**"" _ __ p" Tj y VOL. VIII. NO. 09, THE NEW OPERA HOUSE DESCRIPTION OF THE STRUCTURE OPENED YESTERDAY. L Frceland Now If an a Place of Amuse ment Tliat IH a Credit to the Town. Convention Held There Yenterday and an Kntertainment I.ast Evening. Froeland's new opera house, which is being built by St. Ann's Young Men's C. T. A. B. Corps, and which was infor mally opened to the public yesterday, is now almost complete. Only a few more weeks' work will be required to put it in finished condition, and when this is ac complished it will be no exaggeration to say that Frceland will be in possession of a thoroughly up-to-date amusement place, and one that will fully meet the requirements of the town for many years. The building is the third largest in town and is advantageously located at Luzerne and Bidgo streets, one block above the railroad station and one block away from the principal business thorough fare. Its solid dimensions and exterior compactness commands the attention of all passers-by. The ground upon which the building stands was secured a few years ago by Ann's Pioneer Corps. This society took the lirst move for the erection of the building, and selected W. F. Wise, of Tyrone, Pa., an experienced archi tect to draw the plans. After this much was done the matter laid dormant for some time, until the Pioneer Corps was consolidated with the Young Men's T. A. B. Society. The latter organization, being financially stronger than tin; first mentioned, accepted the plans of the building with a few alterations, and backed by the combined strength of the two societies, the structure was begun. Competition was lively among contrac tors for the work of construction, but Knelly & Frederick, of Hazleton, were awarded the job. This firm began opera tions in the early part of October, 1895. Patrick Median, of Frceland, construct • ed the foundation, and the remainder of the work was done by the contractors. The building has a frontage of fifty feet on Ridge street and extends ninety feet along Luzerne street. It is forty three feet high. The first floor is (k 1 voted entirely to the opera house, and constitutes the handsomest and cosiest part of the building. Three large doors lead from Kidge street to a capacious lobby in the front and two entrances admit from thence to the body of tiie house. The box office is located directly in front of tho centre door, and access is gained to tho balcony by large stairways on either side. The floor of tho houso is inclined, and will .seat 304 persons. It is fitted up with comfortable chairs of modern design, and nothing interferes with the view of the stage. Tho sides and ceiling are frescoed in brilliant designs and bright colors, which harmonize well with the varnish of the chairs and wood '* work, giving the interior a rich appear ance. Thcro are numerous exits on both sides, to be used in case of fire or •other trouble, and an audience can vacate the building in a few moments. The balcony, like the lower floor, is also commodius and admirably arranged. ► will have a seating capacity of about 350. The stage comprises the most salient feature of the house and is calculated to moot all requirements. The entire rear of the building, to a depth of twenty fchrec feet, is devoted to this, and is fur nished witli all modern appliances for handling scenery. The proscenium is 20 feot wide and 22 feet high. Under the stage are several dressing rooms. The scenery is beautiful and varied. It was painted by Carl Berger, of Phila delphia, a German artist of note. There are several drop curtains, representing mountain, garden, landscape and street scenes, and slides to make parlor, kitch en, chamber and other settings, with wings to match. Tho main curtain is executed in light colors and is taken from a scene in Venice in tho time of Louis XIV. All of the painting is in dicative of a master hand and will no doubt meet the approval of play-goers. The various scenes were mounted and strung by Adam Estrielior, an experi enced stage carpenter of Tyrono. The top story of tho building is divid > ed\iuto two large rooms, one of which will be fitted up suitably for society meetings. The other will be used ex clusively by the Young Men's Corps and will contain a library, pool room and other features. When occasion requlros the opera house can be converted into a ball-room, by placing the portable floor in position. This will extend from a short distance Inside the auditorium doors to the rear of the stage, and will give a large area of space for dancing purposes. The building is lighted throughout with electricity, the extensive wiring 'having been done by (5. A. Kiley, of Ha zleton. It is claimed by electricians to be as fine a piece of mechanism in that line as can be seen outside the large cities. On tho stage there is a slate slab upon which are mounted all tho switches and cutouts necessary to control the in candescent lights in the different parts of the house. There are also three of Ah* most improved pattern electrical dimmers, for the purpose of raising and lowering the lights. The fixtures are all polished brass of very pretty designs. Tho work lias boon examined by Albert Braddell, of Philadelphia, electrical in spector for the Underwriters' Associa tion, who pronounced it perfect in every respect. William Williamson, of Freeland, placed the heating fixtures in posi tion, and every part of the structure will receive steam heat. Every precaution has been taken to guard against lire, and a plentiful supply of hose, etc., is at hand to combat flames, if such should at any time break out. Tho building, when completed, will cost in the neighborhood of 914,000. It will be formally opened on May 19 next, when tho convention of tho Catholic Total Abstinence Union of the Scran ton dioceso will be held in it. Georgo Mc- Laughlin, of Freeland, has boon ap pointed manager of the house, and will open it for theatrical purposes next season. Ouarlerly Temperance Convention. The quarterly convention of the C. T. A. societies of the fourth district was held at the now opera house yesterday afternoon. As this occasion marked the informal opening of the building the attendance was quite large, and every society in the district was represented. Jas. F. Sweeney, of Freeland, as chair man, opened the convention with prayer. T. A. Kelly, of Audenried. the district secretary, received the creden tials of the delegates, and the business of tho day was then taken up. One of the questions given by tho last convention to the societies for discussion was the advisability of forming a new union, to consist of the societies in the lower end of the Seranton diocesan union and some from the Philadelphia nrchdioccsan union. 'The answers of tho societies were as follows: In favor of new union Ilazle ton society and cadets, Beaver Brook societies. Audenried societies,'including the ladies' society. Harlelgh thought it not advisable at present, Freeland was satisfied with the present union, and Garwood, Eckley and Jeanesville took no action. Tho best way to promote the temper ance cause and the organization of ladies' societies were two questions thai were entertainingly discussed and many points wore made by delegates In giving their views on these subjects. The debate on one of tho most intri cate questions connected with temper ance was next taken up. It was: "Re solved, that moral suasion has done more to advance the temperance cause than legal suasion." The affirmative sidi ng tho subject was handled by J. .1. Mc- Menamin, of Freeland, and tho nega tive by William O'Donnell, of Auden ried. Both gentlemen presented their sides of the argument with strong proof. An address was made on temperance matters in genera) by J. F. Sweeney, and he was followed by James F. Judge, of Seranton, who advocated tiie spread ing of the anti-trcating league. The habit of treating he strongly condemned and claimed if this could be broken up the cause of temperance would stride forward more rapidly. Audenried was selected as the place for holding the next district meeting. The convention then closed with prayer. The delegates were tendered a supper in tho building by the Young Men's Corps. The Opening Kntertalninent. The opening entertainment at the Young Men's opera house last evening gathered an audience that filled every seat in the building and made standing room a scarce article in some quarters. Over 800 admissions were registered at the doors, many of the peoplo being from llazleton, White Haven and the South Side, who attended to show their appre ciation of tho efforts of the society iu successfully overcoming the many diffi culties that the members encountered since the project was begun. James F. Sweeney, tho president of the corps, opened tho evening's programme with a brief address of welcome, in which lie called attention to the temperance move ment and made an eloquent plea to tin parents of this community to give over to the Young Men's Corps the care of their boys, promising that the society would guide them right and have them grow up with the spirit of true manhood instilled in thom. Mr. Sweeney's remarks were well re ceived, and ho was followed by the la dies and gentlemen on the progamme, as announced last week, with a very few exceptions. In addition to those whose names have been published, Geo. Slattery.of llazleton. and Thomas Doug herty, of Audenried, took part. Funeral HeneHt Association. The Funeral Benefit Association of the Junior Order United American Me chanics held Its fourteenth annual meet ing at Baltimore last week. During its existence It has paid out to councils, on the death of members, 9719,709.77. It has been the means of greatly assisting councils in their growth, besides giving much comfort to the friends of deceased members. A. W.

Overall Factory Appear# to He on It# Way to Town. The proposition to locate an overall and jumper factory here, which was made to the Hoard of Trade some time ago, has been investigated by the com mittee to which it was referred, and the members report that it is an industry which the citizens should bring here. The factory would employ at least 125 hands. It will require $25,000 to put the plant in operation, of this amount the company will invest $30,000 and ask the people of town to accept bonds for the balance, 95,000. The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. .1. C. Herner, who is a member of the committee, is accepting subscrip tions for the bonds, and of the amount required 93,075 have been subscribed. Those desiring to invest will have to at tend to the matter immediately, as the *'iitire lot will be taken before a few more days. The rapidity with which money has been*subscribed for the bonds of the proposed silk mill and theovorall factory is sufficient evidence that any bona lide industry will bo welcomed by the people of Frecland. There is yet some stock in the new brewery for sale, and this, it is said,, will not In; long on the market until it is all taken. These threo industries, all of which are expected to be in operation before the end of next summer, will give the town a start which should keep it moving onward ami upward, and every encourgemcnt possible should be given the Hoard of Trade to continue iu the excellent work now under way. Tlneu Hungarians Injured. Three Hungarians employed at No. 5 colliery, Pink Ash, were injured on Sat urday by an explosion of dunlin caps. The men were engaged unloading rock and dirt from cars outside, which owing to standing under the weather the night previous had become frozen into a solid lump. While picking it loose the caps were exploded. Two explosions oc curred. In the first, one man was seriously injured, having berth eyes blown out. In the second, which oc curred a few hours afterward, two men were badly hurt about the head and body. The cause of the accident is attributed to the carelessness witli which thedualin is handled iu the rock tunnel that is being driven in the colliery. When a charge is made up, several caps are thrown amongst the loose rock on tin? bottom, with the expectation that they will explode when the blast goes off. Oftentimes they fail and are thus left lying around amongst the rock. When this is loaded in the cars and must be re moved by force outside, there is great danger in tho caps exploding, as was proved by Saturday's accident. Fitzsiinmons Won Hie Fight. The same blow by which Fitzsiinmons three years ago knocked out Jim Hall at Now Orleans won for him on Friday the title of Champion of the World. A light ning right-hand hook on tho jaw put Mr. Maher to sleep in less than one full round. The light over which so much has been said and written, which caused congress to become so agitated that it passed a law prohibiting it in tho United States, and which kept Texas rangers and Mexican ruralcs awake for threo weeks to prevent it from being pulled oil' on either side of the Rio (J ran do, was all over in one minute and thirty-live seconds from the time tho men faced each other in the ring. They fought on Mexican soil. Death of Mr#, itecsu Lloyd. Mrs. Reese Lloyd died fit her home on Ridge street shortly after 1) o'clock on Friday morning. Death was due to an illness which she contracted during con finement a few weeks ago. Mrs. Lloyd before her marriage, which took place in 1894, was Miss Nellie Bellas, a daughter of Joseph Bellas, of Drifton, and was regarded by all her acquaint ances as a most ostimablo young lady. The funeral takes place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Services will be held at the residence by Rev. C. W. Twing, of St. James 1 Protestant Episcopal chapel. Interment will be made at Freoland cemetery. DeHervinK of Support. A basket luncheon and social will be given in tho Cottage hall on Friday evening, March 0, for the benefit of the M. E. church. No pains will bo spared to mako it a grand affair. In view of tho circumstances of tho case, it is ear nestly hoped that this entertainment will be liberally supported by the public, both in its preparation and patronage.

March 17. —Annual ball of St Patrick's Beneficial Society at Young Men's • opera house. Admission, 50 cents, Unsigned His Position. I. Rofowich, Jr., the popular young manager of Rofowlch's clothing store, has resigned his position in tliat estab lishment and will leave town about the latter part of this week. During the six years that Mr. Rofowich resided here, the last two of which he spent as general manager of the store, he made a large circle of friends and built up a business that far exceeded the expectations of himself or the proprietor. No small amount of the trade which the establish ment now enjoys is due to the energy and push of the manager, who devoted him self to the work before him with a tact and ability that would have done credit to an older and more experienced man. lie has made himself very popular with the patrons of the store by his courteous and obliging disposition, and in business matters has given strict at tention to every department. II is friends heard with regret liis intention to leave town, but will, no doubt, be pleased to learn that lie lias already received some good offers, and will likely accept one of them, which will take him to the vicin ity of Pittsburg, where he has been offer ed the management of a largo establish ment in the same lines of business. Judges Cannot Ho Ruinoved. Attorney General McCormick has sent an opinion to Governor Hastings relative to the removal of judges in gchtiylkill county. Recently J. O. Ulrich, of I'otts villo, tlio Schuylkill county solicitor, wrote to the governor asking him under certain provisions in article five of the constitution to remove two judges of that ! county who has been incapacitated from j work; one for three years and the other i for over one year. The attorney general advises the I governor that ho has no power under | the law to take the initiative in such a ! matter. A judge can only be removed from office, he says, by process of im peachment or by an address to the gover nor signed by two-thirds of the members of each house of the general assembly. Under the circumstances the attorney j general holds that no action can be taken. A Fire in Tuimiqmi. Fire broke out Friday morning in the ' building occupied by Render's confec tionery store, Tamaqua. The firemen fought the lire with rare skill, and in a ; short while had the lire under control ! although it was not until three hours | and a half after the alarm was given that all the firemen left the building, j Tho occupants of the houses were not | aware of the existence of the lire until the firemen had entered tho house. Then Render gathered up his two 1 children and rushed to the awning j where a ladder was stipended and he descended with his children in his arms. Tho damage is covered by insurance. All to Ho Painted The Pennsylvania Railroad Company lias issued orders to have all rails, handle j bars, pipes and brass work on the en- j ginos painted black. All ornaments must also be removed. Tho order moots the approval of all the firemen, for it re duces the amount of work, which lias been considerable of late. The old en gineers of the road, however, are greatly displeased. They have boon used to have tho brass and copper work of their engines polished to a high ; degrco. That part of the order relating j to ornaments also displeases them, some i of the engines having deer horns that been taken care of for years. New Masonic Lod^e. District Deputy Grand Master \V. D. White, of Wilkesbarro, will institute a j new lodge of Free and Accepted Masons at tliis place 011 Tuesday evening. Tho ceremonies will take place in Goeppert's i hall, which lias been fitted up for the 1 purposes of the new organization. 11 will bo known as Arbutus Lodge, No. 611, and the officers to start with will be Rev. J. W. Risehoff, worthy master; Charles 11. Richards, senior warden, and John P. Powell, junior warden. Senator Kline Duclines. Senator Kline, who was urged by the Republicans of lower Luzerne to be a j candidate for re-election to the state j senate, came out in a card in the llazle ton Sentinel , declining tho offer of his friends. He says that after carefully considering the matter from tho stand points of business and health, he con cluded not to be a candidate for renomi nation. In justice to himself, lie says, lie could pursue no other course. Dr. Scltuell'cr May llu*iu;n. State Superintendent of Public In struction Schaeffer may retire from of lico before tho expiration of his commis sion, which runs until June, 1807. He lias I boon tendered tho position of superintcn dent of Reading schools, to take the place of Samuel A. Rear. Tho salary is $3,000 a ' year and it is likely that Dr. Schaeffer will accept. Found a New Vein. Tho Pittston capitalists who are pros pecting for coal in the vicinity'of Pond Creek have struck a vein twenty-three feet thick, which is claimed to lie in virgin ground, never worked either at Sandy Run or Upper Lehigh. Prospecting will I continue, as expectations are that an other vein, at present worked at Upper ' Lehigh, will be found. BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS.

Reports from all parts indicate that j candidates who were recent converts ! from Democracy to Republicanism were j slaughtered unmercifully. The three in Freelaud, one in Foster and one in llazle met an unenviable fate. Lu Freelaud the next council will have four Democrats and two Republicans, the sghool board will be the same, the board of auditors will have three Demo crats again and all other borough oiliees will be filled by Democrats. Schwartz's majority is now placed at '333. 1 It was 3.53 ahead in liazleton, 177 in llazle and 12 in Freelaud. a total of 577. Smith's majorities were 183 in Car bon. 102 in Foster, 31 in West liazleton j and 28 in Jeddo, a total of 311. J Rosenstock is elected poor auditor by I 1,143. In Carbon his majority was 017. I in liazleton 300, in Foster 158, in West i liazleton 88 and in Jeddo 31. a total of 1,100. Mcllill had a majority of 31 in llazle and 10 in Freelaud, a total of 53. I Schwartz's election in a territory that ; is overwhelmingly Republican must be ' accepted as a rebuke to those who are attempting to run politics as an adjunct Ito a secret organization.
