They Do Not Agree as to the Causo, However Some Allcgo That It Is Due to tho Strike While Others Are of the Opinion That the Depression Would Have Materialized Strike or No Strike No Change la Ex pected This Year Some Interest ing Interviews, For the purpose of ascertaining the exiict condition of tho building trades In this city at the present time, a Tri bune man tnteivlewed several ot tho leading architects of the city yester day afternoon. What they had to say on the subject nnd their opinions ns to tho future outlook are given below. John Davey, of Davey & Bross, said: "There Is no doubt but that the build ing trade In this city nt the present time Is In a very depressed condition. It Is In all probability due to tho car penters' strike, and I am of the opin ion that If a. compromise were effected thnt there would be quite n boom be fore winter. While we have a large amount of work on hand at the pres ent time outside the city, there Is only one Job being done under our super vision in the city at the present time. That is being done by a member of the Builders' Exchange." 13. O. Worden said: "The building trades In this city is positively not In a good condition, nnd I do not think there will be a boom this fall. In this city at the present time I have twelve buildings being done under my super vision. Nino of these aro being built by members of the Exchange or con tractors who have not acceded to tho demands of the strikers. Ono Is being built by a contractor who has acceded the demands und tho two remaining I am not sure about tho standing of tho contractors building them regarding tho strikers. NOT DUE TO STRIKE. "I do not thltiV that the present de pression Is due to the strike, but think It would exist If there were none at all. Tho members of the Exchange have all the men they require to do all the work they have on hand, and those contractors whb have acceded the de mands have, of course, an unlimited supply." Asked If any one had stipulated to him that only union labor be employed on a job, Mr. Worden said: "No per son has made any such demand to me. In all cases persons having plans to be bid on have told me to let the contract to the lowest bidder, Irrespective of whether he employed union labor or not." J. Harvey Hlackwood when seen, said: "Tho building trade In this city Is certainly in a bad condition nnd It will probably remain stagnant till spring. I have at the present time only two buildings In course of erection In this city. Both of these are being built by members of the Builders' Ex change." Perclval J. Morris said: "The build ing trades in this city at the present time is certainly In bad shape and there will positively be no pick up before spring. I have only two buildings un der course of construction at the pres ent time, the laundry for the House of tho Good Shepherd and the Foundling Home, both of which are being con structed by members of the exchange." CONTRACTS NOT HELD. "There have been no contracts hold off on account of the strike. In fact the strike cuts no figure whatever In the present depression. It is simply a case of the supply being greater than the demand. There nre over 250 vacant houses In the city at the pres ent time and no one Is going to build any more for speculation just now. The building trade Is booming In the surrounding cities, where the existing conditions are different. In nil cases the contracts I have placed have been given to the lowest bidder with the sanction of the party for whom tho work Is being done." II. C. Rutherford said: "The build ing trade Is certainly In n very de pressed condition at the present time and I am of the positive opinion that it Is due to the carpenters' strike. I have only three building being erected In the city and all of these are being built by exchange members. I have several plans the contracts for which are being held oft until the present strike Is over. "In no case has any one having plans drawn by me offered the stipulation that jinly union labor be employed, but on the contrary several have stipulated that the contracts be given to mem bers of tho exchange nnd these only." A perusal of the above opinions will show that there Is almost a complete stagnntlon In the building trade In this city. Three of the five architects say that this dullness Is not due to the strike, whllo the other two maintain that It Is. Only one looks for a boom his fall and that one only providing a compromise between employer and employe Is effected. The strike will continue all winter, In all probability, and there will prob ably bo no change In the situation till the spring season comes. Pennsylvania Pensions. Washington, Aug. 16.

Street Commissioner O'lloylo yester day set a gang of men nt work clean ing out the big Linden street sewer from Adams avenue to Mllllln nvenuc. It Is the first time, ns far ns the com missioner knows, that tho sower has ever been cleaned. Cinders, sticks, stones nnd other debris have been de posited on the bottom to a depth of a foot In some places and If not re moved would in time clog tho sewer. This work Is not only dlftlcult, but hnzardous. The sediment has to be shoveled Into buckets, carried" to a manhole and lifted to the surface. Six men working In three ehlfts do the work Inside the sewer. Tho two who load tho buckets have to work In watpr up to their knees. The How is very swift and should they be over come by gas or otherwise lose their footing, would be carried away, pos sibly to the river. To guard against this each man hns a stout rope so cured about his waist, the other end of which Is held by a companion lo cated at the bottom of the manhole. The shifts are changed every hour, the heat, foul air and stooping posi tion which the four-foot sewer requires tho men to maintain makes It very trying work. It will probably take a week to complete the job. YOUNG PEOPLE RUN DOWN Accident on the Erie nnd Wyoming Valley Railroad nt the Dunmore Borough Line. Hubert Fltzpatrlck, a young man re siding at CU Monroe avenue, was run down, nnd perhaps fatally Injured, about 0.30 o'clock Tuesday night by nn Erie and Wyoming Valley passenger train. Fltzpatrick and Miss Margaret Bar rett, a young woman to whom he Is engaged to marry, were strolling along the tracks near their homes. Near a bridce that spans a stream at Mon roe nvenuc, they sat down. Who.2 the train came along, bound for the Wash ington avenue station, they arose, and when It passed resumed their seats on the track. The train returned In n short time, but neither of them noticed It. Tho engine crashed Into them. Fltzpatrick was dragged across tho bridge, while Miss Barrett was sent tumbling down the embankment. After crossing the bridge the young mnn was released from his awful posi tion. The trnln was stopped, and he was removed to his home. Dr. Thompson was called, and upon examination learned that Fltzpatrick was dangerously hurt. He was re moved to the Scranton Private hospital for treatment. His condition last night was serious. Two ribs aro broken, nnd It Is feared that one of them pene trated a lung. Miss liarrett escaped with slight bruises, but is confined to her room, suffering from nervous prostration. FOR PASSING COUNTERFEITS. Nanticoke Man Arrested by Deputy Marshall Lowry. Deputy United States Marshall Clark Lowry on Monday arrested Joe Iinrnowskl, of Nanticoke, for passing two counterfeit silver dollars. They wfro given in payment on a watch which Dnrnowski bought of Charles H. Kulp. The prisoner says ho received tho spurious coin from a fellow country man. They are a very poor counterfeit. Commissioner Halm committed I3ar- nowski to jail. . - BURGLARS AT WAVERLY. They Entered the Store of A. B. Cowles & Co. The general store of A. 11. Cowles .t Company at Waverly was burglarized Tuesday night. Entrance was gained to the store by removing: a pane of glass. The safe was blown open and a dollar of good currency was taken, likewise n counterfeit $3 bill and two silver dollars. Dry goois and othsr mer chandise was removed. Ther? is not any clue to the burglars. INJURED IN THE MINE. A "Feather Edge" Fell on Barney Ravnskey in the Manville Mine. Hainey Ravnskey, employed in tho Man lllo mine as a laborer, was In jured while at work yesterday. A pli-'ce of coal from a portion of the roof termed tho ''feather edge" fell in him. Tho man was removed to the Lacka wanna hospital, where It was ascer tained that bis Injuric3 consisted of slight bruises. FIREMEN'S CONVENTION NOTES The souvenir book, to be published by the executive committee of the state firemen's convention, will probab ly bo the most comprehensive and com plete publication ever Issued by tho litemeii o this or any other mate.

The proceedings of the eo;ien tlon will also be given In full ai'd to further add to the Interest und attrac tiveness of the hook, a graphic sketch of the city of Scranton, Its Industries and the leading business nnd profes sional men will be given. Such being tho fact, it behooves our merchants and citizens generally ti aid the exccutUo 'committee In every way they can to make this souvenir book a grand success, for It will not only be typical ot tho Electric City and Its lire department, but probably also the remembrances of tho Inrt flrcmei.'s convention to be held In the city of Scranton. It will be retained by all ns a lasting memento of tho occasion. James Connell, ex-Inspector of the Dronklyn. V. Y. lire department, visit ed this city yesterday In the lntereit ot the state tlremen's convention, and cnlled on the executive committee. He Is en route to the Syracuse, N. Y.. con vention, where nil the representative firemen ar.d chiefs from all over the Union will assemble. August 22. Mr. ConiHI Is a most genial and nffobb gentleman, nnd a thorough fireman.

They Intend That If tho Mayor Is to Dismiss Them for Political Rea sons That the Public Shall Know It If They Resigned nt the Mere Request of the Mayor It Would Glvo tho Infcience,They Feel, That They Aro Conscious of Some Wrong-Doing. Patrolmen James Saul and Stephen Dyerdonot propose to "resign" without n struggle. Doth of them reported for duty last night nnd went out on their respective beats, although tho lieutenants of their squads did not read their names ut roll call. After taking counsel with their friends yesterday they decided that It would not be Just to themselves tc hand In their resignations. "Wo do not want to leave the fore," one i;f them said to a Tribune reporter islerdaj, "and it could hardly bo ex ported that ve would resign for the mere t.trrose of suiting somebody', co'ive.n ence. Then, nialn, If a re signed without a protest tho public would have renson to think we are un der some cloud nnd that we would pre fer to meekly submit to dismissal than court tho preferring charges and nn Investigation. If the mayor wants to get rid of us he will have to take some other methods. If he has any charges to prefer against us we want to know It. If we nre to be discharged for political reasons we want the public to know It." DYER FELL IN LINE. When the night force assembled at headquarters last evening at 7.15 o'clock Patrolman Dyer was present in full uniform and with badge, club and din ner tucket. Lieutenant Davis called fie roll nml as each man's name was announced he took his place In the line. Patrolman Dyer's name was not road, l:ut he took his place with the others, nevertheless, and when Uni formed to march to their several beat-j Ml In behind and followed them to hln accustomed beat, No. 14, embra? 'ng Urldge street, Scranton street and the adjacent territory. Lieutenant "Davis took no notice of him. whateve-. and the other officers only looked at him through the corners of their eye .. At the West Side station house a sim ilar scene wns enacted with Patvolmau. Sau! doing the leading role. Ho re torted at the usual time and whet the other officers started out on their beats he proceeded to West Lackawanna avc-:u-e, whore he had been di!ng duty psevicusly, and at a late hour last night was still patrolling there. The mayor will likely send to select council tonight notice of their having been removed for cause and nomina tions of two men to succeed them. What the outcome will be cannot bo safely guessed. The recent decision In the Harrlsburg case seems to give they mayor power to remove officers without consulting select council. He cannot, however, appoint successors without the advice and consent of the council, but there Is a proviso In the law permitting him to make tempor ary appointments for a period not ex ceeding thirty days without the ap proval of council. ACTING PATROLMEN. Whether or not the mayor will take advantage of this provision to appoint and re-appoint his nominees as acting patrolmen until such time ns council confirms them remains to be seen. Four other patrolmen are said to be booked for dismissal as soon us Saul and Dyer are disposed of.. REUNION AT NAY AUG PARK. It Will Be Held There on August 29.
