LAST NIGHT'S BEGITA1.
Neither heat nor cold nor storm can
miiho nny dirretenro to tho Seraiilon i on
Borvutory icellala as fur as the diminution
of munliriA In attendance upon theso ilo
llKhlfill iiiTalr Is concerned. Thoy mo m
wiivh artistic, nml elevating In toiio and
an.' tloliift ntucli for tho musical culture of
Scrnnlon. Tho piiinininmc last night was
exceptional as the main portion was pre
sented by Professor Pennington himself
In several lovely piano numbers. Ho was
lpcolvtd with prolonged applause whrli hu
appeareil on the platform last nhtiit.
Professor Pennington was exceptionally
happv In his Interpretalloti of Schumann
and his solo work oppned with two num
bers exquisitely delicate in sentiment.
Ml. .1....I ....... l.n V.ifitn(fn 111 It' Minor
i nu inn. uo itiu '"-v --. : ,r..
...1.1..1. t. ..i ..I tt.iiit ...unit InHUmicr or
oxccullon, Tho second was tho "Bclilum
merlled." He followed with tho lovely Im
promptu In A flat Major by Schubert.
'J'lio two Mendelssohn nuinnpis were iw
iililv tho" favoiltes of tho ovcnlnB. Mr.
Pennington's lemlciliig of the Uncb Pre
lude and fugue, was a triumph of execu
tion and majestic effect.
tit. .....n wnu imp nf HtlCll Vll-
ilcty and range that his versatility was
perhaps evIliLCil as never iioioru nim ""
eiimo to Hemnt'on. The weird beauty of
tho Chopin Nocturne, the Von Weber anil
Huff selections and In fact all wore far
beyond what Is often heard well played
at n piano recital. Mr. Pennington was
pieseiitcd with an Immense bouquet of
roses early In tho uvenlng.
Another gieat feature of .Interest was
Mrs. Ijenoro Thompson's soIom. Mrs.
Thompson's singing In Him Park church
Is attracting widespread Interest, but sho
has been heard little In concert. Mrs.
Thomson has a wonderful contralto volco
of nmgnlllecnt lnnge and Its dramatic
possibilities were perhaps never realized
b- u Scranton audience as last night. Sho
sang llrst the aria, "Tho Blind Cllrl'u
Song" from the opera by "I'onchlelll," and
the pathos and tragic sweep of thu cllmat
weic adequately given.
t'nllho most contraltos Mrs. Thomson
has done much with the middle register
that It has a pure lyrical quality so mu
slpal as to be very remarkable. As on en
core she sang one or Kthelbert Nevln's
last songs, "A Necklace of Love," with
exquisite tenderness. The Vnnmih song,
"Love's Years Arc Young." written In a
very low key was Interpietcd In a wny
long to be remembered, so llcbly beau
tiful are her lower notrs. Miss lUbol A.
Stone was the accompanist.
l-'red VVIdmayer's violin woik was a
distinct succPhs. Ho seems to improve In
technique and expression every day. t'ho
Beethoven Sonata with Mr. Pennington's
accompaniment was extraordinarily weU
played.
The finale was the Hungarian l-'antasio
by Liszt, with an accompaniment of throe
plnnos played by Miss Browning, Miss
French nnd Miss Stone, of the Conserva
tory. It was a-really exceptional per
formance and gave a satisfying eltect of
orchestral woik.
WANT TO CONSTRUCT
A TEMPORARY LINE
Rapid Transit Company Seeks Per
mission from City to Cross
Certain Streets.
Attorney James H. Torrey and J. S.
JIcAnulty. representing the Lackawan
na and Wyoming Valley Hallway com
pany, had an Informal conference yes
terday afternoon with Recorder W. L.
C'onncll, Director of Public Works
Roche and City Solicitor Watson anont
a certain proposition which the com
pany desired to make to the city.
As is well known, the company pro
poses to run Its lines from the south
erly end of the city Into the central
part .through a tunnel, u largo part t
which will consist of old abandoned
mine workings. The company's en
gineers, after careful computation, have
decided that the work of constructing
the tunnel and laying tho tracks there
in cannot bo completed until at least u
year after the rest of the toad has been
completed and is ready for operation.
Tho company, of course, bus Its pri
vate rlghL of way purchased through
the city from the point where It crosses
tho boundary line to the place where
its central station is to bo located. Tn
order to obviate the necessity of wait
ing to operate the road for a full year,
after tho larger part of it is completed,
It has been deemed advisable to lay
temporary tracks on the surface, to be
used pending the completion of the
tunue.
As long as the lines were to be oper
ated under the surface, no .permission
would need to be obtained' from the
city, but on' a surface line certain
streets would havo to be crossed and
this could not be done without permis
sion. The company's representatives at
yesterday's conference asked the re
corder for permission to temporarily
cross certain streets. The map of the
proposed route which they presented
showed that Maple street Is tho mly
traveled street which It Is proposed to
cross.
After some little discussion Recorder
Connell announced that tho company
could have permission to cross theso
streets,, providing: it flled with the city
n wrlt'ten agreement setting forth that
the arrangement was to be only of a
temporary nature and that under no
consideration will the company over
claim a permanent right to cross the
streets mentioned.
This wns agreed to by the company's
representatives and such an agreement
will be filed, In u few days.
NO CHICKEN THIEF.
Mary White Resented Insinuation
and Was Slapped.
Mary White, u colored woman living
In Dunn's Patch, suys that sho Is no
chicken thief and because she resented
being culled one she says Waneho
Henry, ulbo colored, slapped her face.
She ciuihod Blanche's arrest on a
charge of assault and battery nnd at
u hearing held before Alderman Ruddy
sho explained things.
"Ah an't no chicken thief," she said.
"This hero woman said I stole a, chick
en and that she seen It bollln' In u pot
In ma kitchen, That ain't true and sho
knows It ain't. When I told her It
wasn't slut up and slupped ma face."
Alderman Ruddy committed the
Henry woman to tho county Jail In de
fault of $300 ball.
MONEY PAID OVER.
$5),000 Was Received from the
County Treasurer,
Thero was rejoicing in and around
city hall all day yesterday. County
Treasurer Scruptop paid oyer $50,000 of
the Ihiuor license mopey duo tho city
and nil city employes were paid for
the month of Muy, The men employed
by tho department of public woiks were
also paid off.
Over JI'.'.OOO had been paid out on va
rious wurranls when the city treasur
er's olllco was closed last night. Tho
question at Issue regarding tho paying
over of tho license money Is to he
brought to the attention of court In tho
very near future by mutual ugrecment.

NO CLUE IN
- QtllNN CASE
POLICE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO
UNEARTH ANYTHING.
In the Field Some Distance from
Where Miss Qui tin Lay, the Club
with Which Her Skull Wns
Crushed Was Found Yesterflay
and Her Yeast Bottlo nnd Hnlr
Comb Were Also Picked Up Au
topsy Showed That the Skull Was
Teirlbly Crushed.
Not in years has Scrnnton been
stirred us It wns yesterday by tho aw
ful crime committed In the Koyser
valley Monday night, which resulted
In the death of Miss Mary Qtilnn early
yesterday morning.
With daylight yesterday the police
searched thu Hold where Miss Qulnn
lay when found, and Its vicinity, but
were not rewarded with anything In
thu nature of a clue to tho perpetra
tors of the crime. Some circumstances
connected with the crime suggest tliat,
more than one person was engaged In
It, but thero Is nothing definite even
about this.
From the developments of yesterday
It Is known that when Miss Qulnn left
her home about 9 o'clock Monday even
ing, Intending to go to a house near
the Hyde Park shaft for yeast, she
stopped at tho homo of a friend, Mary
Herrlck, on Twenty-second street,
where she remained until after 10
o'clock.
She realized It was too lato to obtain
the yeast then and started towards
her home. She walked out Luzerne
street to the Continental rpud leading
towards her home and had reached a
point midway between tho house and
Luzorno street, when she was assault
ed. HEAVY CLUB USED.
A struggle evidently ensued In the
roadway, when her assailant felled her
with a heavy club. There Is a mark on
the road at this point as If a small
pool of blood hud formed. Tho Indi
cations are that at least two blows
were Inflicted with the club. Every
thing points to the fact that Miss
Qulnn was partially carried and par
tially dragged from the roadway
through a broken fence to the place In
the field sixty feet from tho roadway
where she was later found nnd where
she was In all probability outraged.
A comb from her hair and the money
which she was carrying- to buy the
yeast were found in the road near
the break In the fence, as if they
had dropped at the llrst attack.
Between this broken fence and the
point where the body lay Is the clump
of bushes where her switch was found
Monday night. From the fence to tho
point where she wns found a trail of
blood was dlscernable.
Some distance away, possibly 200 feet,
tho yeast bottle, containing a penny,
was found beneath a clump of bushes.
The paper in which the bottle was
wrapped was saturated with blood, and
the bottlo was cracked, Indicating that
It had been thrown by some person.
The club, with which the woman was
assaulted, was about four feet, in
length and several Inches in thickness.
This was found about 130 feet away
from where the body lay, with blood
stains on it.
A PIECE OF OAK.
The club Is u piece of oak and was
evidently secured at one of the nearby
collieries, whore it was probably used
as a prop starter. It is quite heavy, and
If there was but one man ho could not
well have taken the woman into the field
and carried this club. Either there wore
two men or the one was a wonderfully
self-possessed fellow, who after crush
ing In the woman's skull und outraging
her, threw- her yeast bottle in one direc
tion, placed her switch In a clump of
bushes, and going back to the road se
cured his club and either hurled or
carried that Into the field. From tho
pool of blood found where the head lay
It is argued by some that she was
again struck over the head by a club
when she was thrown to the ground In
the field, but this seems unlikely. It Is
doubtful If anything definite will be
known about many things connected
with this terrible affair, since the lips
of the only person who would tell arc
sealed in death.
The city police and county detective
are at work on the case, but as yet
nothing In the wny of a definite or sat
isfactory clue has been discovered.
At daybreak yesterday morning Lieu
tenant Davis made an examination of
the premises and traced footprints
from tho londway, leading up the hill
west of where the woman was first at
tacked. Pome of theso footprints
would Indicate that the assailant was
barefooted. The trace was soon lost,
however, In tho grafcs.
THE BODY PREPARED.
Dr. J. J. Brennan remained with the
woman uptll sho expired. Funeral Di
rector f'uslck later prepared the body
and embalmed it, and nt 3 o'clock yes
terduy afternoon Coroner Sultry began
his autopsy, usslsted by Dr. Urennun.
The autopsy revealed the fact that
death was due to u compound comtnln
uted fracture of tho skull, extending
from tho forehead to the base of tho
brain. The brain matter was badly
ruptured and torn nnd pieces of the
skull were Imbedded in' tho brain.
Tho skull was literally crucked Into
fragments, and tho wonder Is that the
victim lived as long after as sho did,
In tho opinion of both physicians It
was the severest fracturo either had
ever seen.
Coroner Saltry Impanelled the fol
lowing jury on tho case; Peter O'Don
nell, John Howell, Fred Lldstone, W.
It, Hughes, John MoHulo and Dr. J. J,
Brennan. An Inquest In tho enso will
be held as soon as some tunglble evi
dence can be secured.
Some tlmn ago a disturbance occurred
In Qulnn'f pluee, at S21' Keyset- ave
nue, when Frank Slpple, of Morris
court, was assaulted and several of his
ribs wero broken, The alleged nssall
apts, Joe Klmu, of Continental Hill;
Stanley Novakofskl, of 312 South Key
ser avenuo; Stanley Yllllnskl, of Con
tlnenlul IUII; Frank Kumwlskl, of S23
Twenty-fourth street, and John Wlso
waskl, of Twenty-fourth street, wero
arrested, nnd Indicted by tho grand
jury, and their cases arc on tho trial
list for today,
, SKULI FRAfJTUBKD.
A week ago last Saturday night an
other fracas occurred In Qulnn's hotel,
In which Joe Dudoel, of Continental
Hill, had his bkull fractured. This oc
currence the police' believe may hayo
some bearing on the present cuse.
John Snubrlsky and Frank Omaku,
of Twenty-fourth street, were also ur-
i i ,
rested In connection with tho Slpplc
case, but they were discharged from
lack of evidence,
FIERCE ELECTRICAL STORM.
Several Places Struck by Lightning
Yesterday Afternoon,
A fierce electrical storm came up
Very suddenly about 3, 45 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The rain poured In
perfect totironts for upwards of fifteen
minutes, accompanied by vivid light
ning ami exceptionally loud thuiider
claps.
The mule barn of the Erie company
at Dunmoro was struck by lighting und
the root was literally ripped to pieces,
Had tlipre been any mules In tho barn
a number would undoubtedly have been
killed but they had been all shipped to
pasture In Susquehanna county last
week. A slight fire started but it was
extinguished by the downpour of rain.
A house In the rear of the residence
of D. .1. Campbell on Gibson street was
also struck. Not much dumngc was
done and tho blaze which started was
easily put out. Another terrific down
pour of rain occurred about 0.20 o'clock
last night, driving pedestrians to shel
ter all over the city.
