ni:mii:iM-ki irii coxtfm r.
The Hcrbert-Kelth-Coiiant cctirert In
111? 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.

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

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

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.
The two caskets were carried down
the main aisle and deposited before the
main altar. To the south of the main
aisle sat the society members, who

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
