WAS MUCH PLEASED
Warmly Appreciated the Invitation ol
the Scranton Committee, bat ,
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COME HERE
Editor Ilcatuisb Presents Mrs. Bryan
with One ol the Badges Wora by the
$crnutou Delegation 'He Secured
a Mocking Bird While in New York.
Is It for Vidnvcrt
Editor R. J. Beamish, accompanied
by a mocking bird and a hand that
shook this hand of Bryan, returned
last night from New York, where ho
attended Wednesday night's notifica
tion meeting in .Madison Square Car
den, lie was also a member of the
committee of Scrant-inians who waited
upon Candidate Bryan Thursday
morning and asked him to deliver an
address In Hcranton.
Mr. Bryan received the committee
with great cordiality and with refer
ence to coming to the Electric City
said he might and then again he might
not, but he did not want to be under
stood by this as binding himself to
come or stay away.
Mr. Bryan met the committee In the
Windsor hotel. It consisted of nearly
all of the Scrar.tonians who went to
Now York, this furnishing a good op
portunity for them to study the "Boy
Orator" at close tange. City Tnasim r
C. O. Boland acted as spokesman f.-.r
the committee. The original Intention
was to have Mayor Builey act In that
capacity, but for some reason the
mayor did not to Now York, anJ
hen Mayor James' J. O'Neill of Carbon
dale was made chairman of the dele
gation. It so happened that Mr. O'Neill
had to go to Harrlsburg Immediately
after the notification meeting to attend)
a meeting of the state committee anil
Mr. Boland was a.-ked to present the
claims of Scranton to a visit from the
Democratic candidate for President.
BRYAN WAS PLEASED.
Mr. Bryan was pleased with the In
vitation he said he was and he also
said that in his far off home In the
west and while serving his country In
Washington he had often heard of
Scranton and had an earnest desire
to visit the metropolis of the jireat
anthracite coal fields but and here
Mr. Bryan paused and looked for a
moment somewhat sorrowfully at the
committee he was not to follow Ills
own Inclinations for a cruel and ex
acting national committee had tuken
him under its wing, as It were, and
he must forsooth obey its every behest.
He will rest until Sept. 1. he said, and
will then begin a campaigning tour that
will be mapped out for him by the cam
paign managers. If he Is directed to
come to Scranton he will be more than
pleased to do so. Then he nuite out
Bolanded Bidand In the way of feel
ingly shaking hands with the members
of the comimttee, ond the Interview ter
minated. The Scrantonlnns also had the pleas
ure of meeting Mrs. Bryan. She, too,
was much Interested In Scranton, and
observing on Mr. Beamish's coat one of
the badges worn by the committee, Hhe
asked it as a souvenir.
SHE GOT THE BADGE.
It Is needless to say that she got tlie
badge and a pretty compliment went
with It. The badge contained lettering
telling of the mission of the committee
and was ornamented with a small piece
of coal.
On the subject of the mocking-bird
Mr. Beumish was discreetly silent.
What part It will figure lu the present
campaign Is a matter for conjecture.
It wus rumored last night that it would
be sent by Mayor Bailey as a peace
offering to Attorney Vidaver.
If It Is, there will be trouble.

ARQUINQ A SLANDER SUIT.
Said Nichols had Robbed His Father
of Some Papers.
Arblrators yesterday heard argur
ments in the slander suit of Asa A.
Nichols aalnst AV. N. Clark, of Clark's
Summit. Attorneys John F. Scragg and
Richard H. Holgate represented Nlc
ols, and Huslander & Vosburg appear
ed for Clark.
The Blander grew out of the celebrated
Nichols contested will case. A few
weeks ago while Asa Nicols was one
day sitting In the office of Register
Hopkins Mr. Clark entered and was
greeted with the salutation: "Here
comes the man that lied in the will case
and the records wll prove it." Mr. Clark
retorted In kind, one word led up to
another and finally Clark accused Nich
ols of stealing the keys of his father's
desk and robbing him of some papers.
It was on this that action for sjunder
was based.

WEATHER EFFECTS TRADE
A Very Dull Week in Business Circ:s.
Confidence in the Stock Market
Is Restored.
New York, Aug. 14. R. G. Dun &
Company will say to-morrow In their
weekly review: The failures for the
week huve been 29S In the United
States aginst 196 lust year, and :i6 In
Canada against ".8 lust year. .An ex
traordinary spell of deadly hot weather
has affected trade throughout the
country, and In the east speculation
feeling was somewhat affected until
Thursday by apprehension of the pos
sible' Influence of the Bryan meeting.
With cooler weather there came als;
on Thursday perception that the meet
ing would not affect business unfav
orably. But other conditions were not
stimulating. According to government
reports the crops have sustained seri
ous Injuries. Labor difficulties extend
and the closing of establishments, for
want of work and the refusal of com
mercial loans by bunks, checked oper
ations In many branches of Industry
and trade. The week, therefore, closes
as the last week did, with domestic
business unusually dull for the sen
son. There Is evidence of greater con
fidence In the stock market which be
gan to appear on Monday. The aver
age of sixty of the most active ra'l
rond stocks had fallen to $40.8." pel
share, a decline of over seven per ee;it
for the .week, so that prices were ac
tually the lowest In seventeen and one
half years, since the first month aftet
specie resumption. Trust stocks had
also declined $2.78 for the wi-ek. Then
was some selling by foreign houses,
but a far more Important fuctor was
the general feeling of capitalists and
Investors here that it might not vet
be the best time to buy. Men of mora
confidence put up prices a little on
Tuesday and still more on Thursday,
so that the week closed with an ad
vance averaging 95 cents per share
forVallroads and $1.32 for trusts. Rail
road earnings for the first week tn
August were 3.1 per cant, smaller than
last year, and Chicago east bound ton
nage wns over 4 per cent, less thun
last year. The government crop re
port for August was so gloomy that n
great rise In the prices would have
followed If It had been entirely cred
ited. In fact wheat rose about ctif
half a cent, but again declined, clos
ing only a fraction higher for the
week. Corn declined throughout the
week, closing over a cent lower. Cot
ton advanced a sixteenth because nil
continued reports of Injury.

REMAINS HAVE NOT
" BEEN IDENTIFIED
Inquest Throws No Light on the Mys
terious Suicide at Archbald.
TESTIMONY OF JOHN MILLIMAN
He Gave the Deceased a Hide in His
Wagon on WednesdaySaid That
His Home Was in Scranton and
That He Was Looking for Work.
Started in Direction of Archbald.
Nothing new concerning the Identity
of the man who sought death by poison
in a field near Archbald, Wednesday,
developed at yesterday's inquest and
the only thing the jury could arrive at
was that the man had died from the
effects of laudanum taken with suicidal
Intent.
The Inquest was held In Wagner's
hotel, Archbald. The only evidence
that threw any additional light on the
mystery was that given by John Milll
mun, a storekeeper at the Ridge. He
Identified the suicide as a man he had
overtaken and given a ride while driv
ing home Wednesday. He told M 11 11
man that his home was In Scranton,
that he had been In this country about
a year, and that he was going to Peck
vllle to look for work. He did not give
his name.
When Minima n's store was reached
the stranger got down from the wagon
and walked up the road for a short dis
tance, returning, however, in a few
minutes and sitting on the store porch
for about half an hour. He then start
ed towards Archbald, and that was the
last Milllmun saw of him until he saw
his dead body In Lewis' undertaking
establishment.
It was learned yesterday that the pass
from the Wyoming Valley Traction
company's fare book No. 30.001 belonged
to Adam Wlsknlrskl. It this man can
be found It Is possible that he will be
able to tell who the suicide Is. for It Is
presumed that he gave him the fare
and that he knows him.
The poor authorities will take charge
of the remains.
BIQ DOSE OF STRYCHNINE.
Was Tnken by George II. O'Uouuell,
of Providence.
George H. O'Donnell, of Brick ave
nue, a prominent young man and until
a year ago a prosperous druggist, took
about five grains of strychnine at 9.30
o'clock Thursday night and Is now in a
most critical condition.
Mr. O'Donnell retired in good spirits,
but was only in his room a short time
when his family were summoned to his
room by cries and groans. He rapidly
lapsed into unconsciousness and not un
til the arrival of Dr. Met. a no, who was
hastily summoned, did they know the
cause of his sudden Illness. Dr. Mcl.ane
called in Dr. Jenkins and both physic

the night and attended him almost con
stantly yesterday. He was still un
conscious at 11.30 o'clock last night and
his condition continued critical. The
doctors say that there Is a possibility
of his recovery, but their hopes are very
dim.
The members of Mr. O'Donnell's fam
ily scout the idea that he took the
strychnine with suicidal intent. They
say that he was in the habit of taking
medicine every night before retiring
and by some unfortunate mistake got
hold of the strychnine Instead of his
medicine.
He has been ailing for some time and

was compelled to relinquish his drug

Springs five weeks ago and after a
