Todnv's Mst of r.ntrlcs.
This afternoon will witness tho open
ing of the four-day horse and bicycle
tace meet nt the Driving Park. All
Indications point toward tho best en
tertainment nnd the biggest attend
ant crowds that have ever accompani
ed a similar meeting In this city.
Af many as 144 horses are entered for
the eight races on the programme nnd
for which $2,600 In purses of from $250
to $300 nre hung up. While the track
has n big stabling capacity, It has
required good management to provide
stabling for the new and local flyers
Yesterday the courso was a hive of
activity The weather was almost
Ideal for the working-out process, and
the horsemen took advantage of It.
All the horses were on edge, and an
evidence of condition was shown In
Hal Pointer's last quarter of a mile
In 31 seconds. Ktta T., Moonstone,
Uaven, Veta and Bert Sheldon nre
some of the stars quartered at the
track nnd waiting for the free-for-all
event on Thursday.
Nevet was the course faster t or In
bettet shape. Them were two smnll
bad spots on tho turns during the
June meeting, but these have been dug
out and clayed, and the track Is said
to be possibly two seconds faster than
ever before. That Is saying a good
deal when It Is considered that the dis
tance Is C8 feet over the mile, and that
the 'pacing record Is 215, held by
Raven, and the trotting record 2.16,J.
held by Bert Sheldon.

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

convention to elect delegates to the

Issued, and is In accordance with the

party. Many members of the four legis
lative standing committees of Lacka
wanna county object to culling a con

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,

THAT TEST SUIT OF
ATTORNEY VIDAVER
General Manager Silllman Defines the
Attitude of Ills Company. '
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."
