SKOVGAARD CONCERT A GREAT SUCCESS Eminent Violinist, Assisted by Con trulto and Planlste Gave Highly En tcrtaJnlng Concert Last Friday. Viewed from every standpoint, the musical entertainment last Friday ev ening given by Skovgaard Concjgrt Party was a highly successful one. Never before have the people of Lau renB had the pleasure or attending a concert so repleto with brilliancy of musical talent or one so pleasing to the aesthetic emotions. The three members of the party, Herr Skov gaard, violinist, Miss Ikert. contralto and Miss McClung, planlste, proved themselves artists of the first rank, of whom criticism should come only from the world's musical leaden*. Tak en Individually or collectively the ar tists seemed at their best and their best seemed to be the height of musi cal cultivation. Herr Skovgaard showed himself a master of the violin, master of the tccbuique. as well as of all the soul fulness that can be brought from a glorious Stradivarius. He certainly ? won the heart of every listener. Miss. Ikert, With bur deep, rich contralto, that displayed, range, beauty and per fect enunciation received after every number enthusiastic applaii.se. which subsided only when she reappeared to give an encore. Miss McClung, the charming planlste, gave several selec tions that brought forth the wildest enthusiasm from the nudience. Her accompaniments were truly perfect and added all that could be desired to the evening's pleasure. The program was well balanced and the listener was thrilled one moment with the beauty and strength of selec tions from the classics and the next moment with the chnrm and simplici ty of selections familiar to every American such as "Sewanee River," "Annie Laurie," and "Home Sweet I Ionic." Nothing, in fact could have been added that would have made the evening more enjoyable. It is well to add that the attention given by the audience was exceedingly eoud and this from a house that was crowded almost to overflowing, was in itself proof that the genius of the artists was felt and appreciated. The members of the party each re ceived large bouquets of Ho weis from admirers in the audience. A very hap py incident of the evening was the presentation to Herr Skovgaard of a large basket of violets decorated in the national colors of the artist's na tive land. Denmark. This was pre sented by the members of the eighth grade of the city schools. WRECK AT DEPOT. Peculiar Succession of Collisions in Which >'obody was Injured. A wreck in the freight yards of he C. & W.

When rounding the curve near the Oil Mill, Mr. Nelson saw an other train approaching a short dis tance ahead. Seeing that the two would collide, he reversed his engine and jumped. The fireman followed him. The two engines collided, but With a very slight jar. only a part of the cow catcher on the approaching train being broken. Coming to a stand still. Nelson's engine, having been reversed, began to run back wards. It gathered speed as it went until, in the middle of the freight yard and about a hundred yards from the pOSSi tiger depot, it ran into a caboose and a Clinchfleld coal car. The ca boose was completely demolished, lit tle heing left on the track hut the trucks. The coal car was partly tele scoped, but not completely destroyed. The tender of the engine was smashed Into an almost unrecognizable mass. Luckily no one was hurt nor was the track damaged. Inside of two hours the track was cleared and trains were running ov er it.
