represented In tho B. It. It- T. were
hesun yesterday In the parlors of the
St. Charles. They are secret, of
course, anil na yet nothing has tranfl
plrcd, so Chairman George M. Wallace
Mated, thnt would be of public Inter
est. The matter of federation and tho
presentation of grievances are among
tho matters discussed, but as yet no
definite nctlon hns been taken.
Tho sessions will continue today nnd
probably tomorrow. Chairman Wal
lace Hiild last night that there will
likely be something to give to the pub
lic tonight.
IF ARCHDALD IS ELECTED.
Board of Six Will Likely Get tho
Decision.
Members of the board of six school
dliectoi'ft are much elated over tlm In
formation that Judge Mestreznt Is on
record as being of the opinion that tho
net of 1874, under which tho board of
twenty-one serves, Is unconstitutional.
Tho supremo court, which has only
six members at present, Is deadlocked,
so it Is reliably stated, on the ques
tion of which of tins two boards is
tho K'Rul one. Plttston and Scranton
It will be icmembered, both have
cases tied up thereby.
Chief Justice Storrett, who retires
ut the end of this year, Is ono of the
three members of the court In favor
of the board of six. This would leave
the board of twenty-one with u start
of ono when the reorganization of the
court was to be effected. Judge Mest
rezat would ovvrcwme that and It
would still remain a tie. Judge Arch
bald has decided, locally, In favor of
the board of six and, should he be the
seventh Justice, and this Is more than
likely, the board of six would have tho
mujorlty.
THE BOARD OF CONTROL.
No Report on the Bids for No. 0 and
No. 38 Buildings Three Thous
and Dollars for Kindergartens.
The board nf control held an ad
journed meeting lust night, but the

An opinion from David J. Reedy, sol
icitor of the board was read to tho
effect that the board cannot Increase

THREE THOUSAND
MENARENOW OUT
TIE-UP IN BUILDING TRADES
CIRCLES IS COMPLETE.
Carpenters Hopo for a Speedy Ter
mination of the Difficulty They
Bollovo That Sufficient Pressure
Will Bo Brought to Bear Upon
Members of the Builders Ex
change to Cause .ehem to Put nn
Eud to the Strike Somo Incidents
of tho Day.
The tlc-up, about which so much has
been said and written, became an ac
tual fact yesterday morning and tho
building trade in the city Is at an ab
solute standstill so far as union lulxir
Is concerned. Three thousand men aru
uffcoted. Every man connected with
the Trades' Council refused: to go to
work yesterday morning, with tho ex
ception of about half of the woodwork
ers. These latter are expected to go out
this morning and If they do not they
will have to sever their connection with
the Building Trades' Council. Tho car
penters particularly nre very much hurt
at the action of the woodworkers, as
they helped them out In a difficulty a
short time ago nnd expected them to
return the compliment.
Tho carpenters say that oven If these
woodworkers refuse to go out It will
not materially affect the general situa
tion. The fact must bo borne In mind that
out of the 3,000 men who are out, over
2.000 are out on sympathy and aro
therefore drawing no benefits from
their funds. They arc, nevertheless,
very determined and state that they
will stay out In sympathy for a year, if
necessary.
The sheet anchor on which the strik
ers rely Is the Influence which will be
brought to bear upon members, of th
Hulldors' Exchange by persons who are
embarrassed by the tie-up. In the
cou.rso of a conversation yesterday,
George Osmnn. of the press commit
tee, made the remark thait, "should a
water pipe break in one of the mag
nificently furnished residences of tho
city, not a plumber could be obtained
to repair It, even though It was caus
ing thousands of dollars of damage.
The influence of that property-owner
upon the members of the exchange
would, of course, be considerable.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE.
Another case In point may better Illus
trate the embarrassed condition the tie
up leaves some persons in nnd thp sub
sequent effect It may have upon the
exchnnge.
The ovens of M. J. Kelly's cracker
bakery aro In such a condition that
they must be repaired at once. Mr.
Kelly sent to the strikers' headquar
ters yesterday for bricklayers to do the
work.
Business Agent John A. Price told
Mr. Kelly's representative that It would
be Impossible to send the men. If con
cessions were made to one, they must
be made to all.
"The tie-up to be successful." said
Mr. Price, "must be absolutely com
plete and In all struggles the Innocent
must suffer to some extent with the
guilty."
Mr. Kelly, who will be at a serious
loss every day that his bakery Is not
working, was advised to treat with 'the
Builders' Exchange and urge them to
come to some sort of a settlement.
Tho rumored inrush of non-union
workmen Is not feared by the strikers,
as they say they can procure work for
these men, If they put In an appear
ance at higher wages than they would
be paid In Scranton. The strikers look
for a speedy termination of the exist
ing trouble.
Secretary Laudlg. of the Builders'
Exchange, said to a Tribune man yes
terday afternoon that that body had
absolutely nothing to say.
The Building Trades' Council will
hold a meeting on Wednesday evening
In Carpenters' hall.
Bricklayers' union. No. IS, held a
meeting In Howley's hall, Penn ave
nue, last evening for the purpose of
talking the situation over. While some
of the members weie opposed to stay
ing out, It was almost unanimously
decided to keep out for the present at
any rate and to await developments.
MINER INSTANTLY KILLED.
David R. Davis Crushed by Fall of
Roof in Leggett's Creek Mine.
David II. Davis, of West Market
stieet. was killed in the Leggett's
Creek mine yesterday morning. Mr.

It. lie Is survived by a wife und five
children. John. Thomas, Maine, Annie
and Hazel Davis. Funeral announce
ment later.
JOSEPH WARD, OF SCRANTON.
Made Threats Against Postmaster
Hauser, of Water Gap.
For threatening to kill Millard Hau
ser nt the Delaware Water Gap, a man
who gave several names, but Is believed
to be Joseph Ward, of Scranton, was
lodged In the county jail In default of
$500 ball. Ward said he would get re
venge for the shooting of his comrade,
John Gleason.
For several dnys past a tough-look-Ing
individual has been working about
the Island nt ithe Gnp for' Mr. Kelvy,
who has rented the place for the sum
mer from the new owner, Mr. Butler.
Tho tough-looking man gave several
names, to ono he said he was Joseph
Kerrigan, of Plttston; to another ho
was Joseph Ward, of Wllkes-Harre, and
to a third ho was Joseph Moore, of
Scranton.
He was Identified as ono of a gang
of shell men that worked the Susque
hanna excursionists last summer. From
Information received It Is believed the
man's real name Is Ward, and that he
Ib a Scrantonlan.
Wurd said Gleason, who was shot by
the postmaster, and died In the 'Lacka
wanna hospital In this city, waH his pal
and for killing him Hutiser Is a marked
man.
"There's a gang of COO of us fellows
and we've got you spotted, see?" said
Ward. "Before the first of October
they'll be decorating your grave."
To emphasize the threat, Ward pulled
a 44-callbre revolver from his pocket
nnd flourished It In front of tho post
master. Then hu was urrested.

Two selections executed by Miss
Loulso Raught entitled "Light and

pany's saw mill In August, 1S31. Ho

Insured ns such, but because he met
hla death while assisting some of the
laborers at a saw the company re
fused to pay the policy.
The case was llrst tried In the United
Stntes court at the Scranton session
In .March, 1897. A verdict for the plain
tiff In the full amount of the claim was
given subject to a reserved law point.
Tho court after deliberating some time
made a ruling to tho effect that the
defendant should be granted a new
trial unless the plaintiff was willing
to remit the verdict with the exception
of $300.
The plaintiff declined these terms
and the case was again tried here In
March, 1S9S, and once more the verdict
was for the plaintiff In the full amount
of the claim with Interest, J4.7SS.C0.
Application was made for a new trial

being refused the case was appealed

Muster Car Builder Canfleld, of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, on resuming his
duties yesterday morning after n
week's absence from the city, an
nounced to his subordinates tho ap
pointments of W. L. Robinson ns gen
eral car Inspector for the entire divi
sion and B. E. Miller ns master car
and locomotive painter, both to have
offices In this city.
The duties of Mr. Robinson's office
aro to supervise tho Inspection of all
classes of cars and to maintain tho
highest standard In construction of the
cars. Mr. Robinson, vice Robert Mc
Kenna, Jr., who was transferred to
Dover, N. J., hns been filling his posi
tion, ills ofllco is not a new one.
The position of Master Car and Lo
comotive Painter Miller was created
by Mr. Canfleld. He Is to have com
plete control of this department. The
appointments went Into effect yester
day. A Wonderful Engine.
What Is claimed as the most modern
in every detail in the way of a pas
senger engine was turned out recently
at the Ashley car shops of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. A trial trip
was made of the engine which result
ed very satisfactorily. The following
details will give a fair estimate of the
engine:
It weighs 147,000 pounds, and with
tank 237,000. the tank having a capa
city of 4,000 gallons, the water being
scooped up by a pneumatic arrange
ment. It has three pairs of 69-inch
drivers, all steel, with double truck.
The holler carries 200 pounds of steam
and the engine is capable of making
seventy-five miles an hour.
A pneumatic bell-ringer and sanding
apparatus are new features. The New
York brake Is used. The engine is con
structed along the latest mechanical
lines, efficiency being the prime object,
while beauty of form and skillful work
manship have not been neglected. It
has attracted much attention from
railroaders and others on account of
the new Ideas Involved and her excel
lent behavior on her trial trip. As she
Is Intended to run on the Royal Blue
line, between Philadelphia and New
York, It Is evident thnt the officials
recognize the merits of the new en
gine, and also the fact that Master
Mechanic J. O. Thomas Is Introducing
innovations In engine construction
which are decided Improvements.

"My trip was most exciting, interest
ing and instructive." The exciting part
of the trip occurred Tuesday night off
Long Branch, when tho steamship
Hamilton crashed Into and sunk the
Ward line steamer Macedonia. Mr.
and Mrs. Canfleld were aboard the
Hamilton and the cry was raised that
their boat was sinking.
The convention, .Mr. Canfleld
said, was an Important one.
The major part of the ses

and discussion of the reports of the
committees appointed a year ago. The
committees which will prepare papers
for the next convention will be selected
next month.
THIS AND THAT.
There was no change yesterday in
