The Seranton Bicycle club members are anticipating the annual meeting and elec tion which will bo held next month. No reliable mention has been made of can didates, but there are many tor several of the olllees. At a meeting of the club last night thirty-two members were elect ed. Yesterday afternoon Alderman Howe issued a warrant for tho arrest of Delia Larkln, at the Instance of .Marie O'Noll. who charges that Jllss Larkln assaulted 5ier. Her claim was confirmed by an ugly looking wound over her light eye, which was caused by a stono or piece of Ice. Both women are residents of Dunmore. Before Alderman Wilght yesterday, Charles Barber brought suit against Messrs. Churles and A. Conrad to recover tto, the amount he claims due him for moving a building. The defendants udmlt that the building was moved, but owing to defective supports, collapsed. Mr. Bar ber claims that the falling of the building was due to masaons doing their work faulty. Decision on the case was reser ved. FOURTH CHAMBER CONCERT. II Was the I.nst Oho Thnt Will lie Given This Season. The fourth and final chamber con cert of tho present season was by all odds the best, and to an otherwise ex cellent programme, rendered with un common spirit, was added the novel ty of the first nubile rendition of a composition by the central figure anions the musicians of this section, Professor Hembereer. The concert opened with a trio by Boelsche in D, the andante movement of which quickly put the nudience in a receptive mood. Giles's sonata in F for violin and piano followed, and right here it should be said that those who did not hear this number missed not cmly one of the most exquisite bits of Instrumental music which have ever been produced in Soranton, but also a chance to hear Mr. Ilemberger at his best. Ills understanding with his violin last evening was well-nigh perfect. Never before, to our recollec tion, has his instrument proved so re sponsive to every touch, The piece de resistance, the Ilem berger string quartette in R flat, was in some respects a puzzle. It bailies our inexpert description; wo can only say that it is as full of originality as of surprises and will need to be hoard a number of times to be fairly judged. Its first two movements proved decid edly piquant after a half hour of Grieg, but it seemed last evening as if in his andantlno the composer canleil Ills motif out to the limit of tolerance and met with embarrassment In his con cluding bars; and a similar Judgment might not bo out of place with refer ence to his finale. But this opinion Is ndvanced with hesitation; the fact is, Professor Hemberger as a composer is a law unto himself. There were bars in his quartette that evoked de cided enthusiasm and again there were some that abandoned so frankly the conventions that one hn3 to withhold a verdict pending more thoughtful con sideration. The vocalist of the evening, Mr. Wooler, sang two numbers in excellent voice, und was cordially encored.

LARGE ORDERS BEINQ PLACED Stnmliird Hulls Arc Rclng Sold in Clilcngo for 81ft u Toji Wnr to the Knifo Itctwccn C(irni!j;li! unit the Illinois Stud Complin ) --.Vol Jillicly That (liu Cut in I'ricoH Will Cause New Itouils to Jlu Constructed. "A war for business is being waged with savage competition between the Carnegie Steel company, limited, of Pittsburg, and the Illinois Steel com pany, of Chicago," says yesterday's Pittsburg Times. "The fight began In Chicago Monday, after the break of the steel rail pool, when the Illinois concern charged that the Pittsburg firm was Invading Its territory and was shading prices. To meet the competition, It mot the prices offered by the Carnegie company's agents, and the latter came back with still lower prices. Tho railroad buy ers played the two llrms until open quotations yesterday were $17, Pitts burg, and $18, Chicago, for rails of standard section, which means actual selling prices of $15 and $10 respective ly. Just what roads placed orders with the Carnegie company are not given, but It Is not denied that orders aggre gating a largo tonnage have been booked for delivery the coming spring. It is estimated that orders aggregating 600,000 tons have been placed during tho week by western and southern railroads. "Tho companies east of the moun tains are strong and have close rail way connections. Tne owners of the two mills at Seranton, the Lackawan na Steel company, are closely allied with the coal carrying roads, particu larly the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and the Delaware and Hud son Canal and Railway company, which are largely owned by tliu Van derbllts. This is thought to give the Laukawanna company an advantage over Its neighbors, the Pennsylvania and the Bethlehem Stool companies, as well as with the Maryland Steel company. The Maryland Steel com pany is closely allied with the Balti moi e and Ohio Interests, the Pennsyl vania Steel company with the Pennsyl vania railroad, and the Bethlehem with the Erie, Lehigh Valley and Reading railroads. HOW TIIE TROUBLE STARTED. "Because the steel companies furnish large freight tonnage on raw materials to the railroads along which their plants are situated, preference la al wayn given to the companies) which furnish freight when orders for lulls are placed. For tills reason the Penn sylvania railroad has always divided its tonnage between the Pennsylvania Cambria and Carnegie Steel companies and placed an order for 50,000 tons among those companies last month. It Is sluted that it was because of the placing of this order that the trouble began In the pool. The Carnegie com pany Is charged with' having offered a low price for the entire tonnage, forc ing the other companies to meet the price. "Regarding the story from Chicago that an alliance, offensive and defen sive, has been entered Into by the Car negie and Rockefeller Interests, little credence is rlven the report in Pitts burg. At the olllees of the Carnegie Steel company no expression of opin ion could he obtained regarding it. Brokers close to the inside of what is going on pronounce the story absurd, and say It arose out of the fact that the Carnegie and Oliver Steel companies have jointly contracted for the ores in the Massabl region with the Rockefel ler interest, and the latter has secured for its lake vessels a guarantee of tho exclusive tonnage of the coal which is to he shipped from the Conneaut docks, giving freight both ways, and a profit for investments in lake vessels, of which there are eighteen 1, 000-ton freighteis, and two more building. "Another reason cited for disbeliev ing the story is that neither Andrew Carnegie nor John D, Rockefeller would' consent to play second fiddle to any other man in their respective lines of business. It whs also stated that the command of raw materials which the Carnegie Steel company now has per mits it to carry out plans which have long been In contemplation and for which the head of the company has long been directing efforts, namely, to become the recognized leader of steel manufacture in the world, and to In vade the large and profitable markets which British manufacturers have so long controlled. EXPECT TO EXPORT RAILS. "It Is claimed that it is expected by the Carnegie Steel company to do a, large export business in all forms of steel products which it makes, nnd that agencies have been or are being estab lished In the great importing cities of South America, Asia and Europe, two having already been established in England, with Millard F. Hunsicker in charge as general agent. Andrew Carnegie arrived in Pitts burg last night from New York and left the limited at Homewood station. He will be the guest of II. C. Frlek during his stay in the city. An effort was made to ;et from him an expres sion regarding the rumors from Chi cago connecting his name and that of John D. Rockefeller In a combination torerulate tho production of Iron and steel, but he declined to say anything at this time. It Is understood that Mr, Carnegie's visit is to confer with his partners regarding the policy of the company aB to steel rail prices, and the fight for business going on between the seven companies which manufacture rails. It was said last nljiht that the pales of rails contracted for during the week exceed all records for a similar time, and the tonnage already booked by several companies Is very large, in dicating that the railways intend to epend large sums of money in better ments this year. The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday has this to say concerning the situa tion: "Much reticence was observed yester day by the representatives of the steel companies which formed the broken rail pool, and Information regarding the probable result of the cut In prices on tho steel nnd iron business was dif ficult to Eecure. Inquiry among iron and steel merchants and manufactur ers of Iron and steel products other than rails developed the fact that a Very uneasy feeling prevailed In the trade, and those wlio jjave expression to their views indicated that they thought tho break in prices, If nai quickly stopped, would result in a gen eral demoralization of the whole iron und steel trade. MANY BIG ORDERS. There. Is nssurance, however, that orders for hundreds of thousands of tons of rails have been placed since last Friday at the price of $20 a ton or loss, and that the Indications are that the tall tnlllB hnVo business enough ahead to keep them running several weeks at least. Further orders are expected, for It Is known that railroads are figuring on contracts, with tho idea of placing orders for the rnlls they need In ntl vahce of any possible rise in the price. "But the idea, Hint the cut In the price will have the effect of stimulating railroad construction Is regarded as visionary. A reduction of $5 a ton In the price of rails running seventy-five pounds to the yard Is a saving ot less than $000 a mile of single track, which Is very trilling when compared with the total cost of constructlo.n per mile. Tho orders which have been placed during tho last five days are for rails needed for renewals and for sidings or extensions demanded by tho business ot the respective roads, and would have been purchased sooner or later at any price. Railroad construction, which has fallen olt so greatly during the last few yenrs of depression, will not be renewed until there Is n de in n ml for more railroad facilities. "An authority in tho steel rail trade said yesterday that future prices will depend on the action of the Illinois and Carnegie companies. If they re new the old agreement to stand to gether the price will not fall below $17, nnd It may advance, while, on the oth er hand, It tho antagonism continues, the Carnegie company may make a further cut, and the eastern markets would -then probably find It necessary to reduce their price below $20 to meet it." LANG0WSKI AGAIN ARRESTED. Asked to Tarnish $1000 Hail to An swer n Charge of Criminal Libel. Dangel Lnngowskl, editor of a Pol ish weekly published In this city, was arraigned before Alderman W. S. Mll lat yesterday afternoon to answer a REV. BRONISLAW IWAN'OWSKI. charge of criminal libel, preferred by Rev. Bronlslaw Iwanonlskl, of Prlce buig. Tho suit Is another outgrowth of the troubles between the editor and the priest. Actions against tho editor are on the trial list in criminal court this week, but have been continued. They charge criminal libel and the priest and his housekeeper are the prosecutors. In referring to the pending cases in recent issues of his paper, Editor Lan gowski made certain statements which resulted in his arrest yesterday. He was held In $1,000 balPl'or his ap pearance 'at court. WAS A REAL VILLAIN. It Wasn't Tin .Money or "Run on the Hank" Creeiibiiel.s That He Stole. William Emery, a member of tho Floy Crowell company, is minus $03 through the operations of n thief. Just when or how the money was taken Mr. Emery cannot tell, but he lias an idea. Tuesday night lie cnrelessly left ills pocketbook containing the money ly ing on a shelf In his dressing room at the Frothiimham when he was mak ing his change to go on in "La Belle Russo," When he came back the pock etbook was there, to outward appear ances, Just as he had left it. He put it In the pocket of ills street coat and there it remained until the next night not having had occasion to use it dur ing the day, as he had some change In his trousers pockets which was sufll clent to meet the small expenditures ho made during the day. At night when he again went to his dressing room he took out the pocket book and laid It on the shelf. Another member of the company who happened Into his room remarked to him that he shouldn't leave his pocketbook in so conspicuous a place. With the remark "I guess you're right," Mr. Emery took the pocketbook from the shelf with the Intention of hiding It in his trunk. It seemed to be flatter than it ought to be and opening it lie found to his sur prise and sorrow that it was devoid of everything, except cards nnd rail road tickets. The $03 which was made up of a $50 bill, ten and three ones, was gone. Mr. Emery is firmly convinced that It was taken Tuesday night while he was on the stage, by some one who sneaked up to ills dressing room. That it was not an experienced crook he fools con fident, for two diamond studs and a gold watch were also In sight, the watch being alongside of the pocket book. He has placed the case in tho hands of Detective Sllverberg, but fears that the mystery is beyond the ken of detectives and that ills needful and he have parted company forever.

MAYOR BAILEY GOES OVERJHE ROUTES Wcnlcd to Sec Just the Condition ol Af fairs That Exists on South Side. NECESSITV OF PROPOSED SEWER It Was .Undo Piiiiifullv Appnrcnt Dur ing VeMerdny's Visit to tliu District In Which It Is Intended to Construct n ."Unlit Souer--Condltloii of the Streets That Wcro Passed Over by tliu l'arty--Somc of the Argu ments Presented. Mayor James O. Bailey, accompanied by City Engineer Joseph Phillips nnd Street Commissioner Kinsley, yestor day made a tour of Inspection of tho district on the South .Side in which it is proposed to construct a main sow er. An ordinance providing for tho construction of tho sower has been passed by councils and Is now In the hands of the mnyor for approval or disapproval. It was with a view to making a personal Investigation into the necessity of a sewer In that part of the city that the mayor visited tjio South Side yesterday. What he saw certainly must have convinced him that a sewer in that part of the city Is a crying necessity. His honor, of course, refused to com mit himself as to what his action with reference to the ordinance will be, but utter tho light that was thrown on the subject for him yesterday, It is not likely he will veto the measure unless he decides that the building of the sewer under tho present ordinance would entail considerable litigation and finally result in leaving the city with a lot of sewer liens on Its hands that it would have no means of collecting. It has been the general impression that the fifteen dnys allowed the mayor to sign the ordinance would elapse next Monday, but he announced yesterday that the ordinance was not placed In his hands until Feb. 2 and thnt he has until Wednesday, Feb. 17, to decide what action he will take relative to it. Tills being true, it Is more than probable that he will hold his approval or disapproval of the ordinance back until after next Tuesday election day. TIIE The TOUR OF INVESTIGATION, mayor and his companions left the city hall yesterday afternoon at 2.30 and reached the South Side by way of the new bridge, touching the sewer route at Front and Mooslc streets. The party drove east on Mooslc street to Stone avenue, cross ing an open sewer several feet wide, which flows under Mooslc street, be tween Pittston and Prospect avenues. Along Stone avenue the gutters wero choked with ice, and at the street in tersections great sheets of Ice com pletely covered tho roadway. At Orchard street and Stone avenue an old man was at work cutting away the Ice so that the gutter might be opened up. At Stono avenue and Willow street, the end of the Willow street branch of the proposed sewer, there was an other mass of Ice, and notwithstanding the wnrm weather of the last few days which has dissipated every vestige oi ice in almost every other section of the city, Willow street down to Pittston avenue was more than half covered with Ice where the surface water flow ing down tho hill had frozen nnd caused great quantities of ice to accu mulate. What the hill must have looked like during the cold spell ot two weeks ago, It required no very vivid imagination to picture. Beech street hill was in the same deplorable condition, and when the party was going along that street the attention of the mayor was called to the fact that nearly every cellar has more or less water in it for the greater part of the year. KEEPS AN ENGINE AT WORK. One man on Pittston avenue has an automatic engine in his cellar which no keeps running almost constantly pumping water and yet lie Is not uble to keep tho cellar dry. It Is claimed that the cellars are not "naturally wet and that their condition is due to the surface water that comes tumbling down the hill In tireat volume during storms and spring thaws. Elm street hud its share of ice above and be low Cedar avenue. That thoroughfare was not aflllcted with ice, but mud and stagnant pools of water are equal ly as gieat u. nuisance there. At Elm street and Remington avenue there Is a pest hole that must be a great disease breeder in warm w.eather. From Elm street the party moved along Cedar uvenue to Maple street and then went east until Pittston. avenue was reached. As the wagon turned Into Pittston avenue City Engineer Phillips said: "This is nothing better than a cess pool." Tho appearance of the street seemed to warrant the statement. In the deep gutters on each side of the street streams of water -vyere running and here and there were great heaps of ice. A thick, pasty mud covered the street and puddles of dirty water were encountered every few yards. At this point Pittston uvenue Is at the foot of the hill and Is the lodging place of ev erything that comes down in the open sewers from the hill. Further soutli the land takes a dip and Codnr avenue becomes the common repository for the tilth of the district above. On Pitts ton avenue Select Councilman West pfahl, S. S, Spruks and others were met who grew eloquent In relating the necessity of a sewer in that part of the city. MR. SPRUKS' ARGUMENT. "I have a house here 'that cost me $0,000," said Mr. Spruks, "and I don't suppose I could get $4,000 for it because the man who would buy that kind of a house would insist on having sanitary surroundings." "Edward Maloney has been desirous for years of putting up a modern brick row of buildings on a corner lot he has on this avenue," remarked Council man Westpfahl, "but It has been Impos sible for him to do so because this re gion is not sewered. Give us a sewer and this part of the city will take u now lease of life. AVTthin live years af ter the time the sower is laid Pittston avenue will bo paved and rank with the finest streets In the city." After gaining a thorough knowledge of the condition of Pittston avenue and the Intorsectliiir streets tho mayor und his party returned to city hall. No where on the route was a single protest entered against the construction of the sower. Those who oppose it did not put In an appearance and those who favored it were numerous and very adlcal in expressing their opinions. TWO DRAMAS FINELY PRESENTED. Seen at the I'rothiiigliam Yesterday Afternoon mid Kvoniug. "Temptation of Money," a four-act drama, was produced at the Frothing ham last night by Miss Floy Crowell and her company before a well pleased audience. Tho drama Is one ot strong human Interest nnd In tho hands of the Crowell company is Veil worth seeing. At the matinee "A Fatal Error" was given. Tho usual excellent specialties enlivened both performances. This afternoon tho company will bo seen In "La Bello Husse" and tonight in "A Fatal Error." MARRIAGE WON'T HOLD. Was Within tho I'orliidduu Degrees of Kinship nnd a Crime. Harry II. Ptlagor, aged 20, of Ber wick, is in tho Lacknwanun county jail charged with mnrrylng his step daughter, which is within the forbid den degree of kinship according to the statutes of this state. Ills brother-in-law by his ilrst wife, John G. Cox, of Bloomsburg, Is the complainant. Tho marriage took place In this city Jan. C. The license was secured from Clerk of tho Courts Thomas, and the ceremoney was performed by Rev. Jo seph K. Dixon, of the Penn Avenue Baptist church. Pflnger went home with his bride nnd commenced house keeping, thinking no one would have any Objection to Ills marriage, and not realizing that ho had been guilty of nny serious wrong. Ills brother-in-law, however, had objections, nnd af ter consulting an attorney, came to this city and swore out a warrant for Pllager's arrest before Alderman Mil lar. Olllcer Jack Tlornoy went to Ber wick and arrested him and brought him to this city, where after a healing lie was committed to jail in default of $S00 ball. Pllagor married a widow with three children, two boys and a girl, and also has a son by his deceased wife. On the death of his wife, pursuant to her request, he married his wife's daugh ter, Bessie, 19 years of age, that the family might be kept together. Ills brother-in-law, he says, objects to the marriage only because it will prevent ills folks from getting some money which was left to the deceased Mrs. Pflager. Bessie's brothers are perfectly satis fled with tho arrangement and refuse to go to live with their mother's peo ple, preferring a homo with their step mother sister nnd their stepmother's stepfather husband, A MIDNIGHT BELL. Presented to a .Standing Room House at tho Academy oOIusic. A "standing room only" house wit nessed "A Midnight Boll" nt the Acad emy of Music last night, and laughed Itself sore over humor of Hoyt and the work of Dlgby Bell and his wife, Laura Joyce Bell, who head the strong company which is this season present ing tills masterpiece ot the modern master of farce comedy. The most appreciated passages In the play were the several bits of rich re partee, which administered hard raps at various forms of hypocrisy, nnd in which the author is ever happy. The singing of the "A Midnight Bell" quar tette and the specialty of Ed Redwny were extras that the audience could not get enough of it. LADIES' WHIST NIGHT.
