The case was talked over and it

WORMWOOD

One of the most important pro-
ductions which will be seen in this
city this season is Charles W. Chase's
dramatization of Marie Corelli's
greatest novel "Wormwood, or the
Absinthe Drinkers of Paris" which
will be seen at the Grand Opera
House tomorrow night. Manager
A iden Benedict has heen generous
in preparing this piece for presen-
tatiOn. A company of great strength
has been engaged, the scenic inves-
ture is elaborate and the illusions
and electric effects both novel and
startling. The play, judging FROM
what IL said by those persons who
have seen it, is strong and interest.
ing. 1t does not closely follow the
book, the sensational portion of the
Corelli plot being turned by Mr..
Chase into a dream of tho absln-
theur while in a state of delirium.
Silvion Guidel has been changed
from a priest into poet and the
character of Mephisto has been in
troduced by the dramatist who
makes him one of the great charac-
ters of the play. In strange coll
tlast to the novel the drama onds
happily, CASTOR Beauvais being res-
cued from the dangers of absinthe
through the care OF Heloise st. Cyr,
who has nursed him through his
delirium fever.

more than 100 miles. The section of
the strike region in the vicinity Of
Forest City, which has been c0mpara-
lively quiet ever since the strike be-
gan, was greatly wrought up yester-
day by crowds of strikers interfering
with and beating men who had re-
turned to work, and US a result Sheriff
Maxey of Sus1uchanna county last
night asked Governor Stone for troops
to assist him and other civil authori-
ties to preserve the peace.
At the present time there are four
full regiments, two companies Of an
other and two troops of cavalry In the
field. The Thirteenth regiment is
camped at Olyphant, six miles north
of Scranton; the Ninth is quartcred at
its armory in Wilkesbarre, the Eighth
regiment and the Second Philadelphia
city troop are under canvas on the top
Of hill overlooking Shenandoah, one
battalion of the Twelfth and the gov
ernor's troop are in the Panther creek
valley, and one battalion Of the
Twelfth is preserving order in the city
of Lebanon, where the iron and steel
workers are on strike. If the disorder
continues, Governor Stone will be COM
PEELED to call out additional soldiers.
While there has been no big general
riot, the disturbances have been Of
such serious nature as to cause the
authorities much apprehension. Every
effort is being made by the sheriffs Of
the several countSs affected and the
troops to prevent disturbances from
growing to such an extent as to cause
bloodshed Reports are coming in
and others being either shot or clubbed.
Houses of workmen have been burned
or dynamited, and attempts have been
made to hold up coal trains or derail
them.
Coal is being shipped from many
parts of the coalfield to market; but.
compared with the normal output, the |
quantity Is insignificant. The output
for this week will be considerably less
than the average normal production of
one day. which is about 100000 tons.
The strikers claim that very little Of
the coal is freshly mined and that 1t is
mostly coal washed"

Reed, a well-known young man of
Smyrna who, with several COM

The government called Giovanni
Petachillo alias John Lemon on the
stand but Mr.. Emmons objected on
the ground that principal offender
could not testify in such case in
hope of receiving reward. lie said
that Lemon had already received re-
ward because a number Of cases
against him had been retired after
he had pleaded guilty to one charge.
District Attorney Byrne quoted
the instances Of Boggs and Cooper
being used as witnesses in the Dover
bank cases.
Judge Bradford decided to allow
Lemon to testify but suggested that
in case verdict Of guilty should be
rendered the court would consider a
motion for few trial on the ground
that the evidence of Lemon was i'm.

objection and an exception was
noted.
Lemon admitted making oath that
Mclf had lived here one year pre-
vous to January 10 last, but said that
Melii told him he lived in Philadel-
phia. Melti came to the witness and
asked him to get him papers. Melti
told him to say to the court that he.
Melfi, had bought rags in Wilmington
for three years.
Melf, Lemon said, under cross ex.
gave him $40 to pay for
three papers and he paid for them.
Lemon said he did not think, at the
