COUNTRY CLUB OPENINQ.
Lodge Was Dedicated in the Midst ol
Unfavorable Weather.
The attractive little Jodge of the
country club was opened Saturday af
ternoon. I( was a disappointment that
the weather was not at all in keeping
with the excellent arrangements that
had been made for the event. The day
was rainy and cheerless, and only a
email number of visitors attended In
stead of the 200 or more anticipated.
The opening would have beeen post
poned but for the possibility of chanc
ing another unfavorable day. Still
there was to the officers and other of
the more active spirits the satisfaction
of having; successfully launched the
club and of having auspiciously start
ed it with a permanent and suitable
home. Mrs. E. L. Fuller, chairman,
and Mrs. J. B. Dunnick and Mrs. s.
Weston were the furnishing committee.

EX-GOV. WATRES
LAUNCHES HIS BOOM
Or, More Rightly Spcakloc, Senator
Viufban Does It (or Him.
WOULD SUCCEED DON CAMERON
Formal Announcement of the Scran
ton Man's Candidacy Made on Sat
urdajr by Hi Friend and Co worker
at IIarriburiIIow lie Expects to
Win and What His Campaign Plans
ArcAt All Events He Will Be in
the Way of Compromise Lightning.
Senator J. C. Vaughan, Saturday,
made formal announcement of ex. Lieu
tenant Governor I A. Watres' can
didacy for the United States senate, to
succeed Don Cameron.
Mr. Watres Is now heading home
ward from Europe and will be here in
the course of a week or ten days. Im
mediately upon his return. Senator
Vaughan says. Mr. Watres will open
headquarters in Harrisburg and begin
a vigorous campaign and hopes with
the votes he can bring to his cause to
hold the balance of power and, at all
events, to be selected as a compromise
candidate. In case the caucus cannot
agiee on one or the other of the more
formidable candidates. j
WANAMAKER'S STRENGTH.
Mr. Wanamakers's strength. Senator
Vaughn says, is an unknown quantity.
Results may, and most likely will,
show that he is not and never was In
the rave. The three candidates who are
looked upon as winners are Hastings,
Penrose and Watres. Neither so, the
Watres adherents allege, will be able to
control the 108 votes necessary to a
choice. Tho fight at the opening of the
caucus will be, of course, between
Hastings and Penrose, but when It be
comes evident that neither one of them
can win a compromise candidate will
be sought for, as neither side will agreo
to the victory of the other. When this
happens. Mr. Watres proposes to be
around where he can be readily found.
Senator Vaughn feels sanguine that
this condition will come to pass and
that Watres will be the man whom the
compromise lightning will strike. He
hits prudently kept out of factional
lights and clear of personal squabbles
and as a result Is not distasteful to any
of the contending parties. It may be
too, Senator Vaughan says, that Gov
ernor Wntres will no Into the caucus
with n following which will make him
something more formidable than a
compromise candidate. He has warm
friends and ardent supporters all
through the state, and being himself
an indefatigable and wily worker, may
even during the short canvass which
he can make, muster a following that
will clasii him with the Unilers at the
very opening of the caucus.
VAUGHAN INSTRUCTED.
Senator Vaughan Is the only legisla
tor from this region that goes to Har
risburg instructed and he is instructed
for Governor Watres.

THREATENS THE ALDERMAN.
Anonymous Letter Writer of Green
t .r ,t Ridg 3 iaJIot Water.
There Is an ajlcAiymous letter writer
In Green Ki&s "fvho may bare; got
himself in trouble, that Is if Alderman
Bailey carries out his present intention
of placing the case in the hands of the
United States authorities.
In the Green Kidue section of the
city the Slnger-Suinmers horse deal
suit, which has been partly aired in
Alderman Bailey's court, has caused
considerable attention. Not content
with ordinary discussion of the dispute,
an adherent of one of the principals
scut to the alderman an unsigned let
ter directing him how to decide the case
and threatening certain things if the
advice Is not followed.
Now the alderman ma.'tes a threat.
It Is that he will hand the letter over
to United States Commissioner Colborn
and let tho government deal with the
writer for sending an anonymous let
ter through the mall. Whether or not
the aldermon knows the writer's iden
tity is a question he will not discuss.
COLD AND SNOW.
Today's Weather Forecast Invites the
l!e of Heavy Wrap.
The cold wave arrived here yester
day and intends to remain at leaax for
today. Following is the government
forecast contained In a dispatch to The
Tribune last night:
For Monday: For Eastern Pennsyl
vania, ruin turning Into snow in the morn
ing, probably clearing during the day;
slightly colder, temperature freezing tr
below; northerly winds.
Up to nn early hour this morning the
promised rain had not appeared, nor
was it In prospect, although early in
the evening there was a very slight fall
of snow. During yesterday und into
the nlcht the thermometer registered
from 'M to 35 degrees, a fall of about 20
degrees from Saturday's temperature.
HAMLIN DIED LAST NIGHT.
Man Mho M'ns Pinned Under a Fall
of Itool'at Kingston.
Thomas Hnmlin, of Kingston, whose
back was broken by a fall of coal at
theWoodward colliery Wednesday.dled

Hamjtn was pinned under the fall
for over six hours, being caught at 9
o'clock a. m., and not released until
after 3 o'clock p. m.
The remains will be removed to
Kingston to-day.
TOMORROW NIOHT'S INVESTIGATION
Evidence for the Defense Will Not Be
Very Extensive,
The Kinsley Investigation will be re
sumed tomorrow evening in Mayor
Bailey's office In the city hall when the
defense will open its side of the case.
It is not likely that more than two
hearings will be required for tho
presentation of evidence for Mr. Kins
ley. Neither does It seem probublo
that closing arguments will be made by
counsel; in any event the arguments
would not require any great space of
time.

A GREAT GATHERING
OF RAILROAD MEN
Concluded from Page L
klnson, of the Engineers; M. J. Mc
Laughlin, "W. Bunnell and J. J. Mc
Hale, of the Firemen; J. J. Madlgan,
M. P. Harding and Thomas Monaghun,
of the Conductors, and T. F. Kelley,
M. J. Toolan, W. Bowen, W. Thomas,
P. F. Rooney and George Kraft, of the
Trainmen. These had charge of af
fairs in conducting the visitors to the
division rooms, and they also looked
after the arrangements for the public
meeting in the afternoon. All who did
not attend the secret sessions in the
morning, and a large majority of the
visitors didn't, went to church, and the
different churches were filled.
The important feature of the day's
work was the public meeting In the
afternoon in the Grand Opera house.
It was artistically decorated with
streamers of patriotic colors an the
stage was banked with flowers and
plants. The first Ave rows of seats
were reserved for the Ladies' Auxll-

that did the decorating. The Grand
Opera House- enn seat l.tuO persons, und
not only every seat was taken, but
standing room was at a premium, and
over 100 persons were assembled in tue
wings of the stage.
At 2 o'clock the meeting was called to
order by Chairman M. P. Harding.
Seated on the stage were Rev. Thomas
F. Coffey, pastor of St. Rose's church.
Mayor James J. O'Neill, and urand
Ollk'ers Morrlssey, Wllklns, Sargent,
Clark and Youngston. Two miniature
cabooses were placed near the footlights
with side views toward the audience.
A piano nolo by Professor Firth was
the ilrst number on the programme,
after which Engineer William Blnke of
fered prayer. Mr. Blake also welcomed
the visltlnB rulload men to Carbondale.
Looking out upon the faces of those be
fore him he suld he felt that mnn who
met his fiasco would, judging from their
silvery lock:s and wrinkled brows, be
soon takins their last trip. Others are
just sunt inn out, but for one und all
the best counsel wns to follow the will
of the Father. Mr. Blake gave an in
teresting account of his experiences as
a brakeman and conductor and as n
fireman and engineer. When he was u
brakemun he envied tho man who
rode In the caboose and when he was
a fireman he entertained the same
feelings toward the man in the other
side of tho cab, but when he got In the
caboose und on the other side himself,
he found out that there were grave re
sponsibilities) resting upon him.
WELCOMED BY THE MAYOR,
Mayor O'Neill's address of welcome
was tendered in a cordial and open
way. He felt proud to have tho honor
of bidding them welcome, and he gave
them the freedom of the city. The only
public improvement mude since he was
Inaugurated was the refurnishing of
the luck-up. They could go down and
look at it, he said, but not get Inside.
Speaking more seriously, he said, the
railroad men do not get in that condi
tion that they require any latitude
from the police.
There la no other achievement of
man rs Important as the railroad, he
said, although there may be some very
important things, for they all in great
measure depend on the iron horse. The
qualities that make up the railroud
men are sobriety, uprightness, and in
tegrity, and they are men of churches,
patrons of schools and taxpayers. He
felt that the city was deply honored
by their presence and said they could
take it home with them If they pleased.
Assistant Chief Youngston was then
introduced and he spoke of the strug
gles and achievements of the brother
hood. One of the advantages gained
for the engineers was to huve their
wages Increased from $50 a month to
$150 in some cases to tiiuO, and this done,
too, without losing the respect of em
ployers. There are now 34,000 organ
ized engineers, always ready to do
their duty, but ready, too, to resist any
encroachments on their rights. "Do
unto others as you would that they
should do unto you," is their motto.
The greatest good to the greatest num
ber is the principle of this free govern
ment, and that Is the principle of the
brotherhoods. To thoroughly organize,
was Mr. Youngston's advice in part
ing. He ia a lluent speaker and made
a very favorable impression.
A violin solo by Miss Mame Maxwell
was the next number. Miss Maxwell
is young, but she can execute the bow
with artistic grace. Professor Firth
accompanied her on the piano.
Grand Chief Morrlssey was the next
speaker, and he was very entertaining.
He congratulated the different railroad
organizations of Carbondale on the
success of the union meeting, and pre
dicted that the inspiration and encour
agement of the meeting will surely
have the effect of moulding the success
of the Brotherhoods in this section.
After dwelling upon the heroic quali
ties of manliness of the brakeman, he
said that over $4,000,000 have been paid
out by the Brotherhood of Trainmen
alono in assurance and benefits, and
every dollar of it has brought to homes
a ray of sunshine. Fifteen years ago a
brakeman was a small cog in the big
wheel of commerce. It was a case with
him of hustle with no reward In sight
except death in the performance of
duty. Organization brought about a
higher erade of morals, a higher de
gree of citizenship, but one of its great
est achievements was the enactment of
the automatic coupler bill.
Will Dimock rendered a whistling
solo, "The Mocking Bird," in a charm
ing way. Miss Maxwell accompanied
him on tho piano.
GRAND MASTER SARGENT
SPEAKS.
Grand Master Sargent followed with
an addreBa. He paid a noble tribute
to the women and the influence they
wield, and he pointed out in humorous
way the faults they sometimes fall in
to. His advice was to Join the brother
hood, for it is the agent that has
brought about every advantage now
enjoyed.
Mrs. Btlllman Hadcock, whose hus
band Is engineer of the New York train
on the Ontarlon andWestern sang "The
Holy City." She is a graduate of the
Boston Conservatory of Music. Then
there came another excellent number.
Miss Mary Flnnen recited "Asleep at
The Switch." She possesses fine elocu
tionary talent and she gave the piece
an Interpretation such as one some
times hears when an old and oft-heard
song Is sung by a good singer.
Grand Chief Conductor Clark said
upon being Introduced that Chief Sar
gent, having had the opportunity of
speaking before him, had said the very
things be had intended to say. Mr.
Clark thought to himself that there
would quite likely be a good deal of
talk about the good quality of railway
men, and he suggested to himself that
it would be quite the proper thing to
vary the drift of the speeches and say
something about their faults. Unfor
tunately for him, Mr. Sargent's mind
was running on the same train. But
he could say that he agreed cordially
with what Mr. Sargent said about their
faults, and also with the good words
he had spoken concerning the invalu
able assistance of the ladles.
The purposes of railway organisa
tions, said the speaker, are to endeavor
to secure a fair and equitable propor
tion of the proceeds of their toil and a
recignotlon which they believe they
deserve. He believes that the magni
tude of railway enterprise Is not fully
appreciated. It required a lung time
for matters to shape themselves into
just treatment for railway employes.
The president of the United States In
two annual messages had to urge upon
congress the necessity of enacting the
automatic coupler bill before it was
taken up and made a law. An idea of
the vast interest the railroads control
In this country can be gained from the
knowledge that there are 1,000,000 men
employed, mostly every man of them
a voter, and the head of a family.
There are 35.0O0) locomotives in the
United States and If they were placed
one after another In a straight line. It
would measure 400 miles. If the freight
cars were all coupled together the trip
would extend from New York to Sail
Francisco, back to New York again,
and as far west again as Chicago.
Mr. Clark upheld that an arbitration
board established by law is a good
thing. For, when there Is a dispute
to be settled one sides does not want to
make any advances toward arbitration
for fear it would be taken by the other
party as an Indication of weakening.
He also urged that this would not bo
compulsory arbitration, as some would
try to make believe.
The Crescent sextette composed of
Messrs. Klrwun, T. A. Klrkwood, Rich
ard Klrkwood, Joseph Boylan, O'Rourke
and Patrick Boylan, sang a charming
chorus and for on encore responded
with "I's Gwlne Buck to Dixie." Rev.
Father Coffey was the next speaker in
troduced. Father Coffey's address was received
with liberal applause. He has a strong
hold on the affections of the people
of Carbondale. He lives a sincere, un
affected life, with good will toward ev
ery man, and his address was charac
teristic of him. The advice he gave
them was to be faithful to the lessons
they had learned In their churches, and
doing so they will not depart from the
path of duty. In a newspaper he read
yesterday an account of a collision be
tween a train of passenger coaches and
a long line of freight cats. The story
said that the engineer and tlreman
were killed. The writer of the story
said a kind wore, of pruise for the
mangled trainmen, but the Incident
soon was forgotten; no passengers were
hurt; it was only the engineer and lire
men were killed.
THE MEN AT THE FRONT.
That only goes to show, he said, that
the lives of thousands of men, women
Und children are dally depending on the
courage and bravery of the men In
front, for when the wreck comes it is
the rule that the men at the lever goes
down. Father CoiTey, in conclusion,
urged upon them to look to God, and
as representative men, men picked out
from among men, to appreciate the re
sponsibility resting upon them in the
performance of their duty. He wished
them abundant success, and hoped they
would carry away with them kindly
recollections of the city.
F. P. Kelley favored the audience
with a monologue, and In a very clear
style he told a group of funny stories.
For an encore he gave Tony Pastor's
Imitation of an old Irishwoman's ver
sion of what she saw upon her ilrst
visit to Coney Island.
The last number on tho programme
was a chorus by the Crescent Sex
tetter. The name of Hon. L. S. Collin,
of Highland Park, 111., known to all
brotherhood men as "Father" Coffin,
was on the programme, but he could
not come. He was to have delivered nn
address to railroad men only In the
opera house in the evening.
The afternoon meeting was1 over at
5.15 and at 7.30 a special train on the
D. & II., in charge of Conductor Cook
and Engineer Cobb brought nine car
loads south and distributed them nt
Scranton and' Wllkes-P.arre. The trip
to Scranton was made with but ona
stop in a little over thirty minutes.

A
Mistaken
Idea.
Some people think because a firm lit
a large store filled with good, and
those of a high grade, that they muit,
of necessity, get higher price than a
smaller store with Inferior stock.
THIS IS WKONO, and vou can proy
It by comparing the prices of Piano,
Organ and all kind of Musical In
trumenta, a Mid by
POWELL'S
MUSIC STORE,
And the Instrument and Price at any
other place in the city.
