territory, where he enjoys the well

THREE LAWYERS ENGAGED.
ExJudffe Stnntoa, Joaa T. JUartia
nnd C. C. Ballentiae M ill Defend.
Prom the outlook at present there
will be no scarcity of lawyers to defend
Andrew Fallyo and John Bonta, who
are charged, the latter as an accessory,
with the murder of George Sehmo, who
died at the Lackawanna hospital, from
fracture of skull, received in a drunken
fight at Sport Hill. Dunmore, the Satur
day night previous.
Attorney C. C. Bailentlne was retain
ed and he made an effort yesterday to
have Konta released on bail. Later in
the day Attorney John T. Martin in
quired from .County Detective Leyshon
something about the case; and after
him came Judge Stanton, who, after
beintr retained, left Mrs. Pallyo and
two friends in his office, and came to
the court house to see District Attorney
John U. Jones to find out it he would
not be willing to admit the prisoners
to bail. Mr. Jones was busy and Judge
Stanton spoke to Mr. Leyshon about It.
The latter told him ball would not be
taken, and the judge went away saying
something about habeas corpus pro
ceedings. The coroner's Jury will hold
an inquest in the case at the arbitra
tion room of the court house this even
ing at 8 o'clock.
Hail was entered before Alderman
Millar for the release of Bonta. but
when Attorney Bailentlne went to the
Jail to got him out. Deputy Sheriff T.
J. Price, the night warden, refused to
accept the bull piece as the case Is a
high grade felony, and ball must be en
tered before a judge In court, nnd the
surety must be acceptable to the dis
trict attorney.
OVER THE NEW BRIDGE.
Street Cars Mill Be Rnn by That
Koute to Stono Avenue.
Superintendent Robert F. Fox, Divis
ion Superintendent Giles Schkeuk and
Line Foreman Andrew Couloir made a
trial trip with a car over the Roaring
Brook bridge Monday night and every
thing worked Hatlsfucturily, except the
curve where the cur turns up the in
cline on the approach. The curve ta
not rounded enough, but the defect
will be remedied in a day or two, and
Superintendent Fox expects to open the
line for tratlle by the end of the week.
Stone avenue cars instead of turn
ing down Mattes street will go up the
Laurel Hill line and over the bridge
to Front street, to Plttston avenue, to
Hemlock street, to Prespect avenue,
where they will connect with the old
line and run on to the terminus. On
the inward trip they will come over
the old route, and by this means there
will be a belt line service between
Mattes street and Prospect avenue. The
same service as now will be given. The
cars make trips every twenty-four min
utes. The new arrangement will en
able thein to avoid delaj'H and It will
also facilitate tralllc on the South Side
line. f
A WOMAN'S PERILOUS POSITION.
Went Into a Drunken .Sleep on the
Delaware and Hudson Track.
The poor board came very near be
ing relieved of on. of Its charges last
evening. Mrs. Jones, of 62U Beech
street, who received monthly allow
ances of outdoor relief, squandered
some of her allowance in a manner
which will cause her to lose her Influ
ence with at least one memler of the
board. While in the lamentable condi
tion which resulted from her prodigal
ity, Fhe fell asleep on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad just below the
Dodgetown crossing.
Her two little children were with her
and tried to rouse her but failing to
do this, and being unable to pull her
off the track they ran for help. Special
Oflleer Lawrence Duhigg, who hap
pened to bo passing near by, was se
cured, nnd running to the spot rescued
the woman from her perilous position
just as the up-train was whittling for
the crossing. The children were sent
home and the woman was turned over
to Patrolmen Welsh and Haul, who
locked her up In the central police
Btation.
ANNUAL DONATION DAY. '
Tomorrow is the Time to Rcmcmbar
the Home for the Friendless.
The annual donation day of the Home
for the Friendless will be tomorrow.
The needs of the Institution are great
this year, owing to the building opera
tions, and the increase in the number
of inmates. There are those people In
Scranton who never forget the little
orphans or worse than orphans, nor the
feeble old ladles In the Home, but every
year new residents are coming to our
city and their gifts will be greatly ap
preciated if they will be so kind as to
remember this worthy charity.
The managers hope to see a very .large
number of additional names on the list
of donors tomorrow. Gifts of provi
sions from friends In the country will
be gladly welcomed and clothing, pro
visions and all articles needed in a
family will be greatly appreciated.
MAMMOTH NEW ENGINE.
It M ill Be Erected at the Providence
Plant in a Few Months.
The Scranton Traction company will
enlarge its motive power at the Provi
dence plant within two months by the
addition of a 700-horse power engine.
The Importunoe of this Improvement
can be better measured when the fact
Is known that the total horse power of
the engines now at the plant is 1,200.
Superintendent Robert F. Fox stated
yesterday to a Tribune reporter that
the foundation for the engine bed will
be started in a few days, parts of the
engine will begin arriving about Nov.
1, and he hopes to have it put together
and In working order by Dec. 1. It will
be a magnificent piece of machinery.
It is to be put in to better accommo
date the public, and one of the steps to
ward making a flrst-class street car
service in this city.
BOYCOTT FELL THROUGH.
Retail Liquor Dealers Will Declare
it Off at the Next Meeting.
The boycott declared by the Retail
Liquor Dealers' association of Lacka
wanna county against the brewers who
refused to sign an agreement not to sell
to speak-easles has fallen through, and
will at next Friday's meeting of the
league be officially declared off.
One of the members prominent in the
association said last flight to a Trib
une reporter that the failure of the
boycott was due to the very men who
Inaugurated It. They, he said, were
discovered breaking the agreement not
to patronize the boycotted nrewers and
those who entered the fight through
sympathy of course refused to be bound
to the agreement any longer.

There are the names taken at random
of a few of the men who attended last
night'B Republican rally in Oak hull,
corner of Capouse avenue and Marlon
street. Green Ridge. They are men
tioned merely to give an Idea of the
class of people who are attending the
Republican meetings. It incidentally
serves to show that there is nn unusu
ally lively Interest in the campaign,
for the Thirteenth ward people are not
as a general rule very demonstrative
and It is only when they want to put
themselves ott record In some Important
matter that they will participate In any
ilemoiiHtrntlon. The fact that they
turned out lust night In numbers that
overflowed the commodious hall evi
dences that they consider this an ex
tremely important campaign. .
Colonel Sanderson, the chairman of
the meeting, made the ramv-uisn's Im
portance the sole theme of his opening
remurks. "It is a struggle to determine
whether a laborer shall receive his pay
In debased dollars; whether the na
tional und individual debts shall be paid
In dishonest currency; whether our su
preme court, the most august body In
the world, nhall be maligned by mud
slingers without a protest from the
people, and whether the 'present season
of depression shall continue or wheth
er prosperity shall once again reign In
the land."
After a selection by a campaign
quartette John M. Harris was intro
duced. MR. HARRIS' ADDRESS.
"Your chairman has said rightly" bs
gnn Mr. Harris, "that this Is an Import
ant campaign. Its Importance has
drowned party afllllatlons and It Is no
uncommon sight to see one-time Demo
crats presiding at Republican meetings.
Free coinage Is an Important Issue but
it Is not or should not be a political
Issue. It Is an economic measure.
They would force this as a party Issue
which In fact is nothing more or less
In Its present state, than a commercial
deal backed by a syndicate of the Farr
estate, the Mnckey estate. Jones, Stew
art & Co., and other silver miners who
represent a capital of $547,000,000, and
who would be benefited by the passage
of u free coinage act to the extent of
from $i"0,000.000 to $75,000,000 a year."
The "crime of '73" was shown by
Mr. Harris to have been anything but
a crime. He cited figures to show that
where only eight million dollars In sil
ver had been coined prior to 1X73, twen
ty times that much hns been coined
since. He also touched briefly and in
nn elementary way upon the various
other idiuses of the free silver Issue,
attacking the fallacies of Popocrucy in
an eloquent and learned manner, car
rying conviction with his every utter
ance. In closing he dealt with the Im
portance of electing a Republican con
gress, and the wisdom of nnmlnz as
Lackawanna's representative one
whose interests are common with every
workman in the countv. Such a one,
he said, was William Connell, the can
didate of the Republican pnrty. As
an attorney and an attache of the court
he commended the administration of
the present majority Commissioners
Giles Roberts and S. W. Roberts, say
ing that he had never seen two men
more competent or courteous In that
office since he became an observer of
court house affairs. He also spoke a
word for Klefer and Ward, and urged
his hearers to show their appreciation
of their neighbor. A. E. Klefer by giv
ing the whole ticket the largest vote
ever given a Republican ticket In the
Thirteenth ward.
ADDRESS BY A. J. COLBORN, JR.
Mr. Colborn was next introduced- and
for nearly an hour with his masterly
and original treatment of the campaign
Issues held the closest attention of his
auditors, being frequently forced to
pause for the cheering to subside.
The foe this time, he said, brings
forward an issue that was never before
dreamed of. They knew they could not
fight against protection. The experi
ence of the people after the repeal of
the McKinley act would make such a
course suicidal. The silver question
rose from the ruins of the demolished
Democracy. For a time it fared well.
The newspapers seemed to get Into a
frenzy over it. For a few days after
the Chicago convention It seemed that
we were insane. The county was go
ing silver-mad. But before the votes
were counted In Vermont sanity re
turned and it kept on returning until
the returns from Maine showed that
reason was firmly seated In her throne.
In compatlng the allegation that the
act of 1H73 was passed surreptitiously
by stealth and fraud. Mr. Colborn cited
the fact that It was a public question
for three years; that It was before con
gress for two years; that It was de
bated for twenty-one days In the house
and seventeen days in the senate; that
It was the subject of many conference
commltttee meetings and that the Con
gressional Record shows sixty-five
columns of speeches were delivered up
on It. It was never heard of as a
crime until the Democrats started out
to secure a stock of excuses for the due
results of the Wilson bill.
SOME SILVER HISTORY.
Some of the Inconsistencies of the
Democrats were pointed out In a very
convincing manner by Mr. Cojborn.
Notwithstanding the fact that from
1873 to 1892 twenty times as much sil
ver was coined as during the years
previous to the "crime." the West en
tered a plea for the white metal, say
ing It was not receiving fair treatment.
Congress, In Its wisdom and goodness
of heart, passed the Bland-Allison act
directing that at least twu and one
half billions of silver dollars should
be coined every year. This did not
satisfy them and In l.v.K) In response to
their demands came the Sherman law
by which the government was com
pelled to buy $4,500,000 worth of sliver
bullion every month and coin It as fast
as there was need for the money. Then
came a season of prosperity. The peo
ple became too prosperous. They
wanted a change and they got t.
Cleveland was elected nnd stagnation
ensued. The Democrats snld it was
the Sherman act and In 1S9.1' the act
was repealed. Mark you there was
too much silver, the Democrats claimed.
Now they clamor for "more silver."
One of the arguments used by the
Democrats In 1892 was that prices were
too high. The McKinley bill should
be repealed and the tariff for revenue
only substituted. Bryan, at that time
was one of the greatest shout?rs
against high prices, which he laid at
the door of the McKinley bill. Now he
says the trouble Is that prices are too
low and that gold caused it. In Pater
son, N. J., Bryan told the manufactur
ers that free colnag? would benefit
them because they could tak the earn
ings of their capital and by buying
liver bullion with it, Mcur. dollars
that would virtually enable them to
get labor as cheap as in foreign coun
tries. In New York. h. tells the bank
ers there is no excuse for becoming
panicky; that when he is elected he
proposes to keep silver on a partly with
gold.
" NOT A POLITICAL) QUESTION.
The ratio of gold and silver is not a
political question but an economic one.
Why not make it 8 to 1 or 1 to 1. if the
government has the power to say what
ratio the coins shall circulate at. His
tory shows what ha. happened to na
tions that have attempted to pay their
honest debts with dishonest dollars. If
an act of congress can fix a commercial
value' anthracite coal could be made
quite as valuable a. diamonds for or
naments. They say the gold dollar Is
becoming too good. Man wants the
best dollar he can get. He demands it.
The thundering tones of Vermont and
Maine have found echo in every nook
and corner of the United States and on
election day the people with relentless
fury will sweep Into oblivion those who
would attempt to strike down this
country's reputation for honesty
They will demand an administration
that will adopt and enforce the policy
of America fur Americans, native and
udopted; a party that will make every
dollar worth one hundred cents; a par
ty whine cry will not be "open up the
mints." but "give us protection to open
up the mills;" a party that will through
Its congress legislate for American
manufacturers and not for Kngland.
France and Germany; a party that will
bring peace, contentment, prosperity
and progress to sit at the fireside of tire
American home where now stretches
the unwelcome guest, gaunt poverty.
MR. OSBORNE'S REMARKS.
The meeting was brought to a close
with a brief speech by J. Ball Osborne,
who depleted the condition of labor in
a free trade country auch an Belgium
where Mr. Osborne spent four years as
consul.
He said he had been a protectionist
by inheritance but since his experience
In Belgium he was a protectionist log
ically. J
TWENTY-ONE RECRUITS.
Very Successful Enrollment of Ameri
can Volunteers Conducted by Staff
Captain Llndsey, of Philadelphia.
Staff Captain Lindsay, of Philadel
phia, was present at last nicht's meet
ing of the American Volunteers at their
headquarters, 318 Washington avenue,
nnd twenty-one recruits were enrolled
under the Hag of Christ. They were
mostly persons who have been reached
by attending the services of the Vol
unteers, and who heretofore were In
the habit of leading a non-rellglous life.
It was not their first profession of
having abandoned evil ways; some of
them have been devout attendants at
the services several weeks, but It was
thought proper that the staff captain,
or some officer high In the ranks, Bhould
come here and that there should be
an appropriate programme carried out.
There was a very earnest address by
the staff captain, in which he spoke
of being pleased to see Bueh a flourish
ing company In Scranton, and he high
ly commended the desires of the re
cruits in forsaking lives of sin and un
righteousness and turnlnc to God as
their only hope and assistance.
Besides a fervent service of prayer,
there was special music, and many cor
dial testimonials were offered. The
Volunteers escorted Captain Lindsay to
headquarters with a band.
LOST MINE IS RECOVERED.
It Hns Been Filled With Water for
Forty tears.
"For the first time In forty years the
old Temperance mine, which was aban
doned and tilled with water, at Beaver
Meadow, was entered Saturday," says
the Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer. "The
explorers were Superintendent John M.
Lewis and Patrick Kelly. This mine
was practically lost all these years. In
1S55 an accident occurred there in which
three men were killed, and the mine
was drowned out. The maps were lost,
thus obliterating all trace of the open
ing and Its extensions. The- late Eck
ley B. Coxe made several efforts to lo
cate It underground, but without suc
cess. After his death the search was
prosecuted on the lines laid down by
him. Several months ago the searchers
were successful, and tapped the water.
"Saturday was the first time they
were able to reach the gangway, and
they found it in fairly good shape.
Relics of the workmen who fled from
It were numerous, and even the foot
prints were discernible In places. The
Iron pump was eaten and rusted, and
crumbled apart when disturbed. A re
murkable find was an old boot still
hanging on a prop, where its owner left
It nnd In fairly good condition.
"The work of repairing will now be
pushed, and the old Temperance will be
the scene of life and activity In a short
time."
A DOUBLE WEDDING.
Two of the Quartette Were Twins
nnd All are Youthful.
Yesterday morning John Williams, of
Mayfleld. and Rose Sweeney, of Vand
ling, secured a marriage license In Clerk
of the Courts Thomas' office, and, short
ly afterwards, John Davis and May
Williams, of Mayfleld, came In and se
cured a license. The man In the first
cuse and the woman in the second gave
the same place of birth, their parents
names were similar John and Chariot
la they were born In the name year,
1874, and looked very much alike. It
was noire of the clerk's business so he
asked no questions other than those
prescribed by law, but,- howsomever,
he hud but one guess com Inn and that
was that the Williams children Were
twins.
The fact that they requested that the
granting of the licenses Bhould be kept
out of the papers led the clerk to also
conjecture that It was a double run
away match. This belief was height
ened during the afternoon when Alder
man Millar gave out to the reporters
that he had performed a double wed
ding during the day, which he had
promised to keep out of the papers.

The missing man was a widower, S3
years of age, and his employment was
that of a miner. He has nine children.
Mr. Kearney was a very domestic
man and rarely spent a night away
from his own home. This Is one of the
features of the case that is giving the
members of his family mucn uneasi
ness, for they argue that If he was
alive and well nothing would keep him
for four day. from his home and child
ren. The last time he was seen was about
o'clock Friday night when he left
his residence and started In the direc
tion of the central city. A short dis
tance from the house he met one of his
sons and told him that he was going to
take a walk and would return In a
short time. He started for the central
city, the dog following at his heels and
succeeded In disappearing as effect
ually as If the pround opened and swal
lowed him up.
Chief Robllng was notified yesterday
of Kearney's disappearance and the
police officers of the city ar. now en
deavoring to find htm.
Kearney was dressed In a black
cheviot suit, a colored .shirt and a
black fedora hat.
