Fine Wall Papers
At Half

having finished our nnnual Inventory
of stock we find a lot of Remnants
nr.d small quntlttcs, enough for
one or two 100ms of each, which we
want to clear out to tnako room
for larger quantities of other
patterns, and offer them at half the
usual prices while they Inst. This
is a good chance to get real
baigalns in fine Wall Papeis
where small quantities aie wanted.
The variety of patterns and colors is
large, but tho quantity of each
is limited. We want to get them
out tho store before spilng trade
begins.

lor Work Bone on No. 35, and
Wanted to Know Who Authorized
It Mr. Bnttln Is Mr. Baiker's
Brothei-ln-law, but the Latter
Said He Didn't Authoilze Woik.
Barker Was "Real Cunning."
The roililng hoard of control wound
up It? affairs last evening In n vtt li
able blac of Rloty by furnlahltit? u
delightful little caustic and heated de
bate on the question Who nuthoiized
plumbing work amounting to $70." 1'S In
Xo, 3" school building? It wus claim
ed by some Out Mr, Ilaiker author
ised tho wotk done nnd the fact was
pointed out that II. S. Unttin, who did
the work, 13 -ir. Market's brother-in-law.
The matter wo, Hist hrounht up by
Chnltman Sillies, of the building com
mittee, who Raid that body had con
sidered tho bill nnd didn't feel Justified
In paying it until thev knew who
autliuiized the expendltute. Tho de
bate that followed was exceedingly
lhi'ly. Mr. Itarker explained that he
left the matter to Stipeiltitendcnt of
l'.epalrs Uavl.s, nnd the chairman of
the building committee, Iwr. Shire,
thought at lltHt that the work would
only cost about $in. Mr. Gibbons then
made a lew satltic.il l email.
mi:, c.innoxs' hi;mauks.
"Jim loo . at Oils for extravagance!
Look at thin for a leil.lehs wav of
doing business! I n vor aiitliotlid
woilt amounting to ocn ?10n In my
tlftcen .veins on Ihe board. Mr H.n
kei' tilci to lay it on Mi. Pavls, hut
mo tiuth Ik he ought to p,i. the bill
himself. Mr. liattlii Is bis biothet -Inlaw,
ntiu of cotu.so ho wont to him
and F.ild, 'biothei-ln-1 iw, go ahead I'll
ataud for It.'
"I was attacked because my brother
got .a coal tontr.u't, but he got Out
ronti.ict faiily and honcrtly. Mr. Uai-
kot v. antp to keep his o n fi'ili's clean
bi loio ho talks of anyone else. I move
that the bill be recommitted to the
committee to fco if the v. oik Iips been
done."
Mr. Batkor then stated that he didn't
order the wotl: dene. He adinllteJ
that Mr. Tlaltln was bis brother-in-
law and didn't see lhat that was any
icason why lie 'houldti't get the work
He peislbtcd In saying that Mr. Davis
authoiized the work.
iMr. DavN then tool: the Iloor by re
quest and gae a little rtllfe'cnt ver
hlou of tlu affair. Ho Mated that he
met Mr. Barker on the sticet and that
the latter told him thete was some
wotk to be done right away at Xo. 33.
Mi. T)avh' s.itd he wanted to btlng tlio
matter before the eommlttie, but Mi.
Barker said that the woik should he
done tight away and they couldn't
wait for the committee. Mr. Davis
asked who he should send and Mr.
Batker said anyonj ho liked, but sug
gested Mr Bittln. Mr. Di!b s-nt
Mr. Battln up, nnd not knonlng any
thing about plumbing, didn't know
how much It would bi.
DAVIS DIDN'T KNOW.
This last lemark prompted Mr. Gib
bons to exclaim: "Look ut that will
you. Mr. Batker knew that Mr. T)aI
didn't know nn thing about pMimblng
and so ho wmt to bin.. Look nt that
for cunning."
Mr. Gibbons' motion to tefer back
to the committee was itmpnded to read i
"to tho committee, rnglnoer t'iillllps '
and the plumbing Inspector," and wa3 i
cairlcd. Mr. Barker snccended Jn hav
ing Mr. Gibbons Iniludert and bald that I
if theio was oiig foot of pipe thargfd
for that was net put In he'd o
against the bill. Homo oni t 'm.iikoil
that tho iiiotlon at I'iio w:,s not that
but was as to who autlioi led the
woik. The muter chopped hoie, how
evet. On the ici ommerdation of the tcach

SYMPHONY CONCERT.
it Is apparent that at last the Sjm
phuny oichestra Is attaining to fonie
ilogice the position It should lltmly
hold in the appreciation of the people
of this city. That Oils appreciation has
long been duo Is unmistakable. The
pity of It Is that the Sciantcin public Is
often as dilatory In accotdlng the Jut
meed ot clicouiageinent to tine met It
as In woiklng lefotm in uumklpal uf
falts. Thete was a full house last night,
and this means a great deal for a con
cert In Scranton and especially on such
ti cold night, when the warm lltc!dc
oftcis such chaims. The piogiammu
was undoubtedly the best yet given by
the oiL'unlzatlon A iniukod Impiove
imnt was oxldci'.t In ueiy department
over the status of last c,ir. More con
lldencc, moio artistic capacity weto un
deniably momlnent in tho ensemble
work. In no respect was the ndwmcc
moie emphatic than In the accompani
ment to Ban Williams' solos, The def
erence to tho theme, the H'cogultlon of
the pie-emlnenco of On voice In thesj
numbers made a most giaeful tontt 1st
to much otchistial accompaniment1!
he.nd even fiom fnr moio indentions
coniblnatlotis.
In till this the highest tilbtito of
piaNo Is due Piofcs-ot Theoilote Ilom
betger, whoso gtcat gifts as a leader
hao heietofote tecehed but liieagto
neknowleilKcmeul on this side of the
wntei. That he has not been over-es-Oinatiiig
the mateilal at hand in tills
clt. is also beginning to bo icnllzcd.
The gtcat i:i;:hth S.Muphony of
Beethoven lllled tho llrst patt of the
piogtiiiinni , nnd as .it audiences ato
most enchanted with that which is
lainlllar and tliciefoie dear, the alle
gietto movement natuially was antici
pated with most caguiniss. It was
given with u s-pltlted delicacy of lntet
pietatlon anil .i pet feet ton of uccotd
whlen sutinlsed many fastidious llrt
cnets. The minuet was a btrlklng ex
ample of the capabilities of the or
ihesti.a under ptott.icted ttulnlng, and
tho last movement of tho symphony
wns no less maiked In tho exposition
of Its uplltted sentiment.
The nudlotueeared most for tho scenic
splendor and the bwlng ot the Cotona-
Oon March, and on this occasion, as
on many otheis, the popular verdict
goes to Meyci beet's vltlle stialns, the
mat tlai ling, the Hutteiing pennants,
the splendoi of his composition. The
concluding oveituie by Auber was ex
ticmely well plajcd, the noble sway
ing harmony being a fitting number for
tho llnale. Nothing, however, was
moio .definitely pleasing than the ex
quisite, pastel-llko Intel mezzo from
I'lothetoe's oratorio, "St. Peter." It
was poetry unhlndeted by consonants,
uuttammeled by mechanism, and It was
given with the distinct Idea ot Identi
fying its chaini.
Dwm Williams received an ovation,
one that was continuous and insistent
from his Hist nppoarance on tho plat
fotm. Indeed the audience wa3
scatcely geneioub to him when, after
his Initial number which was exhaust
ive In character he was evidently so
leluctnnt to slug an encoie. Ills ren
dition "f tho Melbtei singer solo was
a ttiumph of ait. Above tho sighing
of the violins like the sound of thu
I lain el tiee of which he sang, lifted the
I splendid olce, full of the diamatio
fervor, the llch coloring, without which
i Wagneilan music loses Its boul.
1 The encore, "AH Through the Night,"
, to which Mr J. Willis Conant played
a most sympathetic accompaniment,
was the antithesis of the foimer solo.
With It:, dim mvstlclMii, Its thillllng,
pathetic .sentiment. th gieat tenor
cached the summit of niO.stle feeling
Natuially all Inteiest ccutcied In
the fiounod number. "Lend Me Your
Uu." fiom the Queen of Sheba. Those I
who 1p ml Mr. Williams slug this be- j
fote, held yet the haunting memoty i
of his tines. Those who had never i
listened to him pieviouly lolt an in
explicable tension of the wives be
cause of the expectant atmospheie.
Ovciiouiiiig .1 slight hoiifeness be
foio tho close of the lecltatlon, ho
gave the most adequate conception of
the at la in it- magnificent cllma that
could be imagined The tesonant
beauty ot his climax in this gieat tolo
Is honiethlng seldom equ illed on tho
opu.itlc stag". It affected his Hsteneis
like uu electtlcal eurtent of emotion.
j.o was ho gracious as to clve two
lisponsps to encores concluding with
the dainty tender, "Sing Me a Song of
Aiabv."
It Is to be hoped thnt Mr. Evan
Williams will pay us many a visit.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FOUR MEN HURLED
TO BOTTOM OF SHAFT
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT MT.
PLEASANT COLLIERY.
While n Cat lingo Was Being Lowered
Into the Shaft Yesterday Morning
It Struck the Safety Fans at One
of tho Veins, the Bottom of tho
Carriage Was Toin From Its Fas
tenings nnd tho Men Allowed to
Drop to the" Bottom.
At the Mt. Pleasant calllety, West
Hciatiton, u tow minutes before 7
n't lock yesterday morning, four men
wete killed, their bodies being precipi
tated to the- bottom nf the shaft, a
distance ot 130 feet, without the rllght
est winning either to themselves or
to the men working nt the foot of tho
shaft. The victims were:
J'ttANK WOOUWAHD, niied 21 jenrs, ot
i'I" Forest court; drill niuchtiio opera.
tor. Married.
JOHN HKOAN, need 3". jeais, of S11
Ballioad avenue; laborei. Leaves
wife and three elilldien.
THOMAS WILLIAMS, aged 3? yens, of
lki" Lafnettc street; labour. Leaves
wife nnd two children.
WILLIAM OILBU'T, aged 41 ears, of
"l'l Noith I llnioro avinue; dilver.
Lcnvis wlfo and six elilldien.
Ton workmen had enteied tho car
llage to be lowetcd Into tho different
mine workings, six of whom cot off at
i the Dunmoto vein. When the cairl.ago
be,:an Its ftiiOier decent towards thu
foot of tho shaft it struck one of tho
fans tit the Claik vein, which ate used
to hold tho e.iirl.igo when cats ato be
ing inn In and out of the opening.
There was a clash and On iloor of
the cnnlage wns sepitated ftnni its
holdings on one side, throwing the oc
cupants Into the fhaft, all of thein
falling headlong to the bottom.
INSTANTLY KILLBP.
Hogan and Gllbeit weto Instantly
killed, their bodies being hoiilhly man
gled. Williams and Woodwind wero
alive when lound, but died shoitly
nltcivvuiils. Just what caused tho ac
cident Is haul to deteiinltie, but tho
geneial supposition ot the employes
who ate lainlllar with the woi kings
Is that Mime one who got off op the l
c.uri.ige on inc previous tup nati ne-
glected to lock the tan nnd It .slipped
out of Its place, causing tho collision
when the cartage was lowetcd uftei
w ai ds.
That the above theoty is plauslbla
can be vouched for fiom the fact that
John Hcarn, the night engineer, had
been lowering the men Into tho mine
for some time before the accident oc
curred, and the trip which ended so
fatally was the first one made by nn
glnecr Jonathan Hughes after reliev
ing Henrn. The proper signals wero
given und everything was apparently
safe until the catrlage collided with
the fans.
Tho bodies were discovered at tho
foot of tho shaft by Samuel McNIchols,
who v.as standing near by when the
crash came. Ho notified the tire boss,
James Coulter, and the bodies weri
removed to the surface and afterward
taken to tho homes of the unfortunate
victims. The news of the accident
spread rapidly and hundreds of people
were assembled at the head when tho
bodies were taken out.

ESTIMATES COMMITTEE.
The Department Heads to Explain
Things Tonight.
The joint estimates committee meets
this evening for tho second time, and
tho various aggrieved heads of depart
ments who looked with dismay at last
Wednesday evening's ruthless slaugh
ter of their estimates will be on hand
to beg for quarter.
An effort Is being made to have at
least three or four extra policemen
added to the pay rolls, but this is
practically Impossible, as In order to
do It It would be necessary to take
out an amount sufficient for their sal
aries from the estimates of some other
department already filed down to the
thinness of a hair.
It Is now a settled matter that the
additional permanent men asked for
will not be allowed as It Is a positive
Impossibility to secure the money to
pav them.
