VERY LIVELY FIGHTING.
Tcok Place Saturday Night at Washing
ton Avenue and Hickory Street.
Four Arresta Were Made.
Every Saturday night, as a rule, there
is a fight in, around or about South
Washington avenue and Hickory
street. Last Saturday night it as- I
sinned tho proportions of a riot. Tho :
belligerents were the rag-tag and bob-
tall of the two factions of the Polish j
church. The antl-Aust faction held u
meeting nt the saloon. Several of tho I
other crowd got around after the meet- :
Ing was over and attempted to mingle I
with the nntls. The result was, as may !
be supposed, a free light. Twenty or j
thirty men wefo engaged and blood
flowed.
In tho midst of the scrimmage Special
Ollicor Lawrence Dulilgg appeared on
the scene and attempted to interpose
tho majesty of the law. The fecial
ofliccr and the majesty of the law were
used to sweep the lloor with. It might
have gone ill with tho special olllcer
had nut Patrolmen Rtdgeway and
Parry arrived on the scene and quelled
the disturbance.
As a result of the figure which beer
glasses, cuspidors, knives and police
men clubs cut in the affair there were
many badly bruised and battered Po-
landers. Special Olllcer Duhigg was 1
also pretty badly used up. The two I
patrolmen managed to arrest four of I
the belligerents. They were Mike Was- j
bon, (.; corse Melyborn, Marsha Stone- I
fof and John P.utka. Matyhurn was I
cut ubout the head so severely that
Police Surgeon Fulton was called to j
attend him. Tho others also bore pain- j
fill murks of the scrimmage. Illusion, j
who was recognized as the man who j
struck Special Olllcer Duhigg over tin; 1
head with a beer tap, paid a tine of $10 I
and luul to put $." more to reimburse j
the olllcer for IiU broken hat. Matz- j
horn mid ftulka were fined $10 apiece. ;
St'iuefof, who, It afterwards developed, i
tried to lirotect the olllcer, was dis- i
charged without a fine. Friends came ;
around and settled the score for tho !
oilier three ami they went their way.

members of various organizations,
marched nt the head of a procession
of tu carriages, and besides these then
were fully 500 other mourners and sym
pathizing friends and neighbors. The

the northern division and so general
was the desire among railroad men uil

BIG MEETING OF '
THE CAR MAKERS
Was Addressed by William Connell and
Major Everett Warren.
AN ABUNDANCE OF ENTHUSIASM
Meeting of the Republican County
Committee Saturday-Washington's
Farewell Address Read lie
Tore the llryan and Sewall Club.
Republican and Democratic Pri
ninriefWhat the Prohibitionists
Are Doiug This Campaign.
If any doubt had existed as to the at
titude of the employes In the Delaware,
Luckawanna and Western shops cn
the present great national issue that
doubt was dispelled during the noon
hour on Saturday when about 1,000 of
them gathered in the construction shop
nnd were addressed by William Cou
ncil, tho Republican candidate for con
gress, and Major Everett Warren. To
Five the men an opportunity to cot
their dinner the meeting was not called
until 12.25 o'clock at which hour hun
dreds of oil and dlrt-begrlmed me
chanics and laborers were gathered In
front of the construction shop on South
Washington avenue.
Inside the big structure a space had
been cleared and a stand erected for
the speakers and officers and seats ar
ranged for the listeners. The accom
modations for the latter were, however,
far from sufficient and fully as many
were standing: as were seated. Their
apparent Interest, quietness nnd alert
ness to observe and hoar everything
during the meeting; their scrambling
to possess some of the literature that
was afterward distributed; their wrapt
attention to the speakers, and their
applause at frequent Intervals all this
put the lie to the statement made In
Saturday's "Only Democratic" dally
that the men were "forced" to attend.
That there was a screw loose some
where In the Times' ar.tlcle was quite
apparent from Its "newsy" statement
concerning a speech that was never
delivered and In Its crediting to Major
Warren a harangue against the Demo
cratic party that was never even
hinted.
The gathering was arranged by the
Delawnre, Lackawanna and Western
Employes' McKinlev Sound Money club
ami was Introduced by several selec
tions by Guth's band in front of the
sheqis. As soon as the large throng hud
entered the building someone proposed
three cheers "for William Connell, the
next congressman," and they were giv
en heartily.
J. L. Mcdway, president of the club,
called the meeting to order and Intro
duced Major Warren, who. In a 15
ntlnule speech and without any effoit
to be eloquent, made a simple but lucid
reference to the issues of the campaign
ami announced himself as content to
abide by the sober judgment of Ameri
can voters.
The president then introduced Mr.
Connell as one "who knew what It was
to labor" and was competent to "rep
resent the views of laboring men." Mr.
Connell announced thnt the great na
tional questions of the present were
different than In past years, In that
they were so well defined that It was
not necessary to hunt for them.
Thoughtful men would view the situa
tion and do what was right without
being prejudiced.
Mr. Connell explnlned how the "liver
mine owners of the far West were try
ing to make their personal interest tho
Interest of the whole united States.
He closed with a brief reference to tho
protective principles of the Republican
party and announced thnt If elected to
the office for which he had been nom
inated he would "be true to the people
of his own class."
Thin last reference to Mr. Connell's
Identification with tho workers of the
Lackawanna valley was received with
a salvo of upplause and cheers ilunii'f
which the speaker took his seat. Tho
platform. In addition to the speakers
and President Medway, was occupied
by Frank McFarland nnd A. ... Suth
erland, two of the club's vice-presidents.
Frank D. Glover, the secretary,
occupied a position near the stage. At
the. conclusion of the meetins, though
no such arrangements nnd been ir.nde
or announced, scores of workingmen
llled past the platform and shook lmndi
with Mr. Connell.
Altogether, the gathering seemed ir
emphasize the truthfulness of the
statement frequently made that labor
would be true to Republicanism and
that it recognized a filend in Wii'lain
Connell.
There was another largely attended
meeting of the Republican county com
mittee Snturday afternoon. Encourag
ing reports were heard from nil parts
of tho county, and the indications are
that the vote that will be given to all
of the Republican candidates on Nov.
3 will be a grievous disappointment to
the Fopoerats who seriously predict
that Lackawanna will line up In tho
Mlvcr column. Before the campaign
closes it Is the Intention of the Repub
lican managers to bring some of the
leading sound money orators here to
discuss the Issues of the campaign.
At a meeting of the Bryan and Sewall
club in Industrial hall Saturday night
Attorney D. J. Reedy read Washing
ton's farewell address upon his retire
ment to private life, and short ad
dresses were made by John P. Quin
nnn, M. J. Donnhoe, Edward Merrl
ficld and L. M. Bunnell.
A telegram received by C. O. Boland
from State Chairman Gorman Satur
day night conveyed the Information
that if Candidate for President Bryan
comes to this city it will be on Wednes
day afternoon or Thursday of this
week. In the event of Mr. Bryan's vis
it and the weather permitting he will
speak from a platform that will be
erected on court house square.
Saturday afternoon the Republicans
of the Fourth legislative district held
primaries and elected delegates to at
tend a convention which will be held
in Ledyard's hall, Peckville, on Tues
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. When a
candidate for legislature will be named.
There are two persons prominently
named for the honor, John H. Reynolds,
of Carbondale, and P. A. Phllbin, of
Archbald.
Delegates were elected by the First
district Democrats Saturday to attend
a convention to be held Tuesday af
ternoon in O'Donnell's hall. Providence,
when a candidate for legislature to op
pose John R. Farr will be named. Rome
of the candidates mentioned are James
P. McCann, Attorney C. R. Pitcher,
William Luce. Jacob Smith, T. J. Jen
nings. P. J. Farrell, John A. La Bar,
O. P. Miller and F J. O'Con
nor. Little Interest was shown in Sat
urday's primaries and In several
districts no votes were cast, the
vigilance committee agreeing upon
some !erson as the one to receive the
credentials.
The Prohibitionists are embarked in
real earnest In rhU campaign. J. M.
Howell, of Green Ridge, has been com
missioned organiser and has formed
Prohibition leagues in Carbondale,
Peckville, Madlsonvllle and Green
Ridge. At the head of the county com
mittee are Calvin Parson, of Dalton,
chairman, and II. M. Walton, of this
city, secretary. Arrangements are be
ing made to have Joshua Levering, of
Baltimore, their candidate for presi
dent, and Samuel Dickie, of Albion,
Mich., chairman of the national com
mittee, address a meeting in this city
in October.
HIS HEAD SQUEEZED BETWEEN CARS.
Timothy Costello, of Chariot Street,
Perhaps Fatnlly Injured.
Timothy Costello, of Charles Btreet,
was very seriously Injured Saturday
In the Marvlne shaft and he may die
as the result. He Is a young man and
was employed as runner.
While Irving to couple two cars that
were In motion his hand was squezsed j
between tho ton frames, and it is a
wonder that it was not mashed. He
cried for help immediately and was j
rescued in quick time, but the impact
of the cars was of such force that he
Is in a very dangerous condition.
FORGER LASALLE CAUGHT
He Operated Here Less Than a Year Afo.
Came to the End of His Rope
In New York.
Less than a year ago Claude B. La
salle came to Scranton and secured a
position as advertising manager on the
journal Issued by the Young Men's
Christian association. After ingratiat
ing himself into tho confidence of sev
eral business people, he passed a num
ber of worthless checks on them, none
of them being of a large amount, but
the aggregate was quite large.and then
he left town.
He was arrested last Friday night in
New York by detectives, and with him
was a companion named Samuel Huge,
both engaged In the same kind of busi
ness and wanted by the police of more
than fifty cities of the United States.
The offense upon which he was arrest
ed was obtaining money on a $150 forg
ed check from R. G. Duval, a real es
tate dealer of Shelter Island.
Recently Lasalle was touring the
New England states and he worked all
the summer resorts from New York to
Boston. He never stayed more than a
day In one city and it was difficult to
keep track of him. He was drunk In
bed In a saloon at tho corner of Third
avenue and Tenth street when the de
tectives placed him under arrest.
He belongs to a highly respectable
family of Orange, N. J., and is a gradu
ate of Harvard college. He married a
woman who Is related to President
Cleveland, and she still sticks to him
and travels with him though he Is
disowned by nil others of his family
and friends. It is estimated that he
has made $250,000 by his swindling op
erations, but that he has very little of
it left.
AMUSEMENTS.
At the Acadtmy of Musio tonight
"Cleopatra" .will be the attraction. Ed
mund Collier and Mary Emerson will
be the principals. There Is no doubt
but what Shakespeare embellished with
beautiful scenery, rich costumes, tha
various light effects, such as calcium,
electric and gas effects known to the
modern stage. Is more entertaining
than he is without these adjuncts.
Music of an oriental character, sung
by a well drilled chorus, dance of an
Egyptian nature, danced by beauti
ful Ballerinas, varl-eolorcd lights, a
realism in the storm scene not excelled
by anything, not even the modern
drama, are used to Illustrate the ac
tion of the drama.
On Thursday evening, Sept. 24, tha
pretty and accomplished comedienne,
Emily Bancker, and a company espe
cially selected, will present the amus
ing farcinl comedy, "OurFlat,"ln which
she has so successfully starred the
last 'two seasons. Young, ambitious
and beautiful, with a rare endowment
of keen perception for nil that Is artis
tic, refined and graceful in connection
with her art, Bhe has quickly but suro
ly reached a position of positive promi
nence seldom vouchsafed to one so
young. The play, "Our Flat," Is by
Mrs. Musgrave, who must be credited
with having written one of the clever
est comedies of recent times. It Is no
wonder that the play Is rapidly going
to the front as one of the most popu
lar In the line of farce. It Is full of un
expected situations that fairly crowd
each other, and is one continual roar
of laughter and applause from the rise
to the final fall of the curtain. "Our
Flat" ran over 700 nights In London,
and 100 nights at Daniel Frohman's
fashionable Lyceum theatre, New
York. The cast Includes Will Mande
ville, Philip II. Rylt y. George W. Par
sons, H. D. James and other prominent
players.
Flynn and Sheridan's big sensation
double show comes to Davis' theater
for the second engagement today, to
remain until Wednesday night. On Its
Hi st coming, last Christmas-time, It
attracted the heaviest business the the
ater had ever enjoyed. And this was
unquestionably the result of sheer
merit. To a large number of people the
announcement that this show Is com
ing is all thnt needs to ! said to se
cure their attendance. We advise peo
ple to go afternoons, if possible, to
avoid the crush at night.
Attention.

COMPANY HAS NOT
YET BROUGHT SUIT
Its Workmen on Ablngtoa Turnpike Will
Again Be Arrested.
WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS DONE
Wanted to Fight the Matter Out to a
Finish Once and Tor All--8pecia
Meeting of Common Council Will
Be Held Tonicht to Consider Reto.
lutiontCondemnation Proceed
ingt Are Talked Of.
The arrangement entered Into by the
attorneys of the city and the Provi
dence and Abington Turnpike company
before Alderman Millar Thursday, lias
fallen through. The company agreed
to file a suit against the city Friday or
Saturday that a case stated might be
submitted as a means of amicably ad
justing the existing differences, but the
company failed to keep Its part of the
agreement and now the city proposes to
havo the troubles adjusted otherwise
than amicably.
The first step decided upon is to re
arrest the gang of workmen now en
gaged In repairing the road and to keep
on arresting them as long as they con
tinue to defy the Btreet commission
er's orders. This course must invari
ably bring about an official Interpreta
tion of the recent decision of Justice
Williams, of the Supreme court, which
one side reads one way and the other
another.
It will also prevent the piling up of
a big bill for repairs which the city
would be called upon to pay If it should
be the loser In the suit. S. B. Price,
the attorney for the city, was so cer
tain that the city would win that he
agreed to allow the company to con
tinue the repairing. The company is
building a macadam roadway, and as
this will. It is estimated, cost $70,000.
councils felt that It was too much to
risk on the uncertain outcome of a law
suit.
ACTION OF COUNCILS.
That councils did not approve of the
"amicable" business was attested by
the action of the select branch, Thurs
day night, when resolutions were
passed dismissing Mr. Price, the special
attorney, directing the street commis
sioner to arrest all but city workmen
found repairing the rood, and instruct
ing the city solicitor to go before the
grand Jury and ask for the condemna
tion of the turnpike.
That the condemnation proceedings
nfay be Instituted before the adjourn
ment of the sessions of the present
grand Jury, a special meeting of com
mon council has been called for to
night to concur in the action of the up
per branch. The commonmen have
been canvassed and are almost a unit
In favoring the resolutions. Mayor
Bailey has Indicated that his signature
will not be withheld any great length
of time after the measures come be
fore him. It Is therefore confidently
expected that the petition for the con
demnation of the road will go before
the grand Jury tomorrow.
NOT A DISMISSAL.
To correct any false Impression that
might arise, It might be stated paren
thetically, that the only reason for Mr.
Price's dismissal Is that City Solicitor
Torrey, who was formerly attorney for
the Turnpike company, Is now free to
net for the city, and It Is deemed un
necessary now to continue the extra
expense of a special attorney.
