The Scranton Stove works employes participated In tin excursion to Lake Ariel yesterday and on the return trip a drunken man uncoupled the curs while the train was passing through Wlm mers at a fast rate of speed. The ac- I tlon might have caused a catastrophe had not the conductor of the train quickly replaced the coupling pin. This was possible owing to the down grade of the track at that point. The would-be train wrecker was ar rested by Detective David Ris-he, who was on the train, and when Scranton was reached he was placed In the cen tral police station. The prisoner would not divulge his name last night for fear that the news would reach his parents. He Is a young man and Is an employe of the stove works. His home Is in John son's patch. The train conductor will appear against him this morning. MORE EQUITY SUITS. Supervisors or Lackawanna Town, ship Are the Plaintin's. Attorney Charles E. Olver, acting for William H.

Lon( Time Before the Leggett's Creek Aline Will ResumeLocation, of the Fall ' According to a statement made by Plreboss Isaac Price, of tlie Leggett's Creek mine, which was closed down Thursduy morning, owing to a settling, work will not be resumed for at least one month. A large quantity of gas which accumulated since the shut-down was wholly expelled yesterday. The affected area is not, as was at first supposed, directly under that por tion of the North End known as "the Notch," but is beneath the area lying between Charles and Wales streets, about 600 yards from the foot of the shaft. Four hundred men are thrown out of employment by the fall. YAGLE'S DEATH EXPLAINED. .Vo Doubt but That He Was Killed on the Huilroud. Coroner Longstreet was informed last night of a circumstance which removes the doubt as to the death of William F. Yakle. of Little England, Wednes day night on the Delaware, Lacka wanna & Western tracks. As that day was pay day and only $1.36 was In 1U pockets when found, this led to the suspicion that he wus robbed and mur dered. Bernard Thuuer, of Ash street In formed the coroner that Yugle was In his place that evening und was un der the Influence of liquor. He took $25 out of his pockets, placed It In an envelope, and left it with Mr. Thuuer. Soon after he left, the news come back tin' t a man was killed on the railroad. -.. MONETARY CONDITIONS. Sudden Chances Brought About by Sen national Collapse in Chicago. Dun & Company's Review. New York, Aug. 7. R. O. Dun & Co. In their Weekly Review of Trade to morrow will say: The sensational collapse of ppecula tors at Chicago who controlled Diamond Match and New York biscuit stocks and had hoisted them to fancy figures, with the consequent closing of the Chicago Stock Exchange for a period yet In definite, though followed by remark ably few failures, brings a sudden change in monetary conditions through out the country. At least a month earlier than had been expected Chicago has drawn heavily upon its bank bal ances here, and withdrawals of other western funds may naturally result. Europe was also moved to sell American stocks rather freely, so that the aver age of sixty of the most active ruilroud stocks fell about 2.18 per share and the average of trust stocks about I. IN. It Is Important that the increase of merchandise of exports, llS.ooo or 12 per cent, over last year for the week, and the decrease of Imports $700,000, or 7.7 per cent., still continues to limit the stun payable abroad. Labor is more disturbed than usual. The great strike at Cleveland has bro ken out again and Involves several branches of labor. The Iron furnace men of the Chenango Valley resist a re duction to their wages of May, lSlt.1, though Mahoning valley workers do not; the iron workers throughout the coun try are striving to cut down cost In order to keep in operation; tlie Iron mines of the Oogebic range are stop ping; the suspension of cotton mills has become more general and over four million spindles are said to be idle at Fall River alone, and probably three eighths or more of the entire, producing capacity In the country, tlie rubber works have mostly Btopped, and not withstanding the light weight opening, a number of woolen, mills. Evidently the working force and wages haw been reduced. Failures in July, classified by branch es of business, say lurger liabilities in the lumber than In any other manufac turing class. Failures have been 240 in the I'nlted States against 22.1 last year and 32 In Canada aguinst 42 last year. ! Horry Millnr's Appointment. Harry D.

The coroner's Jury Investigation In the recent railroad collision on the Meadows, by which 44 lives were lost and many Injured, re turned three verdicts this evening. The first verdict: We, the Jury empanelled to Investigate the cause of death of P. W. Goldsmith and others, do find that the said persons whose bodies we have viewed, came to their death by a collision of express No. 23, on the Atlantic iCty railroad, and ex cursion train No. 7no on the West Jersey and Seashore ruilroad, at a point known as the Meadow tower, near Atlantic City, on the 30th of July. ISM. at or about ii.4s p. m. (Signed) Churles Evans, foreman; Thomas J. Dlekerron, J. B. Champion. Levi C. Alberslon, Charles B. Adams, all the Jurois. The second Verdict reads: We. the undersigned Jurors, also find that Ensineer Erward Farr. of the At lantic City railroad, failed to have his engine under proper control on uiiproacn Ing said crossing, uud that Towerman George F. Hauser In giving the excursion truin of the West Jersey ruilroad the right of way over a fast express, used bad Judgment. We ulso ure of the opinion thut Engineer John Orelner of said ex cursion train, erred in not exercising greater care on crossing uhead of said fast express. (Slgnedl Churles Evans, foreman: Thomas J. IHekerson, Charles B. Adams. The third verdict Is as follows: The undersigned Jurors are of the opin ion thut the cause of the collision was the failure of Edward Fair, engineer of train No. 23, to give heed ill time to the seina. phore signals set ugulust him, uud thus failed to huve his train under proper con trol on appioarhlug the signals und cross lug under the rules.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. Under this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by the writer's name. The Tribune will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expressed. J The President's Proclamation. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: The president's proclamation touch ing upon the neutrality laws, Is an ex traordinary document, considering thu fact that it isi Issued lo tlie people of he I'nlted Stales ul the close of the nine, teenth century, a period when the last vestiges or tyranny and human oppres sion upon the American continent, uml its adjacent islands, should be forever wiped out. and the clang of the tyrant's chain no longer heard ulong the coasts of the new world. But the president has simply acted In his executive capacity. Tile neu trality laws appear upon the statute books; they are the enactments of our national congress, and the spirit, pro visions and implication of these laws give the president the right to proclaim them, and to demand their enforcement. But whut should be the import of our neutrality laws when we come to deal with nutlons on this side of the Atlantic, who, like the "American colonies" have done, endeavor to remove the shackles which bind them to a yoke entirely for eign to the principles of American repub licanism? Are our neutrality laws con strued and enacted In accordance with the spirit of the Monroe doctrine? It Is not our province to question whut might be termed the tolerant spirit of our neutral ity laws; but it is evident thut the wis dom of our laws should be conducive to the best Interests of America. The line of demarkutlon should be drawn between republican principles .of freedom, and the Imperial und despotic notions of freedom peculiar to the monarchical governments of Europe antiquated notions which are not In accord with the advancement of the oge. The declaration of American In dependence Is the grandest and most lib eral Instrument of human freedom ex tant. It Is the standard by which we should be guided when we speak of iu--cording freedom to other struggling peo ples. The sous of Cuba are today Inspired with the force which the thoughts or free dom imparts; and it is neutral, though prohibited by neutral laws, that the sym puthy und material aid of some of the residents of the I'nlted States should be extended to the Cubans. History hereby simply repeats Itself, of which fact Texas presents an Instance worthy of mention. The history of Texas may be summed up In the past six decades, and allusion' to it shows that the Texan movements for freedom were similar to the advance made by the Cubans ut the present time. In l.v'l. when Mexico and Texas had de clared their Independence from Spanish rule. It was evident that Texas would ascend to a clearer state of freedom, more congenial to the Texan mind than thut enjoyed by the Mexicans. Accord. Ingly. in 1S35. Hie present "Lone Star State" raised the standard of independ ence. Residents of the I'nlted Sla'es then went to her assistance, and helped to win her buttles. The same form of atrocity was then dealt to the Tex.'tns which marks the course of Spanish rule In Cuba. "Eight thousand" Mexicans mas sacred the "feeble gurrlson" at Fort Al amo on the lith of March. 1835, among the massacred being Hon. David Crocket, ex member of congress from Tennessee. In the following month .t lit- buttle of San Janelnto decided the victory for Texas, which was acknowledged by the i'nlted States, Great Britain and France. Gen eral Sam Houston! who led the Texans to victory, was a Virginian. He was a man whose strength or character, determina tion and luce of freedom hud made bis name memorable In connection with the freedom of Texus. even though his namn might not have been placed in the cate gory of "flilibiisters." Tlie histories of the Greek colonies, the supremacy of Athens: the conquest of Macedonia and Greece by the Roman", and the history of Rome itself. Carthage and all the nations or Western Europe, show how fierce have been the struggles for Imperial supremacy or the freedom of the people us the case might have been. And as the hlstoriun carlres his thoughts back to that age which marked the sum mit of Pagan glory, and down through the Mediaeval ages, and In the period of time, when Spain herself struggled man fully for her political existence, when her Ibariun tr'bes and Phoenician colonies were subdued by the Curthuginians. who themselves, In their turn were overpow ered by the Romans, he perceives through out tlie historic Held thut the struggle for freedom 'prevailed then as it does now. And so It shall continue in Cuba until the despotic sway of Svialn in the Cuiibbeun sea shall drop Into history as an event of the past. At the present time the geographical importance of Cuba and Its proximity to the Vnlled Slates may not have received that degree of consideration which they merit. Sicily in the .Mediterranean stands prominent in the annals of ancient his tory. Cuba washed by the waters of the Caribbean and the adjacent islands In Mr Atlantic, shall yet act a prominent part in the history of the American continent. What relation do the Islands of Great Britain and Irelund bear to Western Europe: and the Islands of Japan to Eeust. era Asia geographically, commercially and politically? Comparatively. the "West Indies" should stand In the same relation to the eastern coast of the Amer ican cont'nent. Martin Joyce. Scranton, Aug. fi. El SCRANTON DSIVING PARK, AUGUST 8, I8S6, 2 30 P.
