THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
A Paris Model.

A three-act comedy by Mrs. Jane
Mauldin-teig' received it's first public
presentation at the Lyceum last night.
1t is called "A Paris Model and Will be
appreciated by those who enjoy light
farclcal. For first performance the COM
edy moved along very smoothly last
night and many of those who saw II prob
ably did not know that Mrs. Feigrs
dramatic Offering was undergoing Its first
crucial test.
The story of the comedy Is simple and
rather less complicated than the aver
age but IL is not altogether consistent or
logical and some changes will probably
he made before the authoress ceases work
on 1t. The first two acts proceed logical
ly enough but the last, which Is intend
ed to be the strongest, can be improved
upon with advantage. The climax Is
clumsly handled but this will no doubt
be changed after a few performances
A very superior company presented the
comedy last night and worked hard to
make it go with a dash and swing from
beginning to end With some changes
in the lines and situations they will no
doubt be able to do this. Mile. Pillar
NORM. who has earned wide reputation
as a pantomimist was chic and clever
as Mile. Robadeux and the Mons Andre
De Tolthey of Leo Dletrichstein could
hardly be improved upon. Other excel
lent members of the company were Maud
Haslam, Lorimer Johnson. Roy Fair
child. Caroline Cooke Mollie Revel and
Nina Freeth.

Show Wns Cancelled.

To the Public and My Patrons:
The Elite Vaudeville company which
appeared at Music hall this afternoon
was represented to me as a first class
vaudeville entertainment. While some of
the acts are quite good, on the whole the
show is not up to the standard I set for
the house, consequently l was obliged to
cancel the engagement. My next attrac-
tion. Miss New York, Jr.," is at present
at my house in Binghamton and 1t is
positively the finest attraction of its kind
on the American stage. Respectfully,

COMPLAINT FROM
DOWN DALEVILLE WAY
The Mill Will Never Grind With Water
That Won't Pass.
COMPANY DIVERTED THE WATER
This Caused Such n Diminution in
the Flow of the Creek That the Busy
Hum of the Grist Mill, the cider
Mill and the Shingle Mill Was
flushed aud the Valley Mourned in
Pleas Court.

The nameless little creek that marks
the bottom of the valley extending out
Daleville way from Roaring Brook, and
entering into the latter stream at mo.
l6 fill," would have swollen so with its
own Importance could it have been n
listener In court yesterday that it
would have overfown it's banks and oc-
casioned possibly as much damage as
it did in 1892, when 1t caused a big
washout on the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western and drowned lot of
cattle in Moscow and Elmhurst.
The riparian owners and occupants of
adjacent farms are the ones who We're
yesterday attaching so much import
ance to this little unmapped rivulet
OF these Erwin j. Ehrgood was the
principal. The others were his neigh
bors and well wishers Mr.. Ehrgood
has grist mill, cider mill and a shin
gle mill on the creek and uses the
water thereof to furnish power for
these several industries. All the far
mers for miles around brought their
grain, their apples and their shingle-
hemlock to this mill and were happy
in having such a convenient means of
making their flour. their cider and their
shingles. But there came a day in
1891 when all this happiness or a good
part of it at least dissolved and faded
away.

Music hail the last three days OF this
week his entirely new and already ia
nous spectacular burlesque entitled Miss
New York. Jr." In this production Mr.
Oppenheimer has endeavored TO unite
every essential requisite to placing be-
fore the public just what they desire.
The scenery is said to be of SURPRISING
beauty, while the costumes are most
gorgeous and the electrical display be-
wilderng. To all this is added a company
of thirty carefully selected artists among
whom are many to whom prominence
came long ago. The closing burlesque

wide scope to Mr. LeClair in the role OF

DIVERTED THE WATER.

III V lltE w Al
The Moscow Water company dam
med the stream above the mill and
diverted so much of the water into
their mains leading to the village of
Moscow, that the mills had to shut
down or run at such uncertain periods
that their usefulness was virtually
gone and the good yeoman of the val
ley had to cart their grain their ap-
Piles and their shingle-heplock over to
Jubilee.
For this great wrong the principal,
Miller Ehrgood wants $4,000 damages
and he has retained Attorneys f. c.
Newcomb and Thomas F. Wells to Sc
cure it for him. The Moscow Water
company is not disposed to give Mr..
Ehrgood all he claims or in fact any
part of it and with the aid Of Attor-
ncys O'Brien & Kelly and John r.
Edwards are striving to prevent the
collection of it. Judge Archibald and
twelve good men and true started in
yesterday afternoon to pass upon the
claim and it is likely they will be en-
gagged in the same task for couple of
days. The testimony for the plaintiff is
of very interesting character and
was listened to by a large crowd in
court room No. 2.
Judge Edwards, in the main court
room, disposed of two cases in a sum-
mary manner. The first was an eject
ment case from Carbondale in which
Michael Flannery and his three broth
ers were plaintiffs, and p. f. Mcdonald
and T. j. Fitzpatrick, defendants. They
claim the land in dispute by bequest
from their grandfather. When it de-
Veloped that the plot was divided into
two parts and that two of the boys
claimed one part and two the other.
the defendants counsel held that two
separate suits in ejectment should be
brought and the judge sustained the
contention.
MOTION TO AMEND.
The plaintiffs thereupon made mo-
ton to amend their bill and when it
was granted the defendants plead sur
prise and asked for a continuance
Judge Edwards again acquiesced. a
juror was withdrawn and the case
continued.
In the second case w. w. La Barr
was plaintiff and T.. +. Leonard and
Patrick Flanaghan defendants. La Barr
bought a S2S stove from Leonard in
February, 1895. paying $40 cash and
giving n note for the Balance. In No
vember following Leonard sued on a
| S2.40 balance before Alderman Post
| by default. La Barr failing to appear.
| An execution was issued, the stove
was sold for 81 and Flanaghan bought
it in. La Barr appealed the case and
when the appeal came up Yesterday
Judge Edwards directed verdict for
the defendants, holding that La Barr,
should have defended before the al
derman and having failed to do so lost
his right to appeal.
| Judge George S. Purdy, Of Honesdale,
who is to preside in the superior court
room, did not arrive yesterday, but
will be on hand today, it is expected.

was not an ordinary one. The first shot is
said to have been fired by Mr.. Strange at

AID FOR COSTA RICA.
Foreigners Residing In the Republic
Promise Financial support.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Senor Calvo,
the minister of Costa Rica, has received let
ters showing that the pending difti 3ulties
between Costa RIGA and Nicaragua have
caused patriotic expressions from the for
eign colonies residing in Costa Rica. These
colonies have offered to the Costa RIGA gov
eminent either money or aid of some other
kind in the defense of the country, tender
ing sums of money for the relief of the
wounded and the families of the killed in
case war cannot be avoided. The press of
Costa RIGA just received at the legation
contains many expressions of high appre-
citation and gratitude on the part of the
Costa RIGA government and people for the
patriotic and generous action of the French
American, German, Spanish, English, Chill
can, Colombian, Italian and Danish colo
MES.
The Spanish colony, at a melting held in
the Spanish Casico at San Jose, resolved
to create by subscription fund to be de-
voted to the aid Of the invalids, orphans
and widows that may result from the war,
and the collections taken up amounted to
$4,000, which sum short time afterwards
was swelled to more than $50, OO0 The Ger
man colony determined to maintain at its
own cost a field hospital under the flag Of
the Red Cross at once appropriating the
sum of $1,000 to the object, without preju-
dice to increasing the amount to the extent
this necessities may demand. Citizens of
the United States of America residing In
Costa Rico came. forward with equal
promptness, one of them, Mr.. James e.
Bennett personally placing at the disposal
OF the government $60,OOO.
RESOLUTIONS were adopted by citizens of
the United States desiring that all honor
able measures be taken to prevent the she'd
ding of blood by Costa Rica and Nicara-
qua, and appealing to their minister resi-
dent, the Hon. w. H. Merry, requesting
him to exert all his influence with the gov
ernments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua to
the end that q satisfactory settlement of
the question pending between the two re-
publics may be reached; also expressing
their heartfelt sympathy for the people Of
Costa RIGA in this crisis, and it's entire con-
fdence in the skill and ability of it's gov
eminent to bring about an honorable and
satisfactory settlement of the present diff
culties, and in case of inevitable war be-
tween the two nations to sincerely offer to
the government of Costa RIGA all the Pc
cuniary assistance within it's power and the
personal services of each of its members to
the extent that his status as a citizen of
the United States will permit
