THE WESLEYAN CONCERT.
Wns Followed by n Dance in Bicycle
Club House.
The Wesleyan University musical
dubs canto to town under happy nil
spices. Whatever the young ladles'
guilds of St. Luke's church take up is
reasonably sure to be a sttcess. Last
night's concert at the Parish hall was
no exception. There was a largo unci
enthusiastic audience and many en
cores were given. The Wesleyan Gleo
and Mandolin clubs are not as large
as many college organizations, but
there was an unusual volume of tone
In tho vocal work, and very satisfac
tory instrumental numbers.
The solo work was especially good,
Mrs. Espy's violin selection, and the
songs of Mr. Montgomery being ren
dered in a most satisfactory manner.
Tho quartette "Drink to Me Only
With Thine Eyes, ' was among the
best in the programme.
A funny feature of the evening was
the Impromptu procession that raced
back and forth between the Lyceum
and the Parish hall. The moment a
party of the college boys was re
leased from duty on tho platform,
the proceeded to streak across to hear
their rival.-; on the other side of th
street, sometime:! with nearly disast
rous effect In meeting midway in their
mad haste.
At the conclusion of the Wesleyan
concert a danco was given at tln
Bicycle club where u large numbe'
of young folks spent several hours
most pleasantly. The Columbia men
were also Invited, and many were
presen.. l'he affair was In every re
spect a grpat success, 'the patronesses
were: Mrs. Rogers Israel, Mrs. H. W.
Kingsbury, Mrs. Mary Phelps, Mrs.

hut luckily not fatal, accident at the
South Steel mill.
Conboy is about IS years of age, and
is employed as a brakeman. Yester
day forenoon he was riding on one of
the company's small engines, and It
was. where the steel mill tracks cross
the tallroad tracks that the accident
occurred.
One of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company's locomotives
crashed Into the little engine, und in
the general mlx-up Conboy was badly
injured. His skull was fractured, and
he was taken In a semi-conscious
state to the Moses Taylor hospital.
During the afternoon h made good
progress and In the evening was get
ting along very well.

Concert for the Inmates Given Last
Night.
An entertainment was conducted last
evening In the amusement hall at th

zens' bund, of North Scranton, fur
nished music and Charles a Hartley,
of this city, gave an e.Milbltlcn of ven
triloquism and probably never had a
better pleased audience in his life. A
phonograph concert was also given by
Isaac Kvans, of West Scranton.

The speechmnklng wns begun just
before coffee. Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban
found his tralntlmo approaching and
had to excuse himself. President Tay
lor would not let hint go until ho had
said a few words to the alumni.
Bishop Hoban said he regretted ex
ceedingly that he could not enjoy tho
feast to come, as ho had that which
Mr. O'Neil had served. He paid a nice
compliment to old 'Penn and congratu
lated the university on tho spirit of
liberality displayed In Introducing In
Its curriculum a course of lectures on
philosophy by Dr. Shanahan, of the
Catholie university. He concluded by
wishing the university all prosperity
nnd the alumni a happy new year.
With a few timely opening remarks.
Dr. Taylor Introduced Mayor Molr to
extend the freedom of tho city to the
alumni.
MAYOR MOIR'S REMARKS.
The mayor said he felt. In the pres
ence of such nn assemblage of "all
college" men, ns if he had the distinc
tion of being tho representative of tho
"great unlearned." The Divine Provi
dence, however, he said, had only
again proved Its wisdom In his cas?,
for if he bad graduated from a college
he would have of necessity been a
Presbyter'an clergyman, for such was
the Invariable rule In tho Northern
Glens of Scotland, where he spent hlt
boyhood duys.
lie'extended tho freedom of the city

denrv schools in" !-'t. Thomas college.
The pretty n, ag "Memories," it
ten by "Billy" Gockel, of Wllkes
Barre, nnd adopted as one of tho 'var
sity songs, was rendered In excellent
voice by O. P. Krleg, '9! college.
Dr. W. G. Wenvor, of Wllkes-Barre,
who is best known here as one of the
surgeons' of the Ninth regiment, was
next Introduced to respond to the toast
"Medicine." Dr. Taylor referred to
him ns "a man come from the little
city by tho big river to tho big city
by the little river."
Dr. Weaver was greeted with a "Hoo
rah! Hoo-rah! Weaver!" that came
with such suddenness and vehemence
that he had to make two or three gasps
before he caught his breath.
Dr. Weaver's speech dealt mainly
with the great progress that has been
made In medicine during the past thir
ty years, especially In bacteriology.
Five years ago he said there were eighty-eight
fatal cases of diphtheria in
his city, while this year In a larger
city, the total Is only eight. Surgical
operations are now performed, he said,
that would startle Gross and Agnew.
REV. DR. GIFFIN'S ADDRESS.
Rev. Dr. Glllin was next introduced
to speak of "Ministers and Other Men."
Dr. Gillln's response was a succession
of pointed comments, delivered In his
usual epigrammatic style and punctu
ated with anecdotal illustrations, of
the most interesting order, and told in
a most clever way.
Ho made a humorous play on the
printed sentiment accompanying his
toast. Dean Swift's analysis of hu
manity: "Men, Women and Clergy
men," saying that if any thought the
last class did not belong to tho first
he wns badly mistaken
He then made u plea for more con
sideration of the clergy. He said his
eyes were caused to bulge by hearing
Dr. Weaver talking of doctors who
earned $25,000 a year. He himself rode
a 25-mlle circuit when a young man
for $23 a month. A farm hand In those
days got $30 a month and board. Tho
doctor had to pay his own board and
keep a horse. The farm hand, too, ate
a peck to his pint.
The minister doesn't want any cod
dling, he said. Just give him as fair
treatment ns you give other men.
Don't always consider him a select
specimen of sanctity and scarcity.
Alfred Wooler sang "Mary" and
"Maid of Dundee," after which Dr.
H. V. Logan in response to the toast
"Tho Medical Alumni," paid an elo
quent and graceful tribute to the uni
versity and Us alumni.
Dr. Barker, professor of physics, had
aslgned to him the toast "Physics
and Metaphysics," to which was this
accompanying sentiment:
"There are more things In heaven and
earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in our philosophy."
Hamlet.
That couplet is still true, Dr. Bar
ker said. Recently ho wus In ,na
Royal Institution of England and saw
hydrogen liquified. Tliw, the gas that
had resisted all attempts to trans
form It Into a liquid had at lust given
In to science. At Heidelberg he saw
the latest discovered element, un ele
ment that Illumes by Its own light,
without any outside aid, and which
promises to do all In the way of light
ing that electricity now does. He him
self could enumerate enough now
things to keep them all night,

ASSIGNMENT AUDI;
BY LEBECK & CORIN
PROPRIETORS OF THE LEADER
EMBARRASSED.
Heavy Investments in Winter
Goods Which Failed to Movo ns
Expected, Because of tho Lateness
of tho Season, and tho Fact That
the Firm Hnd Placed All Its Cap
ital in Increasing tho Business Is
Attributed ns tho Cause of Their
Inability to Meet Obligations.
Lebeck & Cotin, proprietors of tho
Leader department store on Wyoming
avenue, yesterday, made nn assign
ment to II. A. Zimmerman, for the
benefit of their creditors. Their main
store and the brunch In Carbondalu
were both closed. The firm, however,
hopes that an nrrangement may bo
made with their creditors, whereby tho
stores can be opened nnd the business
continued.
The ilrm attributes their embarrass
ment to the lateness of tho winter. In
anticipation of a big season they gave
heavy orders for winter goods. Tho
mild weather, however, caused a slow
movement and they llnd themselves
unable to meet their obligations. Their
stock, they claim, Is good for ull they
owe and If the creditors ate brought to
tho same opinion tho likelihood Is that
the stores will bo reopened.
Messrs. Lebeck & Corln ure young
men who started In with small capital
nnd kept putting tho earnings of tho
business Into enlargements and Im
provements. They succeeded E. Gor
man llvo years ago when the store was
doing a very small trade. By their
push and energy they increased It
gradually till the store has become one
of the largest In the city.
Three times during the live years
they have been compelled to add to
tho lloor space and only last year
they thoroughly remodelled the whole
store and put In one of the most at
tractive fronts to be found on a store
anywhere. These things placed all
their capital in their business and
when the disappointment came they
were left without available resources.
The creditors will come together, it
is expected, In a day or two, and make
some arrangement with the assignee
whereby tho least loss will result to
them.
Suits Against the Lackawanna.
Tho trespass cases of Charles S.
Lowry and his wife. Anna. M. Lowry,
