It is a melodrama but it is said to tell a concise and powerful story with a due regard to sequence so often missed by melodramatic writers. The play abounds in strong situations, the dialogue is clever and there is plenty of comedy. The production is a handsome one and the star's supporting company exceedingly well balanced. Mr. Santley is to present "Billy the. Kid" at the Lyric this 1'iiday evening, Dec. 11. In view of the fact that the beaver colony on Crooked Creek, this county, is attracting so much attention of late, the following item, illustrating the habits and intelligence of that rare creature, may prove interesting. It comes from Kennebec, Maine : "A peculiar'faet was discovered at the reservoir at Saddleback Pond re cently, at Uangeley, when beavers' work in da'ni construction was found to Inter fere with the water supply from Saddle back stream. These busy engineers had constructed a tight dam, which had re- I tamed considerable of the supply of the mountain reservoir, nnd workmen each dav tore out their work, onlv to tltwl ff ml milt nM tluiii iwvr viair tUimrl ip,! tn.u ociima w hauled in and placed in the dam by the beavers.

Miss Helen Elizabeth Boies, daugh- - - Belden, in the Second Presbyterian church of that city, on Tuesday evening last. The wedding was the most notable social event of the Electric City for years, eighteen hundred invitationshavingbeen sent out, and the bride hnving been a prominent society favorite since her debut the attendance included guests from many cities. The groom is secretary-treasurer of the Spencer Heating Company of Scranton, of which" he bride's brother is president. The bridal party comprised, besides the contracting parlies and Ethel Boies, maid of honor, and Meade Belden, of Syracuse, best man, eight bridesmaids nnd eight ushers. The ceremony was performed bv Hev. J. II. Twichell, of Hartford, Conn., as I sisted by Rev. Joseph II. Odcll, of the i Second Presbyterian church, Scranton. Mrs. Joseph A. Bodie and Mrs. Win. H. Ham, of this place, are cousins of the bride's mother, who is a daughter of Mrs. Thomas Dickson. our restaurant keepers will buv it of him at a good round price as a tempting bit 1 for their tables when made into turtle I soup. As a rule they make a great mis' take, as the exceptions are rare when the reptile can find a market at any price in our hotels or saloons; but it seems that the ungainly creatures are "ot without value, even if they do not tempt the ordinary palate. In a bulletin issued by the State division of Zoology, Prof. Surface warns farmers that they 8'iould not only not destroy turtles, which remove incalculable menaces in the shape nf carrion and noxious and annoying insects, but should cultivate and protect them, as well as many harmless snakes, whose mission, if entirely understood, would be found to be beneficial. Sum ming up his warnings, Professor Surface regrets that tho wanton destruction of birds, harmless reptiles and turtles causes great loss to the crop) of the State each year.

Tho silver wedding was appropriately celebrated at the family residence in the latter village, the happy couple being presented by the Friday Night Club with a solid silver sugar and cream set as a souvenir of the occasion. The "Gale" House Burned. A fire which broke out in "The Gale" boarding house, corner of Seventh and Court streets, early yesterday morning, practically destroyed the large and val uable building, together with a large share of its contents. Tho house itself was the property of Martin Galvin, pro prietor of the livery establishment direct ly opposite, and the furniture and other contents belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Wood, his tenants. "The Gale" was erected in 1853, as the resi dence of Dr. Dwight Reed, and was first jointly occupied by himself and brother Egbert G. Reed, and two years later by tho family of the latter alone. The prop erty was finally purchased by the late John E. Gale, E. G. Reed's son-in-law, 'and not. long since sold bv Mr.. Gale to Martin Galvin. After Mr. Reed's re moval to Binghaniton to live with Mr. Gale, the property was occupied as a boarding establishment by Captain and Mrs. C. E. Baker, and nfter their re moval to Waymart, it has been rented to Mr. and Mrs. Wood for the same purpose. The fire was first noticed about two o'clock by a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wood, who ran down the back stair way and gave an alarm which aroused George Tauebner, one of the boarders. He rushed up to the hallway of the second story back, and found smoke and Haines pouring out of the half open transom of a bath room. After awaken ing the occupants of ndjoining apart ments he hastened to the phone and turned in a fire alarm, to which one steamer of Protection Co. No. 3, the Alert Hook and Ladder Co., of East Honesdale, and the Chemical Engine Co. of Texas No. 4, promptly respond ed. Protection company first located their engine on the retaining wall at the foot of 7th street, but, finding the water in the Lackawaxen too low at that point, changed to a point above the dam at the foot of Eighth street, whence two lines of hose were run to the burn ing building. Meanwhile two lines of hose were laid by other members of the company from a Main street hydrant, and the other companies had arrived, but despite the most strenuous efforts of the firemen, the flames made such headway as to practically gut the en tire interior of the building, destroy the roofs of the main structure and the rear annex, and ruin most of the furniture and other property. How, the fire originated is a mystery. A gas jet was always kept lighted in the bath room, and there was a waste paper basket directly under it, but how a blaze could have been communicated from one to the other is beyond explana tion. The partitions were burning fierce ly when the door was first opened, and the fire spread so rapidly that it was with difficulty some of the inmates of the house escaped in their night clothes. Mr. Stuckcy, one of the Allen House barbers, who occupied a room directly opposite the bath room, got out of his window onto a porch and fell to the stone steps about twelve feet below, al most miraculously escaping serious in jury. The night was very cold, but for' tunately without wind, or it might have been difficult to save neighboring build ings. All of the horses, carriages and other property were removed from the livery stables of Joseph Jacobs, the near est building on the 7th street side. When tho "Gale." was originally built half a century and more ago, it was re garded as one of the finest residences in llonesdale. It was afterwards much enlarged and improved by E. G. Reed and Mr. Gale, and was thoroughly ren ovated after it passed into the posses sion of Mr. Galvin, who will be a heavy loser, notwithstanding the fact that he holds $3,000 insurance in the agency of J. Ben. Robinson. Mr. and Mrs. Wood estimate their loss at $2000, on which they have an in surance of $1,000 in Daniel Bingham's llawley agency. For the present such household goods as were saved are be ing removed to the tenement building of II. Z. Russell, corner of Court and Eighth streets. The Gale was a well kept and well patronized hostelry, and was the main stopping place of theatri cal troupes and other show people. The fire is particularly unfortunate for Mr. and Mrs. Wood, happening as it has, in the height of the "Lyric" season.
