Jones, of Scranton, One of the Committee at Long Branch, L. I. Colonel Meredith L. Jones, of this city, was one of the reception commit tee that escorted Lieutenant Hobson from Long Island to Long Beach last Fildny on tho occasion of the presen tation of a handsome sword to the hcio of the Merrimnc. Hobson came tn spend a short islt with his filend, Edward J. Gavlgan, of New Yoik, who was sojourning nt the beach. To a Tribune reporter Colonel Jones spoke In the highest terms of tho lieu tenant. He is one of the most natural men he ever met: as natural and com posed under the strain of the ovation tendered to him as when he wns din ing with a select few in the palm room of the hotel. If anything appeared un usual in his demeanor while he was unlcrgolng the llonlzatlon pioccss, It seemed "to Indicate more of wonder nnd surpils-e than any other quality that he should be made tho center of so much admit ation. His speech of ac ceptance, the colonel said, wns tho es sence of modest expression. Ho Is about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, of large but not compact frame. Ho is pretty erect In build, but not as straight as an arrow. His head is large, his forehead standing out in bold relief. His evebrows are overhanging, nnd his eyes are not larse, but are very ex pressive. Ho has u heavy under jaw, but the general expression of his face Is pleasant to behold, and he has a thoughtful, reserved look rather than a deep, studious, penettatlng gaze. Ho Is a powerful swimmer. He and Mr. Gavlgan swam away out beyond tho life line and frisked about In that lati tude for over an hour. Colonel Jones said that Miss Arnold, of St. Louis, who sought a kiss from the hero before tho entire gathering of guests upon his arrival at the hotel, was not envied Her purpose was to achieve notoriety and she got a surfeit before she was through. She Is not, he said, the beautiful glil that the dis patches make her out. Tho colonel said if he had to kiss her it would be a duty not a pleasure, and he said parenthetically that ho hasn't any conscientious scruples ngalnst tho osculatlve art. She Is a girl of plain and unattractive appearance, though she has a wealth of black hair, which the noets say 13 a woman's crown of glory. FUNERAL OP ANDREW NICHOL.

Funeral services over the remnlns of the late Andrew Nicol were held yes terday afternoon at 3 o'clock at th family jesldence, corner of Dickson avenue and Delaware street. Rev. Dr. A. L.

The refreshment stands and dancing pavilion were In the hands of efficient and careful committees, and In every particular the picnic was a succeu. RAILROADS WILL BE PROSECUTED ANTHRACITE ASSOCIATION TO BEGIN VIGOROUS ACTION. Executive Committee. Met in This City Last Evening nnd Discussed tho Mattel Best of Legal Talent is to be Employed Other Membeis of the Association Were in Confer ence With tho Committee, But All Were Betieent and Declined to Oivo Any Detailed Information. The executive committee of the An thracite association met last evening In the ofllcu of tho scretaty of the boatd of trade and after carefully con sldering all the data laid before them determined upon an active and defi nite line f procedure. They ate fully con vine a that the cat lying railroad compr.ilcs mo violating both tho let ter nnd spirit of the Interstate com merce law, to the detriment of the busi ness communities dependent upon tlvi anthracite coal trade, and have decid ed to employ the best legal talent to enforce the provisions of the net. The association Is actively alive to the sit uation and will pursue a vigorous pol icy. Such in a nut shell Is tho business tiansacted at tho meeting. It will be temembered that a convention of prominent business men fiom the an thracite region was held on Juno 2S and 29 In tho boaid of tindo rooms. Tho object that called them together was to dovlbp ways and means for the betterment of the condition of the hnid coal trade, which, everybody knows, has been wretched for many months. They foimed themselves Into the An thracite association Seventy-Ilvo or moie leading citizen i representing e ommerclal bodies of this city, Wilkes Barrc, Plttston, Hazle ton, Mt. Canned, Pottsvlllo and other paita of the anthracite region attended tho convention. Thomas H, Dale, of this city, was chosen president. In the minds of all of them the opinion wat stronglv Intrenched that the condition of tho coal trade was the' resu't of on imjmt discrimination of the cairjlng roads in favor of bituminous coal. THE EXECl'TIVE COMMITTEE. Permanent organization wns effected and three committees were appointed; a committee to confer with the rail road companies of which W. G. Thomas, of Plttston, wns made chair man; a committee on Interstate com merce, of which Vorls Auton, of Mt. Carmel, was made- chairman- and one on laws and legislation, of which Col onel Meredith L. Jones, of this cltv, was made chairman. These three gen tlemen compiised the executive com mlttpe that met last night. The sec rotary, W. K. Lotel, of Mt. Carmel: President Dale, Samuel B, Price, of Hazlcton, and John C. Berner, of Ha zleton weie present besides. They spent from 7 o'clock until 9.20 in de liberation. The committee has obtained data, thoy claim, to provp that tho carrying roads are violating the provisions of the Interstate commerce law. The freight on hard coal Is from 7 to 11 mills per ton per mile, and on S-oft roal from H,ito R mills. The I'nlte'd States lav5 nnd tho laws of Pennsvl vanla are plain In their opposition to freight dibcrlmlnat'on. The state law says that "no unjust or undue dis crimination shall be allowed by carry Ins companies, rail or canal; and freights of like character shall not be canied in the iamo direction and In tho same manner at different propor tionate rates." Remedies to better the trade are two- one the construction of a coal car rying road to New York that would charge .a fair haulage rate, or action against the present carrying companies to compel them to ndjust the tates on hard coal to a lensonablo basis. MEMBERS WERE RETICENT. Tho lattor action Is the one to bo aimed nt for immediate relief. The members of the committee in conver sation with a Tribune teporter after the meeting said they propose to take action Immediately. They have, thoy say, an abur.dnnce of evidence to pte sent the strongest kind of a case be fote the Interstate commission or any other tribunal they may determine to go before. But for tho present they prefeired not to outline their policy in any specific terms. Colonel Jones winked across the table at Mr. Auten and remarked: "Wo lavvvers do not try our cases out of court, do we?" He said they had secured evidence that In Scranton a large order for soft coal has been given and intimated that It was one of the links In the chain of discrimination gainst anthracite. NO STRIKE IN VIEW. John Fahey Contradicts a Recent Disquieting Rumor. John Fahey, of the United Mlno Workers' executive committee of Scrantcn, according to the Wilkes Barro Times, contradicts the report from Hnzleton, that the anthracite miners intended to go on strike about Sept. 10, their grievances being the rat f wages, tho company stores, the docking system, and the high price charged for powder by the employers. Mt rahey says there will be no strike, and adds that the order Is strong enough and conseivatlvo enough to settle all controversies that may arise between It and tho com panies, and that this will be done ami cablv Tho railroad companies nnj now discussing a more equitable ton nage rate, which will put the mining companies on a better basis. "Remember the Maine." When tho news carried by swift dis patch boats to the nearest cable sta tions wns flashed over tho wire to tho great news centres of tho cniuntiy, tell ing tho patriotic American public of tho wonderful piece of daring perform ed by Lieutenant Hobson and his gal lant volunteers, every Amerlcun had a pit tine In his own mind of Just how the scene appeared. Every American knows the result of the attempt, how tho doomed collier, In spite of tho storm of shot and shell which rained on her from tho Spanish guns, was sunk almost where Hobson had plan ned to sink her, how ho put off In n smnll boat with hln brave fellows, was captured by tho Spanish, and nfter vaids exchanged. Pain, the greatest nitlst of fireworks, tho country ha'i ever known, has created a vivid blaz ing picture of fire, of this event, nnd "Tho Sinking of tho Merrlmac," is now presented tn the gaze of patriotic citi zens In a way that thrills them, and rouses their patriotism to the highest pitch. This wonderful plctuie with brilliant fireworks will be shown in Scranton on the evenings of Monday and Tuesday, Aug, 'G nnd 16, at Laurel Hill park, together with n patrlotl. land concert of American national airs, by the famous Bauer's band. Tho name nf the Paine rirewoiki company, Is suCklrnt guarnntce of an adequate performance, and In order to place this Steal LDcctnclc within the reach of nil. the price of admission has been fixed at 2Sc, nnd "."c. additional for the grand stand Boxes seating eight, $3. The advance sale of sents will open at Powell's music store on Aug. 11. DOQ VALUED AT $200. Chief of Police Accused of Stealing the Animal. Pretty nearly all of Dickson City's representative citizens atended the hearing of tho chief of police, AVIUIam Kennedy who was arrnlnged before Jus tice of the Pence M. W.'Cummlngs, of Olyphnnt, nnd charged with stealing a dog valued at $200 and owned by Jos eph Kolchnskl. It appeared from the evidence given thnt Kolchenskl's dog wns running nt large on tho stiects unmuzzted, nnd on the evening of Augusts bit Wojclceh Soboclcnskl nnd previous to that date other persons Chief Kennedy wns notified nnd proceeded to the street where Kolchcnskl resided and caught tho dog running at large without a muzzle. He took the dog In charge and tied It up for the night. Some guilty, but unknown person, broko tho rope that fnstoned tho dog and it went home. Several witnesses testified to the fact that tho dog was seen around the premises of Kolchcn skl the next day. There being no evidence to convict Chief Kennedy of stealing the dog a decision wns given in his favor and ho was discharged' SCRANTON MAY GET IT. State, League of Republican Clubs May Convene Here Next Year. Some of this city's most active mem bers of the State League of Republi can clubs have hopes of bringing the 1899 convention of tho league to till city. They will probably make tho ef fort during the convention nt Pltts butg, Sept. 7-9. Some evidence of pros pective success appears In the candi dacy of George Llewellyn, of Wilkes Larre, for the presidency. Scianton's active suppott of him may give this city the nt convention and a vlco piesldent to boot. For a vice-presidency Attoinevs M. W. Lowry nnd John M. Harris have been suggested.

T resident Sobel has given out this statement concerning the convention: "The outlook for the eleventh annual convention e.f the Renublica league pton ises to be the most largely at tended and enthusiastic ever held In dications point to a lepresentatlon from counties never before In the league. The announcement by Chairman El kin, of the ttnto committee, that tho fall cimpalgn will open on one of the convention nights will bring thous ands of neat by Republicans to tho city. BUSY CONVENTION. "As near i's can be detei mined nt this time there will be three morning sessions, the afternoons being devoted to banquets, boat rides, drives and sight-seeing. And em one of the- nlghU will bo held n mass meeting at which all the Republican candidates on the state ticket, nnd also some of the most noted oiatois in tho country will s-pcak.

Scianton, Harrlsburg, Erie, Wllllamsport, Lebanc n and Wllkes-Barra will also send largo rep resentations Great Inteiest Is being manifested in tho election of the dif ferent ofllcers. 'Tor preslJent there will bo a very exciting contest. I understand thnt tho following aie candidates: Arch Mack roll, of this elty; R. H. Shlndle, of Yoik; George J. Llewellyn, of Wllkes Batrc, will also send large representa tions. Gieat Inteiest is being mani fested In the election of the different oiriceis, "For vice piesldent seven are to be elected, and there are about twenty-fo'-r in the field. Tor recording secre tary there aie three candidates, and two foi tieastttei. These, election con tests w 111 surely add great interest to the convention and add largely to tha attendance.

It is doslied by the officers that this association should not be confounded with tho American Protective association as there is no similarity or affinity what soever existing between the two. The American Protestant association was organized in Pittsburg In lc5? nnd has steadily grown In strength, numbers and importance. To those not fully acquainted with this order the following official re sume of their constitution may bo of interest: ITS PRINCIPLES. "The American Protestant associa tion is composed of American citizens, native and adopted. It Is purely Ameiican in its ehaiacter and Piot estant in its principles. It requires an unswerving suppoit of the authority oi the government, and a strict obedi ence ot Its constitution and laws. Its alms are to sustain right against the encroachments ot wrong. Its teach ings Inculcate the largest charity. It enjoins upon all the principles ot pro bity, rectitude and virtue, and tho members pledge themselves, as far as In theii power lies, to preserve invio late that most glorious privilege, 'Lib erty of Conscience,' nnd to protect all good citizens fiom violence, oppression and wrong. It upholds the public schools nnd the reading of the Holy Bible therein, without note or com ment, and Is opposed to any part of the school funds being used to dissem inate sectarian vlewt, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant. "The order is not opposed to Immi gration, provided the seekers of homes in this glorious republic leave behind them their foreign ideas, and nro will ing to become Ameiican citizens, and be governed by the laws and customs of our country; but In Its principles nnd teachings it opposes in unmoas uied terms the immigration of anarch ists, socialists and others of their Ideas, and is strictly opposed to the impor tation ot pauper labor. "There is nothing In our order but will bear the light of day. Our se crets are the signs of recognition." Both Legs Cut Off.
