Van Nort, confidential clerk and bookkeeper at R. M. Lindsay's "Boston Dry Goods Store," was yesterday afternoon the victim of as olever a sharper as has visited Scranton "in many moons." At five o'clock, while Mr. Lindsay was out and Mr. Van Nort was at his desk, a stranger entered.

He was hatless and had the appearance of a olerk. He stepped up to Mr. Van Nort, represented that he was in the employ of B. E. Leonard, hardware dealer, next door, and stated that Mr.

Leonard, being short of money and the banks being closed, had sent him in to see if the Boston Store would not cash a small check for him. Mr. Van Nort looked at the cheok. It was for $65. and was drawn on the Merchants and Mechanics Bank.

Upon one corner was printed the name, B. F. Leonard, and the signature, written in a bold business hand, was similar. It did not occur to Mr. Van Nort at that time that Mr.

Leonard's initials are B. E. After hesitating for a minute or two, he cashed the check, and the man left the store. After the man had gone out, Mr. Van Nort again examined the check, and then it occurred to him that there was something wrong with the initials.

It did not take him longo satisfy himself as to that. When inquiry was made at Mr. Leonard's it was found that no one had been sent from that place with the check. A boy who saw the man leave the store stated that he began to run as soon as he reached the street. Efforts were at once made to arrest the offender, but they proved unavailing.

He is said to be a young man of medium height and rather slender buiid, with Bandy hair and a short sandy moustache. His dress was that of a well to do business man. In appearance he is decidedly prepossessing. Mr. Van Nort, who visited the L.

W. depot shortly after the fraud was discovered, thinks he saw the sharper upon the station platform. He hurried off to apprise the police. When he returned the man was go ne. A young man answering the description of the forger stopped at John Lohmann's hotel on Lackawanna avenue on Monday night.

At six o'clock last evening he paid his bill, secured his grip and started stationward, saying that he was about to leave the city. Tho police fear that the man cannot be oaught. Business Notice. Go to the Eureka Steam Laundry for good work. Dilley Swartz.

Smith, is the attorney in the case. The complainants set forth that it was the duty of the officials of the city of Carbondale to see that the streets and crossings of that city were kept in good repair and in a safe condition in order that persons lawfully passing In and along said streets and crossings might not be injured. Yet, the defendants, not regarding their duty, would not use due care in having said streets placed in proper condition and on Nov. 22, 1889, Mrs. Chilton found the crossing at the corner of Main and Eighth streets in an unsafe condition.

By reason thereof she fell with great force, bruisintr and lacerating herself and injuring hor spine. From these in juries she was a long time disabled, suffering great pain ana inconvenience, and being put to great expense. Hence this suit. Business Valentines at Norton's.

The Ontario, Carbondale and Scranton Railway Company in court yesterday made application for the appointment of viewers to fix damages for the taking for railroad purposes by said company of a tract of land in the City of Carbondale, owned by Van Bergen Company.

There was a fair attendance last evening at the semi monthly session of the Lackawanna LaW Club. President Warren presided. Tho feature was a paper on "Early Land Titles" by J. Alton Davis, whioh was very entertaining as well us Instructive, the hard legal points being brightened by dashes of rich humor. Later came an argument by W.

W. Baylor, Walter Brigirs, Judge Archbald sitting as provost The case argued was Smith vs. DoWitt, and was an action of slander, DoWitt, when on the witness stand in an another case, having made a charge against Smith which the latter claims damaged him greatly. The argument of the plaintiff was that slanderous and defamatory words spoken by the witness, if irrelevant and made through malice, were not privileged. The argument of the defendant was that the plaintiff had failed to mako out a case, because he had not shown malice on the part of DeWitt The arguments were well rendered by both gentleman and Judge Archbald then proceeded to deliver a careful and learned opinion.

He complimented both attorneys upon the excellence of their arguments, and felicitated the club on the interest manifested in the proceedings. He decided in favor of the defendant, that the words uttered were not actionable. A ROBBER IN JAIL. How the Crime of a Bold Rascal was Detected. Robert Courtright was taken before Alderman Post yesterday to answer a charge of highway robbery preferred by Thomas Nolan.

Nolan and Courtright were passing through an alley on January 22d. Courtright assaulted Nolan and took his watch. The same night Courtright was arrested for being drunk and put in the station house. He was fined $3.50 and not having that amount left his watch as security. On February 3d, he redeemed the watch and going to Green's pawn shop at 107 Lackawanna ayenue, "hung it up" for $4.

Chief Wade thought all was not right and took the number of both case and works. Nolan had heard nothing about the arrest of Courtright or what had become of the watch until last Monday. He went to jeweler, F. C. Litz, of whom he purchased the watch and obtained the number of the case and works and then took them to Chief Wade.

The two numbers corresponded. When Courtright was arrested a pawn ticket for the watch was found ou his person. Nolan went to Green's pawn shop and identified the watch as his property. As the offense was not a bailable one Courtright was committed to the county jail. Business Notice Stormonth's Great English Dictionary, reprinted from the original at one fourth Its price.

Tho audience that assembled at Music Hall last evening to witness Trof. Reynolds' feats in mesmerism had their fill of pure fun before the performance was over. Some difficulty was experienced at the start in procuring subjects, but out of about forty or fifty volunteers who went on the stage, the Professor suooeeded in finding five persons who would yield to his mesmerio influence two of the number being young ladies. When the subjects wero once under control their actions wero extremely ludricous. To illustrate, the Professor took a silver dollar and gave it to one of the young men to keep it he could.

The subject the coin iu his pocket. The Professor had only made a fow passes when the young man hurriedly took the money from his pocket and throw it ou the floor, handling it as thouirh it was red hot. Gold was then apparently thrown upon the stugo by tho Proies sorandthe subjects droppod down on the floor and began to fill their pockets with the imaginary wealth. The ocean waves wore next introduced and the parties got up and stood on their chairs to keep from getting wot. Then the scene was changed to winter.

One young man pulled his coat collar up around bis ears; another blew on hisfiugers; tho young ladies wrung their hands and shivered aud the other man tied a handkerchief over his head. Two of the boys fished over the footlights and caught apparently fish enough to furnish foundation for an idoal piscatorial yarn. The look of surprise upon the hops of the subjects when coming out from under the inlluence was most laughable. The youngest boy on the platform was given a cane which the l'ro fossor said was a baDy. The boy carried the stick with the greatest care in his arms down to a lady in the audience, and whon be realized that it was only a stick he held in his arms, the expression upon his countenance was a study.

Space would forbid a mention of the comical features of the performance, but It was throughout refined as well as amusing, and there is no doubt that Prof. Reynolds will be greeted with larite audience to night.

Herrmann To night. The grent aud only Herrmaun, the prlnoe of prostidigitateurs, will appear at the Academy this evening. This most expert of all magioians bos made a world wide reputation and a fine fortune by practically proving the old ndngo that "seeing is bolioving." He performs his various feats with such consummate easo and grace that even the most lynx eyed individuals are deceived. "The New Black Art," Horrmann's latest novoliy In magic, Is a grent success. During this Illusion the stage Is cavernous and gloomy ae the lufurnal rogions, and from out this darknoss Herrmann summons his familiar Uephistojpneles, and with aim come appar ently out of space all sorts of uncanny objects, animate and inanimate, weaving and whirling in the most indescribable manner.

Another new sensation that Herrmann does this season is called "Florine, the Child of the Air." In this act a young lady is lifted some feet from the stage and allowed to remain in mid air. While in this position she makes several chances of costumes, marches, dances, whirls through hoops and jumps a skipping rope, thus apparently demonstrating that she is neither held by wires from above nor rods at the sides. His "Resurrection of Crowley" is an equally marvellous sensation, and beautiful as well. "MY AUNT BBIDOET" will be given by olever people on Saturday evening. Monroe Rice are the stars of this particular comedy.

The Boston ffiofte says: Monroe Bice, on their return to Boston, were greeted with a triumphant ovation. As each member of the company appeared they were received with stamping of feet, so prolonged as to not only be annoying to the less demonstrative portion of the audience, but interrupting to the recipients themselves. The company is a much stronger one than seen here last seson, three new people being added. Business Notice. Paper Books printed, quick and oorrect, at Tns Republican office.
