WANTED TO DUEL
WITH REVOLVERS
Wife of One of Ibe Principals Spoiled
the Affair.
DOCTORS IN A FIOHTINQ MOOD
Drs. E. Z. Bower and J. J. Sullivsm
DiaacreedThe Former It Accused
of Having Later "Made Facet" at
Dr. Sullivan and a Challenge Wat
IauedThe North End Section
Iligly Elated Over the Affair.
The prospect of a duel with revolvers
between Drs. J. J. Sullivan and E. Z.
Dower, two reputable North End phy
sicians, has thrown that section of the
city Into a delightful state of gossip
and excitement. The duel was to have
been fought at sunrise yesterday morning-,
but Dr. Bower's wife got wind of
the affair and threatened to make It so
lively for all concerned that the thing;
didn't come off.
A disagreement between the two phy
sicians at a confinement case last Fri
day wus the culmination of what had
been "bad blood" between them for
some time. An unknown friend of Dr.
Sullivan's and who (rave the name of
"Keddington" called twice on Dr. Dow
er nt the lutter's house Tuesday even
ing and urrunged for the meeting, after
Dr. ituuer hud signed a paper binding
himself not to resort to the law if he
received a challenge.
A peculiar feature of the case Is that
Drs. Sullivan, Hessey, McLaln, Daw
sun, Wehluu, J. Jenkins and W. Jenkins
are reported to have met In the Bristol
House Tuesday evening where they
were engaged In discussing" something1
mysterious) until after midnight. Drs.
Lackey, Hentley, Donne nnd Surett had
been invited to attend, but wore not
present. It was while this meeting was
In progress that "Kcddinston" made his
two visits to Dr. Hower, the first to re
ceive assurance that Dr. Bower would
not resort to the law In case a challenge
wus Issued by Dr. 8ulllvun, the second
to arrange fur a duel site and choice of
weupons.
PlIEFKHRED SMITH & WESSON.
Dr. Hower stipulated that Smith &
Wesson revolvers of 3S-cullbre should
be used. The Eureka base ball park,
near the High Works at G.3u .o'clock
yesterday morning was agreed upon as
the place and time. According to Dr.
llower's statement, Mrs. Hower iivt-r-heard
the conversation that took plueo
with "ItedilingUin" on his second visit.
She left the house, notified the police,
divulged the affair to a number of her
husband's friends and linnlly clinched
her efforts by having upollceinnn posted
outside the house to prevent her hus
bund's leaving It and threatened to
cause the arrest of everybody concern
ed If the duel wasn't declared off.
Dr. Sullivan told a Tribune reporter
last night that he was at the appointed
place of meeting at the appointed time.
He would not admit thut he knew any
thing about the chullenge. He uccused
Dr. Hower of having repeatedly Insult
ed him by word of mouth and "making
faces" nt him. He averred that Dr.
Hower had even placed his thumb
alongside his nose and wriggled his
lingers at him.
A Tribune reporter called upon Dr.
Hower at his ofllce nnd nslted for a
concise statement of the affair from1
his point of view. The doctor said:
DI. BOWER'S STATEMENT.
"This Is no new trouble. I have been
hectored nnd sorely injured by my
brother physicians for a long time and
It Is plainly evident to me thut some of
them are Jenlous of my success nnd are
endeavoring to drive me from town.
Home time ago I became slightly impli
cated In what bore the aspect of a duel
and I nm led to believe it was n con
cocted scheme In which Dr. J. J. SulU
vnn was a prominent figure. As time
passed on the troubli In no way abated
nnd Dr. Sullivan took advantage of
every occasion possible to snub me In
a most ungentlemnnly munner.
"Friday morning while 1 was out of
my office on professional business a call
wns left requesting my presence at 1817
Nay Aug avenue. I went to the house
nnd found Mrs. McC'loskey about to
give birth to a child. I prescribed a se
dative mixture and told the family I
would end again that evening nt 6
o'clock unless they notified me I wns
not needed. While on my way to the
house that evening I met Dr. Sullivan
and he asked me to assist him deliver
the woman. I went to the room anil
found that Mrs. MeCloskey was JUHt
coming from the Influence of an anaes
thetic Which he had administered. The
family seemed to be very much excited
and openly told Dr. Sullivan his for
vlces were no longer required. He then
started to abuse the family nnd again
asked me to assist him and under the
circumstances I refused.
DR. BESSEY ARRIVED.
"As I was nbnut to leave the house Dr.
Ressey .arrived. Thnt same evening
Sullivan and Ressey were passing my
office nnd seeing me standing In the
door the former took occasion to again
abuse me and even went so far as to
shake his fist in front of my face and
make remarks. 1 followed him Into
Henwood's drug store nnd once more
he took occasion to make Insulting re
marks, and at last T told him there was
not a speck of manhood In him. He
asked me to repeat it and 1 told him It
wns not necessary. He then said, 'I
will put you on an equal footing by
sending you a challenge.'
"Thursday night a man giving his
name ns Reddlngton, and wearing
smoked glasses came to my office and
handed me a type written document,
which rend at near as I can remember
as follows:
Tuesday. Sept. 29, ISM.
T. E. 7.. Rower, do hereby swear as a
citizen and physician, that If a challenge
be sent me bv Dr. J. J.. Sullivan I will
either accept or at least not make the law
my defense. .
"I signed the challenge nnd Mr. Red
dlngton left. Laterthatnlghtafter I had
retired Mr. Reddlngton again came to
the office. I got up and Invited him In
and he said: 'Sullivan will meet you
tomorrow morning at 6.30 o'clock at the
Eureka base ball park, High works.
What weapons do you wish to use?"
I replied: 'I'll be there. Thirty-eight
calibre. Smith & Wesson revolvers.'
MRS. BOWER HEARD.
"My wife heard the conversation and
became fireatly excited. She also got
an officer to guard the extrance of our
house and declared she would swear
out warrants for our nrrests. I told
her about signing the above mentioned
challenge, agreeing that I would take
no legal action in the matter, and to
settle the affair and not break the con
tract I consented to remain at home."
Meanwhile it Is the opinion of the
North End that the matter has not
ended. That there will be a duel Is not
likely, but a physical encounter is be
lieved to be among the possibilities.

City Will Do Its Own Work, Mayor
Bailey Says.
When Mayor Bailey and Strpet Com
missioner Kinsley saw in yesterday's
Tribune the letter from the Turnpike
company offering to macadumize West
Market street for $1,5U0 they got to
gether and conferred ns to whut they
should do when the olllclal copy of the
letter reached their hands. Not being
able to decide Just w hat was the best
course they called on Attorney S. H.
Price, who told them to pay no heed
to the letter, but go on with their
original plan of having the city work
men do the repairing.
Mayor Bailey vald to a Tribune re
porter that when the communication
comes to him he will simply refer it lo
councils, without any recommendation.
Regarding the city's stand In the mat
ter the mayor said thut us the city is
compelled to repair the roud it proposes
to do It itself and that It will do It for
less than $l.f.0u. Mr. Kinsley had as
sured him thut the work can be done
In as good a manner as the Turnpike
company proposes to do it, for $1,U0U or
less.

STAGE REALISM WITH A VIM.

Audience at Academy of Mimic.
"The Limited Mall." Elmer 'E. Vance's
realistic drama, with its wealth of
scenic and mechanical effects, wns pre
sented at the Academy of Music last
night to a house which could not be
any bigger.
For a thrilling succession of exciting
climaxes and clever stage realism, "The
Limited Mall" stands preeminently
foremost among popular dramas. A
railroad train, full sized, and in full
flight, a wreck, saw mill in operation
nnd a wonderful telegraphing scene,
are among the most noteworthw fea
tures along the line.
Entertaining specialties Were Intro

County Superintendent J. C. Taylor
has made arrangements for two even

New York, will present his picture
play, "Miss Jerry." The author per
sonates the different characters, and at
the same time there are about 2M
stereopticon views. On Thursduy even
ing Dr. Bryan W. King, president of
King's school of elocution and oratory

TO PAY RESPECTS
TO MAJOR M'KINLEY
Grand Excursion from Norlheastera
. Pennsylvania to Canton, Onto.
LOW RATE FOR THE ROUND TRIP
About Three-quarters of a Cent a
MileWill Leave Lackawanna and
Wyoming Valleys One Week from
Tomorrow Evening, Returning Oct,
ll--Hun by Newspapert at an Ac
commodation to Public Sentiment.
The remarkable interest excited
among the people by the admlrablo
front porch speeches delivered by Ma
jor McKinley to delegations from all
parts of the country who are daily vis
iting the home of the Republican presi
dential candidate at Canton, O., has
during the past few weeks called forth.
In this city and its vicinity a desire on
the part of many to see the Lackawan
na and Wyoming valleys represented
among these delegations. Probably
not less than 100 Scruntonlans have re
cently been heard to express a wish to
make the pilgrimage to Canton, and
the same interest la doubtless general
throughout the valleys. It is now pro
posed by the Republican press of the
two counties to afford to these people
an exceptional opportunity to gratify
this inclination.
The daily sound money paess of Car
bondale, Scranton, PittstJJ, Wllkes
Burre and Hazleton lias secured from
the Pennsylvania und Delaware and
Hudson railroad companies an excur
sion rate to Canton and return which
brings the privilege of a trip to that
now Important Ohio city within the
reach of all. The distance from Scran
ton to Canton is 426 miles, or 852 miles
forthe round trip. The rate now of
fered to all who may wish to go Is only
$0.75 for the round trip Just about
three-fourths of a cent a mile. This la
believed to be the lowest rate ever ad
vertised In Northeastern Pennsylvania.
OUTLINE OF PLANS.
Major McKinley has consented to re
ceive nnd speak to a delegation from
the twin valleys of Northeastern Penn
sylvania on Haturduy, October 10. A
sieclal train will leave Curbondale,
Scranton and W'llkes-Barre via the
Delaware and Hudson and Pennsyl
vania railroads for Canton on Friday
evening, October 8, late enough to en
able prospective passengers to complete
their day's labors on Friday and se
cure supper before the train's depar
ture. The exact hour of departure will
be announced later. This train will
hnve sleepers as well ns day coaches,
and will also have attached to It a lunch
car In charge of a competent caterer.
Passengers can therefore secure food,
and lodgings without leaving the train.
Berths for the whole Journey to and fro
will cost $5 additional to the regular
train fare. If occupied by one person; If
occupied by two persons, the cost will
be $3 apiece. Meals In the lunch car
will cost ordinary restaurant rates.
The train will arrive In Canton Sat
urday forenoon and leave Canton Sat
urday night. The return trip has been
planned so as to enable the excursion
ists to take the picturesque ride over
the Alleghanins by daylight. This
ride Is one of the most celebrated in
America and the scenery vlHible along
it Is of almost Incomparable grandeur.
The train will reach Wllkes-Barre Sun
day afternoon and Scranton and points
up the valley a few minutes later. The
entire Journey will Involve the loss of
only one business day (Saturday) and
if we count out the legal half-holiday,
the actual loss of time from business
will be only half a day. The train will
be In personal charge of Traveling
Passenger Agent Tlmmens, of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
THE TRIP'S SIGNIFICANCE.
This popular excursion to Canton has
been arranged for solely by the news
papers of the two counties, as an ac
commodation for the public sentiment
which has been urging that this part
of the great Republican stronghold of
the nation should not fail of suitable
representation at Canton. The poli
ticians have no identification with it.
If any of them want to go, they will
be welcome, but they must pay their
own fare and take chances with the
rest. Nobody will be allowed on the
train who Is unwilling to buy his own
ticket. Nobody will be asked to help
the excursion along to any further ex
tent than to honor it with his pres
ence at $G.75 for the round trip, berth
and meals extra. The newspapers
themselves make no money on the
transaction. Tickets will be sold di
rectly to excursionists at the principal
Delaware and Hudson offices between
Carbondale nnd Wilkes-Borre, and at
the Pennsylvania office In Wilkes
Borre, The price from points above
Scranton will be $6.85. Berts will be re
served upon application at the ticket
offices, first come first served.
It is desired that all who wish to
take advantage of this exceedingly
low offer will as soon as possible let the
ticket agents know, so that suitable
accommodations may be secured In
advance. The Invitation Is open to all
Democrats and Prohibitionists as well
as Republicans, free silverltes, as well
as sound moneyltes. It Is a ride worth
double the money, and all who take It
will be repaid many fold.
NEW SHOE DEPARTMENT.

ris J. Davidow. . j
A shoe department has been added to
the clothing store of Morris J. Uuvldow

Cut Prices.
At 9 o'clock this morning will begin

entire stock of hats and gents' furnish
ings, contained in his store when the
recent fire visited the upper portion of
the building.
Only a very small portion of the stock
was damaged by the water which
found Its way Into the store, but as Mr.
Christian 1ms won a reputation for
carrying nothing but the choicest
stock he does not propose to Jeopardize
that reputation by carrying over any
goods that might have even the sus
picion of being damaged. A reference
to a more extended announcement In

the hospital a Week last Tuesday Buf

All Dr. Fish could learn concerning
him wus that he came here from
Syracuse recently and boarded some

was so very sick that his strength was
almost gone when he arrived. If he
has any friends In the city, they are
requested to make some nrrungements
for the disposition of the body.
