To Be Given ut Laurel Hill Park for Two
Weeks


Commencing Monday. Sept. 2, and
continuing every evening for two
weeks. weather permitting, Palms
marvellous production of THE Last
Days Of Pompeii' will be given at Lau-
rel Hill park. The Chicago Herald, in
speaking of this production as given
there, says:
Last evening was the first night of
this seasons presentation Of "The Last
Days of Pompeii," which had such a
successful run here in 1859. and met
with hearty reception from the large
audience which had assembled. In
the foreground Is the sea, upon the
shores of which the city of POmpeii
can be seen stretching back halfway
up the sides Of treacherous Mount We
suvius. Near the sea and to the left
the Temple of Isis stands. and here the
sacrifices are to take place. In the
center Is the arena, where are carried
on the games peculiar to the Roman
festival.
THE applause of the audience at vari-
Gus intervals showed that 1t found
nothing to be desired. and reached a
climax when the gray old mountain be-
gan its eruption. The whole was in
perfect harmony. from the apparel of
the rabble to the decorations of the
temple"
There will be excursion rates on all
roads running into Scranton, while the
price Of admission hs been placed at the
nominal sum Of 25 cents.

JOLLY OLD CHUMS.
Opened Its Season at tho Academy Of
Music,


The initial performance Of Jolly Old
Chums," farce comedy constructed
for laughing purposes. was given at
the Academy of Music last evening.
The mechanical arrangements and
effects were satisfactory. and the farce
moved very smoothly considering that
1t was the first performance this sea-
son.
The farce consists of three acts, the
first opening up a boom for a summer
resort by an actors advertising
agency; the second illustrates the
boom In full blast at Staten Island,
and the final act the boom bursted.
The specialties introduced by Thom-
as ]. Grady, Budd Ross and Harry G.
Lester are well done. and the acting of
the charming soubrette, Miss Carrie
Lamont. Is a feature Of the perform
ance. The musical numbers, though
catchy, are not well rendered, the
voices, particularly the soloists, being
somewhat weak.
A Trilby scene Is given In the last
act. A few of the roles will have to be
strengthened. II last nights perform
ance Is q fair criterion OF the ability
Of the people who now assume them.
There was a large audience present
to usher In the 1886 season of the
academy.

est house.
Mr.. Davey was not feeling we'll and
he arose to take some medicine; he left
the light burning after returning to
bed. and 1t is presumed that the lamp
was upset by the cat jumping upon
the table. The flames had not got
much of start before the smoke
aroused Mr.. and Mrs. Davey and they
gotsout safely.
Most of their furniture was de-
stroyed. Only a few small articles OF
clothing We're saved. The house was
not insured, and the loss will amount
