ADJUSTMENTS.

Wednesday and Thursday evening THE
Heart of Chicago" will be produced at the
Academy of Music. The drama is by Lin
coin j. Garter, and in the railroad scene
a seemingly impossible feat in stage effect
has been accomplished, the approach OF a
train head on growing larger and larger
as it appears in full view Of the audience
from a mere speck in the horizon, until at
last when the audience is almost wild with
the excitement of the situation, the full
sized locomotive stops at the footlights.
The illusion is perfect, at the beginning
of the act beautiful and realistic scene
is shown, with the track in perfect per-
spective running back apparently four
miles until it is lost in the distance.
one of the really novel and successful
plays of the past season is SHAFT No.
g" which will be seen at the Frothlng-
ham for a single performance next
Thursday evening. 1t is under the d.
rection of Manager Jacob Lift and Is
equipped with magnificent scenery ana
many new mechanical devices. 1t is apt
~ enough called an electrical melodrama,
for electricity plays an important part in
it, The story is highly interesting. The
storm scene in the third act Is admirably
realistic and is said to be one of the
grandest and most thrilling spectacles
ever seen on the stage.
The great play, "On the Mississippi
which portrays a type of life familiar in
the southern states during that period
Immediately after the war, is announced
for appearance in this city. The scenes
are laid where life has more color and
picturesqueness than it has in any other
section of this country. 1t is Sald that
each act is crowded with incidents that
are not only characteristic OF southern
life, but are very interesting in them
selves A performance in floating thea
ter, an attack of "a Jail and many events
in town and country, by river and noun
tain, fill out drama that is strikingly
effective The play will be presented at
the Academy of Music Friday and sat
urday next.

the Fifth ward returned Michael Shar-
ack, a Polander from Twenty-Second
street, for keeping a tipping house,
and Constable William Som, of Throop,
said that three streets of that borough
We're in deplorable condition. Ac-
companying the report was a petition
signed by twelve residents of the bor-
ough, praying the constable to report
the streets and have the borough Off
cials indicted for neglect of duty. Both
complaints We're referred to District
Attorney John r. Jones.
At 2 o'clock p. m. equity court opened

CONTENTION OVER ORGANS.
Arguments We're heard in the case of

Diehl Hall & Kemmerer represented
| the plaintiff and company, and S. b.
| Price the defendant. The action is to
| recover $4,000 which it is alleged the
| Guernseys collected for pianos con-
signed to the defendants by the Church
| Manufacturing company. The rule in
the case is to compel the GuernSeys
| to render an account and to enjoin
them from making any further collec-
| tions. The case was on at adjourn
ment and will take up a greater portion
of today, most likely. Frank A. Lee
| president of the Church company, and
Frank Butler, representative for this
territory, are the principal witnesses
for the plaintiff.

Out of Danger--He Says That
Neither of Them Ate Anything While
They Were at the Rottch House.
There is no doubt that the death of
the Beagle boy on Sunday near Rend-
ham and the serious illness of the Davis
boy was caused by poison. This was
indicated by a post -mortem eXamlna-
tion of the body of young Beagle by
Coroner Longstreet yesterday.
The coroner went to Worlds End"
the locality where the poisoning oc-
Cured near Rendham, impanelled
jury and performed the post-mortem,
assisted by DR.. Pennypacker, deputy
coroner: DR.. Stegner, of Rendham who
was called to attend both the boys
Sunday, and DR.. Weston, of West Pitts
ton, who was sent for yesterday for
consultation on the case of the Davis
boy who is now out of danger. Young
Beagle and Davis on Sunday visited
the house of John Rottch and on their
return home became violently i'll. 1t
was at the Rottch house that young
Almira Hadsall died two weeks ago
from the effects of arsenical poisoning.
EVIDENCE OF POISON.
The stomach and intestines of the
Beagle lad gave plain evidence of toxic
| gastra which is due to poisoning from
| some irritating substance like arsenic.
| Those organs We're removed and
| brought to Scranton for analysis by
| Chemist Benjamin, After impanneling
| the jury the inquest was continued un-
| til January IS in order to ascertain the
result of the analysis and give County
| Detective Leyshon time to work on
| the case.
| The source of the poison remains a
| mystery. Young Davis, who is but I
| years Old maintains that neither he nor
| Beagle ate or drank from the time
they left home until they returned.
| The excitement during the successful
| effort to save his life confused him.
however, and he may be able to give
| some clue later.
1t was due to his mother by the way
| that he didn't die. Before the doctor
arrived she forced him to drink alto
gether a gallon of new milk which
produced frequent and intermittent
vomiting. Milk is by substance, too, "a
| good arsenic antidote.
COVER ON THE SPRING.
The spring near the Rottch house and
out of which it was thought the boys
might have drank poisoned water has
| a locked cover on it.
Mrs. Rottch found near the road in
front of the house yesterday morning
