Sure lis MAX FATALLY INJURE D. IHcd In the Moses Taylor Hospital from Iho Kffceta of an Accident at tba South Steal Works. An unusual and sad fatal accident hapiMMied at the South Steel works at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Pat rick tt. Ryan, who was the foreman at the furnaces, an active, strong- and, exceedlnRly -careful and watchful man, was run over by the small locomotive, Nellie, and his lees were so fearfully mangled that amputation had to tie performed. He died three hours later at the Moses Taylor hospital. ' The deceaiied came to work at 6.30 In the morning. There are many branches of narrow gauge track laid In the mlllyard and he was standing: on the one which run close by the- fur naces. The locomotive came- along; quite rapidly and he saw it, but when he started to walk to one side and let It pass, his foot tripped against the- rail and he fell. The engineer did ni best to avoid striking Mr. Ryan, and used all the appliances at his com mand, but the engine run upon the pros trate form and passed entirely over his h'KS at the knees. The accident was witnessed by over a score of workmen. Dr. J. A. Manley. of Plttston avenue, was summoned and arrived soon and ordered that the hospital ambulance be summoned. The surgeons at the hos pital were forced to perform amputa tion. The limbs were almost severed, being hi Id together by only a few Khreds of tlstme. The shock was so great and the loss of blood so profuse that Kyan did not rally, and he died a few minutes before 11 o'clock. Un dertaker T. V. McDonough removed the remains to the late home at J32 South Wyoming avenue, on the corner of Maple street, in the afternoon. Mr. Ityan was 46 years old last No vember. His wife and eight children are left to mourn him. The names of the children are: Nellie, Patrick, Muzie. Dora, Helen, James, Percy and Thomas. He was a prominent resident of the South Side and his chief char acteristic was his devotion to his home and family. He was a member of Branch 85, Cath olic Mutual Benefit association, and the Holy Name Society of St. John's per ish Rnd u devout Christian. These so cieties will attend the funeral, which will be held Saturday morning. The retnnlns will be borne from the house at 8 o'clock, a high mass of requlom will be celebrated nt St. John's church at 9.:!0, and Interment will be made In Hyde Park Catholic cemetery. DO NOT WANT A CLASH. Knights Tcmplnr Ask for the l ie of tho Streets on May 20. The Knights , Templar parade and Barnum's circus parade are both sched uled for 10 o'clock a. m. May 26. This fact occurred to the local committee of Arrangements for the Templar demon stration nnd yesterday Major T. F. l'enman watted on Mayor Bnlley and asked for a permit for the exclusive use of the streets during the hours of 10 and 12 o'clock on that morning. He ex plained to the mayor that there Is no desire to prevent a counter-attraction or anything of that kind, but simply to avoid a clash. The mayor and Secretary Beamish hunted through the law but could find nothing: definite relating to the sub ject so the matter was referred to City Solicitor Torrey. If the law does not cover the ground it Is the Intention of the mayor to have the Interested parties come together and amicably adjust the matter. It Is possible that one of the parades will start at 10 o'clock and the other at 12 o'clock. This day promises to be one of the biggest in the history of the city as in addition to the two monster parades the hanging of Merol) Is scheduled for that day. . DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Clash Between Street Commissioner and Chief of Police. There was a clash in the city hall yesterday between the departments of street commissioner and chief of police over a question of duties. The firm of Miller & Brandow, of Penn avenue and Center street, complained to Mayor Bailey that a neighboring- merchant had almost blocked the ' entrance to their side door with empty crates, boxes and the like and as these obstructions were on the sidewalk they asked to have them removed. The mayor referred the complaint to the street commissioner, but he re turned It with the explanation that Bueh matters belonged to the polio-.' department. It was then referred to Chief Simpson, but he handed It back suylng that It belonged to the street commissioner department. To settle1 the nintter once and for all the mayor sent the case to City Solicitor Torrey with a request for a written opinion defining, the respective duties of tho two departments regarding; street ob struction. POLLUTING A STREAM. Sewors Are Again Connected with Sander son's Creek at Green Ridge. Parties In Green Ridge, through whose properties Sanderson's creek courses, have again started a crusade against the pollution of that stream. Some years ago, before sewers were so generally constructed In that portion of the city a great number of property owners had their sewage emptied Into the creek. As this was clearly against the law the board of health put a stop to It, and as a result many sewers were built Immediately. It was thought that the nuisance was effectively nnd finally abated but this proved to be A delusion for yesterday complaint was lodged against three parties living above Delaware street who have built houses and connected their sewers with the stream. Sanitary Officer Burke will go to the scene this morning and compel these property holders to disconnect their sewers. AIR. STILLWIXL'S ADDRESS.

INSPECTED BY THOUSANDS. Nearly $1,000,000 Represented la Land. Building sad Furnlahla-s-An Interior of Elegance, La tar aad Comfort. Owner to CompllaMatod. A crowd estimated to contain between 8.000 and 10.000 persona pulled, hauled and scrambled about the Spruce street entrance of the new Hotel Jermyn last night from 7 to 10 o'clock. At 7 o'clock the magnificent caravansary was formally opened, and after that hour the crujtvd that surged about the en trance was composed of men and wo men who had taken advantage of the announcement that during the evening the house would be open for public In spection. It was. the largest crowd of well-to-do persons that ever congregated In this city on a like occasion and It took. the . hotel management almost un awares, although Proprietor F. S. God frey and the police had expected a moderate crush. It required all the tact and patience of Chief of Police Simpson, Captain Edwards. Lieuten ant Davis and twelve patrolmen, as sisted by several of the employes, to guide the thousands from the Spruce street entrance to the second or parlor Door, to the third floor and then down the atatra and out through the lobby and corridor to the Wyoming avenue entrance. OWNER WAS CONGRATULATED. , John Jermyn. the owner of the struc ture, was In the lobby near the office throughout the evening. He was kept busy shaking hands with hundreds who complimented him on tne posses skm of the $500,000 structure and his nerve in making the great outlay. Apparently no person was more pleased with the hotel than was Mr. Jermyn hirhself. and to those who remarked that his was a rather risky venture, he replied that the risk was his and he had no fears as to the result. . proprietor Godfrey was no less an object for compliment which he re ceived from scores of acquaintances who were more than warm In their praise of the magnificence and lav Ishhess "which were apparent In the furnishings and equipment from Out basement to the roof. A million dol lars. It Is. believed, Is a very close guess of the value of the land, building- and contents. H. A. Wells, of New York city, was the Hist to attach his autograph to the register. This occurred at 6 o'clock In the afternoon, and following his were written the names of William A. Pat teni New -York city; Mr.' and MJrs. George L. Breck and George W. Breck, Scranton: William C. Parker, New York city; J. J. Burke, Scranton, and Mrs. and Mrs. L. E. Stone, Scranton; in the order named. At 1 o'clock this morning the names of registered guests filled'-'three panes. The permanent Scranton guests are: C. H. Zehnder, president of the Dickson Manufactur ing company; Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Stone, Oeorge Miller, J. J. Burke, E. A. Har nett. Mr. and Mrs. George L. Breck and son. Major Quimby, Mr. and Mrs. Le beck, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Carpenter, Mrs. Catherine E. Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Cohen, George Kingsbury. Breakfast this morning will be the first meal served In the house.' The hotel's transient rates nre from $2.50 to $3 per day; table board costs $35 per month, and $00 per month Is charged for one of the smaller single rooms and board. FAVORABLE COMPARISON. It would be Impossible to give a real ly Intelligent description of the mag nificent interior. Its arrangement and furnishings In the restricted space of a newspaper article. Such a description however seems deserved by Mr. God frey's and Mr. Jermyn's venture, for It has given to Scranton a splendid hotel which In its equipment, cuisine and fur nishings will compare favorably with what are generally designated first class houses in the largest cities of the country. The magnitude of the property and large amount of money required to maintain it may be Inferred from the fact that Its employes number over a hundred, that It has 250 guest rooms which will accommodate double that number of patrons and that It Is the only hotel property of Its kind In the state, excepting Philadelphia and Pitts burg. Other Pennsylvania cities of the same, or nearly of the same, size as Scranton possess what are advertised to be modernly constructed and mod ernly arranged hotels, but they are no more to be compared with the Hotel Jermyn than to the biggest, best and most elegantly furnished houses of Philadelphia. The air of luxurious comfort and elbow-room which exists throughout the building Is Impressed upon one when first entering from Wyoming avenue or Spruce street. From the doorway of the former entrance to almost the Oak ford court side of the structure Is a long wide corridor, which opens to ward Bpruce street Into a lobby much larger than the entire ground floor space of the average-sized mansion. In tho corridor Is the cigar and news stand and a window opening Into the Postal Telegraph company offices. The office and cashier's desk are situated In the lobby next to the corridor, and distributed about this roomy lobby spnee are leather finished lounging chairs and settees. At the Spruce street or ladles' entrance Is a small ladies' reception room. BAR AND CAFE. Across the corridor from the lobby nre the reading room, the bar and the billiard room and cafe. The last two npartments are connected. Mahogany has been used In all the woodwork of the bar and cabinet, and beneath the latter and running nearly Its entire length are cold-storage compartments traversed by cold air pipes. The gener al style of the bar suggests unusual richness and stability. Inspection of the second floor, which contains the dining room and pallors, as well as a number of sleeping rooms, gives ono an Impression of eleanco even greater than Is shown on the low er floor. The dinning room furniture Is of mahogany polish; Its silverware Is of exclusive and artistic design, and the whole apartment Indicates easo and luxury, especially when Illuminated by the hundreds of Incandescent HhU which dot the celling and pillows. Opening from the dining room and on the Spruce street side is a late-breakfast and private dining room, an apart ment containing four small and one large table and which may be used privately. An ottomnn or Turkish parlor which will be used for lounging and smok ing, is located next the breakfast room. Its oriental carpet, rich and heavy draperies, dense cushioned furni ture are thoroughly In harmony throughout. Next this room Is the ladles' parlor, . the color effect of which Is ecru, gold and white. Adjoin ing is the "star," or bridal, chamber, furnished luxuriously and containing a ten-piece set of birds-eye maple furni ture. The remaining space on this floor Is occupied by sleeping rooms. From the second floor to the seventh, Inclusive, are suites of three rooms each at the Spruce street and Wyoming ave nue corner. Each suite is reached by a private hallway, which leads to a large parlor, on either side of which is a bedroom' with baths. BEDROOM FURNISHINGS. While some of the bedrooms are more elaborately furnished than others, each apartment shown an elegance and com pleteness which features the equipment of tne whole establishment Brass bedsteads are used In each room, and In the lower priced rooms are hair mattresses of the same first -class qual ity that are contained In the higher priced apartments. Excepting the brass bedsteads, the furniture of the bed rooms is of mahogony-poliah through out the hotel and nearly every room possesses one or more novelty pieces. For the 250 bedrooms there are 100 pri vate bath-rooms. The carpeting are wllton and velvet. laid over soft, thick padding. A stationary washitand with open plumbing is situated in every room. An Important department of any hotel Is the kitchen, and In the Jermyn this feature was given particular at tention by the architect and Proper! e-or- Godfrey. It is the largest room In the building and contains every con ceivable modern culinary appliance, in cluding automatic time-limit egg boll era, self-dishwashing machines and the like. - One of the most important of the many features which make the interior so manltlcent are the carpets, window hangings, draperies, etc., which were supplied by Williams A McAnulty. Only Wllton and velvet carpets of splendid quality are used. These and the draperies justify special mention. In the dining room is a heavy Wilton of Moorish design In which terra rotta Is the prevailing color, harmonis ing with the window draperies of hand some material. The breakfast room Is laid with a Wllton of empire design and green and ecru in color. In the Turkish room, the lounging and smok ing apartment, the carpet is a har monious oriental combination of red and brown and blending tints. A green and ecru carpet of empire design la laid In the ladieB' parlor and the "star." or bridal chamber. Wiltons and velvets have been used In all the bedrooms where the appropriate de signs and magnificent colorings of car pets and draperies present an artistic and harmonious effect. In each of the corridors Is laid a red Wilton of ori ental design. Eighteen thousand yards of carpeting are contained In the hotel and these with the rich and tasteful dra peries reflect great credit on Williams & McAnulty, the firm which performed this important part of furnishing the hotel. THE HOTEL STAFF. The day, or "room" clerks, as they are termed In modern hostelrlcs, are C. Joe Carter, who was Mr. Godfrey's manager of the Valley house, and A. J. Kolp, of the Savory house, of Pes Moines, la. A. L. Bernler, late of the Hotel Bennett, of Binghamton, is the night clerk. The cashiers are Miss Anna Barnhart and Miss M. C. Har rington. No colored help is employed In or about the hotel A force of twenty American waiters are employed In the dining room. The head waiter Is Ar thur Barker, who comes here from the Niagara hotel, of Buffalo. His men were procured from leading hotels In Buffalo, Cleveland and Rochester. W. D. Lloyd, also from the Niagara hotel, Is the chef, and under his direction are employed Ave men and two women cooks and a small army of helpers. The steward is Mr. Willard, of San An tonio, Tex. The recent housekeeper of the Stratford, Philadelphia, Miss Mar garet Foster, serves In the same ca pacity at the Jermyn. From the Iroquois hotel, Buffalo, was secured J. J. Dennison, who has charge of the wine room, cafe, bar and billiard room. His assistants are Mr. Doyle and Mr. Butler. The cashiers of this department are John McDonald and John Monahan. The news nnd cigar stand Is In charge of L. L. Shoemaker, one of Mr. Godfrey's Valley house at attaches. Hugh Keenan, of this city, is head porter and guides the work of twenty-four porters, bell boys, check room boys, bussmen, elevator boys, etc. Engineer Henry Phillips, of this city, with three assistants, will have charge of the electric, heating, elevator and Ice-making plants and other mechanic al departments. The betiding In the hotel was fur nished by the Scranton Bedding com pany, and the crockery by the dem ons, Ferber, O'Malley company. CONCERT AT A. M. E. CHURCH. Worthy Object l.aet Might Whleh Was Liberally Patronised. A concert to help raise funds to erect a new church was held In Howard Place African Methodist Episcopal church last evening. A good sized sum was realized and the programme was sufficient to please everybody If the admission price had been twice 25 cents. Rev. C. A. McGee, the pastor, was highly gratified. Part first consisted of selections by the little folks and It ended with a good night march and doll drill by six little girls In their night robes, with Anna May Stackhouse, a little tot, as captain. Part second was rendered by the young men and ladles of the church. Mrs. Sadie J. Morton recited "The New Woman;" Miss Estella Howard played the "Yale March;" Miss Llllle Smith recited "William's Water melon;" and Miss Lackey sang "Alice" very sweetly. Then there was a tableau, "The Wed ding," and the personnel was as fol lows: Bride, Miss Llllle Smith; groom, Mrs. Myers; bridesmaid, Miss Florence Scott; groomsman, Festus Crump. This was an enjoyable part and was re ceived with great applause. A quar tette consisting of Misses Lee and Howard and Messrs. Plater and Wilson sang "We've All Got a Mighty Bad Cold." The concluding number was a sailing chorus and drill with Mrs. Sadlo J. Morton as captain. Refreshments, coffee, cake and Ice cream were Berved after the concert by the ladles. FOR FAIR VIRGINIA. Mr ' Whytal'a Drama Received with Much Favor at the Aosdcmr. An excellent drama Is "For Fair Vir ginia," which was seen at the Academy of Music last night. It was the first production of the drama In this city, but it was given a most flattering re ception by the large audience present. The drama is from the pen of Russ Whytal. who essays the leading male role. His wife appears in the leading female role. "For Fair Virginia" is a war drama, but is out of the beaten track traveled by nearly all of the army of play wrights who have selected that period of the nation's history as the founda tion stone of their writings for the stage. Mr. Whytal's drama tells an Interesting story and doeB It In a way that claims the attention of the audi ence from beginning to end. The cli maxes at the end of each act are strong and called forth such enthusiastic ap plause that the curtain had to be raised several times at the conclusion of each act. Mr. and Mrs. Whytal are clever art ists and are supported by a very cap able, well-balanced company. Some of the members of It who distinguished themselves last night were Carleton Macy, Charles S. Abbe, John Wood ward. Cyril Young, Lottie Briscoe and Mable Knowles. Ante of Windlseh llanglnc. Harrlsburg, Pa., April 8.

BEDFORD FOR CHIEF Tart Is the Latest Production of the Political Prophets. REASON THAT HE IS TAKEN IT The Only Thing Needed to Complete the Story Is Coaflraiatloa by the) Maor aad That Ue Wltholda-Says It Is Idle Rumor, Andrew P. Bedford for chief of po lice. That's the latest prediction of the political prophets. "It's Just this way," said one of the prop'iets In conversation with a Trib une reporter yesterday. "You know Mayor Bailey wanted to appoint Frank Robling to the position of chief of po lice, and he would do it yet If his po litical friends would stop bullying him. He thinks Robling would make a very good chief, and, besides, the appoint ment would please his friends, the Rob insons and others. At the same time it would highly displease a very large and powerful contingent of his friends and he cannot afford to risk, at the begin ning of his administration, the compli cations that would ensue with Robling at the head of the police department. "Joe Taylor Is a comparative stran ger to him, but has been most warmly endorsed by a large number of the party leaders, and if the mayor had announced his appointments Monday. I think Taylor would have been landed In the office of chief. Unfortunately, for that gentleman, nervous prostra tion attacked the mayor and he was too ill to decide upon his appointments for Monday. That gave the opponents of Taylor an opportunity to work and they took advantage of it. Now It looks as if Taylor will suffer the same fate as Robling and be dropped. "That will make a new man neces sary, and that man will be Andrew Plnkerton Bedford. He Is not anxious for the office, for it's not exactly In his line, tut he's a warm friend of Mayor Bailey, and If his acceptance of the office would let the mayor out of a tight place, I am sure that he would be willing to don the blue. I under stand that the thing has been decided upon and that the office of chief will be tendered to Mr. Bedford and that he will accept." So much for the prophet. A Tribune reporter interviewed May or Bailey last night as to the likeli hood of Mr. Bedford being tendered the office of chief. "No one has been decided upon as yet for that position," was the way the mayor answered the Interrogation. When told of the story that was In circulation concerning Mr. Bedford, he said that It was merely Idle rumor, and had no foundation In fact. The mayor said he intended to go to New York today and will remain there until Mon day. He goes for a rest and on his re turn will take up for consideration the matter of making appointments. NUMEROUS DEPRESSIONS. Street Commissioner Kinsley Was Kept Busy Fixing Streets Yesterday. There was a cave-In on Mulberry street In the neighborhood of Harrison avenue yesterday morning sometime before daylight, whleh caused a circu lar depression, twenty feet In diameter. Street Commissioner Kinsley Is at a loss to explain what caused the cave In, but thinks it resulted from a break in the sewer. He will excavate today to ascertain, whether It Is the Bewer or whether it Is caused by a mine settling. Complaint was also made yesterday of two dangerous holes In Washburn street between Main avenue and the Oxford breaker. These will also be at tended to today. A broken water main on Railroad street near the corner of Luzerne caused a sinking of the surface which kept the gas and water company's men and one of the street commissioner's gangs busy for a good part of the day. Another cave-in was reported from Washington avenue, near the corner of Pine street. It was caused by the set tling of the gravel in a trench dug by the Gas and Water company about a year ago. Meals and Cold Lunches. Meals and cold lunches served at all hours at Lohmann's, Spruce street. Regular dinner 40 cents. Imported and domestic wines, cigars and liquors.
