Mention Is made of the terrible morn
ing lire of April 20. 1S94. when the resi
dence of Philip Schneider, on Meadow
avenue, South Side, was destroyed and
his three youngest children, 6 years, 4
years, and is months old, were cre
mated. The young ones were asleep tn
the loft when the lire broke out and
the mother was engaged ut chores In
the rear of the lot. Beforoe site could
do anything to save her helpless off
spring the building .was a mass of
flames.
That South Side Fire.
Referenoe Is also made of the burning
up of Antonio and Martin Abate at 2
a. m. on Nov. 19. In the house of their
brother, Caspar Abate, near the corner
of Stone avenue and Fig street, South
Side. The men caine Into the house
some time after midnight und went to
sleep In a small room in the rear of the
house, a story and a-half frame struc
ture. The fire broke out and after It
was extinguished the charred bodies of
the two men were found.
Before the lire the neighbors heard
shots and that created the Impression
that bhe men had been murdered and
the building fired to cover the crime.
A thorough Investigation was made,, but
nothing resulted to sustain thut theory.
The Keneral 'belief is that the men came
home drunk and were suffocated by
the smoke, as the other brother and his
family had all they could do to get out
unscathed.
The oase was forgotten until Mrs.
Kittle Baldwin In one of her alleged
hypnotic seances, at the Frothlngham,
startled her audience by giving the cor
rect date of the casualty and the two
men'H names, also saying that they
were murdered1 by being shot.
A promiscuous number of causes are
assigned, such as: Burning sulphur,
lamp explosion, falling In of oven, de
fective chimney, children playing with
matchex, hot ashes, supposed to be in
cendiary. He oflre by trumps, sponta
neouH combustion, lightning, fire crack
ers, electric light, Democratic lire
work, and kicking over a stove. The
lat-mentloned feat wns accomplished
by the much advertised Cyclone Kate.

OPERA AT LAUREL HILL.
An Ficollcnt Presentation of the
"llnhciulan Girl" Last Lvcning.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather lu-t evening the season of Hum
mer opera at Laurel Hill park opened
auspiciously. A good sized uudlence as
sembled In the Pavilion theater, and to
say that the listeners were delighted
with the excellent rendition of the "Bo
hemian Girl" given Is to express it mild
ly. The various numbers of the work
were encored throughout the entire
presentation. Miss Catlotta Gilman as
Arline made a decided hit from start.
Miss Oilman Is a beautiful woman; u
tine uctrps.', und possesses an excellent
voice us well. Her Interpretation of the
part wus urtlstic and at once established
her reputation with Scranton amuse
ment seekers.
Miss Alice Carle made an excellent
impression In the character of the
Gypsy Queen. Miss Carle possesses a
phenomenal contralto voice, which lllled
the large hall. In the principal con
tralto solo, In the second act, Miss Carle
received three recalls from the enthusi
astic audience.
Henry Scarborough, the well-known
tenor, was excellent and probably su
perior to any rendition of the part that
has been given In this city In many
years. Nat B. Canton, the San Fran
cisco comedian, gave an up-to-date rep
resentation of "Devllshoof, and the oth
er characters by Miss Marie Warren, J.
K. Adams and W. H. Allen were well
Interpreted. A pleasing feature, also,
was the dances Introduced by Mls
Maud Harrison In the first and second
acts.
The costumes were elaborate and
handsome aud the well-drilled chorus
gave ample evidence of Professor Rich
ard 'Lindsay's skill as a conductor. The
opera was given with scarcely a cut
from the original score, und was with
out doubt the finest presentation of the
"Bohemian Girl" ever given in Scran
ton at populur prices.
Manager I.alne U to be congratulated
upon securing such an excellent com
pany. The entertainment was a de
lightful surprise to the most sanguine
friends of the operatic enterprise. The
Kuccef.-t of summer opera at Laurel Hill
Is assured. The opera will be given ev-
,.y evening this week, und on Alonduy
next "Amorita" will ue presenteu.
