Was one of the motft bountiful pifts that

city and vicinity.' The Utrhtnlng which
accompanied the rain and hall severely
damaged a number of houses and
tunned or frightened their occupants.
Whtle In various parts of the city floods
caused no small amount of damage to
gardens and cellars.
" The house of Conrad Linn, on Birch

THE WIZARDJJF THE EE
Smltk aad Herbert's New Opera Is
Produced at Wilkcs-Barrc.
IT HAS ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS
Delightful Music; Harmless Fan: l.luhor
to Scenery: laHlin Costume anil
Stage Pictures Among the Features
That Charm a Largs AaJlieaeo.
A large audl.nce representing1 thf
wealth anil culture of Wilkes-Harre
gathered at the Cirand Opera house at
that city lust evening to wftnesa th-.-iultial
performance of "The Wizard of
the Nile," the new comic iera. the
Joint work of Ularry B. Smith and Vic
tor Herbert.
If the managers of the enterprise
have ever had doubts as to the ulti
mate sueevss of the work, they must
have lieen dispelled y the reception
given the opera last night. The beauti
ful picture disclosed at the rise of the
curtain on the first act was greeted
with a burst of applause, and the en
thusiasm of the audience was kept up
through the evening. From beglpnlng
to end it seems that no di'tall lias be- 'i
omitted that would assist in making
"The W'izard of the Nile" an liUnl pro
duction. Continuous fun. delightful
music, elabotiite and realistic scenery
and dazzling cudtunus are among the
features that will no doubt make this
opei-.i one of the most successful ever
produced since the days of "Kritilnie."
In the arrangement of the various de
tails of the 'book and musictil score,
Messrs. Smirh and llerliert have en
tered upon iu-w avenues, and whllj the
opera Is fraught wlrh feminine beauty,
rioh coloring and musical gems, it pos
sesses marked features of originality,
when considered as a comic opera.
Siorv of the Opera.
The story -of "The Wizard of the
Nile" narrates the adventure's of KI-
Ixish. a wandering tiecromai r. who
is making a professional tour of Kgypt.
The scene is. laid in that country dur
ing the youth of Cleopntra. It appears
that Ptolemy, king of Kgypt. has In
vested the royal surplus In desert lands
In and adjacent to Kgypt. Ilexhas been
ltd to do so by Cheops, a weather
prophet, who has predicted that the
next annual overflow of the Nile will
be of such unusual magnitude as to
fertilize the desert. Cheops' prophecies
Invariably go by contraries, and In this
case Instead of an unusual overflow of
the Nile, there Is none at all, und H
drouth results. As a penalty for his
unlucky prophecy Cheops is to be be
headed atnlil (he rtjolritia- of a thirsty
populace. In the midst of the festiv
ities attending the execution, it Is an
nounced that the barge of Cleopatra
Is approaching. Tile barge appears,
but Instead of Cleopatra, It contains
the tramp magician Kibosh, who has
appropriated the barge while Cleopatra
and her maids left It for the purpose of
gathering lotos-lilies. Kibosh and his
factorum, Abydos. are sentenced to
prompt decapitation for stealing Cleo
patra's provttte yacht.
Just as the axe is about to fall upon
Kibosh's neck, .he says, regretfully,
that with him perishes the great se
cret for causing the Nile to overflow.
Ptolemy stops the execution Just In
time, and begs Kibosh to try his magic
tipon the sacred river. If he succeeds
in effecting the inundation Kibosh Is
to be loaded with honors, and Is to
marry the Princess Cleopatra, who Is
at present a young girl, who has never
heard of lovo.
Kihosh Is Introduced.
Cleopatra and Iter maids enter twin
ing garlands of lotus blossoms, and
Kibosh Is Introduced to 'the princess
as a possible husband. A king's (laugh
ter can be made love to only In the
presence of witnesses, and Kibosh Is
placed In an embarasslng position: ho
must make love to a girl who never
heard of love, and that. too. In the
presence of the entire court. After this
trying ordeal, Kibosh is requested to
make good his assertion that he could
cause the overflow of the Nile. As he
Is an absoluite charlatan, he tries to
postpone the affair, but Is forced to the
proof of Ws powers. Accordingly he
goes through a scene of Incantation,
exhorting the Nile to rise, but feeling
all the while that his efforts nre hope
less, and his doom certain. To his as
tonishment, however, his hocas-pocus
Is followed by signs of approaching In
undation. It Is mere coincidence, but
Kibosh takes all the credit to himself
and demands the hand of Cleopatra.
The act ends as Kibosh and the
princess are borne In triumph to the
royal palace, amid general r Joinings.
Incidental to the mnln story Is sub
plots concerning the love of Ptarmigan.
Cleopatra's music teacher, for his royal
pupil. She makes a compromise be
tween her curiosity and her dignity and
allows ihim to love her on the even
days of the month, while on the -odd
days he must keep his place as singing
teacher. Further complications result
from the fact that Abydos, Kibosh's
Oreek servant, also fails in love with
trie irpwlstlble 'Cleopatra.
Troubles of kibosh.
In the second ant It appears that In
stead of a decer.it overflow, the Nile has
so flooded the country that the popula
tion tia taken to Hvlng on the roofs.
The scene Is the roof of the royal palace
and 'Ptolemy and his court are suffer
ing from colds, as the result of the
flnd. Instead of marrying Kibosh to
Cleriatra, he is to be executed for over
doing the Nile rising, but he cannot
be found. Finally he appears, In a
small boat and takes refuge In the top
of a palm tree near the palace roof.
Here he Is captured and Ingenious tor
tures are devised for him. He Is re
leased, however, when he discloses the
plan of Cleirpatra to elope with her
music teacher.
The announcement Is ithen made that
the unusual flood has fertilized the
desert lands 'bought by the king. The
royal land speculation is a success,
and Kibosh demands Cleopatra's hand
as his reward. Kibosh Is loaded with
uncomfortable honors. Alydos, furi
ously Jealous, causes an explosion
among Kibosh's magic paraphernalia,
the queen's apartment are wrecked
and Kibosh, charged with this mis
chief, is stripped of his honors and
sentenced ?o 'be walled up alive In a
pyramid. Ptarmigan, for planning the
elopement. Is doomed to be one of the
slaves to wall him up.
Interior of s Pvrnmld.
In act third the Interior of a pyramid
Is sbown; the stonecutters are prepar
ing to Imprison Kibosh. Ptarmigan Is
one of these shaves, Cleopatra comes
to tell him that at last she knows
whiat 'love Is. He Is overjoyed, thinking
that he Is the object of this newly dis
covered passion; but the princess pro
duces a medallion of Mam Antony.
She has fallen In love with the picture
and feels that thds Mr. Antony, though
at present a stranger, Is her affinity.
A duet follows. In which Cleopatra
comiparesthe portrait with Ptarmigan
to the letter's disadvantage. Abydos
and the royal page appear and take
the placer of mummies In t'he pyramid.
It Is their Intention to effect the release
of Kibosh after frightening him,
kibosh enter wilt.h IPtolemy, who
comes to gloat over his captive.
Ptolemy remains too long, and when
he attempts to depart, finds that the
entrance Is sealed. The king Is walled
up with his victim. A humorous scene
follows, in which the pages terrify the
two prisoners, and an echo song In this
situations In one of the best numbers
In the opera. As Kibosh and Ptolemy
are In the lowest depths of despair, the
stonecutters are heard at work with
out. The king's absence has been
noted and the courtiers have returned
to And him. After having learned how
unpleasant It is to be walled up in a
pyramid, Ptolemy pardons Kibosh,
who, with Aibydos, resumes his profes
sional tour. Cleopatra declares that
she will goto Rome to find the original
of the miniature (Marc Anthony, but
meanwhile Ptarmigan may teach her
love songs on the even days of thfe
mouth.
Itainlcls Scores Another Hit.
As Kibosh." tihe wandering magls
ian. the Irresistibly funny Frank Dan
iels, was funnier than ever. The char
acter had been arranged with the view
of allowing the iipular comedian full
scoe In the display of his particular
talents, and the constant laughter that
gre ted his efforts gave evidence that
he did not fall to make the best of
every opportunity.
Miss 1-enore Snyder gave an Imper
sonation of "Cleopatra." Which teemed
with Innocence out of the lines of the
average Ideal Egyptian princess of
drama and ancient and modern song.
Her creation of the role, however, cap
tivated the audience, and she was
obliged to resiMind to frequent encores
during the evening.
Mary Palmer, the contralto, who has
been heard by Scrantoti and Wllkes
I'.urre thea'ter-gners in "Rubin Hood."

her husband, continued on trial all of
ytatenlay before Judge Kdwards. and
a Jury In the main court room. C. M.
Strecter, of Dalton. was the first wit
ness called yesterday morning. He

cording to the Carlisle tables. Miss
Annie Walsh saw the accident and was
sure the gates were raised at the time,
Mrs. Loughney and Mrs. John Itlglln
testified that they -were eye witnesses
of the accident. The whistle of the
engine was not sounded until it was
close to the crossing. After Roberts
had been struck they went out on tho

the wanton of Ashman Johnson was
not then to be seen anywhere In the
vicinity.

Dr. Lowry was undergoing a searching

The greater part of the time of Judge
Ounster and a Jury was consumed in
court room 'No. 3 with the trial of the
su'it of Max Kemmer. of North Lin
coln avenue, against the city of Scran
ton. Mr. Kemmer 'is the owner of a
lot of land on North Lincoln avenue,
which he jays was greatly damaged by
the change of the grade of that ave
nue. This change of grade was au
thorized by an ordinance passed by the
city councils which raised the avenue
seven feet in front of iMr. Kemmer's
property.
Viewers appointed to assess the bene
fits and damages, awarded 'Mr. Kem
mer $."110, but from this award the city
t'Mk an apptal. It contends that IMr.
Kemmer was In nowise Injured by tho
change of grade, for Che (Increase In the
market value of the property was suf
ficiently higher after the grading to
more than pay the expenses Incurred
in tilling in the lot to the level of the
street and in raising the house. Attor
ney Charles K. Olver appeared for Mr.
Kemmer and City Solicitor Torrey for
the defendant. A't 2 o'clock Judge
Uunster completed his charge to the
Jury, and it retired to make up its
verdict. It had not agreed up to the

Difference of Opinion.
Immediately after ithe Kemmer case
went to the Jury the case of Patrick
Collins aga'itrst the Olyphant school dis
trict was called for trial. Mr. Collins
is represented by Attorney W. W. Wat
son and t'he school district by Attor
neys I. H. Burns and T. V. I'owderly.
Mr. Collins Is a contractor and bulld.T
at OJyphant and was employed by the
school district to put the Smead-Wllls
tu-atlng and ventllafing system in one
of the Olyphant public schools.
Mr. Collins claims $4fi6.0il. which he
says he is entitled to. but which the
officers of the school district refused to
allow him. On t'heir part they allege
that Mr. Covins' contract with the dis
trict was $1,970, and of this he has re
ceived all but fM. The amount Mr.
Colllnis claims, tlhey allege, is for over
work and olvarges for laying brick work
which they dispute his right to receive
pay for, aylng that he was to be paid
a glvim price for every thousand brick
laid. Mr. Collins claims that he should
be paid by measurement. The trial of
the case Willi be resumed this morning.
The action to recover damages for
alleged trespass. In which J. 8. Hach
man was plaintiff and John Spiegel de
fendant, was on trial liefore Judge Mor
rison until 3 o'clock In the afternoon,

Judge In favor of the defendant. The
parties to the action reside at tloulds
Ixiro, and the plaintiff sued to recover

The determination of the suit rested
upon the title of the plaintiff to the land
on which the fence was located and as
he was not nlble to establish that to
the court a verdict was directed for the
defendant. Attorneys J. S. Harding,
