DR.. Manley Thinks the Injured Man
Will Recover.
Yesterday Michael Hands condition
greatly relieved the minds Of his
family from any apprehension as to the
probable fatal results of the accident
he suffered. Except few hours of the
night that he was delirious, he has been
fully conscious and rational.
DR.. Manly stated to TRIBUNE re-
porter last night that there is II slight
fracture of the skull, but not in any de-
gree sufficient to cause alarm. In cases
of skull fracture, however, the doctor
said that no injury to the head can be
considered trifing, as there is no tell
ing what shock the brain may have
suffered.
But he believes that from the present
outlook Mr.. Hand will become rapidly
convalescent. 4.

AT THE THEATERS.

George Thatcher's Minstrels and Farce
Comedy company will present the new
at the Academy of Music as the opening
attraction next Monday evening, Aug. 27.
The play, In which the best and most
taking features of minstrelsy, speciality
and farcical comedy are combined, IS one
of the happiest efforts in this direction
that has yet been seen. One of the great
est things in its favor is that it has clear,
concise and well constructed story, in
which the innumerable incidents and feat
ures follow each other with natural
sequence. There are plenty Of bright and
catchy musical numbers, with good people
to sing them, and, aided by an elegant array
OF graceful dancers, the whole ensemble
moves with dash and vgor that is re-
freshing.

1t has been very trenchantly remark.

Fortunately tendency has recently
developed toward the correction of this
false balance The taking Of groups
of pupils out on little scientific excur-
sions is one pleasant recreation now
coming into general vogue. There is
also greater effort than formerly to
teach local history and local biography;
although it seems to us that these OBJ
jscts are still too much neglected.
But the one general means Of famil-
iarizing the inhabitants of Scranton
with the scenic bssutieS of Scranton

kodak culture, in which pleasant pas
