RECITAL OF MISS CLARE HORAN
She Received an Ovation from
an
Audience of Critics.
Professor E. 13. Southwngth invited a
number of music lovers to his studio
last night to listen to a piano recital by
Miss Clare Horan. She was a former
pupil of Professor Southworth. but for
the last three" years has been in Vienna
as a pupil of the great Leschetlzky.
Site returned u few weeks ago to re
main for a time at the home or her
parents, Sir. and Mrs. P. J. Horan, of
Bun more.
JI13S Horan received a veritable ova
tion from the discriminating music
lovers present to hear her. She looks
as girlish as when she went abroad
three years ago. but she has grown
marvelously in her art In that time and
lias come back to her home with tho
impress of that wider world into which
she has entered.
Miss Horan studied tlto piano under
Professor K. K. Southworth for some
time previous to her departure for
Rut ope, and had one winter with Dr.
Mason nnd Professor Tracey, In New
Vork. She went to Vienna to study
under I.eschetlzky, and It is not too
much to say that she lias interested, to
an exceptional degree, that greatest of
living masters. Her work last night
seemed that of a genius, one, perhaps,
only In the beginning of the flight, but,
nevertheless, a genius. Miss Horan has
always been an enthusiast In her study
and this wonderful vital activity will
iro far to shauct a notable career for
our young townswoman. The first point
that Impresses one in hearing her play
is tlie brilliance, the dazzling beauty of
her work. Tho technique is such as
Ticsehetlzky bestows on his pupils, and
that Is enough to say.
She played no pretentious showy
numbers last night. These she Is tight
in reserving for some largo concert
nudlence. She gave characteristic se
lections, however, In a perfeclnenn that
will long leave a fair memory with the
listeners. Perhaps tho Schumann group
was the loveliest and fitted her mood
the best; but It was charming to henr
her interpretation of Chopin, ln the
breadth nnd Intelligence she gave to
the movements, and although it seems
thut tho Orleg Sonata in B minor is u
thought too sombre for her bright mes
sage of sound, hlie brought out the de
licious melody and the graver passages
in unsurpassed feeling.
Tho Schubert minuet was, perhaps,
the most quaintly plenuine in the nro-
grnmme, but tlie finale, an Intermezzo
by Leschetlzky, was poetry of motion
and thought and sympathy. In response
lo Insistent encores sho nave a little
Urleg number. "Papulous."
Mr. Southworth was a proud and
liuppy man at tho shower of congratu
lations which greeted his pupil, now so
far ulong on an enviable career, Mlts
Horan will spend tha winter at homo,
nnd as yet has perfected no further
plans. It la probable, however, thut aha
will return to Vienna later. It Is to be
lioped that her friends will have an op.
poruinuy 10 near ner in concert neforo
that time arrives,

AN INSANE MAN WITH
A LOADED REVOLVER
He Paid nn Unwelcomed Visit to
William H. Richmond at His
Homo, Richmond Hill.
William H. Richmond had an ex
perience this week which would be
enough to turn one's hair white in tlie
space of a minute. Mr. Richmond'
hair is already white with tho snows
of more than eighty years, but had It
been as black ns a raven's wing, so
great is his self control that his ner
vous force would not have fulled to
the extent of changing its color.
Tho bell rang nt Richmond Hill, Mr.
Richmond's suburban residence, on
Tuesday afternoon, and a man asked
to see him. The maid conducted the
stranger to the living room nnd went
Into Mr. Richmond's study to see if
he were at leisure, but instead of wait
ing the visitor followed her and she
left him alone with Mr. Richmond.
The latter had not heard his entry and
suddenly looked up to behold a man
standing directly in front of his desk
and holding a revolver within fifteen
Inches of his head. It was a position
which might well have paralyzed a
man of less than eighty years, but Mr.
Richmond regarded the intruder calm
ly for a minute and asked In a quiet
tone: "Well, what can I do for you."
The fellow's eyes faltered and he
dropped the revolver with a clatter.
Mr. Richmond realizing that he had to
deal with a lunatic, reached for it, con
tinuing to talk with the man and as
hgy held it in one hand, placidly wrote-
a letter to I. A. Finch with the other,
asking if the latter could find em
ployment for the person named. After
ten minutes of conversation tho man
departed- giving his name as Thomas
Owen.
Mr. Richmond describes him as a
young fellow of perhaps 21 or 22 years,
under sized and comfortably clad. He
informed Mr. Richmond that he desired
to be arrested and there is no doubt
that he should be. Hnd.it not been for
his presence of mind,. Mr. Richmond
would undoubtedly have been killed,
but his calntncss controlled tho insane
impulse which possessed his assailant.
The revolver wns loaded.
A MISGUIDED WOMAN.
Old and Feeble Mrs. Godvaltz, With
out Money or Friends, Refuses
to Go to Hillside Home.
uven tho staid members of tlie poor
board, used as they are to witnessing
sorrowful scenes, were deeply moved
at yesterday afternoon's meeting of tlie
board at the pitiful spectacle present
ed by Mrs. Lizzie Godvaltz, an a.ged
German woman, once the wife of a
prosperous and oven wealthy German
farmer, long since dead,
She is a gentle-faced old lady and
she had barely strength enough to
walk to the applicant's chair and take
a seat. She told her story In Ger
mnn to Director Dickert. Her husband
had died and her children were mar
ried and refused to support her, she
s.ild. She hud been receiving relief and
wanted it continued.
"We'll pond you to the Hillside Home,
Sirs. Godvaltz," said Director Fuller,
"You'll have no trouble there. Nlci
food, clean rooms and no work to do.
I tell you It's the best
"Ach, Gott, no," broke In the old
woman. "I vlll go not to the poor
house. I vould sooner die. You shust
kIvq me S3, that not much only $3,
unci I vlll bo able to keep life In myself
but the poor house I vlll not go, I vlll
not go I tell you. Vat vud dey pay at
home. No, I cannot."
"But the law says that under such
circumstances; as you relato we can
not support you except In the home.
You'd better bo sensible untl go there,"
said Director Fuller kindly,
"I vlll not go. I vlll stnrve It I must,
but I vlll not dlo In the poor house.
You need not help me, I can starve,
but I vlll bo happy. If I go to the
poor house I vlll bo unhappy, I vlll
not go I. tell you, T vlll not go," and
tho old woman hobbled out Into tho
hall and out Into the cohl stioet.
Mrs. Mary Butler, who went down to
South Carolina with her husband a few
months ago nnd who was deserted by
tho latter, appeared beforo tho board
and asked to have her live children
sent to some institution. Sho had been
taken In by a friend, sho said, but the
children were In the way, The ease
was referred to Director Dickert.

DETECTIVE FAILS TO
UNRAVEL MYSTERY
After Three Days of Effort the
County "Detective Falls to Explain
Death of Olyphant Children.
Three days of painstaking investiga
tion by County Detective W. A. Phil
lips failed to throw any light on tlie
mystery of the death of the four Hun
gat Inn children at Olyphant. Detective
Phillips attacked the case from every
side that :t reasonable theory would
suggest, but the most untiring effort
failed to produce any satisfactory ex
planation. To a Tribune reporter he said last,
evening:
"The only definite conclusion I have
arrived at is that if there is any crim
inality connected with tlie mystery, tho
families are guiltless. None of the chil
dren woie insured. There was nothing
tho parents could gain by their death.
The Vurgo children were insured but
the policies were allowed to elapse
neaily two years ago. In tho Bekech
family, the child that died wns the
only boy. The, .death of the children
brought to their respective parents
nothing except the expense of dollars
and burials. There is absolutely no
motive for a crime. My opinion is that
the children are the victims of a pois
oning accident.
"One doctor says their death is due
lo come one of ihe many varieties of
spotted fevers which are quickly fatal.
This may bo the correct solution. I,
however, am inclined to the accidental
poisoning theory. Tho families live
next door to-one another, and thu chil
dren were nccustomed to play togeth
er. They possibly picked up something
poisonous nnd ate it."
John Vat-go, tho father of the family
that lost three children is, himself,
sick abed with a complaint possessing
all the symptoms of that which caused
the sudden death of his three little
ones. Two of tlie infant daughteis of
the Bekech family whose little son
died the day following the double
death in the Vurgo family, are also ill
und display tho same symptoms as
those in tlie cases of the dead children.
Chemist Barber, of Barber & Town
send, who examined the stomach ot
one of the victims, reported that there
were slight traces found of arsenic
poisoning. Dr. F. L. Van Sickle, who
wns called In consultation by Dr.
Crans, who first attended the Vnrgo
children, diagnosed the cases ns arsenic
poisoning- and upon learning of the re
port of the chemist, declared he would
refuse to accept any other theory of
the cause of death,
Dr. Kelly, who saw the Vnrgo cases,
and who attended the Kekech child, is
equally confirmed In tho belief that tho
children were victims of porno one of
the many "spotted" fevers that uic
consequent of extremely unsanitary
surroundings, such as the deud children
were exposed to.
A SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.
Delighted Audiences at the R. R. Y.

A thoroughly delighted audience left
tho Railroad Young Men's Christian
us-hociation rooms last night, nftor hav
ing enjoytd two hours of splendid en

SMALLPOX IS
NOT SPREADING
NO NEW CASES WERE REPORTED
YESTERDAY.
Child in North Scranton Supposed
to Bo Sufforlng from Discnso" Af
flicted with a Skin Disorder An
Emergency Hospital Is Being
Erected at a Cost of ?700 but Au
thorities Refuso to Give Out tho
Location of the Site Strict Quar
antine In West Scranton.
There were no new smallpox cases re
ported to tho health authorltleu yester
day, the child In North Scranton, who
was believed lo be suffering from tho
discnso, having been found, upon close
investigation, to bo uflllcted With a
peculiar skin disorder.
Tho fact thut no new cases cropped
up, however, has not at all deterred the
authorities from making ready for tho
cine ot the disease In case It should bo
come wldcsnread. Proof ot this was
demonstrated yesterday, when it was
learned that the work of erecting tho
smallpox hospital hod already been be
gun. It was admitted that the hospital
was being built, but ull information ns
to Its location was withheld by tho
director of public safety and all other
oftlcials having any knowledge of It.
The plans for tlie hospital were pre
pared by Building Inspector Brown
and provides Tor a one-story frame
structure of sufllcient size to contain
two largo wards and to accommodate
upwards of fifty patients. It will be
heated with stoves and will be made as
comfortable as a temporary structure
can be made.
The contract for Its construction has
been awarded to John Bcnorc ut tho
figure of $700, nnd tlie work of hauling
the lumber and making reudy was be
gun yesterday. It Is believed thnt tho
building will bo finished and ready rot
use by next Wednesday, at the latest.
AN ISOLATED SITE.
The slto selected Is an Isolated one,
entirely removed from any dwelling,
but its location will not be made public
just at present, because the authorities
fear that an attempt might be made to
burn It down, because or the misguided
views many people hold about pest
houses. It must be understood that It Is not
the intention of the health authoiities
to remove all persons suffering from
tho disease to the smallpox hospital.
This Is not at all tho idea. It is pro
posed to remove to the hospital only
those persons who may be taken ill
with the disease in such surroundings
as would endanger the health of many
other persons.
Person's taken ill with the disease in
hotels or boarding houses and having
no friends or relatives willing to take
them in, would be removed to the hos
pital, as well as persons who might bo
taken 111 in a densely populated tene-
ment house. If tlie disease crops out in
a private homo It is proposed to allow
.the patient to remain in his own house,
providing that it can be properly and
effectively quarantined.
Tho fact that no new cases were re
ported ycbterday is not taken as any
sign that danger is past. Tho period
which elapses between tho time of in
fection and the time on which the first
symptoms of tho disease show them
selves averages about twelve or four
teen days, so that if any or the visitors
to the Brace household, in West Scran
ton, contracted the disease they would
not manifest any symptoms until some
time next week, at the earliest.
A number of these persons have been
Tollowed up und have been obliged .to
submit to a thorough fumigation of
their clothes. Their houses, also, have
been thoroughly fumigated In a num
ber of instances.
ABOUT CLOSING SCHOOLS.
Dr. John O'Malley, the chairman of
tho school board committee, to which
was referred the question of vaccina
tion at the last meeting of the board,
said yesterday that while his commit
tee hud power to close any school If It
was deemed necessary, ho did not feel
that tho situation called for any such
action just at present.
"It would bo wise to close the schools
If the disease becomes widespread and
epidemic," said ho, "but the cases at
present are being kept Isolated, and
there seems lo be no Immediate dan
ger." Dr. W. A. Paine, who is assisting
Superintendent Allen, of the bureau of
health, takes rather a hopeful view of
the situation.
x "We are bound to have more cases,"
said he, yesterday, "but I havo strong
hopes that we can keep them Isolated
and that there will be no widespread
epidemic."
Tho alleged case of tho disease In
North Scranton was reported by Dr. A.
Z. Bower. Mrs. Thomas Harris, of 218
Parker street, brought her small child
to thu doctor's office for vaccination
yesterday morning, and when tho doc
tor examined it ho thought he detected
a smallpox eruption on Its body. Ho
sent the mother homo with tho child,
and notified tho bureau of health that
he had a case of smallpox on his hands.
Dr. W, A. Pnlno wont to the house
yesterday afternoon, and upon exam
ination found thut tho child was suf
fering not from smallpox, but from a
peculiar skin disease, which ho stated
last night wns very hard to classify.
Ho was positive, howover, thut tho child
did not havo smallpox.
