Last Show of Season at Gaiety.

The last show of the season at the
Gaiety theater proves to be one of the
most entertaining. The musical feat
ures by the white and colored per-
formers of the Merry Widows Bur-
lesque company were very good
throughout the entertainments yester-
day and the speciality acts were eX-
ceedingly funny. The singing of the
colored male quartette was highly APP
preciated and heartily encored. The
comedy sketch of Tom and Gertie
Grimes was one of the best of the
season, and the Powell Sisters, "who
sing just to please the boys" We're
very successful
Satille and Young, the California vo-
calists, and Howard, the contortionist,
were excellent, and the balance of the
olio, in which Beeson and Miles, Mig
non and Lulu and Thomas w. Mack
appeared, was pleasing. The Merry
Widows company will appear at the
Gaiety until tomorrow evening, with
matinees daily. closing the season to-
morrow night.
With Wednesday nights performance
the Geason at the Gaiety theater will
end. The house will remain closed
throughout the summer, being thor
oughly renovated, remodeled and new
seating capacity, and will open again
about Sept. 1, for the next season
There are some of the very best book
ings for next season of burlesque that
probably has ever been presented fol
the theater 'goers of Scranton. During
this season to come Manager Van Os'
ten has contracted to play all the very
big organizations from the very begin
ming of the season, prominent among
| them will be Weber & Fields attrac'
tions, Bryant & Watson's, Harry viii

The case of Edward Thayne against
the Scranton Railway company, which
was decided yesterday by the Supreme
court, is a victory for the company in
matter of considerable importance.
The case was an appeal from the judg-
ment of the Superior court reversing
a judgment in favor of the plaintiff in
the common pleas of this county. In
asmuch as two Judges of the Superior
court dssented from the judgment of
the court itself, the Supreme court al
lowed the writ of appeal and the case
was argued in February, Hon. John i.
Kelly representing the plaintiff, and
Attorney Everett Warren the defend
ant company, before the Supreme
court. Judge Jessup represented the
Traction company in the trial Of the
case in common pleas here, when a ver-
dict was rendered in favor of the plain
tiff for the sum of $3.50.
The plaintiff was a passenger on one
of the Traction company's cars, on the
Providence line: was standing out on
the platform, smoking a cigar. At or
near the power house on the Diamond
flats there was a collision, causing
damage to the car upon which the
plaintiff was riding and he struck the
dashboard in some way so as to re-
ceive severe injuries. The lower court
submitted the case to the jury and a
verdict was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff.
DECISION REVERSED.
The Superior court reversed the
| judgment of the lower court on the
| ground that the plaintiff was guilty OF
| contributory negligence, because ht
was on the platform riding when there
| was ample room inside the car. The
| Supreme court has affirmed the judg.
| ment of the Superior court and the
| case is now ended.
| The importance of the case is very
much in excess of the amount involved
because it involves the right of passen
gers to ride on the platform of cars
when there is ample room inside. anC
then claim damages if they are injured
by reason of their position on the car
