CHAMBER CONCERT.

Guernsey's hall is most admirably
adapted to chamber music, but perhaps
that is not the solitary reason why the
second concert of the season was the best
ever given by the llcmbcrgCr quartctte.
That the programme had much TO do with
tho pleasure afforded is undoubted. 1t
was a programme to cnrapturC an an
chorite and the great pity of the whole
affair is that SO few were present to en-
joy It. No one, unless he were deaf, or
utterly absorbed I'm stock gambling, could
fail to be upliftcd by such delightful
music 1t would be well II our people
would grow familiar with the rarely
beautiful selections which are presented
by this company. Messrs. Hcmberger.
Fred H. Widmayer, y. y. Rippard and
T. II. Rippard.
The first number, a Cherubini Quartctte
in u minor, was fascinating to a degree.
The finale, a splendid strong allegro
movement, was playGl with peculiar bril-
lance and color Naturally the dCsCrip-
tive piece, Schumann's Scenes from
Childhood" would most attract the pop
ular fancy It Is 50 dreamy and truly
poetic in conception and so purely are
the themes brought out that the un-
trained car could not fail to wait intently
for the pretty "story" to sing on through
the sweet measures.
The Catch Me IL You Can" was a
SWIFT, sparkling bit of child play ripping
with laughter. "Traumeri' Is too well
known and too fondly held by all to need
description; enough that 1t was played
with the slow rhythmic flow of dream
dreamed out In the night beneath the
stars. "FrEhtening" was weird and al
most too abruptly rendered to be artis-
tically enjoyable. but THE Knight of the
Hobby Horse" with its vivid motions ana
best of all the "Child Falling Asleep"
given with the mutes were gems which
the audience could not hear enough. The
firal movement was played with dignity
and grace.
But of all the programme to the mu-
sician'S ear. the GODDARD Quartette was
perhaps the greatest pleasure. The
adaEio was exceedingly well interpreted
and the minuct was enthusiastically en-
Corcd. The cello was particularly fine
i'm the last movement. 1t is to be hoped
that the entire group may be heard again
under more advantageous circumstances
which will bring out a throng of listen.

LANCE WOULD NOT SWEAR
Had a Marrow Escape from Being
Committed to Jail for Contempt
of Court on Trial
Yesterday.

John l. Lance, an engineer on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
road. who resides at Clarks Summit,
came within an ace of being commit
ted to the county Jail for contempt
yesterday. He was subpOenaed by the
plaintiff as witness in the case of
A. S. Myers against William p. Lifts
and others, an action in trespass.
Lifts, one of the defendants, Is the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station agent at Clark's Summit and
Lance is a friend of his. He objected
to giving any testimony that might
work injury to Lifts.
When called to the stand he explain
ed his position, but the court did not
consider this excuse as possessing mer-
it and directed that the witness be
sworn, Lance refused to take the oath
and thereupon Judge Archibald direct
ed that the sheriff he sent for.
The attorneys had no desire to send
Mr.. Lance to Jail and after a Consulta-
ton he was withdrawn as a witness.
The case was on trial all day, and
when court adjourned testimony on
the part of the defense was being
heard.
In the case of Miles Clark against
John ]. Kelly and others a verdict was
returned yesterday morning in favor Of

was in the millinery business in a
| store in the Temple Court building on
| Spruce street in 1895, which she leased
| from the defendant. A fire occurred
| in her store on the evening of Jan. 2S,
1895. 1t destroyed a part of her stock.
| The adjustor for the insurance COM
pany did not fix a sufficient figure for
her loss, according to her view, and the
matter was referred to appraisers. The
insurance money was finally paid over
to Miss Carey in the sum of about
| S., 100.
After the appraisement and before
| the adjustment had been completed, at
the instance of w. Gibson Jones. all the
stock not destroyed or partially de-
stroyed was carried away. Miss Carey
is now suing the Joneses for damages
for taking these goods. She stated
that an inventory of her stock a month
before the fire showed it to be worth
about $500 She carried about S3,0 0OC
insurance. The insurance company
estimated the damage to her stock at
S21O0 or thereabouts. The goods taken
were carted TO the basement of the
Court house for the jury to view and
place an estimate upon their value.
The closing arguments to the jury
were made yesterday afternoon anG
today Judge Edwards will deliver his
| charge.

HE REFUSED TO SIGN.
Court will be Asked Today for q
Mandamus to Compel City Con-
troller Howell to Act-Con-
troller's Reasons.

City Controller Howell yesterday an
nounCcd that he would not sign the as
nhalt repair contract, for the reason
that he was satisfied it was illegal.
Today Mr. Burns, attorney for the Bar
Der Asphalt company will go into court
and ask for a mandamus to compel the
controller to do his duty.
Mr.. Howells main reason for be-
lieving the contract Illegal is that it is
Il ten year contract and only one years
appropriation is made to meet it. He
has some other reasons which he says
will develop when the case gets into
court.
Mr.. Burns is confident that court will
grant the mandamus. but fears that a
stay may be secured from the supreme
court. which might lie up the contract
all summer.
His ground fOr this confidence is a
decision by the supreme court in an
exactly Identical case from Williams
port in which it is clearly and eXplic-
lilly stated that the controllers only
duty in the premises is to certify that
the appropriation has been made.

Steps have already been taken in the
First and Third legislative districts
to elect delegates 10 the Republican
state convention. Similar action will
be taken in the Second and Fourth
districts i'm the near future.
There is not likely TO be any opposl-
tion TO the men selected by Judge
Archibald for thr' = SonOr Of represent
ing this county at the state gather
ing. His fitness for the Office he aspires
to and the general desire to sec him
elevated to a position i'm which he will
unqucstiOnably establish a lasting rep
utation as jurist would be sufficient
TO insure the election Of the gentle
men he has named, even If it had not
become a settled policy 10 give the
home candidate the delegation from
his county without opposition or ques-
tion.

FOR STREET COMMISSIONER.
Thomas Name to be Sent to Select
Council at the Next Meeting.

The nomination of Roland Thomas.
ex-councilman of the Fourth ward, for
the office of street commissioner is to
be sent in to select council at the next
meeting in case eleven confirmatory
votes are in sight.
There is a strong possibility, however,
that the Democrats can summon to
their side enough votes to prevent the
confirmation.
