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. Washburn represent
ed Freeland Council, No. 348, at the re
cent session of the association.
FREELAND, PA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY '2l, 1890.
ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
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.

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

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.
