PROF. CASTERLINE'S BOOK.
Second Edition of "Forty Years at
Cast Steel."
Professor W. S. Casterline, of Plttston,
was In this city yesterday supervising
the work of getting ready for the public
the second edition of his book "Forty
Years at Cast Steel and Tool Making."
It has just been issued from the Tribune
press. Professor Casterlne is an author
ity on cast steel and until his health
broke down several years ago was the
boss tool dresser in some of the largest
-manufacturing plants in the country.
The first edition of his book was sold
from one end of the continent to the
other as well as In Europe. You can
get more general Information out of it In
one-half day about blacksmlthlng, tool
dressing, tool-making and the art of
working and tempering cast steel than
you can in the average uhop In a life
time. Tils work was not written by a
eollege graduate, who has no knowledge
of cast steel, except what he reads and
others tell him, but was written by a
blacksmith and tool-maker that has
stood over the anvil for forty years with
hammer in hand, and whose tools have
been In use for years In all civilized
countries on the globe. He has written
nothing except what Is truthful, useful
and to the point. This book is the
fruits of a lifetime experience. When
you buy it you get, in a few minutes
what the author has been a whole
lifetime collecting, and in some-instances
paying fabulous prices for re
cipes and other Information contained
In it. The work is the brains and gen
ius of more than a thousand smiths that
the author has come In contact with,
gathering a. little from each one and
coupled with Is own experience.
Professor Casterline. exhibits a case
of tools all of which lie has manufac
tured by hand and some of which he has
patented. They are marvels as showing
, what genius can accomplish with a
' hammer and anvil.

Delexites of the Young Mea's Institute
ia Sessioi ia This City.
IMPORTANT BUSINESS BEFORE IT
Coastitntioa and ttyLaws for the
Government of the Atlantic Juris
diction Are to Be Prepared and
AdoptedEntertainment for the
Delegates Last Night.
Delegates from the local councils of
the Young Men's Institute In the terri
tory embraced in the Pennsylvania
Jurisdiction met In this city yesterday
to organise the grand council of this
jurisdiction and adopt laws for Its gov
ernment. Until last February there were but
two Jurisdictions of the Institute, the
Atlantic and Pacific. In February the
supreme council of the order met in
Denver, Col., and In consequence of the
Institute's trreat growth decided to div
ide the country Into a number of juris- j
(llrlionn Th Vcnj fc'nirlanrl anil Mlfl.
! dlo states constitute what Is known as
the Pennsylvania Jurlxdlrtlon and yes
terday It began its official existence.
The delegates assembled in College
hail and at 9 o'clock attended mass In
St. Peter's cathedral. Rev. J. A. Mc
Hugh was celebrant. Rev. T. W. Cor
mody. deacon, and liev. J. K. McAn
drew. Bub-doacun. The sermon was
preached by Rev. J. J. B. Feeley, splr
ltuul director of John Knyle O'Reilly
council of this city. He took for his
text the words found In St. Peter's first
epistle, "For so Is the will of God, that
by doing well you may put to silence the
iKnorance of foolish men. As free and
not making liberty a cloak for malice,
hut as the servant of God. Honor all
r"en. love the brotherhood, fear God."
The speaker extended a warm welcome
to the visitors and advised them to be
KUldod by the spirit embodied in the
text, "love for the brotherhood and fear
of God."
CONVENTION AT WORK.
After maps the delegates returned to
College hall whe C. B. Adams, of Al
toona, organizing deputy, called the
delegates to order and In doing so made
a short address. A temporary organi
zation was affected by electing P. 11.

COMMITTEES NAMED.
Committees were appointed on cre
dentials, finances and law and super
vision. The latter is a very Important
one as It will present to the grand
council a draft of the constitution and
by-laws for the government of the Ju
risdiction which will be acted upon to
day by the delegates. It Is probable
that the greater part of the day will
be devoted to the consideration of the
various sections presented. The con
stitution must follow the lines laid down
by the supreme council but the by-laws,
or working rules of the Jurisdiction will
be prepared by this committee. On
Thursday officers will be elected which
will probably close the work of the
grand council.
After the committees were named a
letter was read from Bishop M. J. Ho
ban who expressed his regrets at not
being able to attend the sessions of the
grand council. Telegrams of congratu
lation were sent to John J. McDade, of
San Francisco, supreme president to
the Kentucky Jurisdiction, now in ses
sion at IjOulHVille.
At 3 o'clock the grand council ad
journed until this morning to give the
members of the committees on law and
supervision an opportunity to prepare
their report. After the adjournment of
the council the visitors were shown
about the city and were much im
pressed by Its size and progressive
spirit.
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT.
In the evening a semi-public enter
tainment and reception was held in
Music hall. The delegates occupied po
sitions of honor in the first rows of
seats. On the platform were Rev. J. J.
B. Feeley. speaker of the evening, M.
J. McAndrew, chairman: C. B. Adams,
of Altoona, and E. P. Mitchell, of this
city. The hall was crowded, members
of all of the councils of this vicinity
with their friends being present.
The evening's programme opened
with an address by the chairman, Mr.
McAndrew, who welcomed the visitors
to the city In a happy way. Miss Kate
Saltry and Edward O'Malley gave a
piano duett, "The Detroit Journal
March," which was followed by a vocal
solo, "Yes," by Miss Annie Brown, of
Olyphant, the possessor pf a sweet,
sympathetic voice.
Rev. J. J. B. Feeley was then Intro
duced and delivered a short but elo
quent address on the alms and objects
of the Young Men's Institute. Its pri
mary object was to teach its members
to be good citizens and good Chris
tians, in closing he referred to the
necessity for more commodious rooms
for the central city council of the
Young Men's institute, which has quite
outgrown Its present meeting place.
Father Feeley's address was earnest
and patriotic throughout and was fre
quently Interrupted by applause.

PREPARING FOR KNIGHTS.
Work of Decorating the Building Has
Already Begun Details All
Well ia Hand.
Scranton on several similar occasions
in past years has never contained the
nag and bunting decorations that will
be displayed next Monday. Tuesday
and Wednesday, the days of the con
clave of the grand commandery.
Knights Templar.
The Hotel Jermyn, Wyoming house,
Valley house. Traders' National bank.
Coal Exchange, new board of trade
building, and, in fact, all the large
structures In the business section and
the houses along the proposed line of
Tuesday's parade will be a mass ot col
ors. A large number of store proprie
tors have arranged to decorate their
places of business Independent of the
general display of bunting on the build
ings In which the stores ure located.
Several of these Individual decorations
will Include electric displays at night.
The work of decorating the massive
Hotel Jermyu and other buildings has
already been started and the same la
true of other large structures.
As the Interval preceding the time for
the conclave shortens It becomes appar
ent that the executive committee hav
ing in charge the general arrangements
fur the gathering has performed Its
work well. The thousand and one de
tails Involved In such a great undertak
ing have all been attended to and from
now until Monday the executive com
mittee and large number of sub-committees
will be busily occupied only In
seeing that their plans and orders are
curried out. Thus far no unforseen con
tingency has presented Itself without
being overcome.
What with Barnum, base ball and the
Knights Templar, Scranton will have
Its All of entertainment. It all will re
quire a great deal of care and foresight
in handling what may be the lurgest
crowds in the city's history.
ELECTRIC LIGHT TROUBLE.
Hearing in the Olyphant Case Yester
day Before Judge Uunstcr.
A hearing took place yesterday before
Judge Gunster In the equity suit of
Domlnlck Howard and others against
the borough of Olyphant to restrain
the council from proceeding with the
construction of a new electric light
plant. Major Everett Warren and C. P.
O'Malley are attorneys for the borough
and Attorneys I. H. Burns and J. J.
Manning represent the complainants.
The purpose of the suit was founded
on the allegation that the borough
council fraudulently let the contract
and that an unnecessarily large bill of
expense would thereby be entailed upon
the taxpayers. M. W. Cummlngs, who
was clerk of the council, when the or
dinance was passed letting the contract
was on the stand in the afternoon.
Mr. Cummlngs said that the bids
were advertised In the Scranton Truth
and Olyphant Gazette.
Further evidence will be taken today.
It is quite probable that the case will
be closed this afternoon. The allega
tions of fraud are that the contract was
let to the highest bidder. The defend
ants claim that the highest Didder was
the lowest responsible bidder.

THEY COULD NOT
RATTLE MR. GRIER
He Gave the Common Council a Parlia
aentary Exhibition Last Night.
APPEALS FROM HIS DECISIONS
Thry Were Not Effective, Tor a Ma
jority of the Members Present Were
in Favor of the Chairman's Action.
Paving Muddle is Still Muddled.
The Bpecial meeting of common coun
cil called by the outwitted Barber as
phalt adherents last night was one of
the liveliest on record. The effort to
annul council's action In reconsidering
the awarding of the contract for paving
Monroe avenue, by which It was taken
from the Barber company and given to
Dunn Bros., after five of the Barber
men had left the meeting, failed, first,
because one of the men who voted with
them last time. Gllroy, of the Seventh,
was absent, and second, because Chair
man Grler was In the chair.
The fight was made on the minutes.
When Clerk Hatton had finished their
reading Mr. Nealls attacked the por
tion relating to the reconsideration as
being Irregular and moved to strike
them out. Messrs. Oliver and Keller
argued that they were a correct record
of the proueedings and until they were
proved otherwise no part of them could
be expunged. Mr. Oliver embodied his
contention In a point of order and the
chair ruled that as the minutes were a
correct record of the nroceedings, the
point of order was well taken.
Mr. Nealls then appealed from the
decision of the chair. Messrs. Sweeney
and Regan seconding the appeal. Mr.
Grler sat back In his chulr and paid no
heed to the appeal when Mr. Nealls
placed It before him on the desk. After
a wait of a few moments Clerk Hatton
picked up the appeal and said he want
ed Instructions as to whether or not he
should put the motion. It being evident
that the chair was not disposed to do It.
"Isn't the appeul regular?" Mr. Nealls
asked.
"It is not my place," replied Mr.
Grler, "to instruct you as to the proper
method of taking an appeal from my
decision. If I wan going to take an ap
peal I would first find out how to prop
erly proceed."
GOT MORE SIGNERS.
"Maybe there ain't enough signers,
but I can get more," said Mr. Nealls,
and taking the appeal from the desk he
got Messrs. Gordon. Wenzel and Noone
to attach their signatures. When he
brought It back Mr. Grler smiled a
wicked smile and directing the clerk to
read the appeal, put It before the house,
without any explanation of his previ
ous refusal to do so. By a vote of ten
to nine the decision of the chair was
sustained, the members voting as fol
lows: Ayes Loftus. Simon Thomas, R. E.
Thomas. Flanaghan, Molr, Seamuns.
Oliver, Zeldler. Keller. Grler 10.
Nays Gordon, Regan, Wenzel, Wirth.
Seweney, Nealls, Noone. McGrall, Nor
ton. Mr. Wirth asked to change his vote
from nay to aye, but evidently the clerk
did not hear him, for he was recorded
with the nays. Mr. Gordon voted aye
under a misapprehension. Select Coun
cllman J. J. Munley, who was sitting
near by, called his attention to the mis.
take, and Mr. Seamans called the at
tention of the chair to Mr. Manley's
Interference, whereupon the chair
called Mr. Manley down. A howl went
up from the Barber men because they
feared the chair would not hear to Mr.
Gordons request, but after repeated
interruptions and culls to order! the
tu?iI'hUnHnVl"l''ed1.thttt tne St'Htle.nan's
IZ hrsdrebqeuL,0httnBed "-nea
Upon the announcement of the result
of he voting on the appeal Mr. Grler
declared the reports of committees in
anZf Mv- Nt'alls obJect-d Klng
out of the second order, the reading of
minutes as they had not been approved
C hairman urler decided that the min
utes had been approved by the action
of council In sustaining his decision,
and that he had decided that they had
been approved before Mr. Nealla raised
any objection,
MR NEALIS' DENIAL.
Mr. Nealls denied this, arguing that
that house had merely decided to sus
tain Mr. Oliver's point of order and not
to approve the minutes. He called upon
Clerk Hatton for any minute he might
have of the minutes having been ap
proved but Mr. Hatton could not find
any motion to that affect.
Mr. Nenlis appealed to the chair's
sense of fairness and justice, warned
him against doing something that
would brand him as a bulldozer, over
riding all the rules of councils and
threatened him with all kinds of dire
calamities In the future, but Mr. Grler
heeeded him not, further than to tell
him he was out of order and to direct
him to take his seat.
By way of diversion Mr. Sweeney
called the chair "an old bulldozer" and
the chair told him to either comport
himself as a gentleman or leave the
room. Mr. Sweeney only laughed at
this.
This kind of thing went on for quite a
time. Messrs Nealls and Sweeney ob
jecting to everything and contending
that council was still In the second or
der of business, consideration of the
minutes, the chair proceeding amidst
all the turmoil with his calls for re
ports of committees in their regular
order and the subsequent orders of
business.
Mr. Noone made a motion to adopt
the minutes, excepting the portion re
lating to reconsideration, but the chair
was deaf. To end the agony Mr. Sea
mans made a motion to adjourn but
It was lost, the vote being as follows:
Ayes Loftus, R. E. Thomas, Flana
ghan, Molr, Wirth, Seamans, Oliver,
Keller, Grler 9.
Nays Gordon, Simon Thomas, Re
gan. Wenzel, Sweeney, Nealls, Zeldler,
Noone, McGrall, Norton 10.
MR. NEALIS APPEALS.
Mr. Nealls started out In pacific tones
to appeal for a calm consideration of
the very much muddled affair, but be
fore he had proceeded far his Indescre
Hon got the better of him and he made
the Insinuation that Mr. Keller, Mr.
Flannigan, Mr. Moir, Mr. Seamans and
the othersknewthey were in the wrong
and stood by the chair because It was
of some interest to themselves.
Mr. Flannlchan falrlv exploded with
Indignation at the accusations and In i
replying to it said that the man who
would give a contract to a Arm that
was the highest bidder should not stand
up to question the actions of men who
were heeding the voice of their con
science and the voice of the people. He
could not do as they had done, he said,
and thus bring disgrace upon himself
and his family. There was no reply to
Mr. Flunnlghan's remarks.
When the sixth order of business, the
Introduction of new measures was an
nounced, Messrs. Nealls and Sweeney
gave up their efforts to convince the
chair that they were still In the second
order and recognized the order of busi
ness, as declared by the chair, by Intro
ducing a resolution declaring as null
ani void the action of council at the last
meeting In reconsidering the awarding
of the paving contract by a motion made
by a member who voted In the minority,
and directing the president to certify
to select council the resolution awarding
the contract to the Barber Asphalt com
pany, Mr. Orler promptly ruled the resolu
tion out of order, alleging that tt was
In the same category as the other
measures he had refused to entertain.
Mr. Keller also contended that the res
olution waa.out of order aa It waa vlr-
'oil... .Jic -. .
tually a reconsideration of a reconsider
ation and negatived the minutes.
Mr. Nealls made another appeal from
the decision of the chair, but the chair
refused to entertain, the appeal, and
proceeded to call for ths regular order
until the tenth order, adjournment, was
reached. A motion to adjourn was
made by Mr. Seamans. but it was lost
by the same vote as in the preceeding
case, ten to nine.
Mr. Noone moved to go bark to the
sixth order, but Chairman Crier de
clared him out of order ruling that the
only buslne before the house was ad
journment and saying that he would
entertain no motion except a motion to
adjourn.
"Well then." said Mr. Sweeney "in the
absence of a chairman I move that
the clerk call Mr. Nealls to preside."
PROVOKED LAUGHTER.
The laughter which this sally provoked
was heartily Joined In by both sides of
the house, the spectators and the chair
man himself.
Then by a viva vore vote, the chair
declared the house adjourned, despite
Mr. Nealls' call for the ayes and nays
and his protest that the motion to ad
journ was out of order because the lust
preceding motion was on adjournment.
There were some lively exchanges be
between the members as they were leav
ing the chamber and warnings that the
night's doings would not be forgotten.
SOME WONDERFUL FEATS.
Being Performed by the Sages, Mes
merists, at the Academy.
The Sages continued their feats of
mesmerism and hypnotism last night
at the Academy of Music. If possible,
the rformuru-e created more wonder
than did the one on the opening night
when the more tironounced feats were
practiced upon the Sages' agents. Last
night the act of piercing the arm with
a hat -pin waa performed on a man
named Martin, of Carbondale. It waa
done with his consent, and he walked
among the audience with the pin stuck
beneath about an Inch of the akin on
his forearm.
A son of Prof. F. E. Wood was placed
in a state of catllepsey and his rigid
form placed on the backs of two chairs
located several feet from each other.
Mr. Sage then stood on the young man's
body.
When tho entertainment began, 33
subjects responded to the invitation to
go upon the stage, and 27 were soon
found to be susceptible. During the
feats which followed one of the subjects,
a lad about 16 years old. was caught
"faking" and was requested to leave
the stage.
All of yesterday hundreds of curious
persons peered Into the display win
dow of Dunn's furnishing goods Btore
where Milton Balsnlger lay sleeping. He
is the young man who was placed in a
hypnotic state Monday night and who
is expected to sleep until this evening,
a period of forty eight hours, when he
will be carried on the cot to the Acad
emy stage and awakened. Mr. Sage
