SIMpHONr oRCHESrRA CONCERT.
The Season brought to an End by Last
Evenings Performance.

Evenings Performance.
The first season of the Paur Symphony
Orchestra came to an end last night. The fifth
concert was heard ut Carnegie Hall BY an au-
dience which showed its friendlness to the
conductor by sincere and hearty applause
The concert far as its success de-
pended on the personal efforts OF Mr.
Paur. proved equal to the high standard
he has set. There were but two Or
chestral works on the programmc-thc third
"Leonore" overture by Beethoven and the
fourth IF minor symphony by Tschaikuwsky-
two works differing widely in character but
both occupying high places in orchestral music.
The individuality OF Mr.. Paur made itself felt
through the firm hold he has on his men:
his every gesture has a meaning and is i'm
mediately ohcyed This accounts for the
incisive attack, the precision and the perfect
dynamic effects OF the. orchestra. :. The even
c1foceltdo At the opening of the Leonore
overture, introduced with "A barely audblr
pidHissitao, was as artistic as it is rare. The

of Tschaikowsky. with its sensuous themes

mains for the male to dazzle the hearcr by its

and was worthy elimination OF Mr. Paurs
efforts.
1t was unfortunate that some of tho orcheS-
tra effects were marred by frequent breaks in
the tone OF the brass Instruments some poor
tuning in the wood wind and also nf the tym
pani. The playing of the latter important in
strument was weak and not equal to the de-
mands imposed by the music.
1t had been announced that Mr.. paur would
be his own soost, but instead Mrs Josephine
Jacoby. contralto. and Mr.. William G. Carl,
organiSt. were heard Neither Of them reached
the artistic height OF the concert. Ms.
Jacoby's is, beautiful voice, but by
no means well used. Her singing Is monoto-

An unfortunate accident occurred at
the Delaware and Hudson breaker yes
terday afternoon, resulting in the pain
ful injury of John Brown, of Main
street and Mr.. Purdy. of Carbondale
Both men were employed in the car
penter gang who are tearing down the
old breaker. The heavy timbers are
lowered by means of ropes attached to
a small stationery engine. One of these
timbers was about to be pulled from
its position when the two men, fearing
1t might swing and injure them stepped
aside on what they considered a safe
support. They had no sooner done so
than the timber upon which they were
standing gave away underneath them
and both men fell to the ground, a dis
tance Of twenty-five feet. When picked
up Mr.. Purdy was unconscious and re-
malned so for some time. DIR. S. d.

summoned and examined the men.

TUNKHANNoCK.


Some HttIe dissatisfaction was eX-
pressed by the school directors after
yesterdays convention overthe manner
in which the salary Of the county
superintendent was increased. Prob
ably majority of the convention were
In favor of increasing the salary from
$1,000 to $500, but they We're not in
favor OF giving the superintendent
$4,000 per year. The resolution was
so worded that the present superin-
tendent will draw $500 in addition TO
what he is allowed by the state. in
case the law at present in the hands
of the governor should receive his sig
nature, the minimum salary of a coun-
ty superintendent will be $l,500 or in
case the average school term of the
county should exceed seven and one
half months. then he would be entitled
to receive S1,500 from the state. If
either of these contingencies happen,
our superintendent will receive a sal
airy of $4,000 pear year for three years.
Some of the directors claim that they
did not know what they were voting
for, owing to the confusion in the hall,
and others claim that the motion was
lOl CdIIleu, lHdt 1llOTe NOleu against
II than for it. However, the chair
man, Mr.. Piatt, declared the MOI, IN
carried and as no one appealed, 1t
would seem as if the decision must
stand. There was some talk last night
of having the directors make Il pro-
test in writing against the increase Cf
salary.

juctice of the peace of Nicholson bor-

Safety of Railroad Travel.

Last year on American railways one
passenger was killed in accidents out of
every 2S2I474 passengers carried. That
is to say, that you can take train p
S27, 474 times before, on the law of aver
ages, your turn comes to be killed. You
viii have 20 travel 72093,9 9G3 miles on the
cars before that turn comes, and 4,5il,-
ass miles before you are injured. If you
travel twenty miles every day for 100
days in the year you can keep on at It
for 75S years before your turn comes to
be hurt. If there had been railways when
our Savior was born, and you had begun
10 travel on the first day Of the year A.
D. /, and had travelled 100 miles In every
day Of every month OF every years since
then, you would stll have lin this year
1899 nearly 100000 miles yet to travel
before your turn came To be killed.
