Colonel K. II. Hippie and Sergeant W.
T. Simpson left for Hnrrlsburg via the
Deluvvnru nnd Hudson road. In response
to a call from Adjutant General Stew
art. Colonel Hippie Is commissary gcnrrnl
and Sergeant Simpson Is commissary
sergeant on the governor's staff.
Major W. S. Millar, Inspector, and
Major J. W. Oakford, Judge-advocate
of tho Third brigade, have received no
communication whatever from their
chief, Brigadier fSenerul J. I. S. Ooliln.
Colonel II. A. Coursen. commanding
tho Thirteenth regiment, has not ns yet
even received notice that his command
will bo called out.
Such Is the status of affairs in the
National Ou.ird. in division, brigade
and regimental circles, as viewed from
a local standpoint. The division olll
cers are preparing for the calling out
of tho mllttla, and the mllltla expect
to bo culled out. Further than that,
everything connected with the calling
out of the guard Is suppositious.
STOBV WAS falsi:.
When n bulletin came last night an
nouncing that Colonel Dougherty, of
the Ninth regiment, had received a
message from Adjutant General Stew
art.lntlmntlng that his command would
bo called to arms tonight, a Tribune
reporter sought out Colonel Coursen
and, laying the message before him,
asked him If he had received anything
of that character from Harrlsburg.
"No, no," said the colonel somewhat
testily, "and It isn't true that Colonel
Dougherty received any such message.
It Is a false rumor. I am positive."
"Have you received anything what
ever from headquarters that you can
make public?" was asked.
"Yes, 1 received a communication
from Aiijut int General Stewart today
assuring m that there would be no
bullied call of the troops If there is i
call. He did not say that there would
be a call, but 1 expect that there will
be one, and thnt it will come within n
few days. I am satisfied, however,
from the Information contained In the
adjutant general's communication that
If the call comes there will be a couple
of "lays or a week possibly for prepara
tion." All the other prominent militiamen
Interviewed shared Colonel Courseii's
opinion. They laughed nt the reports
that cars were standing in readiness at
the depots rumors placed a special
train at each of the depots and Inves
tigation proved that their risibilities
were littlngly aroused. The Jersey Cen
tral 'kl not send twenty-two cars up
from Wllkes-Barie; the Delaware and
Hudson' had no special train for the
soldiers standing In any of Its yards,
and the D'-laware, Lackawanna and
Western olllclals knew nothing what
ever about any special train on their

Informal meeting and headquarters on
the second floor wns open until a late
hour, olllcers coming In and out to look
after this or that detail, or to find out
"the latest."
There were fully five hundred spec
tators at the armory during tho drill,
lr.any of them being ladles. When the
drill had been concluded and the order
to "break ranks" given there was
spontaneous outburst of cheering from
soldiers nnd onlookers. It could be
heard a block away. Somebody sug
gested a parade and everybody fell In
with the suggestion. Soldleis und c! Lil
ians, in a fairly well kept line, formed
in the armory corridor and headed
down town, yelling nnd cheering like
mad. Tho Tribune was serenaded nnd
cheers given for everybody and every
thing American and Cubnn. All around
town tho enthusiastic throng wended
Its way, marching with yells and cheers
until after 10 o'clock.
It s a llttlng climax to what was
unquestionably the most enthusiastic
day of tho war period so far. Tho en
thusiasm began to show Itself shortly
after noon In the raising of flags
throughout the central city. This was
pmmpted by the announcement that a
Spanish ship had been taken, Indicat
ing that hostilities were on at last in
earnest.

PATRIOTIC HIGH SCHOOL FUP1LS.
Thov Und n Pnrade Around tho Cen
tral City Street.
Three hundred pupils of the High
school at tho conclusion of the session
ycterdav formed in line and with tho
Hags of Cuba nnd the United States at
the head of the column inarched down
to the statue of George Washington,
nnd after giving a hearty cheer con
tinued the march along some of the
streets of the central city.
The pupils then returned to the High
school where the parade wus dismissed.
CAME TO AN ABRUPT END.
Lecture at High School Had to
Stopped Because of Fire in
the Basement.
Be
The Illustrated lecture on "The Uni
ted States Navy and tho Maine Disas
ter" nt the High school auditorium last
evening was abruptly terminated a few
li'lnutes before 9 o'clock. Several ex
cellent pictures of United States. Eng
lish and Spanish battleships had been
shown and the small audience was de
cidedly Interested when the announce
ment wns made that the exhibition
would have to bo stopped, owing to
the burning out of tho electric wire
connecting tho operating machine.
L. C. Osborne, the lecturer, had just
completed his reference to the battle
ship Maine, the picture of which was
greeted with tumultuous npplnusc.whcn
a smell of burning rubber permeated
the auditorium. Several hurried exits
were made, and a number of the School
controllers, who were present, rushed
to the hallway to ascertain the cause.
The janitor of the building hurried to
the cellar and discovered the wire,s on
lire. The current was Immediately shut
off and the flames extinguished without
any damage being done.
The timely action of the young men
in charge prevented a probable confla
gration and stumpede of the audience.
Without much ceremony the discovery
wns communicated to the lecturer, who
calmly nnnounced tho cause of the de
lay and tho assemblage was dismissed.
The operating machine in use is of the
latest design and similar to those used
in cin"omatograph exhibitions. Tho
prompt discovery of tho fire averted
what might have been a repetition of
tho Young Men's Christian association
fire. Thnt conllngratlou was caused by
tho explosion of the films used in tho
machine.
Several of the controllers were much
disturbed over the occurrence, anil It
Is not nt all unlikely that last night's
happening will serve to prevent a re
petition of such exhibitions in tho high
school building. The lecture, how
ever, will probably be repeated in the
nir future.
OTHER GOLD BRICK VICTIM!.
Three Now Cases Como to Might
Since Cnhoii Was Swindled.
Jeweler Cohen, of Spruce street, Is
not the only purchaser of "gold
bricks" In Scranton. There are others,
and. It might be added, In Wllkes
Barre, too. Besides, a victim who
makes u business of essaying gold in
New York, was also duped, and tu all
probability the same man victimized
them all. It was discovered yesterday
that a merchant on Lackawanna av -nuo
was Induced to purchase a quuu
tlty of the metal.
The Wllkes-Barre man purchased a
small quantity nnd the New Yorker ac
knowledged that he was swindled out
of $G0, and believed, from the descrip
tion given, It wus the same party that
engineered all tho deals.
As near as can bo learned the sup
posed gold Is brass plate which has
been pounded Into leaf and plated by
a battery. Tho Imitation Is so good that
even an expert was deceived.

Important Iliuliicm That Win
Trnnsuclod by Them.
The first meeting of the society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
since Inst October was held In tho
board of trade rooms yesterdny after
noon at 4 o'clock. There was present
President J. M. Kemmerer, Secretary
Treasure! Dnlph B. Atherton. Vice
Presidents Thomas Sprugue. Mrs. Wil
liam Sllkman, Mrs. Walter I.. Hen
wood, Mrs. W. E. Thayer, Mrs. W. E.
Anderson and Mrs. Hnzzard. Tho meet
ing wns presided over by President
Kemmerer, and the minutes of the hist
meeting were read by Secretary Ather
ton. which were approved.
The treasurer reported ns having re
ceived from Oct. 1. ISH7. to the present
date $1SG, out of which $K,fi.02 had been
paid, leaving n balance in the treas
ury of $2i).S. out of the latter fund
$15 Is due the society's agent, Brooks
A. Bass, there remaining a ensh bal
ance for current expenses of $14.JS.
The secretary read a letter from Agent
Bass, who has been unable to attend
to his duties lately, owing to Illness.
He referred to his Identity with tho
society during the past eleven years
and felt as though he ought to glvo
up the woik on account of his falling
health.
His services have been Invaluable to
tho society during that time, but nt
times he has been lncapaciated by
rheumatism. During Mr. Bass' recent
Illness Mr. Kemmerer aim others have
looked after the work, but It requires
an active man to perform the duties
necessary.
ENCOUItAGING HEPOllTS.
Reports of an encouraging nature
were received from agents of the so
ciety in Madlsonvillc, Moscow, Dun
more and Pricehurg. nnd President
Kemmerer thought nddltlnn.il agents
ought to be appointed In Carbondale,
Taylor nnd "tlur places. The state
law relating to violators provides that
they nre subject to Immediate arrest,
and It was suggested that the police
officers be directed to act as agents.
Secretary Atherton reported thnt tho
society Is providi-d with all facilities
necessary to conduct the work, except
money, and suggested the advisability
of the lady members assuming tho re
sponsibility of raising a fund of $2."0
a year, necessary to carry on tho work.
On motion of Mrs. Henwood, seconded
by Mrs. Thayer, the vice presidents
will act as a soliciting committee to
raise funds. Contributors will bo en
rolled as members of the society, and
contributions from $1 up will be re
ceived. A cheek of 2i"i from Mrs. E.
B. Sturges was acknowledged by tho
secretary.
A committee of three members, con
sisting rrf Messrs. Thomas Sprague,
Walter I... Henwood and J. M. Kem
merer, was appointed to secure nn
agent for the society to continue Mr.
Bass' work, and, on motion of Secre
tary Atherton, tho committee is em
powered to employ a suitable person
at a salary of $20 a month.
WILL CONFER. WITH MAYOR.
The suggestion of having police of
ficers act as agents was acted upon by
the appointment of a committee, com
prising Mrs. Sllkman, Mrs. Thayer and
Mrs. Henwood. to wait upon Mayor
Bailey and request him to Instruct po
lice officers to arrest all offenders of
tho lnw relating to cruelty to animals.
The committee will wait upon the May
or on Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Much Interest was manifested In the
work by those present, and the efforts
of tho lady members adds much to the
work being done by the society.
The lady vice presidents will consti
tute the soliciting committee, and each
one will endeavor to raise $33 towards
the expenses of the work. They will
hold a meeting In a few days and de
cide upon n plan of action to raise the
amount necessary to carry on the work.
Contributions may be sent to Secretary
Atherton, board of trade building.

furnish him with transportation to the
nearest recruiting station. Ho was
doubly disappointed when told that ho
could not be sent by the city author

on a train going South earlier In tho
day, but was put off at Moosic.

Yesterday, his bondsman, Simon
Porfruan, renting that he would not
bo on hand, when the case would be
called had him nrrested on a ball piece
and surrendered him to the sheriff.
Attorney Nuthan Vidnvcr went be
fore Judge Edwards and explained the
circumstances. Without much ado, tho
Judge directed that Feldman be re
leased on his recognizance. Mr. Vlda
ver intimated to court that Feldman
might not be able to respond nt the

a meanful way gave Feldman to under
