Met in Sections In the Morning,
The morning session yesterday was,
as on the day previous, In two sections.
Tha primary and Intermediate teaohers
remained In court room No. 1 and the
principals adjourned to 'No. 2 room.
Mtes .Margaret McCloskey took up her
talk on numbers and gave an interest
ing 'blackboard cxereUe. She is very
popular (Willi tho teachers and her
talks are very Instructive, for she has
an aptitude of making .her hearers
reaU'Ily understand her meaning, and
this with a charming flow of language
conVblnos to make her lectures most
entertaining;.
Professor Twltwyer addressed the
primary teachers on their opportuni
ties. Sixty per cent, of the boys and
girls of the country leave school at 10
years of age and go to the workshop.
Their narrow sphere In the school
room come under the training and dis
cipline of the primary teacher. He ar
dently maintained that only men and
women of the clearest wisdom and ripe
experience should be allowed to enter
upon the work of a primary teacher.
MIfs MclClosfcy followed With a bright
talk on resisting. Three classes of read
era, he said, tre to 'be found among
the American people; those who read
vapid or.i sentimental literature; those
who read because It is fashionable to be
well posicd on the newest book this
cla'FS would 'be more deeply chagrined
If It became known they had not read

is that whose members can read good
books with pleasure ami profit
Teachers in n Degree Responsible.
She raid the American people are be
hind the Germami, Italians and French
In literature. The teachers are In a
certain degree responsible for this state
of affairs and It la Incumbent on them
to do something- speedily to bring about
a change In this condition.
Dr. Gordy ppoke on 'psychology. He
believes that all teachers Ehould study
this subject thoroughly. Attention Is
the cnaln thins In the school room.
When the teacher succeeds In riveting
the minds of the children on any sub
ject he has accomplished all that Is
nceersary; the unl-hd of the child will
do the rest.
The principals' section In the other
court room was .presided over by SI.
V. Cumrvminss, of Olyphant. Professor
William Tagffart read a paper on dis
cipline. Mr. Tajrgart Is not In favor
of corporal ipunflshment, and termed It
a relic of 'barbarism. Rewards and
punishment. ehould be given only when
they are richly deserved. Superin
tendents John J. Forbes, of Carbon

of Dl.cfcaon, discussed the question of
discipline pro and con. Proifesaor Twlt
myer spoke to them on recitation.
There imust he one to speak and one
to listen. The former must possess the
ablillty to retain the attention of the
hearer, who must be In a teachable
spirit.
' At tho Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session was opened
with music and George B. P. Bible,
prlnc'oal of East StroudE'burg State
Normal rehool, was Introduced by Mr.
Taykxr. iHe re-echosd the sentiments

In favor of the fads that have sprung
up; the best evidence of the transient
character of the fad Is Its passing
away a.fter a certain time. The first
lecturer -was Professor Twl tmyer on the
subject. "Development of Civic Vir
tues In the Ppuibllc Sahools."
Man Is a gregarlou.i animal, that is,
he does not like to live alone. There
was a man once who lived alone, but
God saw It was not good for him to
be thus tso.ta.tcd, and sent him a com
panion. This man had no one to ask
him where he had 'been all day, when
he oaime heme in the evening; he had
not the experiences that many men
undergro, yet he, was not content.
The speaker went from this phase of
moralizatlon to the responsibilities
that ree-t -upon teachers In training the
pupils. Order Is one of the essential
principles In the school room. Study
must tie natural, that Is the head, heart
and hands chould work In harmony.

class room, begets profligacy In later
life. Pupils imust Ibe loyal to principles
and In. later life they will be seekers
after truth Instead of shysters, and

Dr. Gordy spoke on the character and
life of John C. Calhoun. This man.
said he, was another Alexander Hamil

Calhoun when he espoused the cause of

Dr. Philips found the school he spoke
of In his lecture at Qulncy, Mass., the

command scrupulously.
AN EXCITING RIXAVAY.
Frank llannls and E. J. Roodwln Thrown
from a Carriage on Washington
Avenue, bnt Fortunately Escaped With
out Injury.
That good horsemen are not lmmuned
against runaways nowadays was shown
yesterday morning. Frank Hannis
and E. J. Goodwin, respectively, In the
front rank of professional ana gentle
men drivers of this city, had a miracu
lous escano from serious accldtnt and
furnlnhed no little excitement for pe
destrians and drivers on Washington
avenue.
The runaway horses were a newly
matched pair which had but a few mo
ments before been hitched together for
trial. The horse that caused the trouble
belonged to a dealer who keeps his
stock in Cuslck'B livery. It's mate was
owned by Mr. Goodwin and was hitched
with the other with the prospect of a
sale to the dealer.
Mr. Hannis held the reins and on his
left Mr. Goodwin was seated when they
left Ousick's stable on Washington ave
nue. The pair drove quietly to Vine
street, where Mr. Hannis turned the
team and headed them toward the
stables. At this point the dealer's horse
plunged forward carrying his quiet
mate with him and when Mulberry
street was reached were going on a
dead run. notwithstanding all the wiles
and strength of so good a driver as
Mr. Hannis.
Tho Speed Was Terrific.
The speed was terrific. Each occu
pant of the buggy knew it was suicidal
to jump. Mr. Hannis realizing the fu
tility of trying to stop the maddened
pair unaided asked Mr. Goodwin to aid
him. The two sawed and tugged at
the reins to no avail. The horses
seemed only to go the faster, and when
passing The Tribune building were fly
ing at race track speed.
Fortunately the avenue was not
crowded with vehicles, but In going
over the Linden street car tracks the
forward axle broke near the laft wheel.
Mr. Goodwin tried to remain in the
bufrgy, but the lurching of his compan
ion crowded him out and he was rolled
and slid about forty feet on the smooth
asphalt pave, landing near the curb
stone. Meanwhile the speed of the
crazed horses was unslackened and Mr.
Hannis made a forced exit from the
buggy In much the same fashion as did
Mr. Goodwin. Neither sustained a cut
or bruise.
Ono Horse Badly Injured.
The team collided with a dray at the
corner of Spruce street and came to a
halt on the sidewalk of the new Mears
building between two piles of bricks.
The pole snapped and was forced into
the chest of the dealer's horse Injuring
him so badly that he may not live.
Mr. Goodwin's horse was uninjured and
on being driven later In the day gave
no sign of having remembered the run
away. Persons who witnessed the runaway
and the lightning speed of the horsea
orvpied how the occupants of the
buggy escaped with their lives.
DANCED IN HIS HONOR.
Pitcher Mnllarkoy. of tho Washington
Club. Given a Party.
Jdhn E. iMullarkey, the well-known
pitcher of the Washington National
league club, who la at present a guest
of his cousin, John Mullarkey, of this
city, was tendered a dancing party at
Excelsior hall, Tuesday evening. A very
large assemiblage was present to meet
the guest of the evening, and they en
Joyed a delightful evening. The grand
march was led by John E. Mullarkey
and his cousin, Miss Anna Mullarkey.
It was participated in by 100 couples.

Given at Their Hall on Seventh Street
tast Evening.
The active members of the Scranton

of exhibitions at their hall on Seventh
street last evening In the presence or
the older members and their families

identified with the organization. Music
was furnished by Guth's orchestra and
Professor Saft.
At 9 o'clock the exercises began With
an exhibition by the junior clas rang
ing fram 8 to 12 years of age. The work
of the boys elicited much applause. An
exhibition on the parallel bars by the
active turners was the next feature and
it showed that those who took part In
it were skilled In that branch of gym
nastics. Calisthenics by a class of girls rang
ing from 9 to 18 years was an Interest
ing feature. Others were the high
lumping and wrestling. The exhibition

HE OLE SUPERSEDED
Electricity as Underground Motive
Tower Is a Success.
TEST MADE IX BELlEVt E SHAPT
Motor Weighing Nino Tons Can Haul
Twenty Cars a Mile in Four Minutes-It
Works" on tho Pria- .
ciplo of tho Trolley,
Electricity as a motive power In the
coal mines was demonstrated to be a
success, by the 'introduction of a motor
in the Bellevuc shal: of the Delaware,
Lackawanna ar.'i Western. This mo
tor was -tested Monday and Tuesday,
and it provt l yesterday to 'be able no
only to supplant the patient mule, but
also to be capable of accomplishing
quicker, more i-iulsfactery all around
and much more work than the long
eared animal, all at lcs3 expense.
The motor in the.Bellevue mine is but
three feet 'In a'.tltud?, and (t extends
six Inches on each side beyond the raila
of the 3-foot track. lis length Is twelve
feet. The weight of It is about nine
tons. It runs on -the fame principle in
volved In the operation of the trolley
car. There are the overhead wires, fas
tened to the .roc-f iby means of wedges,
the trolley pole, controlling handles and
brakes. A motcrman has a perch of his
own, and lis master of the situation with
two 25-horse power motors at his com
mand. A large headlight throws Its
rays Into '.ihe darknets.
Themachltie was -built at the shops of
the General Electric company of Schen
ectady, iN. Y.. and Is -the first one to
prove successful, it is said. Not that
the sye-tem la del'ecvive, or anything like
that, 'but wherever these machines have
been Introduced seme hitch or another
appears to have attended the test, ne
cessitating a reshlpplng of them back
to the factory for overhauling.
How It Was Got Down the Shaft.
In lowering the motor to the bottom
of thec'haft the hoisting carriage had to
be taken out altogether and the motor
was attached to the rope Itself. It was
then let down slowly and carefully.
There were no marring incidents met
with. The work was accomplished un
der the supervision of Inside Foreman
John Hale. Outside Foreman Bert
Green, sr., and Assistant Foreman Bert
Green, Jr.
The motor, or "dinkey," as the dusky
diamond diggers call It, does Its work
similar to the engine on the steam
road. It hauls cars after It along the
gangways, and this one machine will do
away with !ght mules. The rails on
which It runs weigh forty pounds to the
yard, they are of Iron and are set in
the regular 3-foot guage.
It operates between the foot of the
shaft and the Innermost passing
branch of the main gangway. It hauled
twenty loa-dtd -cars on Monday a half
mile In two m'inutes, and has a s-pec-d
of twenty miles an ihour on an average.
It will be necessary to .press the mule
Into service yet awhile to drag the
empty cars up the chambers to the min
ers, until a machine Is invented that
will do away with that, too.
Persons acquainted with the survey
of a mine .working and the manner in
which coal is hauled to the foot of the
shaft will readily perceive that It Is
not an ImpcrasJblllty to get a similar
motor for chamber work, so that tho
stubborn nn!.mal as a factor in coal
mining will be a relic of bygone days
before the close of the nineteenth cen
tury, Powor Generated Outside.
Alongside the hoisting engine house
at the mouth of the shaft a small dy
namo room has been erected for the
purpose of generating current. It has
a capacity of 250 horsepower; the en
gine wheels make 2.'0 revolutions every
minute and the generator goes around
6M times every sixty seconds. In addi
tion to furnlshln.? current for the jno
tor,' a pump for evacuating the mine of
its surplus water will be run by It,
and a switchboard will be fed that will
give current to llumlnate the breaker,
engine houses, offices, iblacksmith shop,
and all other appurtenances of the col
liery. The hoisting capacity of the shaft Is
ninety cars an hour, and if the new
motor falls to haul cars to the foot of
the shaft with regularity sufficient to
comply with this demand, another mo
tor will be got.
The miners, laborers, and, In fact,
everyone about the mines, are amazed
at the euccepi of the now mnchlne.
This Is hut the first step In the di
rection of harnessing electricity for
motive power underground, and the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company lnteds to Introduce It In all
Its mines.
THERE WAS NO CONFERENCE.
Roeso G. Brooks Denies the Published
S'orics About tho Pntisville Meetings
Reese G. Brooks and D. M. and T. H.
Jones, who were reported as being
among the Scranton men present at a
meeting of ee-al operators in Pottsvllle
Monday, -say there Is little truth In t'he
published stories of the gathering. To
a Tribune reporter .Mr. Brooks said yes
terday: "T'he two Mr. Jones and I went to
Pottsvllle .Monday tolely to look after
our Interests in that region. On our
arrival we found 'that a number of sales
agents from Philadelphia were in the
town, and, as Is often the case, a large
number of coal men, who, like our
selves, have property In that region, but
who live -in otlher cities. We met and
talktU- with many of them during the
day and evening, but to my knowledge
there was no meeting, nor do I believe
the coal men congregated there for any
euch purpose."
Mr. Brooks pronounced the story pu'b
llf hed In Tuesday's Pottsvllle Ollner's
Journal as a canard, and said the fol
lowing excerpt from the article Is a
fabrication:
What the Journal Said.
"While no Inside Information as to the
meaning of last night's gathering could
be obtained, one fining is certain that
Pottsvllle and her surroundings will en
Joy a new eta of prosperity by the time
the landed interests of these gentlemen
are ma Je to yield their dusky treasures,
and that time is not very far off. If the
remarks overheard by a reporter have
any significance, the meeting last night
may have formulated plans which will
not only multiply the number of our
coal Industries, 'but diversify our manu
facturing and banking Interests.
"They were to the effect that the big
coal carriers and producers of the
northern coal fields were going to con
centrate against t?he Reading and con
trol most of the anthracite output, not
only In the Luzerne awl Lackawanna
regions, but In .the Schuylkill region as
well. The 'beggarly low price of coal
during the past cummer Is attributed
by some to the Reading, whether well
founded or not, and to prevent future
losses caused 'by such a fall In prices
these gigantic corporations are going
to band together and combat the for
mer company. The Lehigh, Pennsyl
vania, Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and a r,umlber of otlhers are In
the deal, It Is said.
Big Coal Metropolis.
"Potts-vtlle will be the big coal
metropolis of the battle ground and will
bear tho same relation to this mighty
revival of Industrial activity that
Scranton holds with the phenomenal
development of the Lackawanna coal
fields. A bank Is talked of also. Wltti
t'he gravitation of eo much wealth to
Pottavtlle, a better system 'f banking
nay tlhese men must be provided, Frank
Howell Is at present the heaviest stock
holder In the Mechanics' bank at Scran
ton, and moat of t he others are director!
In similar institutions.
"It ail aeetna plausible eViough that
thtM capital uru ptean wha they aay,
for wlrJh the tSiof wealth which Is set
ting tow ax i this part of the county,
greater banking facilities will be need
ed. They are too shrewd not to see
that such en Institution controlled by
themselves, will vastly assist them and
at the fame time make Its earning capa
city felt In the accumulation of
wealth." .
CISSY AND THE FOUNDLING.
They Dellghod a Lirgo Audicncs at
tho Frothinghato.
One of Frohman'a most talented com
panies with Cissy Fltsgerald as the
particular attraction ought to give sat
isfaction to any audience. This It did
undoubtedly to the packed house which
greeted "The Foundling" at the Froth
ingham last night The company and
Cissy are certainly delightful enter
tainers and the play Is a very appro
priate vehicle for the delivery of their
entertainment, but no one will take the
trouble to sit down to think out the
lesson it teaches or the moral It points
out.
It Is one of those plays, the action of
which is so circumstanced at times that
a great many things can be said and
done without appearing offensive, but
which, if robbed of their occasions,
would be decidedly raw. It's story Is
nothing more or less than a cleverly
linked chain of ludicrous complications
along the marital line. In the unravel
ing of which the author takes all the
liberty the present elevated tone of the
stage allows.
After seeing Cissy Fitzgerald one can
easily understand how New York
adopted her as a proper fad. 'She is
graceful and pretty, but does not by
any means deserve the superlative
when comparing her with others of her
school.
She smiles and winks after her own
peculiar and winsome fashion, but these
achievements do not put her in the van
of dance hall graduates. There Is a
something about her, however, that Is
new and different from anything else of
that kind ana tt Is this new something
after which New Yorkers are always
on the lookout that made Cissy Fitz
gerald their Idol for a season.
The leaders among the mortals who
comprise the company . are Thomas
Burns, who played the part of Major
Colton, a henpecked but SDorty old
boy; S. Miller Kent, as Dick Pennell,
the unfortunate younf,' lover, who bears
the brunt of the disastrous complica
tions; Charles W. Butler, eccentric
comedian; Clara Baker Pust as Mrs.
Colton, of strong will, and Maggie Hol
loway Fisher, the Miss Ussher, a prime
old maid.
A Bort skit called "The Man Up
stairs," of the same style as "The
Foundling," was given as a curtain
raiser.
DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.
Man Who Was Struck by a D., L. and W.
Passenger Train at New Mllford.
At 10.25 last night the spirit of John
MIcket, the 'Hungarian who was struck
by a Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern passenger train at New Mllford
Tuesday afternoon, went to its eternal
reward. The -body Is at the morgue in
the Moses Taylor hospital, where he
was 'brought, and relations In this city
are expected to arrange for the fu
neral today.
The deceased was 37 years of age; his
wife and family are in the old country.
