DELAYED FOR ONE DAY.
Formal Transfer of Pennsylvania
Takes Place Today.

Last night saw the termination of
the existence of the Pennsylvania Coal
company. 1t is an odd coincidence
that six years ago today the man
died who practically made that COM
pany what it is. for today is the ami
versary Of the death of John B.
Smith.
The transfer of the company to the
Erie was to have been made yester-
day, the Ostensible reason of the de-
lay being that the books were not
ready.
1t Is rumored, however. that the
Thornes have been instrumental in
causing the tardiness for reasons
which have not been divulged. The
transfer being made today. the COM
pany will meet for organization and
it is expected that officials of the new
regime will he appointed tomorrow
Great interest is felt locally in the
result OF these deliberations, as many
arc deeply concerned as to what will
constitute the future policy.
The Pennsylvania Coal company
posted notices yesterday afternoon,
announcing the suspension of work AT
all of their collierles for one week.
This is probably done to allow every
thing to be put in flrst-class shape be-
fore the new management assumes
control

Well Known Physician Returns, AT

DR.. c. Fl. Strong, who recently
opened offices at 400 Lackawanna
avenue. is well known in this city and
throughout Northeastern Pennsylva-
MIA as well. He practised here very
extensively during 1857, 1888 and 1883,
and made many warm friends. both in
a social and professional way. Nearly
the entire period OF his absence from
this city he has spent abroad.
He spent considerable time in Jo-
hannesburg, South Africa from which
place he went to London, where he
practised with great success, return
ing to this country last April
Dr. Strong is we'll equipped to- treat
the many diseases to which he gives
special attention. His years of prac-
tical experience. which have certainly
given him the opportunity of observ-
ing the best and most effective meth
ods OF treatment, together with his
unequallcd collection of both foreign
and American instruments and ap-

the suffering and afflicted gives him
| a great advantage in ascertaining and
locating the seat of trouble.
The doctor has a complete labora-

THE HIDDEN GEM.
Splendid Amateur Production by Stu
dents of st. Thomas College.

One of the best amateur theatrical
performances ever given In this city
was conducted last night at the Ly-
ceum by the students of st. Thomas
college, who produced Cardinal Wise
mans play entitled THE Hidden
Gem"
The young men VINO took part are
to be congratulated for holding closely
the attention of an audience which
almost completely filled the theater
from the opening scene to the final cur
tain.
The play deals with the life of Alex
ius, the son of Roman patrician, Eu-
phemianus, who flourished in the early
centuries of the Christian era. The
part OF Alexius was very we'll taken
by Thomas Martin Jordan, while ]. q.
Cullen gave the proper dignity and
bearing to the part of Euphemianus.
Bibulus, the slave who plots the life OF
Euphemianus, was the part allotted TO
John A. Murphy, and he made one of
the biggest hits of the night, especial
ly in the drunken scene in the first act.
Perhaps the most artistic piece of
work was done by Moses w. OMalley,
who played the part of Gamio, an old
beggar, with marked distinction and
with all the ease of professional. /.
Other characters were enacted by John
f.. McHale, James B. Sando. John A..
Ruddy, Aloysius f. Colligan, Edward
j. O'Hara. NJ. w. Kilcullen and Leo j.
Silvers.
Forty OF the students appeared as
slaves, robbers. officers, etc. and made
big hit, especially in dance in the
first act. The costumes were very good
and the scenic settings were attractive.
All in all, the production was exceed
ingly commendable.
