SNOW, COLD, WIND;
NO GREEN CHRISTMAS
-v
Winter Weather Makes Itself Felt la
and About Scranton.
IT'S GOOD SANTA CLAUS WEATHER
A Uountiful 1 all or tho Beautiful
Comes in the Nick of Tiino-Strcct
Car Lines Sutler, but tho Merchant
Is Happy and So la the Holi
day l.ovcflt Mill Last Over
Christmas Day.
Forecast for Thursday: For Eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, partly
cloudy weather with continued norther
ly winds; for Western Pennsylvania,
partly cloudy weather possibly light
local snows; slight changes in temper
ature, fresh to brisk northerly winds.
Santa Claus will come to Scranton
with his reindeers, sleigh and plenty of
snow. The Washtngtun weather dis
pensary promises it.
Tills will not be a creen Christmas;
there will not be a fat graveyard. The
first assertion Is proved by the abun
dance of snow and the latter by an old
adage. Scran toll's confines and the
country for miles around are cloaked in
a mantle of the beautiful beautiful to
the small boy and the liveryman but
more or less u horrible thing to street
railways and railways which have
steam furu motive power.
The Scranton Traction company suf
fered yesterday on nil Its suburban
lines, although but slight impediment
wus caused within the city, liut while
the street railway olllcluls had their
troubles, nearly everybody else was
joyful and welcomed the snow as a pre
cursor of an old-fushloned Christmas,
holl;-, Santa Claus and Hlclirliliells.
Tho fall of snow during Tuesday
night did not seriously impede street
cur traflic but during yesterday morning
the continued fall and the udditlon of
a high wind piled tip Innumerable drifts
in the outlying districts and put the
suburban residents ut a disadvantage.
F.LKOTRIC SWKF.PF.HS IN t'SK.
The two old and one new electric
sweepers of the Scranton Traction com
pany were pressed Into service and their
capacity was taxed all morning In keep
ing open the lines In the city. The cars
ran but nt Irregular Intervals.
Jieanwhlle the trucks outside the city
had become blocked. It was not until
late in the evening tluit trutllo had
been resumed n the Throop nnd l'ltts
toii lines. Only two trips of cars had
been made on the Throop line up to !
o'clock last night, and the regular runs
on the I'ittstun line were not made
possible until after midnight. There
was practically no travel of nny kind
on the latter division up to (I o'clock at
night. The Taylor and IVckville lines
were kept open during the day. but
Hie cars ran at long and irregular inter
vals. To tho merchant nnd the pleasutv
sceker, however, the snow was a god
Send. All duy the strtets of the busi
ness section were literally thronged
with Chi 1st mas shoppers and through
out the residence sections the avenues
resounded and were alive with the Jin
gle of sleighbells and passing equip
pagep. For several weeks past the retail deal
er in merchandise hud just cause for
complaint. Sales were conspicuous by
their absence nnd the shelves, loaded
with winter goods, found no purchases
because no winter had arrived. 'All
that was changed yesterday. Kvery
bi dy bought something suggested by
real cold weather. All the stores were
thronged and it wus with difficulty that
customers, because of their great num
bers, could be waited upon.
CROWDS OF SHOPPERS.
liut the daylight hours were not a
circumstance to what the electric lights
t.uw at uluht. The streets on Lacka
wanna and Wyoming avenues were al
most Impassable, and the more prom
inent stores found it dilllcttlt to accom
module the throngp tluit crowded about
the entrances and Jammed Into the
aisles. In several instunces it was nec
essary to close lee main entrances at
Intervals. Then the doors were opened
to admit a squad of pushing, shoving
ami impatient shoppers while a squad
of similar size passed out.
And the merchant smiled.
Kvery hill whose Incline gave even
a halt excuse for coasting had lis quota
of red-faced, shouting and happy ur
chins. When night came no accidents
had been reported that might mar the
pleasant anticipation of Christmas In
any locality.
There was no t.erlous delay of trains
on any of the steam railroads entering
the city, ulthough precautions were
taken on all lines to prepare for a
continuance of the fall and hurricane
weather. There were drifts on the Po
cono nnd on the hills north of the
city along the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western line, but all of yesterday's
passenger trains pulled into the city
within a few Minutes of schedule time.
The engines were enshrouded in a
mould of white and the coaches resem
bled horizontal Icicles from Polar lands,
evidences of a battle with the elements,
but the lost time wns not In any case
serious enough to chronicle.
I'nless all signs fall, cold, wind and
robustness may be expected until lung
into tomorrow ultjht.

CARING FOR THE
POOR AND NEEDY
Bringing Some of the Christmas Cheer
to the Homes of the Destitute.
NUMEROUS APPEALS FOR HELP
Mrs. Duggau, Agent of the Board of
Associated Charities, nnd Her As
sistants, Were Kugngcd Yesterday
at tho City Hall Preparing Ncccs
sarics nnd Luxuries for Distribu
tion Today and Tonights-Providing
for One Hund red nnd Fifty Funiilies
Between 100 and 200 families will be
cared for this Christmas liv the Board
of Associated Charities. This does not
represent the number of families in ac
tual need; it is the number that rep
resents the very neediest of the needy.
Those In a position to know state
that this winter is one of the severest
that the poor people of tills city have
encountered in many years. From the
South Side and Bcllevue the most ap
peals for assistance come. All day yes
terday Mrs. DugtTan, ugent of the
Board of Associated Charities, was
busy in the Emergency hospital at the
city hall, getting ready to deal out the
Christmas offerings.
Every family of at least 150 will get
either a small turkey or goose, and
some potato s and 1 abbage, or other
substantial articles of food. There will
be given out bags of candy lor the
children to make lliein feel happy ut a
time whi n pence on earth Is the per
vading sentiment in Christendom.
Mrs. Dugguu ycslerday purchased
about "HO pnuiiil:! of candies, mixed nuts
and pop coin, and tills was divided up
into 2-poiind lots nod placed in paper
bags. She scut out postal cards to the
families she found most in need of as
sistance and expects to lie at work all
day today in the Emergency hospital
giving out a portion to every family.
She related an inslaft-e that occurred
last year at I o'clock Christmas morn
ing. Postal curds had been sent out
to the families thai were to be helped,
but for some reason or other not more
than 10 per cent, of them called, and
she found It necessary to hire u wagon
and take the goods around to the
houses.
She got to one house nn hour after
midnight and the six children were in
bed. When they saw the bags of candy
for them, they screamed with joy and
there wus no more sleep In that house
that night. The family wus a very
worthy one, but also very needy, nnd
the children called Mrs. Duggan ull
kinds of Santa Clauses.
Miss Kiesel, nurse for the board, is
assisting Mrs. Duggan, and Mrs. Fla
herty Is working in conjunction with
them representing the ladles of the St.
Vincent de Paul society of St. Peter's
cathedral.
WILL AVOID A STRIKE.
Probability That the Difference Between
the Journeymen and Master Plumbers
Will Be Amicably Arranged.
There will be 110 plumbers strike on
the Hist of the year us was threatened.
At least both the master plumbers und
Journeymen hojio to avoid it und will
confer tonight with u view to bringing
about a realization of their hopes.
Last Friday night the master plumb
ers received a (lemniid, with a strike
ultimatum for a uniform rate of wages
ol per (I ty fur all Journeymen who
had worked a full year continuously til
their trade alter serving the prescribed
apprenticeship, the Increase to take ef
fect Jan. 1, 1SS7. The master plumbers
niter clue consideration concluded that
they could not afford to grunt the de
mand as winter contracts had been
bused on the present rate of wages,
but thoy proposed a compromise to the
effect that the ten per cent, advance
which they promised lor next May go
Into effect Immediately. .
When this proposition was read at
the meeting ot the Journeymen Tuesday
night, It was generally uoecpted as a
full' and equitable offer and after a
lengthy debate it was decided to refer
the whole matter to a committee, of live
with full power to act and instructions
to avoid a stiilie If It could be con
sistently done. This committee, com
prised of James Donahoe, T. F. Moran,
Henry Woolsifer, Joseph Evans and T.
J. O'Malley, w ill tonight meet 11 similar
siy-ed committee of the muster plumb
ers, Henry Giinslcr, Thomas Clnrke,
Louis Schumacher, Luke ll.-ani and
August Schneider, nnd it is expected
tliMl an aiiiicabl- adjustment of the
grievances v 111 be reached.
