M. C. A. Hall last evening. It was the eighth event of a sories now being given undor the auspices ot tho association.

Mr. Smith had a large and appreciative audiencj, which was very attentive throughout the whole discourse. would be utterly Impossible for them to be otherwise, when It is considered that the subject is one closely connected with the iu toiustsofthe auditors aud that the lecturer without doubt one of the best informed men iu that lino. Herpoke for over an hour in fluent style, proving hnnseif.to be thoroughly oonvorsaut and familiar with all the various branches ot his theme. He graphically ex THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN.

WEDNESDAY MORNIXO, FEBRUARY 25. 1891. plninod the theory of the formation of coal and ubont everything; of interest hinging upon it. He stated fnots and futures to com bat the idea advanced by some scientists that the coal supdiv would irivo out ere He made the statement that at the present output the vomine district would continue to sud ply coal for 300 years. Of the 2,000.000 square miles ot coal fields, this district en braces but 500 souare miles and one can see at a glance that there is no danger of til coal supply beiim exhausted during our time.

Mr. Smith exhibited a large chart of tho Wyoming anthracite Unit to assist mm la making clear his arguments. One siatoment he made which is of more than passiug iutor est Wits that if one pound of coal be manu factured into gas it will have a lifting power equal to a.UOU pounds MITCHELL AND OKELL. The Board of Control in Reorgnnizing Chooses a Sot Chairman and Reelects its Old Secretary. The Sorantou Board of Control met at 7:30 o'clock last evening for reorganization, Eighteen members were present.

The turn. utes of the last meeting wero read and ap proved. Mr. Wormser 6ald that unless the chair had something to say he would move to ad' journ sine die. This brought President Atherton to his foot He said that ho want ed to express his most sincere thanks aud gratitude for the many klnknesses shown him.

He especially wauted to return his personal thauks to the chairmen of the vari ous committees, who had rendered him such efficient aid. When Mr. Atherton sat down Mr. Wormsor moved that a voto of thanks be tendered the rotiriug President for the impartial aud con. scientious niaaner in which he has performed his arduous duties.

The Secretary put the motion, which was carried, and the Board adjourned sine die. jilr. Okell was then elocted temporary secretary, wnen the roll was called, eismteen members were found to oe present, Mr. Wormser moved that Mr. Atherton act as temporary cliairmoa, and this met approval.

Mitchell was by unani uious vote. Mr. Jenuings moved that a committe of two be appointed to escort Mr. Mitchell to the chair. When this hud passed, Messrs, Jennings and Langatuff were named.

Upon taking his seat, Mr. Mtcholl said it was almost unnecessary to inform the board that ho was thankful for being selected to preside over suolt an influential body. lie would do all in his power to fill tue position with crodit aud nouor. There was only one thing he had to ullur. All knew that the spirit ot relorni was abroad, hence ho hoped mat every mem oer would taite up the study of irruminar.

A REPORTER'S PAD. Lot no one say that the members of the city police force are not keepinga sharp outlook for burglars. They closely foilow up even tho slightest clue. At an early hour yesterday morning while M. 11.

Stone, one of the oldest compositors of The Eepubllcan was on his way home from work, he passed an oilicor when near his own door on Penn avonuo. When ne reached his domicile, Mr. Stone drew out his latch key, opened tho hall door and passed iu. He had no sooner reached his room on the third floor than lie heard a violont rapping which aroused Mr. John O'Boyle who lives on tho second floor.

Mr. Stono thought nothing of that for Mr. O'Boylo is an undertaker and people have been in tho habit of calling him out of bed at all times of night. The conversation which followed was surprising and interesting. Get up," cried the officer, ''a uurglar just entered your place.

1 could not see whether ho entered the hall door or thostore door." Of course Mr. O'Boyle got out in double quick time and admitted the policeman. Both ascended to lhe second floor and began to go from room to room iu search of tho burglar. Mr. Stoua thought it about lime to eud the matter, passed out into tha hallway and called dowu the stairway, "Mr.

O'Boyle, it was I who just came iu." "Oh," exciuimed the officer, "it is all right then." Mr. Stone hurried into bed and laughed himself to sleep. A young member of the Lackawanna Bar named 11. W. Mu.hollaud recently enforced his rights in a very emphatic manner.

Oa his rotutn to the city a lew days ngo he loft one coach to enjoy a cigur in the smoker, leaving his umbrella iu the car in which he was first seated. When he returned for his umbrellu, it Was iue. Hunching his office on Wyomiug nve nue, tins city, Mr. Mulholland thought the mutter over und determined to return to the depot and see if he couid not see the umbrella iu possession ot some person there. When he reached the station platform, there sure enough was a good sized stranger strolling about with tho stolen umbrella iu his baud.

Mr. Mulholland had never had experiouco iu casos of stolen umbrellas bolore, lieuco his action was no doubt somewhat uuukuui. Ho strode up to the stranger, took a firm hold of the storm protector, aud excialaioJ with a hard riug iu his voice, Kay, Mister, this is my uuiuiclin." lhu stranger looked ut him in hntouishmeut aud appeared to bo startled. However, he resentod tha manuor in which Mr. Muluuiiani interrupted his waik, took a firmer grip of the umorella aud defiantly exciuimed, "I guess not." A struggle lustatit! tol.owed.

The men wriggicu b.iek aud fortu on the platform and attracted ijuuo ti crowd. As usual the bcrauton uiau won. Thu stranger curiously got his nectt underneath Mr. Jliiliioliuua's kueeund reluctantly yielded tho prize. Mr.

Mr. Atliorton, who retired last evening from the Presidency of the Board of (Jontrui drew a great igh ot relief when ho found himself ou the lioor again, "Ibis is the first tluto I have breathed in a year," he said. Had Mr. Atherton desired a re elocilou no ouhv, ould have opposed liim. Few cittir meli have ever exluuitcd so much humor as was revoaieu i.y Mr.

AtUertou, while presiding over a deliberative body. Goorgo Mitchell, tho handsome young Controller from the First ward, who succeeds Mr. Athertou, is Hie same gentleman who was recently elected Treasurer of the Scranton Pojr District.

The Deputy Sheriff's writs appearance beiore the board was called to order. Tha School Board has determined to fight the claim of Mr. Buane. They think lhat it is outlawed, and are confident thnt whou tho courts are annealed to they will deeide that the board Is right in refusing to pay the claim. KILLED BY THE CARS.

An Enormous House Pleasantly Entertained nt the Academy. Tho recent publioal ion of Edwin Arnold's 'Light ot the World," has stimulated anow the coustunt interest which attaches to the sublime story of the life and times of Christ.

That central epoch in the world's history is at present receiving more attentiou than ever. The gospel narrative of the birth aud life of the Savior is a strong and simple record, which will ever remain the first lesson of Christianity. Nevertheless Lew Wallace's fascinatiug tale of "Ben Hur" greatly enhances many aspects of tho splendid epic of tho gospels. Bon Hur" has become a class io in the language whose high and revereutial spirit the criticism of time will serve only to strengthen. That interest in Wallace's noble theme is not lacking in this city, the large aud cultured as semblage ut the Academy last even ing amply demonstrated.

Mis Jones' work at the recent Couuty Institute, as un elocutionist und reader, made it cer tain that those who attended last jight entertainment would be thoroughly pleased, and the event provrd that those who anticipated a rare treat were not disappointed. Inirty representative tableaux wore pre sented irom the novel, many of them being exceedingly pretty and picturesque. Luch was preceded by the reading by Miss Jones of au explanatory extract. Her enun ciation was clear, distinct, and audible in every part ot the room, and her recitation of the description of the chariot raoo was lull of dramatic fire and force. At tho conclusion he was greeted with hearty applause.

For the excellent arrangement of the tab leaux credit is due to the intelliiretit and careful supervision of Mrs. Ellen Kuight Bradford. The cast ot characters were en tirely local aud comprised the following: 13eu Uur Lew Bi naell Jiulaii Torrey Luce Bea rlur's Mother MrB. 'i'orroy l.uce lidenm Mr. iluuer Simonidos Curtis Coh C.

NORTH END BOARD OF TRADE.

An Industry With a Large Capital Desir ing a Good Location. The regular monthly meeting of tho North Eud Board of Trade was held on Monday evening in Kogers' Hafl, Providenca Square. Tho meeting was called to order at eight o'clock, with President W. J. Lewis in the chuir.

Mr. G. W. Jlilier, chairman of the com mittee oa Manufactories and Real Estate, submitted a letter from a party in the South, who desires to locate in this viciuity an In dustry having a quarter of a million dollars caDital aud employing about four hundred hands. Tho committoo was directed to further communicate with and respecting tho parties aud if the way is open to endeavor to interest local capitalists in the enterprise.

Chairman William Chapped, of tne Com mittee ou Streets und Highways made an interesting report in reference to us effort to secure the paving of North Main aveuuo uud I'rovtdonco road. The report showed that considerable more than a majority of property owners between what is ituowu as the liockwoil property and Church's Corners have sigued the petition for a pave. Quite a number of properly hold ors below the Corners on Proviueuce road have also signed the petition. The petition probab.y fainy expresses the desire of mne ontiis of the largo number oi poot le who live in the First, Second and Tnird wards that their main avenue of travel nnd uuturul ory of commiinicntion liotwoen tho central sections ol the city aud tho North End Should bo rescued from its prosent lsgraeeful and almost impassible state and put iu a first class puved condition, ito ewad efforts are to bo made to secure tne irty co operutiou of tho Dolaware, Lacka wanna anil Western company, who have quite extended patronage uioug the line of no Providence road.

AMUbLMLNTS. "The Bui slat" To ulght. One ot the very best of comodies, "Tho Burglar," will be givou nt the Academy of Music to uiglit. It will bo of a leflued nature aud yet contains so much rich humor that Inugntor cannot be restrained. The Columbus Sunday News euys of it: One of the most pleasant dramatic recollootlous of last s' asou is the performance of that beautiful comody drarnu, "The Burglar," which will mako Its second visit to Columbus at tho Grand to night.

Wb''n Ous Thomas wrote tho cjiuedy drama "lhe Burglar," he wont into a phase of humau diameter that few authors could use to good advnntago In a play ci merit, 'lhu story of thu dipsomaniac is common. So, loo, Is the story of the burg lur not, however, as wrlttou by Mr, Thomas and ilupicted by that strong actor, A. ti. Lip uutn, but in roles that the most speculative of tlteulro goers would not oxpect to find In a comedy drama worthy of Mr. Lipman's couupicuous talents.

It requires an actor to keep withlu bounds of ucu a scene. Mr. Lipniau Is an actor. His familiar iaue will be welcomed to Coiiimtms as often as he can come. There Is pleuiy of comedy in the play and It is of the best kind.

Harry, Corson Ciui and iiutlle bchell have the ronpouuiolt ity of tins part of the entertainment and the entire compuny is certainly one ot musical merit." ntiMuoss wrst's JIIKSrnELS.
