HINSDALE, NJ. H.
SCORE ANOTHER HIT.
Hinsdale Players Please Large Audi
ences With the Frozen Trail.

GuCGS WlGl the FROZEN Ira1I.
The Hinsdale Players scored dis
tinct triumph at the opera house Thurs
day evening when they presented the
best offering of their career, TIL
Frozen Trail, before an audience that
taxed the capacity of the house The
drama, the first two acts of which were
set among the snow fields of the great
north country and the last two acts in
New York city, necessarily demanded
q versatility of acting which demon
strated the superior ability of the mem
bers of the cast and nothing could be
suggested that would have added in
the slightest to either overwhelming
success The stage settings were the
best and most correct, even to the
minutest detail, both in regard to seen
cry and costumes ever seen here. The
interior of the hut scene which is the
product of the brush of the local ar
fist, J. z. Mann, certainly deserves
special mention and the parlor scene,
the scenery of which had been newly
paintd for the occasion, was very at
| tractive.
The audience was a model of atten-
| tion and appreciation and it must have
| been a source of confidence and pleas
ure to the players to note the genuine
satisfaction their efforts were giving.
| 1t was the aim of the players to pre-
sent radically different production
and at the same time something bet
| ter than ever before and they succeed
| ed beyond the expectations of all.
They were never seen to better ad-
vantage and their successful efforts are
! the result of careful and skillful train
| ing combined with their unquestioned
ability on the stage
Paul IT. Mann as DR.. Jack Moore, c
prospector had q part which called for
a wide range of acting and was well
suited to his ability. James G. Snow
as Cedric Rand, a wanderer, was very
satisfactory and John E. Scott as Tom
Starkie, a good fellow, was excellent
Harold c. Holland, who was called up
on to play the dual role of Jose Star
kie and Hon. Thomas Sears an ex.
| congressman, was without question
seen at his best and r NJ. Langworthy

DEFENSE WINS LEXINGTON CASE
In Wessinger Against Parr Shoals
Power COmpany-TO Seek New
Trial.

The State.
Lexington, June Give find for
the defendant" was the unanimous
verdict reached late yesterday by the
Jury in the case of James E. Wes-
singer against the Parr Shoals Power
company, trial of which was begun
Thursday in common pleas court for
Lexington county. Damages in the
sum of $4,000 were demanded, the
plaintiff alleging that an option and a
deed to certain lands sold by him to
tie defendant had been procured by
fraud and that 300 acre tract nearby
had been made uninhabitable by mos
quitoes and bad odors from the pond
formed by the defendants dam on
Broad river.
BY agreement arguments upon a
motion made yesterday for a new trial
will be filed with Judge Gary. 1t is
likely that if new trial be refused
an appeal will be taken to the su-
preme court Several witnesses who
testified for the plaintiff said they had
similar actions pending against the
power company. The verdict was the
first in favor of a corporation which a
Lexington county jury has found in
many months.
The court instructed the jury that
if Misrepresentation and fraud were
found to have been employed in pro-
curing the option and the deed it
would be the duty of the jury to as
certain in what amount the plaintiff
had been thereby damaged; on the
OF er hand, if no Misrepresentation or
fraud were found to nave been en-
ployed, the jury would find for the de-
fendant. The court Informed the jury
that the power company, having been
specifically released from liability in
the matter, could not be held to ac-
count by the plaintinff for any incon-
venience or loss he may have suffered
through mosquitoes or malaria or bad
odors due to the erection of the Parr
Shoals dam.
W. K. Smith, who obtained the op-
ton, testified that no fraud or misrep-
resentation had been used by him.
The signature of Mr.. and Mrs. Wes-
singer to tie deed were procured by
the late Frank E. Dreher of LeXing-
ton. Mr.. Dre.er's memory was warm
ly defended in the argument yester-
day of C. NJ. Efrd, one of the attor-
neys for the defense, wto was Mr..
Dreher's law partner for years.

An official report issued tonight re-
gardiug recent operations iu the Cal
lipOu peninsula sets at rest rumOrs
which have been bon circulation for
several days Crcditug the British
troops with having either cut off or
outflaukod the Turkish forces op-
posed to them. The report states
that while the ground gained lS OF
great value. the true objecuFos have
not been reached.
In the first attacks early iu the
month the Australians and New Ica-
laudcrs reached the summit Of Sari
Bahr and Chauak Bahr. commanding
positions ON the west coast OF the
peninsula. but through the failure OF
the new landing party at Suvla bay to
make the progress expected the
troops from the DomniouS were
compelled o. fan back Another at
tack was made last Saturday but on
this occasion having lost the ad-
vantage of surprise, the British could
not reach the summit and were COM
uelled 10 retire again. The report ad-
mits heavy British losses, but adds
that those of the Turks must have
been heavier
Although the British hold a front OF
Y miles along the west side of the
peninsula and at some points have
penetrated considerable distance into
the interior The Turks are making
a very stubborn defense of their posi-
uons but the allies have confidence
that with the strong forces 1t their
command and the assistance OF the
fleet the Dardanelles will be forced
