rwef? "VP'T? 'if&r THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SUNDAY' AITG-TJST 25,- 1889. -n 4 THE MUSIC ffOBLD. Musicians Form an Assembly of the Knights of Labor. EFFECT OF THE HEW DEPARTURE. A Permanent Professional Orchestra to be Organized. GOSSIP ABOUT ODE LOCAL MUSICIA5B As announced exclusively in The Dis patch yesterday morning, a Knights of Labor charter was on Friday granted to Musical Assembly No. 1683. The charter members comprise a doien or so of Pitts burg's orchestral players, mostly members of the Allegheny County Musicians' Union. At the first meeting under the new charter, to be held this afternoon, many more A. C. M. XJi men are to be admitted, and it is ex pected that very soon the membership of the two bodies will be practically identi cal, though the organizations will remain separate. The roll of officers is as follows: F. H. Bottkay, Master "Workman; J. S. Jordan, Corresponding Secretary; Jacob Friesel, Worthy Foreman, and George Kschier, Financial Secretary. Opportu nity to examine the charter has not yet been had, but it is understood that it conforms quite closely to the principles upon which the A. 0. M. TJ. has always stood, in per mitting members to play with whom they please, in modifying prices according "to the character of engagements, etc. "While it is gratifying to note that, in making this move, the A. C. M. TX. men have not abandoned the wise And liberal principles for which they have so long con tended, it is to be deeply regretted that they have sought to escape from a few temporary difficulties by subjecting themselves to the authority of an organization in whose interests, aims, occupations, con flicts and membership they have no real and permanent con cern. For the principles and aims of the ivnigbts ot .Labor, as voicea Dy u. j. v. Powderly, the writer has unfeiened respect and sympathy; but he would be as likely to rise in the next meeting of the Bar Associa tion or of the Art Society to move that those bodies apply for a K. of L. charter as to favor the entrance of the professional musi cians, as such, into the JC ot Xi. The two interests are essentially distinct, though, like all things human, they have some points in common. Even viewing music as a mere trade having wage-earning for its sole aim, it will be seen at once that it is a trade wherein there is the widest dif ference between the papabilities of its indi vidual followers; a trade wherein the per sonal ability of each man is of extreme im portance (one poor player spoiling the work of all beside him); a trade wherein, because of this all-important personal ele ment, the limited number of players and the irreeularity and variety of engagements it is impossible to apply an absolute scale of wages, lmp-icticabln to adjust difficulties by strikes or other movements of the mem bers as a whole, inconvenient in every way to use the K. of Xi. machinery in advancing the interests of the members, jointly or sev erally. Such considerations should suffice even were there no higher point of view from which to regard the musical calling. But it is not a trade. It is a profession, by virtue both of the vitally important per sonal element in it and also of its great function in the higher life of the com munity. The sphere of a' musicians' union, therefore, is distant from that of a trades union, and closely similar to the sphere of a union of lawyers, doctors or architects. Of course a professional union may be directly beneficial from a strictlr business stand point; may help in securing engagements, bring about uniformity in prices, etc But 'its chief activity should be on higher lines; disenssion. practice, friendly intercourse, joining together in all manner of exercises or enterprises that contribute to the good of the profession as a whole, and to the advance ment of the individual .members in their profession. It is worthy of note that in pro fessional life money as well as honor usually falls most plenteously to those who are most alive to the higher side of their profession, and who least' regard it as a mere trade. Besides being totally wrong in principle, this union of the musicians with the K. of L. means if it has any practical import that the musicians are henceforth liable to be drawn into the freqnent conflicts be tween capital and labor and the constant squabbles among the different labor organi zations. If some stage hand happens to be discharged by a theatrical manager, the orchestra may be ordered to stop playing till he is reinstated. If some non union carpenter gets a job in the Exposition building the bandsmen must pnt up their instruments and lose their pay till the mat ter is settled. If some trades organization does not get its desired place in a process ion, the bands will be liable to be called off and their engagements forfeited. And so on to the end of the chapter; iu each case the players not only losing their expected pay but breaking their contracts, dishonor ably leaving their patrons in the lurch and rendering themselves liable for damages. One would think the A. C. M. IT. men had had enough of this sort of thing al ready. It was simply the application of these trade union methods that caused the difficulties for which thev left the Musical Mutual Protective Union. It is a great pity that they have put their necks into the same sort of a noose again, just in order to meet the M. M. P. U. upon the low, false plane upon which the latter has been fight-, ing. It is to be hoped for the sake of the musi cal community that the A. C. M. U. will, before a great while, retrace this misstep, and once more stand in the strong and dignified position of a truly professional or ganization which shall so wisely protect and foster the best interests of that pro fession that its members can lay ihe Best claim to be called "union men" as belong ing to the only really musical union in the city. As against this serious mistake, it is a great pleasure to note that the Allegheny County Musicians' Union has actively com menced the organization of a complete, per manent professional orchestra. Instead cf lying around complaining of the lack of local patronage for any large orchestral en terprise, the players now propose to go to work on their own behalf, organizing them selves and rehearsing regularly until they can demonstrate to the public that their efforts in the higher lines of music are worth patronage a proposition which, without such demonstra tion, woutd be open to question. Behearsals are to be commenced as soon as the Exposi tion is over, and to be continued weekly until the orchestra is ready with a repertoire for concerts of its own and has gained the requisite efficiency for assisting iu choral and other concerts of the higher class. Mr. Charles Gernert is in charge of the active work of enlisting mem bers. The conductor for the new orchestra has not yet been finally determined upon, it is said, although Mr. John Gernert is commonly spoken of for that important post. The following well-known instrumental ists are alieady on the list: Messrs. StelB ner, Oberhaeusser, Arnold, Keller, Radio, Gauske, Staley, Specht and Gerlach, violin and viola; Cooper and Markwart, cello; Iioppentien, McCaffrey and Arbogast. bass; Guenther and Kschier, flute and piccolo; Fisher, Shurtz,Friezelind Boenigk, clario net; Beckert and Freyman, oboe; Dietz and Staley, bassoon; Leppig, Bottkay. Arbogast and Loeblicb, horns; Weitz and Frey, trom bone; "Weis and Muller, cornet: Lecch.tuba; Heim, bass drum; "Weis.cymbals; Friebertz haeusser, tympani. . And still they cornel Pittsburg seems bent on orchestral schemes just now. The Amateur String Orchestra nucleus for fu ture growth led by Mr. Charles Niermer, is progressing finely, they say." It has just secured permanent quarters In the Mozart Club rooms, where it will rehearse this evening for the first time. Bumors of quasi orchestras, entirely feminine as to players, and largely mandoline as to instruments, are in the air. The Poco-a-Poco's graceful and entLused directress, Mrs. Dr. J. H. Walters, has found a new rival in the person of Mrs. Cora' Sellers, of Oakland, under whose baton anotheramateaur orchestra will hold its first rehearsal next Monday even ing at the residence of Mr. "W. J. Caskey. Among the score or more of members already enlisted may be named Messrs. Harry Knake, James Iioughery, Charles Bunton, Harry Caskey, Anson Mc Vey. Charles Johns, Charles Seibert, Erwin Omohundro, Florence Bussell, James Mc Gowan, Fred McFeely, Ed. Stieren, George Young, Edward Omohundro, John Mc Feely, Charles McVey, Ed. Hukill, James P. Barr, Jr. The reports from Kittanning's Normal Music School indicate a gratifying success. At the public concerts a high order of musio and rather surprising quality of perform ance seem to be the rule. A part of the "Messiah" was given creditably at one con cert, onr Mr. Broadberry winning praise in the bass solos. Mr. Schmank's semi-weekly piano recitals continue to present excellent programmes of which the following, given last Tuesday, is a fair sample: 'Knnita " nn "7 TCn . mnnnllehtl.BeetbOVen Lecture.

It Is said by critics that the princely personage was never better done in London than by Ed ward Bcovel, a native of Detroit, who married Miss Marcia Roosevelt, of this city, about 12 years ago. Since then Brother Bcovel has studied and sung in Italy and iu London, and now returns to the land of his birth to be a member of Colonel Foster's Boston Ideals. If the Ideals give "Lohengrin" with Scovel in the title role all Americans will bid him God speed and wish him luck. A SEPARATE TEIAL Each of the Cronln Suspect Wants to Have b Hearing All by Himself Tie Slate'. Attorney Will Op pose the Proposition A Conspiracy Case. Chicago, August 24. The attorneys for O'Sullivan to-day notified State's At torney Longenecker that on Monday next when the Cronin case came to trial they would move for a separate trial for their client "One can readily see," said Attorney Donohue this afternoon, "why it would be highly prejudicial to our client to be tried with Woodruff. The letter's alleged con fessions, in one of which he says that O'Sul livan was the third man who came out from the Carlson cottage with the trunk contain ing Dr. Cronin's body, the night of the murder, and then returned to the cottage, is not admissible as evidence, because they were made after the murder. Yet it would be very damaging to O'Sullivan to be tried with him. As for Coughlin and Burke, we expect that some of the evidence against them would be damaging to our client, though it by no means affects him." A lew minutes after the above notice was received a messenger arrived at the State's Attorney's office bringing similar notices from Mr. Forrest, the attorney for Cough lin and from Senator Kennedy, the attor ney for Burk. Thus, O'Sullivan, Cough lin, and Burk will each make a fight for a separate trial. "This move is not a surprise to me," said State's Attorney Longnecker. "I expected some such attempt at delav would be made by the defense. Of course I shall resist the motions. The six defendants are indicted for conspiracy, and ought to be tried to gether, and I have no doubt they will be, though, of course, I can not predict what view the court will take.'' BLOW GETTING A SETTLEMENT. A Long Tims Consumed In Securing Lewi Bros. & Co.' Schedules. rsrxcui. imniuM to the dispatch. 1 New Yoek, August 24. The schedules of Lewis Bros. & Co., it is now said, will not be ready for filing until the latter part of the week. They will be filed in Philadelphia, and it is doubtful if a copy is filed in this city. It is a month since the firm failed, and creditors have been unable to learn anything definite about the firm's condition. The confident feeling that the firm would make a good showing appears to have disappeared, and the delay in prepar ing their statement has led to the idea in trade circles that the showing will be poor. A report was current to-day that the liabilities will be between $6,000,000 and $7,600,000, with assets of $4,000,000. While the creditors seem to be very friendly toward the firm, some of them are only wait ing to see the official schedules before taking steps to protect their interests. Some ot the creditors who have been try ing to find out something about the firm's condition have made a discovery that three weeks before the firm failed, Henry Lewis, one of them partners, transferred valuable real estate in this city, the consideration being $223,000. On July 3 her transferred property on Franklin street, with a five story store, to Alister Greene, for $75,000, and on the following day he transferred property on White street, consisting of two lots and a six-story building, to Elliott ZborowBki, for $150,000. The $225,000, it is said, was used in the business,, to help the firm along. ARTISTIC SINGING. The Howard Method. Mr. John Howard, the well-known voice teacher of New York City, though he has been in Pittsburg only a tew days, already finds two-thirds of his available time en gaged. His claims to a new and superior method appear to be supported by high authority. He is visited in New York for special study by Frank Sargeant, Director of the Lyceum School of Dramatic Art; by George Edgar, Shakespearean reader; by Carl Dufft and many others of great promi nence. The London Musical Times writes of him as "the bead of the physiological school ot voice training." The New York Herald says: "His views derive authority irom his long experience as a successfnl teacher who is himself a vocalist." F. H. Pease, the principal teacher of Detroit, writes: "I can now advance a pupil more by ten lessons thah I formerly could in a full year by the old plans." Dr. F. E.MH- ler, tenor of the Church or the HolvTrinity, N. Y., states: "Permit me to say that I know of no teacher in New York City who can compare with you, either in the science of vocat mechanism or in the practical placement of the voice. Your method is as lar in advance of ths present methods as Wagner's music is above that of his con freres. You cast aside the old empirical way of teaching and produce the proper emission of tone by a direct and mechanical means, which can be demonstrated theoreti cally and practically as a success." During the year Mr. Howard spent in Boston no less than five professional teach ers of voice putthemsejves under his in struction, including one voice teacher of the New England Conservatory of Music Any one interested will be welcomed during the gaming week between 2:30 and 3:30 at his studio. 602 Penn ave., when each voice could be tried and its prospects fairly stated. The Exposition Opening-. The Exposition will open next week and your friends and relations from all over the country will be in to see you. Don't bother with the baking at such a time; get Marvin's bread, crackers and cakes and be happy. xissu. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. . A Bold Attack Made Upon Mr. Frances Jerome, of the Tellow Cross Society, at Johnstown Contribution In the West That Have Not Yet Been " Received. ItriCUL TXLZGEAM TO Tint DIsrATCB. Johssto'WS', August 24. Mrs. Frances Jerome, who represents the Yellow Cross Society here, was assaulted last nighlby two ruffians and dragged from her horse while riding through a deserted portion of Prospect HilL Bobbery was evidently the object of the villains, as she carried a hand bag, and the jingling of keys in her pocket made them believe she had money. She was pretty badly hurt before managing to escape their clntches, but will not suffer any serious consequences. Her assailants have not yet been captured. Mr. C. Louther, a prominent shoe dealer of this place, returned to-day from a visit to the West. He says that at many towns throughout the country there are tunds of from $2 000 to $5,000 which have been con tributed for the Johnstown sufferers. At Dubuque, la., the treasurer of the fund, has $3,000, at Waverly and Waterloo there are also considerable amounts. The money has not been sent here because of the confusitn in the minds of the people as to how the affairs are being managed. j The statement of Governor Beaver rt garding the Boston fund that it was not needed, has led the people to think that their money is not wanted, and much of it will likely be diverted to other places'. This state of affairs is unfortunate, for the people here need all they can get. If the, matter of making the distributions wascon ducted in a business manner, there is no' danger of getting more money than can be properly applied. CAUSED BI WRONG ORDERS. 'A Train Illipatcber Blamed for tnt Last Wreck on the B. & O. I rSFXCIAI. TELKQRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.! PAEKEESBUEO, W. Va., August 24. Not until to-day has it been possible to re ceive a lull report of the wreck which oc curred at Silver Bun yesterday forenoon. The killed are James Layman, engineer, of Parkersburg, and Firemen Bailey and Fletcher, of Grafton. The seriously injured are Joseph Bowland, J. A. Hunier, B. L. Hefflin, Michael Graham, all ot Grafton; Thomas Henry and B. J. Malley; of Park ersburg; Mrs. Manly, of Central station, and a colored porter of Baltimore. Bow land is so badly crushed that he cannot live. Engineer Layman was thrown from his cab clear over the two colliding engines, and one of his legs torn from his body and the other ground to a pulp. Fireman Bailey was an absolutely unrecognizable mass "of pulverized bones and flesh. His head was not found till this morning, when it was discovered wedged in between his shoulder blades, with the skull as bare as though it had been scalped. Layman was the oldest engineer on the road, and this was his first serious wreck. The trouble was caused by the train dispatcher at Grafton issuing different orders to .the tiro trains. ' REUNION OF SHERMAN'S ESCORT. SnrrlTor of Tecnmseh'a Body Guard Hold a Meeting at FIndlay. rEFZCIiX.TZI.XOBXU TO THZ DISPATCH.! Findlat, August 24. The annual reunion of what is known as the Sherman Escort, which was composed of the Seventh Independent Company of Ohio Volunteer Sharpshooters, began in this city yesterday and closed to-night with a grand camphxe. This company was or ganized in Cleveland in October, 1862, with I3S members. After going through the arduous duties of the war for a couple of years, on the 1st of May, 1864. at Chattanooga, it was assigned to duty as the personal escort or body guard of General "W. T. Sherman, and re mained with him until the close of the war. After the grand parade at Washington, the escort was seat to St. tools and established Sherman's headquarters there. It then went to Columbus, where it was mnstered out July 2S. 1865, with 79 members. The company re ceived many commendations for gallant con duct, and the recruiting officer at Camp Chass ordered this indorsement made on the rolls: "This is the most orderly, quiet and best disciplined boar ot troops that has reported to me since arrival here." The escort lost 17 men duriag the service, and now has about 60 members alive, of which number 27 attended the reunion here, to-day. General Sherman was expected to be' present, but sent a telegram regretting his In ability to get here in time. At the business meeting to-day the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, William McCrory, of Minneapo lis; Vice President, Adam Metzgar, of Mansfield, O.; Secretary, Robert Fooks, of Columbus, O.; Treasurer, James Cox, of Arlington. O.; Chaplain William Harris, of Marysville. The next reunion will be held In Marysville next September. Let ters of regret were received from General Sher man, Colonel James E. Campbell, General S.H. Hurst. Department Commander of the G.A.R.; General R. B. Hayes, Governor Foraker, Gov ernor J. A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and Gen eral W. H. Gibson. Speeches were made by a number of local speakers and members of the escort. The whole occasion was one of the most successful the organization has ever en joyed. The reunion drew over 3,000 strangers. fru uib city uriiay. Theodore Carnnt. Nxw ORLEANS. August 24.
