Tuneful "Sergeant to be at the Grand Afternoon and Evening. i "Sergeant Kitty," the comic opera success of New York, will be presented by Manager George R.

White at the Grand this afternoon and evening. "Sergeant Kitty" was pronounced, during its record run at Daly's theater and at the Casino, New York, to be the best comic opera offered in many years. It is comic and it is a real opera. It has a plot that can be discovered without the aid of a guide, the music is light, sprightly and melodious and of a high class throughout, the book is excellent, the lyrics are strictly up to date and the situations are rational and follow in a natural sequence. From the rise of the curtain on the first act to the drop of the curtain on the Anal scene, the comic opera bubbles with refined fun and melody.

The books and lyrics are the work of R. II. Burnside and the music is by A. Baldwin Sloane whose tuneful, "Mocking Bird" was a musical treat, and whose "Lady Teazle" has scored splendidly. The story of the play is sufficiently complicated to permit of a great number of amusing situations that fit into euch other like the works of a watch.

He has a hand drill now to help him and has found a larger vein of coat, also slate. Undoubtedly he has struck coal, which will soon be in paying Manager THE SCRANTO REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1905. NO. THREE SHAFT DESTROYED BY TIRE Costly Blaze on Pike Street Early Yesterday Morning Many Were Thrown Idle.

For the second time in five years, and the fourth time in its history, the number three shaft of the Delaware and Hudson company at what is known as the Lookout, on Pike street, was totally destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The fire entailed an estimated loss of about twenty thousand dollars and has thrown two hundred and fifty men idle. The buildings destroyed' were the carriage house, repair shop, engine and boiler rooms. The fire originated in the latter place and, it Is believed, by an overheated stack. The woodwork was very dry and burned like tinder, the flames spreading very The alarm box at the Lookout could not be opened and a general alarm was rung in from the box at the White bridge.

The Columbia, Mitchell and Cottage hose companies responded, but the fire had gained such headway that the flames could not be checked, and, despite heroic efforts, the entire plant was destroyed. The shaft proper was used only for the pumps and to lower men into the number one and number three mines. There were no men in the mine at the time. A nest of five boilers was destroyed. These boilers furnished power for the' steam pumps and to hoist cars up the slope from number one and number three mines to the new South Side breaker.

In these workings about two hundred and fifty men were employed and they will be idle till another set of boilers at number one can be placed in service. The pumps were also put out of service and If difficulty is encountered in repairing thein there is danger, of the mine being flooded. It is expected that work can be resumed in number one mine at" once and employment will probably be found for most of the sixty men who worked in number three mine. EAGLES BOOMING.
