GRAND OPERA AT
THE FR0THINGHAM
Good Company Swf Lacy of Lsramer
UitNljhi.
IT WAS AN AGREEABLE SURPRISE
Principal Ae All Finished Artist
and the ChoroiofTnirty. five Voice
is One of the Best Heard in Scran
ton Tor Some TimeEntcrtnin
meat by Vaudeville Company at
Academy of .Haste.
An agreeable surprise was sprung on
the city's music-lover and theater-goers
last night by the International
Grand Opera company, which sang
"Lucy of Lammermoor" in the Froth
Ingham theater. Scranton has been
so often fooled by so-called grand opera
that last night's production proved a
sort of agreeable disappointment to the
small, but select, and much pleased
audience. It Is probable that this af
ternoon's "The Bohemian Girl" and to-
7V
MTRTHA FRENCH.
night's "The Troubadour" (11 Trnva
tore) will be generously attended; cer
tainly the merit of the company de
serves and will probably get a patron
age better than that of last nlsht.
The cast of "Lucy of Lammermoor"
Included but seven principals, each a
pleasing artiste vocally and histor
ically. This Is especially true of
Myrtha French as Lucv Ashton, and
Warwick Unynor ns Henry Ashton.
Miss French displayed a soprano voice
of such pronounced purity of tone that
it may bo honestly described ns being
a degree above extraordinary. She, too,
is an actress of no little proficiency.
Mr. Gaynor's baritone was of peculiar
richness and fully merited the frequent
applause bestowed upon it. He showed
himself well schooled in technique. Tin
other principals were Thomas Evann
Greene as Edgar of Havcnswood. Eth
an Allen as Hide the Bent, Kudolf Hu
dolfl as Arthur, W. A. Warring us
Norman and Fanny Gonzales us Alice.
An orchestra of ten pieces, under the
direction of Emerico Minn-ale, is at
tached to the company. The chorus
embraces about thirty-live voices, not
people, the thlrty-tlve evidently hav
ing been selected for their vocal rath
er than physical proficiency. The
chorus deserves a big share of the fa
vorable criticism due the whole.
In "The Bohemian Girl" Catherine
Eland will sine the role of Arllne and
tonight Ma l ie Senta will be heard ns
Leonora. Miss French will not appear
in cither cast.
GOOD VAUDEVILLE SHOW.
The Clara Wieland Vaudeville com
pany entertained a larte uudience at
the Acudetny of Music lust night. The
most striking features of the perform
ance were the characterizations of
Clara Wieland and the "Kolosthenos"
studies of Zaeo, "Europe's greatest sen
sation." Miss Wieland Is a very versa
tile young woman, and her efforts last
night were received with great favor.
Zueo's studies were beautified with
electrical effects. They were "Aurora,
Kays of Northern Light," "Grammar
of Arnament," "Metomorphosis, birth,
life and transition of the butterlly,"
"Angelic Visions, Morning Glory, De
veloping Floral Wreath," the "Crys-Doe-You
Farfolla." No prettier effects
were ever seen In this city than were
Introduced by Zaeo.
Other very entertaining features of
the performance were the ucrobatlc
work of the Davenport Brothers, mim
icry of Pltrot, songs and acrobatic
dancing of Misses Dane and Hahn nnd
sllght-of-hand performance of Horace
Goldln. The performance will be re
peated this afternoon and evening.
ECHO OP PHILADELPHIA FAILURE.
Executions Filed ' Here Yesterday
Against Rosa Orrson.
Gerson's millinery store at 413 Lacka
wanna avenue, was closed by the sher
iff yesterday afternoon on two execu
tions amounting to $5,995.25. There is
a possibility however that there will
be no sale and that the store will be
opened within a few days as there Is
an apparent irregularity in the clos
ing. The executions are both issued
against Kosa Gerson, one judgment for
12,000 being held by Myer Gerson, and
the other for $3,995.25 being held by S.
Abeles & Co., of Philadelphia. Rosa
Gerson Is the owner of thp Philadel
phia store which failed Wednesday.
The Scranton branch Is owned by her
husband. Isaac Gerson. The Scranton
store it is claimed cannot be attached
for the debts of the Philadelphia house,
and consequently. It Is asserted, the
executions will not stand.
The closing of the Scranton store In
entirely due to the failure of the main
store In Philadelphia, the local manag
er stated yesterday. The local concern
has been doing a big business and its
affairs are In excellent shape. Julius
Traugatt. the Scranton manager, went
to Philadelphia at noon yesterday and
it is expected that on his return todny
or Monday everything will be righted.
When Deputy Sheriff T. J. Price
closed the store yesterday there was a
great surprise among the employes.
They were told however not to worry
over their positions as they would ail
be summoned to come back to their
places In a few days.
The failure of the Philadelphia house
Is attributed to a disastrous fire last
spring and the miserable fall trade.
Last night the following enme by
Vnlted Press concerning the Philadel
phia failure:
Philadelphia. Nov. 2n. Mrs. Rosa Or
son, who conducts a big general store at
Forty-eighth street, assigned today. Mrs.
erson confessed Judgments to the
amount of $89,044. The full extent of the
liabilities or the value of assets is not
known. It was said today that every one
would be paid in full, as the assets were
In excess of She liabilities. The failure
was caused by the general depression in
business during the last few months, ,wl
was owing directly to the action of sev
eral New York llrms in forcing settle
ments. AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Rendered by Judge Edwards at
WilkeHnrrc in Rockafcllow Case.
Judge Edwards, presiding specially
nt Wllkes-Barre, yesterday handed
down an Important decision in the case
of ex-Banker F. V. Kockafelluw. who
has Just served two year In the east
ern penitentiary for embezzlement.
I'pon his release several of the remain
ing depositors had him arrested on the
sama charge. When the case came to
trial, John T. Lenahan, attorney for
the defense, moved to quash the Indict
ments on the ground that as he had al
ready been tried nnd convicted for this
offense he could, not be convicted in
jeopardy the second time. Judge Ed
wards decided In favor of Mr. Lena
han'B contention and ordered the bank
er to be released. '
If this decision stands. Rockafellow
cannot be prosecuted by any of the re
maining depositors of whom It is al
leged he received deposits after he
knew he was Insolvent. The case will
be taken to the Superior court.
STOLE AN ALDERMAN'S COAT.
Furniture Store or Alderman Slorr
Entered by Kneuk Thieves.
Three thieves went Into the furni
ture store of Alderman Christian Storr
on Cedar avenue yesterday afternoon
and made away with the alderman's
new overcoat and the clock. One of
them nut the clock under his coat and
another carried the coat under his arm.
There happened to be no one In the
store at the time.
When they got out on the street,
a man who saw them going in and
from their looks did not think they
were up to any good purpose, followed
them and succeeded In getting the coat
away from the thief who had It. They
ran as fust as they could toward the
Orchard grounds, where they were cap
tured by Patrolmen Schmidt and Neuls,
with the clock still In their posses
sion.' '
They are now In the South Side po
lice station and will be given a hear
ing this morning by Alderman Dono
vun. They refused to give their names.
THE CONSOLIDATED LOAN
City Treasurer C. G. Boland Notifies the
Eond.Holders That Interest Will
Cease oo December I.
City Treasurer C. G. Boland yester
day sunt out letters to the holders of
the $100,000 worth of bonds which fall
due on Doc. 1, notifying tnem that in
terest ceases on that, date and advis
ing them to forward them to his office
for redemption.
The bonds bear C per cent, and were
issued In 3870 under the title of "the
consolidated loan," which name was
given the Issue by reason of the fact
that It wan made to clear up an aggre
gation of debts, some of the debt be
ing bonds previously Issued, some of It
being to take up the floating debt, and
some of it to provide for expenditures
that had been made for Improvements.
The loan was Moated In rhlladelphla
through the Instrumentality of Georgo
Sandeison, sr., who was then chair
man of the city commlsslgners, a body
holding about the same relative posi
tion In municipal government as Is oc
cupied now by select council, over
which George Sanderson, Jr., son of the
senior George, now presides. It proved
to be a very expensive loan to the city,
the simple Interest Itself nmountlng to
$20,000, more than the principal, and
the loan nil In all will on Dec. 1 mean
an expenditure of $250,000.
During the past decade the sinking
fund commissioners have kept the re
demption of this big loan constantly in
sight, and as a consequence the issue
will be taken up, without the necessity
of borrowing money or of even selling
the two lots of city bonds of other Is
sues which the commission bought for
the benefit of the fund. .It means the
blotting out of nn nnnual debt of $0,000.
The fund hnd about $S2.oilO in cash to
its credit nt the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year.
To make up the $100,000 before Deo. 1
It was necessary that enough of the
189fi taxes should be collected to realize
$18,000 on a three-mill percentage,
three mills being the amount set aside
for the sinking fund out of the general
levy of thirteen and six-tenth mills.
This balance has already been real
ized and there Is a snug sum to spare.
By the time nil the taxes are in there
will be a good sized nucleus for anoth
er sinking fund. Next Wednesday Is
the last day on which taxes will be re
ceived without penalty.

SCRANTON MEN
BRANCHING OUT
Have Large Interesli in Valuable Coal
Properties la New Mexico.
GOOD MARKET CLOSE AT HAND
It is Bituminous Coal of a Character
Suitable for ' Coking - 1'nited
States Geological Survey Has l)em
onsttnted That It is the Only Avail
able Coal Property in That Region.
Those Interested in the Enterprise.
Scranton business men nre well
known for their enterprise, but few of
them as yet have become Interested In
anything so far from home as New
Mexico. For two years past, develop
ment work has been going on at . .ilte
Oaks, New Mexico, by means of dia
mond drills and outcrop provings und
the entire coal basin, comprising sever
al thousand acres has been secured.
The work was first begun under Charles
B. Eddy, of the town of Eddy. New
Mexico, who discovered the coal basin
and made his Investigations with the
assistance and advice of a number of
prominent business men of Scranton,
among them C. D. Simpson. William
Connell, Governor Watrcs and W. T.
Smith.
From those engaged In the develop
ment work It Is learned that the coal
veins nre from rive to seven feet thick,
of a good quality of bituminous coal,
suitable for coking.
A condition that will be appreciated
is the advuntage of a market with no
competitor within four hundred miles.
At El Paso, Tex., the main smelting
point in thnt section, the lead and sil
ver smelters use a large quantity of
coke, as also at the reducing works in
Mexico and Arizona.
lilchard C. Hills, a well known geolo
gist of Denver. Col., has directed the
prospecting and proving of the field,
aided by the advice of J. C. Osgood,
president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, who Is also one of the heavi
est stockholders In the enterprise.
Some years ago the United States
geological survey had a corps of men
In this Held nnd outlined its limits,
proving also that no other coal lands
will be found within many miles owing
to great disturbances In the geological
strata.
It Is estimnted that the coal will be
Bold at a profit of at least $1X0 per ton.
so the enterprise Is likely to prove ex
tremely prolltable. besides being the
nearest approach to a natural monop
oly of any coal region In the United
States. ,
MEETING OF THE POOR BOARD.
.Mrs. Thorpe and Children to Uc Scut
Hack to Euglnnd.
A short meeting of the poor board
was held yesterday nt which a number

two child In whose ages are 9 and G.
During the examination Mrs. Bragg

A month after she was deserted she

rected to secure an order of removal
and have Mrs. Bragg nnd her children
returned to Edwardsdnle, as they are
chnrges on that poor district.
Dr. Paine called the attention of the
board to the case of Mrs. Thorpe and
her rive children of the West Side, who
applied to him for aid. Five months

household effects and came to this
country with her children. The fam

brought before the board and It was
decided to have the secretary make ar
rangements to have him treated at the
Wills eye hospital In Philadelphia.
Mrs Kate Grieves, whose husband Is

A COZY HOME.
Home can't be too cozy. Money
spent for home coziness is money
wellinvested. Nothing adds more
to a room than draperies. Doors
are necessary things, but they are
not pretty unless they are hung
with soft, graceful draperies. We
have some specially pretty effects
iust now in varied colors and de
signs. The prices are very low, in
deed, and we think the goods are ex
cellent values. Come and see what
you think.
