IT COUUN'Tt:OMPETE.
An Incident of Interest to Vacra of Tclo
pliones. The Atlanta Constitution, In a recent
number, contained an Item of casual
interest to users of telephones. It said:
"The Alabama Telephone Construction
company, known as the Harrison Tele
phone exchange of Kelma, has col
lapsed. The exchange was built Just
eighteen months at?o to compete with
the Southern Hell Telephone exchange.
The poles and wires were sold yester
day at a nominal price, said to be
enough to cover the outstanding In
debtedness. , ;The original .'investment
proved a total loss." , .
The Helma Journal adds these partic
ulars: "George A. Wilkins, secretary
of the Alabama Telephone and Con
struction company. In conversation
with a reporter of the Journal this
morning, said in answer to a question
us to why the company abandoned the
telephone business in Selnia: 'The sim
ple reason was tlint the exchange was
not paying expenses and there was no
prospect of its doing so at the prices
charged. It appeared to be Impossible
with the Instruments used, principally
the Harrison, to give satisfactory ser
vice, or a service that would bear com
parison with the Hell. This was a con
stant source of complaint and annoy
unce. "It Is all well enough to talk about
home institutions and local influence,
but the Investors want and expect to
receive some returns on their Invest
ment, and the people, the patrons of the
telephone exchange, want, demand and
must have good service. The prices
charged and the instruments used by
our company would bring neither, and
this Is the reason why we abandoned
the held.' "
WHILE KINSLEY SLEPT.
Arthur rrothinaliam Makes An Early
Morning Attempt to l'lnisn the Por
tico. ,
Another attempt was made by Arthur
Prothlnghnm to complete the portico
in front of the theater entrance on Wy
oming avenue Saturday morning, but
Street Commissioner Kinsley frustrat-
d the plan and placed Sir. Frothing-
ham under arrest.
The affair was the cause of no little
excitement. Select Councilman Adam
Schroeder was abroad early In the
morning, and chancing down Wyoming
avenue, discovered Mr. Frothinghnm,
with a force of live carpenters, working
with all expediency at the unfinished
portion of the portico. Foreman Geo.
Prrigo, of the street commissioner s de-
lartmerit, was summoned and demand-
d of Mr. Frothinghnm to produce his
uthority for proceeding with the work.
t was not forthcoming, so Mr. Perlgo
hastened to Ills chief, Mr. Kinsley, and
appraised him of Mr. Frothingham's
early morning move.
The street commissioner came down
town Immediately, calling In at the
station house for a squad of police.
Arriving at the portico he ordered the
work to cease, threatening to arrest
every one concerned if another nail
was driven. Just at this juncture the
patrol wagon turned the corner of Lin
den street. The work stopped, but the
workmen did not. Judging from the
manner of their start, it is a question
If some of them have stopped yet. Mr.
Frothlngham did not share in the
lllght, but stood and protested against
the interruption. Mr. Kinsley Informed
him that he was under arrest, and di
rected him to appear before Alderman
Millar Monday morning. Then the
street commissioner had a gang of his
men tear down the scaffolding which
had been erected, and the excitement
was over.
The decision pending since Mr. Froth-
Inghum'H former arrest will be an
nounced by Alderman Millar on May 1.

Our Woman's Paper.
Xhe eagerness with which space In
the advertising columns is being taken
in "Our Woman's Paper," will not ex
fluuliuiny of the more-lardy merchants
from a good position. Every page of
the twenty-four will have some one or
more Interesting articles that will gain
for it devotees among the lady acquaint
ances of the writer, and the circulation
will be Increased t such an extent that
good returns cannot help but come from
such publicity. The edition of 40,000
hus already been well subscribed, and
an additional 20,000 will doubtless be
contracted for. What the women of
Scranton can do as publishers of a pa
per win create a large constituency of
readers, some of whom will secure
many copies for their friends at a dis
tance, as well as those near at home.
Advertisers should send their copy at
the earliest possible moment, so that no
delay will be caused by its insertion on
the proper page. Already the contracts

ftRE FOR HftHRlTY KOW
Lackawanna Delegation Wilt Not Go
to the Convention to Kick.
THE RBASOX OP THE CHANGE
llarrltjr Will Control Alleatowa Gather
lag aad tha only Way the Man from
Thla County Can Seenra Recoj
nltloa I by Getting In Line.
The result of the recent meeting of the
Democratic state committee at Harrls
burg, which accented William F. Har
rlty's orders without question, has
caused a great change of sentiment. It
is said, on the part of the delegates
elected by the Democratic county com
mittee to represent this county.
The names of the delegates chosen
by this body are. First legislative
district, James Flynn. Providence; John
Uaffney, West Side; Second district.
John J. O'llovle. Charles Schndt. John
J. Shea: Third -district. W. W. Baylor;
Fourth district, James J. O'Neill. Car
bondale; Miles J. McAndrew, Archbald;
James J. Lynch. Olyi.hant.
It was understood at the time these
gentlemen were named that they would
go to the state convention to oppose
llarrlty and the unit rule. This was
understood by Harrity's friends, who
Immediately began preparations to
send deleeates down from each leglsla
tlve district to contest the rights or
the men elected by the county com
mittee to hold, seats In the convention.
In the fall of 18H4 the Democrats of
the First district elected Postmaster F.
M. Vandllng and P. F. McCann to rep
resent them at the coming convention.
Mr. Vanillins Is a Harrlty admirer so
no effort was made to secure another
delegation from the First. In the Sec
ond district K. C. Newcomb. S. S.
Sprukw and M. E. McDonald were se
lected as the rival delegates, but In
the Third district W. W. Haylor, the
county committee delegate, was Influ
ential enough to secure the endorse
ment of the district committee.
The Fourth district also elected dele
gates to contest the seats of the men
selected by the county committee and
the probabilities are that all of these
delegates will go to Harrlsburg.
"The delegates elected by the county
committee have ceased to talk against
Harrlty." said a well-known Democrat
last night. "They are anxious to get in
out of the wot. It Is as. plain as the
writing on the wall that' Harrlty will
have the Allentown convention In the
hollow of his hand and the man who
expects to be In the swim must be with
him all through the race. The county
committee delegates realize that their
credentials are faulty enough to give
a committee on contested seats an ex
cuse for Ignoring their claims, and since
they can hardly expect favors at the
hands of Harrlty if they show a dispo
sition to unhorse him, the reason of
their flop Is evident. They want seats
in the convention and are not going to
destroy their chances by fool hardiness.
That's the reason of their change of
front. If seated they will do Harrity's
bidding."
The convention will be called to order
at Allentown Wednesday, and the
Lackawanna delegnttnn will leave for
that place tomorrow.
CARRIAGE OVERTLRXED.
Twol.ndios and Throe Children Injured
by an I'psct at Providence Corners.
While driving to their home on the
West Side from a visit In Providence
Inst night nhout 9 o'clock Mrs. Hammell
and Mrs. King, with three small chil
dren, wno accompanied them, were
thrown out and more or less Injured
by the overturning of their carriage at
the Intersection of Main avenue and
Market street.
The upset was caused by the carriage
wheels being caught In the street car
tracks In making a short turn as they
drove down the West Market street
hill on to Main avenue.
Mrs. Hammell, who was driving, was
the most seriously injured. She was
carried unconscious Into the Lewis drug
store and Dr. Donne summoned. Af
ter a time she recovered consciousness,
but her condition was such that It was
not deemed advisable to take her to
her home and so she was conveyed
to the residence of A, P. O'Donnell,
wnere she was cared for. Owing to
Mrs. Hanvmell's previous condition
fears of serious consequences are held.
Airs, iving ana tne children were
palnlully bruised but all escaped with
out any serious injury.

general.
