LAST SYMPHONY CONCERT.
The Pitr.piiony Oichctra society gao Its
rlo t-iitii concert last night at the Lyceum to a
house in vliich were few vacant scats. Tlie ipj
srammc was In some respects the finest jet pre
sented by this organization of which Scran'on
is so proud. It lias continued through these
jcnr3 of discouragement, has given costly enter
tainments with small financial letuin, lias met
with lehuffs and ridicule at the pnsumptlcn of
establishing a permanent ordictrn capable of
pioduelng great works and jet in the face of all
the lndllTeriiicc has steadily praetlecd on and
semi-annually mule a public appearance.
As the months hate pissed the orchestra, un
der the Jndefatlcalile leader, Profcsor Hem
bcrger, has continued to gie compositions by
tlie gnat masters until listeners not especially
musical become interested in some of the themes
and found the haunting themes of some won
derful symphony or sonata lingered in memory
with the same pcisistcnce that rag-time melo
dies took up their abode. And our people have
grown to like the Sjmphony Orchestra bejond its
indiUeJual make-up.
At cae.li concert some great fjmphony lias
been produced. That ol llnjdn in 1) major was
a happy selection. 'Die simplicity ol the theme,
with the sincerity and forecfulness of the Prst
period made a stiong appeal to the sensibilities
of the nudience.
The amlante movement vas plajed with su
perb effect. Tho Individuality of the composer
is most truly felt in this and the violins es
pecially brought it cut. The lninuetto w-ltli Its
weird minor chords so raiely heard frem
Hajdn was given with the artistic interpreta
tion whose test was the unmistakable thrill
felt by every listener.
Tlie Oileg number was one of the most clev
erly pioduccd on the programme. The strange
NoiHi'gi.m sentiment walling throughout had
In It all the mystery ol sorrow- for the brlel
northern springtime elead, anil tlie prophecy of
the fleeting summer. In certain phrasing it
was the- most elaborately presented selection
of the evening.
'Hie quaint little seienade by Ilounaud was
an unusual attempt for the oichestra and its
hint of guitar and voice represented by 'he
above was most inn fully represented. Tlie
Schubert march was distinctive In its scope. The
final number, the great overture to the "Merry
Wives of Windsor," latiier unknown to Sei.ni
ton audiences, was me of the best things on
tho programme. There was a faint, viluaut
melody intiieatc and sweetly elu-hc in char
acter which the oichestu, as a whole, was most
successful in inteipiiting.
fiwilym Miles was in no sense a disappoint
ment. He is short in stature and slight, and
one is distinctly surprised at the tremendoua
volume of tone lie is capable of pfoducing at
will. Ills rendition ot tho Cav.itina from
"l'aust" was a marvilouily peifect performance,
lhe beauty and loundness of his voice had an
effective scope In tlie finale. There is a rli li,
vibrant quility most musical In a baritone voice.
Tlie first selection was mi st satisfactory in ids
programme, although he made a magnificent
finale in Pinsutl's "11011011111 Love Song."
Mr. Miles was most gracious in Ids response
to cncoies and gave delightful little songs, lie
was most satisfactorily accompanied on the
piano by Mr. Conant.
The concert was in all respects tho most suc
cessful in tlie series and Pride ssur Ilemberger is
to be congratulated for the final appreciation of
ids talent and that ot his orchestra.
A BIO VERDICT RETURNED.
Tho Eborvalo Coal Company Was tho
Dofendant.
In the Luzerne county courts yester
day the Jury In tlu case of Joseph
Stevenson vs. tho Ebervale Coal com
'J
plaintiff for $32,708. The verdict Is one
of the largest ever returned in the
county courts.
The plaintiff charges the Ebervale
and other coal companies with pollut
ing Xescopeck creek, upon which his
woolen mill was located, with culm and
refuse from their mines, thereby com
pelling him to suspend business and
entailing a loss of $ltiu,ooo, which was
the amount of damages he claimed.
If the Supremo court sustains the
verdict it will establish a new law In
the anthiaclte region, namely, that
coal companies must find some other
outlet for the refuse matter from their
mines besides public streams.
Tho Crawford County System
gives every citizen an opportunity to
run for olfice; then- is one ofllce, how
ever, that requires a man of good
physleiue, good Judgment ns well as
experience to fill it, and that Is tho
shci lit's oillce. In Deputy Jacob I).

act to promote him, ho has earned It.

CHARGED WITH
KILLING HIS FATHER
JAMES NOLAN AKBAIONED
FOB, TRIAL.
Ho Quarrollod with Ills Fathor Bo
causo tho Latter Objoctod to Hia
Attentions to Mrs. William Os
borne On tho Night of April 11
tho Fatal Blow Was Strnck An
Axo Said to Bo tho Weapon Used.
Only Ton Jurors Secured Thus
Far Talesmen Drawn.
James Nolan, of Carbondale, was put
on trial before Judjro II. M. KdwariK
In the main court room, yesterday
morning, chat tied with tlie murder of
his fathor, John Nolan.
The crime was committed at the
home of the Nolans, In the South Side
of Carbondale, on the night of Wed
nesday, April 11, last. Tho weapon
used was a small nxe, and the elder
Nolan died the next night In the Kmer
gency hospital at Carbondale. The blow
that caused death crushed In the skull.
The axe, with which It Is alleged the
blow was struck, lay on the common
wealth's table yesterday. It Is still
stained with blood.
There were no eye-witnesses to th'
crime, which was committed In the
kitchen of the house, but when young
Nolan was arrested, an hour or so after
the terrible assault, he admitted strik
ing his father, but said ht did It in
self-defense and did not know tho kind
of a weapon he used.
He made no effort to escape, going to
Williams' bottling works, where he was
taken Into custody an hour after ths
blow was struck by Constable Edward
J. Neary, of Carbondale, who Is tho
prosecutor In the case. Young Nolan
and other young men he associated
with made Williams' place a rendez
vous and it Is supposed ho went there
from force of habit. He was quiet, but
somewhat dazed, as well as somewhat
Intoxicated when placed under arrest.
WOMAN IN THIS CAS P..
A woman seems to have been tho
cause of the trouble between Xol.in
and his father.
She Is Mrs. William Osborne, of Car
bondale, whose husband was sentenced
a. year ago to a term in the peniten
tiary for seriously stabbing his brother-in-law,
a man named Walsh.
Nolan has been acquainted with Mis.
Osborne for several years, and both
before and since tho nrrcst of her hus
band was a frequent caller at her
home. His father did not like this and
frequently protested vigorously against
his son's attentions to Mrs. Osborne.
This caused bad blood between the
father and son and almost constant
friction and quariels.
On the day of tho crime they had
some difficulty and caily In the even
ing, It Is said, young Nolan was In the
cential part of Carbondale looking for
his father. He maile some tenmrks that
Indicated an evil disposition tovvatd
his parent. When he arrived home,
some time before 10 p. in., his father
was there and the fatal quarxel oc
curred. The pilsoner Is a quiet, serious-look
Ing man twenty-four years of age. lie
Is almost bald, there being only a scant
coveting of hair on the top of his head.
His smooth face was cleanly shaved
and ho was neatly, though not expen
sively dressed. His eyes nre mild and
deep-set, tho nose straight and well
formed, and one looks in vain for the
strong chin or firm-set Jaw eine expect1?
to find as a feature of such a man.
Altogether ho seems the antithesis of
the physical peculiarities that are com
monly associated with men who com
mit crimes, that nre grave, desperate
or unusual. He Is a mine worker In
occupation and has the reputation of
being peaceful but very quick tem
pered. Ho is unmarried.
HIS MOTHER IN COURT.
In the court room yesterday were
the mother, brother, two sisters and
brother-in-lnvv of the prisoner. The
mother is a sad-faced little woman,
whose pathetic features, framed by her
widow's bonnet, showed evident traces
of the great sorrow that came Into her
life when her husband was struck
dnvv,, liv tVif rati silip lnnlfnrl fnnvnnl t,

She sat three rows back from the bar
enclosure on the west side of the court
room, from which position she could
not only watch the progress of the
work of selecting a Jury, but have her
son constantly before her eyes. She
gazed oftener and longer at that son
than she did at tho Jurors, tho lawyers
or the court, and if one was to Judge
from the expression of her face, her
boy was more of a mystery to her than
the questions the lawyers and the
Judge were propounding to the Jurors.
She knew In a hazy kind of a way that
these questions had something to do
with tho safety of her son, but Just
what It all meant she could not quite
comprehend. During her quiet life she
had been a stranger to courts of Jus
tice and she knew nothing of their
procedure.
Ueslde her sat her daughter, MIsb
Mary Ann Xolnn, and the adjoining
seats wore occupied by her other
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Alexander McDonald. In tho row in
front sat another son, Patrick Nolan,
and with him was the six-year-old son
of the McDonalds. During tho at .

where Ills uncle sat, and shook hands
with him. They chatted together for
several minutes,
THE CASD CAT.L.KD.
The case -was called at 10.30 in tho
morning, and Assistant District Attor
ney W. Gaylord Thomas, who has
charge ot the prosecution of the case,
said that the accused had no one to
defend him, and he understood ho de
sired to plead guilty. Nolan, however,
said that was not his Intention, anil
Judge Edwards assigned Attorney T.
P. Duffy to defend him. Mr. Duffy told
the court he would prefer not to as
sume alone the responsibility of con
ducting the defense In such an import
ant case without preparation, and tho
court suggested that he select some
one to assist him, whereupon he called
Attorney I... P. AVedeman to the de
fendant's table with him, and tho work
of selecting a Jury wns taken up.
It was slow, tedious work. There
was an uncommonly large number of
Jutors with conscientious scruples
against capital punishment, and at 1
o'clock the panel wns exhausted and
only ten Jurors had been secured. They
wore:
Thomas Poland, mill hand, Seranton.
Chailra Dies, conductor, Seranton.
Thomis A. Donahue, reporter, bcranton.
William Kngle, cigar-maker, Seranton.
Charles fiairen, liborer, Seranton.

II. S. Keller, insurance agent, Seranton.
Coutt directed Acting Sheriff Ryan to

these an effort will be made this morn
ing to select tho remaining two jurors.
The commonwealth has still one chal

The defendant has been In jail since
the time the crime was committed. He
yawned a good deal yesterday after
noon while thif jury was being selected,
as if the proceedings bored him, but
never once did ho allow his eye to
wander to that part of the court room
where his mother-and the other mem
bers of his family were .seated.
KISSED HIS MOTHER.
After court adjourned, tho mother
and other members of Nolan's family
waited until the crowd had departed
and then asked permission of a court
officer to see tho prisoner. lie was
allowed to Join them Just outside of
the prisoners' pen, where he kissed his
mother, sisters nnd nephew very af
fectionately. He shook hands with his
brother, but his btother-ln-law re
mained some distance apart from the
group.
Tho party chatted for several min
utes, and then came the time for re
moving the prisoner from the court
room and Nolan turned back toward
tho pen.
His mother started for tho door with
tears softly streaming from her eyes,
but when she reached the court room
cioor sno turned to juok at her son
again, A deputy sheriff was busy hand
cuffing him to a big, bmly prisoner
who was to be his companion to tho
Jail.
Mrs, Nolan allowed her eyes to rest
on her son for nn Instant and then she
hurried out Into the corridor with a
sob she tried hard to restrain. Tha
work tho deputy sheriff was engaged in
seemed to bring keenly to her mind the
grave danger In which her son is stand

anything concerning the case, told of
having sat opposite to the defendant's
brother during dinner at tho St. Cloud
and that the brother niado comments
on the case. They would not say that
the remarks were addressed to them
and admitted that they did not deal
with the merits of the case.
Judge Edwards, after satisfying him
self that the remarks did not deal with
the merits of the case, nllowed the
matter to drop.
BALLOT REFORM MOVEMENT.
Received Endorsement of Baptist
Ministers Yesterday.
At yesterday's meeting of the Ab

NUMBER OF PLEAS
OF GUILTY ENTERED
DEFENDANTS WHO ACKNOWL
EDGED BREAKING LAW.
Goorgo W. Wilson Was One of Thom.
Thoro Aro Six Charges of Forgory
Against Him and Ho Is Bald to
Havo a Long Criminal Record.
Harry Castnor and Goorgo Smith
Admit Having Stolon Scrap Iron
from the Pancoast Coal Com
pany Othor Itlattors.
Previous to tho catling ot tho murder
trial, yesterday morning, pleas Of
guilty were taken In a number of cases,
Among the defendants who came up to
admit their guilt was George XV. Wil
son, alias N. Martin, alias George
Myers, the forger, captured by Chief
Hobllng and Detective Molr last April.
.Ifo was charged with passing bogus
checks on tho Casey & Kelly Urewing
company, the Hunt & Connell com
pany, Clarke Bios., and Mortimer 11.
Puller & Co. There ate, In all, six
cases against him. He plead guilty of
the first two, and was remanded till
Saturday for sentence.
Wilson Is a mlddle-nged man of good
address nnd, according to the police,
nn old-time professional crook. When
nrrested ho wore a hat containing a
Baltimore label. The police of that
city were communicated with, and in
side of a week a letter was received,
sotting forth that Wilson was sen
tenced in 1S9." to six years In the Mary
land penitentiary for forgery, and had
been released only a few weeks prior
to his arrest here.
The record of his arrest and convic
tion was sent along with tho letter,
and when Wilson plead guilty yester
day. It was handed up to Judge Ed
wards. Wilson was taken completely
by surprise and mado a half-hearted
denial of his former conviction.
TIlEl" STOLE IP.ON.
Harry Costncr, ot the West Side, and
George Smith, of the South Side, plead
guilty to the charge of stealing scrap
Iron from tho Pancoast Coal company
nt Throop. In company with a third
man they drove to Throop one night a
few weeks ago and proceeded to load
their wagon from the scrap heap near
the mine. The fact that tho scrap heap
had been gradually diminishing caused
the company to set a watch on It, nnd
when the trio weio nt their work, Will
lam J. Appleinan nnd other employes
came down upon thom. Tho third man,
whom the defendants say was William
I.awson, succeeded In making his es
cape. Despite the fact that they earn
estly endeavored to nssuro Judge Ed
wards that they were simply hired by
Ijawson to cart tho lion and under
stood that he owned It, they were
given nine months apiece in the county
Jail.
IVniIs Kppsteln plead guilty of steal
ing $2 from the Conway house, and was
sent to the House of Refuge. Ho and
his brother, Harry Kppsteln, both news
boys, hiicl been making a tour of tho
hotel daily, presumably toisell papers.
A number of articles were being missed
from the different rooms and suspicion
fell on tho Kppsteln boys. Two marked
dollars was placed on the dresser In
the room of Proprietor Itosar's daugh
ter and, as was expected, tho money
was found on Louis when he was com
ing down stnlrs after having made his
usual tour of the hotel. The brother
will attempt to clear himself.
Both of the boys and their father aro
under suspended sentence for thieving.
Tho last named was caught picking
pockets.
Richard Murphy plead guilty of at
tempting to get away from Cleveland's
market after business hours with a
crate in which he had packed a lot of
clams and eggs. Ho was sent up for
nine months.
WAS A SOLDIER.
Lackey Barrett, a disabled Spanish
war soldier, charged with stealing
thirty-two pairs of shoes from Cher
iskl's store on South Washington ave
nue, plead guilty and was sent up for
ten months. The crime was committed
April 27, of this year, just after his re
turn from Cuba. lie was down -with
the fever and after recovering was bit
ten on the arm by a tarantula. Tho
bite permanently paralyzed his arm.
He told the Judge that he fell in with
bad company, got; drunk and gave way
to a temptation to steal. All he asked
was not to bo sent to the penitentiary.
Louis JCelinsky ndmlttod having ap
propriated $3 belonging to Peter Ituba,
which was entrusted to him to buy
some beer, nnd was given nine months,
A verdict of not guilty was taken In
