An option on the Scrunton club has
been given to the jiromotoiH of the
local stock company and will be defi
nitely settled In u few days. It Is
tnobable that Mr. ttiooks, nnd possi
bly Mr Simpson, the two active spir
its of the present ownership would be
(ome Intetested In the stock organiza
tion nnd that the former would be its
pi evident.
The Ttlbune leeclved reliable Infoi
matlou from Wllkes-Harre last night
tint the Wilkes-Uaire owners piopose
to ?tlelc, conse'iuontly the stoiy of the
tinnsfcr of these two cities to New
nik and Kochcster can be founded on
nothing mnie thun the wish of n cet
t lln faction to see the thing brought
about.
There Is no doubt that there H a sen
timent In the league ngalnst Wllkes
Huie nnd Scranton. Both have paid
pior returns to -visiting clubs, the for
mer city in paitlcular, nnd Scranton Is
on the blacklist because there was a
rumor that the club would disband In
the midst of last season nnd because
it would not play Sunday games.
CAN DHFV Till; LHAtlUH.
Howecer, now thnt "Wllkes-Barro
proposes to fctny nitl if the Scunton
tod: deal materialises, the two can
defy the league and not be dumped on
to a cold wot Id. The onlv wav the
leacue can be rid of the two cities
without the lattcrs' consent Is to dis
band and that would thiow the i lay
ers of eight clubs on the maiket, a
contingency which Isn't apt to ailse.
C. S. Fowlei, who heads the stock
tompany movement, Is not at all
doubtful as to success. The Scranton
owners are vvllllnsr to wait until the
beginning of the coming season for tho
final payment on the frnnthlse which
would be sold for a sum not far from
$2,r.oo.
Those who favor Mr. Fowler's plan
nre leore'entath" business anil pro
fesslonal men who nre ndmlrei c of the
game. Thev hno expressed their un
willingness to subscribe unless with
the assurinie that Mr. Brooks would
consent lo assume the active manage
ment of the organization. This ilttia
tlon has been made known to him and
It i- likely that he would acquiesi e if
his duties Involved nothing more t Kali
a general sunenlslon an J dlre-'tlon of
tin dub's aitalts
Mn lfiger Giitlln consulted je-terdiy
with Mi. I'owlor and both seem hope

DEATH OF MRS. B. E. LEONARD.
It Oceurrrd nt Hor Homo on .leflcrson
Avenue Vcsterdnv Afternoon.
Mrs B. V.. Leonard died suddenly
yesteidny afternoon at the family res
idence, 12" Jefferson avenue. Tho Im
mediate cause of death was heart fail
ure. Dr. John Burnett, the family phy
sician, had called to se-e Mrs, Leonard,
who, while not seilously III, had been
unwell for some time As Dr. Burnett
was leaving Mis Leonard complained
of a severe pain In the back of her
head. The doctor was call'tl back, and
he prescribed for his suffeilng patient.
Dr. J. K. O'Brien was nlso hastily sum
moned, but the ministrations of medi
cal science produced no relief. Mrs.
Leonard lapsed ejulckly into an uncon
scious condition, and inside of a half
hour from the beginning of the at
tack, she was dead.
The suddenness and the nw fulness of
the shock may be gathered from the
fact that she had been shopping during
the day, and up to tho moment of her
seizure, had given absolutely no evi
dence) cf an afectlon from which se
rious conseciuences might have been
expected by her family. Two members
of the family, Miss Male and Frank,
were in New York nnd were appraised
of the death by telegraph.
The simplicity nnd directness of Mrs.
Leonaid's life make unnecessary any
profuse or extended eulocj. Anj thing
approaching ostentation was so foreign
to her nature while living thnt to call
it into use now would be both incon
gruous aud unworthy.
Mrs. Leonard wan a member of the
chailtable society of St Vincent De
Paul, in which society she was n prom
inent factor. Her private dispensations
of chailty weie also many unci well
hidden fiom the public eye.
She was born In Wnymait, Wane
countv, this state, and she has lived
In Scinnton from childhood. Her hus
band and seven children, Anna, Eliza
beth, Male, Fiancls. Joseph, Ambrose
nnd Wallace, surv ive. No arrange
ments concerning the funeral ceie
monies have yet been made.
