THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1899.
LIVE NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WORLD
33RAKEMAN COPE GIVES HIS
VERSION OF TROUBLE.
Says That He Did His Duty, Nothing
More and Nothing Less Mulherin
& Judge Lumber Company Organ
izedTo Build a Planing Mill.
Working Time at D., L. & W. Col
lieries Will Not Bo Changed Until
There Are More Cars Trainmen
Working Overtime.
The followlnff written statement has
lut-n handed to tbe Tribune for publi
cation: head of the Industrial news column In
The Tribune or Thursday morning,
vhtr-h tells of the dlschaiRe of three
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
trainmen, I think It no mote than fair
that the public should be allowed to
hear the other side.
It has been the custom with some
men, who by some means have at
tained a position of power, not to listen
to any explanation when their minds
have been roused nKuinst subordin
utou hut it luia tint cenerally been the
custom to make their suspicions pub
lic, nor has the act of placarding the
same in public places usually been re
ported to. They did, or do, usually give
the objects of their displeasure an op
portunity to obtain an honest liveli
hood elsewhere and not brand them
before all men's eyes as not to be trust
ed and incompetent, because In theirs
they stand condemned.
I do most emphatically deny the alle
gation that we were arguIriK nt the
time specified In your article, also that
our train was found without a Hag out.
"W'e will acknowledge that the Hag was
not out a proper distance, as we did
not have time to place It there after
the train was brought to a stop. The
question had been laised as to whether
tialn No. 12 ran Sunday morning.
There had been a bulletin up some time
ago stating she would not run Sunday
morning, but it seems that had been
changed and Conductor Nauman was
not aware of the fact. This It is the
conductor's business to ascertain, and
ho was positive that train No. 12 did
not tun on Sunday. He told us what
to do and we obeyed, ns all good men
should do under like circumstances.
Had I done as Superintendent Sat
libury wished me to, backed Into
the siding at once on our arrival, a
collision would have been Inevitable,
as train No. 12 could not stop short of
the switch and would have caught us
on the frog.
As It was, we averted a disaster, only
delaying train No. 12 a few minutes.
This explanation has already been
made to the superintendent by the con
ductor and we are fully Justified In re
peating It, also again to reiterate, when
a -man is on duty under a superior ofll
cer it is his duty to obey all orders
without question or dispute, and I
think every good man will agree with
mo In this. They are supposed to bo
the head, and we the hands.
Yours,
Judd E. Cope, Brakoman.

IT'S DIFFEDEN
iW
THE NORTH AMERICAN
(PHILADELPHIA)
IT'S DIFFERENT, because It prints
all the news, and all the news it prints
Is true.
ITS DIFFERENT, because It's bright
and brisk, up-to-date add vigorous, but
not yellow.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because Its only
policy ts to tell the truth. It has no
covert or personal interests to promote.
It serves no political ambition, no creed,
no class prejudice, no mere partisan
j purpose.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because It advocates
equal taxation and battles against the
existing system, which Uvors tne rich
corporation at the expense of the
farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer
k and Jhe wage-earner.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it stands
lor Republican principles, and makes
war 'upon all who, under the stolen
name of Republicanism, are disloyal
A to those principles.
ITS DIFFERENT, because it believes
manhood and not money should rule.
Therefore it upholds the rights of all,
as against the aggressive power of the
privileged few.
fl8 DIFFERENT, because no boss, no
corporation, can control one line of Its
space.
p-gVplPFERENT. because It Is non
sectarian and broad J every party, every
faith, every class, and the worklngman
equally with the millionaire, gets a fair
, hearing In Its columns.
nS DIFFERENT, be
cause It upholds faith In
humanity, and the pro
gress of mankind toward
higher, ideals, larger
hopes and belter living.

be different. Watch The Nqrth Amerl

lug mill Is to bo erf eted. C. A. O. Stark
formerly of Uuffalo, N. Y has been
added to the llrm and will perform the
duties of secretary. P. Mulherin la
president and M V. Judge, treasurer.
Improving a Colliery.
Important Improvements are being
made on the I. & It. C. & I. Co's. Ham
mond colliery at Glrardvllle. An ex
tension of about 810 feet, to make a
third lift below water level. Is being
sunk on the Buck Mountain slope. A
tunnel will also be driven opposite the
slope for a dlstnnee of about thirty
five feet, to be used temporarily ns a
turn out west of the slope.
The tunnel will be driven from the
Buck Mountain to the Mammoth vein
and the Mammoth gangway will bo
opened from this tunnel, and the third
lift developed. It has not been decided
whether the present hoisting slope on
the Mammoth vein will be continued to
the third lift and used as a main hoist
ing slope, or whether a shaft will be
sunk to hoist the coal to supply the
breaker. Hammond colliery Is destined
to bo one of the largest shippers In the
valley.
To Abandon Collieries.
The last of the series of pillars are
being worked out at Uuck HIdgo at
i3.inmo.tln, and by the close of the year
the mine will be abandoned by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
lion company, who will not renew the
lease with the landowners on account
of the coal about being worked out of
the present levels. To sink a shaft
would be too expensive for the amount
of coal on a lower lift.
The Corbln and Excelsior collieries,
leased by the coal and Iron company
to A. D. Hobertson & Co.. will also be
abandoned nt the end of this year on
account of all the coal on the present
levels being exhausted. The three col
lieries employ about SOO men and boys,
who will bo able to secure employment
at Henry Clay shaft, Burnslde and UIg
Mountain collieries, which are owned
by the Reading Coal and Iron com
pany. Extensive new workings are
being prepared, especially at the Clay
and Burnslde. w
New Time Schedule.
The new time schedule, which has
engrossed the attention of the Laekn
wnnna otllcials for some time, will be
an Innovation in railroad circles in this
city. The nrarrungoment of the time
tables will not materially change the
running time of trains, but will afford
an opportunity for keeping lines on
all trains.
The schedule Is a mammoth board,
divided into two parts nnd designated
by the letters a. m. and p. m. The
hours and mlnute3 of the day are ar
ranged on the board so that the move
ment of every train can be determined
at a glance.
The system of running the. trains Is
worked by a series of pegs and strings
nnd If "the wires become crossed." so
to sneak, the trouble can be lpnrned
without much delay. The schedule Is
now being arranged at the shops nnd
will be ready for use in a few days.
This nnd That.
F.issenpxr traffic has boon light dur

ing to the inclemency of the weather.
Tho rooms in tho Laek.iwanm sntlon

The governor on th fan engine at
Ptoris- shaft broke down yesterday
morning nnd necessitated the shutting
down of npetntlons for the icmalnder
of thptflny. The breakage was repaired
nnd work will be resumed this morn
ing. Many people nro not nwnre that the
I.ehlgh Vnney Railroad company has
an Issue of preferred stock,' no seldom
Is it quoted on the market. There la
only $10G.K00 of it, mainly held by those
w ho "stood In" with the early man
agement of tho road.
Superintendent I.oomls, of the Dela
ware Lackawanna and Western Coal
department, stated yesteidny that tho
mines now in operation nre supplying
the deii'-rd for coal, and until mora
enrs are furnished there will be no per
ceptible change in tho working of tho
various collieries.
Ono of the most obliging employ-js
In the service of the Delaware, I.aeku
nwanna and Western company at the
Lnckawnnna station Is Special Olhcer
Williams. Ills duties bring him In
touch with hundreds of peoplo every
day, nnd the affable manner In which
he greets young and old allko makes
him the popular man that ho Is.
The records of somo nf the fast runs
made on the Atlantic City route of the
Pennsylvania last summer show that
there was Borne tall running there. Tho
dletance of 68.3 miles between Camden
and Atlantic City wos made In from
fifty to ufty-threo minutes on several
days. Tula running was with loaded
trains and the trains were long and
heavy.

OAM.ISI.B INDIANS IN TOWN.
Muscular Red Hen Pais Through
Hera1 on Their Wny to Uttca.
It was an Interested nnd enthusias
tic crowd that gathered nt the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western sta
tion yesterday noon nnd watched the
arrival of the Carlisle Indians' foot
ball team, ns hcrnldcd In yesterday's
Tribune. The latter passed through
here on their way to Utlca nnd stopped
off at Hanley's for dinner nt 12.30.
Their menu was one cnrcfully ar
ranged by their coach, the famous
"Pop" Warner, formerly Cornell's pop
ular nnd able teacher In foot hall tac
tics, and himself a player of no small
reputation. Reside the coach nnd phy
slcnl director, W. O. Thompson, there
were about twenty-two In the party,
comprising the eleven regular players,
the rest being substitutes.
The Indians were all clnd In the reg
ular school uniform nnd are ns heal
thy and brawny-looking a crowd of
aborigines as were ever gathered to
gether. Three of the men, Redwater,
the big guard; Pierce, the full back,
and Wheclock, captain and tackle o
the team, are veritable giants In stat
ure nnd nil the rest are typical In
dians of medium height nnd broad
shouldered, with the high cheek bone
nnd straight hair of their race.
Hudson, their famous quarter back,
Is a short fellow with broad shoul
ders and an intelligent face. Ho is
probably the greatest drop-kicker on
the gridiron today, but takes his hon
ors modestly and Is exceedingly taci
turn nbout himself.
Coach Warner will save his best
men for next Saturday's big game
with Princeton and put In a more or
less scrub team against Hamilton col
lege at Utlca this afternoon. H2 sayi
that In the Indians' game with Har
vard last Saturday they played In
hard luck, but, nevtrehless, he enter
tains a hearty respect for the wearers
of the Crimson, nnd nfllrms that they
have the strongest team on the field
at present.
The Indians, while quiet, were very
friendly with the crowd composed
principally of high school boys who
were out to see them. The greatest
friendship seems to exist between thorn
nnd their good-natured coach nnd, in
fact, the "poor Lo's" seemed to en
tertain a very fraternal nnd o;acoful
spirit towards the world In general.
Just before they left the crowd of
high school boys gave a rousing cheer
for the Indians nnd then another one.
As .1 result. Just ns the train was
about to start the windows were
dr.'-i up and a long, protracted cheer
rent the nlr, which signified that the
men from Cnrllsle were giving their
answering yell.
ELIZA JACKSON INJURED.
Eliza Jackson, aged 63 years, was
brought to the Lackawanna hospital
yesterday morning. It seems that
she w-s crossing West Lackawannn
avenue near the Jersey Central station
when a team of horses ran Into her.
Fho was taken Into the Jersey Cen
tral and attended to und nfterwnrds
icmoved to the Lackawanna hospital.
She Is uninjured with the exception of
a badly sprained ankle.
