Secretary P. J. McGuire Makes n
Prediction with Reference to
tho Strike That la Now
In Progress.
Secretary r. J. McGuIre met the
grievance committee of the Building
Trades' council at tho strikers' head
quarters on Lackawanna avenue yes
terday morning. The strike situation
was thoroughly gone over and dls
cusBed. In the evening Mr. McGulre
attended a meeting of Carpenters'
union No. BC3, which was held In Car
penters' hall. At the conclusion of the
regular order of business he delivered
an address to the men.
At the conclusion of the meeting Mr.
McGulre was seen by a Tribune man
and spoke at some length upon tho
general condition or affairs. Asked In
regard to the situation, ho said:
"The general situation I consider to
be very good and I think tho outlook
for a speedy termination of existing
difllcultles to be also very good. I
have seen several of the members of
the Builders' exchange today and they
seem to be strongly In favor of concili
ation. I think that next week will see
an end to the present strike."
He was asked regarding the state
ments made by members of the Build
ers' exchange to the effect that the ar
bitration proposed would not be con
sidered by them, because the difficulty
had been arbitrated before the strike
began. Ho stated In reply:
"The arbitration plan Is njrver con
sidered by tho national organization
except as a last resort. "We always
prefer conciliation before arbitration.
Evidently some of the members of tho
exchange are not well up In tho defini
tion of arbitration.
"Arbitration In all cases means the
referring of a discussed question to
n third disinterested party. Conciliation
means the settlement of existing diffi
culties between tho two contending
parties. This Is always the best
method, for they are both more liable
to know each other's desires and are
therefore better able to deal with the
question than a third party.
The statement, therefore, that arbi
tration was held before the strike Is
absurd, as no third party was called In.
Asked regarding the statement made
that he would be present at the meet
ing of the Exchange on Tuesday night,
he said: "I 3hall leave tho city some
time tomorrow, but A. C. Cattermull,
of Chicago, the president of the ex
ecutive board of carpenters, is in tho
city and he will tako my rdace here.
Mr. Cattermull will bo present at the
meeting If he is Invited to be there, but
not otherwise. He will be ready at any
time to meet any member of the Ex
change who may desire to see him."
It Is understood that the Building
Trades council are sending circulars to
all the Building Trades councils In the
surrounding cities, asking them to re
fuse to handle any stone cut by Frank
Carluccl.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
This week brought to the surfaco two
exciting pieces of political news.
One is the story that ex. Sheriff Charles
Robinson Is going to resume his place
as tho local Democratic leader and dedi
cate his energies and his dollars to the
task of reorganizing the party In this
county.
Tho other was the announcement of
Lord Byron Green that ho will be a can
didate for the Republican nomination for
county commissioner.
Mr. Green made a somewhat lengthy
statement of his caso for tho benefit of
tho Republican voters of the county and
told them Just what they might expect
from him In tho event of his nomination
and election.
Mr. Robinson did not indulge In any
such cnndld statement ns was penned
by Mr. Green, In fact ho declines to
confirm the report that he Is again going
to put on the political harness, but many
who arc closo to him say ho will soon
bo seen In tho thick of tho fray again.
There has been no end of discussion
during tho week about tho probable
make-up of the county tickets this fall
and any number of guesses are being
made.
John Fickus. of Birch street, has de
elded to enter tho lists as a candidate for
tho Republican nomination for county
commissioner and will next week register
with Secretary Watklim of the county
committee. He is a well known resident
of South Scrnnton.
John Demuth, the present Democratic
member nf the board of commissioners,
hns not yet mndo up his mind with ref
erence to seeking a renomlnation from
his party.
"I may nnd mny not become n candi
date for renomlnation," he said yesterday
to a Trlhune man. "I havo not mado up
my mind.
Paul Aten, of Newton, who has for
years been a prominent flguro In Demo
cratic conventions. Is already making a
lively run for the Democratic nomlna.
Hon for commlst loner.
Ho has been mentioned for a nomlna
tlon at every county convention for years
past nnd believes It Is tlmo tho bosses
stopped Juggling with his namo and
threw him something In tho way of a
nomination.
"If I don't get a nomination this time,"
said Mr. Aten yisterday, "I'll never look
for one nsaln."
This is fair warning to tho leaders and
tho citizens of Lackawanna generally
that this Is positively their last chance
for Aten, If they loso him It's their own
fault.
Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons, chairman of
tho Democratic county committee, has
not decided when ho will call his com
mittee together to fix upon a date for
holding tho convention.
When Been by a Tribune man yester
day ho said ho had not given tho matter
any thought ns yet but does not think
tho convention will be hold before the
latter part of August.
Notl.lng has been done ns yet In the
way ill fixing a time for thu Republican
county prlmarlos, which for tho first time
will be conducted according to the Craw,
ford county rules.

ARRANGING TOR
THE CONVENTION
MEETINO OF CARRIERS' GEN
ERAL COMMITTEE.
Sub-Committees Delivered Their Re
portsExtra Efforts Must Do Mado
by Finance Committee to Securo
More Funds Discovered That
Arches Which Wero Proposed Will
Cost Moro Than Was Expected.
Arrangements Being Mado to Feed
Over 5,000 Men at Court House.
The general committee In charge
of the arrangements for the Letter
Carriers' convention held n well at
tended meeting Inst evenlg In Colonel
Ripple's office In tho Connell build
in. A. P. Bedford acted as chairman.
Tho principal business transacted was
tho receiving of the report of the var
ious sub-committees which were ap
pointed. Senator J. C. Vaughan, chairman of
the committee appointed to Invite
Governor Stone, reported that he had
been unable to go to Hnrrlsburg, but
that Hon. John R. Farr had done so.
Mr. Farr reported to him that the gov
ernor accepted the Invitation and would
bo hero Sept. 4 with his wife.
Mr. Jenkins, the chairman of the
committee appointed to see the county
commissioners relative to using the
court house grounds, next reported.
Ho stated that tho commissioners had
granted tho use of the eight walks
and tho two driveways upon the day
of the parade. These will bo covered
with mess tents, at the suggestion of
Colonel Ripple, and will be provided
with tables for the purpose of feeding
the men who are In line. It Is esti
mated that there will be over G.OuO
men In line, so that the task of feeding
this crowd will be a great one. Tho
entertainment committee claims to be
equal to it, however. No person with
out a letter carrier's uniform on will
be fed.
THE FINANCES.
Tho report of the finance committee
was then presented by Secretary Roba
than, In the absence of Chairman Mil
lar. It showed that while there was
a large amount of money subscribed,
It was necessary to raise a consider
able sum yet. The committee was
urged to make great efforts In the di
rection of increasing the fund, be
cause It Is deemed necessary to have
a complete report In four weeks' tlmo,
as the convention Is now only two
months off.
Chairman Phillips, of the commlttoa
on badges, said that the committeo
had no report to make, ns they wero
waiting for a sample badge which
would not arrive until next week.
The entertainment committee re
ported that everything for the enter
tainment of the visitors had been pro
vided for. In regard to showing them
through the mines, It was reported
that new arrangements would havo
to be made, as there had been changes
In the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western since the time previous agree
ments relating to this feature had been
made. It is thought, however, that
there will be no dlfllculty experienced
witn tne new officials In securing co
operation. Chairman Davis, of the committee on
decoration, next reported. He present
ed plans nnd sketches for a very elab
orate arch and arcade effect to be built
near the depot, and also for other
arches to bo built on various corners.
Tho committee thought the plans very
nice Indeed and were commenting
fvorably on them when some one In
the corner nsked the cost. Mr. Davis
casually remarked that the cost would
be about $1,500 apiece.
A CHEAPER ARCH.
Silence reigned supreme for a mo
ment and then some one remarked that
not more than twelve of these arches
could be built. Mr. Davis was request
ed to reduce the price, If possible, and
he told of a man who offered to build
certain kind of arches for $200 apiece.
Colonel Ripple stated that he thought
the matter of decoration should be well
done or not done at all.
Ho further expressed tho opinion that
ho thought If the people were well en
tertained and taken care of, they would
go home better satisfied than if a large
amount of money which could be used
for that purpose were expended on
arches. It was finally decided to de
fer the question until the next meet
ing, when tho finance committee will
know how they stand.
D. R. Atherton, of the committee on
transportation, next reported. He
stated that the committee hnd tried
to get the railroad companies to run
excursions to this city during the con
vention, the convention committeo to
receive a certain per cent. He said
that they had been unable to make a
deal with the companies for the reason
that the latter cannot procure enough
coaches, tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western requiring between fifty
and sixty coaches on the day of the
parade to transport the various dele
gations who are coming to the city. The
other companies, ho said, would be In
the same position, but it was thought
that an arrangement could be made
with the Delaware and Hudson for an
excursion from down the valley.
INTEREST IN NEW YORK.
Secretary Robathan then spoke at
some length nnd said that the people
of the city generally failed to estimate
the big time that is In store for them.
He told of being In New York city last
week and spoke of the Interest being
taken by the carriers In that city.
Every carrier who Intends coming to
the convention from there must sign
an agreement to pay his railroad fare.
If he does not come, ho forfeits this
amount. Mr. Robathan stated that 1,
400 men had already signed this agree
ment. Ho stated that Colonel Roosevelt
would positively be hero If It could bo
arranged so that he could bo In Ogdens
burg. N. Y the next day. The gover
nor has nn appointment there on Sep
tember D which he must keep. Mr.
Robathan said that he was now mak
ing Inquiries and he thought that this
matter could be satisfactorily ad
justed. The meeting adjourned after deciding
to meet again In tho same place on
July 21, when the sub-committees are
to make definite reports.
WHOLE DAY OF ADORATION.

Cathedral.
Perpetual adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament was conducted all of yester
day at tho Cathedral by tho League of

ANOTHER SILK MILL.
It Is to Be Erected at Pine Brook by
the Klotz Silk Company of Car-
bondale To Employ Four
Hundred Hands.
And still another silk mill Is head
ed Scrantonward and nnother Indus
try billed for Pine Brook.
The Klotz Silk company, which con
ducts a large mill In Carbondale and
a small one In the nnnex of the Mears'
building In this city, has organized a
Scranton company with the assistance
of John T. Richards and John A.
Mears and will establish a large mill,
likely, In the Pine Brook portion of the
city.
The plans for the building have been
made by Contractor L. C. Holden and
bids for Its construction will bo asked
for as soon as the site Is definitely de
cided upon. Two or three sites are
In view, but the one most favored
Is a plot on Monsey avenue, near Pop
lar street, facing the Lackawanna
brewery.
The mill will at the very outset em
ploy 400 hands.
W. H. Davis, who recently, bought
twenty lots on the Falrvlew Land
company tract, where Locust and
East Elm streets, Intersect tho
Bloomsburg division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road, Is also
planning for the erection of a largo
silk mill and expects to begin work as
soon as the strike is settlejl.
President Keller and Secretary Ath
erton of the board of trade, In dis
cussing the new silk mills yesterday,
were very enthusiastic over the pros
pect of Pine Brook becoming the In
dustrial as well as geographical cen
ter of the city. The recent additions
to Its Industries, the piano factory
und the bolt nnd nut works, and the
rumor of a new brewery to bo located
there, have started a boom for that
end of the town, the board of trade
men say, which gives promise of mak
ing It a veritable hive of Industry.
MERCHANT JOYCE WAS KISSED.
His Face Quickly Swelled to an Ab
normal Size.
W. P. Joyce, the West Lackawanna
avenue merchant, Is the latest local
victim of the kissing bug. While stand
ing In front of the Valley house Thurs
day night ho was stung on tho lip by
an insect and in a very brief space of
time his face began to swell.
He procured medical treatment at
once and yesterday the swelling began
to recede. Last evening his face was
beginning to assume Its normal ap
pearance. Ho says that when he felt the sting
on his Up he was affected nil through
his body as If shocked by electricity.
He struck the bug with his hand when
"shooing" it off, but could not find it,
though he made a diligent search.
He docs not think ho killed It or
that he hit It hard enough to even
malm It. There is, therefore, a possi
bility that it will be heard from again.

CARCASSES ARE REMOVED.
People of the Nelghborhod Much Re
lieved Thereat.
The bodies of the eleven horses
burned In Jones Brothers' barn by the
big Fourth of July fire were yester
day removed by Hewitt & Son, much
to the relief of the residents of that
neighborhood.
A dispute as to who should remove
the carcasses was responsible for the
delay. The city finally ordered It done,
with the understanding that the mat
ter of expense be dealt with later. It
was a stroke of economy for the city to
do the work at once, no matter who
should pay the expense, as an even
one hundred and forty-four quarts of
chloride of lime was used up to yes
terday to make the neighborhood ten
able. MADE SHORT WORK OF IT.

WEATHERMAN MOORE HERE
Selected Scranton as the Placo Above
All Others Possessing a Climate
Conducive to Health
Recuperation.
Scranton's model weather received a
most flattering testimonial yesterday
when Willis L. Moore, of Washington,
chief ot the United States weather
bureau, came hero to spend his summer
vacation.
Mr. Moore has not been feeling well
of late and recently decided to take a
season off for rest and recreation. A
consultation of tho weather reports
from all over tho country, which are
dally received by his department, led
him to chooso Scranton as tho place,
above all others In this vast country,
offering the closest approach to per
fection In the way of healthy and pleas
ant climate.
Tho above Is for tho usejf the board
of trade on Its next annual report.
The facts of tho case are these:
Mr. Mooro Is enjoying a brief rest
from his arduous labors and yester
day accompanied by his wife came on
her, from Washington to look after
some property and business Interests
which he has here and then to go on
to Ithaca, N. Y., to assist In locating
the new metorologlcal observatory
which Cornell university Is nbout to
erect. When this Is done Mr. and
Mrs. Moore will spend a week or so
at Glen Summit.
Mr. Moore is one of tho most promi
nent men whom Scranton has given
to tho world. Ho was born In this
city nearly fifty years ago during a
