Curious Facts About Swearing Vice Pres

More than once in our history the
vice president has been sworn and in
Quoted into office sooner than the presi-
dent, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat
This was the case of John Adams, who
took the oath and became president of
the senate and vice president of the
United States nearly month before
Washington's first inauguration; it was
the case with Willard Fillmore, who, il
is said. took the oath on Sunday, March
4, falling on that day of the week in
1s4o. while Taylor, the president-clect,
being n rigid Sabbatarian. did not per-
nit himself TO be sworn until Monday.
1t is said that in 1877, when March
again fell on Sunday, Wheeler, the vice
day, while Hayes, having religious
scruples, put off the matter until Mon
day. OF these cases. however, the most
peculiar was that Of 1850, when, the gov
eminent having just been put in opera
ton, presented the curious spectacle of
a vice president without president
AT the time, however, the matter seems
to have attracted little attention or re-
mark, and is now remembered only as
historical curio.

LAST SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Orchestra Was Assisted by Ffrangcon
Davies, the Baritone.

The last and in some respects the
best symphony concert of the season
attr .e1 a large audicnc' TO the Froth-
ingham last evening, which was re-
warded by a programme of uncommon
interest presented with marked effect
iveness. The symphony offered was
the famous Beethoven Sth; and in two
of it's movements-the allegretto scher-
zando and the allegro vivace.-the or
ckestra reached q climax In intelligent
Interpretation. Especially did it salts
factorily present the last named move
ment, with its wealth of symphonic
variety and grandeur. Its other selec-
tions were orchestral pieces from
Grieg's "Sigurd Jorsalfar" and the
charming overture to Won Flotow's
"Stradela"-the number that quite
captivated the audience.
But with entire respect TO the orches-
ira, whose growth in grasp, unity and
breadth under the tutorship of Profess
sor Hemberger is fully entitled to gen.
erous praise, the interest of last even
ings audience Centered rather in the
soloist Mr.. Ffrangcon Davies, the newly
developed London baritone of whom
great things had already been said and
of whom yet greater things are in
many circles confidently predicted. The
fact that Mr.. Davies has in six years
risen as it were from musical obscur-
ity to a very commanding place in the
world of song lent TO his first Scranton
appearance unaspect of novelty height
ened by his kinship with a large ele-
ment in our citizenship.
In the arrangement of his numbers
Mr.. Davies elected to begin with the
prologue from Leoncavallo's "Pagliac-
cr'-a choice better suited to win the
approval of the critics than to stir a
miscellaneous audience. 1t took but q
bar or two, however, to win for him
the utmost attention, and as he grew
into the power and quality of his SUI
perb baritone voice, and exhibited the
fine mastery which he has gained over
its minutest intonation, curiosity rip
ened into admiration, and that in turn,
at the prolOgue's end, bred what may
properly be termed an ovation. From
this on, Mr.. Davies chief problem was
how to get away from the stage; but
it must he said for him that if Scran-
ton was generous in it's welcome, he
was equally so in his response. To
each of his three appointed numbers
he added one, and 1t was only then by
enabled to conclude.
The temptation exists to draw COM
parisons between Mr.. Davies singing
and that of Mr. Bispham, who so re-
Gently charmed the music-lovers of this
city. Such a work, would be manifest
ly unfair. The two men are not and
will never be rivals; each occupies
plane particularly his own. To Mr..
Davies has been given the richer and
more commanding voice, and it is Mr..
Bispham's good fortune to excel at this
time in dramatic power and in the in
dcfnablc hut potent quality which, for
lack of a better term, we call personal
magnetism. 1t is to be remembered,
though, that six years ago Ffrangcon
Davies w9s a cleric in orders; let him
have the chance to develop, that the
PhilaGelphian has had and it will then
be time to think about undertaking the
comparison.

TEN WITNESSES ILL.
Dunmore Democrats Unable TO Come 10
Court House Visited by the Con.
test Commission.

The Dunmore contest commission sat
in eleven different places, yesterday
the arbitration room and ten bedrooms
in Dunmore. This peregrination was
reCessitated by the fact that ten of the
witnesses to be examined were sick
abed AS tomorrow Is the last day the
contestants have for taking testimony
and as sick witnesses We're not likely
to recover in time to come before the
commission the only alternative was to
| take the commission before them.
After examining seven witnesses in
the morning at the arbitration room
Commissioner Reedy, Attorneys O'Mal-
ley and Donovan and Stenographer
McAndrew took a carriage and pro-
ceeded to make the rounds of the sick
| rooms. Thomas Carroll, Bryan Bren-
| nan, Dominick Preston, Patrick Lynch,
William Kays, James Fitzpatrick, Pat
rick McAndrew, James Dugherty, Pat
| rick Manley and William Ryan were
the sick witnesses visited. Preston,
Fitzpatrick and Dougherty were dis
qualified for non-payment Of taxes.
William Ryan was so ill of typhoid
pneumonia that it was decided danger
Gus to ply him with questions and
the validity of his vote in consequence
will remain an open question.
Three out of the seven healthy wit
nesses examined in the morning were
found to have cast innrm votes. Pat
rick DouSherty and Patrick Mcdonnell,
of the Second district of the Second
ward, had not paid taxes within the
required time and Patrick O'Boyle, of
the First district Cf the Second ward
voted under age.
The other four examined were: Pierce
Cleary, Of the First district Of the
Third ward: Patrick Corcoran and
Michael Monahan, of the Second dis
trict of the Second ward, and Patrick
Langan, of the First district of the
Third ward.
Tomorrow being the contestants last
day for examining witnesses, it is pos
sible that the commission will be called
upon to sit all day today and during
part of the night.

DlMMlCK CAPTAIN OF COMPANY A.
He Was Elected Last Night to Suc-
cecd Major StiliweI.

James o. Dimmick was last evening,
by a vote of Company A, Thirteenth
regiment, elected to the captaincy in
the place of Frederick w. Stillwell,
promoted to major. From a private
Mr.. Dimmick was made corporal
February %, 1889; sergeant, Decem-
Der l, 1890; commissioned second lieu
tenant January %, 1884, and first lieu
tenant November 21, 1895. He will
make a worthy successor to Major
Stillwell, who, as captain of Company
A, endeared himself to the boys. There
were two other elections which also
were unanimous. Second Lieutenant
Semuel S. Derman was moved to the
first lieutenancy, and First Sergeant
Edwin N. Gee was made second lieu
tenant
The new captain, Mr.. Dimmick, is a
prime faVOrite with the members of
the company. He has been in the SER
vice for eleven years. He was first
lieutenant of the company and his
election last evening was practically
without opposition. Major Stillwell
conducted the election. Sergeant f. r.
Robbins was clerk and Corporal w. b.
Johnson and Private Walter Gunster

To have your horse drop out from
between the shafts of the carriage,
break through the harness and dis
appear into the earth is an experience
vouchsafed, to few, 1t is quite safe to
say, yet just such an experience was
enjoyed-if enjoyed is the worldly
Huckster George Sickler, of West Mar
ket street, last evening.
About $50 o'clock he and his neigh
bor John Mckenzie. were driving
along Mohawk street, where his barn
is situated, intending to put up his
horse. Just as he reined in the horse
a few yards off from the barn the
ground beneath the animals feet sud
denly gave way and down it went into
hole fifteen feet deep.
The shafts of the vehicle struck the
opposite side of the opening, which
was about six feet in diameter, and
prevented the carriage from following
HORSE WENT DOWN.
The horse went down launches fore
most and became wedged in between
the sides of the opening, which mar
rowed gradually as it descended, and
there remained for nearly three hours
before being rescued with ropes and
poles and sundry improvised devices
No serious injury resulted to the ami
NAL, as far as a cursOry examination
would show, but it is not likely it
will be able to loosen it's stiff and
sore joints for q week or so.
The cavern was caused by a set
Ting of the workings in the Devine &
Mcclure mine, the opening of which is
just off Mohawk street and not far
from the scene of the accident.
This, of course, takes the prize for
mine cave-in stories. Heretofore the
premier story had it's scene on the
West mountain just off the Newton
road. The workings from the Hyde
Park cOlllery are very near the surface
at that point and in many places the
water has washed holes through to the
old chambers.
One rainy day last summer, as re-
lated in The Tribune at the time, the
ground was washed from out beneath
the hind wheels of a wagon on which
there was a portable coop filled with
chickens, about to be taken to market.
THE OPENING GREW.
AS the earth gradually washed into
the mine the opening grew in width
and finally the hind wheels of the
wagon dropped in, leaving the body
of the wagon resting on the edge of
the opening and anchoring it there.
The incline thus given the platform
caused the coop to slide out and with
its load of fowl down it went into the
mine.
The force broke the coop open and
the chickens, at least such of them as
escaped death from the fall, are, as far
as any one knows, still running around
in the abandoned workings. Some day
somebody may go in there and come
out with the wherewith to knock the
bottom out Of the spring chicken mar

ACTION AGAINST THE TREASURER.
He Refuses TO Honor the Orders of
the Supervisors.

Patrick Moran and James p. Quinn,
supervisors of the township of Car
bOndale, yesterday began an action in
equity to compel John Battle, treasur-
er of the township, to cash orders
drawn by the supervisors for their sal
aries. Moran's order is for $3.50 and
that of Quinn, $3.50.
Some time ago the court handed
down an opinion with reference to the
auditors of Carbondale township, set
ting forth that they have no power to
draw orders for their salaries. Treas
urer Battle takes it that the opinion
refers also to the supervisors and re-
fuses to honor their orders. The su-
pervisors are represented by Watson
