MENTION OF SOME
MEN OF THE HOUR
RISE AND ADVANCEMENT OP
HON. W. W. WATSON.
Furnishes nn Object Lesson of tho
Possibilities of America Hon. T.
V. Powderly's Recent Visit to
Wilkes-Barre Calls Forth a Para
graph in tiie Itecord of That City.
Captain Goodwin Who Was in
Charge of Recruiting Office Here Is
Now a Colonel.
Hon, W. W. Watson, who has re
cently been prominent In thn promo
tion of a number of large enterprises,
may be mentioned as one of the self
made men of Scranton. Mr. Watson
was formerly a resident of Susque
hanna county, where ho was for many
yonrs prominent In politics and was
one of the recognized Republican lead
ers In that section. He served us
county superintendent of schools for
several terms prior to entering the
legal profession, and In 1875-6 was a
member of the state senate from tho
Twenty-sixth district, composed of the
counties of Susquehnnna and Wayne.
About llfteen years ugo Mr.. Watson
came to Scranton, where his time has
been ftillv occupied as secretary and
treasurer of the Mooslc Mountain Coal
company and In the practice of law.
Since residing la Scranton, Mr. Wat
son has taken no particularly active
part In politics. He Is recognized as a
forceful, vigorous public speaker and
his arguments In court ave always
models of diction and good law.
Mr. Watson was one of the organ
izers of the American Mutual indem
nity company and the Traders' Na
tional bank of this city, and Is largely
Interested In the extensive transaction
which ho recently closed at Slatlngton,
this state. A company of which he Is
a leading spirit has purchased exten
sive cempnt plants In that vicinity and
have nlso organized the Cement Na
tional b'ank.
Hon. T. V. Powderly, of Washington,
D. C, was In this part of the state for
several days last week. A writer In the
Wllkes-Harre Record, speaking of his
visit to that city, said:
"Hon. T. V. Powderly, commissioner
general of immigration, was In town
on Thursday, on his way to Washing
ton, D. C which Is his headquarters.
In conversation with a Record man,
who asked him to what extent our sys
tem of excluding undesirable Immi
grants Is successful, he stated that It
Is doing fairly well, but that our laws
on this subject are by no means what
they ought to be. Mr. (Powderly ex
pressed his regret that the anthracite
coal region is undergoing an upheaval
of the labor and capital question. He
said he deplored strikes and mentioned
that during his service as grand master
workman of the Knights of Labor he
had never ordered a strike. He had
sustained some strikes that had been
precipitated without his sanction and
without his power to prevent, but ho
had never ordered one.
" 'The last time I saw you,' said Mr.
Powderly to the Record man, 'was
when Lackawanna was cutting loose
from Luzerne, and that was twenty
one year ago this week.'
"The passage of time has left him with
gray hair and moustache, m( other
wise he seems as young and .animated
as In the old days when he so con
servatively directed the great Inter
ests of the worklngmen as head of the
then greatest labor organization."
Three months ago Captain Edward
A. Godwin was In charge of the re
cruiting olilce In this city. Since leav
lng here he has been advanced to major
and colonel. His promotion to colonel
was announced on Friday In the orders
Issued from the war department at
Washington. He has been assigned to
command tho Fortieth Infantry. Col
onel Godwin held the title before, hav
ing been a colonel of a regiment of Im
mune volunteers during the late war
In Cuba. After the regiment of lm
munes was mustered out of the ser
vice he returned to his rank of captain
of the regular nrmy, but was soon pro
moted to major. He has now been di
rected to take charge of one of the
regiments which the war department
has Issued orders to have recruited.
Colonel Godwin Is a native of West
Virginia, and was graduated from
West Point In 1S70. He has been with
the Eighth cavalry almost continuous
ly since and has participated In somo
of the hardest Indian campaigns of tho
last twenty-live years. The many
friends he made while In this part of
tho state are much pleased over his
promotion.

ELOPERS ARRESTED ABROAD.
Taken Into Custody as They Stepped
from the Steamer.
A cablegram was received on Satur
day afternoon by Chief of Police
Kline of Wllkes-Harre telling of tha
arrest of Mrs. John A, Jones and John
Stevenson, alias Saunders, as thuy
were leaving the steamer at Liverpool,
Eng. The prisoners will be held there
until sufllcient proof of tho forgery,
with which they are chnrged, is fur
nished to warrant their detention for
trial. The prosecutor In the case Is
John Jones, the husband of the fleeing
woman.
It appears that the couple secured
by false representations a mortgage
for JCOO on Mr. Jones' property besides
contracting r.ther obligations. They
then departed for the old country with
th" thought that they could enjoy their
lll-gtten gains without fear of moles
tation. Stevenson was a boarder In the
Jones' home.

ests of their favorite. In speaking
about Judge Archbald's chances Mr.
Flelt:: said yesterday:
"It Is settled that Judge Archbald's
name will go before the convention
and while there Is a good deal of talk
about J, liny Brown, Judge Archbald

port from alt sections of the state

cause of these rssuranees he and his
friends have decided that no matter
what the conditions nt Harrlsburg
are bis name must go before the, con
vention and the contest be fought out
to a finish.
"I have seen nnd talked with many
of tho leaders throughout the state dur
ing the week and am satisfied there
Is a stronger sentiment for Archbald
than for any man mentioned for the
place."
Judge Archbald's name will be pre
sented to tho convention by Mr. Fleltz.
The man who will second the nomina
tion has not yet been decided upon.

ter's rescue, received last week, tended
In no small degree to brighten tho sorrow-stricken
home and to lighten the
burdens and cheer tho hopes of tho
wife and children of the supposedly
lost man.
ASKF.D FOR INFORMATION.
When Mr. Watson was In tho west a
few weeks ago he authorized several
parties In Port Townsend and Seattk
to communicate with Mrs. Vetter by
wire in case anything should transpire.
Both of the gentlemen who have sent
the telegrams were well known to Mr.
Watson and he Is confident that they
would not send anything which they
did not get on good authority.
Nothing definite In regnrd to the de
tails or tho source of Information can,
of course, be known until the letter
mentioned arrives, which will probably
be either tomorrow or Wednesday
Taking Into consideration the fact that
both men wired independently, and that
their Information tallies. It Is very
likely that the news that Mr. Vetter
Is alive Is true.
Tho home referred to Is probably one
of the numerous mission houses of tho
various denominations scattered along
tho coast in the vicinity of St. Mich
aels. When any cases of distress are
reported to these Institutions It Is cus
tomary for them to send out rescuing
parties and to call them after the name
of the leader. The Ingham referred to
Is supposed to be the leader of one of
these parties. If the message Is true,
Mr. Vetter Is undoubtedly convalescing
at the mission or homo from which tho
rescuing party was sent.
PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Tho only peculiar circumstance sur
rounding the Information is that no
word has been received from Mr. Vet
ter since June 6, when, according to
the telegram, he was doing well. Mr.
Watson Is of tho opinion that if ho had
sent word of his safety that It should
have arrived before this time, as nearly
two months and a half have elapsed.
On the whole, however, both Mr. Wat
son nnd Mrs. Vetter are Inclined to
place a great deal of reliance on the
Information and they nre anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the letter giv
ing the details of the affair.
