ELECTION OF STATE DELEQATES. Democrat Will Hold a Convention for 'Thnt Purpose. Tomorrow evening the Democratic standing committee of the Foutth legislative district will hold a meet ing In Fndden's hall, Prlceburg, to name a time nnd place for holding a convention to elect delegates to the state convention to bo held In Reading August 31. This Is the first call of the kind Issued, and is In accordance with the new county rules of the Democratic party. Many members of the four legis lative standing committees of Lacka wanna county object to culling a con vention for the purpose of electing state delegates. They claim It Is the business of the legislative standing committee to do It, nnd that the county convention has the power to take the privilege away from them, or In fact to make laws of any kind for the legis lative districts. The Fourth district call Is Blgned by M. J. McAndrew, of Archibald, the chairman, and F. J. McCaffery, of Jer- myn, secretary, DID BUFFALO BILL'S POSTERS DO IT ? five Small Hoys Lett Town Since the Wild West Ads. licgan. This city seems to be decreasing In its Juvenile population.

' WHAT THE jLAW REQUIRES OP IT Cnnnot llo Kxpoctcd to Work ,Mlrn etc or Ho Impossible Things, livery Effort Is Used to (Jot I'nsson gcrs to Their Destination--If Mr. Vidnvcr Ilnd llocn Patient Ho Would Ilnvo Ilcon Carried to What ever Point Ho Desired to Go to. In view of the recent stalling of loaded trolly cars on Carbon street during the rain that flooded that thoroughfare and in consequence of Attorney VJdnver's suit to recover fares paid to the Traction company, it may be Interesting to know what Gen eral Mannger Silllman hns to Bay on tho matter. There are a good many positive things In Mr. Sllllman's mnke up, and one Is his aversion to being quoted In a newspaper, hut he talked freely with a Tribune reporter Inst night In reference to the Carbon street episode In particular, and said some thing In a general way nbout a trolley company's obligations In transporta tion. "If one of our conductors," Mr. Silll man remarked, "accepts- fare from a passenger we are obliged to carry the latter to his destination. The accept ance of tho passenger's five cents makes us a party to a contract. We would not be telensed, as I understand It, from the obligation even though the overhead wire wns swept away by storm, the tracks submerged by water or the roadbed swallowed In a mine cave. We would not bo expected, however, and we would not be obliged under such circumstances to transport a passenger in any particular car nor within nny specified time or manner. Our obligation would be to use the best means within our power and within reason. THE DID NOT KNOW. "On the night of the Wild West show It was not known to our employes be fore the cars left tho show grounds that Carbon street was impassable. It was known, I believe, nt the power house, but not until the cars had te celved their loads and had started to wards the city. When the trouble wns ascertained our men had no reason to believe they could not open the sewer gratings and let the water run off. "Every severe rain storm that visits' the Pine Biook section of the city submerges the Carbon street tracks to a greater or less extent. Rarely has traffic been wholly suspended there. When It has been suspended we have found an early remedy by sending men Into the water, where they succeeded In keeping the debris from the sewer grating and thus permitted the water to disappear In n few moments. On this particular night, however, the sewer was choked so full between tho source of the trouble n,nd Its mouth that Its capacity was overtaxed and the company was helpless. THEIR BUSINESS TO PLEASE. "It Is to a railroad's advantage to please rather than displease Its patrons and we tried to please them on the night of the Wild West show. We did the best we could, and do not deserve criticism In this particular Instance. "In Mr. Vldaver's case he would have been ttnnsported to his destina tion If he had given us an opportunity to carry out the contract." SCRANTON ELKS AT PITTSTON.
