PLAYWRIGHT AND MANAGER.
Are at Dagger's Points over the Title
"The Heart of Maryland.'

The following letter was received yes
terday:
Carnegie Hall, n. v, May 20, 1897
Dramatic Editor, Tribune, Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir:-The Elroy Stock company
now in Scranton, have been announcing
q version Of an old French play under the
title "Jn the Heart of Maryland" The
use of this title is an infringement on my
property, Would esteem 1t great favor
If you will make mention of the fact in
your columns that the play is not THE
Heart of Maryland" which trust l shall
soon have the pleasure of presenting in
Scranton with my own company, ana in
the same manner as it was produced go
nights in New York city last season.
Yours truly David Belasco.
To this Mr.. Elroy, Of the Elroy Stock
company, makes answer as follows
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-Relative to Mr.. Belasco's letter re-
gardng my play, I'm the Heart of Mary
land" being anything like his is wrong.
1t is not; and as for the title, his play is
called THE Heart of Maryland" and per-
tains to a &oman's heart, while my play,
"In the Heart of Maryland" treats en-
tirely of the state of Maryland. l have
never seen his play and cannot comment
on it, but If it is similar to his other plays
IL is a cieVer steal, am nQrest enough
to admit where l got my play, while Mr..
Belasco steals and gives none but Be-
lasco the credit.
In his play, "The Girl l Left Behind
Me-" he deliberately stole Dion Bouci-
cault's old play, Jessie Brown" and
never gave the .rightful author credit for
it. Oh, he's a clever plagarist, and no
mistake; but before / get through with
him, at least a few will know him for
what he is worth. My play is copyright
ed and protected as much as his, and
will see that the court will protect me
from the lying SANDER Of this prince of lit
erary pirates. I will be in New York next
week and will begin suit at once for GRIM
iral libel as well as damages done me by
falsely representing me through the col
umns of the press. Edwin Elroy.

MONTH OF FEW FAILUR Es.

New York, November 5.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review of trade will say
IN its issue of tomorrow: Stronger
proof of the great change in the condition
OF business could not be given than is
found in the detailed report of failures
by branches of business for the month of
October.
! Though swelled by few large specu-
Iative or brokerage failures, the aggre-
gate was smaller than in any other
month for more Than four years, except
July and August and one month in 1894.
The manufacturing and trading failures,
1888, 1919. against 7,830,Sl1 in Septem-
her and $7,760, S35 in August, include
one for Sl,000.000 having no relative
to the present state of business.
The quiet following the great rush of
orders and purchases for over two
months is still increased in many branch
es by unseasonably mild weather, and yet
the mills are obliged to refuse many or
GERS because unable to finish previous en-
gagements soon enough. More works have
joined the active list, including some
long idle, and the production in iron
manufacture is the greatest ever known.

HI cKED TO DEATH BY TRAMP:
Horrible Murder of Four Children il
Quebec.

Montreal, Que, November 5.-Word
reached here today from the parish of
Rawdon, twelve miles from St. Jullenne,
Que. of the murder of four persons, the
children of Michael Nulty, a farmer.
Yesterday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Nulty
went to st. Julienue, leaving their four
children in the house. Three Of the chill
dren were girls aged IS. 16 and IA re-
spectively, the fourth a boy aged 10. The
discovery of the murder was made by a
friend of the family named Morrin. He
called at the Nulty house in the afternoon
and found the front door broken in and
two of the children, the boy and the
younger girl lying on the floor of the
hall, their heads literally hacked to
pieces, On tbs road to the barn he found
the body Of the second eldest girl and in
the barn the body of the elder girl was
found terribly lacerated. Her clothing
had been torn from her body.
A tramp who was seen in the neighbor-
hood of the house Is suspected of the
crime and detectives are looking for him.
No motive for the crime other than that
of the outraging of the elder girl can be
given. A bloody axe was found near the
house.

MISS WIZARDS RESIGNATION.

Buffalo, November 5.-The resignation
of the board of trustees of the Temple
and particularly the effect of Miss Will
lard s resignation would have was the
sole subject of conversation among the
members of the W. G. L. u, still in the
city. BY some it was urged that Miss
Willard g action was death blow to the
institution. The facts of the matter are
that Miss Willard resigned as trustee of
the Temple in earnest request of her en-
tire board of officers and of the executive
committee. The reason for this is that
the executive committee of the National
W. G. Z. U. does not wish to appear in
any way responsible for the temple, does
not wish to have that Institution consid-
cred part of the national organization
and it was felt that if Miss Willard con-
tinued to act as trustee, the impression
would go forth through all the land that
the National W. @ L. u, was RESPONSE
BILE for the temple. Her resignation as
trustee, however, will in no way effect
Miss Wizards interest in the temple as
she Will devote herself to the task of
raising funds for paying off the trust
bonds.
Mrs. Carse left this morning for Chi
caeo. During her stay in Buffalo she
raised more than $4,000 toward the tenn
pie fund. She stated that she was fully
satisfied that the fund would be raised so
that the building might be saved for the
w. C. T. U.

The grouping of towns into districts for
better supervision is the main reason why
Massachusetts, has better schools than
we have, said Mr.. Blanchard. Now we
have the same opportunity and should
profit by it. A lively discussion followed
participated in by Prof. burlington OF

BOWLING LAST NIGHT.

In the game between the Imperials and
Arlingtons at Pines alleys last night the
finest bowling Of the season was done by
Wilson, who secured the highest total
1896, for the season, and also the highest
single, 10Y. Al is always in it from
start to finish, and will be found very
near, If not quite,a the top on all averages
this season. Haskins rolled beautiful
game and is deserving of much credit
for his work under such discouraging
conditions as the score will show. He
rolled fully as good first ball as Wilson,
but was far behind him in cleaning
up bad breaks. Silva got in his usual
good work and added materially to the
score of the team which is the largest
of the season. The score:

was useless to try to show that Marshal
knights had put story into Joseph
Rounds's mouth. Joseph himself had
said that the marshal told him to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth.
Judge Tolman said it was fact that
Mrs. Roberts grave had been violated.
The whole community was interested in
such a crime. The law only demanded
nrobable cause; and he would find
probable cause and order the respondent

dollars for his appearance at the January

who sat stolidly through it all, betraying
no anxiety or emotion.

naii team OF the Portland High school.
"hether these enthusiasts will return

" written on their countepance remains
TO % seen. The Portland boys are in fine
conaitlon for the game and expect to
put good fight against the team from
bangor II they do not defeat them. One
'hing Is certain, the game will be a hard
ougnt one on both sides and the chances
are that the people of Portland will
nave an opportunity Of witnessing the
fastest exhibition of foot ball that has
fever been seen here.
