SOUTHWORTH'S ITJPITS.
They Gave a Delightful Recital at
Powell's Last Night.
Any recital which Is given under Mr.
Southworth's direction Is always a de
light. There was never a more consci
entious teacher than Mr. Soutbworth.
There has never been one In Scrnnton
who has produced more excellent re
sults, nor one whose pupils give evi
dence of more faithful training. The
pupils' recital given last night ut
Powell's music rooms was no exception
to the record of .the years.
The artistic perfection of his teach
ing Is unmistakable even In the young
est little maid studying with him.
There Is a singular fineness, ns well as
grace, in the work of bis pupils which
makes them distinctive and more than
once adds the inspiration pointing to a,
carenr.
The pianoforte performers ivere as
sisted last night by Miss Florence Rob-'
ertson, whose fresh and lovely voice is
u. joy to hear. Miss Robertson Is a
pupil of Miss Cordelia Freeman, and
has the free, bird-like tone so charac
teristic In Miss Freeman's art. She has
a clear, high soprano, whose upper reg
ister Is notably sweet and vibrant. She
gave two charming numbers and made
evident the possession of a marked
temperament so rare and so fascinating.
She was accompanied on the piano by
Mr. Southworth.
Mr. Southworth's pupils ranged In
ages from children to young women.
They played with uniform Intelligence
and taste.
Miss Helen Jones was among those
whose beautiful touch appealed to the
listeners. Miss Gultell Harris played
with exceptional brilliance, and gives
promise of a future. Miss Trystlne
Morris und Miss Esther M. Ryan were
pleasing In their execution, and Miss
.Muriel Weston gave two numbers with
clever and artistic Interpretation. Miss
Clara Rice was another young girl who
played exceedingly well. Misses Eliza
beth Harrington, Mabel Belden, Nan
Robertson, Eunice Hall, Isnbelln Cul
len, Norma Davis and Mary O'Malley
were among the younger pupils, who
made the programme very Interesting
and entertaining.
The recital was certainly one of the
most satisfactory of the season. The
stage settings were elaborate and taste
ful, as may be always noted In Mr.
Southworth's muslcales.

timony Given by John Whltbeck,
Frank Woitzel and Thomas Flana
gan Woitzel's Vivid Illustration
of Scene at the Riot.
Stephen Reap, of Olyphant, was held
In $500 ball nnd fined $10 and costs by
Magistrate W. S. Millar yesterday, on
tho charge of Inciting riot at the Dela
ware and Hudson collieries on May 20.
Hugh Duggan was lined $10 and costs
and held In $300 ball for being Impli
cated In tho riot of last Thursday and
Oliver Roe was held In $300 ball on the
chargo of disorderly conduct, but the
case against him, of threats, was dis
charged. Samuel Hatldon and John Mc
Qlone, of Dunmore, wore each fined $10
and costs last night for disorderly con
duct. They were charged with being
members of the crowd that pursued
Thomas Flanagan, a non-union miner
ut the Erie company's No. 1 colliery,
and attempted to hang him.
In the case against Reap and Dug
gan. Attorneys J. H. Torrey, Joseph
O'Brien and Robert Murray 'represent
ed the y prosecution. Attorney John J.
Murphy was present, in behalf of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
Attorney J. J. O'Malley was private
counsel for the defense. John Whlt
beck was tho first witness sworn, and
testified that while going to work at the
Eddy Creek colliery last Thursday a
crowd of between one hundred and fifty
and two hundred men closed In on him
and ordered him to keep away from
the colliery.
WOULD THROW HIM IN CREEK.
Ho went Into Ward's store for shel
ter and while there engaged In con
versation with Hugh Duggun, one of
the" men In the crowd. Duggan, Whlt
beck claimed, told him that "If he got
Impudent, they'd pull him out of .the
store, duck him in the creek and then
give him a- good pounding." No vio
lence was offered him, but only Intimi
dation was used.
Frank Weltzel, who was going to
work with Whltbeck at the 'time, was
next sworn. His testimony corrobor
ated, that of the first witness. He de
clared that he recognized among the
men, Duggan, Oliver Roe, Thomas and
Fallon. The crowd surrounded him,
he said, and when he tried to get
through blocked his passage.
"Show us how Duggan tried to keep
you from getting through the crowd,"
said Attorney Murphy.
"Do you want me to show you how?"
queried the witness.
"I do," said Mr. Murphy.
Weltzel, who Is pretty heavily built,
was on his feet In a minute and sidling
up to Attorney Murphy gave a realistic
Illustration of his testimony by colliding
with the stockily built attorney with a
crash, which resounded through the
room. The witness then resumed his
testimony.
Evidence was then heard In the case
of Reap and P. J. McCormlck, who were
charged with creating a disturbance
at Olyphant, May 20. The information
was made by Richard Lewis, a non
union miner. McCormlck was dis
charged but put under $300. ball to keep
the peace.
OTHER CASES.
At Inst night's hearing in the cases of
Thomas O'Horo. Samuel Haddon and
John McGIone, Attorneys J. J. Murphy,
John P. Qulnnan and T. J. Duggan ap
peared for the defense, while Attorney
Joseph O'Brien looked after the Interests
of the piosecutlon. Flanagan testified
that a crowd of men followed him on
his icturn early In the morning from
work on the night shift, that stones
were thrown at him, and he was loudly
abused, and called "scab."
Cross-examination by Attorney Mur
phy brought out the facts that none of
the three defendants had laid violent
hands upon Flanagan. The latter de
clared that they had all endeavored to
persuade him from going to work, and
added that Haddon carried a stone In
his" hand, He wasn't sure whether or
not the latter used the missile.
Attorney Murphy moved that the
case be discharged, as no coercion hud
been used, nnd when Magistrate Millar
refused to dismiss the men, declined to
put In any evidence. O'Horo was dis
charged, and the other men fined. The
cases will be appealed.
