OLIVER TWIST AT ACADEMY.
Given Fine Presentation by Competent
Actors.

A dramatic version of Charles Dick
ems story. "Oliver Twist" was produced
at the Academy of Music last night
before critical audience Dickens text
has been faithfully adhered to in the
stage production, and all of the strong,
thrilllngs scenes which are so accurate
ly and realistically portrayed in the
story by Dickens mastery pen, are as
faithfully portrayed in the stage pro-
duction. The predominating interes.
in the drama of course centers and re-
wolves about Nancy and her common
law husband Bill Sykes, Fagin the
Jew, and Rumble,' the Parish Beadle.
1t is fortunate for the success OF the
drama that these characters have been
assigned to the most competent per-
sons. 1t requires more than ordinary
ability to fully realize the characters
that Dickens drew. Miss Elita Proctor
Otis, who has been seen here as Mrs.
Eastlake Chapel, in '"rhe Crust of So
ciety," as Nancy Sykes, strengthened
the golden opinions as to her versatility
and cleverncss, which her work in the
role of Mrs. Chapel won for her. She
was artistic in everything and in the
oNt'i'S Win Ipli NtS anu y Sli was
emotional and Impressive without be-
ing unnatural Her greatest bit of act
ing was in the fifth act as she dragged
herself from the room where Bin Sykes
had beaten her almost to death. The
death scene Is impressive and true TO
the love Nancy feels for her repusive
partner, she bids him as she dies to
save himself from the punishment his
treatment of her will bring down upon
him. 1t was a wel-acted scene, and
was rewarded by thunders of applause.
That competent actor, Charles Barron,
was, of course, admirable as Bill Sykes,
In appearance, gesture, action and
speech he looked and acted the part.
Mr.. Barron has played BIN to the
Nancy Of such actresses as Matilda
Heron, Lucille, Western, Rose Etynge
and Fanny Davenport. He faithfully
represents the low order of the London
bully and criminal with naturalness
that is wonderful.
Harry c.. Carletons Fagin deserves
to rank with Mr.. Barron's Bill Sykes
for its faithfulness of conception and
naturalness OF delineation. W. a.
Mestayer was excellent as that bulk of
pomposity, Bundle, the Parish Beadle.
Beadle.
The play is staged in an excellent
manner, several OF the scenes being par
ticularly fine.

AFTER BIG DAMAGES.
Daniel COghlan and George L. Brcek Ask
for $4,000 Damages

for NSOOOO Damages.
Action Of trespass with the sum OF
damages complained of, named at $780,,
900, was begun in the Office of Pro-
thonotary Pryor yesterday by Attorney
c. Comegys. representing Daniel Cogh
Ian and George l.. Breck, against the
Meadow Brook Water company.
The plaintiffs allege that they are
owners Jointly of a certain piece of
land along the Stafford Meadow brook,
situated between Pittston and Prospect
avenues, and as riparian owners of the
land in question the Stafford Meadow
brook stream was of great value to
them, until, on April Is, 1889, the de-
fendant company began the construc-
tion Of a dam and other distractions
across the brook above the point where
the lands Of the plaintiffs begin; the
same is done for the purpose of supply
iE : water to the citizens OF Scranton.
BY reason of this dam and other OBJ
structions, 1t is alleged that the accus-
toned flow of water has been greatly
diminished, which fact deprives the
plaintiffs of the use of water power for
any purpose they should desire to use it.

Two trespass suits of $4,000 each
were begun yesterday afternoon in

Valley Railroad company. Thomas b.
Orchard is the plaintiff in one Of the
suits. and his wife, Mrs. Cora /.
Orchard, is the plaintiff in the other.
e. c. Nawcomb and John F. Reynolds
are the attorneys in the case.
The suit is based on injuries alleged
to have been received by Mrs. Orchard
while alighting from a a train at Pau
pack crossing on the Erie and Wyom-
ing Valley railroad. She purchased a
ticket in this city to Paupack and
claims that when she was in the act of
stepping from the platform of the car,
the train started up and she sustained
such injuries as have since been the
occasion Of great sickness and rendered
her sore and disordered. 1t is alleged
to have been done through the careless
ness, unskilfullness and negligence of
the company.
Her husband sues for the loss Of her
services.

a Donnie in Bible Lands,

The following notice of Mr. Read
book Is from the pen of the professions !
reviewer of the New York Evangelist:
The Holy Land will awalys remain "a
place of such sacred interest, that an
author of books about it need hardly
apologize for adding one more to the
number, so long as the work is well
written record of personal experiences,
without guide book lore. The reader
may theI efOre take Mr.. Reads preface
rather as an explanation than an apology.
Having been sent abroad by the kind.
ness of his people, the pastor naturally
desired to share with them the gains of
his journey; and they, finding the profits
large, were generously eager to share
them with the public. In this they APP
pear to have acted wisely. Mr.. Reads
style is sprightly, and his observations
of things appear to have arisen from
genuine personal interest. His descrip-
tions, therefore, have a pleasant flavor
of individuality, even when they refer to
well known subjects, and give somewhat
elementary information. The descrip.
tons of scenery-Of sunset on the Nile
for eXample-are particularly good, and
the estimates of national character
appear to be judicious and sympathetic.
About a third of the book is given to
Egypt; the remainder to Palestine. A
Gaze tourist party would not appear to
offer many opportunities. The book is
well, though not elegantly made; it con
tains two good maps and number of
interesting illustrations from photo
graphs"
