l BEFORE BREAKFAST, j
Tho programmo of tlio organ recital to

by tho Elm Park church quartette, Is as
follows:
Funeral March and Seraphic Song,
Uuilmant
Ave Maria Arcadelt-Ulszt
"On tho Coast" Dudley 13uck
Nuptial PostlLdo Gullmant
Quartette, To Deum In E flat Warien

Chorus of Shepherds Lemmens
Quartette, "Como Unto Me" Gounod
Mr. Pennington writes: "Several of tho
great comroscrs have written funeral
marches which have become classics,
namely, Beethoven, Handel, Chopin and
Gullmant. Tho march at tho beginning
of this programme is written In memory
of the composer's mother, and has prob
ably been performed by tho great French
organist oftener than any other of his
compositions, It's first performance be
ing at tho Inauguration of tho grand or
gan In the cathedral of Notre Dame,
Paris. Tho composition begins In C minor
with a maroh rythm In tho pedal which
is taken up by the manuals and continued
through tho first and sucond themes.
Then comos itho trio or middle portion or
the march in D flat major Tho trio is
Introduced by a ono measures figure in
thorlghthandwihich frequently reappears.
After this, tho second themo Is repeated
with louder registration followed by a
chromatic episode, during which stops nro
added, leading into the llrat themo with
tho full power of tho instrument. Tno
mighty fortissimo is continued for twenty
seven measures, representing a perfect
liaroxysm of grief and woe, tho effect be
ing intensified in tho extreme by a trill
effect on tho pedals. Suddenly as thoughts
of tho spirit world, to which tho spirit of
the departed has gone, como to the com
poser's mind the terrible grief subsides,
nnd a modulatory episode leads into tho
'Seraphic Song.' Throughout this part of
tho composition both hands play arpeg
gios after tho manner of the harp with
a registration peculiar to such effects,
while the right foot plays upon tho ped
als the melody of tho song to which tho
harp effect Is tho accompaniment, and tho
left foot plays the natural bass. Tho
Avo Maria of Arcadelt is full of tho
qualntness of the mu&lo of tho fifteenth
century; and to thoroughly enjoy it, dur
ing Us performance tho historical past
and all that one has read of It should take
possession of tho mind,
"On the Coast may bo tormed pro
gramme music; that is to say, a certain
text or poem has served as an Inspira
tion to tho composer and the muslo deep
ens the poetical effect by being in a great
measura descriptive. The Nuptial Post
lude Is In march tlmo and Is, as Its name
Implies, a wedding march for tho de
parture of the wedding profession,
"Tho To Deum, which has been sung
In the church for hundreds of years is
especially adapted to muBlcal setting and
composers of all ages have delighted In
exerting all their powers to give it a
setting worthy of so noble a subject

Mr. B. P. Wnrrcn Is n prominent music
ian who wnB for twenty years organist
of Draco church lirondwny, New York
city, Tho Allegretto Pastorate suggests
scenes common In England In tho tlmo
of Elizabeth nnd still common In aomo
parts of Europe. A strolling piper np
pears upon tho village green, strikes tip
a merry tuno nnd tho vlllago lads nnd
latnles Join nt once In n, rustlo dance.
Suddenly tho organ In tho ancient church
near by breaks In, tho minds of the danc
ers nro turned to sacred things, nnd tho
uanco is discontinued. When tho organ
ceases tho piper continues nnd tho merry
tlnnco is resumed, Tho Hymn to tho
Evening Star Is n transcription from
JVngncr'fl opera 'Tnnhaueser,' whoro
Wolfram, accompanied on his harp, sings
nn npostropho to tho star to bear Elsa.
Wedding music by West, nn American
composer, Is a very original composition
which does not suggest a wedding cere
mony, but seems rather to express tho
happiness of tho Wedded pair.
"Tho Chorus of Shepherds nffords
striking contrasts. It opens with full or
gan nnd may bo said to suggest tho Joy
of tho shepherds on tho hills of Judea
nt tho birth of Christ. Tho shepherds
ceaso their singing and a choir of nngcls
Is heard chanting 'Gloria In Excclsls, In
Excclsls Deo.' This Is played upon tho
ox Ilumann, or human-volcc-stop, n,
h op, by tho way, which Is nil the moro
charming InMts effect If sparingly used.
After the "Gloria in Excclsls," tho shep
herds, and apparently all earth, Join
again in a chorus of Joy. Tho "Como
unto Mo," by Gounod, Is purposely placed
last and Is, ns it were, a continuation of
tho preceding. What moro fitting
thoughts could dwell In tho minds of tho
listeners ns they leavo tho sacred edi
fice?" Itov. Dr. aiMln will organize a Chau
tauqua clrclo nt Elm Park church this
evening which probably will bo the larg
est over formed In this region. It will' be
conducted by A. V. Dower and will con
tain much talent of tho city. It will bo
entirely undenominational and ago will bo
no barrier. Dr. Glllln spolto last evening

Tho Homo for tho Friendless has lost a

A school controller has enough obllquy
cast upon him in this town If he merely
sharea In tho general discredit which re
flects upon him at times from the antics
of tho ontlro board, 'but ho really can't bo
blamed for objecting when a case of mis
taken identity gives him nn additional de
gree of notoriety. This is Just about tho
situation which is now ailllctlng William
J. Welsh, of tho Ninth ward. As every
body knows, he Is a Republican. Control
ler Anthony Walsh, of tho Twentieth
ward, is a Democrat. The difference of
ono letter in a name isn't as groat ns tho
difference in tho political views of thtso
two gentlemen on tho school board. Par
ticularly was this truo at tho Monday
evening meeting of last week when Mr.
Welsh was out of tho city, but when Con
troller Anthony Walsh's remarks created
such a sentiment thut Mr. Welsh has bem
called upon ito defend himself frequently
during tho past week from tho delusion
that ho was responsible for what was
said at tho meeting. Ho Is Just tired of It
and wants a rest.

Two Noted SpcHltcrtf-Hcsolutlons
of Indignation Adonto(l--Sponkcrs
Urged tho .Miners to Organize.
Nearly 4,000 men, mostly miners nnd
mine employes, responded to tho call of
tho Osntral Labor union for yesterday's
mass meeting at Nay Aug park for the
purpose of expressing Indignation upon
the Lattlmer killing and to encourago
labor organizing among mine employes
In this region. The real business of tho
meeting began about 3 o'clock and
lasted over two hours during which
time not the slightest suspicion of dis
order prevailed and no Incendiary ut
terances wore henid, excepting possibly
tho tirade of a man who gave the name
of E. L. Williams, a West Side miner,
nnd who addressed the crowd from tho
platform In response to tho chairman's
general Invitation. Tho piomlnent
spirits of tho meeting soon perceived
they had made a mistake and Williams'
speech v. as cut short In time to pre
vent his making tho gathering and its
object appear ridiculous.
George Chance, of Philadelphia, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania State Legis
lative Labor league, and Hugh O'Don
nell, the famed labor leader during the
extensive Homestead affair, were the
two speakers of note and the only ones
from outsid the city. O'Donncll re
trained from any extended discussion
of tho Lattlmer trouble and talked for
only about five minutes, explaining his
brevity nnd conservatism In the state
ment that h? was In the mining regions
as a representative of a Philadelphia
paper, ns a reporter and investigator
and for the purpose ot forming pro
nounced views to be expressed later.
Chance, who has attained no little re
pute ns a labor' lobbyist at Harrlsburg,
talked for over half an hour. The bur
den of his speech was denunciation of
tlw action of Sheriff Martin nnd his
posse, an arraignment of the company
store system and an urgent appeal for
miners' labor organizations.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
There were addresses by P.J. Thomas,
ot tho Carpenters' union, who presided;
City Tteasurer C. G. Boland, City So
licitor M. A. McGinley, Representative
John R. Farr and Common Councilman
James Molr.
Previously prepared resolutions of
considerable length wero adopted with
out discussion, q committee was named
to solicit subscriptions in aid of the
Luzerne strikers and the families of tho
killed and wounded and a spirit of or
ganization was engend;red into the big
crowd this was tho accomplishment of
the moating.
At 2 o'clock the hour announced for
tho business of the meeting to begin,
about 3,000 men had gathered on the
play giound where had been erected tho
platform for the speakers and the Cen
tral Labor union's general committee
of arrangements, and a thousand oth
ers arrived before tho meeting was
well under way. Messrs. Chance and
O'Donr.ell were late in reaching the
park as they did not arrive here from
Hazleton until 12.43 o'clock via the Jer
sey Central rullroad. They were met
at tho depot and conducted to the St.
Charles hotel, from whence after din
ner they were accompanied to the park
In a carriage by Mr. Thomas and M. D.
Plaherty.presldent of the Central Labor
union.
Mr. Thomas announced from the plat
form that the object of the meeting
was "to express an opinion on the out
rage perpetrated' at Hazleton Sept. 10."
Ho then read letters of regret from
several prominent Scrantonlans who
had b'en Invited to address the meet
ing. Mayor Bailey had Tjeen announc
ed to preside but he was not present.
His letter of regret or declination was
In the possession of the committee but
was not read. There was a letter from
City Treasurer Eoland who later ap
peared in person. Tho letter proclaim
ed that Sheriff Martin had acted In a
hurried manner; that the deputies had
lost their heads; that the shooting was
without provocation; that the affair
had cast a foul blot on the history of
the state, nnd that the remedy rested
in tlM ballot.
LETTERS OF REGRET.
A letter from E. J. Lynett, proprietor
of the Times, expressed his sympathy
with the object of tho meeting, but
he wtote ho could s:o no advantage to
be gained by his presence. A. J. Col
born, jr., wrote that he would not be
In the city yesterday.
When tho signed rjgret of Senator J.
C. Vaughan was leached some ono
shouted "Another engagement, eh?"
and a kindred spirit answered "Yes,
thiy all have engagements."
"We'll buy no moro of that paper,"
was one of the comments suggested by
a letter from Captain E. E. Morris, of
the Sunday World, and this remark
was followed by; "If they were looking
for office they'd be here." John E.
Barrett, ot the Truth, wrote that a
recent Ulne.s prevented his attendance
but his letter was received with favor
as it contained pronounced opinions
deprecating the Lattlmer trouble and
sympathizing with tho object of the
meeting. Mr. Barrett wrote that "the
truo inwardness (of tho killing) was In
cheap, foreign labor, ignorant of tho
dockage system."
Mr. Chance.tho first speaker introduc
ed, received a decided ovation. "Bru
tal and uncalled for murder" was his
definition of tho Hazleton affair. His
talk whllo ardent and radical was a
splendid effort "both oratorieally and ar
gumentatlvely from a laboring man's
standpoint. He denounced the killing
In no uncertain nor unmeasured terms
but urged recourse to the Jaw for the
udjustment of present grievances and
organization as a recourse against fur
ther trouble. It had been a part of a
concerted operators' plan, lw said, to
prevent organization and to put a bar
between tho foreign elements. Organ
ized labor would never haw found it
self engaged in the recent trouble, but
If it had occurred In Lackawanna coun
ty sheriff and deputies would now bo In
jail. Law was all tho laboring man
asked and nil that he would submit to
In Pennsylvania.
THE CAUSE OP IT.
The causa of what tho speaker de
scribed as murder was a desire on tho
part of the companies for more th'an
legitimate profits through cheap labor
from Southern Europe. Tho foreigners,
too, had been fooled by false promises,
and much harm Juul been accomplished
by raco prejudice encouraged by the
owners.
A part ot the-, rnlnp owners' crime was
tho company storo system which being
conducted in open nnd flagrant viola
tion of law wns nothing short of crlmo
thievery and robbsry. JIo quoted
some law regarding company stores
nnd then paid he would li?avo It to his
hearers to judge whether his accusa
tion ot thievery was true.
"I've been a miner sixteen yMrs nnd
have never been forced or even asked
to trndo in n company ston," exclaim
ed an honest looking, middle aged man
in tho front row of listeners. This an
nouncement wns greeted with hlssrs
and some cries of "Put him out," "Hu's
a boss" and the like nnd BOmu disorder
might have prevailed but for tho ac
tion of tho speaker and O'Donnell, the
latter having arisen. Both raised their
hands and called for order and their
requests were followed by silence.
Mr. Chance stamped as false a state
ment that thb English speaking miners
are against tho strike. That was a Ho
original with tho companies and waa
suggested by tho same policy that pre
vented tho printing and distribution of
EO.COO copies of tlw report of tho recent
anthracite Investigating committee of
the legislature for fear tho abject
poverty and abuse of mine employes,
would become generally known.
That labor Is a commodity and that
Its price is being fixed by the sellers
laboring men themselves is a fact as
llxiod as Is the truth that tho price of
commodities generally Is regulated by
sellers1. Consequently, said Mr. Chance,
tho cry against labor dlctntfon of price
Is lessening and labor is fast courting
favor Instead of disfavor with thinking
people and with corporations for that
matter.
THEY PORTEND EVIL.
There seemed to be no little meaning
concealed between the lines of the
speaker's declaration that there might
come extensive trouble from what is
now but a speck on the horizon Home
stead, Buffalo, Chicago, Brooklyn, Ten
nessee, Lattlmer. There wero mutter
lngs of discontent that portended evil
nnd which were growing to greet vol
ume. Trade organizations, It was hop
ed, would more than counteract thta
greed of corporate bodies.
Mr. Chance concluded with a plea for
a united demand from labor that Sher
iff Martin and his deputies "be tried
quickly and impartially."
Chairman Thomas hure injected a
brief talk. City Treasurer Boland pro
claimed his belief In the gospel that
lack of soul or 'brotherly love debars
one from God's kingdom and it prompt
ed him to say of the present case that
thJre should bo no lacK of those Chris
tian auallttcs extended In aid of the
families of the killed and Injured and
tho striking Luzerne miners. He of
fered a motion that a committer be ap
pointed to solicit funds for their aid.
The motion was adopted and the fol
lowing committee was appointed: J.
H. Devlne, of the Carpenters' union,
chairman; C. G. Boland, treasurer;
Patrick McDecd. of the Plasterers'
union; T. R. Phillips, a miner; J. II.
McNulty, of the Carpenters'; T. J.
Monahan, the Barbers'; M. D. Flaher
ty, Typographical union, and Arthur
Kelly, of the Tailors'.
Tho committor secured nearly one
hundred dollars before the meeting
ended and adjourned to meet tomorrow
evening In Mr. Boland's office.
Mr. O'Donnell was thi:n introduced
and occupied a considerable part of his
speech In telling that his mission as a
reporter for a Philadelphia paper, pre
vented his discussing in detail the Lat
tlmer riot and klndtud subjects. He
said that the killing waa "a massacre
and the crime of the century." Mere
denunciation was useless; a more prac
tical avenue of help was the financial
onu suggested by Mr. Boland. After
less than five minutes of speaking Mr.
O'Donnell concluded.
TIIE RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolution was then
read by Chairman Thomas and unani
mously adopted without comment or
discussion:
Whereas, Pcaceablo citizens, upon tho
publlo highway, assembled for public
good, unarmed and mistrusting no dan
ger, were shot down in cold blood, be
tween Hazleton and Lattlmer, in Luzerne
county, on Friday, September 10, by an
armed body of men, headed by tho sheriff
of Luzcrno county, who, without duo de
liberation, and through fear and cow
ardice, wantonJy fired upon defenceless
people, we, as citizens of this common
wealth assembled, do cry aloud for Jus
tice, and protest against tho liberty of
tho murdeiers and the use of tho lorccs
which prevent tho execution of tho law.
Whereas, Wo assemble to voice our In
dignation at tho tilot and stigma brought
upon this great state, and to protest
against ho reckless manner in which our
citizens aio being deprived of theJr con
stitutional rights, and tho exerciso of
bruto force and murder by corporate hire
lings under pretext of law, which is up
held and sustained by thoso in power.
Resolved, That In accordance with sec
tion 20, article one, of tho constitution of
Pennsylvania, which says: "Tno citizens
havo a right in a peaceable manner to ns.
semblo together lor their common good,"
we bellevo the people walking on tho pub
lic highway betweet. Hazleton and Lattl.
mer on .Friday, September 10. wero not in
any way trespassing or breaking tho law
or me commonwealth. That thoy were on
publlo property, unarmed, had mado no
threats of destruction, of breaking or dl3
turblng the peace, and wero assembled for
their common good.
Resolved, That in blocking this pcace
ablo assemblage, In threatening and mo
lesting, in killing and wounding these peo
ple, Sheriff (Martin and his deputies onen-
ly violated tho law, committed murder,
brought reproach and opprobrium upon
our state, and placed the blackest and
bloodiest page in tho hlstoiy of this com.
monwealth.
GENERAL GOBIN DENOUNCED.
Resolved, That wo denounce tho action
of Gen. J. P. S. Gobln In using his mili
tary powers to defy tho legally consti
tuted authorities to carry out tho process
of law, and call upon Governor Hastings
to dofond the constitution of this state
and to uphold Its laws. That martial law
Is not In force In Luzerne county; that
tho civil authorities aro In full control;
that tho courts nro wide open and that In
dcllance of section 22, of article ono, ol
the constitution of Pennsylvania, which
says: "Tho military shall In all cases
and all times bo In strict subordination to
the civil power." General Gobln rofustb
to permit tho service of warrants regu
larly and legally Issued, and threatens tho
officers in whoso hands they wero placed
for execution.
Resolved, That wo denounce corpora to
power In Its methods of amabslng untold
wealth, In enslaving Its employes, until
penury, want and suffering causes them to
seek redress of wrongs and grievances,
and that tho National Guard, supported
by the people, for tho purposes of resist
ing Invasion, should not bo used as po
licemen and ei a weapon to further fasten
the shackles upon the toller.
Resolved, That wo sympathize with the
miners of the Hazleton region In their
struggio against oppression, pauper wages,
company doctors, company butchers, com
pany powder and other means to- filch
from them their scant earnings
Resolved, That wo ask tho legislators of
this state to consider and pass such laws
as will effectually and forever do away
with tho coorelvo tactics used by greedy
corporations against their employes In
bringing about such tcrrlblo trouble and
awful scenes as enacted at Hazleton,
Tho only mistake of the meeting was
then made in extending the privilege
of the platform o any present. The
H. L. "Williams referred to previously
In this article, took advantage ot tho
opportunity and said his "first worda
would be a sontr."
STARTED WITH SONO.
Ho sang "Three Cheers for tho Grand
Labor Cause," to the air of tho "Red,
White and Blue," extolled cold water
ns a beverage, said ho was n member
of Rev. Levi Bird's People's Prohibi
tion church and Invited laboring men
to hear that preacher's sermons, nnd
then entered into n tirade against cor
porations, terming Sheriff Martin a
prostitute of law nnd order, and ex
claimed: "I hato like h-1 all tyranny
nnd opposition." Meanwhile, Chance
nnd O'Donnell had urged Chairman
Thomas to cut Miner Williams' speech
nnd it wns done by a tug at his coat
tails and tho Introduction of City So
licitor McOlnley.
Mr. McGinley extolled mass meet
ings as the most popular and the best
avenuea of complaint. Representative
Farr, who was the next speaker, was
heard nt some length nnd endorsed
nenrly all tho salient points in tho
speech of Mr. Chance.
Captain Molr wns called to tho plat
form from tho crowd and n response
to cnlls for a speech began by saying
he did not agree with tho resolutions
In whole, nlthough he deplored the kill
ing at Lattlmer. He did not want to
censure Sheriff Martin, who, said the
speaker, wns doing his duty as lie found
it. The blame was somewhere, prob
ably in the law, which was morally
wrong if legally right If labor be
lieved as ho did, labor should elect Its
own representatives to make state and
national laws. The present laws must
be respected and under them arbitra
tion seemed, to Captain Molr, to bo a
safe way out of many difficulties. The
meeting then adjourned.
Tho gathering was arranged by this
committee from tho Central Labor
union: P. J. Thomas, chairman; M. D.
Flaherty, secretary; 1. J. Gllbrlde,
Arthur Kelly, Daniel Harris, Mis3 B.
Arthurs, William Melster. P. D. Carr,
Joseph Bacus and Thomas Monahan.
LEADERS CONFERRED.
Mr. Chance and Mr, O'Donncll spent
tho evening in company with Mr.
Thomas, Mr. Flaherty and other promi
nent local labor leaders. Th'e movement
for organization In this county was
generally discussed. A plan was not
outlined, owing to today's meeting In
Washington, D. C, of the executive
board of the American Federation of
Labor, which purposes sending a corps
of organizers at once into this region
to work with district Federation organ
izers. Mr. Thomas Is the organizer for
this district. He, Mr. Chance, Mr.
O'Donnell and Mr. Flaherty assured a
Tribune reporter late last night that
the United Mine Workers would be
organized throughout this section of
the state in a very brief space of time
and that a beginning would be made
at once.
Mr. Chance and Mr. O'Donnell will
leave Scranton this morning, the for
mer for Philadelphia and the latter for
Hazleton.
POLICE JOTTINQS.
John Burns was asleep when found by
Patrolmen Flaherty and Pcuster Saturday
night on Vina street. When cooped in a
cell In tho police station ho tried to break
tho water pipes and do other unruly
thing. Ho will be given a hearing this
morning.
Robert and1 Andrew Bush, brothers,
were discovered wrapped In each others
arms by the side of the Delaware, Lack
