MINE WORKERS' CONFERENCE.
Commltteo of Printers Will Offer
Some Suggestions.
The ndjourned conference of the rep
resentatives of the United Mine Work
ers of Americo will be held In Guern
sey hall on Washington avenue today
to receive the reply of tho various mlno
operators to tho second request for a
conference made a week ngo.
It Is quite unlikely that any of the
operators will meet with them, al
though communications from Fomo are
expected. They may, however, expect
to bo visited by a commltteo from tin
Scranton Typographical union, Messrs.
I'. G. Moran, John Morgan nnd Isaac
Harris, who were recently appointed
to confer with the miners In reference
to tho boycott which another Sunday
paper alleges has been declared against
tho Sunday Fieo Press.
The printers ure opposed to tho boy
cott ns It effects the interest of organ
ized labor nfllllated with the Miners'
unions. The Free Press is a union of
fice and always has been, nnd has been
a staunch supporter of trades unions,
and to place a boycott against the pa
per is n serious mistake In view of ex
isting conditions.
Tho Typographical union want the
miners nnd other unions to confer with
them before declaring any boycotts
against union newspaper ofllccs.
HAD A HIGH POSITION.
Painter Whipple Works Calmly at a
Dizzy Height.
An Interested crowd of spectators
gathered on Washington avenue nt
tho court house square yesterday af
ternoon and watched a man who wits
calmly perched at the very summit of
the high ling polo, on the- Hoard of
Trade building, engaged in gilding the
ball nnd painting tho pole.
He was Lyman Whipple, of Whipple
Rros., roofers, of Nay Aug avenue,
nnd despite the lofty altitude at which
ho was working and his insecure bt-at,
he seemd as cool and unconcerned as
though lying on a feather bed In an
Ice house. i
Tho pole Itrelf is 6." feet high, and
tho entire distance from the gilded
ball on Its top to 'the ground Is one
hundred nnd eighty-five feet.
Whipple, climbed up tho polo by aid
of spurs and onco at tho top of it,
perched himself on a. painter's seat,
he had brought with him and non
chalantly pursued his duties.

Rut Mr. Grampt did not return In

turning. Furthermore his tailoring outfit dis
appeared with him and besides n few
fixtures of the place nothing Is left

THREE MATTERS OF
VITAL IMPORTANCE
DISCUSSED AT LENGTH BY
PRESIDENT TRUESDALE.
Lackawanna Company Will Not Con
tribute to the Viaduct Unless the
Crossing la Completely Blocked.
United Mine Workers in the Com
pany's Employ Will Be Met as
Employes if They Havo Grievances
to Present General Superinten
dent Russell Will Not Resign.
President W. II. Trucsdnle, of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, who Is In tho city;
was Interviewed by a Tribune man
yesterday and fully expressed himself
regarding the three leading questions
which at present agitato the citizens
of Scranton, tho oillclals ot tho com
pany and tho miners of tho nnthraclto
coal region, namely, the West Lacka
wanna avenue viaduct, the alleged re
tirement of Gencrnl Superintendent 1".
G. Russell and the apparent unroot
among the employes of tho various
collieries operated by tho company.
In substance he said tho company
will not contribute anything to the via
duct fund unless the crossing Is en
tirely abolished, and In tho event of
the city building a structure that will
close the street entirely they will con
tribute their share, nnd possibly more,
to the expenses Incurred. In reference
to tho retirement of Superlntendert
Russell, Mr. Truesdale said there was
absolutely no truth In the rumor, and
as regards tho minors the oillclals arc
ever ready and willing to meet the men
as employes of tho company.
Mr. Truesdale was In consultation
with Chief Engineer Warner In the
lattcr's oillco when Jho reporter met
him, nnd willingly granted The Tri
bune man nn Interview. The subject
of the West Lackawanna avenue via
duct was the first brought to his at
tention nnd he confessed knowing very
little about tho project. Tho action of
councils relative to the proposition was
explained to him and the query made
ns to what tho company proposed to
do in the matter.
WAS SHOWN THll SKETCH.
Before committing himself, President
Truesdale was shown the sketch of
the premises In tho vicinity of West
Lackawanna avenue and the railroad
crossing and Mr. Warner furnlsht-rl
him with a copy of the viaduct ordin
ance as printed and advertised for tho
people to vote on at tho February
election and explained to him tho loca
tion of the proposed structure and how
It would cross tho company's tracks.
After studying them carefully ho
gave the Information that tho company
would not consider the proposed plans
at all and when asked for his reasons
In refusing to recognize the city's pro
posal to build a viaduct on the south
side of tho street, said:
"What benefit would be derive from
a structure that would not close up
the crossing entirely.' We would sim
ply bo contributing to a fund for build
ing a viaduct that would permit the
street railway company to cross our
tracks uninterrupted and allow a cer
tain percentage of the traveling public
to avoid tho dangers of a grade cross
ing. If the crossing Is abolished en
tirely we will do our share and pos
sibly more towards the erection of
viaduct at that point.
Mr. Truesdale was much Impressed
with tho proposition to build a viaduct
over the West Lackawanna avenue
crossing, hut was very emphatic in his
declaration regarding the closing of the
crossing entirely. Tho company, he
said, want tho opening abolished and
the gates abandoned, so that It will
not bo necessary to delay the trains
and Interfere with tho switching ar
rangements nt the freight station re
cently built near the crossing.
AS TO SUPT. RUSSELL.
In reference to the rumor regarding
Superintendent Russell's retirement
anil the presence in New York th's
week of all the divisions superinten
dents of the road, Mr. Truesdale sail
that there was absolutely no founda
tion for tho former statement, and the
only significance attached to the visit
ot his associates was the usual month
ly consultation, which Is held to fur
ther tho Interests of the company.
"Mr. Russell's services are entirely
satisfactory," the president said, nnd
iu answer to a question ns to whether
tho other officials aro In favor with
him, added that they need have no
cause for alarm. Ho also stated that
his visit to this city at this time had
no particular significance, although he
spent the entire day in consultation
with the various heads of departments
located at the Lackawanna avenue sta
tion. "What do you think about the action
of tho representatives of the United
Mine Workers In demanding n con
sultation In reference to alleged griev
ances and the continued unrest appar
ent among the miners of the anthra
cite region?" asked tho reporter.
"I understand that the United Mlno
Workers havo sent petition? to tho
various operators asking them for a
conference, but I see no necessity for
our meeting them. Wo havo no griev
ances to settle with our employes; wo
are disposed to meet them squarely
nnd fairly and adjust whatever dif
ferences thnt may aiis?."
UNITED MINE WORKERS.
"Will you recognize the United Mlno
Workers of America as an organlza-

other places. Some call it fancy El
gin, others fancy Creamery, but none
of them dare call it butter. If you
want Oleo buy it but if .you want
butter we have it good and cheap.
E. Q. Coursen,
489 Lackawanna, A venue
tlon?" was tho next question asked
the president.
"Now that Is n pretty hard question
to answer, young man," said Mr.
Truesdale; "wo will recognize the
mombetn of tho United Mine Workers
ns employes of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company, and
trent them ns such."
"What In your opinion Is tho cause
cf tho apparent unrest among the mi
ners employed by tho company?" was
asked.
"I believe It Is due to the agitation
by outside Influences and not .to any
thing pertnlnlng to the company's
management."
"Do you think there Is any trouble
likely to arise In view ot tho fact that
tho operators will not confer with the
representatives of tho Mlno Workers
Union?" ho was asked.
"That Is hard to tell," said Mr.
Truesdale, "but I hope not. Thcro
ought not be nny moro trouble In set
tling whatever grievances that might
arise with tho miners than there has
been with tho member ot the differ
ent brotherhoods."
During Mr. Trunsdalt's slay In the
city, ho was In conference with Luther
Keller, Frank Carluccl, Superintendent
E. K. I.oomls, Station Master Peter
McC'ann and others, and will leave thU
morning for New York.
Superintendent Russell was In the
city Tuesday nleht, and wont to Buf
falo yesterday motnlng.
Superintendent Salsbury, who has
been In New York for several days will
return today.
President Clarke nnd General Man
ager Sllllman. of tho Scranton Hall
way company, visited tho West Lacka

looked over the ground ot tho proposed
viaduct.

offer of $350,0110 for the erection of an

Mr. Albright, although born In Vir
ginia Is always claimed as a Scranton
man since his parents moved hero
when ho was but three years old.
After tho death of his father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Albright,
It was proposed by their children to

pioneers of Scranton in tho shape of a
public library. The plot of ground at
the eastern corner of Washington nvo
nue and Vine street was given by the
sisters and upon this fine site Mr. Al
bright constructed tho beautiful build
ing which Is a pride and delight to tho
city. Tho gift cost Mr. Albright $122,
C00 and was truly a most magnificent
memorial and a benefaction to tho
people of this city for all time.
A fine portrait of Mr. Albright,
painted by t'hartrnn, of Paris, adorns
the reading room of tho library and is
also a memorial of one of Scranton's
most honored citl?.ens, the lato Wil
liam T. Smith, whoso gift It was.
Tho following taken from the Buffalo
Enquirer tells of the latest evidence
of his philanthropic spirit:
J. J, Albright Is fast gninlng fame as a
Philanthropist. A short tlmo ago ho pre-M-ntcd
JM.OOu worth of rare palms to tho
city, ami now he has offered to build a
marble art gallery In Delaware park, at
a cost of $:VW,W0. All Mr. Albright asks
Is that tho city give a site In tho park
sultablo for the building.
When tho offer was made known at
yesterday's meeting of tho curators of
tho Buffalo Fino Arts academy. It camo
as a surprise nnd created no end of com
ment among tho members.
After tho meeting was called to order
by T. Guilford Smith In tho Uuffnlo club,
tl.o president surprised the members pres
ent by stating the object of the meetng
was to consider the matter of a perma
nent homo for tho academy. Ho then

ing lu tin park, near the flagstaff to tho
left of th main entranco ns ono ap
proaches tho Park lake. Mr. Albright
said tho building should be constructed
of white marblo and should bo remote
fir.m other buildings for all time.
Tho second condition Imposed by Mr.
Albright Is that the maintenance fund
of tho academy bo Increased so tho In
stitution will havo an nmplo fund. Im
mediately following tho reading of tho
letter, President Smith appointed Carl
ton Sprnguo and John II. Cowing a com
mittee to draft a letter of thanks. Tho
letter was tnken from the rough draft
and transcilbcd on an Immenso sheet of
paper. Then every ono of tho curators
present affixed his slguaturo to It. It was
then sent to Mr. Albright.
K. R. Green, of Green & Wicks, is tho
architect for tho new building. Ho slid
the building would bo erected before tho
opening of the Pan-American exposition.
Georgo P. Sawyer, C. B. Marshall and

FATAL MISTAKE OF
TRACK LABORERS
TWO KILLED AND BIX INJURED
IN A TUNNEL.
Oang of Lackawanna Section Hen
Thought an Approaching Train
Going North on the North
Bound Track, But It was a South
Bound Train Backing Up and
Dashed Into the Men, Who Had
Sought the South Bound Track for
Safety All Lived in Oxford.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning
two men were killed, and several badly
Injured In the Oxford tunnel on tho
Lnekawnna road, as the result of train
No. fill backing Into the midst of a
group of section hands, who were at
work on tho track.
Doctors Leet and Kennedy of tho
Moses Taylor hospital went to Ox
ford In the morning anil returned
about 8 o'clock yesterday evening with
two of tho Injured men, Joseph Smith
and Peter Burns.
The full list of the killed and In
jured are:
LOUIS DALIiKRG, instantly killed.
ANDREW KILPATRICK, instantly killed.
The Injured are:
Peter Burns, foot crushed.
Andrew Ilasho, slightly hurt.
Oscar Johnson, slightly hurt.
Joseph Michael, he crushed; recovery
doubtful.
Joseph Smith, slightly hurt.
Patrick Hotian, slightly hurt.
Smith, who Is n, Polander, and a
young man had his back and hips
strained, but Is not very severely In
lured. Burns Is about seventy years of ago
and was severely Injured. His left
foot was so badly crushed that It had
to be amputated at Oxford, and both
hones of his left forearm were frac
tured. Of the other men, none were badly
enough Injured to bring to the hospi
tal except one, Michael, who was too
much Injured to move, and whoso
death was expected any moment. His1
right leg which hnd been frightfully
crushed was amputated near the hip
and ho was otherwise severely hurt.
The bodies of the two men killed,
Dalherg and Kllpatrlck, were badly
mangled.
The accident happened ns follows:
Train No. 611, a wild cat nnd double
header In charge ot Conductor O'Mal
ley, had divided Its train, nnd after
leaving part of it on one side of tho
tunnel, bad pulled the other part to
Port Morris, which route took It
through tho Oxford tunnel.
Tho first part was left at Port Mor
ris nnd a return was then being made
for the second part.
The engine backed along tho same
track It had followed, on Its forward
trip. A section gang at work on tho
track heard the engine coming, and
tried to got out of the way.
In the dark they attempted to get
out of danger and stepped onto th
track on which tho engine was ap
proaching. Tho engine, ran Into ths
crowd of men, with tho results ns told
above.
Tho men, who all lived In Oxford,
were immediately taken to their
homes, and afforded local medical
treatment. Tho accident, while a ter
rible one, seems to have been un
avoidable nnd tho responsibility for It
can not be placed on any one In par
ticular. WILKES-BAREE MINERS STRIKE
Employs of Baltimore Tunnel No. 3
Quit Work.
About 300 employes of Baltimore tun
nel No. 3, Wllkcs-Barre, struck yes
terday because of tho failure ot tho
Delaware and Hudson oillclals to re
dress their grievances.
They sent a committee to Superin
tendent Rose two weeks ngo to de
mand an increase of 13 cents a car and
a decrease of dockage, giving him un
til yesterdny to grant the demand.
The demand was) not granted and all
the men went out.
Tho men claim that the rate of 7C
cents a car, which they are receiving,
is tho lowest paid In that Immediate
territory nnd the dockage, they say,
Is outrageously excessive.
