The first of this season's standard .jouise-cf entertainments by the Young den's Christian association was given ast evening by the Mozart Symphony ,'oncert company. The opening concert A as a success In several respects. The attendance was large, nearly every scat In the hall being; occupied. Socially It was of Importance also many of the city's elite being present, which argurs well fur the succeeding entertainments. The Instrumental music was quite varied In the character of the selec tions, the composers chosen from and the styles of instruments. Perhaps the composers were too numerous, a more limited partiality might have given greater satisfaction. A novel feature of the concert pro gramme was the introduction of the viola d'amour and the viol da Uuuba instruments of historic Interest, since their use in the orchestra dutcs from the seventeenth century and are now rarely In voeue. The Roman triumphal trumpet, which inspired the breasts of many a Roman soldier on his return from vic torious war was seen and heard for the first time by many last night. Herr Theodore Hoch was the performer upon this instrument. He gave sever al trumpet rails, the emperor'B salute and concluded with a grand rendition of the "Star Spansled Hanner." Miss Marie Louise Ciumaer was the contralto soloist. She had two num bers on the programme, "The Holy City" and the "Gypsies," and respond ed to an encore each time. Her voice was powerful and withal very pleas ing on account of her excellent pow ers of modulation. VOU.NQ WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH. Miss Annie Fancy I'scd Kerosene Oil with Terrible Effect.

Dug can, of the Associate. Charities, 'Two of ThenjWere Blacksmiths and the Others Were Itmplores of the Street Dcpartmeat or Contractor. Doing Work for That Dcpartmeat. The Latter Testified Begradginglr The prosecution has about finished its testimony in the Kinsley Investigation, and at the next session it is likely that the defense will be heard. The evi dence adduced last night was for the most part to discredit the testimony of witnesses at the previous session. Harry R. Kinsley was first called. In answer to Mr. Newcomb's question he stated that he had not brought along Ills personal account book, which at the lust Bitting he agreed to produce to show, who hud worked for him and how long they worked, in explaining why he had not carried out his agreement he said that the book contained per sonal matters that do not uertaln to the Investigation, and which he does not wish to have paraded before the public. He had, however, refreshed his memory by consulting this account book, and was prepared to give more accurate information on the subjects Inquired about. Eugene ltlnehart worked for him one or two months, beginning August, 1S95. He also worked for him at various times later on. Louis Hardenberg. who had formerly been In his father's employ, also worked for him about this time. Witness did not know the present whereabouts of either of them. Henry Slebring also worked for him, driving a cart for several days. Could not tell just. when this was. hen Mr. Newcomb reiterated his question as to why he had changed his mind about producing his account book, witness answered very tartly that he didn't consider thnt any of Mr. New comb's business. Mr. Newcomb, how ever, did make It his business, and elicited the Information that witness had not consulted his father or any of his father's attorneys about refusing to produce the book. As to the account in Matthews Hrothers feed store, wit ness would not sweur positively that It was In his name. It might be in his father's name, but he always paid the bills. The team to which he testified being the possessor of he reiterated, was giv en to him by his father. He supposed the team wan given to him that he might make some money with it. Emmet Peet was recalled, and In an swer to Mr. Newcomb's questions, stated that he was born in Lynn, Au burn township, Susquehanna county. nnd that his father s name was W. H. Peet. He admitted that A. B. Green and William F. Ross did all the shoe ing of the team which he bought from O. It. Kinsley, and that the work was always charged to Mr. Kinsley, as the shoeing of the horses was Included in the $.12 a month which he paid Mr. Kinsley for the care and keeping of his team. A. B. Green, one of the horse shoers referred to, was called, and stated that Harry It. Kinsley had an account with him a month or two ago. Peet and Ramsey both had their horseshoeing charged to C. R. Kinsley. He agreed to bring his account books to the next Besslon. E. M. Ramsey, whose . account on the street commissioner's pay roll fig ured no extensively in the proceedings of the previous seBslon was next sworn. He testified that he now lives at 107 New York street. He lived in this city "on and off at different times." The lust time he came here was In June, IS!):.. "Where did you come from?" "Well, you might say, from all over." "From all over, eh? Then you are a sort of a Weary Willie?" I don't know about that. I am what is called tC transient man." "Where dhl you live Just prior to your coming here In June, 1895?" "I came here from New Jersey, June, 1X95, before Mr. Kinsley was appointed street commissioner, and I didn't know anything about It. I didn't have any correspondence with Mr. Kinsley for six months before coming here." Mr. Newcomb also brought out that Ramsey went to board on Marlon street one block from the Kinsley residence when he first came here. He went to work soon afterward as a foreman of the sewer gang. He worked during the months of February and March and part of April In the present year, driv ing Harry Kinsley's team. He worked with his own team after that. HE BOUGHT A TEAM. Witness was Idle from December, ISM. until June, 1895, the date he came here. He became the owner of a team a couple of dnys after reaching Scran ton. Bought It of Mr. Kinsley for :M0, with the agreement that Mr. Kinsley would . board and keen It for $32 a month. At the time the team was at work on a !rlvate contract cutting through Electric avenue, near the Oral school and as it was needed badly there Mr. Kinsley paid hint S:l a day for the use of It for a little time. He refused to tell where he got the money with which he purchased the team. He pnld $100 down and the balance In in stallments. Never took any receipt or gave any note. Didn't know to whose account the shoeing was chafged. His brother. Walter Ramsey, drove the team for the most part and generally lind them shod. Supposed it was chnvged to one of the Kinsleys. His brother left his employ last April and since then James Mackle has been driving for him. The first teum work he did for the city was In August, 1895. He did not keep the time of his team. He explained that his name appeared on the pay roll in some places ns Edward Ramsey and in others as E. M. Ram sey, for the reason that wherever his team Is given credit the time was kept by Mr. Kinsley as Mr. Perigo, who knew him simply as Ed., and where his name appeared as foreman, he kept the time himself and the Initials "E. M." were usea, oecause ne always signed his name thnt way. In accounting for being credited with forty or fifty days a month he ex plained that he got paid for his team, which his brother drove and also drew pay for bossing the sewer gang. Ho admitted that he talked with Mr. Kins ley and Mr. Perigo about the case since the investigation began, but did not discuss it at any great length. He also explained that he bought the team from Mr. Kinsley with the inten tion of workins for P. S. Page.on a railway that was being constructed in Throon. After working there three or four days he! quit through fear of ar rest from the borough authorities for tearing up the streets and coming back to Mr. Kinsley he asked for and was given employment. WALTER RAMSEY SWORN. Walter Ramsey, a brother of the pre ceding witness, testified that he came here July 22, 1895. lie worked for his brother, Ed., until April 1, 1896, when he got a team of his own, which he bought from Mr. Kinsley for $400, pay ing $200 down and promising to pay the balance. No receipt was taken, or note given. Could not tell partly how much of a balance was left unpaid, hut could find out by asking his wife, who had a good head for such things. He also keeps his team in Mr. Kinsley's narn, paying t.tz a montn ror care and keeping, Including shoeing and repairs to wagon. William F. Ross, the other black smith In the case, was called next. He would) not admit that he told Mr. Newcomb the other day In his .nop that .he had only one charge of horse shoeing against Harry Kinsley, and that that was made recently. He would bring his books to the next ses sion. Mrs. W. B. Puggan, agent or the As sociated Charities, testified that aha secured work front Street Commission er Kinsley (or John Hollands in Jan uary. 1896. William P. Peterman, of E20 Marlon street, was called to throw some light on the grading of Wyoming avenue, between Green Ridge and Delaware street, which was done in October, 1895, but he had no recollection of it, and seemed utterly at a loss to know .why he had been called. "We understood you knew something about that work, that's all," said Mr. Newcomb. Arthur La Bar. of 614 New street, formerly of 808 Cedar avenue, came here In November of last year from Wyalusing, Bradford county. Began working for the city on May 6, 1896, as a laborer. Went to work for Harry Kinsley two or three months ago. Harry Kinsley pays him. Jacob lietcher created a laugh by answering with one breath "717 Stone avenue. Nineteenth ward. Third dis trict," when asked where he lived. He was there to give the committee de tails and exact details at that. He worked one vear as a laborer on he city streets on Sept. G last, went to work for Harry Kinsley, driving two carts. This he managed to do by driv ing one while the other Is being load ed ut a sewer basin. He could not account for his being credited with 49 7-1U days in September. LA BAR COULD NOT SAY. Arthur La Bar was recalled but his menpry, he said, was very bad and he could not fix any particular month as the time when he began working for Harry Kinsley. Mr. Newcomb had no other wit nesses present, and as Mr. Kinsley's attorneys were not prepared to go ahead with their explanations adjourn ment was made until next Tuesday evening. Mr. Burns said that two sessions at the most would be enough for his side, after they had a chance to go over the testimony and pick out the things that might need explaining. TRIED TO TAKE HIS LIFE. Rash Deed of Twenty Ycar0ld Daniel O'Malley, ol 525 Eynoa Street. Hacked Himsell with a Knife. Daniel O'Malley, 20-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James D. O'Malley. of C25 Eynon street, attempted to commifl suicide at 3 o clock yesterday morning by slashing his throat with a sharp knife. If It had not been for the In terference of Michael Kelley, O'Malley would In all probability have succeed ed in taking his life. As it is, he is In a critical condition at his father's house, with an Inch and a half gash In his neck below the right ear. Drink is the cause of self-assault. Kelley and the reckless young man share the same bed at 525 Eynon street. For the past couple of weeks O'Mal ley, It Is said, has been drinking heav ily, and he was in a state If irrespon sibility when he went to lad late Monday night. About 3 o'clock In the morning Keilev heard O'Malley jump out of bed and In a moment O'Malley had jabbed himself in the throat with a knife blade. , Before the Becond blow could be struck Kelley had O'Malley on the floor and after a struggle the knife was taken from his grasp. He was placed in bed and Dr. L. H. Gibbs was called. The physician announced that the wound was not necessarily fatal, and that In ail llklihood O'Malley will re cover. Theyoung man's parents could noi, explain why their son had attempt ed his life. O'Malley worked In the mines. DEATH OF CAPTAIN CONNOR. Served with Distinction Dnrmg the War of the Rebellion. Captain William T. Conner, aged 62 years, died yesterday morning at the Moses Taylor Hospital after an Illness of several weeks. He was born at Mauch Chunk, and when the war broke out he enlisted and became captain of Com pany I, of tht; Eighty-first Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. At Fredericksburg he was shot through the lungs, and his brother, Eli T. Connor, was killed at Fair Oaks. His half brother, Lieutenant Abbot met death at Malvern hill. Captain Con nor's death was due to the wounds he received during the war. He is surviv ed by his wife and five children. One of them is Dr. C. E. Connor. FIRE FROM AN UNKNOWN CAUSE. Destroyed n House on May Street, Providence I.nst Night. At 10.30 last night a fire broke out in a house on Mary street, Providence, owned bv David Lewis, of olyphant, and occupied by Martin Ruane. There are no water mains In that part of the city, and nothing could be done to stay the nrogress of the Humes. The building and Its contents were soon reduced to a heap of ashes. There was no one In the house at the time the (Ire was discovered, and the cause of it is a profound mystery. All of Ruane's household effects were destroyed. The total loss on building and furniture is about $1,200 and it is partially covered by Insurance. Itodgn Pulley Patents Sustained. Our readers will recall a spirited controversy which took place a few yearn ago between the Scranton Supply and Machinery comnany and a hard ware house In this city, relative to the validity of the patent of the Dodge Independence Wood Split pulley. We are advised that a sweeping decision by Judge Sage, of the t'nlted States Circuit court at Cincinnati, has Just been handed down" broadly sustaining the Dodge and Phillion patent, cover ing Interchangeable bushing system and compression fastening. As a large number of wood split pulleys are In use in this neighborhood this decision will, no doubt, prove Inter esting to many of our readers. Junior Republican Club.

TWO OF THE MEN EXPECTED TO DIE A Loaded Car of Coal Was Smashed as If II Were Hade of Frail Material. Doors and Cros.-Cot Walls Blown DowaThomas P. Williams, of Ilolli.ter Avenue, and His Laborer, a Prlceburg Hungarian, Are the Two Worst Darned. Eight men were burned in an ex plosion of gas, two of them so se riously that the chances for their re covery are slight, at 12.45 yesterday afternoon In Storrs' shaft. No. 1, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West em, In Priceburs. The names of the men and other facts connected with them are as follows: THOMAS P. WILLIAMS, of Holll.ter avenue, this city, miner, 30 years old. wife ami two children; head arms, back and chest terribly burned: will die. JOHN PIMTCl'. of Prlceburg, laborer for Williams, 2 years old. unmarried 1. face and arms roasted; not expected to recover. ACGl'ST SMITH, of Prlceburg, GO years old tracklayer, wife and grown-up family; lace and hands burned, will recover. GEO HUE SMITH, of Prlceburg, 21 years old, son of the former, tracklayer's helper: unmarried: face and hands burned- will recover. MATTIiEW HOKKICK. of Prlceburg. 3u years old, miner; wife and three chil dren; face and arms burned; will re cover. PIEncil JACKSON, of Prlceburg. 53 years old, miner; widower with no family; face and hands severely hurneii. JOHN OKINKA, of Prlceburg, 40 years old, Polish, miner; wife and three children, face and JjiiiUs badly burned. JOHN SOLI XS KEY, of Prlceburg, 7 years old, Polish, laborer for Orinlu; unmarried; face ami hands slightly burned; will recover. A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. That the eight were not roasted to death is regarded as a mystery. The explosion was of such dimensions that it smashed a loaded car into small fragments and scattered the coal In It with the speed of the wind; It broke down three doors across the gangway rokd and mude short work of them; it swept the rock walls out of five cross cuts Just as If they had never been built; and hundreds of feet away It knocked down men working in the same vein, while in the Diamond vein, which is 64 feet above, the shock was very plainly felt. Thomas Williams, the first named of the elsht, and the one who was the worst burned sot off the gas. He went after a tie or a piece of timber front his own chamber into an old working adjoining and isnltetl a large body of gas which had accumulated by reason of some one's leaving a door open and thereby disarranging the air current. H happened in the 14-foot vein which Is the lowest vein, being worked. The tier of coal In this vein Is separated into two slips, and at some points they are separated 40 feet, and then again they run together In one large vein. Where they separate one slip is about 8 feet thick, and the other 6. About 900 feet from the foot of the shaft these slips are separated so fnr that a tunnel Is being driven from the top to the bottom slip. It was along this tunnel that the explosion occurred. CARSON IS FOREMAN. Thomas Carson, of Washburn street, Is foreman of the shaft, and he has had many years' experience In that line. Moreover, he Is regarded as one of the most careful as well as com petent foremen In the company's em ploy. The 14-foot vein gives tiff a large volume of gas, but the workings are provided with ventilating apparatus sufficient to maintain a strong air cur rent. I'nder ordinary circumstances it was safe for Williams to leave his chamber and go where he did for the piece of timber. A Tie reporter saw Mine Inspector Edward Roderick, who went to the shaft and examined the place after the accident, and Mr. Roderick said that he believed some one must have left a door along the gangway open, and that this broke the air cur rent and allowed the gas to accumu late. When Mr. Roderick was in the mine, he said he found the air current all right, and no bus in the place. Mr. Curson, of course, nnd got a gang of men together and had by that time re built all that had been town down by the explosion. Mr. Carson was seen at his home on Washburn street In the evening, and he was of the same opinion as the mine Inspector. He had been down in the 14-foot vein In the Diamond vein, which Is sixty-four feet above. The fire boss was with him and they both remarked that the r.as had gone off down below. As quickly as Mr. Car son could get to the land and get down to the other vein he went, and when he got to the foot of the shaft, Williams was there, after being brought out. The foreman gave orders to have the burned men removed as soon as possi ble; nnd then he set to Work to rebuild the doors and cross cuts that had been blown down. WILLIAM3 SET IT OFF. There Is no doubt that it was Will iams who set off the gas, for as soon as he stepped from his own chamber Into the old working, off it went. He being right on the spot where It was ignited, it was reasonable that he thould he burned the worst. His la borer not far away came next In de gree; and Orinka and his laborer In the next chamber were the next to sulTer in proportion. The two Smiths being j tracklayers, they were at work on the I gangway road, and Horrick and Jack- I son hnving chainbeis farther In nnd I being en their way out along the gang way road, the escaped the fiercest part of the fire, but nevertheless were seri ously burned. Inspector Roderick did not n nke a complete examination of the workings yesterday. He will do that today. Yes terday he went through with Superin tendent Thomas Phillips and saw that the place was HHfe for operation today. The one man who can settle all doubt ns to how the gas became Ignited Is Williams. Ho is in loo serlou3 a con dition to be troubled with questioning. But the most Important part of the In vestigation Is to find out for sure what caused the gas to accumulate. Every man working In the 14-foot vein was violently thrown down by the force of the explosion. The damage to the doors nnd cross tuts was confined to the section of the mine In which the tunnel Is being driven. ARE BEYOND ASSISTANCE. The ambulances of the company were brought into requisition and th men were taken to their respective homes. Williams nnd Plmtcu are thought to be beyond medical skill. Dr. Lloyd, of North Main avenUe. Providence, is attending Williams. Drs. lillhelmer and Kennedy, of Prlceburg, are attending the other six. Dr. Bil helmer said last night thnt there Is no doubt about the recovery of all of tho Prlceburg men but Plmtcu. RECEPTION TO VETERANS. Colonel Onkford i'ommar.d is Given a Plea.nnt Evening.
