That Is tho Opinion ol' n Man Who Nerved on tho Mtiino. The Wllkes-Barre Times last evening contained un Interview with Frederick Wagner, of 117 Scott street, that city, who until a short time ago was a sea 'man on board the ill-fated Maine. Ho said: "I am ot the opinion that tho explo sion was caused by some external force, probably a submarine mine or tor pedo." "Do you think the explosion could have been an accident?" was asked. "I can't see how such could have been the case," replied Wagner, "as tho strictest discipline is always observed on board; in fact, there Is no vessel In the United States navy on which great er precautions were taken to guard ntralnat accident, than was observed on tho Maine, und Captain Slgsbee, the commander, is ono of the strictest dis ciplinarians in the navy. Another thing which makes me believe It could not havo been an accident Is the fact that the ship was carefully Inspected and tho magazines securely locked evprv oveninB previous to sundown, and no one was allowed to enter them after that hour. The only time we seamen were allowed to enter the magazines were on the days we had gun drills. On such occasions we were sent In tho magazines in charge of one of the offi cers. "The duties of those sent in during the drills consisted in passing tho am munition from tho magazlno to the deck, where it was taken by another force, whoso duty It was to pass It on to the guns. After the drill the am munition was again passed to the hold, ' where it was carefully stored, The powder was all kept carefully encased In copper cans, which were placed on 1 racks, and the shells were carefully piled in a separate compartment. Dur ing theBo drills we were not allowed to wear our ordinary clothing or shoes, hut were supplied with woolen uni forms and shoes without nails, so that by no posslba means could an uccl dent occur from friction if by any pos sible means any loose grains of pow der should happen to bo lying around." Wagner ridiculed the Idea that an infernal machlno might have been smuggled on board or that the boilers blew up. Tho spontaneous combustion theory he aUo made light of for the reason that great precautions have al ways been taken to prevent anything f the kind, .Uropson & Tollman are allowing the new Dunlup hat to-day. SE) WILL BUILD AW ADDITION. T011II1 Wnnl Silk Mill Plans Ilnvn Ilccn i:tabotnteil. Further extensions havo been made In the- plana for the biff silk mill near Itiff completion In the Tenth ward. The original purposes of the promoters, Helling, David & Sehoen, of New York city, were considered very elaborate, but recently the firm concluded that It would need Increased lloor space. The result has been nn order to the con tractor, Peter Stlpp, to build an addi tional two-story 1j GOxSO feet. Already the main structure has been erected above Its first story. It will be entirely enclosed and ready for equip ment April 15. It Is expected that by June 15 the machinery wilt be In place nnd that manufacturing will begin two weeks later. Another Silk lndiiHtry. Another silk manufacturing project which was abandoned last year after the preliminary negotiations had been brought to what was thought to havo been a definite' conclusion, but which fell through, seems likely to material ize. Thu inanufactuters will be In Scranton today to confer with local capitalists and hoard of trade officials in reference to the matter. If n mill Is erected It will employ about COO hands. The particulars will possibly bo made public next week. FERN WON WITH EASE. He Had No Trouble in Running Away from E. A. Snyder, Who Came from New York City. Scianton was reminded latt night that It has an American champion In Its midst, which it had almost entirely lost sight of, IJzra Fern, "Zeko" as ho was known the country over In the days of tho roller skating rink, donned his skates after 11 lapse of flvo years and with un eahe that robbed the event of all semblance of a contest, ian away from V. W. Snyder, a Now York crack, who wiih a Rood one In the old days and who by reason of recent perform ances thought himself to be the very best of these times. The race took place In Flnley's hall, Lackawanna avenue, where the sport has been lately revived. It used to be Keystone rink nnd was one of the first opened in this, city. Tho fiont part of It has been cut up Into ofllces, but about three-quarters of the former floor space remains and the old hardwood floor still being intact, It makes quite a respectable-sized rink. The rnce was not extensively adver tised, but despite this there was 11 goodly number of the old cranks and admirers of the unconquerable "Zeke" on bund to have their minds pleasur ably carried back to the days when Fern, the Mash boys, the Dowdells; young Baker and Wlckwlre, of Carbondalo: Jones, of Flttston; Joe Hlce, of Wllkes-Barre, were heroes beside whom the epoch-makers of history paled, and when a mem bership in the 1-ackawannas, Ar cadians or Hlckorys was more of a distinction in tho eVes of the small boy than a seat In congress or an election to the French academy. Fern showed up In surprising form, lie had trained only about ten days, yet he proved himself to be still pos sessed of the qualities which made him the wonder of the roller Hkatlng world In the old days. Just what speed ho vorked up could not be measured, as tho rink's dimensions nre not exactly Known nnd consequence no effort was made to catch the Mine. By comparl non, however, It was plnln to bo Feen that he was striking something, very much like his old gait. In the mile he passed Snyder eight times. This ended the rnce. but as neither men evidenced a desire to stop the speed ing was continued for about three miles. Fern let down and contended hlmoelf with doubling his opponent only four times in the last two miles. He could have done better, but as It was his first race after n. Ions absence from the rink, he did not want to risk over-osertlon. Snyder claimed that ho met with an accident tn his skate early In tho race nnd that he prevented him from doing anything like his best work. He did not contend however, Uiat he would havo won on anything like that If he hadn't been handicapped. "All I want credit for," ho said after the race, "Is that I had the nerve to go up against Fern. That's all." Fern authorized Tho Tribune to an nounce that he was back In the arena and ready to meet any man in Penn sylvania. After ho Improves In form he will make an unlimited challenge. "Tommy" Marsh hns lsued a chal lenge to race nny man In Luzerne or Lackawanna counties, Fern excepted. Jones, of Plttston, nnd Marsh are be ing talked of for 11 race.

HEARD (1UILMANT AT WILKES-BARRE This City's Delegation Overflowed the Sent Itoservcd Tor TI10111 lit J.nst Night's Itccital by tho famous OigniiUl lu the J'irst Methodist Cliiircli.-fiullmutU'i Haying Thrill ed nn Audience Tlint Overtaxed the Church's Seating Cnpncity. Flvo tat loads of people went from Scranton over the Delawiro und Hud son tnllroad last night to hear Mon tleur Alexander Gullmant's organ re cital in the First Methodist church, Wllkes-Baire. The train left soon nf tfr 7 o'clock, reaching Its destination about 8 o'clock. A generous section of the gallery had been leserved for tho Scranton party and they moto than lllled It, hwnitn Ing over nteps and aisles. Kveiy seat In the edifice was occupied and chalis were placed within the chancel for the accommodation of patrons. Scranton nlone could have furnished 200 more had there been room. Bev. W. II. Pearc.?, D. D., pastor of the church, announced that now since the Siranton delegation had arrived, the programme could go on and that at Its close an opportunity would be given for greeting I. Uullmnnt. who then came to the platform accompanied by Professor J. Alfred Pennington, or ganist of Elm Purk church, this city, who gracefully introduced him in llt tlng terms, speaking of him as tho great oiganlst of Trinity church, Pails, the famous composer, a teacher In tho Paris conservatory, In itself a distinc tion great enough for one man and Chevalier of the Iieglon of Honor. PEBSONAL. APPEARANCE. M. Gullmnnt is a man of medium stature with a beautiful head over which thick silvery locks wave fcoftiy, unJ a fate full of spirituality and swept by a silvery b?ard. But. what shall be said of the music ho evoked from the fine new orgm recently placed in the church by Mrs. PrlsclllJ. Ben nett. Kvsn tho unpractised ear could lecognlzo the touch of the master as his hands swept tho keys in the bril liant Toccata und Fuue In X minor with which the programme opened. Most of all perhaps M. Ouilmant's playing Imprcasen tho listener with Its majestic smoothness, the wonderful command of nil technique and all the nrt of composition. It is the absence of all artifice that males the greatness of the ait, the subservience of all me chanical devices to expression. There Is no pedaling, and no changing of reg istration Is apparent and yet this reg istration is so marvelous aa to surpass understanding. Perhaps no numbers gave more pleas ure In the first part of the programme than the little "In Paradlslum," by Dubois, and the exquisite rendering uf tho Andante Cantnblle of Wldor. The climax was, however, the famous Fifth Sonata by the great performer him self a work so dllllcult that it is at tempted by few organists, nnd which he gave In full with the five move ments, Including the Chorale and Fugue. The allegro with Its spirited and brilliant phrasing poured Its theme forth In wave after wave of harmony until, ns the volume swelled forth into the finale, such an emotion was aroused that an Involuntary burst of applause lose from the vast audience. SCHERZO THEME. Tho solemn und deep beauty of tho Adagio, with tho rich 'cello-like strain of an undertone, was played with pas sion and intensity, which yet brought out the restful tenderness of the theme to an almost Inconceivable degree. In the hprightlinesH of the Scherzo theme was the marvelous smoothness of tone, the melting of ono strain Into another which even lu the staccato passages left a gracious trail of harmony sel dom brought out on the organ. Tho Chorale and Fugue, so dignified and stately In conception, was fascinating In Its enthely unmonotonous render ing. By request M. Gullmnnt Improvised on the theme "Antloch," a verse of which wns sung by tho great audience. The brilliant exhibition of skill and genius which followed will not soon be forgotten by those who listened. It Is impossible to describe range of con ception of variety and yet classic fidel ity to nit In this performance. One of the most inspiring numbers was the "Flat Lux" of Dubois, which wns new to most of the listeners, Under the master's hand the Ideal theme soared like a lark above the cares of life and heralded the dawn commanded by the Infinite. Tho concluding number was a Marche Pontificate by F. de la Tombelle, which embodied a grandeur of style and maj esty of expression only heard at best on the king of Instruments. The excellent choir of the First church, composed of Miss Barnum, Miss Katherine Timberman, T. R. Wil liams and C. W. Smith, with C. G. Goodrich, the church organist ns ac companist, gave a Te Deum by Chap man. The quartette Is a strong one, In which Miss Tlmhermon's powerful contralto Is heard to advantage, Tho other vocal number, a duet by Messrs. Williams and Smith, was rendered with fine effect and received with enthusi astic applause. SCRANTON'S DELEGATION. Tho audience left the Iioubq awed and hushed and uplifted by the voice of the organ speaking beneath a ma gician's touch. The Scranton delega tion expressed a unanimous feeling of appreciation for Mr. Pennington's ef forts in securing such a privilege which was denied at home. Much credit Is also due Mrs. 8. T, Jones and Miss Edith Jones for faithful service in the enterprise of securing the advantages of special train and low rates. Among those who made up the Scranton party were Hon. and Mrs. L. A.

AOED WOMAN HURT. Fell on n Slippery Stdewnlk on Lower Lncknwnnnn Avenue. An aged woman living at 320 Wash ington avenue and said to le a Mrs. Jones, fell on the slippery sidewalk on lower Lackawanna ovenuo about 12 o'clock Inst night and was quite fo vcrcly hurt. She was accompanied by a man thought to be her son and was assisted by him and others Into Kauff man's restaurnnt. After lelng taken In a carrlngo to the address given on Washington avenue Dr. W, G. Fulton was summoned to attend her. Ho found no bones broken but tho patient was suffering from bruises nnd shock. She Is about 03 years old. WHITEHOUSE COMMITTED. Sent to the County Jail to Await tlie Result ol Ills Wile's Injuries. Says It Was an Accident. Ell Whltehouso, who shot his wife at their home near the Pyne Thurs day afternoon, was committed to the county Jail yesterday by Alderman Da h to await the lesult of his wife's injuries.' The details of tho shooting were printed exclusively In The Trib une yesterday morning. Mrs. White house was removed to the West Side hospital yesterday. Her leg Is fright fully shattered, and If she recovers sho will) he maimed for life. The phys icians nt the hospital hope for the re covery of the woman. Whltehouse'a relatives asserted yes terday that the bhootlng was entirely accidental and was done whllo Mr. find Mis. Whltehouse were wrestling for the possession of the gun. The following conveisatlon, which occurred Thursday night at the Whltehouso res idence, In the presence of County De tective Leyshon, Chief of Police Ev ans, of Taylor, Constable Tim Jones and a Tribune reporter, gives rather a bad black eye to the accident theory: "Oh, Eli, why did you do it?" said Mrs. Whltehouse, ns she lay on a couch, suffering untold pain from the gun-shot wound "I couldn't' help it, you drove me to it," replied Whltehouse. "If you would only leave dilnk alone," she said, "we wouldji't have nny trouo'e." "I can't do It," replied Whltehouse. Whltehouse afterward showed, with the gun In his hand, the way he stood when the shot was fired, but tried to explain that It was discharged acci dentally by striking against the table. That was Impossible, as the table was not near where he stood when the shot was fired. Mrs. Whltehouso has told teveral conflicting stories about the shooting, the tenor of which proves that she Is anxious to save her hus band from the consequences of his ter rible deed. She was admitted to tho West Side 'lospltal yesterday morning end carefully examined by Dr. Houser and the louse physicians. If she re covers, and they ore hopeful that sho will, she will be confined to the hos pital for a lonp time. A brother of Mrs. Whltehouse went before Alderman Kenny, of the Twen 13 -first ward, Thursday night and sworo out a warrant for tho arrest by W hltehoue, and the warrant was placed In the hands of Constable John Wulsh, of the Twenty-first ward. Ho ient to the Pyne yesterday morning at 6 o'clock In company with another official, and there learned that the pris oner was confined In the West SIdo station iioutse. They then returned to the police station and demanded tho man's release, so that they could tako him before Alderman Kenny, where relatives had arranged to ball him out, but Detective Leyshon refused to sur render the prisoner, nnd, after tho healing before Alderman Davis, he was taken to the county jail by Detective Leyshon and Constable Jones.
