The parade took place at 8 o'clock and was headed by 'Bauer's band. About one hundred members of the order, each wearing: a. whits cap and a souvenir badge, were in- line. Mr. Reed, Frank Martin, past exalted ruler; Dr. P. F, Ounster, dltsrict deputy, and C. Ben Johnson, of Wilkes-Barre, past district deputy, rode in carriages and were fol lowed by the marchers.

Elliot Ross delivered an eloquent address of accept ance. Then followed the enjoyment which has made the social sessions fa mous. Speeches of no little event' were made by C. Ben Johnson and Attorney John M. Harris. Others spoke in a lighter vein. The session was featured by the uaual Imposing of ludicrous fines. The committee, of arrangements for the session were Fred.

FORMER STATE FACTORY INSPECTOR He Came Here to See if the Contract Labor Lnw Has Been Violated. Left for Philadelphia This Morning, but Will Return in Ten Days to Resume the Investigation. Robert Watchorn, formerly state fac tory inspector, now an Inspector of im migration at Ellis Island In New York harbor, spent the past two days Jn the city and left at G o'clock this morning for Philadelphia. He' Will ' return to Scranton In ten days and resume the business on which he was engaged when he left. Inspector Watchorn was detailed to Scranton to Investigate the manner in which the contract labor law Is ob served In the Lackawanna coal fields. The news has been received at the bureau of Immigration that foreigners In large numbers have come across the water, under contract to work in the mines or labor on the railroads when they arrived. Last year nearly a thousand men were deported, who had come here under contract. Inspector Watchorn said that a mistaken notion prevails thnt a man In this country can write to a friend in the old country and tell him to come over and. that there Is a job waiting for hlrn when he arrives. VIOLATION OF THE LAW. That constitutes a violation of the contract labor law as fully as if a pa drone were to go across the sea and hire a shipload over there. The laborer here is crowded out of work In either Instance. If a man sails for America to better his condition and does so on the strength of assurances received by letter that there Is work and good wages here for every man of Industry,, that is a different case. Such as that Is not a violation of the contract labor law. It is not necessary that a man need be a boss. For instance, a Polish citi zen may be working in this or that mine, or on that or the other railroad, or in any shop, factory, or mill. He says to his foreman that he has a cousin, brother, friend, or acquaintance In Poland, who would come to Soranton If he were sure of a Job. The foreman tells him to write and say ithat there will be a Job waiting for the individual when ho arrives. That Is a violation, and the penalty Is $1,000 fine on the person 'who Is In strumental In bringing tho person here. The latter is punished by being sent back on the next boat. The law knows no country or government. It would be the same with the Englishman, Ger man, Irish, French, Italian, or a Can adian. FINE WOULD BE THE SAME. A contractor who would make ar rangements to bring 600 men Into' the country under contract would be fined $1,000 for each one, and the whole lot would be shipped back from whence they came. No speciflo charge has been made that there are many contract laborers In and around Scranton and In the towns and villages lying between here and Carbondale, dependent on the coal industry. Some information that he obtained yesterday on a visit to Olyphant was that there are 4,000 people In that borough and in the borough of Blakely who cannot talk a single word of English. : .. One would not need to do much guess lng.he said, to be certainthatamongthat number there are at least 26 per cent, who were brought over by friends who se cured Jobs for them in advance. There is much difficulty in finding out this fact from these people, but Inspector Watch horn Is going to enter into the work here when he returns and he will de vote a good deal of time to It. He is an Intimate friend of Hon. T. V. Powderly and they spent an hour to gether In the letter's office yesterday afternoon talking over day's gone by. DICKSON CITY CONTEST. Hearing Before the Commissioners in O'Brien Keller's Office. In the contested election cases of the Second ward of Dickson City borough a hearing took place yesterday In O'Brien Kelley's office. Mr, O'Brien appeared for the respondents and ex Judge Stanton for the contestants, Attorney M. J. McAndrew took aten ograhlo notes of the testimony. At torneys H. W. Mulholland and J. E. Watklns are the commissioners. Harry McGarrlty was recalled to tell why his naturalisation papers aay he is a native of Ireland, when as a matter of fact he was born In Scot land. He laid the blame' On Judge Archbald. John Milter was called and swore that he did not write his- name on the petition of the contestants.. Later on he admitted he gave his permission to another man to sign for him. Robert Want, William Carris, George as It Will Look When Cooper, Cephas Cooper, John Gray, Au gust Smith and John Itcese were sworn and they qualified as voters. The hear ing adjourned to meet next Tuesday. ST. LUKE'S SUMMER HOME. Apslieatioa for Admission Received by C. B. Herman. St. Luke's Bummer Home at Lake Ariel Is open.

A meeting of the county committee of the Populists was held last night in ex Judge iStanton's office. Letters were read from ex-Congressman Joseph C. Sibley and Hon. Chauncey Forward Black, to whom invitations were sent to attend the ratification meeting which the Populists propose to hold on, very probably, Friday evening, August 14. Messrs. Sibley and Black will be un able to come, the former having entered the congressional race In his district and the latter being busy with the details of national and state campaign clubs. Mr. Sibley has made forty engagements to lecture, but both he and Mr. Black ex pressed the hope to be able to come to Scranton before November and expound the doctrine contained In the Chicago platform. M. J. Coleman expressed his opinion Concerning the free silver movement wnue the nnanciai ana economic ques tions of government are intricate and not clear to understand, he believed that It is sufficient argument for every man earning an honest livelihood to be against the bankers and money grab bers of the country. "When you see these fellows all combine," he said, "you can rest assured that they are hatching aome foul conspiracy." The committee talked over the details for the ratification meeting and It was the unanimous sentiment that Friday evening, August 14,'will be a good date; this was not definitely settled, however, for the reason that an effort will be made to bring Candidate Bryan to Scranton. Judge Stanton will write to National Chairman Jones to see whether or not Mr. Bryan can come. Suit for Slander. Mary Zachwlch. a young woman liv ing on Penn avenue, represented by Attorney M. W. Lowry, began an action of .trespass yesterday in court against John Bartuchewlts for $1,000 damages for slander.

Wants to Marry Ills Niece. Samuel Jesyn and Lena Jesyn want ed a marriage license yesterday after noon, but they didn't get It.
