Dr. Richard H. Gibbons, the surgeon
attending Carl W. "McKinney. general
manager of trie Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company, last nigh denied the
rumor that hlB patient had on Saturday
suffered a relapse in Atlantic City,
where he was taken to convalesce.
In view of Mr. McKinney' promin
ence In business circles and because of
his responsible position in one of the
largest manufacturing concerns in the
state, a Tribune reporter last night
sought an Interview with Dr. Gibbon.
He declined to discuss the case until
told of the rumors and Impression
which probably originated from a state
ment in the Sunday papers to the effect
that on his return to Scranton Satur
day night he had been called back to
AUantlo City owing to a change for the
worse in Mr. McKinney" condition. Dr.
Gibbons said:
Aa Emphatlo Denial.
"The report is erroneous; I received
no notification to return to Atlantic
City, and any rumor indicating any
thing unfavorable in Mr. McKlnney's
case is untrue. He bore his trip to the
seashore very well, and after the
fatigue to be expected from so long a
journey had worn off, was somewhat
Improved. When I left him Saturday I
felt that he was decidedly better.
"Mr. McKinney Is under the care of
Dr. Edwards, of Atlantic City, during
my absence from Mm, but I expect to
go to him Tuesday and as often there
after as I may be permitted by my
Scranton practice.
'We has been a very eick man, and
is now for that matter, but that isn't
surprising when Is considered the fact
that tie had to submit to three opera
tions for the removal of fluid from his
lungs. i
May Resume Ills Old Duties.
"The Indications for his complete re
covery are favorable, and unless some
thing unforseen occurs, be may be able
in a few months to resume his old
duties as general manager of the steel
oompany. He has the best of nursing,
and we expect that the bracing air of
the -sea will do much to restore the
vitality consumed by his sickness and
the operations.
"Indeed, his case Is hopeful and en
couraging," was Dr. Gibbon's final
statement.
PROF. CARTER'S DEPARTURE.
Fine Musloal Programme Given at th
Elm Park Church.
A most excellent musical programme
was given at the Elm Park church yes
terday under tlje direction of Professor
George B. Carter, whose engagement as
organist terminated with last night'-
service. The quartette consisted of
Miss Wlrmlfred Sullivan, Miss Elsie
Vandervoort, New York; Alfred Wool
lr and Mr. Thomas.
Miss Vandervoort filled a special en
gagement there yesterday, and her
singing created a decided sensation,
such a voice having rarely been heard
in church work in this city. She Is one
of George Sweet's best pupils, and fully
sustained the high reputation of this
great teacher. She (has a large com
pass and a voice of rich, rare quality,
which she handles with the skill of an
artist. The quartette was well bal
anced and the muslo was of the highest
order.
Last evening Mr. Carter played Mie
William Tell overture for the opening
selections, and it was given with the
teste and skill of a master. Miss Sulli
van and Miss Vandervoort sung, as a
duet, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," and
MIfs Vandervoort sung "The Palms,"
both numbers being excellently given.
The service was greatly enjoyed by a
very large congregation.
Professor Carter left last night on the
midnight train for El mini, where he
has been engaged as the organist of the
Beecl:cr church.
AN UNUSUAL ARREST.
Cltlien Refuse to Assist an Offteer and
Is Arrested.
Patrolman Marker had notorrlou
Mary Qulnnan under arrest early yes
terday morning on Jackson street, and
as she resisted and fought him, he
asked a spectator, William Shulby, to
go to the station house and get assist
ance. Shulby refused to assist, so when the
Qulnnan woman was attended to, the
officer turned his attention to Shulby,
and soon ho occupied a cell adjoining
the first prisoner, charged with re
fusing to assist an officer in preserving
the peace. . .
Mayor Connell gave htm a hearing
yesterday, but as he denied some of the
charges he was held for a further hear
ing this morning, when the officer will
appear against hhn. Seldom It ever has
an arrest of this kind been made, and
consequently the outcome Is watched
with Interest, particularly by the po
licemen. !)
AT NAY AUG PARK.
Two Thousand Persons Llstea to Songs
snd Speeehes.
Another Immense congregation, esti
mated at 2,000 persons, assembled In
front and around the Toung Men's
Christian association platform at Way
Aug park yesterday afternoon and lis
tened with close attention to the songs
of the Glee club and the talk of Super
intendent Sanborn, of the Rescue Mis
sion.
These meeting are undoubtedly doing
great good and the Interest seems to
be growing. Yesterday the refreshment
stand, which is located close to the
place where the meeting 1s held, was
opened for the first time for Sunday
sale, and the general sentiment was
that there could not be any possible ob
jection to the sale of coffee and sand'
wlchea It Is the park's only hotel and
that the needs of the people ought to
be supplied in this line was admitted
on all sides.

Coroner J. A. Kelley on the body of
Mrs. saraa Stuart, of the North End,
whose death was repotted to have been
due to violence. - The coroner examined
the heart, which was In such a debili
tated condition that no doubt was left
aa totheeauseofher death, -
Witnesses were examined bnt nothing
to sustain the belief that she died from
other than natural causes was gleaned.
A verdict was rendered by the Jury to
the effect that the deceased came to

MAYOR TAKES A HAND.
Satarday Was Movlag Day for the Crys
tal Hose Compaay-City Executive
Takes Deelstv Actio..
It arrears that whatever furniture
and furnishings had been put In the
quarters of the Crystal Hose company,'
on Linden street, were purchased by
th members personally. They nave
sought reimbursement from the city,
and to that end Common t-'ouncuman
Robert Robinson introduced an ordin
ance not very long ago, providing for
the purchase by the city of the prop
erty in the Crystal engine house from
the company.
The measure was killed ana mis
caused the Crystals to take offense.
The thing came to a head on Saturday
afternoon, when draymen pulled up to
the Crystal house door to move every
thing but the engine, hose carriage ana
white team. Bunks, desks, carpets,
door BDrlnsB. chandeliers, sliding poles.
chairs, etc., were bundled up first-oN
April-like and got ready for hauling
off.
Chief of Police Simpson took a stroll
around to see the farce-comedy, and
went to Mayor Connell with the news.
His honor lost no time in getting
around and the curtain was about ris
ing on the last act; not all of the prop
erty was got out. Mayor Connell took
In the situation at a glance, and In lan
guage not very poetic but unmistak
ably emphatic, ordered the Crystals to
bundle the rest of their baggage and
get out.
The two permanent men, John Lilly
and Isaao Tlce, had not whereon to lay
their heads when the night came, but
Chief Engineer H. F. Ferber sent a
bed for them to sleep on. The action
of the company will soarcoly cause the
councils to break their necks to help
the Crystals hereafter, and, maybe, it
might end In the total dlruptlon of the
oompany and the formation of a new
one.
NEW COAL SCHEME.
How Coal Will Be Pumped from I'ader
th Water.
In the coal notes of the Record ap
pears the following account of a new
form of securing coal:
From Ptttston to Northumberland the
bed of the river is lined with coal, rang
ing from three to elgfrt feet thick, under
an average depth of water of about
eight feet. This coal Is made up chiefly
of the culm washed from the breakers
and contains all grades known to the
market, although consisting mostly of
the finer sorts. The wash of the river
cleanses it of all dirt and refuse, and
when taken out of the river It makes
an excellent grade of fuel. A great
many people have been engaged In
shoveling It out, and as high as $2 and
$3 a day have been .made at this em
ployment. Arthur Squler, of Tunkhannock, has
been observing this matter for some
time, and has recently been experi
menting on a method of raising this
coal In places where the water is too
deep to shovel It out profitably by
means of centrifugal pumps, and as a
result of his experiments a business
which he believes will be a profitable
one Is about starting. Mr. Squler has
formed a partnership with J. F. Broad
bent, of Sorarrton, and the firm has had
built a large engine suitable for the
purpose of running the pumps and
carrying on the business of raising the
coal from the river bed, and an appar
atus Is also arranged for screening the
coal as It is passed Into canal boats.
The plant will be established near
Northumberland, and all sizes of coal
will be shipped by the firm from there.
The smaller sizes of this river coal find
ready market at from tl.GO to $2.50 per
ton, and contracts "have already been
made wfth parties In Harrisburg and
other places for large shipments. The
plant will require an Investment of
from $1,00 to $2,000. Mr. Squler is quite
a genius In looking up unexpected
things, and has already had patented
several devices, some of whloh he has
sold for several thousands of dollars.
He seems to have a good deal of faith
In the success of this last venture.
CASE OF BARBER'S ITCn.
North End Folk Thought th Pelsader
Had Small Pox.
Near the Providence Methodist Epis
copal church a Polander occupies a
tenement, and he became affected re
cently with a malignant case of "bar
ber's itch." The report got out that he
had small pox, and it caused wide
spread sensation among the residents
of the' North End.
Health Officer W. E. Allen went up
Saturday to examine the Infected Po
lander. Dr. Allen found it to be noth
ing more serious to the community at
large than a prime case of barber's Itch.

Oat of 89 Delegate. S9 Will Veto for
Blas-WUlaid-Uastlagtr- Mea Scored
Notable Victories la Taylor
and the Bclieva Aaeex.
'Lackawanna county will send a solid
Willard-Hastlugs delegation to the
state convention at Harrisburg on
Aug. 28.
Prior to Saturday the voters of the
First, Second and Fourth (Legislative
districts bad registered their prefer
ence by an overwhelming majority, and
It remained for the Third district to
follow the example set, which It did In
grand style by a victory as sweeping
as had been recorded In the sister dis
tricts. The primaries were held Saturday
between the hours of 4 and T p. m-;
there were fifty-nine delegates to be
elected, and upwards of thirty-nine
went against Quay. Attorney James
E. WeAklns, of Taylor, reading clerk
of the house of representatives, will be
chosen as state delegate at the conven
tion at the court house next Tuesday
afternoon. R. Willis Reese, of Old
Forge, is the Quay candidate. One
delegate Is all that will be elected from
the Third.
Quay Behind in Populous Districts.
The district consist of the following:
Benton, Clifton, Covington, Dalton,
Glenburn, Gouldsboro, Greenfield,
Lackawanna, La Plume, Lehigh, Madi
son, Newton, North Ablngton, Old
Forge, Ransom, Scott, Scranton, Sixth
ward, Third dlatrlot, "Spring Brook,
South Ablngton, Taylor, Waverly and
West Ablngton. The Willard-Hasttngs
delegates captured -the populous dis
tricts. Returns were slow to arrive, but the
following summary shows very closely
the result. The districts that went
against Quay and the number of dele
gates elected in each is as follows:
Benton, 2; Clifton, 1; Dalton, 2; Glen
burn, 1; Gouldsboro, 1; Greenfield, 2;
Lackawanna, West district, 1; East dis
trict, 1; Northeast district, 2; Madison,
2; Newton, 2; North Ablngton, 2; Old
Forge, Fourth district, 2; Ransom, 1;
Scranton, Sixth ward, Third district, 4;
Taylor, First ward, 1; Second ward, 2;
Third ward, S; Fourth ward, 2; West
Ablngton, 1 total, 39.
For Quay Covington, 2; Lackawan
na, South district, 1; Southwest dis
trict, 1; West district, Moosic, 2; La
Plume, 1; Lehigh, 1; Old Forge, First
district, S; Second district, 1; Scott, 4;
Taylor, First ward, 1; Fifth ward, 1;
Waverly 2 total, 20.
There is not likely to be much of a
change In these figures. The result In
Moosic was so close that two delegates
on the first count received a tie vote.
A recount was made and the Quay dele
gate was beaten by six votes. In the
South district of Lackawanna town
ship, at Mlnooka, the victory i
claimed by a Quay delegate, but th
Wlllard-Haatings delegate also claims
the victory.
Tsylor Stsnds Firm.
A feature of the contest was the
plendld showing made in Taylor,
where the Quay forces were routed
and secured but two out of the ten
delegates.
Messrs. Williams, Dagger, Jones and
Pry received a flattering majority In
the Bellevue district, so great, Indeed,
that the opposition was but meague
toward the close. One man, who con
tributed toward the result Is Robert
Owen, of Rowland avenue. The Quay
delegates were at first tied, by the Quay
men, with E. N. Willard. But Mr.
Owen, seeing the Inconsistency of the
hitch and the utter Impossibility to
harness Quay and Willard in the fight,
assembled a hundred voters, and, in a
telling speech, routed the false doc
trine. The result was that the many
who had allied themselves to the Qauy
Willard fiasco, voted for Hastings and
Willard. Another feature of the Belle
vue primaries Is the large poll. Of a
possible 230 votes 211 were polled.
The delegates who will represent
-Lackawanna county are: First dis
trict, B. B. Atherton, of Providence,
and Thoma W. Phillips, of the West
Side; Second district. Colonel Eira H.
Ripple and City Controller F. J. Wld
mayer; Third district, James E. Wat
kins, of Taylor; Fourth district,- John
H. Thomas, of Carbondale, and James
Young, of unmore.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
flTnder this heading; short letter ef In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible lor opinion here expressed.)
AN OPINION FROM WAYNE.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The people In Wayne as well as
Lackawanna county rejoice to note that
public sentiment is for the administration
throughout the state. The people will
stand loyally by their governor as they
did by President Garfield when the senator
from New York persisted in his demand
to distribute federal patronage, which was
unconstitutional. The people of Pennsyl
vania have Implicit faith In Governor
Hastings, they believe him honest and
true m hi devotion to the right, ever
ready to sacrifice self as he did in 1890.
If Senator Quay had more of the self-
sacrificing spirit and less of the dictatorial
bosslsm we never would have been humil
iated by this family contention.
I have just received a pertinent Inquiry
from a friend wanting to know which of
the faction Is the Republican party. He
feels most friendly toward Gllkeson, and
is therefore inclined to think the admin
istration side Is the Republican party and
says he looks upon the Quay followers as
rebels. In my reply I used the argument
that was used by President Lincoln ia re-
gard to the southern states when he was
asked If they were in the union, vis., that
the question has not been, nor yet Is, a
practically material one, and that any
discussion of It could have no other effect
than the mischievous one of dividing our
friends..
' We nearly all agree that the senator

THE PRIVATE SALE OF
G.W. FREEMAN'S STOCK OF JEWELRY
Cris-a-erses. Eta. Y.1Q Ccn!ina for Wtck.
Immonco Bargalno
10 BAITS
We have never thought favorably of
the Idea of advertising two or three ar
ticle cheap, simply to draw trade. Our
plan Is, and alwsys has been, to make
the price on every thing In stock Just
as low as it can possibly be made.
Goods that usually pay all the profit of
a store, such as Teas. Coffees, Spices,
Confectionery, Cigars, etc., we sell on
almost as close a margin as Sugar,
Flour, Butter, Hams, etc., are usually
sold, and we have found by adopting
this plan that we are selling more Teas,
Coffees and Cigars In proportion than
we are of other goods. We have a
great many people come to us for both
Teas, Coffees and Cigars that buy noth
ing else from us simply because they
get strictly first-class goods In these
lines from us. at much lower rates than
they are accustomed to paying. All our
Tea Is bought direct from the Importer,
and often before it has reached these
shores. We have been unceasing In our
efforts to offer the best value for the
money In Tlas, Coffees and Cigars tor
years, and our sales in each of these
lines shows that our endeavors have
been appreciated by the public Our
prices on Spices, Soaps, Starches,
Matches, Salt, Rice, Canned Goods and
Dried Frluts, and. In fact, all the class
of every day goods is Invariably below
competition. Our service In the Store Is
now good and pur delivery first-class.
If you cannot come, send your order by
mall or telephone. Satisfaction in
every respect is guaranteed.
