Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineer's
Convenes Here.
FROM BUFFALO TO H0I30KEN
Every Division on the Entire System
Was Represented, but Not a Single
Uclceats Uad Anything of
Which to Complain.
Eighty-five locomotive engineers rep
resenting every lodge of the brother
hood on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western rond met in this city yes
terday afternoon in what is known as a
"system meeting."
These meetings are held at Irregular
periods at variuua points on the road.
The last one was held in Buffalo in
September and the next will be held In
Klmira, towards the close of the year,
the date having not yet been decided
upon. They are, as a rule, held on. Sun
day and are attended by all the engin
eers who can conveniently do so.
Yetsc-rday'B meeting was not a'i large
ly attended as the previous one, owing
to the busy times that obtain Just at
present, when almost every engineer,
particularly engineers on coal trains,
are making overtime Very often na
tional officers of the brotherhood attend
these Bessions, but owinsr to their en
gagements elsewhere yesterday as ar
bitrators or members of g .-ievnnee com
mittees, and the fact that there Is ab
solutely no need for them in uich capac
ities on the Lackawanna rond there
were none in attendance at this meet
ing. They Congratulated Themselves.
As there were no grievances to be
considered the meeting was simply a
congratulatory love feast in which the
engineers felicitated themselves upon
j thoir present happy and contented con
dition resultant from the present period
of unusual prosperity and the very
friendly relations existing: between the
men and tho company. Several of tho
speakers touched fittingly upon this
8' mewhrit remarkable meeting.
The meeting which was held in the
hall of Ram Hloan division. No. 276, at
l:M Wyoming avenue, lasted about two
hours and at Its conclusion the visiting
engineers were shown about the city
until evening, when a special train bore
them to Moscow, where as much fun
was hnd as could be properly enjoyed
on Sunday.
A Railroad Young Men's Christian as
sociation meeting was held in tho Meth
odist church, at which addressses were
made by Sllns Davidson, of Washing
ton, N. J.; Benjamin Locke, secretary
of the Railroad Young Men's Christian
association at Hoboken; John Peters, of
Jersey City; John R. Trock, of this
city, and Ell U. Vail, of Moscow, at
whose Invitation the engineers took
tho excursion to the country cousin of
the Electric City..
' Shandy .Mojnlro Wn Present.
' The dny was morever made memora
ble by the presence of one of the best
known and most brilliant railroad men
of tho United States Engineer Fennell,
of Oswego, known better by his nom
de plume of "Shandy Magulre." He Is
an orator of no mean ability and nn
ever ready wit, but his principal fame
rests in his poetry, which has won for
him reknown far beyond the confines of
railroad organizations. Several of his
worKs have received the merited dis
tinction of a place In the leading maga
zines and periodicals.
The party returned to this city at 10.30
o'clock In time for the night trains. All
spoke In glowing terms of the hospital
ity they received during their stay, and
if Scranton ever wants anything in tho
way of a national convention It can
well nigh command the votes of all the
orgalzations represented here yester
day. DESPERATE YOUXfl ROBBETtsT
They Hold t'p and Brutally Assaulted
John Moran, of Mlnonka.
John Moran, of Minooka, -whose wife
was killed by a street car last June, was
held up, robbed of $18, and then brutal
ly beaten at Cedar avenue and Brook
street, Saturday morning at 1.30 o'clock.
Moran works In the Dodge breaker of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern and Friday, after reclving his pay,
he proceeded to sample the grades of
Bellevue liquor. Late at night he drift
ed to the central city and after midnight
he went into a saloon on Lackawanna
avenue, got 80 cents' worth of drinks
and refused to pay for them.
Lieutenant of Police John Davis was
called in and Moran immediately set
tled up. He then, at the command of
the lieutenant, started home. When
he got to Brook street he was attacked
and robbed. He was first knocked
down and one of his assailants choked
him to prevent an outcry.
When they secured his money, they
scudded away. He raised the cry of
murder and awoke Michael Hand, pro
prietor of tho Scranton Brewing com
pany, who came out and helped the old
man to tho boiler room of the Meadow
Brook Silk mill, where the blood was
washed from him. There were several
large gashes in his head. Patrolman
Domlnlck T. Boland scoured the place
for the robbers. . .
DIED OF PNEUMONIA.
Report That Willie Roberta Death Was
Due to Injuries Untrue.
A sensational report prevailed Satur
day to the effect that Willie Roberts, a
15-year-old boy living with his parents
at 618 Gibson street, had died during
the preceding night from Injuries re
ceived In a foot ball game. Credence
was given the rumor from the fact that
tho boy. really had died and that his
parents were slow to be convinced by
Dr. Wents, the attending physician,
that death was due to pneumonia
Young Roberts was taken 111 early
last week. He complained' of pains in
his chest, and when questioned as to
the probable cause, said he had re
ceived a violent blow In the chest while
playing foot ball the day previous.
There was not hemorrhage, bruise or
other Indication of Internal injury, but
the boy insisted that the pains In his
chest came from a blow.
He grew slightly worse and experi
enced a little difficulty in breathing.
Dr. Went was summoned and imme
diately pronounced thecase pneumonia.
The patient's condition grew rapidly
alarming and would not yield to treat
ment. His death at U o'clock Friday
night was not unexpected. The funeral
was held yesterday afternoon in St
Luke's church.

MISS RYAN IS PARTICULAR.
She Refused to Marry Petor Shawcross in
tho Polico Station.
Peter Shawcross, aged 55, the cook at
Whyte's Hotel, on Franklin avenue,
and Susan Ryan, a winsome miss of 44
summers, occupied adjoining cells tn
the station house yesterday. Procras
tination caused It all.
Last Monday they went together to
Wllkes-Barre, sought out Clerk of the
Courts Davenport and secured a mar
riage license. Peter would be married
then and there, but Susan suddenly ex
perienced a feeling of regret for her
escapade, lost all the romance that was
In her and vowed she would be mar
ried at home or not at all. Home they
came but still Susan held back. Sho
had the marriage license snugly and
safely stoved away in her bosom and
if Peter at any time became too impor
tunate she could waive the dread cer
tificate over his head and bid him bide
her time.
Peter Llkod Not Delay.
"Hope long deferred maketh the
heart sad," and bo it was with Peter.
To drown this sadness he adopted the
method that oftimes makes men forget
their sadness, and Susan was not
averse to adopting some of the same
method herself. But there was mad
ness In their method and when they be
come quite thoroughly maddened,
Peter upbraded Susan and Susan told
Peter go to. Susan became demonstra
tive and attracted the attention of a
police officer, who placed her under ar
rest. Peter had to go too.
In police court yesterday morning
Alderman Millar fined them $7.. 10
apiece. Peter paid his own fine and left
his betrothed to ponder over her lot
and the entomological wonders of a
station house cell.
Tho alderman was willing to marry
them then and there and Peter was
agreeable, but the bride would not con
sent to wed in a police court. She hnd
no doubt, aye and many a time, pic
tured that eagerly anticipated occa
sion and. in the most romantic of her
dreamlnga there were no prison bars
and police officers to make a back
ground. It was not to her fancy and
she would have none of it.
Peter Left the Station House.
"Out upon you then," quoth Peter,
striding away. As he left the police
court he muttered something about
people staying where they were until
people came to their senses and mar
ried people that were willing to marry
them.
MORGAN'S GRAVE MISTAKE.
Thought Uo Had the Power to Marry
People, but He Did Mot.
Ex-Afderman Thomas T. Morgan, of
the Fifteenth ward, has senurely fast
ened himself into a largo legal holo and
it will require many strong tugs to un
tie tho cords which bind him to his
blunder. Last spring Mr. Morgan was
defeated for re-election to the office of
alderman of his ward. Feeling that the
knowledge of the law he gained in
fifteen years' experience as alderman,
should not be wasted, he applied and
received a commission as Notary Pub
lic, but has overstepped the powers of
notary and thus began his present em
barrassment. It appears that Mr. Morgan was not
well coHted on the duties of h!: new
office and he has, since his appointment,
performed three marriage ceremonies,
which he had no right to do. The mis
take was discovered on Saturday, when
Notary Morgan filed a marriage cer
tificate in the clerk of the courts' office,
showing that on October 4 he married
John Morgan and Josephine Shlro, both
of Eynon street. He thought himself
empowered to tie the knot.
When Mr. Morgan ws neon ' y a Tri
bune reporter last evening he was still
under the Impression that he could
legally perform marriages by virtue of
his notary's commission. In the pres
ence of the reporter he pulled down
from his shelves several volumes of
legal lore and searched in Vain for the
powers that were not there.
In the meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. Mor
zai.la dwtll on Eynon struct, bello'injr
that they are a regularly married
couple. There are two other couple
who have been Illegally married by
Notary Morgan during his short regime,
but he refuses to give their names.
BOYER A RECORD BREAKER.
Gets Arrested for WIMBentlnf Twlee in
One Day.
Seldom does It happen that a man is
acrerted and Jailed twin? in the same
day on similar charges, but this was the
unhappy but withal well merited ex
perience of Charles Boyer, oi Oakford
court, yesterday.
At 11 o'clock in the morning Boyer
was arrested and locked up by Patrol
man Melnser on complaint of Mrs.
Boyer, who charged her husband with
having unmercifully beaten her. After
a foUr hours' detention at the station
house Boyer secured his release upon
making a deposit for his appearance
tliln morning. An hour or so after so
curing his liberty he went back to his
home and again shamefully abused his
wife. Neighbors sent word to the sta
tion house and Patrolman Melnzer once
more responded and placed Boyer under
arrest.
He resisted savagtly and had to be
handcuffed. He begged to be released
again, but his prayers were unheeded.
STILL HOLD THE FORT.
Board of Appesls Has Not as Yet Seeured
the Assessors' Fnrnltnre.
The city assessors still hold' the fort
although another onslaught on their
citadel was made Saturday. A gang of
six laborers under direction of City
Clerk Lavelle Invaded the office and
after removing what remained of the
assessment books started to take out
the furniture. The assessors would not
allow this and said so in such deter
mined tones that there was nothing for
the laborers to do but get out, and they
did.
In the afternoon Clerk Heusner made
application to City Clerk Lavelle for an
assessment book, but was refused. The
assessors were very wroth at this and
will make the Incident the basis of their
side of the story which councils will be
called upon to hear next Thursday
night .
BROWN'S "BEE HIVE."

H'DffllTI IN THE CITY
He May Be Scranton's Base Ball
Manager Daring 1896.
WILL TALK CONTRACT TODAY
Ex-Presldcnt Betts Visited MoDermott in
the St. Charlos Yesterday-He Will
Call at Mr. Simpson's Office
This Afternoon.
M. H. McDermott, this season's Fall
River base ball manager, and who may
guide Scranton's fortunes In 1S98, is in
the city. Ho registered at the St.
Charles Hotel Saturday night and had
a talk with Mr. Betts yesterday af
ternoon, but will not confer with
Harry P. Simpson, the new Scranton
promoter of base ball, until this morn
ing. Until then no one can say that
McDermott will bo the Scranton man
ager. He is one of the most conspicuous
figures in the new England league,
chiefly because he won the pennant
with a team whose salaries and ex
penses exceeded those of only two
teams In the league. He is not a play
ing manager, as has been generally
understood in Scranton. Until 1891 he
was a pitcher, but In that year he
threw his arm out, and, after recuper
ating nearly all the following season,
In 1893 began to manage the Fall Klvcr
team and for three years has done so
successfully.
McDermott is slender In stature, of
medium height and weighs possibly 140
pounds. He looks all his 34 years. Af
ter casual meeting one would Imagine
him to be a cuiet thoughtful fellow,
who Is not disposed to tell all he knows,
and who, If he had a mission to per
forin, would set about it with deter
mination and with an absence of noise.
Prefers the Eastern Leaguo-
It is not known here what figure
and terms were considered in the cor
respondence between McDermott and
ex-President Betts, who opened nego
tiations before the franchise changed
hands. Whatever the sum, it is high
er than has been paid In the New
England league, and when the Brock
ton owners heard of It they Immediate
ly offered a like amount to secure Mc
Dermott for themselves. But the Fall
River man said he thought the East
ern league Is a step higher, and that's
why ho refused the Brockton offer and
came here to talk things over. Such
was tho substance of his statement to
a Tribune reporter Inat night.
He reached here late Saturdny night,
having hurriedly left Fall River, where
he Is trensurer of a theater, on receipt
of a telegram from Mr. Eetts. He ivus
visited by 'Mr. Betts yesterday after
noon and given a letter of Introduc
tion to Mr. Simpson, whom he will visit
this morning. He hopes to leave for
home before night. In vletw of the ab
sence of any definite arrangements with
the Scranton owners he refrained from
discussing this city's base ball pros
pects. McDermott did make one statement
or a color entirely different from the as'
Bertlons of the ex-owners of the Scran
ton franchise relative to the proposed
purcnase uy rail Ktver. He said the
prposed sale to Fall River was a mvth:
that Fall River parties had not made
an offer for the franchise, and did not
know anything about what has trans
plred here during the last two weeks.
Clubs Do llns Twirled For.

Theft at Htroudrburg.
Early Saturday morning three men

trouble was. He was Just In time to

ionization-Saturday's Gathering
Was of an Informal Character.
A meeting of the men who are agitat
ing a business men's club was held Sat
urday afternoon in the office of Colonel
H. M. Boles. It transpired that as
many as seventy-five names had been
secured of proper candidates for mem
bership who would pay initiation fees
of $100 and dues of $50 per year.
The gathering was Informal and no
temporary organization, was even sug
gested. It was the opinion of those
present that at least 100 men should
become interested before any attempt
to bring tho club project to a definite
Issue. With this understanding the
meeting terminated, and during this
week the necessary twenty-five addi
tional members will be obtained; this
done. It is quite probable that a club
will be organized.
