The audience that saw- "Dr. Belgiaff"
at the Fiothlngham last night wus en

"Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" and with a
company' less competent than Wilton
Laekayo and ills associates would bo
posithedy dull.
Dr. Belgialf Is a scientist who Is ab
soibed In Ills opet intents so much so
that he tails to leall.e that the atmes

longings of his oiphan sister, just bud

Hngllsh village. She meets Sir Geolfiey
Langham, a titled scoundiel, Is tempt

tained a hypnotic Inlluence over Lang
ham's sister and makes her subject to
his will. Tluough her ho pioposes to
be leveiiged on the bi other. "Slater for

Sir Oeoftiey enteit. Dr Belgian's la

Just nt this moment Langham's sistei
uppeais on the scene and to save hiin

doctor hypnotizes) her and declines she

of the murder become known and her

the Plttston Gazette, w heie much acllv -Ity
Is In piogiess, making a vei liable

Introducing an until eiy new st'teni to
this vlelnltj.
Tlio luipiovements affect not only the
bieakei, hut the mines that empty their
piodilct Into the bieakei as well. They
am undeigulng a genei.il oveihaullug,
thus, In a sense, linking the entire rom
pluics llovt, Nos, 7 and ! shalts and
the Hwen bieukei Into one. The most
etenlve tiansloi matlon, however, Is at
the Hwen. Foimeily laige cits were
loaded at that mine and urn by a
iciiindnboul vvny p.nsing over a long
tie'tllng to empty the coal Into the
Intake). All this Is done away with
and 'in entlinlv new svstem intioditced.

chnngeil to a lutiovv gunge load. As
the small cuis am hoisted out of the
dllfpient mines connected with the sys
tem they w ill bP Immediately taken by
meuns ot small locomotives to the
bieaKei.
The new plan does away with the ad
ditional dumping Into the gi.ivlty cats.
When the cms aie conveved to the
bieakei fiom No. I and 7 shaft", they
pass ovri a new scale, wheie they are
weighed and dumped Into a pit located
alongside of the weigh house, then pass
ing au'Uiid a ch'cult and back to the
mines again The llojt shaft, which Is
located on the lower side of the bieak
ei, MMids its pioduet up another loute
and connects with the track lending
fiom Nos -I and 7 and passing over the
scale.
TAKnx to Tim biirai:er.
'j'he coal, when dumped into the le
cclving pit. Is conveed to the bleaker
by moans ot immense comoyois that
aie suppoited hj a huge lion tiestllug
built In the shape ot a plane. These
conveyoi, will be In continuous motion.
The entile aftalr Is located on the west
side of the bieakei, and the distance
fiom the pit to the top or tho nieakei,
wheie the coil Is to be conveyed, Is
piobiblv 00 icet This contilvanee is
new In this vicinity and foinis piob
ably the most expensive pait of the en
tile Impiovcments. This pm Hon of the
wink was finished on Satm day last.
Other impiovemenls that aie being
made in the bii-aker is the placing In
petition or new tolls or ciusheis of
laigoFand moie modem design. A new
system of disposing oLthe accumulation
of culm is nlso being constuicted. This
will be done by means of laige con
veyois. The same principle as that used
to convey the coal to the brejkei will
be emplojed only In a smaller scale.
The conveois will inn down through
the bleaker and out tliiough the
southern side of the building by means
ot a long tiestllng and deposited into
lecelvlng pockets that ate now being
elected on top of the culm pile, riom
theie, the culm will be emptied Into
cats and dumped us foimerly. All of
these mechanical aitangements will be
piopelled by the engines that tormeily
oieinled the bieaker machine y, with
the assistance of an additional engine
which will soon be placed In position.
NHW POWER PLANT.
A new boiler plant In connection with
the entlie system hns been constuicted
to furnish power to No 7 and No. 4,
Hoyt shafts, and the IJwen bieakei,
thus doing away with the boiler looms
at these shafts. The vvoik on the boiler
plant was completed about one week

of thiee chests of bollei, or twelve
