LAST NIGHTS PLAYS.

Scammon's company produced 1.-THE
Burglar" at the rockingham last night.
The play is clever production Of the pen
of Augustus Thomas, author Of "Ala
bama." The company was fairly good and
gave good presentation of the piece. Miss
Anna Boyle Moore did some very effective
acting in the roll Of Mrs. Lewis, and
Eugene Moore and A. Gordon-Robinow
proved themselves clever actors. Little
Gertie Carlisle sung and danced in way
that evoked hearty applause.
The reconstructed and rewritten farce
comedy, "The Dazzler," was given at the
Academy of Music last evening. The farce
has been greatly improved by the over
hauling it has received and is now practi-
cally a new piece. Joseph OFT. who in
years past was the mainstay of the COM
pauy, was missed last night. His place
was filed by Charles Wayne, clever &C.
centric comedian. He is not an OFT, how
ever. The work of the Dewitt sisters,
Robby Ralston, Will West and Florrie
West showed that they are fine farce COM
edy artists

Street Commissioner Kirst has had
his war paint on for several days and
in consequence, the Scranton Traction
company, the Economy Light. Heat
and Power company. and the Mears
and Jermyn building contractors have
had trouble on their hands.
Since the corporations and indi-
viduals mentioned have been perform
ing their various excavating, track
laying and building operations, the
street commissioner and mayors de-
p p,rtments have been fl loded with COM
plants and letters, asking that the
works mentioned be conducted with u
less disposition to block important
thoroughfares and sidewalks.
Many Of the letters were in tone and
language more expressive than elo-
quent.
The street commissioner increased
his efforts to have the work done more
expeditously and in compliance with
city ordinances, but as soon as he had
read the law to one violator the Others
would infringe their privileges.
hhGI hltSI ON Jhh KUN,
Mr.. Kirst was engaged going back
and forth until he became tired and in
cidentally angry. and yesterday the fun
commenced.
An elevated or street.level plank
walk has been ordered laid around the
Mears corner at Washington avenue
and Spruce street and the steam hoist.
ing engine ordered off the street aud
into the cellar; a steam hosting engine
t. be used on the Jermyn building at
Wyoming avenue and Spruce street
was likewise ordered into the cellar or
to disappear and a mandate issued that
the iron work be kept clear of the
alley and the street; the Traction com.
psny workmen were instructed to make
street functions passable or cease work,
and the Steam Heating company were
given notice on various infringements
similar to those applied to the other
violators.
KIRsT REFUSED TO UNBENp.
Mr.. Mears spent considerable time
at the municipal building yesterday
afternoon endeavoring to have Mr..
Kirst modify his demands and in view
Of the latter's inhexibility Mr.. Mears
sought the intercession of Mayor Con
nell.
The mayor told Mr.. Mears that he
would have to abide by the street
commissioners instructions, that COM
plants of building and corporations
operations are numerous and that the
various concerns must conduct their
work more properly in the future. In
view Of the firmness of the municipal
officers it is likely that hereafter there
will be less cause for compliant.
