MERELY ANOTHER LIE.
Major Worren Punctures the Oakford Al
ley Sewer's Latest Effort.
From the Scranton Truth, Oct 27.
A reporter for the Truth saw Major
Everett Warren this morning and called
his attention to the statement reprinted
In the Times today and first published
on Oct. 23, the morning following the
Hastings' meeting at the Armory. Mr.
Warren said: "This statement Is on a
par with the falsehood published In that
paper about our candidate for Bherlff,
Mr.Clemons. Of course, I did not say what
is attributed to mo then. The fact is I
spoke of every one of our candidates,
before I Introduced General Hastings,
except Judge Archbald, whose name I
omitted to mention.
"Before introducing General Latta,
who followed General Hastings, I
stated that I was & lawyer, and earned
my living in the courts. All I wanted
personally from the, bench was the
rights accorded me by the law, but the
people of the county had a duty to per
form, and I thought it would be the
ploasantest duty they could have to
discharge, viz: to re-elect the man who
had served so efficiently and faithfully
for ten years, our present President
Judge, Hon, It. W. Archbald. This was
substantially what I said, and I cer
tnlnly never said what the Times pub
lishes, and no lawyer could truthfully
make any such statements."
BITKNELL'S COSTLY WIN.
Their Foot Ball Llcvcn Defeated Colgato,
12-8, but Their Captain's Leg Was
Fractured and Dunncll Was Injured.
The Bucknell university foot ball
eleven defeated the Colgate university
team Saturday afternoon at the base
ball park by a score of 12 and 8. The
game was replete with brilliant plays
and was the most exciting seen ihls
season in Scranton. William Kauff
man, the captain and center of Buck
nell, sustained a compound fracture of
the left lower leg, and Bunnell, of the
same eleven, seriously injured his knee
In the first half.
It was the first game lost by Colgate
In four years, and she would have at
least tied the Bucknell men if Hodge,
right end, had not failed twice in at
tempting to kick goals. Colgate ex
celled in Interference but was handi
capped by the fumbles and mlsplaya
of several new men. The teams lined
up as follows:
COLGATE. POSITION. BUCKNKLl
Brlggs center KaufTman
Ford right guard .....Cober
Reynon right tackle Collins
Hodge right tackle Kokman
Pickett left end Wolf
Coleman left half back Elliott
Thomson full back Magargee
Hears, Oolwell. right half back Bunnell
Uathbone quarter Firth
From the first kltik Colgate secured
the ball and had It for nearly fifteen
minutes in Bucknell's territory, when
it was gradually worked to near the
Colgate goal line, where Bucknell made
a touchdown and Wolfe kicked the
first goal: time, twenty minutes.
Soon after the kick from center by
Colgate the accident to Kauffman oc
curred in Bucknell territory and a wait
of twenty minutes wns necessary. The
ball was never out of Bucknell territory
and after a touchdown by the left
tackle Hodge, Colgate's center, failed
to kick a goal; score, 6 to 4.
After Bucknell's kick off, the ball was
kept in Colgate's field until Wolfe made
a touchdown and kicked his second
goal; score, 12 to 4.
In the second half the ball was forced
back upon Hueknull after the kick and
Colgate secured a touchdown; 12 to 8,
The score did not change afterward,
and when time was called the ball was
in the center of the field, after having
been most of the time in Bucknell's
territory.
Kauffman is resting as comfortably
as can be expected at the Lackawanna
hospital: The bones of the lower left
leg are fractured in several places and
before the injury was dressed one of
the broken bones protruded through
the flesh.
It was a distressing accident, the
snapping of the bones being heard in
several parts of the field. The hospital
surgeons hope that Kauffman may be
removed in three weeks.
HE FRIGHTENS WOMEN.
Petersburg Night Konmer Nearly Cop
tared While at Ills Tricks.
For several weeks a man. whose
Identity is unknown, has been a great
sourceof dread to women who are com
pelled to make the lonely journey from
the street car tracks near the Moses Tay
lor hospital to Petersburg via Ash street
The unexpected appearance of Patrol
man Coleman Friday night resulted In
the capture of a man who could not be
Identified by two women who had been
insulted.
The officer was watching for lumber
thieves near some new building north
of Ash street and toward Laurel Hill
park when he heard loud screams o
frightened women. When he arrived
at Ash street he found two well known
and highly respected Petersburg w
men trembling and hysterical with
fright.
While walking up the hill they had
been suddenly confronted by a man
who acted Indecently In the pathway
ahead of them and made a contempt!
ble proposal. He ran down the hill
when the women screamed.
Patrolman Coleman made a tour of
the fields and made a prisoner of a
man who resembled the description
given by the women. Later in the even
ing they could not positively Identify
him and he was released.
DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
Or. B, II. Throop's Narrow Escape from
Serious Injury.
As Dr. B. H. Throop was driving to
the races Saturday afternoon one of
his .horses stumbled, and in falling
dragged the other horse to the ground
In their attempt to regain their feet
both animals rolled down the embank-
ment skirting the road and brought
the carriage with them. This hap-
pened a short distance from the bridge
across the river near the entrance to
the Driving park.
Fortunately Dr. Throop was not In
lured. He escaped with a few slight
bruises. The road la being filled up
with culm and this is responsible for
the accident.
SCARED THE WRONG MAN.
Patrolman Peters Turned the Tables on
Two Night Hawks.
During Saturday night while Patrol
man Peters was passing the corner of
Lafayette street and Everett avenue
two men jumped from behind a tree
and performed an embryo Indian ghost
dance In front of the startled olilcer,
After several lusty yells and wlerd
waving of arms they discovered their
Intended victim's Identity and tried leg
ball for safety.
After a merry chase of several blocks
George Skelllnger, aged 21 ydars, of
Price street, was captured. In yester
day's police court he paid $2.50 for the
ghost dance.
DHL MM REVIEWED
'resent Unrestricted System Is Not
Necessarily Permanent.
TALES OP AN OFERAT0RS' WAR
Rcllubla Information of the New York
Meeting Where Opinions Differed But
Which Ended In Harmony Lower
Prices Are Looked For.
Considerable Interest and comment
has been aroused In this city and other
coal centers by the exaggerated and
over-colored reports of the recent meet
ing of the anthracite operators In New
York. The announcements in New
York and Philadelphia papers particu
larly that a "coal war" was Impending
and that cut throat prices and blood
letting would prevail, seems to have
been occasioned by a decline of anthra
cite stocks fin Wall street and the
machinations of speculators. Certainly
the reliable Information possessed by
The Tribune of the New York meeting
does not coincide with the promised
calamity developments.
It is true that there has been a de
cided change in the purpose and policy
of the anthracite Interests. Instead of
a restricted output it has been left to
the individual option of the operators
what tonnage should be mined. No
time has been" specified during which
the new system shall prevail, but if it
proves dissatisfactory to continue the
output under the policy of unrestric
tion a change will be made. This does
not necessarily mean that the operators
will return to the old Bystem. Men
whose opinions are greatly respected
presented urgent reasons why the un-
limited policy should be tried, but if it
is not found feasible provisions may be
made for continuing along the same
line cut with modification.
The Situation Reviewed.
The anthracite interest is made up
of all the railroad companies and larger
concerns which produce nearly the en
tire output of coal. In financial circles
their organization is known as the an-
thracite pool. Until recently each com
pany by agreement was allotted a cer
tain percentage of coal to be mined.
Each month the restriction vm mnd
for the month following. The Phlla-
aeipnia and Reading received the larg
est percentage, about 21.50 per cer ,
and the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Cen-
imi uttwie secona ana third.
Recently several I1PW rnllrnnil nrtmnn.
nies were refused admission to the pool
and about the same tim iho ri
Lackawanna and Western applied for
a greater percentage allottment, claim
ing that it could sell all the coal It could
mine. By reason of its excellent ter
minal facilities In Hoboken the demand
or me Lackawanna seemed reaonable,
but there was a decided disposition on
me pari, oi otner members not to give
the Lackawanna comnanv the large
percentage it asked. Rather than sub
mit to a Bmall tonnage the Lackawanna
was among the most pronounced advo.
caies ror an "Unlimited outnut. and
rainer man maKe any nXcentaire cun
cessions several other la S producers
supported me cnange.
'ine assertions that the Nllr wna
nuieiy aue to tne Lackawanna Efforts,
that Inst week n meeting was, of
hard words and excitement, or . ,at a
fVturn to the coal auction condition of
is Imminent, are incorrect. That
tne meeting was harmonious is shown
by the agreed schedule of nrices nt
tiuewater: ngg. nut and grate. S3.G0
store, $3.75. This Is an advance of 25
cents over October prices and Is 75
cents per ton higher than at this period
last year. It Is the current opinion In
wan street ana is reported In the metro
polltan newspapers that the advance in
prices possesses no significance and that
there la no reason to believe that any of
the companies will maintain the sched
uled figures. It Is alleged that the an
thracite war is actually begun and the
producing companies will mine and sell
as much coal as they possibly can with
the result that prices will shortly be
seen at a considerably lower level.
As Viewed In New York.
The New York view of the situation
Is substantially illustrated in the fol
lowing ettract fr.im the Commercial
Advertiser:
'This state of things existing, it is
nw proper to emork that at the meet
ing of Bales agents held yesterday a
more extraordinary fiction was gotten
up for the public than has been put out
In a long time Jlcarlng In mind the
fact that there are already large stocks
of coal at many points, and that prices
are extremely unsteady, the sales
agents, with a fine sense of the rldicu
lous, announced to the public that they
had voted an increase of 25 cents and
15 cents on the May circular of prices,
which has been consistently ulsre
garded ever since it was put out
Furthermore, lest there should be any
doubt as to the enlclency of this method
of grappling with the trouble, it was
announced at the same time that the
companies would mine coal during
November up to their full capacity.
"This means one thing, and one thing
only, and that is a coal war. The ad
vance ordered in prices Is simple non
sense, as prices were not within 50
cents a ton of the May circular. The
Increase, or rather the absence of limit
of production, for November Is where
the trouble will come in. The question
nt once a-ises, what Is the meaning of
It?
It may be done with the Idea of
heading off at once any possible trouble
from Reading, and with a view of lm
pressing people In general with the
power possessed by one or two of the
Important companies, oi proaucing coai
at ruinously low prices. For years past
Lackawanna, has been trying to hide
Its profits by manipulating operating
expenses so as to Keep us aamittea
moflts as low as possible. It has spent
larce sums of money out of operating
exn?nses for the pmcnase or more coai
lands, and couia at any moment cut
Its operating expenses 10 per cent. None
of the other companies are bo favorably
situated."
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Isoao Fuller Resigns His Position in Gov
crnment Printing Office.
iBsao Fuller, a gentleman well known
In this city, has retired from the gov
ernment printing office at Washington,
where he was employed for over
twenty-five years in one of the most
exacting posltons of that Important a&
partment of the government. Prior to
accepting a government position wr.
Fuller was for years one of the best
known of the editors of inland papers
In New York state, and was a promi
nent figure In the Republican national
conventions preceding the war. About
a year ago Mr. Fuller paid a visit to
friends In this city, and was the guest
of his nephew, E. P. Kingsbury. The
Courier, of Seneca Falls, N. Y., in a re
cent issue, contained the following con
cerning Mr. Fuller:
"Isaao Fuller, the founder of the
Seneca County Courier, has returned
to Seneca Falls to live. He voluntarily
resigned his position in the public print
ing office at Washington after a service
there of twenty-five years and three
months. His reasons were that Mrs
Fuller desired to spend the remainder
of her life in Seneca Falls, the scene of
their activities. Public Printer Bene
diet, in accepting the resignation, ex
nressed the highest appreclaton of Mr,
Fuller's services, and there is no doubt
that he could have remiined os long as
ho chose Mr. nd Mrs Fuller come
to va e in 183, having then been
four years marled, so their golden an
nlversary was passed more than two
yean ago. Of the men then In business
in Seneca Falls only two are now liv

store where his son is now located, and

Mrs. Fuller, however, remained here

has been kept fresh, by frequent visits, I

MET DEATH IN A TRENCH.
Joseph Noonan Caught and Smothered by
Sand In Sewer JExcavatlou in Which
He Was Working.
Joseph Noonan, of Third street, Belle
vue, a laborer for Contractors Fergu
son & Rooney, was smothered to death
In a sewer trench on Mineral street
shortly before noon Saturday morning.
He was 25 years of age and leaves a
widow with two children.
Whe death overtook him so suddenly
he was working in the trench Bixteen

the walls of the trench had to be board
ed with planks to prevent the Bides
from falling in. The sewer trench runs
alonslde the main of the Scranton Gas
and Water company, and two of the
emDloves were testing the hydrants on
Mineral street when tne raianty toon
place. They had Just shut one of the
hydrants and it is alleged that the
strain on the main pipe after the hyd
rant had been .shut was responsible for
the bursting of the pipe. Contractor
Ferguson is quoted as saying that the
forcing back of the water causea tne
pipe to break at one of the Joints. The
break in the pipe was but a few yards
from where Noonan and a fellow work
man named McGurn stood.
Both men Baw the danger and darted
to escape to a point of Bafety. McGurn
ran toward Carbon street and got out
of danger, but Noonan, unfortunately,
took the other direction and was
caught by the falling earth and planks
that the rushing water was washing
Into the trench. He had not gone ten
feet before the quicksand engulfed him
and the breath of life was smothered
out of him.
The water company employes shut
off the water at one of the stop valves
above the broken pipe and the task of
recovering the body was undertaken,
Three hours were required to reach the
body and it was feared that darkness
would set in before the work would be
completed.
There Is a difference of opinion as to
the liability of the accident. Some de
clare that the sides of the excavation
were not properly protected and that
the caving bank fell in on the water
pipe and burst it. And then it is as
serted that the pipe burst and washed
in the sides of the trench.
The body was removed to Cuslck's
undertaking establishment and pre
pared for removal to Its late home.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been completed.
Coroner Kelly arrived and empan
elled tne following jury: p. F. O Hara,
J. J.- Burke, James A. Rellly. George
Rorlck, c E. Potter and George G.
Reed. The jury viewed the body after
It was recovered and adjourned with'
out taking any testimony until Wednes

TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Separate County and City Sessions Will
Ilegin Today Professor J. C. Taylor on
the Evening Lecture Course.
The institutes of county and city
teachers will be held simultaneously In
this city from today until Friday In
elusive. The sessions of the county
teachers will be held in the court house,
and those of the city teachers in the
Young Men's Christian Association hall
on Wyoming avenue. This will be the
first year that city and county teachers
have met separately, but thf innovation
will be beneficial for several reasons.
The sessions will not be overcrowded
as In the past and valuable time will be
saved from the fact that neither body
of teachers will be Idle while the other
is receiving Instruction peculiar to its
needs. The Monday and Wednesday
evening lectures of Professor John B,
DeMotte and Henry Watterson at the
Frothlngham are for the benefit of
both Institutes.
From 10 until 12 o'clock this morning
the county teachers will enroll at the
office of the county superintendent In
the court house. School directors will
be given tickets for the evening lectures
and upon application at the Frothlng
ham may have seats reserved. Teach
ers' tickets will not admit to lectures,
but must be exchanged at the box olllce
for admission or reserved seat tickets.
Arrangements have been made for the
enrollment of teacherB of private
schools at a nominal fee.
Seats for the general public at the
lectures have been reserved and may
be obtained at the theater beginning
at 10 o'clock this morning.
Professor J. C. Taylor has written the
following card to the public concerning
the lecture course:

Onlv two evening lectures are to be
given this year in connection with the
institute, dui we nave ian.cu cic iu nc-

Watterson Is too famous to need any
praise. Professor John B. DeMotte, a
much younger man, is not bo well

that he is a very able and eloquent
speaker. State Superintendent Schaef-
