THIS AND THAT.
A contractor out at Plttsburfr has
been arrested and lined for exploding;
dynamite in quantities not suitable to
public comfort and safety within tho
city limits. The mention of this fact
would probably cause no interest but
for the blasting; operations that are ro
ing on daily in the vicinity of Nay
Aug park. At times some ot the ef
fects produced aro moro than enough
to satisfy the ambitions of the most en
thusiastic specimen of young America
on Fourth of July morning. It may
be all right and perfectly safe, but tho
way the rocks fly about the nuarry in
the vicinity of the picnic grounds
sometimes is enough to make timid peo
ple a trifle nervous. It would seem a
better plan to use light charges or else
confine blasting operations to early
hours of morning when tho park Is not
allvo with men, women and children.
The Sampson and Schley doormat
nas appeared in scranton. This use
ful household article contains lurid por
traits of tho two naval heroes worked
In Jute and wool, and it Is supposed
thtt the visitor will show his prefer
ence In choosing between the two faces
when wiping his feet. Like the Amer
ican flag pocket handkerchief, the por
trait doormat seems like a doubtful
compliment to the subject.
"Williams' Business College" Is still
one of the prominent signs at Dunmoro
corners. Kew people probably asso
ciate the sign with the man who placed
it on the building, or realize that the
Williams mentioned Is now on the
scene at Manila nnd was spectator to
the greatest naval battle of modern
history when the Spanish fleet went
down before Admiral Dewey's gunners.
Williams business college was not a
succoss In Dunmore or Scranton, but
the turn In the tide of men's nffalrs
has suddenly placed the earnest edu
cator, who sadly left the city a few
months ngo, in position where his tal
ents will be better appreciated and
where ho can ufford to laugh at tho
recollection of his discouraging exper
iences In this vicinity. Verily tho world
doth move, and happy is ho who se
cures a seat In tho band wagon at the
proper time!
Speaking of progress, did you ever
notice the advancement In the work
ings of a modern barber shop? I think
"workings" properly expresses the
case. A few years ago the man who
desired a ten-cent shave wns compara
tively safe from torture savo for tho
efforts of the fiend who Insists on giv
ing a shampoo. But now! Why, a
man can get almost anything from a
shave to an operation for appendicitis.
He can not only get It, but usually
cm Rate cm m use
m --
rBEL?
has trouble In escaping It. A weary
traveling man, It Is said, visited a bar
ber shop In this city not long ago nnd
In a spirit of Investigation consented
to tako everything tho shop had to
offer. When the Inmates were through
with him the customer who hnd in
tended to spend ten cents gave up a
dollar and a half to settle for the hair
singe, face treatment, shoo shine,
moustacho dye, bay rum, witch hazel,
hnlr tonic, etc. It takes a man of will
power to resist enterprise these days.
Mnny men are bo modest about their
good deeds that they would seldom bo
known but for ndmlring friends.
Among tho Scrantonlnns who may bo
placed In this class may be mentioned
Mr. Hanley, the kell-known caterer.
Although a Journnllst nnd artist of
much ability, Mr. Hnnley's financial
successes have been In the line of cater
ing, nnd he Is perhaps best known In
this way by the general public. A re
cent Instance of Mr. Hnnley's gen
erosity wns furnished when buffet
coaches were placed on the main lino
of tho Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western rallrond. In equipping dining
room cars on the road, Mr. Hnnley
naturally divided the patronage that
would come to tho station restaurant
In this city, consequently hnd no need
for many of the young girls who had
been employed there. The girls real
ized the fact, nnd there were solemn
faces as the time approached for the
change to bo made. Mr. Hanley ob
served them nnd that settled It. "I
ennnot discharge those girls," ho said
to n friend. "Wo do not need them,
but they shall all stay as long as they
want to." And the force at the Han
ley dining room has remained the snmo
though their labors havo been visibly
lightened.

For Only One Kind of Proposed City
Improvements.
An evidence of the vast number of
city Improvements neglected through
lack of funds appears In tho figures
submitted yesterday by City Engineer
Phillips to tho special joint bond or

Phillips estimates $250,000 as tho
amount required to carry out Im
provements nnd nv city work, for
which plans have ben mnde In his
department or which aro known to be
needed.
The $2!i0,00'i of course would Involve
much work that would be either un

ever .when it is considered that they
nearly nppronch the total amount ap
propriated by councils for all city ex
penses except sinking fund nnd Inter
est for the present fiscal year.

BOILER MAKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
TWO HUNDRED MEN OUT
THE CLIFF WOIVKS.
AT
Now Wage Scale Wns Not Satisfac
tory and When a Summary Head
justment Could Not Se Had the
Men Took Their PailB and Went
Home Company Officials Say tho
Demand Was Indefinite and Was
Not Thorougly Understood.
A wage dispute caused tho shutting
down of tho Dickson Manufacturing
comapny's Cliff work's boiler shops
eslerday nt noon. Tho whole forco
of men numbering two hundred went
out on a strike and up to a late hour
lart. night nothing hnd been done to
bring about a settlement.
About three months ago tho shop
went on piece work but recently thU
wa changed to a day scale. Tho Int
tor system caused grumbling at tho
time and the discontent grew npaco
until yesterday when It culmlnnted In
a demand for Increased wages, $2.50 for
boiler workers; $1.30 for Inborers and
fcO cents for rivet heaters; an Incrcasa
of nbout ten per cent.
At 10 o'clock In the morning the de
mand wns presented to Superintendent
Campbell. He coutd not give them tho
satisfaction they looked for nnd nt
noon they took tip their palls and went
home. The men say they are not ask
ing anything extravagant. All they
want Is a return to the wages they
were getting before the recent scalo
was put In operation.
Genernl Malinger Zehnder says that
he does not fully understand Just what
the men want. Their committee waited
on Superintendent Campbell with an
Indefinite kind of a demand (nd told
lilm the company would havo to accede
to It before 31 o'clock or they would
quit. They were told there could not
be auch quick action in the matter.
OOOD WAGES PAID.
Mr. Zehndtr "lnlms that tho wage-f
pt'Id by the Dickson company Is not
only ns good but even better thnn th-3
average for the same kind of work.
He denies that there is n lnrge amount
of work on hand nnd that tho closing
down of the shops will seriously ham
per the company. Leaving aside the
unpleasantness attaching to n disa
greement with tbe employed, the com
pany would welcome the shut down
just at present. Mr. Zehnder says. Fur
ther It Is n mistaken Idea. Mr. Zchn
der toys theio Is going to be a big
nnd sudden boom In the Iron business.
There will be an awakening nt onco
and a gradual Increase In buslnc?
right along until the trade resumes lt.
normal condition but there will bo no
such Jump a:t some anticipate.
Air. Zehndcr declined to discuss tlw
possibilities of settling the difficulty
with the men. He said he did not oven
havo a thorough understanding of
wifai tho difficulty Is and consequently
was in no position to speak on tho mat
ter. It is likely the men will make a
formal and comprehensive proposition
today .
VERY HANDY COWS.
Increased the Fees of Dunmore's
Poundmaster.
Peter Sawyer, the poundmaster of
Dunmore, wuh given a hearing before
Alderman Millar yesterday morning on
the charge, profer-el bv Tnomas Mc
Donald, that he took McDipald's cow

it.

was securely restrained In a pasture
lot last Sunday morning wh mi ho went

the animal wns In he pounl Anoth
er witness testified to ho 'dug seen the
cow in the pasture tot at S o'clock and
111 the pound at 8.15 o'clock.
No one saw Mr. Sawyer in tho very
act of taking the cow out of the pas
ture lot, as It Is illeged ho .JU, but
the circumstantial evidence win sof
t'clently strong, the alderman thought,
to warrant tho defendant belniv held
for court, nnd accordingly hi called
upon him to furnish $500 ba'l. Sawyei
secured a bondsman and was released.

WEDDING POSTPONED.
Bridegroom Met With nn Unex
pected Obstacle to His Intended
Marriage.
David Haines nnd Louisa Swingle, of
Spring Brook, made application for a
marriage license yesterday to Clerk of
the Courts Daniels. All the prelimin
ary questions had been nsked.answered
and duly recorded and the license was
Just nbout to Issue when the clerk
recollected that there was a protest on
file ngainst the marriage of one Haines
and, thinking this might bo tho party,
halted the proceedings to look the mat
ter up.
It proved to be that the applicant
was the Haines ngnlnst whom the pro
test had been filed. The protest came
from hfs father, William Haines, of
Madison township. It was received last
May and was In the shape of a letter
forbidding tho granting of a marriage
license to his son, who he said wns
born September 10, 1878, and conse
quently not yet twenty years of age.
In making the application the son
had sworn that he wns twenty-two
years of age. The father's evidence
wns taken as the most reliable and the
license accordingly refusedi
The only objection the father had to
tho marriage appears to be that the
Intended bride is n widow, her first
husband having died last September.
She gives her age as twenty-four years.
CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Bolt Strikes Green Ridge Presbyter
ian Edifice.
A bolt of lightning struck the Green
Ridge Presbyterian church at 2.30
o'clock during yesterday afternoon's

Some excited person rnng a fire alarm
from Box 65 at the corner of Green
Ridge and Marlon streets without wait
ing to ascertain the effect of the stroke.
It did not cause a fire, and the com
panies were not needed. Painters at
work in the interior of the building did
not know It had been hit.
The bolt struck tho roof and look a
course to a rear gutter plpi where it
disappeared In th ground. The Incl
dfnt developed tho lnfoi motion that
the building is Insuted $20,000.
A motorman was knocked down by
the bolt of lightning which struck the
church. He wns Frank Raymond, ot
North Bromley nvenue. The car, a
Green Rldgo suburban line enr, was
near the church at the time. Ray
mond had the controller of the car

JOSEPH TAYLOR
TO BE INSPECTOR
MAYOR'S CHOICE FOR PROVI
DENCE PAVING CONTRACT.
Unless tho Mayor Changes His Mind
Today, Taylor's Nomination Will
Go to Select Council Tonight Th.3
Post is Considered a Cholco Plum.
Not Certain that the Nomination
Will Be Confirmed It is to Bo Re
ferred to Committee.
Joseph Taylor, of the West Side, is
Mayor Bailey's choice for Inspector of
the proposed pavement on Providence
road nnd North Main avenue. Unless
some change In the mayor's plans Is
made today, Tnylor will be nominated
It, a communication from his honor to
select council tonight.
The Inspectorship has been the most
largely sought-after piece of patron
age In the history of tho present ad
ministration, excepting, of course, ap
pointments which have meant a per
manent position. It will require Sev
ern! months to finish the contract,
which Is for an asphalt pavement from
Court street to the city line. Aside
from the length of time that tho In
spectorship will last, there are other
reasons for making the post much de
sired by a lnrge number of candidates.
WAS KEPT QUIET.
Taylor's candidacy for the plum has
bft-n kept very quiet, nnd until this
announcement Is made, comparatively
few persons will have learned of It.
Quite different has been tho canvns of
Joseph Brill for tho position. Ho wns
for a time the asslstnnt of A. B. Dun
ning in the street department. His
friends made a vigorous hustle In his
behalf and saw that his candidacy wns
given publicity In the newspapers. But
when the time came for counting noses
in select council, it was found that his
chance for confirmation wns very re
mote. This, too, was despite Mayor
Bailey's approval of Brill's canvoss.
Taylor was a candidate for chief of
police but was set aside in favor of
the now ex-Chief Robllng. Ho was
also an nsplrant for the jtreet portfolio.
He resides on Lafayette street, In the
Fourteenth wnrd.
It was announced with some posltlve
ness last night by a leading Demo
cratic city official that the nomination
would not be Immediately confirmed.
He said thin with an emphasis and
significance of manner, which indicated
that there had not been a settlement
between tho mayor and the Democrats
of select council over the former's dis
position to Ignore the councllmen In
making appointments. This same city
official said tho nomination would be
referred to committee.
THE POTTER CASE.
Another nomination which will, come
up for consideration will be that of
Thomas Potter to be police patrolman.
It has been held up for several weeks.
Tho only other matter of importance
scheduled for disposition at the meet
ing is the passage on third and final
reading of the amended common coun
cil ordinance, which provides for tho
paving of Hyde Park nvenue. Con
cerning this measure, however, there is
no controversy.
SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL WORK.
Son of Captain James Moir Relieved
of Appendicitis.
About two weeks ngo Wilfred, the
youngest son of Councilman Jame.i
Molr, was tiken suddenly III and on
examination wns found to be suffering
from appendicitis. An Immediate op
eration was recommended.
Tho young man was taken at onco
to the Moses Taylor hospital where tho
operation was successfully performed
by Dr. W. G. Fulton assisted by Dr. I.
F. Kverhnrt and Dr. H. V. Logan. Tho
conditions found justified tho speedy
action recommended, ns death cer
tainly would have resulted bad not tho
operation been performed. Tho hid Is
recovering rapidly and Is rejoicing in
tho fact that ho will be an immuno
as far as appendicitis Is concerned.
St. Luke's Summer Home.
Cash donations for the support ot the
home have been limited to $5, from a
k'nd friend, since the last report. The
houso continues filled with needy, but
happpy women and children and will
bo for another four weeks. The funds
for their care aro being rapidly de
pleted, and friends and well wishers
who huvo not Joined In this charltabla
work, aro earnestly requested to help
it along now with their donations,
which may bo sent to Samuel nines,
treasurer, 13fi Wyoming avenue.
