Something like 00 loaves of bread, made from "Granite" Hour, were given away as souvenirs. Music was furnished in the evening by the Luybourn orchestra, consisting of James Laybourn, Joseph Laybourn, Walter Luybourn, James Hartnctt, und Miss Katie Sultry as pianist. The Store company spared neither time nor money to make their opening a success, und surely such courteous treatment us was shown their many visitors, yesterday Is deserving of recognition by the public, CAFFREY HAS GONE.

Young Men's Christian Association hall last night was heard bv as fashiona ble an auditory as has fathered In the city during the winter. The r.m.ihf-r nn-a. em occupied nearly all tho seats In the large room. Whatever In the wuy of com pliment may have been indicated by the iiuiny aim quantity or tne audience, the toKcn wus deserved, unit the three art at x by their very Hi'tistic und comprehensive treatment of their parts certainly be stowed as great a compliment upon their listeners as the listeners did unon lh, ariisis. Such performers ns Messrs. Herbert and Keith If criticised favorably or otherwise sic eniiueii 10 more man casual com ment and the same applies to Mr. Conunt but in referring to their work In the lim ited space of u newspaper article they should be given credit for the statement that any or all of them deserved to have Decn neuru hy rrltltpies or capability. Herbert showed his usual great resource ami versatility and drew from his 'cello all the many qualities shown in the man's iiiterureiaiion 01 tne music. Ills mini hers were especially varied In feeling ami were ns lounws: "p'utitaisie cnara teristlaue." by Servais: the "Herceuse. from "Joelyn," by Godard, und a serenade by Plerne; "In Dreamland," from "The vtizuru or tne a lie," nis own compose tion, and a mazourka by Popper, Mr. Keith was in splendid voice. Crltl clsed as a baritone he Is nevertheless a tenor-ronusto or such even blending that one is slow to notice its range, which Is really remarkable. In qualities which make a great artist, his voice seems neat ly perfect. He sang the aria "Senza Tet to. Senza Cuna." from II Guaranv. bv Gounod; a rtlple number, (a) "A Song of Soloman," by Wood, (b) "Noel," by. Adam, and "Sancta Maria," by Faure, and "Eas ter Eve," by Oounod, with an obllgato by .Mr. Herbert. Mr. Conant'a performances were more than splendid. As a pianist and though not so great an artist as Herbert, a enti clsm of the latter might be applied to the former by using the word piano Instead of 'cello. Mr. Conant's great breadth of feeling and sensitive or robust execution have always made his playing masterful. In last nlght'B audience were some who could appreciate the real merit .of his playing. His wur a rare combination of naturulness and honest execution, blended with such skill as to charm the real mu sic student. He played: (a) "Warum? and (b) a serenade, each by Schumann, snii mi tuyi anu to) "poem, ' by Mao Dowell. The concert was arranged by Mrsf G Du Hols plmmick. . Dr. Hipcs1 Lecture.

SWKENKY NOT PLEASED. A derisive laugh from Mr. Sweeney greeted the rending of the name ns chairman of the committee on collec tor's accounts, out of the twenty chair manships the Hepubllcans were given seven. The Nealis faction got nine of the ehalrmunshtps, aiK'h as they were. Mr. Nealis. as It was announceu ne would, resurrected the viaduct move ment by Introducing a resolution call ing on the city engineer for plans and estimates for a viaduct to extend from Sevnnth street to Nealis court. The resolution passed without discussion. The same member also Introduced the necessary legislation looking to the Im provement of Koblnson street, anu me paving of Jackson, Robinson and Ninth streets w ith llelgliui PlocK. j nese measures were referred to the streets and bridges committee. An ordinance to purchase tile lanu of E. J. MeCormlck, necessary for the opening of Wyoming avenue; an ordin ance for paving Mahon court; an" ordin ance for three electric lights In the Nineteenth ward and a resolution call ing for plans for opening Seventh, in the Eighteenth ward, to Meridian street, in the Fifth ward were Intro duced. A resolution granting to X illlam Kder the privilege of using certain hydrants for the purpose of supplying his street sprinkling carts passed com mon council but was held un in select council where Mr. Roche had It refer red to a committee for Investigation. Mr. Zeldler In common with his col league, Mr. Schroeder. in select, suc ceeded In getting a resolution passed directing the street commissioner to re- pave with cobble stone portions of Oak- ford and Raymond courts, the expense of the same to come out of the gen eral appropriation for repairs of stone, wood and block pavements. The meas ure met with some opposition from members who believed that the money should come out of the ward appropria tion. A resolution requesting the chair to reappoint a special committee on Ab- Ington turnpike came over from select council and was concurred In. A com munication from City Solicitor Torrey recommending the settlement of the claim of A. C. Cooley on the basis of :!00 damages resulting front the grad lug of Tenth street, was referred to committee. SELECT COUNCIL MEETING. Ordinance Introduced Giving Power to Remove Street Obstructions. As a result of the Frothtngham por tico dispute, which brought out the fact that the city laws are weak or ambigu ous In the matter of street obstructions. a new and sweeping ordinance cover ing the ground was last night Intro duced in select council by Mr. Finn. The measure was drafted by Mr. Finn himself and reviewed arid approved by City Solicitor Torrey. It provides without uny room for argument thut the street commissioner can remove, by force ir legTsTatlon fails, any thing on or nbove the streets or sidewalks which in bis judgement Is an obstruction. The full text of the ordinance fdllows "Be It ordained by the select and common councils of the city of Scran ton that It shall be unlawful hereafter for any person or persons to place, keep, maintain or continue any obstruction or obstructions of any character what ever upon or over the streets, side walks or highways or any of them within the limits of this city for which no legal authority has previously been oblulned; and any person or persons violating the provisions of this ordln ance who shall fall to remove such ob structlons Immediately upon notice of the street commissioner shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con vlction thereof, before the mayor or anv alderman of the city ,shall be made to pay a fine of not less than $10 or more than $100, and in default of payment of such fine to undergo an Imprisonment for such time as shall be fixed by the magistrate, not exceeding thirty days. "The maintenance of any such ob struction for the period of ten days af ter any conviction therefor shall consti tute a new offense, punishable as before stated. After conviction under this ordinance before the mayor or any al derman of the city, the street commis sioner Is hereby empowered to forcibly remove the obstruction or obstructions by reason of which the said conviction was obtained, and In so doing he shall receive such assistance as Is necessary from the police. All ordinances or parts of ordinances Inconsistent here with are hereby repealed." REFERRED FOR PRINTING. There was no discussion, the ordin ance, under the rules, being referred for printing. The Idea of establishing a big public park on No. 5 mountain was launched by Mr. Chittenden. The Scranton Gas and Water company has purchased a large tract of land In the neighborhood of the old burnt dam as a water shed for Its new reservoir. It Is of no use to the company save as a water shed, and with this fact In mind It occurred to Mr. Chlttendo.i that pos sibly the corporation which has done so much to rive Scranton an unsur- passed, probably unequalled, water supply, would ko farther and make con cessions whlih would give the rlty a magnificent park. There could be no harm In Inquiring, he thought, ao In tioduced a resolution requesting; the park commissioners to Interview the officials of the Gas and Water company on the subject and report to councils. The resolution was heartily approved. The matter of unsightly streets also received attention from Mr. Chitten den. He called attention to the fact that everywhere throughout the central city, particularly on upper Lackawan na avenue, the streets can not be kept clean because the merchants persist in littering the pavements with paper, sweepings and other refuse and to put a stop to these practices he Introduced a resolution directing the street com missioner to rigidly enforce th law bearing upon this matter. The same member also introduced a resolution to put a stop to the practice of sprink ling asphalt pavements, which he al leges Is detrimental to its life, for by keeping it constantly wet it will the more rapidly wear out. The tlrst communication from the new mayor, containing an appointment was received last night. In It he sub mitted for confirmation the names of Bernard Martin and William Dough erty as inspectors of the several lateral sewers about to be commenced in the Thirteenth ward. At the request of Colonel Sand "son, Martin's nomination was confirmed t-.rthwlth, as one of the sewers which he Is to oversee Is to be commenced today. Dougherty's ap pointment went to committee, as is customary under the rules. Controller Edmund J. Robinson also sent in a communication, the first sub mitted by him to councils. He called attention to the fact that the estimates committee failed to make any appro priations for the repair of engine houses and advised that il.ouo be transferred for this purpose from the fund for feeding fire department, which on ac count of an unexpected balance of last year has to its credit 11,788.67. out of which $1,000 can be easily spared. The communication was referred to com mittee. SETTLING THE CASES. Mrs. Mllcah Davles has a suit against the city for $125 for damages sustained by reason of the grading of Twelfth street. She Is willing to settle for $u, Josephine Fellows, of Tenth street, has a damage claim of $75 which she agrees to oult for 15. City Solicitor Torrey communicated these facts and asked authority to settle the cases and coun cil gave him the desired authorization Among the new measures Introduced were: An ordlnunee for narrowing Mulberry street, between Wyoming and Jefferson avenues; a resolution calling for plans for grading Cedur avenue, between Genet and Hrook streets; a resolution calling for plans for a terra cotta pipe drain 'on Hampton street between Main avenue and Tenth street; a resolution for three fire hyd rants in the Tenth wurd: a resolution calling for plana for a culvert on Bloom avenue, at Its Intersection with Wur ren and Cayuga streets; an ordinance appropriating ?300 for repairs of the East Mountain road In the Twelfth ward. ' The contract for tearlnir down and removing the old house on tife site of the Nav Aug Engine house was award ed to Murray & UlTmore, they having offered to give the city $0 for the prlv liege. The contract for grading Myrtle street, between Washington and Qulncy avenues, was awarded to the same parties, their price being 21 centa per cubic yard. For constructing the lateral sewer on Wheeler avenue, between Mulberry and Vine street, P. F. Mulligan wants $2.35 per lineal foot. The latter firm pro. posed to construct the Webster avenue sewer, between Myrtle and Ash streets for $1.51 per lineal foot. The bids were referred. The annual report of the city treas urer and city engineer were read and referred for printing. Ordinances for a permanent man fur the Reliefs and an other for the Nagaras passed first and second readings, as did also the ordin ance for paving Spruce street, between Franklin and Wyoming avenues. PATHETIC INCIDENT. Funeral of the Brothers Killed in the Pine Hrook Shaft. A pathetic Incident was yesterday's double funeral of Richard and John Gaughan, the two brothers who met in stunt death while at work In the Pine Hrook mine Tuesday. The funeral took place In St. Peter's cathedral to which the procession, led by two hearses, two carriages containing as many sets of pall-bearers and two carriages of flowers, each driven side by side, de parted at ! o'clock from the home of the deceaseds parents on Fourth street. Richard, the elder, had been mar ried but u few months, and John wus to have been wedded next week. Last week their sister was married. The drum corps of St. Leo's Battalion headed the procession, which contained the members sf the Pine Hrook Mine Accidental fund and St. Peter's Total Abstinence society, of both of which the brothers had been members. The pall-bearers were members of the fore going organizations. Those for the el der brother from the Accidental fund were William S. Davis, Wlllinm Gabe, James Sweeney, W. J. Williams, John C. Collins and Michael Kelly. The pall bearers for John Uaughan were from St. Peter's society, and were Thomas Cummlngs, John McDonough, Michael Collins, Domlnlck Curran, John Galla gher and Thomas Noone.

To the south of the main aisle sat the society members, who filled all that seating space, and the other sldeeof the aisle was occupied by uurners nd-friendiH Rev. J. A.

CORONER'S INQUEST WAS HELD There la No Talk of Arresting Yonag Ka.a.-Th. Shooting Was Purely Acaideutal-Funeral Tomorrow Afieraoos at 3 O'clock. Rudolph MyerhofTer. the x-oung bar ber of Dunmore, who was accidentally shot Wednesday afternoon by Thomas Ituane. died at 1.2j yesterday morning without having recovered conscious ness from the time the fatal bullet en tered his brain. lrs. Murphy. Drown and W inters, of Dunmore, trephined the skull at 10.20 Wednesday night and they found the lead lodged close to the bone on the opposite side of the head to the point where it had entered. Its removal was of but little advantage, for its course had been directly through the nerve center and there was no hope of saving the barber's life. Coroner S. P. Longstreet went up yesterday morning and empanelled a Jury; they viewed the remains, watched the coroner hold an autopsy In which he was assisted by Dr. K. M. Penny packer, and adjourned until 8 o'clock in the evening to hear the testimony of Thomas Kuane, who did the shooting, and the other companions who were present In the barbershop at the time and were witnesses of it. YOUNG RUANE'S STORY. The hearing took place In the council chamber of the borough hall on Blake- ly street. Thomas Kuane was called first. Before hearing him. Dr. Long- street advised that the whole truth be told and nothing held back. Ruane is about 20 year's old; his mother Is a widow, Mrs. John Ruane, and lives on Potter street. He spoKe with tearful utterance, and told that he and Michael Kelley were going by the barber simp. Myerhoffer called them In and told them he would shoot with them for fun or anything they wanted. As they en tered he took the revolver from one of the pigeon holes ahead of him, and seating himself In the chair snapped it twice, remarking that It was no good. He handed It to the witness, who snapped It, and off It went. Ruane was standing directly behind the chair nnd the bullet entered the back of Myerhoffer's head near the right ear. Ruane said he didn't know It was loaded and pulled the trigger. They had been warm friends and were to gether the day before shooting at a tar get with the same revolver. Thomas rniibin was next sworn, lie was sitting In the barber shop and saw Ruane and Kelley go by the shop. The deceased called "them back and wanted to shoot with them for anything they wished to put up. The witness de scribed the handling of the revolver In precisely the same manner ns Ruane did, and also the way the fatal shot was fired. RUANE CORROBORATED. John Connolly was sitting In the shop when the two young men were called In by the deceased. He heard the lat ter say that the revolver was no good when it was handed to Ruane. Martin Coolican, who had just been shaved by the deceased, heard Ruane and Kel ley come In In response- to a call from the barber; but he was reading a news paper when the shot went off and was not watching toward the chair. Mrs. Smith, a half sister of the de ceased, ,was the last witness. Thomas Phllbin ran into her house, which Is next door to the barber shop, ufter the happening and told her. She came In and saw- the deceased lying on the Jloor. At her request John Connolly hurried for Rev. M. B. Don Inn. She testified that Ruane and the deceased were friends, and- that they had been shooting together the day before. The verdict of the Jury was as fol lows: "We, the undersigned Jurors, find that Rudolph Myerhoffer came to his death from the effects of a pistol shot wound, accidentally Inflicted by Thomas Ruane." C. E. Daniels, P. D. Manley, W. J. Coslello, G. V. Jones, A. A. Krotzer and H. H. Winters. There is no talk at all about arresting Ruane. FUNERAL TOMORROW. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services will be conducted at the house by Rev. P. C. Christ, pastor of St. Mary's German church, South Side. Interment will be made in Petersburg Catholic cemetery. THE FOUNTAIN HEAD FOR FASHIONABLE MILLINERY. 1 1 lu unlit "thai', la - .. . ,.. , , . ... - ' ' ' ' .a "win a 1 inn IUI.
