chamber the crier
will strike his desk with a gavel and
formally announce, 1.-The honorable. the
president Judge and the associate judges
of the superior court of Pennsylvania"
Lawyers and spectators will be standing
while this announcement Is made and
will not be seated until the judges oc-
cupy their chairs. The method of prac-
tice will be the same as that before the
supreme court.
1t will be the first official sitting in
the superior court by Judge r. p. Smith,
of this city. who was not u member Of
the body appointed by the governor.
Judge Mccarthy. appointed by Cover
nor Hastings. was not afterward elect
ed by the people, accounts for the indiv-
idual positions OF the judges on the
bench. The law provides that the presi-
dent Judge and positions and seniority
of the other six must be decided by lot.
Under their appointive term Judge
Rice. OF Wilkes-Barre. was chosen
president Judge and Judge Orlady oc-
cupied seventh position at the extreme
left of the president judge. Judge Nc
Carthy was No. 8 and occupied the ex-
treme right He not being afterward
| elected, his place naturally falls to No.
Z, which is Judge Orlady. No. Z Is the
position of Judge Smith, the only
Democratic Judge and the only Judge
not member of the court under the
appOintive term.
Ini Selecting the P0sit ions.
While the law specifies that seniority
and position shall be decided by lot, the
court in a way carried out the letter Of
the law and arranged the drawing by
numbers so that the members will Oc-
cupy the same positions as before cleo
tion. except in the case of Judges Or
lady and Smith which Is explained
above. Beginning at the right of Judge
Rice will sit Judge willard, No. .; at

HOME BADLY DAMAGED.
1t Was Visited by Fire on Saturday AZ
tcrnoon- Inmates All Taken Safely
fram the RurninC RuildinC.

from the Burning Building.
The Home of the FriendleSS on Ad-
ans avenue, near Gibson street, was
the scene of a fire Saturday afternoon,
which, had 1t happened at night, might
have caused injury and perhaps death
among the twenty-eight children and
eight old ladies', inmates, and the ma
tron and assistants. However. no acci-
dents occurred. The flames caused
enough damage to prevent occupancy
Of the Home for probably two weeks.
The fire was discovered soon after
o'clock by Matthew Robling. who lives
In that vicinity. He notified Mrs. Wal
ker, the matrOn. and an alarm was
sounded from box %, corner of Adams
avenue and Olive street. which brought
Phoenix Chemical, Crystal, Nay Aug
and Relief companies to the scene. An.
other alarm from box 2S, corner of JEFF
ferson avenue and Gibson street,
brought the Century and Neptune COM
panies from the South Side and Hook
and Ladder company.
The flames appeared in the roof work
and walls Of the upper rooms in the
south wing of the building. and, 1t was
later found. extended all the way up
inside the walls from the first floor.
where they started from a defective
furnace fiue. Prompt work with the
chemical apparatus checked the first
onslaught of the fire, but II was neces-
sary to resort to water to finally sub
due them. The firemen were at work
for two hours.
1t is estimated that the building was
damaged $4,000 and furnishings $1,50O.
This is fully protected by an insurance
| of 10000.
The young and old inmates of the
Home were housed by neigh bors, but
eventually sixteen children and four
| old ladies were taken to the Young Wo-
mems Christian association rooms,
where they will remain until the Home
| Is again ready for occupancy or until
after meeting of the board of man.
| ayers. with the advisory board at 9
o'clock this morning In the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms.
Twelve children and four old ladies are
still being cared for by the neighbors.
The matron, Mrs. Walker, is with Mrs.
G. +. Matthews, vice-president OF the
Home. Mrs. Walker was i'll ut the time
of the fire and Over-exerted herself in
looking after the safety of her. charges.
but was yesterday feeling all right
again.
Through The Tribune the Officers of
the Home wish to extend their thanks
to firemen and neighbors and to call the
attention Of the advisory board to the
meeting at the Young WOmen's Chris-
tian association rooms this morning.
