STROGOFF STRANDED.
Tho COmpany's Baggage IL Seized by
Scranton People.

The hot weather of the past few
weeks has made the theatrical business
most unpleasant and Improbable
one. No one has realized this more
than the company which played Michael
Strogoff here on Monday evening, who.
instead of filling their Golfers with
money, have gradually lost all they
had, and at Scranton were obliged to
go in debt They were allowed to come
to this city in hopes that enough money
would be made from the performance
to pay the bill. The hotel mems hopes
We're blasted. however, for the tickle
public of this place failed to turn out,
and the company were obliged to go
through their parts to rows Of empty
seats, filled here and there by some
curious person who knew something
was the matter. yet did not know what
1t was.
The members Of the company were
quartered at the American house, and
before they left the city their baggage
was attached by Proprietor Williams.
Proprietor Mcbride, Of the Westmins-
ter, Scranton, also had constable on
deck and he attached the scenery of the
company, thus leaving the members
homeless and destitute upon the hands
Of an unsympathizing public.
