MOiS SLATE VOTED DOWN
Ripple, Widmayer and Williams Get
a Hig Majority of the Delegates.
SOME VEKY LIVELY FIGHTING
It Was Indulged In by the Adherents of
tho RItsI Candidates In Many of
. tho Election Districts
of tbe City.
No primary elections ever held in the
city caused so much Interest as that
of Saturday tol choose delegates to
Tuesday's Republican city convention.
The great vote polled was of Itself an
indication of the deep feeling of the
Republican voters of the city concern
ing the contests.
While a spirited and determined bat
tle was waged all along the line by the
adherents of the Ripple and Molr slates
the result was a most decisive victory
for Colonel E. H. Ripplf, Fred J. Wld
inuyer and Daniel Williams. Of the
seventy-six delegates who are entitled
to seats In Tuesday's convention at
It-ast forty-seven were chosen by the
voters of their districts because they
represented thut if elected thoy would
vote for Colonel Ripple for mayor, Mr.
Widmayer for controller and Mr. Wll
lltims for treusurer In Tuesiluy's con
vention. The South Side made a splendid rec
ord sending a solid delegation for Rip
ple, Widmayer and Williams although
Charles W. Westpfahl, the candidate
for controller on the Molr slate, resides
there and did what lay in his power to
swing at least the delegates of his own
ward, the Ninteenth, into line for the
plate he represented. So confident were
Molr and his friends that they would
make a good showing in that part of
the city that many of the captain's
admirers were willing to wager and did
wager that he would get half the.dele
Ktttes. II Was Not Pleasant News.
Captain Molr. Mr. Westpfahl and
Thomas Davies, the candidate for city
treasurer, received the returns in Cap
tain Moir's tailor shop on Lackawanna
avonue Saturday night. It was a
crushing blow to their hopes when they
heard from the South Side. From the
North End they also received disap
pointing news and the West Hide fur
nished the same kind of Information.
Hume of the hardest fighting of the
day was done in that part of the city.
Thomas Davies lives in the Fifteenth
ward and so do John and H. T. Fellows.
By the hardest kind of work they suc
ceeded In carrying that ward for the
Molr slate but In tho adjoining Fifth
ward where they also expected that
their Influence would be potent they se
cured only two of the eight delegates.
The most cheering news that came to
the Moir heaquarters during the even
ing was that he secured all of the dole
Rates from the Ninth ward where he
lives. From the Seventh, Eighth and
Seventeenth came solid antl-MoIr dele
gations and three of the four delegates
from the Thirteenth ward were the
same kind of antis.
Colonel Hippie and those who battled
with him received returns at the
colonel's office in the Third National
bank building, which was crowded
during the evening with the most rep
resentative Republicans of the city,
who received with applause the returns
as they wore announced by Hon. C. P
O'Malley.
Considering the great and widespread
interest shown In the outcome of the
primaries and the strong feeling that
prevailed at times among the supporters
of the various candidates the election
was very quiet and o. eerly. Following
Is a list of the delegates elected:

Captain Molr Interviewed.
While there has been some talk of an
Independent movement by friends of
the Molr slate Captain Moir himself has
not indicated by word or sign that he
will be a party to such a course. He
was Interviewed last night at his home,
841 Madison avenue, by a Tribune re
porter and In language and demeanor
created an emphatic Impression that he
would not be led by the nose; that
whatever he does will be "according to
the dictates of his own conscience."
- Captain Molr when asked for the truth
of the rumor that he would become the
head of an Independent ticket, laughed
lightly and said:
"I don't know what my course will be
heaping spoonfuls.
but my Inclinations are against such a
have rested nnd passed the day as a
religious man should; so I haven't giv
en the matter careful thought."
He was reminded that the primaries
hail been exciting, that the excitement
hnd not wholly subsided and that some
thing definite) concerning his Inten
tions would be tif special Importance
Just now.
"First of all." he replied. "I am a He
publican and the idea of running an an
Independent Is repugmint to me. How
ever, some queer things happened In
many wards, which, together with no
knowledge on my pnrt of what my
friends have to say, obliges me to say
little until I hear what is said ut to
morrow night's meeting. Then my
course will be decided upon. 1'ntil then
I can suy nothing positive except that
whatever my decision I shall be influ
enced by no person but myself."
"Will you say it is probable that you
will decide to run?"
"No; because my inclination Is ex
actly the contrary."
COMING ATTRACTION'S.
Thomas Q. Seabrooke. who will pre
sent George H. Broadhurst's new com
edy, "The Speculator," at the Academy
of Music this evening, has always been
noted for his selection of pretty girls
for his cast, and in his new venture. In
which he has been so successful, he has
surpassed his former efforts. Misses
Ethel Wlnthrop, Jeannette Lowrle, and
Marion Young form as bewitching a
trio of feminine beauties ns has ever
been seen on the stage together and
hardly a criticism of the play has been
made without a comment on fills fact.
"The Speculutor" deals with life In the
Chicago board of trade, and Mr. oea
brooke has a very congenial role and
one which gives hljn ample opportun
ity for the display of his well-known
versatility. The production Is one of
the few pronounced hits of the season
and Its presentation at the Academy Is
anticipated with unusual Interest.
I! II II
"The Cotton King." Sutton Vane's
latest melodrama, will have Its first
presentation in this city at the Acad
emy of Music tomorrow night. It has a
story of Intense humor Interest Inter
preted by naturally drawn characters
who are typical of the classes they rep
resent, heroic, romantic, pathetic and
humorous. Several of the Incidents are
of the most thrilling character. There
Is a sensation when the ponderous ele
vator car is seen coming down slowly
but surely to FruHh out the life of the
beautiful young heroine, who has been
locked In at the bottom of the well by
the villain of the play, who is bent on
her destruction because of Jealousy and
greed for wealth. The scene in the
calico factory is probably the moot re
alistic ever net upon the English-speaking
stage.
II II II
"Shadows of a Great City," an origi
nal melodrama from the pen of L, R. '
Shewell, will be produced at the Froth
Ingham Wednesday evening. The
whole of the picture ore correct repre
Fentatlnns of actual localities In, and in
the vicinity of New a York. The play
opens In a pawn-broiler's shop near
Catherine market, and the first act In
troduces the audience to the chief char
acters In the play, and creates an In
terest In the seemingly impenetrable
mystery surrounding them. The piece
concludes with a very well painted rep
resentation of Benson, the banker s
mansion, with its hall on the right and
oftUe on the left, and where the shad
ows are dispersed and the clouds drift
awuy. ' The whole of this scenery Is
new, and was painted by J. Howard
Rogers and Gaspard Macder. .
II II II
"There mny be more delightful per
formances than Mr. Edwin Forsberg's.
In Frederic Bryton's 'Forgiven,' " says
the New York Sun, "but If so. It has
not been our good fortune to witness
them. A more interesting uramanc
production as a whole, star, company
and play, would be difficult to imagine.
The audience is fairly carried away
from Itself from the rise of the first to
the fall of the last curtain. 'Forgiven
Is a play that everybody should see and
they will be the better for seeing It. '
Mr. Forsberg will be at the Davis the
ater today, tomorrow! and next day.
Tlir. FENCING MASTER.
Was Creditably produced In the Academy
Saturday Night.
"The Fencing Master," with Miss
Katherlne Gcrmalne In the title role,
was presented to a fair-sized house In
the Academy of Music Saturday night.
The bright, catchy music of the opera
long ago won its way to public appro
val, and the costuming and stage busi
ness of which the piece In capable is
well looked after In the present produc
tion. H. W. Tre Dennick and Arthur Ether
Ington did some clever comedy work
and were many times encored, as was
Miss Gemialne, who appeared to be a
very good student of Marie Temicst.
Others In the cast were Miss Nella Ber
gen. Miss Marlon Langdon, and the
Messrs. H. Arthur Lelblee. It. ',. Tre
Dennick, Arthur Ethertngton and
Harry De Lorme.
GRENADA ANDTIIE ALHA.MBRA

Sanderson at Green Ridge l ibrary.
Next In the series of entertainments
provided for the friends of the Oreen
Ridge library will be the Illustrated de
scription of Grenada and the Alhambra
which will he presented on Tuesday
evening, January 7.
Colonel George Sanderson has pre
pared a most interesting description of
his recent visit to this famous place, nnd
his address will have added Interest
from the fine pictures secured by the
colonel and to be first shown on this oc
casion. While there will be no charge
for admission and all are welcome, a
silver offering will be received at the

KEY. P. I'. MWALLY'S LECTURE
Ha Paid an Uoquent Tribute to tho
Genius of Hntdn-Plnno Solos hy
.Miss lulu Spleske, of
Hartford, t oun.
The second sncred concert under the
auspices of Prof. W. P. Schilling and
St. Peter's cathedral choir was held last
evening in college hall, and the attend
ance was large notwithstanding the
rero weather. The exercises began
promptly at s o'clock.
A programme of ten numbers was
rendered; those who took part were the
members of the choir. Miss Lulu
Spieske. concert nlanist of Hartford.
Conn.; Alfred Wooler.tonorsoloist at the
Elm Park church; the choir of St. Mary's
church. Dunmore; the Scranton Saen
gcrrunde. of the South Side: Miss Sndle
Dougherty, of Dunmore: Miss Lillian
C. A. Hammctt. accompanist, and John
T. Watklns, who kindly consented to
appear Instead of J:. J. Thomas, bass
soloist at the Elm Park church. Mr.
Thomas Is ill and could not be present.
Thi first number on the programme
was rendered by Mrs. W. P. Schilling,
soloist, and tho cathedral choir: the
piece they ssng was "The Marviotts
Work." from Haydn's "Creation." This
was given with a brilliancy that won
merited applause and prepared the au
dience for what was to follow.
Rev. F. P. McNally, assistant priest
at St. Patrick's church. West Side, de
livered a lecture on Haydn. The speaker
said that the great Austrian composer
was grand master of the art oT Instru
mental music. Rev. Father McNally
did not wish to emerge as a critic; he
felt thut he is too great a lover of music
and too earnest a devotee at the shrine
to become a clitic.
.Vnsiothc Whisper of Angels.
The strain of music vibrates through
every human life, but It Is very often
rendered unharmonlous through the
discord of human misery and wrong
and the discordant notes of man's Inhu
manity to man. Music Is the whisper
of the angels and the universal language
of every human heart. The public In
terest In Joseph Haydn centers In his
musical career. He had a very short
childhood; he lived only for music, cared
only for It and his lost regret was that
he could not live longer. He was born
March 31, 1732. und died May 31, 'SOU,
aged 77 years.
His father was a wheelwright. They
lived In the lower confines of Austria,
along the Danube liver, and when Jo
seph was six years of age a friend came
to the house and saw the musical genius
of the boy. An anecdote Illustrative of
the precocity of the youth at that ten
der age was related. This friend took
Joseph with him to town; the day they
arrived there was a procession In honor
of the kintr. At the last moment It was
discovered that the drummer of the
lending band had become 111.
Young Haydn practiced a few hours
on a tub with a meal sack drawn over
It, and when the procession started he
took the drummer's Place and never
once did he get off time in his beating
of the drum. He was so small that a
hunchback had to be got to carry the
drum for him.
At the age of eight years he went to
St. Stephen's cathedral at Vienna and
sang In the choir until he was eighteen,
when his voice gave way and there was
no further use for him. He was an out
cast, hungry and penniless on the strets
of Vienna after losing this position. A
friend came to his nssitnnce and gave
him temporary relief, ftut Haydn mude
up his mind that determination, perse
verance and hard study would encom
pass his uuccess as a composer.
Ilcglnnlng of III Troubles.
His mother wanted to see htm study
for the priesthood, but his father was
opposed to a religious life for the young
man. In his twenty-eighth year he
married and that was the saddest epi
sode in his career; then all his troubles
began. He had fallen in love with a
young lady whose Ideal was above the
things of this world. She had begun to
prepare herself for the cloister and she
did enter It. Her father, not wishing
to losu such a genius as Haydn for a
son-in-law, persuaded him to marry the
oldest daughter of the family.
He did so and she turned out to he a
very unlovable wife; her ambition was
to squander all her husband's money.
They spent forty years of miserable ex
istence together and she died in 1800.
The oratorio, "Creation." is what
Haydn's fame rests upon. He wrote it
in eighteen months. Handel wrote his
"Messiah" In twenty-eight days. Haydn
was slxty-tlve years of age when lie
started on his great work. The speaker
closed his lecture on the great com
poser with a noble tilbute to his re
ligious qualities, that in lls niusla
sparkles of devotion are always shin
ing. The audience was next treated to two
delightful piano selections by Miss
r'pleske. Her first was Chopin's "Noc
turne:" op. 15, No. 2: and the second
was Mozkowskl's "Melodic;" op. 10,
No. 1. Her playing evinced the touch
of a skilled pianist and the even and un
failing correctness of time.
Solcctlon hy tho Choir.
The choir of St. Mary's church, Dun
more, under the direction of Peter
Peuser sang the "Gloria" from Lejeal's
fourth mass. The solo singing of Miss
Kate Mongan, Boprano. and Miss Sadie
Dougherty, alto, deserves special men
tion. Miss Mongan possesses a voice of
great volume, well controlled and of
much sweetness. Miss Dougherty has
a splendidly modulated alto voice and
uses It with nne enecr. rne cnorus
singing of the choir wns well done and
the rendition of the "Gloria" was one
of the best features of the concert.
The Scranton Saengerrunde next sang
a male chorus, entitled, "Am Amersee."
They received hearty applause. Alfred
Wooler sang Dudley Rudt's "Fear not
ye, O, Israel!" and did the number full
Justice. John T. Watklns sang "O,
Jesu me!" In his usual splendid style.
Miss Spleske played Chopin's "Kolon
nlse;" op. 63, No. 7. Miss Sadie Dough
erty Bang "Oh, Rest In the Lord.'" from
Handel's "Elijah," and the concert con
cluded with "The Lord In Great," from
the "Creation." This was sung by
Mes'ff. Watklns and Wooler. Mr?.
Schilling and the cathedral choir.
GREAT ICE-MAKING WEATHER
.Mercury Hovered Near the Zero Mark All
of Yesterday.
The weather prophets In Washing
ton have risen several points In the es
timation of a frozen but delighted pub
He. The dear public wanted "some
cold weather" and It got It.
Last night with the thermometer
threatening to burst Itself at 10 o'clock
at 6 degrees above zero, it was officially
predicted from Washington that there
would be a gradual rising temperature.
Since Thursday the government prog
nostications were fulfilled to the letter.
Friday it grew colder and it snowed
during the night. Saturday It was
colder and colder, and yesterday morn
ing and night there was xero weather.
At 7 o'clock yesterday morning the
mercury registered only 2 above. Dur
ing the day there was a change, the reg
istry fluttering from 10 to 15 until 6
o'clock when, as If with deliberate In
tent to give the country the freeze It
longed for, there was a drop, which
stopped at 4 degrees above sero at 11
o'clock. The registration was about
the same at 2 o'clock this morning, at
which time everything indicated a ful
fillment of the prediction that today
will witness a gradually rising tem
perature. North of Scranton among the rolling
bills of Susquehanna county, there was
a baby blizzard Saturday night and
the same Is true of the Pocono region,
in each of these sections the cold. too.
was much more severe than In this
protected valley.
SCRANTON ftlRIAS SAD DEATH.
Gusaie Roscncrnnt Sacrificed Her i.ifo to
Save llcr Reputation.
There Is considerable speculation rife
here over the death In New York on
Friday of Gusslu Rosenkranz from
criminal operation, and her dying dec
laration that A. S. Cleveland, a commis
sion merchant of No. 11 Lackawanna
avenue, cuuscd her ruin, interest Is
added to the case by the fact that Mr.
Cleveland is a well-known Scranton
business man Hnd denies the relations
with the young woman who was his
typewriter. She was twenty-two or
twenty-three years old.
The girl left Scranton December 19
after telegraphing her sinter ut Beech
Pond. Wayne county, that she was go
ing to New York, where she immediate
ly went for trentment at the establish
ment of Mrs. Eliza Landau, a midwife,
at 122 East Forty-first street. She left
the house Monday of Christ mus week
apparently well nnd went to the home
of her uncle, William N. Van Sickle, nt
No. 12 West Fifteenth street, where she
died on Friday from Septic poisoning
and peritonitis.
Statement Mndo to Recorder Thonrout.
To Recorder Thou rot, who had been
summoned by Dr. E. C, Armstrong, of
515 Fulton street. West New York, the
girl dictated an affidavit that Mrs. Lan
dau had performed three operations up
on her and that Mr. Cleveland had
ruined her. She wns too weak to sign
her name to the document.
The warrant Issued for the arrest of
the midwife was served at 4 o'clock
Saturday morning as she was attempt
ing to escape from the basement door
of her house. She Is well-known to the
New York police, having been several
times arrested but always managing
to escape punishment. In her apart
ments were once fo.ind the bodies of two
infants) under a sink and a dying baby
In a bed. When she was arraigned in
the Yorkvllle police court Saturday, Mr.
Van Sickle, the dead girl's uncle ap
peared as complainant. The midwife
said she had never seen Miss Vtosen
kranz but she was held by Magistrate
Mott in default of $5,000 ball for exam
ination today.
Mr. Cleveland denies absolutely the
charge made against him by Miss Ro
senkranz in her dying statement.
Graduate uf I Initio Business Collcte.
Miss Rosenkranz was a graduate of
tho Elmlra Business college und after
completing the course about two yours
ugo she rume to this city to accept a
position as Mr. Cleveland's typewriter.
He Is a married man and she boarded
at his home on Rock street. West Side.
She was a tall, beautiful young woman,
well educated and during the time Bho
has been In the city made a host of
friends to whom the news of her death
In New York was a most unpleasant
shock.
Mr. Cleveland came to this city about
three years ago from Elmlra and en
gaged In the commission business at 11
Lackawanna avenue where ho Is still
located. His relatives in Elmlru are
prominent andjyeH-to-do people.
TWO WARD CAUCUSES.
Held by the Voters of the Sixth and the
. First Wards.
