RECITAL OF WATKINS' PUPILS.
Given Before a Great Audience at
Powell's Lnst Night
The final recital of the pupils of J.
T. Watklns' vocal studio Inst night at
Powell's was a brilliant success, given
before an Immense audience thnt from
the beginning was filled with enthusi
asm by the almost perfect rendition of
the "II Trovatore" selection, which wai
repented by request, The largo stagi1,
built by John Uenore & Son especially
for lnst week's recital, was completely
filled with Mr. Watklns' pupils. Tho
first solos on the programme, sung by
Mr. Wntklns, clearly demonstrated his
ability ns an Interpreter of the classics.
lie gave In his inimitable- style, "The
Ould Plnld Shawl" nnd charmingly
sang "All Thro' tho Night." Mr. Wnt
klns substituted at the lnst moment
for his pupil, Miss Scnnlon.
"The Shoe Upon the Shore" wa
given by Mr. Wlncke with expression
nnd good voice, showing decided ad
vance. MIhs Knthryn DeSnles Gibbons
In fine voice of contrnlto quality gave
with much feeling and dramatic In
tensity Tostl's "Could I," nnd "Ah!
'TIs a Dream," by llnwley. Tho sex
tette from "Lucia DI Lammermoor"
was very well rendered by MIps Mat
thews, Miss Ilurke, Messrs. Stephens,
Johns, Will Wntklns nnd J. T. Wnt
klns, whoyj voices blended to perfec
tion, bringing out In bold contrast to
the staccato parts of tho chorus the
beautiful llowlng legnto of the theme,
"Ah dav of wrath, etc." This was nn
exquisite number and received vocifer
ous applause. The number had to be
repeated.
"For All Kternlty" was sung by Mlsi
Teresa M. Hnnaway In good style nnd
murh delicacy of light and shade. Her
voice Is a pure lyric soprano, which has
made rapid strides In power nnd full
ness of tone. To this Is ndded n pleas
ing personality nnd good stage pres
ence. A rare contralto voice Is that of
Miss Alice Ilurke, who gave to A. Gor
ing Thomas' "A Summer Night" u
depth of feeling and breadth of stylo
not often heard.
Handel's noble recitation nnd nrln,
"Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves"
(first time In Scranton), received a
meritorious rendering by Floyd Heb
erllng, the possessor of a good round
bass voice of extended range. The ex
quisite voice of Miss Martha Matthews
was henrd to fine advantage In her
superb singing of that sublime "Eliza
beth's Prayer," by Richard Wagner.
Joshua John sang "Llewellyn's Grave"
with much feeling nnd beauty of voice,
a voice of pure tenor quality, devoid of
the usual throaty tones so common
among tenors.
Then came the grand finale, 'Hall,
Ilrlght Abode," from tho grand opera
"Tannhauser," and rarely has It been
so magnificently sung as by thl
chorus: It was simply electrifying In
Its effect. The audience was grateful
to Mr. Wntklns for nn evening of music
such as was given last evening. Mr.
Watklns expects to study under one of
the foremost teachers In tho states,
during July and August.
The selections were materially en
hanced by the accompaniments of Miss
Florence II. Richmond, Miss Rose Con
way nnd Mr. I.lew Jones. R. J. Rauer
played In his own broad style the vio
lin obllgato to Miss Hanaway's solo.
The pupils and their friends, after the
reeltal, enjoyed a dance given by Mr.
Watklns at J. W. Guernsey's hall.

SEVERE RAIN STORM.
Heavy Downpour of Rain with
Thunder and Lightning.
A severe rain storm visited the cltv
late yesterday afternoon. It lasted
about twenty minutes. Tho rain came
down In torerntsj thero were thunder
claps and lightning also contributed to
the general effect.
Little damage was done by the
storm. No trouble was caused on nnv
of the railroad lines, but the current
was shut oft and progress stopped on

minutes, during the heaviest down
pour, after which everything went on

EVERHART DENIES
SHOOTING ST0R
DECLINED, HOWEVER, TO MAKE
EXTENDED STATEMENT.
Proposes to Refrain from Any
Further Denials or Declarations
Until Ho Tells His Whole Story
Connectedly and Completely in One
General Statement Lewis Chooses
to Live Under Any Suspicion That
May Rest Upon Him. Until tho
Proper Time Comes to Explain.
A Tribune reporter cnlled on Edwin
M. Evorhart nt the county Jail, yester
day, to glvo him an opportunity of
mnklng a statement regarding the
charge ot attempted murder, preferred
against him by Mrs. Rlnsland, but ha
declined to have anything to say,
further thnn that It was untrue and
that ho will Include nts side of th's
story In tho general statement cover
ing the whole affnlr, which ho pro
poses to make ns soon ns his physical
condition will permit.
He Incidentally complained bitterly
at tho treatment he has received nt
the hands ot some newspapers, which,
he says, not only distorted his state
ments but printed long Interviews with
him, without as much ns ever having
seen him.
An effort was made to get Frank
Lewis to answer tho nllesatlons that
havo been made against him and to
clear away some of tho apparent in
consistencies connected with his story,
but he had been advised by his coun
sel to say nothing and proposed to
heed the advice.
"I did Intend to make a statement,
out of justice to myself," Lewis said
to a Tribune reporter, "but our attor
neys would not have It. In due tlmu
everything will be cleared up, nnd my
position In tho matter will be seen to
be just what I have claimed In my
testimony."
The reporter suggested that It would
put him In a better light before tho
community If he would explain how It
came about that he chose tho unseemly
hour of 1.S0 o'clock a. m. to make his
first visit to Dr. Everhnrt's house, but
Lewis did not care to act on the sug
gestion, contenting himself with say
ing that he had a satisfactory explana
tion of that, as well ns every other
thing that at present might not look
just right, and when the proper time
came he would set It forth.
When asked particularly about the
allegation that he broached tho killing
to Kvorhart, Lewis smiled contemptu
ously and remarked, "I guess nobody
believes that."
Tho only thing ho would volunteer
any Information on, was the alleged
connection that Rlnsland had In the
plot.
"I haven't seen Phil Rlnsland for
three months until today. Just a little
while ngo I passed him on the street,
and ho said, jokingly, he guessed he
better not be seen talking to me."
At this, Lewis drew away, thinking
evidently he had tnlked enough.
Attorney Joseph O'Rrlen, of counsel
for tho prosecution, said yesterday that
he had been assured the conspiracy
case would go to trial.
DAVIS SKIPPED BOARD BILL.
He Is the Famous Ball Player, Who
Dwelt at tho Faurot House.
II. C. Davis, who was arrested
Wednesdny nlghl in Allentown by City
Detective John Molr on the charge of
skipping a board bill of $12, preferred
by Mrs. Elizabeth Risley, proprietor of
the Faurot House, on Washington
avenue, was yesterday bold In $300
ball by Alderman Howe. He was un
able to furnish It, and nil yesterday
remained In the central police station.
Davis lived here for several months
and during that time was engaged in
furthering an advertising project. He
also posed ns a sporting man, and
gave out the Impression that he was
an athlete of no mean ability. "I used
to pitch In the Now England league,"
wns one of bis proud assertions, and
banking on this he made tho acquaint
ance of Manager Hurnhnm, of the
Scranton team, and was a regular pa
tron of the games.
Ho talked volubly about his base
ball experience and gave tho local
manager a good-sized opinion of his
prowess, although he was never seen
doing any base ball practice. As a
resulr. of this, came a ver;y funny hap
pening at Athletic park. The profes
sional Reading team disbanded, as will
be remembered by all followers of the
Ill-starred Atlantic league's history,
and a debonair youth with long hair
named McLauglln came to Scranton
with seven Ice wagon drivers, breaker
boys, etc., to glvo the team of local
cracks an argument on the diamond.
When the time for the game arrived,
Mr. McLaughlin found himself to bo
short a plnyer. Ho rnn to tho park
gate, looked up nnd down the rond for
a possible candidate, frantically ac
costc 1 a member of the Kelly's Patch
Indians nnd wns turned down, and
then asked Hurnhnm to loan him a
man. Ulysses Burnhnm looked Into
the grand stand and bis eyo fell on
Davis. "There's your man," he re
marked quietly, and fifteen minutes
later II. C. Davis was arrayed In a
gorgeous Reading uniform and ambled
out Into center field.
The exhibition he gave is stll! fresh
In the minds of nil who saw tho game.

and then It wns necessary for him to

for tho lnttcr to return it to the dia
mond. At thj bat ho fanned out In his
every appearance at tho plate, and
after tho game Hurnhnm was kept
busy dodging the epithets hurled at
him by the Rending captnln.
Mr. Davis Is now In tho police sta

FELL DOWN A SHAFT.
Faint from Hunger, an Unknown
Polander Falls 250 Feet from
n Mine Carriage.
A Polander, recently come to this
country and whose name could not lie
learned, was killed by falling two hun
dred nnd fifty feet from the carriage
In tho Dickson shaft, on Market street,
yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock.
It was his lirst day to work In the
mine and, not having provided himself
with a dinner can, did not bring anj
food with him. It Is supposed that be
became faint while ascending on the
carriage and staggered over the edge
of the platform. There were nine other
men on tho carriage, but his disap
pearance over the side of the platform
was so sudden that none of them had
even a chance of catching him.
He was picked up dead, with his
neck broken, arms and legs fractured
and head terribly crushed.
The mine ambulance conveyed his re
mains to where It was supposed he had
been boarding, but the people at the
house denied that they ever knew him,
and refused to take In the remains.
The miners who accompanied the am
bulance took It for granted that It wan
another case of "dead man no good,"
and determined that the remains
should be delivered there. After sev
eral unsuccessful attempts at getting
Into the house, the miners broke into
tho basement, deposited the remains
on the floor, covered them over with
some boards, and went their way.
The authorities afterwards sent
XTndertaker Jones to prepare the body
for burial.
PIANOFORTE RECITAL.
Given by Pupils of Albin Korn, As
sisted by Miss Florence Levi.
A dellgh.ful programme was enjoyed
by an apprelatlve audience last night
In Guernsey hall, through tho efforts
of tho students of Albln Korn.
The first number wos Heethovcn's
"Sonate Pathetlque, (.First Move
ment)," by Albln Korn himself. It
wns rendered with fine feeling and a
thorough understanding of the grent
master. Miss Flora Levi followed with
Foote's "Irish Folk-Song," which
more than deserved the hearty ap
plause she received.
Tho next number was Rohn's Noc
turne, "To My Star," which Miss Ka
thryn Fink rendered with a force and
vigor that awakened the poetic feel
ing of her hearers. She was followed
by Miss Julia Johnson, who showed
by her rendition of Llchner's "Tyro
llenne," that she had spent many
faithful hours In the reparation of her
part.
The fifth number on tho programme
was a very creditable performance,
when one considers the student's nge
and the piece she chose. She certain
ly glvss great promise of a successful
musical future. She was followed by
Miss Ada Conner, who gave Gelbel's
"Rustic Waltz." She well merited the
continued npplause she received. The
next number ows Raumfelder's "Eln
Tanzchen eln Grunen," played by
Freddie Ferbor. Master Ferber throws
himself body and soul Into his work
nnd shows marked musical ability.
Master Kelstls Szlupas played In an
excellent manner and was followed by
Miss Eliza Sly, who gave Reach's
"Pantalon" with n musical spirit that
sent one off to the realms of Shakes
peare's "Midsummer's Night Dream,"
capering with the fairies nnd elves.
Miss Rnfter, who recently spoke nt
the high school class night, Inter
preted Rohn's "Kusshandehen" In a
splendid manner, nfter which Miss
Lizzie Weller closed with a very fitting
selection, entitled, "Recollections of
Home," which made a beautiful finale
to the evening's er'.ertalnment.

WARREN CALLS IT
LEGAL EFFRONTERY
CITY, HE SAYS, HAS NO RIGHT
TO INTERVENE.
Attorney for the Boulevard Com
pany Characterizes the Move to
Revoke Its License, ns a Com
plete Absurdity and Objects Even
to the Granting1 of a Rule to Show
Cause Why tho License Should Not
Be Revoked City Solicitor Vos
burg Holds Opposite Views.
The petition fo a ruls to revoke tho
licence of tho Nay Aug Falls and Elm
hurst Iloulevard company, made by
City Solicitor Vosburar, was formally
presented to Judge John P. Kelly In
chambers yesterday, to the accompani
ment of Informal arguments by Mr.
Vosburg nnd Major Everett Warren,
the latter representing the boulevard
company.
Major Warren characterized the ac
tion of the city ns a piece of legal
effrontery. The question of license, he
claimed, stands or falls altogether out
side of the toll gate question. The
boulevard company, he went on to say,
applied for a license and the court
granted one. Tho order granting tho
license was framed In exact conformity
with the statute and If the statute
does not give the company a right to
erect a toll gate within tho city, tho
order of court could not grant such
a privilege.
There was nothing In the present pro
ceedings setting forth that a toll gate
had been within the city, he averred,
nnd ns the city hag no more right to
concern Itself about the boulevard
company being granted a license than
It would have "to get a rule on mo
to show cause why I nm living," as
Major Warren put it, there Is nothing
before the court.
City Solicitor Vosburg contended
that the toll gate In Nay Aug park
was erected under the license granted
by tl.e court. The statute prescribes
that at ihe completion of a turnpike
five miles or more In length, the own
ers may apply to court and secure
a license authorizing "necessary and
suftlclent toll gates," any place along
the route. The boulevard, as stated
In Its charter, extends from Arthur
avenue In Scranton to Elmhurst. Un
der the license, as above set forth, the
boulevard company, exercising the
discretion given In the statute under
which the license was framed, erected
a toll gate within the city limits. There
Is a law ngalnst erecting a toll gate
within tho limits of a city, Mr. Vos
burg claimed, and consequently the
license was Inadvertently granted.
Judge Kelly took the petition, say
ing he would consult Judge Edwards,
who modo the order granting the li
cense. Major Warren asked that ho
might be given a chance to bo heard
before a rule was granted.
The thing was such a complete ab
surdity, bo said, that he did not think
that even a rule should be granted.
REED-SMITH NUPTIALS.
