FIRST CONCERT AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS Fanny Mendelssohn Society Received with Great Favor. TUB ARTISTS WHO ASSISTED ."llllc. Allco Vcrlct Possesses rt lnro, Stvoct Soprnno Volcc--Miss Mnitd .Morgan's Ilnrp Wiin Never Mori) Jlcspoiislvc--Mombors of the So ciety Who Snug Last Nlght--Audl-ciico tho Largest Tlint lias Heard a Concert in Scranton This Season. The Fanny Mendelssohn society, con cerning which there was so much an ticipation, made Its llrst nubile uppenr nnce ut a concert given by tho society In the Frothlngham last night. The members were assisted by Mile. Allco Verlet, soprano, and Miss Maud Mor gan, harpist. The fiiiO'encc was tho largest seen at a concert In Scranton this season. It was a. cultured and discriminating audience that fitly welcomed the artists and in turn wns fitly entertained. En tertained U the word of words for last night's programme was one of enter tainment throughout. At times the entertainment took tho form of a proper but still a rippling jol lity; again It waH peace, a sweetly mel ancholy peace but It was ahveys enter tainment. ''The Spinning Song," from "The Flying Dutchman" and Parker's "The Fisher," were the nearest ap proaches to serious themes and they were, at most, but approaches. Every seat In tho house was taken by friends of the Fanny Mendelssohn so ciety and by others who were attracted by a glance at the published pro gramme. It Is a sulllclent commentary upon the concert to say that the most critical auditors In the large audience wero charmed and tho most Indifferent aroused Into enthusiasm. THE OPENING SELECTION. And first as to the numbers sung by the society. The versatility of theso ladles and their ability were quickly mail? evident. Hatglcl's "In Spring," was the happily chosen open ing selection. No fairer symbolizatlon of. springtime could be made than that created by the stage picture of tho so ciety as . they arose In obedience to Conductor- -'j. Alfred Pennington's wand. The beauty of the pkiure was a preparative for the melody which followed. In this and in every number of the programme, the ladles evidenced a delicacy of phrasing, a lelinenient of expression, an intelligence of reading and a close sympathy with the several themes. For the completeness of their singing they have to thank their own natural and acquired al illtlcs and the pains taking work nnd remarkable skill of the conductor, Mr. Pennington. Miss Maud Morgan has played before Scranton audiences heretofore but nev er has her harp spoken more truly than it did last evening. In Hasselmann's "Lamento," Miss Moigan displayed her dramatic power In Its full. To this, Godcfrold's "Danse des Sylphes" was an admirable and blithesome foil. FOR AN ENCOHE. "Fairy Footsteps," by Hollaender, Raffs "Departing Day" and IJarglel's "Dragon Files," comprised the gamut of last evening's programme, and each had Its sharp individuality brought out by the society. As an encore se lection, tho society sang a remarkably beautiful arrangement of that tune ful theme, "In Old Madrid." In this the parts were given freer play than in any other song of the evening. The sopranos added power to their fresh ness nnd purity, and the contraltos evi denced a richness, which before had not been so evident. Mile. Alice Verlet fully justified tho extravagant expectations which many had held concerning her method and her voice. The former was simplicity In art, the latter a marvel. Both of the numbers which she sang on her first appearance, Helmund's "The Kiss" and Delibes "Les Filles de Cadiz" were of the prevailing light ness of theme. Mile. Verlet's charm of manner was an added effect to the completeness of her singing. "The Spinning Song" was so persist ently and rapturously applauded that Its repetition was necessary. Miss Morgan won a new triumph by her playing of "Autumn" from "The Sea sons," by Thomas. She has played this In Scranton heretofore, but never bet ter than last night. ADM1RARLY INTERPRETED. Abt's "Oh Lovely Night," Relehe's "Who has the Prettiest Lambkins" nnd Gadel'sJ "Summer Night" were themes which wero admirably Inter preted by the society. Meyerbler's dllllcult "Shadow Song," from "Dlnorah," was sung by Mile. Verlet and this created the greatest enthusiasm of the evening. To Its dif ficulties Mile. Verlet superimposed a higher climatic note ami then sang Hie whole with ns much ease and ex pression as thcugl: It were the simplest of ballads. Of course the house "rose at her" nnd of- course an encore re sulted. Tho concluding selection was shared In by Miss Morgun, Mile. Verlet and the society. It was Parker's "The Fisher." it was more a. technical than nn exprcsslonal triumph but its every phrase and note was thoroughly en joyable. So enjoyable wns it that, tho nudl"nce remained slttlns and ap plauding for some little time after its conclusion. The accompanist, Miss Charlotte J31acknian,dld her exacting work fault lessly. Heautlful bouquets were given over the footlights to Mile. Verlet, Miss Morgan and Mr. Pennington. The Fanny Mendelssohn society wns organized last September and took for Its motto "Art for Art's Sake." It was named after the sister of the com poser, Mendelssohn, who was herself a composer of marked ability. The society Is composed of some of the best female singers of the city, and lias been rehearsing since Its organiza tion under the direction of Mr, Pen nington. It was his first appearance last night us a conductor, and he has reason to feel proud of his triumph, and that of tho society he conducts. The olllcers of the society are Miss Susan E. Dickinson, president; Miss Julia C. Allen, secretary and treas urer. Not a little of the success of last night's concert was duo to the en ergetic executlvo committee, com posed of Mrs, William J. Hand, Mrs. Alfred E. Connell and Mrs, George M. Ilallstead, all of them accomplished musicians and warm patrons of events musical, They are active members of the society. The members of the society who sang last night were: Mrs. Thomas Aubrey, Mrs, Annlo I3arnes, Mrs. Clar ence lialentlne, Mrs. Alfred E. Connell, Mrs. Maxwell Chapman, Mrs, D, w. Connolly, Miss Alda Davis, Mrs. W. J. Hand, Mrs. George M.

II. I'nge, Mrs. J. Alfred Pen nington, Altss Flotence H. Richmond, Miss Grace Rose, Miss Annie Rose, Miss Ucf.sle Itlce, Miss Lydla Sailor, Mrs. T. C. Von Storch, Miss Caroline Wolf. The success of Inst night's concert Injures one and probably two concerts by tho society next .lousin. Mile. Verlet was born In ISelglum, but of recent years has boon In Paris, where she sang In grand opera after compleUnjr her nuilcnl education. Sho came to this country last August nnd hits been heard here only In concert. SVETZ GIVEN A HEAPING. Admits Shooting the Child, but Says It Was AccidentalNot the Father of the Infant. It now transpires that curtrumstnnces leading up to tho shooting of the Infant child by Its supposed fathel, John Svctz, Sunday morning In Dunmore, show that Svetz may have deliberately murdered the baby hut tho evi dence seems to contradict any likelihood of dellbcrnte killing. As told In Tho Tribune Svctz gave himself up to rx-Conslable "Hilly" Skipper at 9.30 o'clock Sunday night. He was lodged In tho county Jnll and yesterday morning County Detective Lcyshon went before Alderman John T. Howe and swore out a warrant for the formal arrest of Svctz on the chaige of murderf John Humaer, the Hungarian tramp, who fired the shots from the porch be fore Svetz took the revolver from hlm was arraigned before Alderman Howe charged with carrying concealed weap ons nnd discharging the same on the public highway. He was held In $o00 and In default was committed to Jail to await tilal by court. The details of the shootliiK as re ported In The Tribune upon a second Investigation proved correct. Svetz was Ignorant of the use of revolvers and It now appears that tho revolver used was a self-cocking weapon. This makes the accidental theory the more possible. Accompanied by ex-Constable Skip per, a Tribune reporter went to the house yesterday. It was once a fine building, but now the steps In the dark hallways are broken, vermin Is seen everywhere and a Denm.irkian odor is aggiestively apparent. In the upstairs room n half dozen persons were found. One woman emptied some cut bologna from a filthy pan on the stove and placed the dish with other similar side-plates before John Grublnak and one other man. A big two-quart bottle of beer was the washable and only one tumbler was used for all. The dining room contained two beds and the cradle In which the baby while sleeping was shot. John Grublnak tells of the shooting as he got It from his wife. This Is one of the two wo men who were In the room at the time of Svetz'p act. Grublnak calls the wo man "wife," although she wns arrested about two years ago for leaving her husband who now lives nt Taylor. Af ter spending a period of nine months In the county jail she returned to John Grublnak. It Is known that Svetz has been In America for the past eight years and that his wife did not come here until a little over eight months ago. She left three children in the old country, Russian Poland, two of whom Svetz, her husband, has never seen. One child is 10 years old, born before Svetz came here. The other two are aged D and 2 years. Mrs. Svetz had been In America only a few days when the child who was shot Sunday was born. For tho first month, says John Grublnak, Svetz and the woman quarreled over the child. From these circumstances It was sup posed that Svetz in a fit of anger shot the child out of pure hate for Its Illegit imacy. This, however, will prove unbacked by any substantial evidence. Svetz had been drinking; he heard the shots out side; he disliked Humear; he took the revolver from him; he went upstairs and In exhibiting the revolver he pulled the trigger twice, too drunk to com prehend what he was doing. The child wns burled yesterday in tho German Catholic cemetery, South Side. At S.30 o'clock last night Svetz was taken from the county jail and given a hearing before Alderman Howe. He admitted shooting the child, but said It was nn accident, Svetz was com mitted to the county jail to awn It ac tion In court. County Detective Ley slum has secured tho revolver. It is a self-cocking weapon. DELAY IN TIIG PAViNQ. Work on .Mulberry Street Will Not Ho Commenced Cor Some Weeks. It will be several weeks yet before the work on the Mulberry street pave will be commenced according to pres ent indications. Tho Columbia Con struction company find It impossible to secure the necessary broken stone for the concrete. They hope, however, to overcome this difficulty within a week or two. It has been decided to work two gangs, one at either end of tho street. This will make up for tho time lost through the hitch In the preliminaries. Hi art Disease on the Increase.

There will be no public presentations of (lowers or other gifts before or dur ing this year's graduation of high nnd training school pupils. That much wns settled by the adoption of a report of tho high and training school committee nt last night's board of control meet ing. Following- was the report: That no pupil shall be allowed to grad uate from any department of tho Scran ton high school who has not made a gen eral average of "0 In all his or her work. That no pupil or pupils of the high or training school shall publicly accept a present or gift of any kind before, during or at the close of graduation or com mencement exercises. That the Training school shall have a separate commencement to be held In tho auditorium of tho high school tho nlgnt preceding the high Kchool commencement; That $J0 be appropriated the training teacher for commencement exercises, one feature of which must be an educational address by an educator selected by tho training teacher and superintendent; Thut all teachers employed by the board of control bo requested and lnvltod by special card to attend and hear tho edu cational address to be delivered at com mencement tlmu for tho training school teachers; That tho use of tho high school be granted Mr Wlntersteln for his scientific lecture on X-Itays; nnd, providing his ap paratus be approved by tho high and training committee, and five physicians present at tho leqture, we ngreo to as sume any deficit (not exceeding tho cost of tho apparatus, $100) that may arlso THI3 REPORT ATTACKED. President Jennings called Mr. AVelsh to the chair and debated for the adop tion of the report, when Mr. Barker offered a motion that the gift clause be stricken out. Mr. Wormser and Mr. Notz. supported Mr. Jennings. The substance of their nrgument was that many graduates whose friends nnd rel atives aro not well-to-do are embar rassed by the lavish presentation of (lowers and other gifts to graduates more fortunately situated in a worldly sense, but whoso merit of scholarship Is no better and perhaps less than the former class. The report was adopted. The April pay roll was approved as follows: Teachers, $14,0S0.'J"; substi tutes, $225.70; Janitors, $1,570. Alderman John T. Howe and Fred J. Amsden were present as representa tives of the joint Memorial Day com mittee of the city's two Grand Army posts and asked permission to have collections made In the schools for the benefit of the Decoration Day exer cises of the posts. The request was granted. Alderman Howe Informed the board that the Patriotic Order Sons of Amer Ice had u Hug ready for presentation to No. 1 school. MISS COHEN'S RESIGNATION. A precedent will likely be estab lished through the resignation of Miss Rose Cohen as teacher at No. 30 school, and the appointing In her stead of Miss Margaret Schlmpff. The resig nation came direct to the board and In consequence no opportunity was of fered for the appointment of a teach er "with a pull." Mr. Notz remarked that he was glad the resignation came direct to the board and offered a motion that fu ture resignations bo so made. Mr, Langnn amended by a motion that res ignations bo given to the controller and by him to the superintendent of schools. Mr. Wormser further amend ed that the matter be referred to the committee on rules to bo reported nt the next meeting, and the motion was adopted as last amended. A largo number of bills were ap proved before adjournment. WHERE THOU GOEST I WILL Ruth Spokcth Thusiyin Olden Times, but Listen to This.

Supreme Court Reverses Judge Gunstcr with Regard to Olyphant Borough Troublc."lllslory of Case. Olyphant's electric light bonds are all right. The Superior court yester day handed down a decree In the cele brated case of Gallagher and others against the borough of Olyphant re versing Judge Gunster and setting aside the decree. In 1SP2 the borough of Olyphant erect ed an electric light plant and In isai tho councils decided that a larger plant wns necessary. The matter wns sub mitted to the taxpayers at an election and they were found to favor tho pro ject and work on the plant was Imme diately begun. The Scranton Supply nnd Machinery company wns given the contract for tho machinery, Spruks Bros, for the building and the General Electric company for the dynamos. R. J. Gallagher nnd Dorninlck How ard, two members of the borough coun cil, and J. M. Schenck, a defeated bid der for the contract to construct the building succeeded In securing an In junction from Judge Gunster restrain ing the borough from issuing the $15,000 worth of bond3 designed to pay for the improvements, their grounds for com plaint being that tho borough was pro ceeding Iregulnrly, not having passed the appropriate and necessary ordi nances. The ordinances wero passed, the con tracts reawarded and the work recom menced. The Injunction was dissolved nnd the bonds regularly sold, Edwin C. Jones, of New York, purchasing them and selling them later to Mrs. Fanny M. Massey, of Philadelphia. In July 1890, tho Supreme court handed down the Sener case decision declaring that by the act of 1SA5 a bor ough could not Increase Its Indebted ness beyond 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation. It had formerly been 7 per cent., but, It is claimed, through a clerical error, the omission of one par ticular line from the act the maximum limit wns changed, although It was never so Intended by the law makers. Following tho ruling In the Sener case Jundge Gunster declared the Oly prant bonds Invalid as their Issuance caused the borough Indebtedness to ex ceed the prescribed 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation. Tho matter was appealed to the Su preme court, Hon. C. P. O'Malley, tho borough attorney, and Major Everett AVarren, of Warren & Knapp, arguing for the bonds, and Attorney Ira H. Burns for their assailants. Yesterday's decision also directs that the costs should be equally divided be tween the plaintiffs and tho borough of Olyphant. Regardless of tho Supreme court de cision the boroush was destined to a victory, as a new bill was recently passed and now awaits the governor's signature changing the limit of In debtedness back to its original figure, 7 r-er cent., and validating bonds which the 2 per cent, clause the act of 1S93 had nullified. rt Is the Intention of the borough council to proceed at once with the completion of the electric light plant nnd also to straighten out other tangles, which were consequent upon this muddle and which have worked greatly to the hurt of the horough.
