BISPIIAM-GREG0R0WITSCH CONCERT. One of the best pleased" audiences that ever gathered In a placo of entertainment In Scranton, last evening occupied the Frothtngham upon tho occasion of tho Bis-pham-Gregorowltsch concert. From the moment of Its welcome of Mr, Dlspham, who had already established himself a n local Idol, to Its parting token of appre ciation of the young Russian violinist, this audlenco was In a veritable ecstacy of de light, and Jet pass no 6pportunlty to cm pha!zo Its gratitude to the artists of tho evening. "i. Tho programmo brought Mr. Dlspham upon the stage first, and the honest cor diality of his reception served as a fitting preface to his superb barltono singing of four serious pongs by Brahms songs based on Biblical excerpts and treating of somo of the profoundest moods of hu man nature. Tho singer's Interpretation was more than masterly; It was Inspiring. A Bermon In a cathedral could not have been more intlmato In Its approach to the recesses of the aoul, and there was added solemnity to this song series by rea son of tho recent death of their composer. At only one other tlmo during the even ing did the nrtlst In Mr. Blspham exhibit with equal power, and that was In tho rendition of Schubert's "Der Erl Konlg" a blend of lyric with dramatic perfection tho llko of which It Is safe to say has never been heard In this city, and which would alone have sufficed to make the con cert memorable. Tho remainder of Mr. Blspham's num bers was somewhat lighter In sentiment, but to each mood and phase of thought and feeling he carried the sympathetic volco und manner of tho finished nrtlst, whose art Is so rich and truo and so ripe with Individual genius that It baffles criti cism or tho attempt to analyze it, and calls simply for silent surrender. If ho charmed us upon the occasion of his introductory visit, It Is not putting it too enthusiastically to say that his second advent has taken Scranton captive, and welcome hereafter will know no reserva tions. With much interest the audience last ev ening awaited Its first glimpse of tho Rus sian violin lrtuoso, Mr Gregorowltsch. When he bow ed his first greeting It saw a somewhat' stocky young man, with mas sive chin, dark hair and the traditional features of his race. But when It heard tho first pure tone of the bow upon his singularly sweet and velvety instrument, and listened for tho fraction of a mlnuto to tho first of tho Wlenlawski Russian air, as they leaped from his strings In crystalllno darts and flashes of melody, It became awnro that here, too, was an ar tist and a master. It Isn't possible for the writer of this notice to speak with any knowledge of the violin, but a comparison of Gregorowltsch with tho more familiar premiers on this Instrument would, wo think, quickly es tablish his claim to rank well toward the very front. He limited his part of last ev ening's progrumme to wild and weird and irregular airs; only in the Bach number did he undertake to give any hint of his musical scholarship. But It may readily bo credited that tho performer who can elicit from his Instrument the wealth and range and lnde&cribablo .sweetness of tone and effect which Gregorowltsch incit ed last evening Is alo worthy to Interpret. On this occasion the artists brought with them each his own accompanist. The ally of Mr. Gregorowltsch was Mr. Fazer, and of Mr. Blspham, Mr. Rlesberg. The latter especially dlspayed prollelency and Intelligence of a high order, and in the ac companiment to the "Erl King" laid claim to serlojs attention as a pianist. To Mrs. Ballentlno for this third opportunity of exceptional pleasure in one season tho mii'lc-lovers of Scranton are most certain ly Indebted. ME MISSED SIX DOLLARS. C. 11. Brush Snvs It Wns Taken from His I'ocKct. Mary C. Knapp was arrested last evening; at 9 o'clock by Constable K. C. Yeotnans on a charge of "taking: $0 from the trouser's pocket of C. M. Bush." The trouble brewed In a dwelling house on Wyoming avenue a few hours before the arrest last evening. After Mrs. Knapp was arrested It was found that there weie plenty of wit nesses to contradict his charge. He was at work as a painter In the Knapp house yesterday and witnesses say he was under the Influence of liquor. He gave Mrs. Knapp $0. Later he charged her with stealing the money. Mrs Knapp was taken before Al derman Howe, where she was allowed to go for a further hearing: this morn ing, LANE'S NEW HOTEL.

Eleven of tho active members of tho West Side board of trade met last even ing for the last time In the directors' room of the West Side bank. Oillceis for the year weie elected ns follows: A. Ii. Holmes, president'. Dr. P. F. Struppler, vice-president; William Farrdl, treasurer1 Joseph K. Oliver, secretary. Alfred Twining leaves tho Fecreturyshlp with tho thanks of the board and the West Side public which it represents. Mr. Twining has made a faithful ofllclal, watchful, courteous and active In udvnnclnz tho Interests of this section. His successor, Joseph E. Oliver, Is entirely capable. President L. M. Clarke was in the chnlr. Secretary Twining read the minutes of the last meeting and under the reports of committees Mr, Oliver mentioned that the Southern Hyde Park sewer ordinance had been killed lti councils. He stuied to the board that the sewers and drainage commit tee had been authorized to act on a new ordinance. NEW PHASE OF SEWER QUESTION Tho meeting was arranged for last Filday night but owing to the Demo cratic caucus only five of the ten mem bers were present. City Solicitor Tor rey stated at the committee meeting that it vae perhaps just as well that tho onllnnncc was defeated as a recent decision of tho supreme court had plac ed a new phase to the sewer question. It was decreed that property holders, whoso properties do not abutt Immedi ate upon the sewer trunk are not liable foi any expense or tax therefor. Mr. Oliver also explained City Solicitor Tor rey's plan for sjwer building which Is noted In another column. Mr. Morse asked that tho board dtaft a resolution for the use of the Fifth ward councllmen In an effort to hae sewer basins placed In the Fifth ward. The basins are needed to catch the water that sweeps down Jackson street hill and Hoods to Main avenue. On motion, the secretary was Instructed to prepare a resolution. George Brown's barnyard on the sidewalk on Robinson street came up for discussion. Councilman Nealls has promised to compel Mr. Brown to keep off the sidewalk. OPENING DIVISION STREET. Mr. Morse stated that the peopl of the far end of Division street are talk ing of getting up a petition to be pre sented to councils for the opening of Division street between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. The mat ter will come up before the board at the next meeting. Concerning the wished for donation of land for the manufacturers that may seek to establish on this side, the board at Its last meeting rent requests to several of the big land owners here and two responses were read by Secre tary Twining last night. One was from John T. Richards, representing the Falrvlew Park Land company. Tho letter said that the company had no land "to donate," but Is willing to sell. The language used was "satisfactory arrangements." The other response was from A. T. Helser, agent for the Pettebone estate, which controls land In the northern Keyser valley region. Mr. Helser stated that he was una ware of any Intent by Robert Pette bone to donate any land. He will bring the matter before him, however. Mr. Pettebone is now In California. George B. Carson was elected to membership. It was decided that here after U will be the Initiation fee of members admitted to the board. There was further discussion on the matter of finances. The opening of the land known as Trlpps In the northern section makes tho board rnear that Trlpps' woods, which Is now needed for a pub lic jark will be secrifleed for building purposes. Investigation with a view to preventing this will be made. Mr. Oliver made some statements In reference to tho damages which follow the establishment of public improve ments. Ho averred that In somo In stances tho damages were ten times as great as the cost of tho Improve ments. "No wonder," he said, "that councils are making,- such a decided stand." A. B. Holmes, Alfred Twining nnd W. R. Williams were appointed a com mittee to secure new meeting rooms, as the bank directors nie going to re model the present quarters. The elec tion of officers then took place as given above. H. D. Jones and William Far rell were tellers. The meeting was very spl.ited, DEMOCRATS GET TOGETHER.

Ben Johnson, associate editor of the Sunday News. Mr. Johnson, as his wont, said many new and original things, among them that at no time since tho war had Democracy declared its real, true and pristine position until the Chicago platform was sent forth to the world. On motion of County Secretary D, J. Reedy, Mr. Johnson was tendered a rousing vote of thanks for his address.

THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE CONSTABLES Case-Staled to Settle Their Differences on the Pec Bill. IT IS AN AMBIQU0US MEASURE The Comnilssloners'Wnnt n Locnl In terpretation of the Hill and for This Reason Consented to nil Amicable ActioifUichnril lliuroii, President ol tho Constables' Association is Plnlntlll uud tho County, Delcndnnt in tho Proceedings. To settle for encf nnd all the disputed clauses of the ambiguous constables' fee bill a case Hlated ha- been ngreed to between the Lackawanna County Constables association on th one hand and the county commissioners on the other. Richard Barron, constable of Dickson City, who is pnsldent of tho association, Is made plaintiff and the county Is named as defendant. The principal mntters In controversy between tho parties are the clauses re ferring to mileage and tho serving of subpoenas. The constables claim they are entitled to fifty cents for each name that nppeurs upon the subpoena. The commlssloncis Interpret the fee bill to read that fifty centt. is to be allowed for serving the subpoena and fifteen cents additional for each name thereon after the first. There Is also a differ ence of opinion as to when "straight" nnd "circular" mileage Is to hi allowed, th'J constables contending that they should he paid for going and comlnir In serving a subpeena and the commis sioners holding that "circular" mile age Is to be charged only In partlculxr cases stipulated In the fee bill. There are also other minor vat lances, which It Is proposed to have settled. Tho case selected as a test Is one In which Constable Parron served the pa pers and which through the operations of the Insolvency laws the county was compelled to settle for. It was the case of the commonwealth against Emily Drygalln, who was charged by Mary Rock with assault and battery. She was arrested by Barron and held for court by Justice of the Peace John SIiunsH, nf DIckon City. Tho grand Jury Ignored the bill and placed the costs on the prosecutrix. She pleaded Insolvency and In consequence tho county was mulcted for the costs. Constable Parron fixes his charges In this case as follow s: Serving subpoena cent pining four names, $2; mileage, sever, miles ench day, $1.40: serving warrant, Jl. The commissioners will contend that he Is entitled to onlv tr cents for serving the subpoena and 70 cents at the most for mileage. Catpentei & Fleltz ate attorneys for the constables.
