DAV1TT WMB THE CITY
The Great Irish Statesman and
Patriot Hereon New Year's Day.
HIS SISTEK WAS WITH HIM
Were tlio Guests of Their Sister, Mrs.
.Mary I'nddcn. of North Washington
Avenno-.Mr. Davltt Says Cleveland
Is Night in Venezuela .Matter.
Michael Dnvltt, the brilliant nnd pa
triotic: Irishman was In the city yes
terday for a few hours. Ills hurry wan
so great that he could not spend more
than from M.4M Tuesday nUilit. when
he arrived, until 1.60 p. in, yesterday,
when he left for New York. He was ac
companied by his sister. Miss Sabiiiu
Uavitt, of Washington, I). t, who has
been a Koveinnient clerk fur seven or
eight years. Mr. Dnvltt came here to
see his sister. Mrs. Mary Paddcii, of
Washington avenue and Phelps street,
and he was her guest while In the city.
The founder of the Land I.ea:ue was
In Scran tun before on October li, 1S!U,
the day on which Chillies Stewart
Parnell died. His present visit was
taken on his way from Chicago to New
York, from which he sails next Satur
day fur Ireland. He lives In Dublin,
but while parliament Is In stssion he
lakes up his residence in London.
.Mr. Davltt Is returning from an eight
months' lecturing tour through the
principal cities of Australia. The gen
eral elections ut home came on during
his absence and he was returned from
two constituencies. Ills Intention was
to retire from politics, but tills precludes
that possibility for the present and on
his reaching Ireland, he will have to
decide which of the two scats he will
take.
I ntliusiflstlo Over the l.ally Children.
Mr. Duvltt went Into ecstasies over
the talented l.ully children, whose
grand uncle he Is, they being children
of Mrs. Pudden's daughter, Mrs. John
J. Lnlly. John, uged X. Mary, aged ti.
and Nell. 4. entertained him in their
Illimitable way. He was enraptured
and surprised and he declared that 'In
all his travels around the globe he saw
nothing superior to them for their age.
Those who had the pleasure of witness
ing their performance nt the llrownles
In the Frothlnsham, will readily agree
with him.
He was enthusiastic about the growth
of Scranton In four years. It has devel
oped wonderfully he snld nnd impresses
the vlnitor at once with the fact that
the machinery of its progress Is in
charge of men of stability and enter
prise. At Its present rate he thinks
Scranton will soon win Us way to a
commanding position among the first
class cities of the country.
While In Australia he observed that
Irishmen who have settled there are
largely interested In farming nnd are
nut Inclined to dwell in cities ns they
do In America. They are thrifty and
are good farmers. Some or them are
extensive land owners and sheepralsers.
His trii to the colonies was partly for
personal and partly for political pur
poses While he was lecturing the
elections came on and the prollts of his
tour amounting to Jlft.WO, he sent to
Justin McCarthy, the leader of the Irish
people, for the cause und It was cheer
fully accepted and appropriately ap
plied. Sat Cleveland Is Right,
His opinion with reference lo the war
talk between America and England Is
that President Cleveland Is thoroughly
In the right and that Salisbury litis not
the courage of his language. For years
England has been accustomed to bully
weak nattons.and she thought she could
also bullv America with Impunity and
attemnt "to do what she had accom
plished in Africa and India. l!ut
America had the pluck to say 'Hands
off' Arbitration is fair, nnd Salisbury
will be compelled to accept It or go to
war. He doesn't want to go to war,
as he well knows what would be trie
result."
As to the outcome of such a war If
one must come, he thinks thnt this
country would not send her ships out to
sea to do buttle.und that England would
have to send an army here. She never
could send enough troops to this coun
try to whip the United States. All the
other powers whom England has Insult
ed would clap their hands and rejoice
nt England's inlsfoitune. Hut this war
talk is all exaggerated. If Salisbury
went before the country nt a general
election on thnt issue he would be
whipped out of his boots. The people of
England do not want to engage with
the 1'nlted States in war. They are
closely interested in the people of this
country and In her industries. More
over, they want the chenp food which
comes from America, and a war would
double the cost of living to the English
people.
Reason for Salisbury's Conduct.
Mr. Davltt advances the reason for
the position taken by Salisbury In the
Venezuelan dispute that the premier
pursued the course he did In order to
divert attention from Armenia and thus
escape censure from his cowardly at
tempt to bully the sultnn. although it
Is regretted that in his bullying he did
not succeed. Salisbury more than any
other Is responsible for the ArWnlan
atrocities, for had it not been for him
and his Interference. Russia some years
ago would have forced Turkey to an
attitude of submission.
The difference between the Irish fac
tions the Parnelllles and the McCar
thyltes Mr. Davltt said, were much
magnified by the papers, both abroad
and In this country, and he said that
were both working for a common cause.
As for himsel, he was an Irishman, for
Ireland, and he would not say that he
belonged to any faction.
His health was never better than it
is now and he looks to be a strong nnd
rugged man, ready for any contest that
arises.
RAILROAD NOTES.
During the year 18H' the Baldwin Lo
comotive works, of Philadelphia, built
4(11 locomotives, or nearly 40 per cent,
of the entire number constructed dur
ing the year In the I'nited States. The
output Is about 2 per cent, in excess of
that of the previous year. itsm. wnen nn
313 locomotives were nuHt, and about
per cent, of the product of 189:1, wh
763 finished locomotives were sent
by the firm. Of the 401 constructed
sent out during the past year, lf2 v
to European and South American c
tries, and the other 2:19 were construd
for American railroads. There are
in hand orders for W) engines, which

In the t'nlted States, except one, built
more locomotives in 1SH5 than in 1S94,
ami the total number of engines built
foids upl.lOS, against 65 In the previous
year. Two of the companies reporting
locomotives built in 1S:4 did not build
any In 111.1, nnd one other company dnd
not report In the latter yeur. The
larger locomotive works seem to have
been In a better position to profit by the
large increase of orders, and several of
such works built more than twice their
output In 1S94.
The Southern railway ran Its first
through train over its new route to
Norfolk, via Crcensburg, Kaliegh. Sel

INDUSTRIAL.
Pltts.m Gazette: The Stevens Coal
company has a tract of about 1U0 acres
of coal land In Exeter borough, to the
south of their present Workings, which
has never been worked. A large "roll"
has prevented easy access to the truck,
but the cuiupuny's otllclals are now con
sidering the best means of reaching the
coal, with the Intention of working tin
tract. For this uuruose several bore
holes have been put down recently. It
lins not yet been decided whether to
drive a tunnel through the "roll." a dis
tance of about 4U0 feet, or to make u
new opening und haul the coal overland
to the breaker.
Proxies in favor of the present man
agement of the Lehijvh Valley railroad
are coming In freely. President Wil
bur's re-election is said to be assured
by a larger majority than for several
years.
The Reading railroad reports that
coal shipment last week aggregated
lIL'U.uOO tons, of wliici':45,(iUO tons weru

Following tha Bachelors' ball society

Is considered the round of receptions,
dancing parties and teas which have
been given since December 24. Per
haps It is best that the list of events al
most terminated with the big ball,
which event spoiled many persons for
anything less elegant. The great ac
complishment of the Bachelor commit-
J in successfully giving so stnpen
.ous an affair surprised not a few of
the out-of-town guests who leurned
that refinement and good taste are Just
as peculiar to this region as are coal
and murders, the two undignified things
which are quite generally but Incor
rectly associated with Scranton. The
