If there Is any virtue In the old saw, wo can expect forty days of rain. The old rhyme goes thuo: St. Swlthlr.'u Day, uu thcro bo rain, For forty days It v.ill remain; St. Swlthln'n Day, an It bo fair For forty days 'twill rain nao nvilr. Vhllo Americans as a rulo do not profess to believe In tho Influence of this good old saint over tho midsum mer weather, thcro am many, oven in this enlightened ago, who havo a lln Eorinj: affection for tradition and legendary lore. In 'Maryland and In Virginia, whom the customs of bygona times and English ancestors are still cherished, St. Swlthln's day Is regard ed ns a pledge of sunshine or of rain for forty days to come. The tradition concerning rolii which Is associated with St. EJwIthin's day makes his name familiar, but compara tively few know tho story of his life, and fewer still nro aware that It was ho who established tithes, that form of church endowment which has lnsted In England till tho present day. St. Swlthln, who flourished In the ninth century, was a Saxon priest of noble family. The legend Is that this good and low ly minded man who died In 8C2 as Rlshop of Winchester, expressed a wish to bo buried, not within the sacred building, as was the right of bishops in those days, but In tho church yard, so that "the sweet ralu of heaven might fall upon his grave, and tho feet of the passerby might tread upon It." This humility, wo are told, called down a blowing on his resting place, nnd front far nnd near came pilgrims to benefit by Its healing virtues. For one hundred years his body rest ed undisturbed In the lonely spot ho had himself chosen. Hut In 071 the monks, thinking it n reproach to their house that so great a saint should be without tho sanctuary, resolved to re move his body with nil due solemnity. This was apparently displeasing to St. Swlthln, since for forty days fell rain of such unceasing violence that tho monks were obliged to abandon tho project. Rut they erected a chapel over his grave, which became noted for many wonders, until on the restoration of Winchester cathedral, which before the Reformation was called St. Sivlth ln's Priory, his bones werfc finally re moved without Interference from tho weather, nnd deposited in their place among tho other bishops. And still does tho traditionary in fluence of dear old St. Swlthln lead us to watch with anxletv the clouds or tho sunshine of July 13. WIGGINS KILLED THE PEST Kissing Bug Made an Assault on Him Last Night. Jury Commissioner Charles Wiggins had an exciting adventure with a "kissing bug" while coming from Archbald to Scranton last evening on an open car, in company with his wife. air. Wiggins wa sitting on the front seat when the Insect began to circle about his head. The motorman noticed his efforts to drive It away and re marked; "Guess it must be one 'er them .Hob son flies. Yer bitter look out!" At this Mr. Wiggins became more eager to secure tho bug but was un able to do so until the car was opposite tho Providence watering trough, when the vicious Insect suddenly made a lunge for Wiggins' right ear. Mr. AVlg glns made nnother clfort and succeeded In crushing tho troublesome Insect be tween ills thumb nnd lingers, and brought it to The Tribune ofllce last night. The Injuries Inflicted upon Mr. Wig gins by the bug were not of a serious nature. HAS MADE APPLICATION. Mrs. Reid Wants a Divorce from Her Husband, William Reid.

They Will Hereafter Treat with the Master Plumbors as Individuals. ' Frank Carluccl's Stonecutters Had a Conference with Him on Satur day and Later the Stonecutters Had a Meeting, at Which tho Mat ter Was Considered J. F. Ham inon Waa Assaulted. The plumbers, who have been out on sympathy with tho striking carpenters for tho oast four weeks, have now madu a demand upon their employers for an eight-hour day. This course was decided upon at a meeting of the Plumbers' union held Saturday evening In Industrial hull. It Was also decided that the union would hereafter treat with Individual bosses Instead of with tho Master Plumbers' association, the members of which are all associated with tho Builders' Ex change. The union met again yesterday af ternoon and prepared a set of trade rules which will bo submitted to the grievance committee of the Building Trades' council this morning for con firmation. This set of rules will cm body tho eight-hour clause nnd prob ably some other minor deviations from tho present code. A member of the union, In conver sation with a Tribune man last night, stated that the union had considered that the time was now ripe for the oleht-hour movement and had acted accordingly. He stated that the plumb ers had already obtained over six jobs since tho men were allowed to go back to work under fair conditions on Thursday last. He further said that there was a strong probability, It the master plumbers do not give in within a few davs, that the Journeymen will set up In business for themselves. TIMES ARE BRISK. When asked In regard to the possible Influx of plumbers from other cities, ho said that they could not bo ob tained, as work In that lino U brisk just now over the country. Ho said that tho Inability of the master plumb ers to carry out their threat of Im porting men proved this. The executive committee of the stone cutters union held nn extend ed conference with Contractor Frank Carlucci In Cassese's hall on Saturday morning. The conference was held for the purpose of endeavoring to securp Mr. Carlucci's consent to signing tho Trades' Councils' signature. Mr. Carlucci was strongly In favor of agreeing to every wish of tho com mittee except two. These two he took under advisement nnd will render a decision today. The first disputed point is the demand of tho union that only union men be employed as plan ers at the stoijf. yards and that they receive the union wage, $3 n day Since the tie-up was ordered the plaining machine at the yards were tho only thing In operation. They have been run by laborers. Prior to the strike the machines were sup posed to be operated by union men but the men say that laborers were constantly being pressed into service to do the work. The stone cutters now demnnd a satisfactory understanding on this matter. SECOND POINT. The second disputed point Is tho re fusal of the stone cutters to cut any stone upon or for nny building upon which non-union labor has been em ployed during the strike. This would affect the new bank building on Lackawanna avenue and several other large Jobs. The stone cutters union met In a body on Saturday afternoon and dis cussed the conference held with Mr. Carlucci. An exciting Incident of this meeting was an assault committed upon J. F. Hammls, a member of the executive committee and one of the leaders of the present strike, by John Evans, a foreman In Carluccl's yard and Geatauo Prospero, a stone cutter. Tho attack, Mr, Hammls says, was unprovoked and made without warn ing wiille he was speaking. The men were separated before any serious In Jury was done. mr. Hammls procured warrants for their arrest and they wcro arraigned before Alderman Len tes on Saturday night and hold for a hearing which will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock, Mr. Hammls sajs that tho assault was caused by personal animosity. Fifty contractors havo now signed the ngreemnt and nearly 200 workmen of all trades will bo . work this morning. The name of tho only mem ber of tho Exchange who has so far signed the agreement Is Mr. Aposto llco and he Is a stone contractor em ploying between twenty-five and thir ty men. It Is expected that Mr. Cattermull will arrive In the city the early part of this week. MEETING AT SUNBURY. Called to Take Action with Referenco to Appeal In Conspiracy Case. A mooting wns held at Sunbury Sat urday afternoon for the purpose of making flnnl arrangements for tho ap peal from the decision of Judge Gun stor. declaring tho Weller act uncon stitutional. A number of repiesontatlvos from the Buildings Trades' Council, otllcers of the legislative committee- of tho railroad employes and delegates from tho Pennsylvania State Legislative Labor Leaguo were present at tho meeting. It Is tho general belief among .railroad men that th" decision will bo reversed by the supremo court. A deeper for Scranton Patrons.

Effort Made to Pull It Off in Oakford Court. A quarrel which would have un doubtedly terminated In nn "affair of honor" with peculiarly unplcturcsnue surroundings, was broken up last night night by tho prompt action of the po lice. Instead of "an open space In tho gloomy forest with the sun peering down through the branches," the scene of action was tho darkest por tion of that particularly unromuntlc locality, Oakford court. The contest ants Instead of being noble looking fellows, attired In black knee breeches nnd white shirts with lace frills were two low-sized, swarthy-faced, vll Hnnous looking fellows. They had had some trouble In No. 3115 Centre street and had repaired to the alley to fight It out. Patrolman KniiuH and Sergeant Reese G. Jonea were In the Centre street station house when a man rushed In and told them of the quarrel. They rushed down tho court and captured the two men who woie Just at a stngo when weapons would bo drawn In another moment. When senrchod In tho station house) a razor was found In the pants pocket of cyie while the box was In his vest pocket showing thnt ho had It ready to draw at a moment's notice. The other had a vllllanous looking stiletto In his back pocket. It had a pointed blade eight inches long. They will be given a hearing this morning In pollou court. EXCITING DRIVING CONTEST. F. P. Fuller Came In First and James Blair, Jr., Second. The driving contest was wildly rx rltlng Saturday nt tho Country club. While a number of players made nn excellent showing, F. P. Fuller eamo in first with Mr. .Tnmes Blair, Jr., a close second, Tho match was hold at the fifth tee. It Is probable that the two ball match on Saturday will have many entries.

Correspondingly low prices aro also made on such pianos as Hazleton & Docker. Profits small and payments small are combinations seldom found together, but they certnlnly go hand In hand with Guernsey Brothers. Every long-time buying, large Inter est paying, heavy expense contracting, high priced selling dealer has some unkind word to say of Guernsey Brothers. Is not this a good reason why sharp buyers should Investigate their methods, goods und prices be fore buying? Remember tho place, "Burr Build ing."
