MR. POWDERLY IN THE CITY.
Hn Camo Here to Cast Jiis Vote To
morrow. Hon. T. V. Powdcily, commissioner
general of Immigration, came up from
Washington yestenlny, that he might
be on hand bright and caily tomonow
morning at Mears' mulo barn In the
Tvventy-llrst watd to cast his vote, a
privilege he has never failed to exer
cise but once since he attained his ma
jority and that once was w hen he wasi
dlbnunllfled by having moved out of
one district Into another too near elec
tion day.
Mr. Powderly says the fight In Ohio
Is absorbing most of the attention of
the Washlngtonlans, but despite tin
fact that the balloting In Pennsylvania
Is looked upon as a matter of form,
not a little Interest Is evinced in the
capital In the size the Republican ma
jorities will nttain. This Interest Is
occasioned In part by the fictce effo.'H
which tho Wnnnamakerltcs nre put
ting forward to make a fallowing.
Mr. Powderly says he will be gieat'y
suiprlbod If Pennsylvania" does not give
a big Republican majority. "My ex
peiience with the horny-handed son
of toil, as the polltlcl in Is wont to char
ncteil.e him around election day,
teaches me." said the former master
workman of tho Knights of Labor,
"that he Is a veiy thoughtful sort of
a being, and that he can generally be
jelled upon to vote for that which con
eluies to his Interests. This being the
cahe. It Is beyond me to see how this
gie.it Industilal state In this marvel
ous Industilal revival under Republi
can admlnlstintlon can offer any hope
to the party under whoso only lecent
administration conditions existed that
are dlamotiically opposite to those pre
vailing now."
Mr. Powderly spoke Interestingly on
the Industilal rovlvnl, a h.' does on
every subjct ho css,is to iltscuss, ro
li'tlng pveial Incidents coming under
his obscivatlon which wont to show
how thoioiigh and complete the revival
1 rally Is. On of the stiongst -iri'ii-ments
tending to ptove tin great de
mand for labor Is Instanced Mr. Pow
derlv savs In tho repot ts from rail
mad men nil over tho i-nuntiy that thu
K'oat nimy of tiamps whiili tiaveled
I li fi eight In every direction a. few
i ears ago has almost entirely disap
peared. These- men urie not "hobos"
but good honest woiklngmen looking1
for fin povment. The sequel proves it,
Mi Powderly says
An Item of particular local interest,
Mr. Powdcily bi ought with him was to
the effect that last wel, he sent back
to Italy a gang of fourteen laborers
who weio brought to this rountiy by a
padrone living In Scranton.
PHIL RINSLAND'S OPINION.
He Saw the Jeffries-Sharkey Fight
Triday Night.
City Assessor Phil Rlnsland Is homo
fiom the bis fight at Coney Island
Fiiday night, more sttongly convinced
than ever that Jeff ties Is the best man
of the present day. He has been all
tho big fights of the past decade and
keeps close tabs on all the goings on
In pugllsltlc circles, which, coupled
with the fact that ho has good Judg
ment In most things, makes his opin
ion worth something.
Jeffries was not lu ns good condition
as when ho foucht Fltzslmmons, Mr.
Rlnsland says and did not show any
thing llko tho aggressiveness that char
acterized his go with the lanky lad.
Mr. Rlnsland attributes this to Jef
frlss sore loft arm. Ho seemed to
sparo It ns much as possible and for
many a tound might bo said to havo
fought a one-handed battle. Ills con
dition, too, was not as plnkey as In
IiIh first championship battle.
Had the thing done to a finish, Mr.
Rlnsland says, Sharkey would Burely
have been knocked out. Ho was so
badly done up that ho had to be car
ried to his cab, while Jeffries was out
of his dressing room and mingling
with the crowd us It left the building.

Under ft Tree Whila McCaitby and
His Companions Wore Resting He
Started to Walk Away nnd His
Dog Sprang to His Feet to Follow
Him His Ptvw Struck tho Trigger
and the Weapon Was Exploded.
Ilenmilcablc as it may seem, Jnmes
McCarthy, of Sport Hill, Dunmoic,
was shot yesterday by his own dog
Jack.
So soilous nro McCarthy's lnjuiles
thut ho had to have his right leg amp
utated ubovo tho knee lust night at
the Lackawanna hospital nnd tho doc
tors at the hospital ure not 6uro that
hu will recover.
McCarthy H u man of about 32,
married and well known In Dunmorc.
Testenlay afternoon he was out hunt
ing rabbits In the Dunmoro woods with
two companions and a brace of dogs.
Late In the afternoon the three men
were sitting down under u tree, rest
ing. McCarthy's shot gun was at his
side. The gun was loaded and cocked.
McCarthy stood up to walk to a logr
some distance away and after he had
gone n fow feet his dog Jack Jumped
to his feet nnd bounded after him.
The dog's paw btruck tho trigger and
tho chnrge the gun contained was ex
ploded. The charge was of small
shot, which penetrated McCarthy's
right leg just about the knee.
Aid was called and nftorvvard, the
Lackawanna hospital ambulance ar
riving, McCarthy was placed In It and
taken to the hospital. Ills wounds
were examined there nnd It was dis
covered that the shot had entered at
the knee, between tho femur and knee
Joint. The limb was badly Injured,
the flesh being lacerated and the bones
badly broken.
At about 9.45 o'clock last night the
injured man was taken to the opera
tion room. It was there decided that
amputation was necessary and accord
ingly the leg was amputated about the
middle of the thigh.
During the operation McCaithy lost
much blood anel after It was over was
eiy weak. He Is In a very serious
condition and the doctors cannot say
for certain whether or not ho will re
cover. ,
Toitunatcly, he is of a strong, ro
bust frame and seems to have a pow
erful constitution. At 12 o'clock last
night n slight change for the better
had set In and he was resting mote
peacefully.

SIMPSON'S SERMON.
Took for His Theme the Words,
"By Your Fruits Ye Shall
Know Them."
Rev. W. J. Simpson, D. D pastor of
he Asbury Methodist Episcopal church,
delivered nn Intel estinc sermon last
evening before his congregation, tak
ing as his theme, "By your fi tilts e
shall know them." Ho spoke, lu part,
us follows:
Some people think that man Is governed
by notions rather than by laws and 1 do
Biro to tav In beginning that this Is not
correct. Wo uio governed by a grcut and
dlvlno law. 'lhcro nro too in my men liv
ing today who upend their tlmo niguliig
beliefs rather believing something. Nine
out of eveij ten men aro better able to
aiguo about thu position they take than
to stato ilriiilj and unequivocally tho rock
which forms the foundation of their faith
Man should live by believing something
This nfCeeU chaiaeter to a wonderful
degree and wo must bear In mind that
tho characters wo ato foimlng now nio
tho s.amo wo will have a millions jears
hence. If they rre corrupt now, they will
be corrupt then; If good, they will be good
then.
How many of us there ato who aro
prone to Interprot the laws for our own
benefit, but friends, on can t do this
v.lth the laws of God. We can't use any
subterfuge witli these divine revelations.
Let evciy man look down Into his InJl
vldual heart and boo if he Is right In the
fcight of God, and let us learn to act out
cur convictions whatever they may be.
We must olso renumber that men nre
not mndo truly good by slightly mending
their was a and relinlng their manners.
There must bo a coming down to the
place whero tho blood of Chi 1st Hows.
Until tho life of Jesais Christ is In a man
ho Is rot In Inrmonv with God.
To be a truo Christian means to bo a
full man; to become a. good treo bearing
good fruit and to keep on producing It.
Chi 1st nover deals with tho old, ho
makes all things new. Ho throws away
tho old ears and glvo us new ones JiiPt
ns we with Is help may throw oft our old
sinful lives and put on new ones.
We mint see for ourselves the sublimity
and power of this salvation offered to us
by God befoie wo can truly appicclite it
and when wo have focalized and coneeiii
liated all oui thoiphts on thla dlvlno
fact wo will begin to realize tho supreme
glory of It all.

Denial of Davis
Albany. N. Y Nov 5 Attorney Gen
eral Davis inaVes a vigorous denial of the
statements made by President Dovvc, of
the Commercial Travellers' league, that
his office had refuted to tako action
against the alleged spool cotton trust
Mr Davis says that not only has hN
otllco not refused but that It Is at pres
ent trjlng to get tnnglhlo evidence
against tho company and that the sole
delay was because Mr. Dovve's list of
merchants who would glvo evidence was
provon fictitious nnd that Mr. Dovvo, al
though promising other evidence, failed
to funilsh It.
VIADUCT IS AGAIN
BEING AGITATED
NEW TREIGHT HOUSE IS PRI
MARILY RESPONSIBLE,
West Sldera Vlow with Alarm tho
Increased Delays nnd Dangers That
Will Result from the Shunting on
tho Tracks nt tho Wcst Lackawan
na, Avenuo Crossing When the Now
Transfer Depot Is In Operation.
Councilman Ato Figurine Ways
of Securing a Bettor Route.
Talk of n viaduct over tho railroad
crossing on West Lackawanna nvenuo
Is again quite general on the West
Side and several of tho committeemen
aro figuring out ways and means of
carrying this project to a successful
ls3un.
Tho building of the now freight
house Just below the crossing Is the
primary cause of the viaduct talk crop
ping dut again. West Slders who
ride frequently to and from the cen
tral city arc viewing tho completion
of the building with alarm. "It Is
bad enough ns It Is now," they say,
"but when the freight depot Is com
pleted and the tracks at the cross
ing become a freight yard there will
be a great increase to the annoyance
of delays and danger and accident."
CHANGE OF ROUTE SUGGESTED.
There Is somo talk of doing away
with the West Lackawanna avenue
trolley route to the West Side and
running tho cars by way of Linden
street. This proposition Is favorable
to th6 trolley company and should the
city give tho company a right of way
over the Linden street bildge there
Is no question but that the company
would quickly take advantage of It.
Some argue that a viaduct nt West
Lackawanna avenuo must eventually
come and that It might as well come
now as at any other time. The trol
ley company nnd old regime of the
Larkawnnna each offered to contribute
S10.005 to the enterprise under certain
conditions. The trolley company'3
offer r.s far as Is known still stands
good and It Is safe to presume that
the new officials of the Lackawanna
would be willing to go the company s
former offer Bovoral thou.-i.iiid bettor
If In return It could get the excluslw
use of the crossing.
Tho city hasn't a single cent to de
vote to such an Improvement and
could only raise It by a vote of the
people, as the debt limit has been
reached, nnd, It Is feared, exceeded.
THE FIRST STEP.
The first step to bo taken by the via
duct revivalists Is to Interview the offi
cials of the Lackawanna road and
the trolley company to ascertain what
sharo of the expense they would stand,
and then, If any encouragement, Is
received, to make an effort to negotiate
a leasonable deal with the property
owners along the coutse of the via
duct, that their claims for damages
may not nt the very outset make the
project Impracticable.
Being successful in these things, the
necessary legislation could bo poised
this winter, covering the preliminary
steps to the bond Issue and at the
spring election the matter could bo
submitted to the vote of the electors.
As an example of what can be ex
pected when tho crossing Is made a
part of a freight yard, the worrying
ones point to the long and frequent
blockades at the Scranton street cross
ing since the switches just to the
south of It were transformed Into a
yard for the making up of coal trains.
HE WANTED TO SEE DAVIS.
Tho Result Was That He Spent the.
Night in the Station House.
Eatly yesteiday morning a man en
tered the Centre stieet police station
and remarked- "I want to see Davis "
Sergeant Reese Jones, who is in charge
of the station, told the man that no
such party was there, at which the In
terrogator departed, to return shoitly
