ST. HRENDKN'S CONCERT.
Fully 1,500 persons stood, leaned and
sat in tho vicinity ot tho rooms occu
pied by St. Hrenden's council, No. 243,
Young Men's Institute, over Jenkins'
Pharmacy, corner Main avenue and
Jackson street, last evening to enjoy
the splendid band music provided by
this society of popular young men.
Their object was two fold, first to
provide the public of this side with nn
enjoyable evening of music, and sec
ondly to advertise their coming excur
sion to Lake Ariel, Aug. 9. They suc
ceeded admirably In each Instance. A
platform was erected Immediately In
front of the shoe store of Evans and
Powell, by their kind permission, and
therefrom Lawrence's band discoursed
sweet music. During the progress of
the concert a Chinese lantern contain
ing three tickets for the excursion wns
set ntloat from tho building and the
tickets were secured by William Saul,
Thomas Barrett and Joseph Duffy. The
clarionette solo "My Winnie," Is wor
thy of special notice, as It is probably
the finest composition of Its kind yet
heard In this city. It is In three parts,
the two first polka and the last a pol
onaise. The piece throughout, by Its
pure simplicity nnd beauty, enables the
performer to bring out all those rich
vibrant effects of which the clarion
ette is so admirably adopted. The solo
ist, R. G. Knowles, the veil known
piano tuner, gave a rendition of this
pence which readily Justifies his efforts
both as performer and composer. The
rest ot tho programme vas well receiv
ed, particularly the march "Hotel
arebodse

Hart," by Alexander, of Wllkes
Rarre, and "Merry Minstrels," a char
acteristic medley. It Is to be hoped
that tho city will soon find means of
creating n, regular series of open nlr
bnnd concerts as they nro certnlnly
well appreciated and largely attended.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE.
Perilous Ride of Fifteen Men on Car
riages in the Continental Mine.
Names of the Injured.
Fifteen men had a narrow escape
from death at the Continental mines
yesterday shortly before 12.30 o'clock.
As It Is, one man will be confined to
his home with a broken leg, another
lies seriously Injured by a deep gash
on the right sldv of his head, and still
another Is probably Injured Internally.
The others are badly bruised and
shaken up and several are suffering
from tho shock. The escape of all from
Instant death or terrible Injury is al
most miraculous.
The Injured men are William Mor
gans, blacksmith, leg broken: James
Flynn, assistant driver boss, head
gashed, and John Polack, assistant
blacksmith, probable Internal Injuries.
Morgans resides near the Archbald;
Flynn, on Twenty-fourth street, and
Polack on Keyser avenue. All were
removed to their homes nnd given med
ical aid. The others resumed work
after recovering from tho Jolting.
Just how the accident really did
happen will never he known, but Fn
glneer Snow nays that while hoisting
he took his hand from the lever for an
instant to blow the 12.30 whistle. In
that Instant the accident happened.
As Is customary, tho men employed
about the foot of the shaft and thoao
at the head came up and down at noon
to eat their dinners In or about tho
engine house. They return to their re
spective stations a few minutes before
the 12.30 recall nnd were doing this
when the accident occurred. The one
"carriage" uas brought to the ground
landing and those going down got on.
There were eleven men nnd they were
let down the shaft until the other car
riage reached the landlnsr. Here tho
other four mm got on. The carriages
then had about ll feet to go to the
top nnd bottom. They went.
The one struck tho sheave wheel,
and tho men were thrown about but
only bruised. These four were: John
Swingle, docking boss, nnd three Po
landers who work on the "bars." Tho
other carriage dropped onto the bottom
and the men were- thrown In all direc
tions. Beside the three mentioned ns
injured seriously, thero were on tho
cnrrlage, Jeffrey Powers, pump runner;
Thomas Harris, William Roderick, Jo
seph Roboskl nnd W. John Davis,
footmen; William GleaFon, driver
boss: Edwnrd Thomas, greaser, and a
Polander laborer. The shaft was de
luyed about -10 minutes to straighten
out things.

Be Very 111 at Camp Alger Notes
of n Personal Nature.
Mrs. Herman 'Saar, of Willow street,
after a four months' stay at Chlcogo,
returned to tlie city yesterday morn
ing nnd was arrested at noon by Con
stable Jack Chase on a warrant Issued
by Alderman Storr. Miss Lena Ehr
ardt, formerly a neighbor of Mrs.
Saar, charges her with having threat
ened to slap her face. It is alleged
that the threat was made a day or two
previous to the departure of the de
fendant for Chlcaf). Mrs. Snar wns
arraigned for a hearing last night and,
Incident to tho proceedings, she made
statements reflecting on the character
of the prosecutrix. When placed on
tho witness stand Mrs. Sanr asked tho
magistrate to allow her to make a clear
and full statement ot the cnuse of the
trouble. Her request was granted. She
said that seven months ago she was
married to her husband. After a short
time he began to relax In his kindly
and affectionate conduct towards her.
Instead of passing his leisure hours
with her, he called on Miss Ehrardt
and remained at her homo for hours.
Further than a friendship existed be
tween her husband and his fair neigh
bor she believed nothing more serious
existed. It appeared to her that Miss
Ehrardt was attempting to make her
llfo miserable. Laboring under such a
distressing Impression she made the
statement at divers times that she
would slap Miss Ehrnrdt's face.

ence towards her, she left him four
months ngo, selling the household ef
fects that were purchased by her and
went to Chicago.

duty. News of her arrival In the city
was communicated to Miss Ehrardt,

the heart-broken young woman, but
his duty, In the fnce of tho evidence
given, compelled him to hold her In
1200 ball for her appearance at court.
Her husband's father, Philip Saar,
qualified as her bondsman.
Mr. Saar caused somewhat of a sen
sation In tho court by scoring his son
and Miss Ehrnrdt In scathing terms
for their treatment of his daughter-in-law.
He denounced their actions as a
conspiracy to ruin her life. In a father
ly manner he led his daughter-in-law
from tho alderman's ofllce. He told
the alderman that If his son was not
man enoush to support his wife, he
would. Mrs. Saar was a Miss Lena
Shue, a Hollander, before her mar
riage. CENTURY MEETING.
