ROYAL NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD.
Ii Will Be Held in Newport. Mon
mouthshire, Wales in August.

Mr.. Griffith, of the American Kelt,
has received some important informal
ton for eisteddfodwyr from the gen
aral honorable secretary of the Royal
National Eisteddfod of Newport Mon
mouthshire, Wales. The dates of the
meetings are August g. 4, 5, G, 1897.
$3.50 is offered in prizes; S2105 for
poetry and prose; $4,000 for art and
science, and $4,47j for music
The eisteddfod is under the direct
patronage of Queen Victoria. The pres
ident is Lord Tredegar, who has con-
tributed $4,000 to the funds of the els
teddfod. The great prominence given
to art and science this year reveals the
hand of the famous Herltomer, who has
been allowed full scope to carry out
plan very near to his heart, namely,
to divert the Welsh mind to the study
of art as well as music and poetry.
Mr.. Griffith, also, has secured the
approval and cooperation of the eX-
ecutive committee, chairman, Alderman
Thomas Jones; secretary. Mr. A. ]. Phil
lips, both of Newport, in organizing a
party of eisteddfod pilgrims from
America.

LEFT THE COMPANY.
Members OF the Lester Aggregation of
Players Looking for the Manager
and the Star.

Happy in spirits over the weeks good
business that Scranton gave them, the
members of Minnie Testers dramatic
company tripped lightly yesterday
morning from their hotel the West
Minister to the Delaware and Hudson
station, where they were to take the
1915 train for Carbondale. and they
sat in the str tion counting the ticks of
the big-faced clock, watching and
waiting for the appearance of Minnie
Lester herself the star" of the com
pany; and, more important yet, they
strained their eyes for George T..
Mitchell, owner of the show, and the
man who held all moneys thereof.
They waited in vain.
Briefly stated, here is the condition of
affairs: The man Mitchell, though
that is not what the actors call him,
left Scranton yesterday morning for
Bethlehem, taking with him unbe-
knOwnst to the company, Miss Minnie
Lester, who is his wife, their little
4year-old son, the boys nurse and the
proceeds of the last weeks engage
ment
When the fact Of the desertion was
known to the company, all except one
member left on a later train for Car
pondalC. This one is Charles J. Har-
us, stage manager He sought Chief
of Police Robling, who discovered the
whereabouts of Mitchell. and by tele
graph ordered his arrest at Bethe-
hem. In the afternoon Harris swore
out a warrant before Alderman O. b.
Wright charging Mitchell with the en-
bezzement of from 500 to $500 due
to sundry persons"
The sundry persons are the members
of the company, who have not been
paid their salaries for nve weeks. Con-
stable John Tierney was given the
warrant and left on the 430 Jersey
Central train for Bethlehem. Mitchell
will probably be brought back today.
When the company got to Carbon
dale, where they We're billed for q
weeks engagement, they were con-
fronted with the absence of the lead
ing lady Miss Lester. That seemed to
cut little figure, as Stage Manager
Harris said, and the regular perform
ance was given last night, an under
study taking Miss Testers part.
The members of the company seem to
think that Miss Lester will be back
in the ranks for tonights performance

His Home on Providence Road.
Italians Given Hearing

a hearing was given in police court
early last evening to the three Italians
arrested on suspicion of having shot
William FiChter on Providence road
Sunday night. They We're committed
to jail without bail to await the result
of Fichters injury.
FIGHTER was last night lying in a
semi-conscous state, but whether in
consequence of the liquor he had drank
sunday night or from the bullet wound
on his skull is not known.
The Italians are John and Ferdinan-
do Scardamogho, brothers, 81 and 26
years old, and GerOmi Pettinoti. 80
years old John Scardamogho is the
one suspected Of having done the
shooting. He is the smallest of the
three and answers the description Civ
en- the police of the man who had the
revolver The hat found near the
scene of the shooting fits the younger
Scardamogho's head.
At the hearing the witnesses We're
Foster Reynolds and Otto VOCkroth, NJ.
G. Williams, the Ontario and Western
ticket agent, who saw the three Ital-
ianS now under arrest near the scene
and ShadoWed them to the house where
the police arrested them, and a Mrs.
Brown, who was among the residents
who took charge of FIGHTER immedi-
ately after he was shot. They told
story substantially as was that report
ed in yesterdays Tribune.
The prisoners We're not represented
by council at the hearing, nor was
their victim. They appeared nervous
and i'll at ease. None of them has ad-
mitted knowing anything of the shoot
ing. They made no denial of being in
the vicinity and on the street while
the crowd was gathered about the
wounded FIGHTER, but insist that they
heard no shots.

MESSETT COMMITTED
TO COUNTY JAIL
He is Held TO Await the Result of
Michael Regan's Injuries.
LATTER'S CONDITION CRITICAL
Messett Expresses Great Regret at
Weapon on the Rcgans, But Says
He Was Sorely Pressed and That
Was His Only Way of Protecting
Himself from Serious Injury,

John Messett, the Railroad avenue
achinist, who on Sunday night
stabbed the two Regan brothers, was
committed to Jail yesterday morning by
Mayor Bailey without bail to await the
result of the serious stabbing of Mi
chael Regan, who is at the Lacka-
wanna hospital. Regans condition last
night was critical, though the hospital
surgeons think he is more apt to re-
cover than to die.
To the police Messett made no denial
of his offense, but claimed he did the
stabbng in self-defense. When ar
raigned before the mayor Messett was
Visibly affected He said he was sorry
he had been obliged to use u knife; he
would rather he had suffered an ordi-
nary beating at the hands of the Re
gans, but if he had not stabbed them
he would have been killed.
Mayor Bailey was asked to accept
bail, but refused to do 50 in such a grave
case. Messetts face, aside from an
abrasion of the skin on one side of the
nose, showed no evidence Of desperate
fight.

THEY WERE ON THE BORROW.
Money StringenCy Makes Itself Felt
Among the Liquor Dealers.

Yesterday was the last day for taking
out liquor licenses and from early
morning until o'clock in the evening
County Treasurer Schadt was kept
busy handing out little slips of paper
that cost anywhere from $40 to $500.
owing to the rush of business the
treasurer was not able to figure out eX-
actly how many licenses We're taken
out, but he was quite positive that Il
number of those who We're granted
licenses did not take advantage of the
privilege given them.
The hard times and consequent poor
business left many of the retailers with.
out the necessary license fee and the
brewers and Wholesalers We're as a re-
suit called upon in many cases to put
up for their patrons. SO general was
the demand for loans that it gave rise
to a joke that one of the brewery Of
fees were closed yesterday.

Young Woman Gave an Exhibition of

To the crowd of men standing on the

noted was interesting at least. A

appearances of good family, was prom
enading down Wyoming avenue on the
arm of a young man.
When the corner was reached another
young woman met the couple and
stopped. There was a few words of
consultation then the new conner sud
denly drew back her arm and struck
the other woman in the face.
There We're more words and the pug
iliStic young woman left the two and
