lecturo Recital Given In Guernsey
Hall by Edward D. Perry.
Truly a wonderful mall Is Edward
Uuxter Perry, ho blind pianist, who
gave tt concert last night In Guernsey
hall, under the auspices or the Scran
ton Conservatory ot Music.
The majority of the blind pianists
who have won fame are not real pian
ists In the truest sense of that word;
they are merely men possessed of won
derful memories, who merely phty by
ear nnd whose performances are re
murkablo solely and entirely because
or tlio enormous number of tunes they
are able to "grind out." Such a per
former was Ullnd Tom.
Air. Perry does Hot rank with these
men. Ho Is i,true musician, with the
true musician's conception of the moods
of the Brent composers, and possessing
also the power of externalizing these
moods with remarkable lechnlcul skill
alld 1'III-n fnfillllir tl.. I, no lm,i I. It... I
titnuc ho was a boy, and began the
siuuy ot piano pluylng after the light
had been shut out from his eyes for all
time. In learning n piece of music he
Is obliged to have the notes read to
him, one by one, while ho picks them
out on the piano. Ho gradually mem
orizes the selection, nnd then begins a
study of It from every standpoint until
ne uas mastered it and Is able to re
produce It In concert. As may bo Im
agined, this Is a most laborious under
taking. Mr. Perry accompanies his recitals
with a running talk, Introducing each
selection with some account of the
composer or opera from which It Is
taken, or with a. delightful expression
of his own conception of the Ideals
which the composer had In mind. The
programme rendered was as follows:
Introduction and rondo fiom Sonata, Op. &),

QUIGLEY SUCCEEDS DALY.
Manager Lawson Gets a Strong Man
for the Scranton Team.
Manager AI. Lawson, of the Scran
ton base ball club, bus released his
first player. Con Dalley is the man,
and he had to go to make room for a
faster and more experienced' man. The
new man who takes Dalley's place is
Frank Qtilgley, of Chicago. III., a sec
ond baseman of rare ability who
wanted to make his home in Benin ton
during the coming season.
Qtilgley has played with Manager
Lawson before and consequently knows
of Mr. Iawson's faculty of having win
ning ball teams, and as he was desir
ous of playing on a pennant winning
aggregation, next season, he decided
to come to Scranton.
Then aguln, Manager I,awson knows
Qulgley and feels confident that in
signing that young man he adds con
siderable strength to the local club.
Qtilgley began playing ball In the
famous City League ot Chicago and
attracted the attention of Charles
Commlskey, who signed- him for his
bt. I'aul club, of the Western League,
in 1S9S. In 1S90 he became one of Al.
Lawson's players at Anderson, Ind of
the Central League, and led that
league in run getting during the sea
son. The next year ho was the star sec
ond baseman of the Decatur, III., club
of the Central League, and last year
Played with tho champion Blooming
ton club of the S. S. S. League. Ills
batting average last season was .874
and fielding average .001. He also had
S9 stolen bases to his credit.
Qulgley has proven himself to be a
fast young man (playing ball) during
the past four years and it is to be
hoped he will keep up the good work
when he arrives In Scranton.
The Scranton club as it is now com
posed Is: MeCurtJiy, pitcher; Simmers
and Steinberg, catchers; Schmalts, first
base: Qulgley, second base; Sullivan,
third base; Gorton, Blakely, Nickels
and Cyphers, outfielders.
A short stop and two more pitchers
are still needed to complete the team.
Tho schedule committee of which
Manager Lawson is chairman, will
meet at Hazleton, March 20, to pre
pare the schedule for the season.

Tho defense In the Thornton Insur
ance eases, In tho United States cir
cuit court opened yesterday morning.
Attorney M, J. Martin, of O'Brien &
Martin, who with John T. Lenalmn,
represents the defense made tho open
ing address, occupying an hour In out
lining what the defendant companies
propose to prove. It was a compre
hensive, clear and well defined address.
Mr. Mnrtln in opening his address,
reviewed the testimony ot the plain
tiff's witnesses that ho might more
clearly indicate what It was Intended
to contradict. He then proceeded to
point out some contradictions by the
plaintiff's witnesses themselves. One
of these which he particularly dwelt
upon was an alleged contradiction by
two mute witnesses, the catalogue of
the plaintiff's library and the Inven
tory of Ills household effects.
According to the plaintiff the cata
logue and Inventory were mude a week
before tho fire. The pocket memoran
dum book and the fifteen or more
sheets of paper containing the Inven
tory were placed in a drawer before
the fire and were not recovered until
a month after the fire. The various
Items were written with a lead pencil.
Mr. Martin passed the pocket memor
andum pocket book among the jurors
nnd called to their attention the fact
that while the red transverse lines of
the memorandum book gave seemingly
unmistakable signs of having been wet
nnd caused to fade and leave their
Imprint on the opposite page, the pen
ciled entries were uudlmmed and un
blurred, Indicating, as Mr. Martin con
tended that while the book evidently
went through the fire and was soused
with water, the penciled figures were
not in it at the time.
PROOF OF LOSS.
The plaintiff's proof of loss was a
lengthy typewritten document. Tho
plulntlff averred that he made It from
memory, some eight or ten days after
the fire. Mr. Martin pointed out that
tlie items of the proof of loss and the
Items in the library catalogue and In
ventory of household effects tallied not
only in the order of their entry, but
also In the matter of abbreviations.
This, he said, would show that the
plaintiff was falsely swearing either as
to the manner of making the proof
of loss of the manner of making the
catalogue and inventory.
It was also stated by Mr. Martin
that the defense would ask tho Jury to
accept the theory that the fire was of
incendiary origin. In support of this
theory, Mr. Martin said- the defense
would show a chain of circumstantial
evidence that could leave no inference
other than that the house was set afire.
April 1, 1001, Thornton, he went on to
say, telegraphed the Hoban agency
that he wanted to place some insur
ance. Mr. Hoban waited on him at his
olllce. Mr. Thornton told him he was
moving to a new homo In Kingston;
that he had about JC.000 worth of books
and household goods and Intended to
get a piano and about $.'00 worth of
rugs, and that he would like to have
the insurance at once.
Mr. Hoban said he could not write
the Insurance until he had seen the
property, and after some talk It was
agreed that the policies should take
effect ot noon tho next day. Mr. Ho
ban returned to his offlce, after con
senting to deliver the policies in the
evening.
DELIVERED POLICIES.
At S o'clock he returned to Thorn
ton's olllce with tho policies, delivered"
them and was about to go when Mr.
Thornton called to him to wait until
ho got tho premium. Mr. Hoban
turned back and Mr. Thornton wrote
him out a check for $60, tho amount of
the premium.
Agent Hoban went to the new Thorn
ton home In Kingston the next day to
look over the Thornton belongings and
satisfy himself they wore worth $0,000.
He arrived during tho afternoon and
found Mrs. Thornton there. Only ono
car load of goods had been delivered,
airs. Thornton explained to him that
this was but a small part of their be
longings and that a second load was
on Its way over.
He waited until the second load had
been delivered, nnd after viewing it
and learning that only one more load
was to come, determined to seek out
Mr. Thornton and reduce tho policies
to not more than $2,000. Ho had some
other business in Kingston and by
the time he had- transacted it, the
hour was late and ho put off seeing
Mr. Thornton until the morning.
That night, ten minutes after Thorn
ton locked up his new home, and re
turned to Wilkes-Bnrro, to sleep, ac
cording to Mr, Martin, tho lire broke
out. That tho lire could not have
been accidental, Mr. Martin pointed
out, would be shown by testimony to
the effect that the only lire In tho
building was a burning gus jet, high
Up on tho hullwny, and a fire In the
furnace.
VALUATION man.
It would also be shown, Mr. Martin
said, that the valuation the plaintiff
placed on his goods were generally ex
aggerated. Insurance Agent Hoban and Adjus
tor tfemmlngwny were put on the
stand to tell the story outlined by Mr.
Mnrtln. Among other things they
averred that not alt ot tho furniture
of Thornton's Wllkcs-Harre home had
been moved to Kingston.
Mr, Hemmlngwny Was on the stand
al adjourning time.

MADAME BLAUVELT TO SING.
Will Be Heard in This City on

Madame Lillian Bluuvelt, the great
American enntatrice, enguged by the
managers of the Home for the Friend
less benefit concert, is thus spoken ot
by the eminent musical critic, James
Hunekcr, of Xew York city:
"Madame Bluuvelt, the famous
American singer of the Lehmaim-Gad-skt
Trio at Carnegie hall, sang with
such purity of voice, power and force
of tone emission and witli such perfect
control of tho vocul pyrotechnics that
loud and prolonged applause followed
her singing of a Gounod and two De
llbes songs."
One refreshing feature of Madame
Blauvelt's urtistic singing is the Tact
that she ulways sings on pitch, a qual
ity unknown to some operatic singers.
Lillian Blauvelt sings at our new ar
mory, Thursday evening, April 3.

A LARGE SALARY.
Scranton Business College.
A Scranton Business College gradu
ate, a young man only twenty years
old, is drawing a salary of $70 per week
in Xew York city, lie attributes ills
success solely to tho training he re
ceived at the Scranton Business Col
lege and to close application on his
part. Many S. B. C, students are draw
ing large salaries in Xew York, Phila
delphia and Buffalo,
An attempt was made last night to
run street cars through Mlnookti for
tho first time after nightfall since tho
strike began and the result was dis
astrous. Two curs were derailed ami burned
by a inub and the crews of botli were
obliged to lice before a fusllade of
stones.
Cars have been run through Mlnookti
for some time during tho daylight
hours and one of them was obliged
to lay up In Moosic a few days ago
because of water washed across the
track from n blocked culvert near But
ler's mines.
This car had been slulled there until
yesterday afternoon when a gang of
iauorcrs was sent down to clean out
tho culvert and drain the water off
the track,
The wreck car was sent down to
bring in the stalled car, which was
unable to proceed under Its own head
way becaue of damage done to It by
mischief makers. Tho wreck cur also
became disabled and was obliged to
come back to this city. Last night
shortly before S o'clock an old passen
ger ear manned by a wrecking crew of
barn men was started- down to bring
in the stalled cur.
The temporary wrecking car got
through Mlnooka safely enough on Its
trip down, but there was trouble ahead
for the wrecking crew on the return
trip.
BEGUN AT THIS LINE.
It began at the line dividing Moosic
borough from Lackawanna township.
Here a gang of men had gathered and
the throwing of stones began. The cars
were obliged to proceed slowly and
the crowd followed, gaining in num
bers every minute. The stones flew
faster and crashed through the win
dows of both cars. Cries of "scab!"
"scab!" were heard on all sides.
The barn man who was acting as
motorman, put on full power but not
sufllcient speed could be worked up to
pull the cars out ot harm's way. By
ine lime ine central part, or juinooKa
had been reached the crowd numbered
several hundred persons. In front of
P. C. Connelly's store, near the old
postofllce, a number of big stones had
been placed on tho rails and the head
cur running full tilt into these was
thrown off the track.
Tho crew decided at this point that
discretion was the better part of valor
and started on a dead run for. Scran
ton and didn't stop until they reached
the William Council Hose house on
Pittston avenue.
The cars were surrounded in the
meantime by the mob and in a few
minutes flames burst up from the front
one. It was soon all ablaze and In a
short time the second car also had
caught. Before the Humes died out a
crowd ot over 2,000 persons had gath
ered from the surrounding country to
watch the sight.
OFFICERS HURRIED TO SCEXE.
A car load of company employees
and special officers was sent down as
soon as word reached this city that the
cars were burning. This car was stop
ped within a short distance of the
burning cars and after its occupants
had sized up the situation and realized
the impossibility of their discovering
the ringleaders of the mob it was
turned around and brought back to
this city.
It was stated at Mlnooka late last
night that Hie front car Caught on
fire Itself, the blaze being caused by
the power which had not been turned
off. Tho company officials ridiculed
this statement and insist that the ears
were deliberately set on fire. The car
being off the track, they say, prevented
a connection and rendered It absolute
ly impossible for the car to have
caught on fire Itself.
"Saved My Life and Kept
Me from Insane Asylum."
Mrs. Wilcox Is Now In
Perfect Health Through No
Other Agency Than
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
Kuril est nnd Camlitl Statements
Made by a California Lady.
! ' i ,fr .j. . 4. -
The absolute need ot tin honest nnd
genuine Invlgorator and health giver In
the spring season Is deeply Impressed
on tho mind of every thinking and In
telligent man and woman.
The happy cure of Mrs. J, K. Wilcox,
ot Winters, Cul through the unff of
Palne's Celery Compound, created
widespread astonishment and joy
amongst her friends and neighbors who
were exceedingly anxious regarding her
condition.
The best medical treatment failed
oven to give Mrs. Wilcox 11 few days
of relief from her sufferings of mind
and body. At last, Palne's Celery Compound-
saved her from a terrible end
and planted her feet firmly on the
rock of health.
Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testimony,
dear render, and If you remain obdur
ate and unbelieving after such an ear
nest and convincing confession of cure,
nothing but a direct act of Providence
can snatch you from the dangers and
perils of your position. Mrs. Wilcox
says:
"I feel It my duty to toll you what
Palne's Celery Compound did for mo.
Some years ago my head troubled me so
that it seemed I should go crazy, it
was caused by overstudy. I asked the
advice of two doctors who gavo mo
medicine to no effect, and I did not
know what I would do. I did not want
to see any one, everything seemed so
strange. I had a tired, lagging feeling,
my bowels were out of order, my kid-,
neys troubled me, and I felt badly, but
before 1 had taken halt ot one bottle of
Palne's Celery Compound I felt like a
new person. Four bottles cured me
nnd I would recommend it to all who
feel the way I did. I can't praise it half
enough, for I know It saved my life
and kept me from imprisonment In un
Insane asylum, which Is as bad as
death."
