Burglar" at the Frothingham last night
Tbe play is a clever production of the pen
of Augustas Thomas, author ot "Ala
bama." The company was fairly (rood and
gave a good presentation of the piece. Miss
Anna Boyle Moore did some very effective
acting in the roll of Mrs. Lewis, and
Eugene Moore and A. Uordon-Kobinow
proved themselves olever actors. Little
Uertie Carlisle sung and danced in a way
that evoked hearty applause.
Tbe reconstructed and rewritten farce
comedy, "The Dszzler," was given ai the
Academy of Music last evening. The farce
has been greatly improved by tbe over
hauling it nas received and is now practi
cally a new piece. Joseph Ott, who in
vears past was the mainstay of the com
pany, was missed last night. His place
was niled by cnarie vvayne, a clever ec
centric comedian. He is not an Ott, bow
ever. The work nf tbe Dewitt sisters,
Robby Ralston, Will West and Florrie

edy artists.

Tired of . the Action or . Contractors In Ob
structing Sidewalks and Streets.
HE ISSUES HIS MANIFESTO
Traction Company and Steam Heat
Company Must Not Obstruct the
Street Crossings, and Contractors
at Mears Building and Hotel Jer
myn Must Leave Sidewalks Clear
and Passable.
Street Commissioner Kiret has bad
his war paint on for several days and
in consequence, the Scranton Trae'.ion
company, the Eoouomy Light, Heat
and Power company, und the Mears
and Jvrmyn building contractors have
bad trouble on their bands.
Since the corporations and indi
viduals mentioned bave been perform
ing their various excavating, track
laying and building operations, tbe
street commissioner's and mayor's de
p irtments have been 11 oded with com
(jluints and letters, asking that the
work mentioned be conducted with i
less disposition to block important
thoroughfares and sidowalks.
Many of the letters were in tone and
language more expressive than elo
quent. The street commissioner increased
his efforts to have the work done more
rxpeditionsly aud in compliance with
city ordiiianc- s, but as soon as he ha I
road the law to one violator the others
would infringe their privileges.
KEPT KIltST ON THE RUN.
Mr. Kirst was engaged going back
and forth until be became tired and in
cidentally angry, and yesterdty the fun
commenced.
An elevated or street-level plank
walk bus been ordered laid around the
Mears corner at Washington avenue
and Spruce street and the steam hoist
ing engine ordorad oS the street and
into the cellar; a steam hoisting engine
t ) be used on the Jer myn building at
Wyoming avenue and Spruce street
was likewise ordered into tbe cellar or
to disappear and a mandate issued that
the iron work be kept clear of the
alley and the streot; the Traction com
pany workmen wereinstrncted to make
street junotiotis passable or cease work,
and tbe Steam Heating company were
given notice on varions infringements
similar to those applied to tbe other
violators.
KIRST REFUSED TO UNBEND.
Mr. Mears spent considerable time
at the municipal building yesterday
afternoon endeavoring to have Mr.
Kirst modify his demands and in view
of tbe letter's inflexibility Mr. Mears
sought the intercession of Mayor Cou
ncil. Tbe mayor told Mr. Mears that he
would have to abide by tbe street
commissioner's instructions, tbat com
plaints of building and corporations'
operations are numerous aud that the
various concerns most conduct their
work more properly i:i tbe future. In
view of the firmness of the municipal
officers it is likely that ihereafter there
will be leas eauso for complant.
