THE THIRTY-NINTH RECITAL.
Jellghtful Programme Rendered by
Conservatory Students!
There is no question that the Coh
ne'rvntory of Music has learned the
vcret of drawing larrrc audiences, tjic
tnc nt the recital last evening being
ono oC the largest ot the season. Al
though purely educational exercises to
Mic; students who participate In these
erltals, they nie, on account of the
ulnstalilng care with which every
iiunibcr has been worked up, and the
icnlly musical manner In which they
nro plnyod, productive of great enjoy
ment to thtse who attend.
In this, iIipi thirty-ninth of the series
several students played for the first
time. Pianoforte solos were rendered
'y Karl Aminerman.Eva Meixsell, Ber
.ha Eurgett, TSomalne Spruks, Ellllau
Itenson, Jluth Hull, of Olyphant; Maty
I'ohin, of Clark's Summit: Hazel
Hodges, Margaret J-.au, Caroline Neu
linuer, Clara Haas, Anna Vorls and
Harry Will-Ins.
The last mentioned, Mr. "Wlllcins, Is
e'eserving of special mention. He Is a
young man who, whenever he plays In
these recitals, invariably plays well.
His selections last evening were three
in number. The first was an exceed
ingly graceful valse in A flat major,
his own composition, which received
hearty applause. The other numbers
were the "Valse in C sharp minor, by
Chopin, and the difficult Staccato
Ktude In C major, by Hublnstein.
These numbers were played exceeding
ly well, and, the audience demanding
more, Mr. Wllklns repented his "Valse.
The ensemble numbers, played by
three classes of eight .players each,
were the overture to Zampa, by Her
oic!; Polka Mazurka In G major, by
Klein, and the overture to Komeo and
Juliet, by Bellini.
Near the close of the recital the di
rector, Mr. Pennington, gave a short
talk on the educational value of piano
forte study, In which lie remarked
that the leading educators of the day
-core more and more inclined to con
sider music study, under the proper
t'oudltions, second to no other, as a
'ttlng preparation for life, its present
iid the great hereafter.

"Why not go to Forest Clly or Unlon

vania enjoys practically tho same
facilities and advantages that It would
by mi absorption. Tho truckage con
tract between the two companies gives
the Pennsylvania tho right to use the
Delaware and Hudson tracks; It can
run Its trains to Scranton If It cares
to. The samo contract Is In force be

the Lehigh Valley. This contract has
existed for about eight years. I can't
see, therefore, what would Induce tho
Pennsylvania to come up this way;
there Is nothing In this field, and, as
I said before, It now enjoys the same
advantages and facilities as might
come from a change."

Rxtenslve changes In the arrange
ment of the ofllce. on the third floor of

SUDDEN END OF
FRANCHISE FIGHT
North End, West End and South Side Com
panies Withdrew Their Ordinances at
Select Council Meeting.
Tho ordinances nsklne franchises
for tho North End, West End and
South Sldo Stroot Railway com
panies woro withdrawn at last
night's mooting of scloct council
but not boforo thoy had boon amend
ed to provide for a tax on tho gross
receipts and limiting tho franchise
to forty years.
After tho mooting; opened I II.
demons, a member of the railway
company, presented a report contain
ing amendments to all the ordinances.
Those amendments woro as follows:
Striking out that part which would
bind the company to pay a tax of 1
per rent, ot Its gross receipts In 1907
nnd 190S; two per cent, for the follow
ing three years and three per cent,
thereafter, and substituting u provi
sion to tho effect that for the year end
ing Dec. 31, 1904, the company should
pay 1 per cent, of Its gross receipts;
l'i the second year; 2 the third; 2Vi
the fourth; 3 the fifth nnd sixth; 3,
the seventh, eighth and ninth; i the
tenth, eleventh, twelfth nnd thirteenth,
nnd each year thereafter 5 per cent.
Directing that the duration of the
franchise shall be forty years.
The amendments contained provi
sions for ascertaining tho amount of
the gross receipts by having the treas
urer of tho companies make a sworn
return to the amount of business done
within the city limits. At tho end of
forty years tho city wns to be at lib
erty to sell, lease or operate the fran
chise. If they decided to do tho latter
appraisers were to be appointed to de
cide upon the value of the plant.
Another amendment provided that no
turnout or double track should be Inld
on a street that was not at least thirty-three
feet from curb to curb.
A number of minor amendments were
offered to tho North End ordinance.
There was considerable discussion
about the amendments offered by the
committee, several members holding
that It was not the regular report.
Chairman Chittenden ruled that it
was the regular report and air. Wag
ner moved that it be received and
filed, as ho understood it there was a
communication in the hands ot the
clerk withdrawing the ordinances ask
ing for franchises.
Jlr. demons objected tosuch action
and Mr. O'Royle moved to indefinitely
postpone, but did not have a second.
The motion to adopt tho report of the
committee made by Mr. demons was
then passed by the following vote:

CHURCH WAS NOT BUILT.
Mrs. Stanton Asks That Land Be
Conveyed Back to Her.
A suit in equity was brought yester
day against Rev. John W. Mlnner, John
F, Sayer, James It, Hutch, John Cobb
and Bernard Iloblnson, trustees of the
church society of the Pennsylvania an
nual conference of tho Methodist Pro
testant church, of Moscow', Lackawan
na county, Pennsylvania, by Mrs. Myra
A. Stanton, of that place. The bill al
leges that the complainant deeded to
the trustees on the 19th day of July,
1&98, a certain piece, parcel and lot or
land, situate In the village of Moscow,
for the purpose ot having erected there
on a memorial to her deceased parents,
who woro members of the Methodist
faith at the time of their death.
The trustees and congregation agreed
to build a church, to be constructed of
wood, thirty-two feet in width and
llfty-flvo feet in depth, with a base
ment under the church to be eight feet
high from lloor to celling, to be used
for pastor's study and library, und for
holding Sunday school. There was to
be an auditorium covcrlns the whole
church, and a vestibule.
Tho plan of the church was made by
the pastor, which was approved by the
trustees, congregation nnd Mrs, Stan
ton; whereupon, she deedo.d tho prop
erty to the trustees without further
consideration than her love for the de
nomination und for her deceased par
ents. The bill states that tho time when
the church was to bo erected by the
trustees was three and one-half years
from the tlmo of the adoutlon of the
plans, and tho execution and delivery
of tho deed.
It recites that tho trustees and tho
congregation liavo failed to construct a
church within tho tlmo limit, and, in
fact, have built no edifice whatsoever
upon tho property. That they havr
fulled to keep the covenants In the
deed, and although she has requested
them to re-convey the property to her,
they have refused to do so; hence, she
is compelled to resort to equity pro
ceeding, that the title to the property
may ho declared forfeited In tho trus
tees, and that the samo may bo de
clared reverted to tho complainant, her
heirs and assigns. She is represented
by ex-District Attorney John It. Jones.

Interests which arc relied upon to place the fie

considering the ordinances above referred to a?
they were finally pasj-ed by the common council
solely with refeience to the question of the prac
ticability of marketing- such securities under the
tcinn of the ordinances. The conclusions which
they have reached is that the conditions restric
tions and burdens contained In and imposed by
the said ordinances arc so numerous that it
would be Impracticable to finance the enterprises.
Inasmuch as under the provMom of the paid
ordinances, it Is icquircd that the companies
shall file in the city clerk's office a written agree

tions and rolilcllons in the ordinances and for
other purposes, and the companies hae already
decided that they cannot enter into tuch ngiee

is found desirable to do so.
Attorney M. E. McDonald after the

withdrawn for the reasons set forth In

tions that had been placed on them
previous to last night the promoters
found It impossible to finance the pro

thought It was.
Superintendent Day, Sergeant Itceso

barreled shotguns, nnd a start was
made front headquarters at G o'clock
yesterday morning, Just ns the day was
breaking.
The olllcera sepnrated, some stalking
Jefferson und Madison avenues, nnd
others Monroe nnd Qulncy. Tho nolso
of tho first shot aroused the neighbor
hood, nnd small boys got up earlier
than usual and came out In force. TIo
police stopped at 8 o'clock, when tho
streets began to fill up nnd when thq
crowd of onlookers began to get so
large us to bo annoying.
Kloven dogs In nil were killed, and ot

Kugler was accused of calling "scab"
at employees of thq railway company
on three separate occasions nnd ad
mitted having done so, his attorney

does not constitute disorderly conduct
it is understood that appeals will be
taken from the magistrate's ruling.
ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
James McGinnis Wants to Be Com

SHU another candidate for clerk of

The latest aspirant for the place is
James McGinnis, a well known young
Republican, familiarly known ns "Sen
ator" McGinnis. He entered the field
a few days ago, and Is making an ener
getic canvass.
The chances are that some one other
than Assistant City Clerk Morris will
be elected ns clerk, the majority of the
members not taking enthusiastically to
Mr. Keller's plan of elactlng Mr. Mor
ris and thus practically dispensing with
a .separate clerk for the common
branch.
