opera comedians, and his merry com
pany comes to the Frothingham to
night, and will be seen for a single per
formance In that clever comic opera,
"The Wizard of the Nile," which made
so pronounced a hit here lust season,
Opei a cannot be given without a large
company as to number. With a dram
atic company twenty-live people con
stitute whnt would be called a large
organization, but for comic opera near
ly three times that number is neces
sary. Mr. Imnlels' managers have til
ready demonstrated their belief in the
effectiveness of a most elaborate pro
duction in winning public approval,
nnd those who saw the production last
soason will admit that no money has
been spared to make this the second
season of the opera and company, as
attractive as the llrst one. The sale of
stats has been very large and the
Frothlngham promises to be crushed.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.
I). A: II. Co. Proceeds Aguiust Trac
tion Co'.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal
company, through Jessup & Jessup,
yesterday secured from Judge Archbald
a rub- compelling the Lackawanna Val
ley Traction company und the Oly
phant Suburban Ti action company to
show why an attachment for contempt
should not Issue against them for dis
obeying n n injunction restraining them
from Intel feiing with the property of
the plaintiff in Olyphant. The rule Is
made returnable Dec. 12, before Judge
Clunster.
On July 14 an injunction was grunted
prcveiitin;; tlie traction ' companies
from crossing the Delaware and Hud
son steam or gravity trucks. On JUiy
2S, ut the hearing, th'j injunction was
dissolved "only so far as the same re
strained the said defendants from
crossing nt grade the tracks of the
said plaintiff's gruvity road."
Now, it Is alleged by Martin Crip
pen, a detective of the Delaware and
Hudson company, that the defendants
are about to stretch u wire over the
Hudson and Dunmore street crossings,
ut which points they were enjoined
from interfering with the plaintiffs
property. The petition ulleges that
this wire woulrl interfere with the
telegraph wires of the plaintiff nnd en
danger the lives of its employes.
The purpos,. of the traction compa
nies is to operate their road on either
side of the crossings und transfer pas
sengers across the tracks. They claim
that unless they are permitted to run a
continuous wire they will have to build
three different power houses to supply
the three sections of the line.
