SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Brilliant Musical Event Attracted a
Large Audience to the Lyceum.

The Symphony Orchestra society
gave perhaps the most generally sat
isfactory concert in the series of the
past three years at the Lyceum last
evening before a large and distin-
guished audience. Gradually people Of
this region are awaking to the fact
that we have a magnificent and per-
manent musical organization capable
of doing work which would be pride
to any city.
No singer ever received such an ova-
tion as that given to the great tenor.
Evan Williams, and the beautiful work
of the orchestra also brought out warm
applause.
1t is to be hoped that the Mendels-
sohn- Bartholdy Symphony rendered in
such a mastery manner last evening
will be repeated on a future occasion,
for no listener can become too well
acquainted with such a production.
The allegro movement gave special
scope to the work the Violinists in the
organization are capable of interpret
ting, while the contagious excitement
of the fuge was enhanced by the rich
effect of the wOod-wind and cellos.
The stately Pilgrims March with it's
pathos and weird grandeur was eXcep-
tionally well produced.
The light, soft introduction of THE
Water Carriers" by Cherubni was
extremely well interpreted and in this
number Eugene Hams flute work was
attended with exceptional effect, al
though the production as a whole did
not show as much study as the former
composition The bright, little Grey
numbers. by request We're played with
intelligence and feeling and gave GER
tain character of versatility to the pro-
gramme otherwise lacking.
Too much cannot be said of Evan
Williams and his magnetic tenor, nor
of his dgnitied, yet ardent, conception
of his art. The famous Lend Me Your
Aid" from Gounod's Queen of Sheba,"
was sung by him as it was never he
fore heard in this city. The impas-
stoned grace of his work, united with
the full and Incompatible richness of
his tones, gave his listeners new SEN
satlon. At the climax of this great
solo the audience was wrought To the
| highest pitch Of enthusiasm, the evi-
denCe of which must have astonished
those interested if they recalled it in
calmer moments. The magician with
his fairy gift was not allowed To leave
until he had delighted the assemblage
with an Cxquisitely facile rendition in
Welsh of Thou Gentle Dove"
The symphony society should be
given credit for affOrding the people Of
Scranton the treat of hearing this
famous tenor in his early career.
The boxes We're occupied by Mrs
William Connell and party, Judge and
Mrs. II. NJ. Edwards and party, and
Colonel T.. II. Ripple and family.

RESIGNATION OF MR.. BULGIN.
Was Presented to His Congregation
Sunday Night.

Rev. r. r. Bulgin, who for the past
eighteen months has been pastor of the
Christian church on North Main ave-
nue., North Scranton, on Sunday pre-
sented his resignation to his parishion-
erS and asked that it be accepted as
soon as possible. Mr.. Bulgin resigned
a year ago but the congregation re-
fused to accept 1t.
Since he has been in charge of the
church it has prospered wonderfully
and his parishioners are loath to have
him leave them.
Mr.. I3ulgin has been devoting a con-
siderable portion of his time recently
to evangelistic work which has made
such demands on his time as to rem
der it impossible for him to give ade-
quate time To his regular charge. He
has practically reorganized the Chris
tian churcn on Tripp avenue, Dun
more. and it is now in quite a flourish
irg condition.
Mr.. l3ulgn has not yet definitely de-
cided whether he will continue his
eVanSniStic work here or accept a
charg7 in another place.

ANOTHER BREWERY COMBINE.
New One Has Secured the Bartel
Brewery at Edwardsville.

AN extensive brewery deal was clos
ed the latter part of the week When
the Bartel brewery, of Edwardsvillc,
which recently began operations, was
disposed of to a New York syndicate
says the Wilkes Barre Record. The
papers for several weeks have contain
ed accounts of the syndicatc's opera
tions in New York state, but 1t has
not been supposed that they contem-
plated an invasion of Pennsylvania.
Satisfactory options were secured
from the various stockholders of the
Bartel brewery. Herman Bartel. the
well known Syracuse brewer, is presi-
dent Of the Edwardsville company and
the principal stockholder. This brew
cry, however, Is in no way connected
with the Syracuse concern of the same
name. Among those in this Vicinity
who are interested in the brewery are
T.. j. Rutledge, who is manager, and
Mr.. Reed, the secretary and treasurer
of the company. Other stockholders
are Sylvester Pauksztis, of Edwards
villC; NJ. G. Russell and Joseph Wal
lace.
The new brewery syndicate is com
posed entirely of New York capitalists
and they have been successful in gain
ing control OF large number of New
York concerns.
"Mr. Reed. the secretary and treas
urer of the Bartel company Informed a
Record reporter last evening that while
this deal had been practically closed.
all of the stockholders having agreed
to the sale, no formal transfer of in
terest had yet been made, and that the
business would not be transferred for
some time. The present management
will be continued for several months
and consequently no change will be
made in the force. The change of own
ership will not affect the output and
the business will be conducted along
the same lines as ct present. Mr.. Bar.
tel, it IS understood, is not Interested
in the syndicate. He has built several
breweries, which he has sold soon
after they began operations, the Lack
awanna brewery at Scranton being an
example. 1t was built by Messrs. Bar
tel and Hand. Mr.. Bartel disposinG OF
his interest soon after it's erection.
THE Bartel brewery of Edwardsville
was built about q year ago and opera
tions were begun the first of last July.
1t is fitted up with the latest improved
ii'S' hi''SiS "iu mas " 'opA'i'S tuudl w
that of any brewery in the northeast
ern part of the state. The cost of erec-
tion was $500, 000 The present output
is about 1,2OO barrels per week, and
about fifty men are employed"
When the local brewers combine was
organized in this vicinity Bartel said he
was going to start a brewery in this
city to fight the syndicate, but he
finally decided to locate his plant at
EdwardsVile.

ton OF these thoroughfares. having a
frontage of 40 feet and an adjoining
one on the court having a frontage Of
9S feet. The city had an option on the
latter lot. but the negotiations for It's
sale fell through. Mr.. Fuller failed to
notify the contractor of this and al!
lowed him to construct the sewer in
front of both lots, without correcting
the false impression that ne had Signed
for them both. When payment was de-
manded Mr.. Fuller would only settle
for the corner lot, for which he had
signed. and the contractor went into
court to recover from Mr., Fuller the
assessment on both lots.
Judge Edwards holds that the UNDER
taking between the parties was simply
one Of contract. The defendant, he
says. signed the written agreement for
his corner lot only and is therefore
only liable for one hundred and forty
feet
The plaintiff Is also directed to pay
back to the defendant S2A75, which he
inadvertently oVerpaid.

The hearing will probably come up to-
day
II developed yesterday that Judge
Archbald's action i'm so severely rebuk-
ing Examiner r. J. Duggan on the
opinion filed last Friday was the result
of Il misconcepton of the facts in the
case. Mr.. Duggan. II appears, was not
present at the examination on the day
when Judge Archibald made his ruling
directing John Gibbons to answer the
questions that have been causing all
the bother. Having been out of town
and not having had time to read the
morning papers. he went into the hear
ing the next morning totally ignorant
of the ruling of the day before. and
when the questions We're repeated he
unwittingly disregarded the decree of
court and sustained the objections that
were made to the questions by Mr..
Gibbons attorney, !. II. Burns.
DUGGAN INFORMED.
1t was not until that afternoon that
Mr.. Duggan learned that he had gone
counter to the ruling of the president
judge. Mr.. Lewis, his fellow examiner
said to him when the hearing was con-
cluded: That's nice thing you've
done, Duggan." whats that?" Mr.
Duggan quericd. "Why. what you did
this morning-knocked out the court. :"
Then, when Mr.. Duggan expressed
blank surprise at what his fellOw-eX
aminer was talking about. Mr.. Lewis
proceeded to explain, and for thf first
time Mr. Duggan learned of the deCis-
ion of the day before
Yesterday morning, at the opening of
court Attorney John NJ. Harris, in be-
half of Mr.. Duggan, placed these facts
before the court and made a request
in the form of a motion to have Judge
Archibald strike out of his opinion the
paragraph criticizing Mr. Duggan.
Judge Archibald, after satisfying him
self that an injustice had been done
Mr.. Duggan. made the following state
| ment from the bench:
- hllhfN fltOM RECObD
Il am sorry if any il Justice has been
done to Mr.. Duggan, bat it was sug-
gested here at the time of argument by
counsel, and taken for granted, that
Mr. Duggan was fully aware of the
stand taken by me in the matter. and
We thought that possibly he had made
| the ruling on his own responsibility. be-
cause the question was not passed upon
by a full bench. If he had no knowl-
edge of the ruling. as has been said.
am most ready and willing to set him
right and would suggest that the ref
| erence to him be struck out, so it will
not appear on the records. l hope the
| members of the bar will take general
notice of this action and that the pub
| lie at large will be made as much
| aware of their action of court as it was
| the other one"
Mr.. Duggan holds himself blamabe
for not having notified Judge Archibald
| of the facts of the case in due time.
