WANTS THE ORDER REVOKED.
Jacob Keiper Asks for the Custody
of His Child.
Court granted a rule yesterday on
Michael Walter to show cause why an
order made in 1893 shall not be re
voked. Tho rule was issued In the mat
ter of tho adoption of Pauline Vivian
Keiper, at tho solicitation of the child's
father, Jacob Keiper, a resident of Al
toona. The child was adopted by tho Wal
ters on Oct. 25, 1S93, when all the par
ties lived In this city, and on July 21 of
the present year, Mrs. Walters eloped
with a man named Parker, taking the
child to Indiana, wheiu they have since
resided.
The father alleges that tho woman Is
not the proper person to cate for the
child, and on that account wants thrs
decree for adoption revoked, and the
child returned to his care.

JOHN YOUBMAN KILLED.
Ho Was Run Down by a Train on
the 0. & W. Rallrond.
John Yourman, a laborer at tho West
Milne colliery, was killed by an In
coining Ontailu und Western passenger
train yesterday afternoon, shortly after
four o'clock. He was walking on tho
up track und had stepped from it to
avoid an approaching freight. The
young man lived on Nay Aug avenue,
nearly opposite Wood street, and was
on his way home fiom his work when
the train struck h! .
Ho whs hurled f am the track Into
tho air, sustaining u cut under the
chin, a broken neck and arm, and the
fracture of both legs. He was yet
alive when persons who Baw tho acci
dent hurried to his aid, but died with
in a. few minutes and before medical
uld could roach him. Tho train stop
ped and bucked to the place of acci
dent, and one of the brakemen was
left with the body.
Tho young man was eighteen years
old and had been In this country two
months, coming her from Poland. Ho
has no relatives In America so far ns
could be learned. Coroner Koberts wns
notified of tho fatality. Meanwhile tho
dead body remained beside the rail
road track, awaiting the coroner's ar
rival. Tho latter was on hand soon
and ordered tho body removed to Your
man's boarding house. He summoned
a Jury which will Investigate the death.
CAKE WALK IN MUSIC HALL.
It Attracted a Very Large Audience
to That Place.
The finest and cleverest exhibition of
rako-walklng ever seen In this city took
place last night In Music hall. The ex
hibition was under the auspices of tho
Eighth Ward club, and tinder tho direct
management of Its president, Charles
Battle.
The prize walk did not begin until
after 12 o'clock und when It did the
floor was packed with people, making
even tho clearing of a space for tho
walkers a difficulty.
The judges, Alex. Dunn, Jr., John
Loftus and Del Slmrell, were seated
upon tho stage, from which an or
chestra furnished music for the walk
ers. The following couples contested for
tho prize: T. S. Rogers and Miss Mar
garet Taylor, of Buffalo; Eugene Rob
inson and wife, of Philadelphia; Will
iam Fisher, of Blnghamton, and Miss
Annie Vaughan, of Scranton; J. IT.
Anderson, jr., of Binghamton. and Miss
Allle Barber, of Scranton; Percy and
Emma Ray, of Wilkes-Barre.
All the ladles were becomingly at
tired, one of them being gowned In a
complete costume of red satin, while
tho gentlemen wore all sorts of ilashy
attire.
After a deal of argument and second
ary trials the first prizes, a gold wateh
for the lady and a silver-handled um
brella for the gentleman, were award
ed to T. S. Rogers and Miss Margaret
Taylor, of Buffalo.
The winning couple appeared here o
few weeks ngo at the Gaiety with the
"Hot Time in Dixie" company.
Tho enthusiasm of the crowd when
the decision was announced showed
clearly that its sympathies were with
the winners, and Miss Taylor was car
ried around on the shoulders of several
of those present.

FINAL EVENT OF
THE CONVENTION
TOURNAMENT CONCLUDES THE
PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK.
Visitors Homeward Bound Well
Pleased with Scranton and Her
Teople Few Companies Remain
Over Till Today Hoso Race, Hook
and Ladder Race and Drill Proved
Very Interesting Events One of
the Decisions on Individual Prizes
Protested.
The firemen's convention Is now a
thing of tho past. The last event oc
curred yesterday afternoon when the
tournament took place, and last night
only u few of visiting companies re
mained In the city.
It was a big event all through and
will augument In no small measure
the fame Scranton has won as a con
vention city. On all sides we hear
only tho warmest words of praise from
the visitors for the hospitable man
ner In which they were entertained.
The convention committee Is reserving
congratulations for the highly success
ful results of Its labors.
Other cities In which state firemen's
conventions have been bold have given
it out that these gatherings were a
decidedly undesirable thing, but It Is
not likely that Scranton will be heard
uttering any such complaint. The lire
men were probably incited to obnoxious
conduct In the Instances which devel
oped complaints. Here, they found
entertainment provided for them that
did not call for a display of bolster
ousnCss In Its enjoyment. Like any
other delegate would, tho firemen took
what was offered and being kept
busy with reasonably quiet and order
ly entertainment had little time for
tho kind that causes objections. Scran
ton can heartily say "Come again."
THE PRIZ13 WINNHRS.
Five companies return from the con
vention richer than they came. Those
are the successful contestants In tho
tournament, conducted yesterday af
ternoon on Wyoming avenue.
The Hlbernla company of Alleutown
won the first prize of $75 In the free-for-all
hose lace, tho Eagles, of Pltts
ton, coming In second and capturing
a $25 prize. The Friendship company,
of Boyertovvn, won tho first prize of
$75 for tho hook nnd ladder race and
Luzerne won the second place with
the $50 that went with It. In tho prize
drill contest, the Eagles, of Plttston,
captured the $100 first prize by de
feating the Excelsiors, of Bellewood.
The second prize was $50.
The tournament was announced to
take placo at 1 o'clock but it was two
hours late In getting started and lasted
until nearly 3 o'clock. A good sized
crowd was present during all this
time, but ns may be believed there
were few who watched tho thing from
start to finish.
The hoso race was the first event.
It had three entries, the Humane Fire
company, of Mahanoy City; Eagle
Hose company, of Plttston, and Hl
bernla Fire company, of Alleutown.
Thee ontest consisted in running with
a can lagc 250 feet, making a coupling
to a plug, unreeling 150 feet of hose,
uncoupling a connection and attaching
a nozzle. Eighteen men ran with each
company.
HIBERNIA'S TIME.
The Hlbernlas succeded in doing all
this In 40 3-5 seconds. The Eagle's
time was 4 i-t seconds and the IIu
manes who were confidentially looked
upon to make a good showing, lost
about fifteen seconds through a mis
take made by their nozzle man In tak
tr.B a position at the joint beyond the
one that was to be uncou.Ved, and
In consequence they received the slow
mark of 53 seconds.
The hook and lndder race was run
over the same course. Hand trucks
wero drawn and each had to cary at
least three ladders. After making the
lur. a thirty-foot ladder had to l:e
raised and a man sent to the top. Tho
Boyertovvn and the Luzerne compan
ies were tho only ones entered. The
time was respectively 39 seconds and
41 4-5 seconds. .
The Eagles and F.xcelsIors were tho
only entries In the drill contest. Tho
Excelsiors had some pretty figures but
they did not show tho military preci
sion of the Pltstonlans nnd had to be
contei'.t with second place. The Pitts
ton company gives a remarkable exhi
bition. The ease, grace and accuracy
with which they executed their pretty
and intricate movements evoked most
hleartv applaud. Each company
drilled with twenty-four men
The Eagle cl) 111 'company claims to bo

KEPT OPEN HOUSE.
All the companies kept open house
again last night that those who re
mained over night might be made to
realize that the hospitality of Scrnnton
firemen Is unbounded. To speak nc
currately, tho "open houses" which
were inaugurated Thursday night were
stitl open last night.
All of yesterday the visitors kept
making the rounds of the local com
panies' quarters nnd at night they were
still at It. Both entertainers and en
tertained weie having a great, glor
ious, grand time In their own peculiar
way and tho onlookers wished them
joy.
The firemen still remaining In tho
city are scheduled to leave this morn
ing. The state officers and most of

LACKAWANNA WANTS
TO BOOM BUSINESS
OFFICE OF INDUSTR1A7, COM
MISSIONER CREATED.
It Will Be tho Duty of This Nnw
Official to Encourago Industrial
Growth of tho Towns Along tho
Lino of the Road by Advertising
Their Advantages and Offering the
Company's Assistance to Indus
tries That Will Come Into the Ter
ritory Covered by the Road.
Announcement was made yesterday
by President Truecdale ot tho Lacka
wanna load of tho creation ot tho officii
of Industrial commissioner and thp pur
pose of the company to enter actively,
energetically and at once upon tho
work of nourishing the Industrial
growth of the cities nnd tovwis along
the line of tho Lackawanna.
The man to fill the new office has
not a yet been definitely decided up
on, but his name is likely to bs an
nounced any day within the coming
fortnight.
J. M. Daly, superintendent o trans
portation, to which dopaitment tho
now office Is to be attached, said y si
terday when asked concerning the
plan and scope of tho company's latest
enterprise:
"An industrial commissioner on a
railroad is what a secretary of a board
of trade is to a city. His business la
to build up tho business of the road by
building up the business of tho towns
contributing to the road's support,
"If towns along tho line of a railroad
are prosperous a road can be prosper
ous. A railroad can not expect to do
business In a territory that Is dead
Industrially. To figure It down to first
principles It should bo the duty of a
railroad to do all it can to mike every
industrial body along its line wealthy
and I might say healthy, happy and
wise If it can, for thfen there will bo
more food eaten, more and better
clothes worn, more building and furn
ishing of houses and moro traveling,
and when all this would eventuate tho
railroad capable of holding Its ov.'n In
competition ought to profit.
BOOK OF PARTICULARS.
"Already the transportation depart
ment Is at woik on a book." Mr. Daly
went on to say, "In which is to be list
ed In ready-reference form, all tho rep
resentative industries on all the Lack
awanna lines. This will be distributed
broadcast, and it will be the duty t,t
the industrial commissioner to bring
these Industries to the attention of tho
buyers and encourage purchases from
them by offering the beFt freight rates
tho company can afford to give over Its
own Hneg and make with connecting
lines. He will paiticularly endeavor
to advertise these industries one to the
ether and strive to encourage an inter
change of business.
"Incidentally, the company will rig
Idly pursue the policy already Inaugu
rated of buying all its supplies and
having all its work done in Iti own
immediate territory.
Instancing tho idea locally Mr. Daly
said: "There was some talk of the
Lackawana Iron and Steel company
moving Its plant away from here. Such
a thing will never happen If any rea
sonable Inducement wo are capable
of offering will cause them to stay.
At present wo are buying nil our rails
from the L. I. & S. company and
though steel is at a boom price we are
using no small amount of rails. One
of the difficulties which It was said,
wa,s causing the steel company to
consider the advisability of moving
Its plant to Buffalo was the high
freight rate it had to pay on ore
brought here from the west nnd which
despite the high cost of transportation
was cheaper In the long run than the
Tilly Foster and Lebanon ores which
It had been using. That difficulty can
be satisfactorily attended to. The
steel company won't leave Scranton on
that account, I am almost safe in
vowing.
WHAT HE WOULD DO.
"Last but not least," Mr. Daly con
tinued, "the Industrial commission will
go out into the highways and byways
of the Industrial world seeking to in
duce new manufacturers to locate In
towns along the road.
"The towns that will bo benefited
most by this feature of the work are
those to offer the best Inducements. A
board of trade that will co-operate
with tho commissioner will profit by
It. The company will be found leady
and willing at all times to do its share,
and here In Scranton it sees opportuni
ties of doing considerable. I have
known roads In the west to give land
and loan money to new Industries that
wanted to locate along their lines.
How tar the Lackawanna will carry
Its woik ot encouragement I am not
prepared to state. I can say, however,
that President Truesdale was never
niggardly in tho carrying out of any
policy he adopted and In this particular
policy he Is enthusiastically lntei
ested." Beecham's Pills for distress after eat
