ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR THE
Ludwig
Piano.
The new DUPLEX SCALE pro
duces a volume of tone of the
rarest quality. It sounds like a
beautiful harmonic added to the
regular tone and can be softened to
the faintest pianissmo or increased
to nearly twice the volume of an
ordinary piano.
Ludwig people are always in the
front with anything of real merit
and to hear ttie DUPLEX will con
vince anyone that they have a grand
invention.

EARNEST AlEN LISTEN
TO EARNEST WORDS
FIRST GUN OE CAMPAIGN FIRED
IN WEST SCRANTON.
Speeches Delivered by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney W. Gaylord Thomas,
Jnmcs Evans, of Mercer; R. A.
Zimmerman, W. G. Thomas, of
Lansford, nnd Hon. John R. Fnrr.
E. E. Robnthan Was Chairman of
the Meeting Jenks' Career Re
viewed by Mr. Zimmerman.'
Despite the blustery wind and lain
stoi m which prevailed durlns the early
uveiilng a wood sized nssemblacu was
tit Ht. David's hall last night to wit
ness the opening of tho Republican
campaign in Sciunton. TIioubIi the au
dience wns not, in the mnttcr of size,
what It would doubtless have been hud
the weather been any way propitious,
It was by no means dlnilnltlve In the
matter of enthusiasm. Kvery speaker,
every telling point In his speech nnd
the mention of every Ilepubllcnn can
didate's nniiio wns greeted with an
pluuse that was demonstrative enough
for u gatheiing twice as large.
Theio was no lack of opportunity for
a display of this enthusiasm. The
spenkeiH were men capable of enter
taining, Instructing nnd edifying, and
made the most of the favorable oppor
tunities the occasion presented for an
exercise of these capabilities.
Among them was James M. Kvans,
of Mcicer county, a former lesldont
of Scranton. Thirty yents ago he lived
in l'.Uagonla nnd Tnylorvlllo and
worked In the mines for fifteen years.
He Is now one of the leading citizens
of AVestern Pennsylvania, and one of
the best known AVelshmen In tho coun
ty, his bardic name, "lago," being a
household woid In cciy AVcIsh com
munity. He is engaged in the insur
ance business, but dmotos much of his
tlmo to llteiaiy woik, being a regu
lar contributor to the leading AVelsh
papers and periodicals.
MR. THOMAS' REMARKS.
Another of the speakers wns A O.
Thomas, of Lansford, one of the moht
prominent of Carbon county's attor
neys, although a young man scarcely
out of his teens. That his nullity us
a, speaker is not of the ordinary kind.
Is nttested by tho fact that he is on a
tour of tho state under the auspices of
tho btate committee.
In uddltlon to these men from abroad
were R. A. Zimmerman, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney AV. Gayloid Thomas,
Hon. John R. Farr and n. 12. Robn
than. The last named, ns committeeman
from the West Side, called the meeting
to order. He said It wns eminently
proper thnt the first gun of the Repub
lican campaign in the Klectilc city
should bo ilred in Hyde Park, tho Glb
raltor of Lackawanna Republicanism.
There has been street talk, he said
to tho effect that tho attitude of the
AVe-st Side just at present leans towards
mugwumpery. Ho doubted this, but
even if it wns true he felt assuied that
when election day rolled around and
tho votes were counted Hyde Park
would be found giving one of her old
tlniu majorities.
Ho then Introduced as chairman of
the evening Assistant District Attor
ney Thomas whoso popularity was
very emphatically attested by tho re
ception accorded him. Mr. Thomas
dwelt briefly upon the significance of
public meetings, the privilege of free
speech und tho equality of nil men
In the eyes of tho law. Particularly
aro all men equal, he said, when they
are in the election booth. This equal
ity and the light that goes with it
should not be lightly thought of. To
barter it means the Jeopardizing of our
liberty. Reverting to the ciy of the
Democrats that thero are not national
issues at question in this campaign,
Mr. Thomas called attention to tho
fact that theie are thirty congressmen
to bo elected In this state this fall,
then went on to review briefly the im
portance at this particular time of
keeping intact a Republlrnn congress,
that will prevent the vicious legitla
tlon with which tho country was
threatened two ycais ago,
WAS AVARMLY GUEI2TED.
A hearty outburst of applause greet
ed the appearance of Mr. Evans. Ho
acknowledged It gracefully and spoke
for a few minutes in a nelghboily way
of his old associations in Hjde Park
and of the prominent men of the place
in his time, several of whom were pres
ent to hear him.
Ho then went on to say that In 1SSI
the Democrats resolved that tho war
was a failure and named McClcllan v
stand for that idea. Ger.rgo A. Jenks
voted for McClellan. Mr. Jenks, he
said, is afiald to say that he Is a free
sllverlte, a free trador or anything
ilse, except that he Is bent on reform
ing the Republican party. Now, I be
lieve tho Republican party Is able to
reform Itself without the aid of Mr.
Jenks or any other Democrat. AVo will
attend to our own family quanels.
Tho history of Democracy in this
county Is one of paralyzed Industry
and general distress. AVith the elec
tion of McKlnley enme a return of
prosperity. If you believe you made a
mistake in noting for AVIIlIam McKln
ley do not vote for any Republican
candidate this fall.
He paid a beautiful tribute to Col
onel AV. A. Stone with whom he Is per
sonally and intimately acquainted,
speaking of him ns a man, a neighbor,
a pattlotlc citizen nnd a statesman
and contending that ho was tho man
above all others who was fitted to
grace the ofllie i.f governor of tho
Uieat commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Speaking cf Congressman Council's
candidacy for le-elccllon he said that
leaving asldo the national need of re
turning Republican congressmen the
people of this region should from sel
fish motives continue in ofTice tha
leader of the movement and spokesman
of the committee organized for the pur
pose of extending the market for an
thracite coal
One of Mr. nvans' ninny trite sayings
was in Introducing tho subject of the
howling against the lest leglrlaturc,
when he said. "There are a good many
people who only seo the sun when there
is an eclipse and they only seo tho
black Bpot." Ho closed with an elo
quent tribute to President McKlnley
and his conduct of tho war and charg
ed tho people to vote as their boys shot
for the glory of the stars and Etrlpes.
Mr. Zimmerman, tho next speaker,
began with tho admonition to his hear
ers to voo conscientiously. Pennsyl
vania could survive a Republican do
feat, but it could not live with its peo
plo dlslnfranchlscd by fear, favor or
any other Influence.
Ho called attention to the Democrats
at Altoona, and said that they repud
iated their party by remaining illent
on ts platform. Now they attempt to
excuse the action by saying thero are
no national Issues now. And this, in
a commonwealth containing one
twelfth of the population of the Union.
They aro not honest in this statement.
They aro ashamed of their national
Issues.
But taking It thnt there are no na
tional Issues In this controversy, wo
are leady to meet the Democratta
party on stnte Issues. Tako tho main
Issue thnt they would make. They say
tho Republican party has looted the
slate treasury. AVlmt did tho Demo
cratic party do when it was in power7
They left tho commonwealth in debt
to tho extent of $40,000,000 without any
permanent improvements to show for
It.
Again, when the effort was made to
permit soldiers of the civil war to vote
In the field the Democratic supreme
court declnicd It unconstitutional, and
when nn nmendment was proposed to
make It constitutional, every Dcmo
ciatlc countv In the state gave a ma
jority against It.
The same Democratic supreme court
gi anted an Injunction against the draft
and Pennsylvania could not fill Its
quota until tho election changed the
complexion of the bench.
Another thing that the state Democ
racy are not boasting of Is tho action
of this same Democratic supreme couit
in ruling that I'nltcd States notes were
not legal tender.
OPPOSKD LEGISLATION.
The opposition of the same legisla
tors to Mr. Farr's compulsory educa
tion bill: Governor Paulson's double
veto or his fico text book bill weie
mentioned ns other things that Mr.
Jenks and his snell-blndeis nre not
boasting of. To Mr. Jenks' efforts, at
the armory meeting, to belittle the ac
tion of the Republican party In taking
tho state 1 tax from real estate, Mr.
Zimmerman said that If there Is one
thing tho Republicans of this state can
boast of It is the system of taxation
Inaugurated under their administra
tion. AVhen the Republicans regained con
trol of tho state they found all real
estate taxed for state pui poses at the
ate of three mills on the dollar of
valuation. Tho fnimers nnd other
propoity holders were paying $23,000,000
a year In state taxes on real estate,
besides what they paid on personal
property. In lSCii the state tax on
realty was wiped out and In 1874 the
state pcisonal tax was virtually done
away with and now under this bene
flclent syhtem of taxation, which Mr.
Jenks makes so light of, every county
In the state receives back from two
to eight times ns much ns It contri
butes, In Lackawanna tho proportion
being $34,000 paid In and $276,000 re
turned. Dealing with Mr. Jenks Individually.
Mr. Zimmerman stated that this man
who now seeks to be the governor of
Pennsylvania was the only prominent
Democrat in the stnte to come out op
enly nnd forcefully for free silver.
Jenks not only voted for McClellnn,
as Mr. Evans, hnd stated, but was
a member of tho convention that nom
inated him and resolved that the war
was a failure and stumped the north
ern states In the Interest of the can
didate nnd the platfrom, which had as
a plank "the war was a failure."
THE ONLY INSTANCE.
Ho was also one of the lawyeis who
represented the petition for the in
junction against the draft and inci
dentally Mr. Zimmerman remarked
that this was about the only instance
In Mr. Jenks legal career when ho np
peared befoie tho supreme court for
any client other than a corpoiatlon.
How many people hero know who
was last elected governor of Oregon?
Mr. Zimmerman asked. Or horn many
know the name of that state's single
representative In congress who wns
elected two weeks ago? Yet how the
news In each Instance was flashed
across tho continent that Oregon had
stood by sound money! A'et the elec
tion In Pennsylvania with Its popula
tion of one-twelfth of tho whole un
ion nnd Its thirty congressional dis
tricts, lias no bearing on congressional
affairs'
Mr. Zimmerman closed with a re
vlewal of the work accomplished by
Hon. J. R. Farr and Hon. J. C. Vaugh
an at Harrisburg and then made a
plea for spport for the whole tocket.
It was growing on to 10.30 o'clock
when Mr. Zimmerman, who wns the
fouith speaker, concluded so Mr. Farr
and Mr. Thomas contented themselves
with very brief remarks.

Attorney F. AV. Fleltz leturned yester
day from a trip through Perry, Snyder
and Union counties, where he dflUered n

terday. "They realize that tho fight Is

RESPONSIBILITY IS
NOT YET DETERMINED
HEIER AND CLARK FLATLY
CONTRADICT EACH OTHER.
Former Alleges That Clark Told Him
It Would Bo All Right to Tap tho
Flpo That Is Said to Havo Caused
All tho Trouble This Statement
Is Emphatically Denied Thero Is
Also a Spirited Dispute About a
Letter Board of Health to Have
Another Meeting.
Two questions remain to bo settled In
tho No. 28 school Investigation: AVhom
does tbo responsibility for tapping the
sewer pipe rest upon? nnd, AVa the
gas that escaped from the hole In tho
pipe the cause of the epidemic?
Charles Holer, a foreman In the em
ploy of Conrad Schrocdor, admitted at
Thursday night's investigation that he
tapped the pipe, and he charged George
AV. Clark, heating and ventilating en
gineer for Hunt & Connell, with sug
gesting to him that such would be as
good a way ns any to get rid of the
water In the air duct. Be it remem
bered that Mr. Heler Is a brlcklaver.
and supposing that Mr. Clark could
not bo mistaken he acted upon the sug
gestion. Mr. Claik was the first witness called
last night, and not only did he em
phatically deny llelei's assertion, but
nlso said thnt he became furious when
ho heard tho sewer pipe was tnpped.
He went to Mr. Hunt nnd urged that
a letter bo written protesting against
this way of getting rid of tho water
in the duct.
The specifications of tho heating and
ventilating contiact called for n tem
po! nturc of 70 degrees in every room
in tho building no mnttcr what the
weather was. There were two upstairs
looms In which tho temperature could
not bo raised above CI degiees at the
ordinary speed of the fan, because the
water In the duct 1 educed tho space
nnd volume of nlr thnt much less.
AA'llllam Clcary, foreman In the
Plumbing department of Hunt & Con
nell, was examined but bis testimony
served in no way to elucidate the ques
tion ns to who Is the one responsible.
MB. HUNT'S TESTIMONY.
A. 12. Hunt asked thiough Attorney
John F. Scrngg to be poimltted to tes
tify. At Thursday night's session Mr.
Hunt stated that last fall ho wrote a
letter to Mr. Hchroeder about tho water
In the duct. His attention was called
to it by his steam-iltting engineer, he
thought. Mr. Hunt hud learned that
a suggestion to tap the sower pipe und
let the water out wns made, and his
nnswer was contained In that letter.
Mr. Scragg asked him If he had a copy
of the letter and he pulled from his
pocket and read the following:
Scranton, Pa., Dec. SI, 1SS7.
Mr Conrnd Schrocdcr.
Dear Sli . AVn notice tint at No. 13 and
No. 2S school buildings in attempting to
keep the water out ol tho hot nlr ducU,
Mju nie making a direct communication
from duct to sower. This, of course, will
tako enro of tho water, but Is It not a
dangerous tiling to do? It certainly Is
d.inguioiis and against the city oidinn'nce.
This woik nt ducts should be ho dono
that the water docs not get Into tho duct.
This Is what the original plan and sped
llcatlons contemplated. Indeed, they nro
very specific in repaid to this.
If. however, the plan you aie adopting
Is approved by Architect Duckworth, the
boaid of cotitiol, nnd building Inspector,
wo, of collide, will have to be quiet in
rcgaid to the mutter, although It will to
a dlsappolntncnt to us if tho ducts nie
not made absolutely water light. If what
you aro doing at the ducts at present Is
considered only temporary ou should, nt
least, havo n trap of 3-lnch pipe not less
than 11 Inches deep, to overcome the air
prehsuie In the ducts throwing the water
from tiap to sewer. Yours very truly,
A. E. Hunt, General Man.igor.
AVROTE THE LETTER.
Miss Myra R. Decker, stenographer
and typewriter in the offlco of Hunt
nnd Connell. was sworn and corrobor
ated Mr. Hunt The letter wns dic
tated to her and she forthwith copied
It nnd piesentcd It to him for his sig
nature. She could not swear positively
to remembering the letter hut knows
there was such a one, lis she found
It nmong the flies.
Mr. Schroeder, as on the preceding
night, swore that no such letter wns
received by him. Ho and his book
keeper hunted for three hours through
tho files and failed to find a record of
It. Every business letter he receives
Is filed away for reference. Moreover,
he has no recollection of ever receiv
ing the letter, and he swore positive
ly that he would remember It now If
It was received.
Fred Heler, a brother of the man
who tnpped tho pipe, sworo that ho
saw his brother and Mr. Claike come
out of the duct oneday. AVhen Mr.
Clarke went away the witness was told
by his brother the water would have
to be got lid of by n trench to the
sewer and that Mr. Claik thought It
would be all light.
Janitor Roberts was called by Mr.
Scraggg to offset Mr. Ileler's testimony.
The Janitor was asked It Mr. Heler,
the fotemnn. had not gone to him
after .Air. Clark had left and asked
about the location of the sewer pipe.
Foreman Heler sworo Thuisday night
that Claik not only suggested this
aH a good wuy to get rid of the water,
but took tho pains to locate the sewer
pipe for him. Tho Janitor tould not
swear positively.
Mr. Duckwoith, Superintendent of
Repairs Harvey, and George Bull, an
the other witnesses.
EXPERT TESTIMONY.
Architect Paul B. Belln wns called
by Mr. AVelles to give expert testimony
on sewer gas, based principally on Mr,
Bella's visit to Paris; one of the scenes
of interest in that center of fashion
being boat rides In tho seweis. Tho
main pipes are so largo that boats
ply on tho murky waters of the sewers
and yet the people who dally make
this trip do not seem any the woise
for their subterranean confinement for
several hours. This wns for the pur
pose of showing that sewer gas Is not
so vllo after all.
Mr. Jayne objected to tho Introduc
tion of expert testimony on this sub
Ject until tho "residents of the Thir
teenth ward aro given tlmo to procure
experts also. The hearing adjourned
and the members of the board retired
Into their private room to talk the
matter over.
Thero will be another meeting some
night next week.

DOESN'T ADMIRE SHAFTER
Burr Mcintosh Says the General De
parted from the Truth in His
Official Report Saw Fight
ing nt San Juan Hill.
Buir Mcintosh, who Is now filling
nn engagement nt the Lyceum, Is one
of tho men who can tell interesting
stories nbout the fighting befoie San
tiago. Ho was there In the capacity
of a newspaper repot tcr nnd had the
pilvllego of getting a snap shot with
his camera of the llrst shot fired
ngalnst the block houses on San Juan
hill.
He wns with a group of olllccrs close
to tho point where the Grimes battery
was stationed at El Poso hill when
Genernl Shutter's adjutnnt observing
that Geneial Law ton, who wan some
distance away, scorned to have, some
heavy lighting on his hands gave the
older to bring tho guns Into action.
This order wns at onco transmitted
to Captain Grimes and by hlir to the
man nt No. 1 gun. Mcintosh trained
his enmera on the gun and succeeded
In getting a very satisfactoiy photo
graph. Fioni his position on El Poso hill,
two miles fiom San Juan, Mcintosh
raw the lighting as it progressed. He
wns with Generals Sumner nnd Kent
nnd by tnylng with them. If the plan
of battle ngreed upon had been cat
rled out, he would bo In tho thick
of the fray most of the time.
It was found Impossible to carry out
the pre.iri.mged plans nnd the desper
ate essault on San Juan hill became a
necessity fot the troops who were to
foim a Juncture with tho men of Sum
ner and Kent. He was therefore com
pelled to content himself with the view
of tho light be obtained through a
field glass much to his regret. It was
nn Impressive sight ho declaies and
on he will never forget.
AVhlle near Grimes' battery when It
was In notion n shell from a Spanish
gun came sci earning towards the point
where he stood with nn ominous, hiss
ing sound. Fottunatelv It passed over
his bend and exploded a short dis
tance In the rear injuring two Cubans.
Had It exploded while passing over
where ho stood. Mcintosh, Colonel As
tor, Richard Harding Davis and a
number of othois who were standing
close together watching the conflict
would undoubtedly hao been killed.
Mr. Mcintosh declares with much
emphasis that General Shatter was not
able to cope with the necessities of
the hour before Santiago nnd that In
addition to his manifest Incompetency
he was a bore of the most obnoxious
type.
Ho says that General Shnfter got
away from the truth In his of
ficial report when he said he per
sonally lode to tho camps of Gen
erals Sumner and Kent and saw that
the men of these commands weiv
properly Intrenched in compliance with
his orders.
On tho day In qurrtlon General Shat

tho foot ot the hjll, lodo a little morn
than half way up himself and then
for some reason turned his hmse. rode
back nnd Joineel his stuff nnd they gal

on at tho time on tho other rido of

that Gcnernl Shatter was not truthful
