Phil Rinslnnd Gives His Views on the Fight. I'hil Itlnsland returned yesterday rnornluc from New York, where he went to see Tuesday night's meeting between Corhctt and Sharkey. rnlike the majority of those who Wfnt to a laruo expenditure of time, labor nnd money to see the mill, Mr. Itlnsland Is quite well satisfied vlth what be saw. There was, he said, half an hour of ns hard and clever lighting as man can expect to see, and It was enough to settle In the minds of every observing man the relative merits of the cham pionship claimants. It was no fake, Mr. Itlnsland em phatically aveis. The manner in which the men went nt each other was posi tive proof of this, be says. Corbett, however, he thinks, hnd it fixed to bring on an Intenuptlon, If be should be gettitjg the worst of It. and Mr Vey's action In deliberately commit ting a foul by rushing Into the ring was. In M-. Itlnsland V opinion, the means to that end. The fight could not have lasted more than five 01 six rounds longer, he be lieed, and Sharkey would without doubt have been the winner. Corbett was not In us good shape a" he was at Carson City, Mr. Itlnsland sayn and he, It will be remembered, occupied a front seat at the Corbet t Fltzslmmons go. Ho was as shifty as ever, but he was not as strong as when be met Fltzslmmons and did not seem to bo as clever. Sharkey Is a quicker man, than Mr. Itlnsland thought hlin to be.' Fitzsim mons. however, in Mr. Hlnsland's opin ion, could whip the sailor without u question. ILLUMINATED SIGNS. Placed by tho Scranton Railway Company 011 the Trolley Cars. An Innovation was Introduced yes terday by the Scranton Hallway com pany by placing Illuminated nlgns on the cars, a move long under consider ation by the management of the com pany, and one ardently wished ftn- by the public. Passengers on the C.20 o'clock I'eleis-burg-Lafayette cur, leaving the Lacka vanna avenue Junction, hnd the ills tluctlon of being conveyed on the first electric car run In Scranton with these Illuminated signs. The algny on the Petersburg-Lafayette car uro of led and black backgrounds, with letters In white. One of the colors of the back ground will bo chosen as the must de sirable and used altogether. Master Mechanic T. J. Mullen. In speaking to a Tribune man, mated that In his opinion the black will be tho most Preferable, from the fact that In day time sign, of that hued background rnn bo read more easily than the red, whllo nt nlglii both are of the same advantage. Tho signs will be placed on the monitor decks of the cur ut the rear, front and sides, mid when every car In service receive ltn quoin of the transparencies there will bo two hun dred nnd fifty-two of thorn In use. A cnsuul observation would lend ono to believe the signs nre one polld piece of Rlnss, but ench letter lslv section of tho hIrii In Itself. This nrraiiRCinent Is the original Idea of Muster Mechanic Mullen, nnd tho benellt of the scheme If, In the event of 11 portion of the sign breaking, the letter or letters smushed can be leplaced from the duplicate stock nt the company supply room. Today the cars on the Washburn Drinker streets line will be fitted, and the work of placing the sIriis on every car In service will be done ns quickly as possible. REYNOLDS WILL NOT CONTEST.

Mrs. I Golden, of North Scranton, arrived just a few hours too late to prevent her son, Frank A. Oolden, from enlisting. It seems that the young man never told his mother of his intentions, and when he did not return from school, her Intuition di vined that Frank might have gone with the soldiers. Mrs. Golden says he is only 17 years of age, and that she will have him back even If she hats to go to the camp and take him out. She certainly Is a determined look ing woman, and she asked several questions as to what could be done. She can write to the adjutant general In Washington, D. C. Her boy may get from one to two years imprison ment for falsifying, If he did, Ills age. She can wait a year, pay "Uncle Sam" $120 and her boy will be released. For every month he stays In after a. year it will be $5 less. The government does not want the money, but It gives such cases a chance. Lieutenant Slvlter regrets leaving here but ciders are to be obeyed. He believes that many more hundred men could be gotten here and hopes to be sent back here next spilng if still in the recruiting business. He was great ly pleased with the men recruited and the amount ot work done. Ho henit ily appreciated the courtesies of Tho Tribune.

BACK FHOM NEW MEXICO Impressions of Hon. L. A. Watres with Reference to Thnt Re gionBelieves Thnt It Has n Great Future. John Welles Holl-mb i-lt, of Wilkcs Paue. and L. A. Wanes, of this city, with their party of friends who virlt ed Xevv Mexico to Inspect the propel ty t.f the Tevv Mi'Xlcj IPUlwuv and Coal company, nnd Its ullled interests here, returned home. This property Is owned and controlled by I'ennsylvnnlans. and many of our local capitalist nre In terested In It. "Although I heard many ilatterlng statements about the country and its possibilities, I am bound to say that what 1 saw was far ahead of my ot pccftlons,'' said Mr. Watres yester day In response.1 to a rciitiest by a Tribune man for his views concern ing the country he visited. "Although the I'd rno and North eastern lallroncl was originally Intend ed to open the Salada coal fields, locat ed 1(50 miles northeast "f Kl Paso," continued Mr. Watres, "It was found that upon reaching Alaniagordo. which Is midway between the coal fields and 131 Paso, there was a large and exten sive tract of cNoellnnt timber upon the Sin-rnmentu mountains, which could b.s reached by a mountain road about twenty miles from Alnmagordo. The trad, has been completed from 101 Paso to Alamagordo, and the mountain road was lust completed when the vlsltlnt; partv arrived there last week. "This mountain road winds through picturesque canons to the summit of tho Sacramento mountains, nnd opens an Immense tract of timber growth of white and yellow pine, spruce and oth er wood-. Tho timber upon this prop erty Is much thicker and larger than ve epected to find. Another surprise was the character of the soil In tho canons, which Is susceptible of culti vation, botli as farm nnd fruit land. "At the end of the road where the timber was being cut. things were in a most active and buslness-llko con dition. Kven the tlred-lookinrr Mexi cans seem to have caught the aplrlt and energy which have characterized the brave Pennsylvanlans nnd East erners who were bold enough, nnd far seeing enough to penetrate tho vast desert, to find nnd develop with their brains end money tho valuable coal, timber, mlneial nnd farm lands In the Sacramento mountain". "Tills valuable timber land is within too miles of Kl Paso, which is a great railroad centre for tho southwest there being seven railroads entiriiify that city. There can be no question us to the demand for the lumber: nnd It Id woitny of notice that this product is nearer by TOO miles to the market than any other timber. "The Scranton capitalists Interested In that section have erected one of the best saw mills nt Alamagordo, that can be found anywhere. Although tho town of Alamagordo is but a few months old, the rapidity with which It has grown 13 surprising, it already has a number of dwellings, two res taurants, several stores, two driip; stores, four doctors, ti sehoolhouso (used also an a church), and a num ber of buildings are In process of erec Hon, to be used as dwellings and places of business. ' Ono of the most valuable features of the place Is that It has an excellent supply of good, pure water from tho Alamo Canon. "The track and loadbed of the main line, and of the Mountain roud nre first-class In every lespect. The com pany has secured excellent terminal facilities In the City of Kl Paso, and in connection with the Texas and Pa cific railroad owns a most valuable belt line terminal, which equipa It for doing the largo business which the fu ture seems to warrant. Taking It nil together, the enterprise seems to have passed beyond the experimental stage, and those who undertook it ato to be congratulated upon the energy dis. played, us well as upon the bright pros pect for Its future." It Is understood that at a very early day the main lino will be completed from Alamagordo to the .Salada coal fields, us there is a tuevslng demand for this coal In tho southwest. lu the Council building a num ber ofllces uro specially adapted to btwyors' use.

A complication of charges and coun ter charges In which a "Dr." Sarrlo and Michael Money and his wife. Lucy, were embroiled caused the presence of a large crowd of excited West Side people in Alderman Millar's court yes terday afternoon. The cases grew out of Money's charge that Sarrlo had been unduly attentive to Mrs. Money. The Moneys reside at 41!i Seventh street. Sarrlo bad been a recent board er there, lie is a very well dressed and scrupulously groomed person. Mrs. Money Is a comely looking woman about thirty-five years old. The sub stance of all their testimony was that trouble between the Moneys began on the advent of the doctor Into the household. It resulted In the election of Money from the house, which Is owned by his wife. During the testimony Alderman Mil lar had extreme difficulty lu sifting facts because of the attempts ot the principals and others to testify at once in Italian and pigeon-English. With the aid of two Interpreters tho alder man was finally ennbled to reach a conclusion, or conclusions. He held Mrs. Money in r.00 ball for desertion; Money In $300 ball to keep the peace, and Sarrlo In $,100 ball to explain in court bis relations with Mrs. Money, In ?300 ball to keep the peace and In $100 ball to await trial for practicing medicine without license. Sarin could not gel ball yesterday. He wai remanded to the Center street po lice station and will bo went to jail today it he falls to get a bondsman.

Ten days or more will bo required to lay the tiles at tho foot of the stairway leading to the second lloor, about the Mulberry stieet entrance, In tin- rear ball and In tho lavatory.
