HORNS OTHER REASONS,
Grounds Laid Upon Which Ito Asks for Il
Divorce.

The additional bill of particulars in
the divorce proceedings of Captain
John Horn. of Green Ridge, against
Mathilda Horn. his wife. was filed yes
terday with Prothonotary Pryor by
Captain Horns attorney.
1t Is alleged in this bill Of particulars
that on March II, 1895. Mrs. Horn hit
her husband with an umbrella: that on
March q she assault d him with IL cur
tain roller; that on June Is she threw a
heavy screw driver at him. at the same
time threatening to kill him: that in
the month of April, 1895. she threw a
small chair at him: that in February.
1895. she spat i'm his face: that she ha-
bitually and almost continuously. ma
liciously and insOlently taunted him by
saving that she had married him for
his money and his property, and that
she would torment him and ruin him
and make a poor man of him, unless he
would pay her a large sum of money !;
that by reasons of this misconduct
threats, taunts and unbridled temper
of Mrs. Horn, he has been greatly eX-
cited, VeXed. made nervous, and great
ly injured in his health and his peace
of mind has been destroyed thereby
and his home made uncomfortable, his
health materially impaired and his life
made burdensomc, and his condition
intOlerable.
All of these facts CAPTAIN Horn says
he is prepared to prove by his own
testimony and that of William Horn.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
Reason of the Meeting to Increase the l..
!. 4 :. Company's Indebtedness ST.
800. .OOO-It Is to Pay the Mortgage on
the Recently Acquired Lebanon Plant.

The I.ackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany has increased its bonded indebt-
edness from 81, 100000 to s3.000,OOO.
The increase was made yesterday by
n meeting of the directors In the COM
pany'S office on l.ackawanna avenue
and was for the purpose of providing
funds to pay the mortgage nearly due
on the cOmpany's recently acquired
Lebanon furnaces and steel mills.
The published notices stated that the
meeting would decide upon increasing
the Indebtedness but did not reveal the
object of the increase and naturally
there was much speculation in business
circles as to the reason.
Officials of the company when QueS-
toned yesterday by Tribune reporter
would not state whether the increase
had been voted nor it's purpose. The
current opinion was that the funds
We're to he used for enlarging and i'm
proving the Scranton plants. and this
view, involving as 1t did a matter of To-
cal Importance, caused the unusual
curiosity concerning the meeting,
1t was from a person closely identified
with the company's affairs but not an
officer that The Tribune learned the
$l.S0O,000 Is to be paid on the Lebanon
mortgage The source of this informa-
tion is absolutely reliable and sets at
rest all surmises of additions to the
Scranton mills and furnaces.

The production of midsummer

tion of Augustin DAILY should be an
event. When Mr.. DAILY brought this
wonderful poetic fancy into view sew
eral seasons ago at his New York thea
ter. il chiefly IMPRESSED itself upon his
patrons as being an example of dram

could hardly be surmised by even the
most determined of students. In Mr..
Daly's several revivals of midsummer
Nights Dream" at his home theater
he has made a great impression, as has
been said, hut when he carried Goals
to Newcastle. and ran it for some fifty
nights at his London theater, that was
