ANOTHER BREWERY COMBINE. New One Hns Secured the Battel Brewery nt Edwnrdsvllle. "An extensive brewery deal was dos ed the lntter part of the v"ek when the linrtul browery. of IMwnrdsvllli'. which recently lietrnn operp.tlons, was disposed of to a Now York nyntilcute," says the Wllkes-Harre lteconl. "The papers for several weeks have contain ed accounts of the syndicate's opera tions In New York state, but It has not been sunposed Unit they contem plated an Invasion of J'ennsylvanln. "Satisfactory options were (-.retired from the various stockholders of the Hartel brewery. Herman Hartel, tin well known Kyrncuse brewer, Is presi dent of the ldwardsvllle company and the principal utocklinUlcr. This btcnv cry, however, Is In no way connected with the Syracuse content of the same name. Among those In this wclnlly who re Interested In the brewery tiro 1. J. liutleilpe, who If malinger, and Jlr. Iteed, the secretary and treasurer of the company. Other stockholders are S.lvester J'auksr.tls. of Kdwnrds vllle, il. ('. lUissell and Joseph 'Wal laec. "Tho now brewery syndicate Is com posed entirely of New York capitalists and they have been successful In gain ing; control of a large number of Now Y01 k concerns. "Mr. Need, the secretary and treas urer of the Bartel company, Informed 11 Uocord reporter last evening that while this deal had been practically closed, all of the stockholders having agreed to the sale, no formal transfer of In terest had yet been made, and that the business would not be transferred for some time. The present management will bo continued for sewral months nnd consequently no change will b made In the force. The change of own ership will not affect the output and the business will bo conducted along the same lines as at present. Mr. I'nr tel, it Is understood. Is not Interested In the ."yndlcate. He has built several bil-weries, which lie has sold soon after they began operations, the Lack awanna brewery at Scranton being an example. It wns built by Messrs. Uar tl and Hand, Mr. Hartel disposing of his Interest soon after Its erection. "The Hartel browery of Kdwardsvllle was built about a- year ago and opera tions were begun the first of last July It Is fitted up with the litest Improved machinery and has a capacity equal to that of any brewery In the northeast ern part of the state. The cost of erec tion was $300,000. The present output Is about 1,200 barrels per week, and about fifty men are employed." When the local brewers combine was organized In this vicinity Hartel said he was going to stnrt a brewery In this city to light the syndicate, but. lie finally decided to locate his plant at Edwardsvllle.

The city had an option on the tatter lot, but the negotiations for Its sale fell through. Sir. Fuller failed to notify the continctor of this and al lowed hltn to construct the sewer In front of both lots, without correcting the false Impression thnt he had 'signet for them both. When payment was de manded Sir. Fuller would only settle for the corner lot, for which he had sighed, nnd the conti actor went Into court to recover from Sir. Fuller the nfessment on both lols. Judge 1'dwards holds that the under taking between the parties was simply one of contract. The defendant, he says, signed the written agreement for his corner lot only and Is therefotc only liable for one hundred and forty feet. The tilalntlff Is also directed to pay back to the defendant $21.7.1, which he Inadvet tently overpaid. DIPHTHERIAPRDVALENT. Fifteen New Caues Reported Yes terday Physicians Say Cases of It Are Always Numerous at This Time of Year. The continued prevalence of diph theria is occasioning no little comment among physicians In all parts of the city. Fifteen new- cases were reported to the hoard of health yesterday, prob ably cases which developed durJtig Frl day. Saturday and Sunday, while six teen new ens-'cs were reported during last week. Allhoii'jli the disease prevails every year at this season, so many new cases within so short a period Is unusual and It Is possible that physicians, stirred Ijv the recent excitement over tho No. "S fdiool cases, have been more alert than common to niuke their reports as reciulred by law. The fifteen new cases reported yes terday are distributed as follows: Providence, 7; tlreen Ridge, central city and Hellevue, 2 each; West Side and South Side, 1 each. Last week's new enses were: Hellevue, !); West Side and central city, 1! each; Providence, CIrccn Ridge and South Side, 1 each. However, no deaths from the disease during this period have been reported. A well-known physician, In discuss ing the disease with a Tribune reporter yesterday, said: "It Is a mistake to make any special comment on diph theria just now. It is n disease Infec tious and contagious and consequently common at all times of the year nnd always very general at this seafon. I have no doubt that every other case reported as diphtheria is nothing more than tonsllltls or something similar. AVhy the cases are reported as diph theria. Is something 1 have my opinion about, but do not care to discuss." Dr. AV. K. Allen, health olllcer of the city, said last night In response 'to a Tribune reporter's Inquiry: "No, there Is no significance to be nttached to the many cases of diphtheria. It Is always prevalent nt this time of the year and is no more general now than In past years at this season. There Is posi tively no reason, excuse or cause for putting anything In your paper about it." SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Brilliant Musical Event Attracted a Large Audience to the Lyceum. The Symphony Orchestra society gave perhaps the most generally sat isfactory concert In the series of the past three years at the Lyceum last evening before a large and distin guished audience. Gradually people 4if this region nre awaking to the fact that we have a magnificent and per manent musical organization capable of doing work which would be a pride to nny city. No singer ever received such an ova tion as that given to the great tenor, Kvan AVilllnms, nnd the beautiful work of the orchestra also brought out warm applause. It Is to be hoped that the Jlendels-sohn-Hartholdy Symphony, rendered In such a masterly manner last evening will be repeated on a future occasion, for no listener can become too well acquainted with such a production. The allegro movement gave special scope to the work the violinists in the organization are callable of Internret tlng, while the contagious excitement of the fugo was enhanced by the rich effect of the wood-wind and cellos. The stately Pllgilm's '.March with Its pathos and weird grandeur was excep tionally well produced. The light, soft Introduction of "The AVater Can lets,' by Cherublnl, was extremely well Interpreted, and In this number Kugene Hum's Mute work was1 nttended with exceptional effect, al though the production as a whole did not show as much study as the former composition. The blight, little Orey numbers, by request, were pluyed with Intelligence and feeling and gave a cei talu character of versatility to the pro gramme otherwise lacking. Too much cannot be said of Kvan AVilllnms and his magnetic tenor, nor of his dignified, yet ardent, conception of his art. The famous "Lend Sle Your Aid," fiom Oounod's "Queen of Sheha," was sung by him as It was never be fore heard In tills city. The Impas sioned grace of his work, united with the full and Incomparable richness of his tones, gave his llsteneis a new sen sation. At the climax of this great solo the audience was wrought to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, the evi dence id' which must have astonished those Interested. If they recalled It In calmer moments. The mnglclan with his fairy gift was not allowed to leuve until he had delighted the asscmblm1" with an exquisitely fuclle rendition In AVelsh of "Thou Oentle Dove." The Symphony society should be given credit for affording the people of Htruntou the treat of Iteming this famous tenor In his eaily career. The boxes were occupied by Mm William Council and party, .Indue and Sirs. H. SI. 1'dwards uml party, and Colonel K. H. Hlppl" and family. CONTEST COSTS $200 A DAY.

Archbald Learns That Mr. Duggan Did Not Knowingly Overrule the Court nnd Takes Back the Harsh Things He Said in the Opinion Filed Last Friday. John Gibbons did not appear befote the contest examiners yesterday, as was expected. Sir. Holgate, ot counsel for the respondent, was unable to be present, owing to Illness In his family and the matter was allowed to go over The heating will probably come up to day. It developed yesterday that Judge Archlmld's action In so severely lebuk Ins iRxamlner T. J. Duggan on the opinion filed Inst Friday was tho result of a misconception of the facts In the case. Sir. Duggan, It appears, was not present nt the examination on the day when Judge Archbald made his ruling directing John millions to answer the questions that have been causing all the bother. Having been out of town and not bavins had time to read the morning pnpets, he went Into the hear ing the next morning totally Ignorant of the ruling of the day before, and when the questions were repeated he unwittingly disregarded the decree of court and sustained the objections that were made to the questions by Sir. Gibbons' nttorney, 1. II. Burns. DL'GGAN INF'OHSIl"D. It wns not until that afternoon that Sir. Duggan learned that he had gone counter to the ruling of the president Judge. Sir. Lewis, his follow-oxninlncr, said to him when the hearing wns con cluded: "That's a nice thing you've done, Duggan." "What's that?" Sir. Duggan queried. "Why, what you did this morning knocked out the court." Then, when Sir. Duggan expressed blank surprise at what his fellow-examiner was talking about. Sir. Lewis proceeded to explain, and for thf first time Sir. Duggan learned of the decis ion of the day before. Yesterday morning, nt the opening of court. Attorney John SI. Harris, In be half of Sir. Duggan, placed these facts before the court and made a request In the form of a motion to have Judge Archbald strike out of his opinion the paragraph criticizing Sir. Duggan. Judge Archbald, after satisfying him self thnt an injustice hud been done Sir. Duggan, made the following state ment from the bench: STRICKKN FROSI RICCORD. "I am sorry If nny li 'ustlce hns been done to Sir. Duggan. hJt It was sug gested here at the time of argument by counsel, nnd tnken for granted, that Sir. Duggan wns fully aware of the ptand taken by me In the matter, and we thought that possibly ho had made the ruling on his own responsibility, be cause the question was not passed upon by a full bench. If he had no knowl edge of the ruling, as has been said, I am most rendv and willing to set him right and would suggest that the ref erence to him be struck out, so It will not appear on the records. I hope the members of the bar will take genernl notice of this action and that the pub lic at large will be made as much aware of their action of court as It was the other one." Sir. Duggan holds himself blamabl for not having notified Judge Archbald of the facts of the case In due time. RESIGNATION OF MR. BULGIN. Wa3 Presented to His Congregation Sunday Night. Rev. R. R.
