SACRED CONCERT A SUCCESS.
Was All That Could BE Desired from
Every Point of View.

Such an audience was attracted to
the sacred concert given last night un-
der the direction of Professor w. p.
Schilling, the chorister of st. Peters
cathedral, that the large hall of St.
Thomas college was filled to the last
seat and many persons besides were
standing.
The programme, as printed previous
1y in The Tribune, was carried out in
It's entirety, and there We're also sew
eral encores. 1t was Professor Schil-
ling's intention not to permit encoreS
on account of the length of the pro-
gramme, but the audience would not
let him live up to his intention, de-
manding a repetition of every number.
This would have been impossible, so
by way of compromise a few of the
mcst warmly applauded numbers were
repeated
One of these was the solo and chorus
by the Thalia Male chorus, composed of
G. Reppert, j. Miller, Frank Becker,
John Drummer, j. Schrieber, Otto
Stoeckel, G.. Schmidt, l.. Haberstroh
and Peter Snyder. Mrs. Schilling's So
prano solo and trio by Miss Du Boies,
Victor Gruener and Gustave Rupert
were the other numbers which were
repeated.
The closing selection by st. Peters
cathedral choir, "Domine" from Mo-
zGrt's requiem, one of the most diff
ficult of vocal compositions, was rem
dered in manner that was truely re-
markable for an amateur choir.

STANTON GETS A VERDICT
Traction Company Muicted, but City
Is Released

Saturday morning the jury in the
case of Giles Stanton against the
Scranton Traction company and city of
Scranton returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for $SS7.99 and found that the
city was in no way liable for the in
jury upon which the suit was based.
The verdict is conditional upon Judge
McPherson's future finding as to
whether or not the evidence warranted
the submission of the case to the jury.
The plaintiff sustained a fractured
leg by the upsetting of his hay wagon
on a snow bank thrown up by a street
car company's sweeper on Capouse
avenue. 1t was alleged also that the
city had contributed to the accident by
shoveling snow from the sidewalks on
to the bank in question but the jury
declined to sustain this contention The
defense was that Stanton had had an
upset on this very same snow bank
only four days previous to the accident
and was consequently guilty of con-
tributory negligence in attempting
again to drive over it. This is the point
on which Judge McPhersons decision
hangs.

TO BE READY FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Big Consignment OF Cartridges Sent
Here FRIDAY.

Ten thousand rounds of ammunition
were quietly smuggled into the arsenal
of the Scranton city guard armory FRI
day night. 1t came fiom Harrisburg
and no one knew of its coming or ar
rival excepting Lieutenant Colonel G.
G. Mates, who Is commanding the
Thirteenth during Colonel Coursen's
Fbsence in Florida, and Commissary
Sergeant Reese watkins. who assisted
in storing the boxes away.
If any orders came in connection with
the shipment of the ammunition they
are of course being carefully kept from
the public. There is no doubt though
that this move is In line with the pres
ent activity of the government in pre-
pairing for the crisis that seems terri
bly, imminent.
Now that's the way the "Yaller jour
nails" would have it.
Every statement contained in the
above paragraph is literally true. Ten
thousand rounds of ammunition were
received from Harrisburg Friday and
in the early evening it was quietly
stored away in the armcry arsenal
That the thing was quietly done is ex-
plainei by the fact that It would have
been remarkable had there been any
buster made about it. 1t is a regular
occurrence.
The regulations of the National
Guard require that a certain amount
of ammunition be kept on hand at
each regimental headquarters. When
the Hazleton trouble broke out the
Thirteenth's stock was pretty well ex-
hausted by reason of it being the
height of the rifle practice season. Ten
thousand rounds of cartridges were
taken along to Ha2leton and according
to orders was distributed among the
men. This gave each man about twen-
ty-five cartridges. There was more or
less rifle practice down there and what
cartridges were left in the ammunition
boxes carried by the men were hardly
worth collecting, so they were allowed
to keep them that they might not have
the trouble of making out requisi-
tion when they might want TO practice
on the local ranges.
This left the stores at the armory
10000 cartridges short and so along in
December, some time, the colonel sent
in an order to division headquarters
for 10000 cartridges to fill out the re-
quired stock.
And there YOU are.

Owing to the dulness of the coal
trade over half of the twenty-thrce
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
collierles in this region have received
orders to shut down indefinitely.
How long they are likely to remain
idle is not known even TO the com
pany officials. Arthur II. Storrs, as
slstant superintendent of the coal de-
partment, stated yesterday when ask
ed concerning the probable length of
the shut down that it all depends on
the weather.
IF q cold spell should set in this
week, we could anticipate q demand
and might resume any day. The roll
icy Of our company 10 not to work the
collieries on part time, as do some of
the other operators, but, instead, to
work full time as long as we can find
a market for the coal, and, when the
market does not permit of continuing
the output, to shut down altogether.
1.-THE present shut down is the same
as the others that have taken place
previously. The rumor of a general
and lengthy suspension Is a mere fab
ricatiOn."
