About This disc.
Peter Sweeney, a young man whoso
home Is on rivnon street, was nrrest
ed yesterday for burglary. The case
Is a curious one. Mr. and Mrs. Georgp
Henrn, of Hampton street, nre the pros
ecutors of Sweeney. It appears that
on the night of March 3, 1S97, a tabic
rloth, seal skin sack and other stuff
was taken from thellearn house.
Mis. Hearn swears that on that par
ticular night she saw young Sweenev
leaving her house with a bundle In his
nuns. It was at 1 o'clock In the morn
ing and Sweeney, It lb said, was In his
barefeet cr wore only stocking?. De
tective John Molr went to the Park
Hill section and when Sweeney spied
1.1m he ran. Detective Molr simply
left word at Sweeney's house that if
the young man did not put In an ap
pearance at the police station lie would
be brought there.
A few minutes after Detfetlvr Molr
'1 cached the police station Sweeney,
almost breathless, came in, He snld
that he had run all the way from Park
Hill to head off Molr. Sweenev was
taken to Alderman Howe's office and as
burglary Is not a bailable offense Swee
ney was committed to the county Jail
to await a hearing.

FROM A WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW
She Tells All About Yesterday's Base
Ball Contest.
DID NOT GO TO SEE SULLIVAN
Sho Snw Him, However, hut Did Not
Think Him ns llnudsnmo n AInn ns
Mr. Kcclo-Aftcr Tiring of Asking
Questions About tho Gnmo, Sho
Sho Decided to Wrlto tho Nntlonnl
Gnmo ns Sho Saw It.
There Is no reason in the world why,
when a woman begins to tatk about
base ball, every man In the vicinity
should immediately proceed to smile
pityingly and with a sort of pathos.
It Is rather exasperating to her when,
thirsting for Information, she asks
come little question about the game,
to see men look at each other In a
queer kind of wa as if sho had been
swearing, or they had been caught in
the midst of a recital of something
not designed for women's ears.
Now a woman went to the game
yesterday. Unlike the other people
who flocked to tho park she didn't go
to see Sullivan, but to learn about
base ball. For the most part her efl
forts to acquire knowledgo were not
marked with as much success ns If
they had been treated with more grav
ity by those of whom she expected in
structions. When much tumult aioso
over somo apparently trivial Incident,
after somo Importuning on her part
she wns told that "Donner's chuckled
on the middle pad; a performance on
"Bonner's part which may have been
eminently praiseworthy, but which
needed further elucidating to bring It
to thp range of her feminine compre
hension. When sho anxiously inquired
why. If the men wore spikes in their
shoes, these protectors did not enable
them to keep from sliding to the end
of the league, her question was greet
ed with so much levity that she de
cided to pursue her investigation un
aided except by her own intuition
and Judgment. This determination
was confirmed when in an unguarded
moment she again asked why only one
man at a time was allowed to wear
tho somewhat unshapely bib apron,
which was in evidence. The wither
ing scorn which this Innocent enough
inquiry called forth influenced her
decision to Just tell all she knows about
that game.
In the first place it seems to he neces
sary to mention tho fact that John L.
Sullivan was there. He would be a
very good looking man It he wasn't so
fat. As It Is he cannot be called as
handsome as our own umpire, Mr.
Keefe, who, in civilized clothes, and a
modest manner really behaved very
nicely. Mr. Sullivan stood In the mid
dle of the lot well out of harm's way.
It was a good thing for him that he did
so, for there wasn't any bib apron, nor
a muzzle big enough to fit him, and he
might have been hurt, which would
probably have cost our association
more 1 than he was worth to us. It
was rather disappointing though to the
ladles who hoped to see him at closer
range.
He had a very still, small voice yes
terday. Once In a while you could hear
a faint whisper "Baw 1 1," but only
after a man had dropped his club and
walked disconsolately out of the ring
was it certain what the umpire was
umpiring. It is a pity the association
hadn't thought of providing a mega
phone for his use. Aside from his voice
he was so big that when a small man
they called Glllon was over In his vicin
ity throwing ball, he seemed to be a
little uncertain where to aim It, as he,
couldn't see around the lot, owing to
the umpire's all pervading presence. It
seemed according to the popular senti-v
ment that very questionable proceed
ings were going on in the places w here
Glllon couldn't see, on account of the
Intervening form of Sullivan stealing
was one of the things mentioned. There
really should be more policemen up at
the ball park. It is understood that
since Mr. Sllllmnn's order regarding
free street car rides for patrolmen when
not on duty, that there aren't enough
ofllcers there to prevent base stealing,
or almost any other crime unprinci
pled visiting clubs may perpetrate.
There seems to be a great Improve
ment In the Scranton Base Ball team
over what it was In the past. There
aren't so many mnrvelously fat men
with queer names, and then somehow
the players now don't look as if they
had groveled ns much as they used.
Quilted nether garments also appear
to have g,ono out of fashion, the men
now wearing sensible enough bloomers
which don't look quite ns ridiculous
as tho golf suits of Country clubltes.
One man yesterday wore gay red stock
ings, Those who assume to know say
that It Is because he Is the richest
member of the club that this distinc
tion is allowed Ho couldn't seem to
run any better thus arrayed than the
other individuals more soberly clnd.
The uniform of the Scranton team
iBnt' pretty, that is as far as color goes.
It seems to be rather diversified, but
yet not distinctive enough to suit the
overage woman spectator who hates to
be dlscoveied "rooting" if that is what
her soft little squeals may be termed,
for tho advetsary.
Mr. Smith belongs to that side. Yet
yerday ho wore a shirt with the first
Initial of his name carefully wJiked,
monogram-wise thereon. He was the
only man who ventured to hit tho um
pire and there wasn't ns much of a
row about it as one might Imagine.
Everybody was particularly pollto to
the umpire. Manners certainly have
Improved In base bail. Mr. Glll.n ap
peared to occupy a wider range of posi
tions in tho popular heart yesterday
than any man In the crowd. Uo was
the one who did Delsartean poses and
had a llttlo kick like a skirt dancer's.
Whet he tkiew the hall very well the
peonla ctied "He's doing all right,
told you he would." When the wrong
man ran entirely around the pat:h af
ter Mr. Glllon had kindly thro.vii thq
ball so that it was convenient for the
man who happened to have a club,
the same people all groaned: "Didn't
I tell you? Ho can't pitch." Then
when he got film-flamed by the same
fellowi who film-flamed the Wllkes
Barro darkey, and afterward let
another fellow fall on a burlap,
tho very same men all yelled.
"Kill him! Fine him!" and set
to work estimating tho sum of tho fine
which r&nged vnrlouely from ten dot
lars to fifty dollars. Then when Jvj
finally saved the game by doing some
miraculous feat that Is probably now
forgotten, all the people loved him and
wanted to take him to their hearts.
Talk about the caprice of the Roman
populace or the French communists!
The man who held tho club seemed
also to hold the article they call a dish
In great veneration If not affection,
He frequently dutted It off tenderly
with his cap and evidently felt grieved
when somebody came racing around
and ploughed the dirt over It with his
Rhoulder. The fashion some ball play
ers havo groveling In tho dust In to be
depreciated. It doesn't bIiow much on
the Springfield's nttirc, but it Isn't Im
proving to the dark bluo bloomers of
tho Scrnnton boys.
Manager Grlllln Is really the best
looking man In tho crowd, not even ex
cepting handsome Mr. Bonner. Tho
association disclaim having selected
him for his good looks, but he is rath
er too dignified to run around tho patch
in the abandoned manner which char
acterizes the gait of the others. Prob
ably this -accounted for tho fact that
he didn't run around but onco yester
day. Mr. Duncan, of the Springfield team,
Is an excellent dodger. He had the club
for a short time, but didn't seem to
enro to use It, and the umpire let him
go and sit on iho grass.
Mr. Iiannon, of the adversaries, bears
every indication of having been
brought up In Scranton, and of having
had to run for his life because of reck
less bicyclists, street cars and grocery
boys, since he could surclv run with
much exertion on the part of the spec-te-torB
along toward tho last of the
game. They really hud been behaving
ery well up to that time, but the tall
man who threw tho ball for tho enemy,
seemed to need encouragement; so the
people cheered him with much vocif
eration. He enjoyed It. Every little while
he looked toward Mr. Sullivan and said:
"You can see that I'm really a great
personage. I can't help being popu
lar." While he was thus engaged a
little man by the name of Barry, who
also can get over the ground, another
named Massey nnd a Mr. Eagan, of
the Scrnnton team, did something
which pleased everybody very mucn,
and there was a kind of a riot. The
people out on the grasp, at the right of
tho big shed began hopping up and
down, much after the fashion of Mexi
can beans, and tho yells that resound
ed caused two boys on the culm pile,
in the distance, to lose their perch and
tumble down without the aid of the of
ficer set to protect the Interests of tho
association.
Just what It was all about the wo
man, who had been learning the game,
couldn't find out until she had nearly
reached home, when it accidentally
leaked out that Scranton had won with
a score of 6 to 5. She isn't prepared to
swear to these figures, but refers you
to Mr. Raynsford's carefully complied
statistics on another page.
FELL FROM TROLLEY CAR
Stephen B. Canlleld, of Vermont, Per
haps Fatally Injured at Madison
Avenue and Pine Slreet.
Stephen B. Canfield, aged Gb years, a
peddler, was seriously, perhaps fatally,
Injured nt 11 o'clock yesterday morning
by falling from a street car near the
corner of Madison avenue and Pine
street. Canfield's home is at Rlch
mordale, Vt. He is now at the Lacka
wanna hospital.
Canfield has been In the city several
weks. Yesterday morning at the cor
ner of Franklin and Lackawanna ave
nues, ho boardPd a Scranton Railway
company's car on the Laurel Hill Park
line, outward bound, and Instead of tak
ing a seat stood on the rear platform.
The car proceeded as far 13 the switch
near Pine street on Madison avenue
when it enpountcred a broken down,
w&gcn which blocked the east track.
It was necessary to return to the
opening of the switch and to take the
west track. In making this movement
the trolley pole was changed and Can
field found himself on what was now
the front platform.
He btood up with two brooms in his
hands and it Is said that Motorman
ReaTdon cautioned him to be seated.
Canfield didn't think this necessary.
The car struck the fro? at the curve
in tho switch with such force that
Canfield was thrown out, the back of
his head striking with full force against
the pave. He was stunned and blood
flowed from a long gash' in his head.
Canfield was carried into a house on
the corner and the Lackawanna ambu
lance was sent for.
Dr. Newbury, the hospital physician,
when he arrived, discovered at onco
that Canfield was badly huit.
At the hospital where ho was taken
it was at first thought that Canfield
had suffered a compressed fracture of
the fckull. His condition last night wa3
very critical. His age adds to the grav
ity of the case.
Dr. Neubury dressed the wound but
no definite diagnosis had been ai rived
at last night'.
Canfield has no friends in this city.
The oar conductor was Louis Blodden.
LATHERS REMAIN IDLE.
Wns a Misunderstanding in the Agree
ments with Siih-Coiitrnctor.
The situation In the strike of the
Lathers' union did hot change yester
day. It was expected that work might
be tesumed on several buildings, where
work had been under contract to sub
contractors, who agreed on Monday to
pay the lG-cent rate, but only on the
new No. 2$ school building, In Oreen
Ridge, was any lathing done.
There yet exists a difference among
the strikers and some of the sub-contractors
in regard to old and new con
tracts. It had been understood during
Monday's conferences that the 10-cent
rate would bo paid on unfinished Jobs
as well as futuro work, but during yes
terday it was learned that somo of the
sub-contractors wanted to compromise
In this particular. Tho consequence
was a refusal on the part of tho lath
ers to begin work until the full conces
sion Is made.
During the day the watch commit
tees did not relax their vigilance. They
toured the city, but did not find any
non-union men at work.

MOOSIC CROSSING
HAS BEEN REMOVED
Fight Between Trolley Company and D.
and H. Takes on a New Aspect.
THE COURT WAS PETITIONED
Itnilrond Company Asked lornn Order
Compelling tlio Traction Compnny
to Tnke Up Its Crossing Over Its
Trucks nt M001I6 .Stntiou--Did Not
Wait Tor Court to Pass Upon tho
jHnttcr--Now Asks Permission to
Wltlidrnw Its Petition.
The stcnm-clectrlclty war over the
Mocslc grade crossing Is still on, anoth
er battle being scheduled for Monday
morning next, when court holds Its
midsummer motion meeting.
The battle was perclpltated yesterday
by tho action of Delaware and Hudson
Canal company's attorneys, James II.
Torrey and Jessup & Jessup, In direct
ing the withdrawal of the petition for a
mandatory order requiring the Scran
ton and Plttston Traction company to
remove their tracks from the crossing.
Judge Gunster declined to summarily
allow tho petition nnd fixed Monday
next as a time for hearing arguments
on a rule to show cause why the with
diawal should not be allowed.
The order was prayed for July 30 and
wns consequent upon tho Traction com
pany's refusal to take up the tracks at
the railroad company's direction. The
Delaware nnd Hudson company claimed
that when tho supremo court denied
the Traction company the use of the
crossing It also denied them bv infer
ence the privilege to maintain tracks
upon It. The Traction company re
fused to accept this vlaw of tho case
and contended that the order of court
simply restrained them from carrying
pafcsengers over the crossing.
They had the same right, they held,
to draw their cars over tho trackB as
any Individual or firm or corporation
would have to draw a wagon or other
vehicle over the crossing.
Seeing that the Traction people would
not heed their demand the railroad
cempany, one week ago Friday, went
into court with a petition for an order
compelling the Traction company to
immediately remove Its tracks. A hear-
i.sg on this petition was fixed for Mon
day next. Sunday morrflng last, how
ever, the Delaware and Hudson com
pany set a gang of men at work and
forcibly removed the bother-creating
rails and frogs. Then, they came into
court yesterday to secure a withdrawal
of tho petition to compel the Traction
company to do the .work, not wishing
to put court to the trouble of compelling
the Traction people to do work that
had already been done.
The Traction people will bitterly op
pose the granting of permission to
withdraw the petition and will also
put n fight to compel the railroad com
pany to replace tho crossing.
