MEN OF THE HOUR.
13 G Russell, the new general super
intendent of tho Delawnie, I.nckaw an
na nnd Western Rallioadl company. Is
making a veiy favoiable Impression
wlih Perantonlans. Without exception,
those who h.uo met him, either In a
business or social way, romaik his
pronounced civility nnd thoiough dem
ocratic beailng, and nt tho same time
are strongly Impressed with 'his busi
ness tact. To tho new spapei men he Is
a revelation In the waj- of a big cor
poration official He is nlvvnys ap
proachable and In an Interview seems
to fully realize that the reporter Is not
a fearful something that must be
pleasantly put up with or diplomatical
ly gotten rid of
Tho .second night he was In Scranton
a Tribune man with a story that
wanted vei ideation bent his card to
Mr Russell's room at 10 o'clock. He
had just tuined into bed nnd wns about
to turn off the lights when the bell boy
lapped but he nevertheless sent woid
to come up and submitted to an Inter
iew sitting up In bed. "Tut, tut," he
paid when the jepoiter mado excuses
for the In ti union "That's an Impoit
ant matter and one that tho public lias
a light to know nbout. I'm heie to
answer questions like that nt any tlmo
of tho night nnd don't you hesitate to
come to hco me. no mntter what hour
it may bo when you have uigent busi
ness with me"
The employes' committee who have
had several cessions with him regard
ing the now icgulnllons are probably
louder than nnj one else In commend
ing his courtesy and consideiutlon nnd
as these committees represent every
noolc and corner of tho Lackawanna
py.stem tho Impression ho mnde cannot
help but enkindle a kindly feeling all
along th line between the men and
tho one official who moie than any else
binds them to tho company's Interests.
Tho Utlca Herald of yesteiday had
this to say of A. C. Salisbury, who suc
ceeds Ganet Hogart as superintendent
of tho main lino of tho Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western tallioad:
"Mr Sallsbuiy has been In the rail
road business nearly thirty jears. and
always on tho road tho superintend
ence' of w hlch he lays dow n today. Tor
eighteen years ho has hold the position
of assistant and superintendent of the
Utlca division, with headquarters In
this city, and this long term Is the best
evidence that his services Jiavo been
faithful and satisfactory. He is well
known and popular with railroad men
everywhere
"While his railroad duties have kept
him well occupied, Mr. Sallsbuiy has
identified hlmseir with the interests of
T'tlca and In his departure this city
will lose a representative citizen. Sev
eral years ago he was active In tho for
mation of the Railroad Branch of the
Young 'Men's ChiUtlan association,
with headquarteis on Whltesboio
street, and he has done more to cro-
1
it
m
moto Its Interests than any other one
man. Kvery railroad man knows him
and feels that ho has In him a friend.
Mr. Salisbury has been a prominent
member and trustee of tho Park Hap
tlst church for ears, and In Its Sun
dny school ho was teacher of tho class
which bears his name and which has
a membership of about slxty.the largest
men's class In tho city. Mr. Salisbury
Ib a member of tho Masonlo and Arca
num fraternities, tho Arcanum and
Tort Schuyler clubs. Ills life here has
been a very useful one to the city nnd
In his depaiturc Utlca sustains a great
loss.
"To sever all these ties of Intciest Is
not an easy task for him, but In this
as In everything ho Is faithful to tho
company he has served so long. No
transfer can sever the friendships he
has formed here, In fact tho change
only shows how strong those friend
ships were. Mr. Sallsbuiy Is In the
prime of life and full of energy. Ho
goes to his new field of labor with tho
congratulations and heartiest of good
wishes of thousands of friends through
out this section of the state."

Ohailos 13. CI like, a contractor and
builder, who lesieles at 82-' North "Wash
ington avenue, was sevorly bitten by
a Inrge mastiff on the street late last
night.
At about 10 10 last evening:, Mr.
Cluiko was walking along Washington
avenue in the direction of his home.
When ho reached the corner of Pine
stieet, he saw a eiy large ellov mas.
tiff standing on the corner. As he
passed ho bnnpped his linger at the
animal and niaelo some kind of a le
inailc. Without even growling tho doc
spiang at Mi. Claike's fate and fas
tened Its teeth In his right cheek Mr.
Clarke knocked him away but tho
brute spiang at him twice more but
finally turned and lan after being
kicked
The injured man hurried to the office
of Dr. is. P. I.ongstieet where the wounds
wio cauteilzed and dressed. There
were two vciy deep gashes in the cheek,
pup vety near the eye. The facial ar
terv was seveied and It was quite an
undertaking to btop the flow of blood.
The doctor said that If the dog had bit
him a few Inches lower the carotid ar
t"ry would undoubtedly hao been
sev creel and fatal results have ensued
befoic acslstance could bo obtained.
Mr. Clarke will make an earnest ef
fort to locnte the animal teiday nnd if

The confcienco between General
Supeilntendcnt Russell of the Dela

iccelve the company's answer.
As on the previous day, nothing was
done of a definite nature further than
to agree on the mileage' sjstem of
wages. Mr. Russell did not care to
deal with the legulatlons until ho was
better acaualntcd with tho toad and
thought that a month would be qulto
sudlclent to post himself well emough
to deal with the mattei. According
ly tho confeience was adjourned un

President Truesdalo came here last
night, but his visit was In no wise

DR. PHILLIPS WILL STAY.
Intends to Disappoint Thoso
Who
Want Him to Resign.
Acting on the almost unanimous ad
vlco of his friends, who wero never
more numerous nor more determined
than todaj', Dr George W. Phillips,
principal of the High school, will, It Is
stated, remain In his present position,
The decision, It may be added, is very
weltomo to the pupils of the High
school.
Whether Dr. Phillips will at this tlmo
prepare a public statement has not
et been decided. Ills friends point
out that no charges wero ever inado
ngalnst him before tho full bonrd of
control nor was ho asked to appear
before that body to meet Ills accusers.
The whole thing, his friends believe,
wns done under cover, and was pre
determined long before the so-called In
vestigation took place. Dr. Phillips'
ft lends say that ho could, under the
school law. In splto of the fact that
the board has voted to ledueo his sal
ary, demand to be brought fuce to
faco with the poisons who have made
accusations apalnst him, nnd they are
confident of his ability to show behind
every charge a pel version of tiuth and
a personal motive. Whether ho will
InsWt on the exerclo of this right Is
tint known.
The public agitation of this matter,
Dr. Phillips Is onoted as fcajlng, has
probably gone far enough If the best
Intel ests of the schools be consldeied,
but his f i lends evidently Intend to
itand by lilm In whatever course ho
may elect to pursue.
