Eadeavorcrs Kill Be Held Here.
ALLEXT0WS 0UK OPPONENT
Could Not Guarantee to Provide Sack
Aesommodatioas for tbe Delegates as
Serantoa Caa Uow News Waa
Received ia the Convention.
An honor which the entire city feels
proud of Is the appointing of Scran
ton as the place for holding the next
annual state convention of lite Chris
tian 'Endeavor union. The Electric
City, was opposed by Allentown, but
the delegates favorable to the latter
pluce could not assure the committee
on place that Allentown could offer a
suitable hall for the convention.
The supporters for Scranton con
veyed the assurance that a tent amply
large to seat the more than 6,000 dele
gates that represent the unions of the
state will bei provided. Auotlier mut
ter that the bringing of the convention
here Involves, ami It Is no small task
to properly undertake. Is the arrange
ment for the accommodation of the
delegates while they will be In this
city.
It will be necessary to seek among
more than several hundred prlvnte
families, who can urrange to entertain
from one to three of the visitors. The
hotels would be taxed to their utmost
to care for even a sinull fraction of
them. 'Realizing the magnitude of the
task that confronts them, the members
of the city union had no sooner heard
tliut the committee on place hud derid
ed In favor of Scranton and It had been
ratified by the convention, than they
went to work earnestly to map out a
plan to provide for the visitors wheti
they shall come here In isyti.
UreutCKt Uatherinc In the City.
At an early date subcommittees will
be appointed who will be intrusted
with various details, and the hotels
and private houses will bo canvassed
with a view toward securing Informa
tion as to the number of delegates
that can be accommodated, but from
the statistics laid before the commit
tee at Erie, the local committee feels
that no difficulty will be experienced.
The coming convention of Christian
Endeavorers in 1896 wtll be the largest
gathering of delegates ever assembled
In Scranton, and It means that they
will be all young church workers, rep
resenting the flower of the young re
ligious element of the state. It will
be a signal honor, and it shull be the
earnest desire of all to make the com
ing of the delegates a visit worthy of
remembrance.
The committees of Scranton and Al
lentown respectively met with the
"committee on place" at 8 o'clock Sat
urday morning in the parlors of the
Erie Young 'Men's Christian associa
tion. Scranton was heard first and
was represented by Rev. W. H. Stub
bleblne. pastor of the Calvary Re
formed church, and C. E. Daniels, both
members of the committee; S. S. Hoov
er, Upper Lehigh, vice president of the
Trl-County union, and John T. Ball,
of Honesdale. in behalf of adjoining
counties. The applications, endorse
ments and petitions were presented
and arguments made for nearly an
hour. Allentown was heard next and
the committee then went fnto secret
session for the decision.
Catholic Bishop's Kindness.
At the election of officers the Rev. J.
T. McCrary, of Pittsburg, was re-elected
to the presidency; George McDon
ald, of Altoona. secretary; H. J. Ray
more, fErle. treasurer; superintendent
of missions, the "Rev. W. S. Hinman,
Columbia: superintendent of good citi
zenship, the Rev. A. B. Phillips, Phila
delphia. The Rev. Charles Roads, of
Philadelphia, was elected vice-presl-dent.
A special train brought 500 Juni
or boys and girls from Allegheny to
joint in the parade, but they had to
content themselves by getting in under
the big tent. The resolutions passed
today contained an acknowledgment
of the kindness of Bishop Mullen, of the
Catholic diocese of Erie, for the free
use of his school grounds for the En
deavor tents.
The following Is what The Tribune's
special correspondent has to say about
the way the report was received In the
convention that Scranton had been se
lected by the committee:
"At 11 o'clock Saturday morning,
when the report was about to be made,
rain began to fall gently, and when the
announcement that Scranton was vic
torious was made the shower Increased
In force so that little could be heard
In the tent. The scene was described
by the Erie Herald In these words:
The announcement was the signal for
an awful tumult. Scranton on one side
of the tent started their rallying song
and In addition the unearthly yell
which they have adopted was sent Into
the air and there was a perfect con
glomeration of sounds, cheers, yells and
songs.' The leaders of the rival forces
mounted a table and with clasped
hands sang: 'Blest He the Tie That
Binds,' amid tumultous applause.
Are Homeward Hound.
The Scranton delegation leaves here
tomorrow morning and will stop at
Niagara Falls during the day, leaving
Buffalo at 10 o'clock 'Monday night and
reaching Scranton at 6 o'clock Tues
day morning."
WILL STAMP OUT THE LIE,
Aa Action In Trespass Begoa bv Deputy
Warden Thoiaas J, Price.
An action in trespass to recover
$1,000 damages for slanderous words
spoken was begun 'Saturday by Attor
ney 'H. C. Reynolds for Thomas J.
Price, deputy warden of county jail,
against John Thomas. It Is charged
that Thomas while in the county jail
last March said to Oscar U. Khr
good, another prisoner, that "Thomas
l'rlce had been arrested for stealing $10
from a man he was shaving, while a
barber with a shop at North Main ave
nue." The basis of the rumor Is that a man
bearing Mr. Prlce'a name, who oper
ated a barber shop at (Patagonia and
ran It for two weeks, was arrested on
this charge. The story appeared in the
paper that Thomas 'Price, a barber of
the West Side, roblx-d a man whom ho
was shaving. lAt that time Warden
Price had been out of the shaving busi
ness three years.
Mr. Price published a card in the pa
pers at the time, explaining that he
was not the man who was implicated
In the theft. Another Thomas Price, of
the West Side, published a similar card
at the time. The stranger who dis
graced the name took himself away,
but left his fame behind.
Mr. Price Is determined to stamp out
the lie. -

years, made a desperate attempt to

who, however, failed to reach her
again.

the knife still In his possession, was ar

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NATTER
That Will Be Decided at the Next Meetiag
of the Vaioa Is la Refereaoe to Coa
daetors Who Uave Been Dis
charged for KaooMag Down.
Among the motormen and conductors
of the Scranton Traction company a
sporadic feeling of disquietude exists
that does not threaten any serious harm
to anybody, but the employes are a lit
tle excited nevertheless. Almost every
miitorninn and conductor la a member
of the labor union, which holds meet
ings bi-monthly In Kaub's hall on Wy
oming avenue.
The union belongs to the Knights of
Labor and goes by the title of 4'onduc
tors and Motorinen's assembly, No. 2320.
Isaac Robinson hi president or master
workman, and Alex. McTuggart Is the
secretary. A meeting was to have been
held last Saturday night at midnight
after all the workmen were through
work, but a quorum did not materialize.
The prime object of the meeting was
to take action relating to the with
drawal from the Knights of Labor and
turning over with the American Federa
tion of Labor. Some still cling to the
affection for the Knights of Labor and
are loath to sever from it. The reason
Is the same for the feeling against the
knights by the street car men as other
organizations have complained of In
the past; namely, taxation without rep
resentation, the principle for which the
revolutionary forefathers bled and
fought on the battlelleld.
Tbeir Delegates Had No Voice.
The men who were sent out to repre
sent the assembly In the national con
vention were denied a voice or vote In
the proceedings because the powers
that be felt aa though the Scranton
delegates would be Inimical and en
deavor to do something In the conven
tion which would run counter to the
wishes of the leaders, all on account of
the iatter's unfriendliness toward At
torney T. V. l'owderly, ex-general mus
ter workmun of the order.
Although the delegates from any of
the Scranton assemblies were not en
titled to any consideration, yet the as
semblies were usked to pay per capita
tax and this they refused to do. The
next step taken by some of them was
to secede from the order and Join the
Federation of Labor. This Is the ac
tion now contemplated by the street
car men's union.
Home of the employes In conversation
with a Tribune reporter yesterday ex
pressed themselves as confident that
the assembly at the next meeting will
join hands and forces with the Federa
tion. There is another matter that Is en
grossing the attention of the men be
sides the change of paternalism. It
appears that well-trained corps of
what the town parlance would call
"spotters" Is In the employ of the Trac
tion company and so well and faithful
do they do their work that every now
and then a conductor is let go from the
service. Theemploye may have been de
tected in the act of "knocking down"
a fare, and if, perchance, a spotter Is on
the car, that Is the end of the conduc
tor's tenure of office.
He Is a Marked Maa.
He Is not discharged the next day or
perhaps for a week, but a strict watch
Is kept on his actions after he has been
discovered to be dishonest. He Is soon
nfter let go because he may not have
been careful In handling passengers, or
he may have been emanating from a
saloon while on duty.
Within the past month several con
ductors have been let go by the super
intendent, and they have succeeded In
Interesting about one-fifth of the mem
bers of the union In their cause. They
want the union to take up their griev
ance and by presenting a solid front to
the company, compel the latter to rein
tate the discharged ones.
The majority of the street car men
have no sympathy with those who lose
their Jobs because they haven't got
the disposition to pull the bel rope every
time a fare Is collected. The next
meeting of the union may see the sub
ject brought up. It will be held on
Saturday night. Sept. 7, and will be
awaited with Interest.
REINS WERE CROSSED.
That Was the Rcssoa an F.lectrlo Car
Struck Mrs. Smith's Csrrlaco.
Mrs. Peter Smith, of Oak Hill, while
driving through .Mlnooka on Saturday
met with an accident by reason of 1icr
carriage being struck by an electric
car. Fortunately she was only slightly
injured.
The car was In charge of Motorman
O'Donnell and Conductor Messett. (Mrs.

tance ahead, where the roadway Is very
narrow. The gong was sounded and
Mrs. iSmlth attempted to turn out of
the way, but the reins being crossed she
went over the track directly In front

A young man about, town of Italian
parentage, 23 or 23 years of age, has
been traveling about the country under
the alias William De Vera, manager of
the Roma hotel, Scranton. He is short
In stature and face badly fox-marked.

assumed charge of the hotel.
During this period William De Vera
boarded and lodged at the Itumu and on

His movements were watched closely,
because Mr. t'assese hud missed $200
or more from his exchequer.
For several duys he wus registered
at the Anthracite hotel of Carbendule,
afterward he made u brief stay at
Wllkes-dJarre, and then Journeyed to
New York and lastly Philadelphia.
A decoy telegram purporting to come
from an Intimate friend was sent to
De Vera, urging him to come to Scran
ton on Important business. He came
yesterday und fell into the hands of Jo
seph Cassese, who Immediately pro
ceeded to execute the clever bit of de
tective work he had engaged In by
bringing hlH prisoner before Chief
Simpson at 9 o'clock lant evening and
making complaint.
A satchel containing some new
clothes and other articles was taken
from him and also $1Xh which was
found In his pockets. He refused to
tell how he came Into possession of the
money or clothes and was very reticent
about converging on the matter at all.
DESS1NU DECLARED INSANE.
Takea to the Hillside Home by Order of
Physicians.
August Desslng. the well-known
South Side citizen who became violent
ly Insane Friday and hud to be tuken
In charge by police, wus exumlned by
physicians Saturday,
They found that he was Insane and
thereupon he was committed to the In
sane department of the Hillside Home.
It Is thought that he will recover
his reason.
GATHERED HERE AND THERE.
Last Saturday evening a limb of the law
who Is temporarily engaged in business
in 'this city, wandered unu the, target
shooting guilery on Penn avenue to try
his hand at crack.ng the bull's eye w.lh
the small rifles used in the gallery. De
siring some incentive to make the pleas
ure interesting, the lawyur, who, by the
way, an excellent shot. Invited a. quiet
looking man standing near the counter to
Join li.m In a match. The qu.ot man readily
consented and the fun commenced. The
lawyer at the start Hied rather carelessly
Just to give his opponent a show, and h.s
score wus beaten. He then began to real
ize that he would be obliged to use more
care. His Improved record was outdis
tanced by the quiet man. The lawyer be
gan 'to get feverish and anxious, but his
best shots were always beaten by the
quiet man who easily defeated every score
made. After trying in vain to make a
score that would equaJ the shots of the
quiet stranger, the lawyer finally threw
down Ihls gun in dlrgust and left the place
hurriedly. As no questions were asked it
Is probable that the legal marksman does
not know today, unless his eye falls upon
this item, that his quiet opponent In the
shooting match was Private W. W.
Youngs, the champion shut ef the state
rifle teams.
Today the rifle team of the Thirteenth
regiment will go to Mt. Gretna to compete
In the state mutches with teams from all
of the regiments of the etate. Tomorrow
and Wednesday will be devoted to prac
tice shooting and on Thursday the con
tests will begin. From the best marks
men In the state, as shown by the records
made In these matches, a team wtll be
made 'up to shoot In the Interstate matches
at Sea Girt, N. J. The men who will go
to Mt. Gretna today to represent the
Thirteenth are: Sergeants VVatklns and
Cullen and Privates Youngs, Stout and
Jurisch. The team will be in charge of
Lieutenant Frank Robllng, who Is tem
porary Inspector of rifle practice.
Ernest Albert, the scenic artist, who Is
doing the scenery for "The Wizard of
the Nile," snys that this opera requires
a more careful work than any contract he
has ever undertaken simply because the
Egyptian subject offers such an opportun
ity for effective coloring, and Mr. Albert
is determined that there shall be no "ar
tistic Incongruities." at least aa far as the
scenory Is concerned.
