The annual spring concert of tht Gorans Vereln Concordia was held lust evening In their handsome new hull, mi Northampton and Washington streets, before one of the largest audioncvu that has ever assembled In this hall. The programme opened with the over ture, "Paragraph 3," by Sttppe, played in :an excellent manner by the or chestra.' This was followed by a souk for mixed chorus and orchestra, "l-'ru-llngsdithrambe," by Haldamus. The mixed chorus showed up well, being well balanced and strong. Mlys Francos Hoffhelmer sang a contralto solo, "Dearest Heart of My Heart," by IV Koven, and It was warmly received, be ing followed by a double number for male chorus, a capella. The first was a Neapolitan volkslied, "Santa Lucia." and the second a student's song by Attenhoefer. Both were well rendered and heartily encored. The next number was one of the finest of the evening, being a performance of Rodes' Seventh Violin Com-erto by A- N. Rlppard, with full orchestral ac companiment. Mr. Rlppard's Interpre tation of this brilliant number, crowded with technical difficulties, was superb, and his bowing was especially flue. The concerto rails upon the performer for every known form of bowing, all of which was splendidly done. In the slow movement Mr. Rlppard showed great beauty and strength of tone, and the brilliant rondo, which closed the concerto, he played at a very rapid tempo, and executed It with delicacy, but firmness throughout. At the close Mr. Rlppard received a deserved en core, for the music lovers of this city have seldom heard the violin played better than Mr. Rlppard did last eve ning. The first part closed with Schu mann's male chorus "Sonntags am Rheln," sung without accompaniment. The second part opened with a com position by S. L. Laciar, one of the Concordia members, for male quartette and string sextette. The voices wera J. C. Atkin and A. C. Campbell, first tenor; Charles Helfrich and J. R. Ed gar, second tenor; George Kraft and W. A. O'Nlell, first bass; W. E. Wood ruff and J. P. Burns, second bass; and the strings, A. X. Rlppard, first violin; W. P. Rieg, second violin; Professor Pokarney, first viola; F. W. Innes, sec ond viola; T. H. Rlppard, first cello, and S. L. Laciar, second cello. The work was very well received by the audience. It was followed by a mixed chorus without accompaniment, Men dlessohn's "Auf Dem See." and this was In turn followed by Miss Ousaie De Mols, who sang two soprana solos, " "Tis Springtime," by Eohm; and a aereimue, vy evin. .UIS3 ue .UOIS was In excellent voice and sang well. Then came a male chorus, "Ubers Jahr," by Von der Stucken, one of the moat beautiful of the many beautiful choruses the Concordia has ever sung. J. C. Atkin sang "I Think of Thee," by Beethoven, In his usual splendid way, and the concert closed by the "Sang an Aeglr," for male chorus and orcheBtra, words and music being by Kaiser Wil lielm II, of Germany. The male chorus showed splendid training and both the members them selves and Professor Hausen are en titled to great credit for the manner In which they acquitted themselves. The Concordia has never given a better or more successful entertainment than this one. A CONDEMNED VERDICT. The Incotnprehenslblencss of the. Aver age Jury. Seldom has a verdict rendered by a jury been the subject of so much ad verse criticism as has that of murder In the second degree In the case of Hen dricks, charged with the murder of Barney Relck. If the Jury had ac quitted the defendant there might have been disappointment, but In any event public sentiment would have said the Jury thought (there was a doubt of guilt and gave the prisoner the benefit of lit. Such a verdict could have been de fended. Had a verdict of murder In the first degree .been rendered it could have been justified by the evidence. There could not powlbly have existed In this case "the elements or conditions that constitute murder in the second degree. Such a verdict In Indefensible. Barney Relck was lured from his home, led to a secluded spot for the pur pose of robbing him. He was struck a murderous blow and killed. Hen dricks and three others were charged "with the murder. It was a deliberate, cold-blooded, cownrdly murder. When the Jurors retired ten of them were con vinced that a verdict of murder In the flint degreo had been established. Two were In favor of acquittal. After a few hours a compromise on murder in the second degree was reached. Under the circumstances such a verdict is ut terly Indefensible. James Hendricks is either guilty of murder In the first de gree or he Is an Innocent man. ' Deplorable as such miscarriages of Justice are, and they are altogether too frequent, they supply am overwhelming argument In favor of a change in our Jury system that will permit three fourths of the Jurors to render a ver dict. In almost every instance where nuch a travesty upon justice occurs it Is due to one or two men on the Jury, and tco frequently the actuating mo tive of the dissenters is only too ap parent. Unsatisfactory and Indefensible as this compromise verdict Is, it neverthe less vindicates the action of the county commissioners in employing detectives to ferret out the perpetrators of the bloody crime. Morever, this verdict vindicates the Barring and McSweemey detective agency 4n the management of the case. By their verdict the Jury de clare that the evidence secured by the Barring agency established the fact that Hendricks was an active partici pant In the murder of Barney Relck. Thait was all the detectives could be ex pected to do. If the jurors failed in their duty the responsibility rests not upon any one but themselves. The Barring and MoSweeney agency stands Justified and vindicated Just as fully as though a verdict of murder In the first degree had been rendered. The oounty commissioners are vindicated In employing this agency to bring the murderers to Justice after a lapse of fif teen months of failure by the ordinary means. Hendricks has escaped the gallows; lit Is not by any means certain that the other three will, IS QUAY COUNTY DEAD? The Belief Very General That the Dill Cannot Now Puss. The fact that the advocates of the Quay county bill In the legislature feared to risk a vote on that measure on Wednesday has convinced Its op ponents that the bill Is as good as dead. The announcement that I . will be called up on Tuesday or Wednesday Of next week causes no apprehension whatever here, lluzlctonlans here yesterday were very confident In their predictions that the bill will yet pass the house at the present session. They explain the failure to call It up on AVednesday on the grounds that a number or the friends of the measure were unavoid ably absent from their seats, atid as they do nut claim that they have any votes to spare they did not propose to take any risks. "On Tuesday or Wed nesday next," said one. "we will put it through in great shape." If the Quay county bill shall be finally defeated the credit will belong in n much larger measure to the determined efforts of the people of Schuylkill county than to any opposition that has come from Wilkes-ltarre. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT. Serious Charges Against o Man Who llns llccn Grcutly Honored. Yesterday afternoon the Times sprung a great sensation upon the com munity by charging thu,t S. S. Chan, who went to Europe ostensibly on a visit about two months ago, was an embezzler to the amount of $100,000 or more. Chan has been the city ticket agent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company, and also represented a num ber of steamship lines, doing a general business as a ticket agent. The de tails of the alleged embezzlement have not been made public, but there Is lit tle doubt that Chan has been Uolns business In a crooked way. The Timet however, greatly overstates the amount of the defalcation, as the writer of this Is assured 'that he bad no opportunity to appropriate any such amount of money. All the facts will become known In a few days ojid until that time comes The Tribune will be con tent with, a simple announcement that Chau has gone wrong. He has also been very highly respected by every one and was regarded as an honorable and conscientious man by all who had business relations with him. ANOTHER KILLING. Fatal Quarrel Between Two Farmers The Older Kills the Yonngcr. A most deplorable quarrel has for some time existed between Captain James Williams and William Chapman, both of Jackson township. On Wed nesday the two men had an encounter and Williams shot and almostly in stantly killed Chapman. Willtacs Is a man of 63 years, and Chapman about 3S. Immediately after the shooting Williams surrendered himself to 'Squire Atkinson, who committed him to the custody of the township constable, and he was brought to Wllkes-Barre yes terday and confined in the county Jail. Williams claims that he acted in self- defense, that Chapman first struck him on the head with a stone, then Jumped upon him and tried to strangle him. Williams then drew a revolver and fired one shot Into his adversary's abdomen, which speedily proved faital. In sup port of this story Williams shows a bad-looking wound on his head and he claims he was struck with a stone by Chapman. The case Is a most deplora ble one. A Strike at a Mine. Yesterday morning the drivers and car runners at South shaft No. 1 of the Susquehanna Coal company at Nantl coke, inaugurated a strike, and work was at once suspended by Superintend ent Morgan. It appears that nearly a month ago three boys employed at the mine were discharged, all for apparent ly good reasons. On Wednesday night the other boys employed at the mine went to the mine foreman and demand ed the reinstatement of the three dis charged boys, declaring they would all refuse to go to work yesterday morning unless their demand was at once com plied with. Yesterday morning Super intendent Morgan tried reason with the boys, but they would not be rea soned with, so the superintendent or dered themaway and directed the works be closed down. Hundreds of men are thrown out of employment by the ac tion' of these boys. Mr. Morgan says next Monday work will be resumed, but with a different lot of boys as drivers. Broke Ills Wheel. On Wednesday evening about 11 o'clock as a young man was riding down Franklin street on his bicycle at a pretty rapid speed his wheel went into one of the numerous hides In the asphalt, precipitating him to the pave, severely Injuring one of his legs, be sides breaking his wheel. He Is seri ously considering the question of bring ing a suit for damages against the city. It would seem that the least the au thorities should do is to level up those holes In some way, even If It be done only by filling them with ashes or fine cinders. There Is not much doubt that damages could be recovered for in juries sustained as a result of the neg lect Indicated. The Survey Completed. The civil engineers who made the sur vey of the proposed new county of Grow, completed their work on Wednes day evening and returned to their homes yesterday. The commissioners appointed by the governor will how pro ceed to make up their report, and If the facts conform to the requirements of the act of assembly, as to territory and population, the governor will Issue his proclamation, designating a time for holding a special election at which the voters In the territory embraced in the survey will decide for themselves whether or not they desire a new county. .

It begins to look as if the new coun ty bill were ready for a funeral. Two years more of peace will therefore fol low.
