NEWS oiTsMriENDER
Received with Crcnt Enlhiulnsm In
This Clty-.Thoro ttns Quito n
Demonstration nt Greon Hidgc
General Tornl's surrender at Santi
ago caused general rejoicing In this
city yesterday afternoon and evening.
As In the case of the destruction of
the Spanish fleet by Dewey at Manila
the first news the public had of the
Inlportant event was gleaned from the
bulletin board In front of The Tribune
building, which was soon surrounded
by nn caser and enthusiastic crowd,
A few minutes later the news was
posten on several suburban bul
letin boards where It was received
with even more enthusiasm ithan In tho
heart of the city.
The ceneral Impression expressed
was that the surrender will practically
end the war or nt least greatly curtail
Its length. One sturdy old fellow'
whoso form Is not quite ns erect
as It was some years ngo, said: "If
they want more lighting we're ready
for them, but I think they have enough
and will be nnxlous to make peace
on any kind of reasonable terms."
In Green nidge there was quite a
demonstration when the glad tidings
were announced. The gongs on all the
breakers sounded their loudest and
they had no sooner started than tho
engineers In the Delaware and Hud
son vard joined their whistles to t'e
chorus. Their work was supplemented
by the shrill voice gong at the Green
Hldgc Iron works. It was a matter of
regret at the forging company's plant
that their steam was down, which de
barred them from adding their quota
of noise to the general dim.
The sounding of the numerous gongs
gave out tho impression that a big
fire was raging and the General Phln
ney's engine and hoso wagon were al
most instantly on the street chasing
around In search of the conflagration.
Last night tho surrender was tho
one topic discussed in public places.

Otto H. Voekroth was the first Scran
ton boy to enlist in the regular army
previous to the declaration of war. He
was not twenty years old, but not
withstanding the objections of his fam

posInle enter the navy. After his
horsemanship was tested however, ho
was advised to enter the army and
subsequently became one of the Rough

safely through thu battles before San

Just received a letter written prior to
the landing of the first transports at

Dear Father and Brother; You will bo
surprised to hear that 1 am on tho ocean
near Cuba which is now but twcnty-!i,-a
miles away. Wo left Lakeland Juno 1 for
Tampa, forty lnllet, distant. Wo went
on the ship the same day and then lay
in tho lay lit.til Juno 15 when wo pulled
out for Suntlngo do Cuba. I did not seo

tell much about It. I wrlto to let you
know where I am and how I got here.
Wo are tho first soldiers to land In
Cuba. Theie are 20,000 of us in 57 boats.
Wo also had Samr son's and Schley's

tectcd. We aro pulling a barge behind
us. One day wo lot tho fleet and wcro
lost for three hours. Wo wero on tho
ocean all day when they n'lit a gun boat
back toflnd us. If tho Spaniards had
been wise they could have blown ua to
pieces, but we found the fleet all right.
We did not seo any ships but Kngllsh
vessels on tho voyage. We have 40 miles
yet to go so I can't tell yet about 'ho
landing. I ,am writing now so this boat
can tako tho letter back.
I am well and not many have been sUk
on the trip. I will tell about the land
and all the rest In my next letter, en don't
worry about mo for I am as safe as if I

EMBODIED IN A CIRCULAR UETTER
WHICH HAS IJfiBN SENT TO THE
FIRMS AND INDIVIDUALS EN
GAGED IN Tills' COnSTtcCTING
BUSINESS HKKEABOUTS - AFTER
APRIL 1, lS, air; CONNECTED
'triTII THE COUNCIL WILL REFUSE
TO HANDLE CERTAIN MATERIAL.
A llat-footeJ demand has been made
by the Building Trades council of
Scrnnton and vicinity that buildeis,
contractors, etc., cense to awnrd con
tracts for special kinds of bulldlnic
material to out-of-town firms. Over
100 circular letters were Issued yester
day to the builders and others by the
Building Trades committee.
According to these letters, resolutions
covering tha grievance havo been
adopted by the council and will he soon
presented for signature, seriousness Is
added to the position taken by the
Building Trades council in ltd refusal
to handle any of the out-of-town ma
terial after April 1, 1S99.
Following Is a copy of tho circular
letter Issued yesterday to exactly 75
firms and individuals; it fully covers
the point at Issue:
Scranton, Pa., July 14, lkui.
To the Builders, Contractors, Lumber
Manufacturers, Lumber Dealers and
Architects, etc., of the City of Scranton
and Vicinity.
Gentlemen: It Is a well known fact
th.it tho practice of awarding contracts
for wood-ttlm, sash, doors, blinds, stairs,
Intel lor decorations, metal cornice, heat
ing and ventilating to out of town Arms,
who conduct their business on a system
of low wages and long hours, has for tho
last ilvo years, or more, been of great det
riment to both employers and employes In
the wood-working line of this city.
ITS EFFECTS DISASTROUS.
This obnoxious practice is daily en
croaching upon us with more disastrous
effect. Many of our city manufacturers
who formerly carried on a prosperous
business aro today running their plants
with greatly reduced forces, while somo
of them havo entirely been driven out of
business.
Tho prevailing custom of awarding
contracts for material to out of town
(Inns has done enormous Injury, not only
to our several crafts, but also to houio
owners, and tho entire business commun
ity Is affected by It, Inasmuch as through
Its effect thousands of dollars aro going
out of our city, that should remain hero,
and hundreds of woiklngmen are thrown
out of employment and bereft of an op
portunity to provide tho necessaries of
life.
It Is obvious that If this building mate,
rial and decorations be manufactured In
thlsc'ty. It will bring about an Increase In
tho purchasing power of hundreds of men
directly and Indirectly connected with
our industry In this city, it will keep our
shops and mills (which at the present
time are not being worked to one-third
of their capacity) working up to their full
output, thereby finding employment for
hundreds of men who are now walking
about in semi-Idleness.
Therefore we the several trades repre
sented In the Building Trades council of
Scranton and vicinity, deeming it high
time that steps should be taken to bar
out this objectionable competition, with
tho view of placing our city manufactur
ers and contractors In a position to ob
tain contracts tnder ff.lr conditions, have
adopted resolutions to this end, which
will in tho near future be presented to
you by our commltteo for your endorse
ment and signature.
WOULD BE A DISGRACE.
In coinciding with tho plan laid out in
theso icsolutlons we herewith declare,
that It would Indeed bo a disgrace to ev
ery ono connected with our Industry in
this city, should they anj longer hesl
tato to wage war against the prevailing
unfair competition, and permit Scranton,
tho third city in this great state of Penn
sylvania, to bo degraded to tho ranks of
a mere repair shop.
Wo hold that through theso circulars
and the press tho speculators and import
ers of trim and like material will be
amply cautioned, and there being a largo
number of buildings now In contempla
tion and In course of construction In this
city, the Building Trades council of Scran
ton hereby gives notice that unless posi
tive proof Is given that tho material has
been constructed under tho strict union
tules of this city, that on and nfter April
1, 1S03, wo shall refuse to handle it, and
all merchants and others who after tho
aforesaid date will persist In giving their
work to out of town Arms will bo dealt
with according to tho methods already
adopted by us with such Elgnal success,
and inasmuch as all tho different
branches of tho building trades aro
united under one central body, 1. e. tho
Building Trades council, we aro all de
termined as ono man to bring this move
ment to a successful and conclusive Is
sue. Being desirous of avoiding all compli
cations, we hope that as the date set by
us will glvo them ample time to arrange
to meet our demands, that the importers
of trim and other material pertaining to
buildings will pay heed to tho above no
tice. Wo also trust that the city manufac.
Hirers and contractors will co-operato
with us and render us all possible asrlst
ance In our undertaking. All communi
cations relating to the abovo will receive
our prompt and due attention. Wo aro
very respucttuiiy yours,

INTENDS TO MOVE.
Hon. T. V. Powderly Proposes to
Dlsposo ot His Property Ucro and
Move to Washington, D. C.
Hon. T. V. Powderly, commissioner
of Immigration, is contemplating re
moving his family from this city to
Washington, D. C. and there taking
up a permanent residence. He has
had this Intention in mind for some
time past and only delays putting It
into effect In order to dlsooso of his
valuable property at 614 North Main
avenue, his present residence.
Commissioner Powderly is not anx
ious to leave Scranton for aye, nor
has he the much talked of fever of
being a AVashlngtonlan, a disease ac
quired by one after a short stay at
tho nation's capital. It la purely and
simply a business nnd personal neces
sity. His duties are so exacting as to
allow of very little tlmo to be spent
at any period with his family, and Mr.
Powderly has alwavs been very do
mestic. Ho intends entcrlns his
nephew, Edward Dover, whom he has
raised from a child, at the new Catho
lic university at Washington, D. C,
and desires to havo a home for him
to stay at during his collegiate career.
Other family reasons of a more per
sonal nature. demand tho making of
the contemplated move.
Then, too, Commissioner Powderly
does not go to Washington to acquire
territorial possessions, as he is already
owner of a beautiful tract ot land 69
acres in extent known as the Hlghts
vllle estate. This tract lies to the
northeast of the city und immediately
adjoins tho District boundary. II is
partially cleared, the remainlnc ifor
tlons being covered with beautiful
fruit and shade trees. It was origl
nlly a colonial plantation and tho old
home still stands. It Is probable that
the family will reside there and retain
a uortlon of the grounds.
The rest of the property will be divid
ed into lots nnd placed upon the mar
ket. Cars run directly to It, only a
few minutes ride from the capltol. On
the other hand, the whole tract may
be thus sold. Either way Mr. Pow
derly wants to conduct tho disposal
of the tract personally. Tho property
here Is a lot 150 feet front and 162
feet deep. Upon It is a large sized
modern dwelling.
WILL CONDUCT THE COURSE.
Literary Society ol High School Has
Taken Up tho Work.
For many years the Young Men's
Christian association has run the only
lecture and entertainment course In the
city, which was much appreciated by
tho best people as this class of en
tertainment Is elevating and refining
ns well as educational and highly in
structive. Since the Young Men's Christian as
sociation fir the association has given
up the lecture course on account of not
having an auditorium. The Literary
bociety of tho high school feel that the
course should be continued as It is ot
great benefit to the people of the city
and by the selection of proper attrac
tions can be of great value to the pu
pils of the high school.
Therefore the following talent has
been secured for the coming season:
October, New York Philharmonic club;
November, Professor John DeMotte;
December, Leland T. Powers; January,
Dr. R. H. Conwell; February, Lotus
Clee club and Miss Norton.
Tho cost of season tickets is reduced
to $1.50, including reserved seats. A
canvass of the city will be commenced
at once to tako tho orders for season
tickets.

PLAN TO SAVE THE
PAY OF SOLDIERS
Several Thousand Dollars May De Sent
Home Every Pay Day.
SCRANTON SOLDIERS' RELIEF AS
SOCIATION WILL TRY AND OPE
RATE THE PLAN WITH THE ATD
OF CHAPLAIN STAHL - WILKES
BARRE SOLDIEBS SENT HOME $4,
000 OF THEIR LAST FAY FIN
ANCES OF ASSOCIATION BEING
GRADUALLY DEPLETED.
At yesterday's meeting of the execu
tive committee of .the Soldiers' Relief
association there was quite a discus
sion over one feature of the Wllkes
Barro asoclatlon's work. Tho chap
lain of the Ninth relmcnt of that city
collects after each pay day ns much
of tho soldiers' pay as they desire to
have sent home. The money thus col
lected Is forwarded in ono draft to
the secretary of the relief association
at Wilkes-Barre, together with a list
showing what amount should be credit
ed to each soldier. Tho secretary then
distributes the money among the fami
lies according to the chaplain's list.
It was tho sense of yesterday's meet
ing that such a feature if adopted by
tho Scranton association would lessen
the number of relief applications, and,
further, would be In line with one of
tho prlmnry objects of the organiza
tionto help the soldier or his family
In any way possible. 'On motion, the
secretary was directed to correspond
with Chaplain Stahl of the Thirteenth
with a view of having the plan adopt
ed. Its importance is shown in tho
fact that the last draft received at
Wllkes-Barre from 'the Ninth's chap
lain was for about $1,000.
MR. MAY PRESIDED.
Vice-President W. A. May presided
over the meeting. The other members
of the executive committee present
were: Conrad Schroeder, Hon. John
R. Fair, Colonel E. H. Ripple, Henry
Belln, jr., J. B. Dlmmlck, II. J. Con
ger, of Honesdnle, Thomas H. Dale
and D. B. Atherton, secretary.
Approval was given tho following
financial statement of the secretary:

According to tho record of relief cases
about 60 families havo been or are be
ing aided out of the fund. Of tho 40
needy families reported by Chaplain
Stahl, who gained his information
from the soldiers themselves, 10 have
already been helped by the association,
9 wero added to the beneficiary list,
13 were found to bo not In need and 8
reside out of tho city and have not
been Investigated.
RESIDE OUTSIDE .CITY.
As eight of the families reported by
Chaplain Stahl reside outside the city
as do five families already brought to
the relief committee's notice, thirteen
In all, the secretary was directed to
ask the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and Delaware and Hudson
companies to furnish the relief agent
with a pass over their respective lines.
The finance committee reported ad
versely on a suggestion made at a pre
vious meeting, that arrangements bo
made for advancing money to soldiers
who should give orders for their pay
