A certain business Interest has been developing In this city during tho prist few years to a degree scarcely realized by tho majority of our townspeople who have witnessed the growth with out being aware of its magnitude. What Is now tho Qrlflln Art com pany started nt the corner of Lacka wanna and Wyoming avenues with two persons constituting the force. To day forty people are employed In vari ous capacities connected with the many departments of the expanding enterprise. It has been a healthy growth, not withstanding the fact that but thirteen years have passed since C. t. Grlflln opened a photograph gallery over what was then Courtrlght's shoo store. In 1S90 he had so shown his ability and had secured such a class of patrons that Charles Schluger thought It n good Investment to construct a build ing adapted to the needs of the young photographer, and the handsome set of studios occupying three lloors were planned nt 133 Wyoming nvenue. His continued efforts, fastidiously kept rooms, nttracted still greater patronage, and In 1S95 they bo- came too small for tho pros pective advantages to be nttalned and Mr. Grlflln purchased tho Hart & Ottlnger Art store at 209 Wyoming avenue, the place still occupied by his establishment. It was tho llrst experi ment In this city with an operating room on the ground floor, where spe cial rooms were built and where pa trons found every convenience and comfort without climbing stairs. It made a great hit, and the place was soon thronged. It was most attractive, with luxurious nnd costly furnishings, and with beautiful art rooms, whore hours could be spent in looking over the fine array of etchings, water colors, photographs of famous subjects, brio-a-brca, etc. Prom time to time exhibi tions of celebrated collections were held and these at once became popu lar. Hut tho magnificent work done by Mr. Grlflln was the chief feature of tho establishment. Ills photog raphs achieved far more than local renown and were reproduced In maga zines and favorably commented upon by undisputed authorities. Both ho and his brother, G. Taylor Grlflln, of Wllkes-Barre, made a constant study of up-to-date methods, endeavoring to approach perfection In their line of work. That they have been recog nized as being at the top is evinced by the great prominence of both men in the State nnd National Photographers' associations, where they have held prominent ofllces and have received many awards In exhibitions. The beautiful results obtnlned by Mr. Grlflln In his carbonette effects and later in the platlnotype and other noted styles arc well remembered. So great had the business becomo that In June of 1S98 Mr. Griilln decid ed to give scope to further Investiga tion and possibilities by enlarging the plant, and therefrom a stock company was formed, in which several of the most prominent and Influential citizens of Scranton took an interest. Since that time It has been known as the Grlflln Art company, chartered for the purpose of placing on the market cer tain art productions original with Mr. Grlflln, and Including water colors and copies of tho old masters. Mr. G. Tay lor Grlflln, of Wilkes-Jlarre, was in duced to combine his own wide experi ence and Interests with the project and devote his entire time to It, while other persons of special fitness were also engaged. The establishment Is now the larg est of the kind In the country, and In cludes not only the building at 209 Wyoming avenue, but also the adjoin ing structure, 205 and 207, where sev eral floors are occupied by the art de partment, where the manufacture and placing on the market of exclu sive works are conducted by a. process which is the result of Mr. Grlflln's own experiments, portrait work of the value and beauty of etchings has been added to the various branches of art carried on In tho establishment. Much of the reproduction in water colors and sepia Is prepared for the wholesale trade. Among the recent results of laboratory experiments the company has secured a marvelous success in the way of an exquisite effect of etching on Japanese paper. It is termed a grav ure and is in tho soft sepia effects. This Is accomplished in portrait work and is simply dazzling In beauty. Tho growth of the business enables tho Company to make nn offer to the public which, wore it not for the large manufacturing Interests connected with it, by no means could be done. It Is proposed to give a dozen of the best made new platlnettcs, exact coun terparts In appearance of the costly platlnotypes, for the nominal price of $3.50 together with a water color minia ture In a gold frame of French design. The platlnette in its rich, soft coloring is exclusively a discovery of this es tablishment and cannot be produced elsewhere. The studios have been re modeled and furnished waiting rooms are arranged for tho use of visitors, who are invited to come in and inspect at their leisure. They are a delightful place for an hour's rest and afford an opportunity for the study of many fine works of art. The platinottes can be seen In tho show windows, together with the water color miniatures and gold frame. A fine collection of the new gravures aro also there on exhibition. FALSE PRETENSES. A. A. Stanton Charged with This Offense by Helen G. Hartley. A. A, Stanton was arrested yester day on a warrant Issued by Alderman Howe, nt the Instance of Helen O. Hartley, who charges him with false pretenses. She manages the business of D. H. Tolman, who lends money on salaries.

" MINE WORKERS FAVOR A STRIKE MAY TIE UP ALL OF DELAWARE AND HUDSON COLLIERIES. Employes of tho Mines at North Scranton and Olyphant Held n Meeting Last Night in Leonard's Hall, at Which It Was Decided to Present n Wago Scale to tho Com pany and If It Is Rejected to Strike on Thursday They Hope to See Strike Grow. A strike which mny tie up all tria Delaware and Hudson mines from Vandllng to Plymouth was ordered laHt night by the mine workers who at tended a meeting of the runners and drivers of tho North Scranton and Olyphant mines of the company, held In Leonard's hall, North Scranton. If such a strike should occur, upwards fo 17,000 mine workers employed nt twenty-eight mines would bo thrown out of work, Tho runners and drivers present, by a unanimous vote, decided to uult work tomorrow morning at the rIck Eon, Mnrvlne, Von Storch and Leg gett's Creek mines in this city If the company does not agree to their de mands today. The drivers and run ners at tho Grassy Island and No. 2 mines arc already out on strike, so that if tho company does not give In this will mean the closing down of six mines In this vicinity tomorrow. Tho trouble dates back over alt weeks since the former strike of tho drivers and runners nt the Marvine mine. At that time the strikers main tained that when they received their Juno wages, the following cuts were made without any previous notice: First class drivers, from $1.25 to 1.05: runners from $1.51 to 31.40. COMMITTER NAMED. The runners and drivers at the Mar vine mine went out first at that time, but they wore quickly followed by those employed at the other three mines In North Scranton. Meetings were held nnd a commutes was ap pointed to wait upon Superintendent Hose. The latter official was out of town and tho committee accordingly waited upon General Inside superintendent Flnlay Ross. Mr. Hoss, it is said.slgned an agreement providing that no driver boy was to bo paid less than $1.0j, there having been some who had previously received only 97 rents, and that run ners wore to receive $1.51, and first class drivers $1.25, as heretofore. It was stated last night by several of those In attendance at the meeting that when Mr. Hoss signed this agree ment he stated that he was acting under Instructions In doing so. The strikers accordingly returned to work In nil of tho four mines and havo been working ever since. It is claimed that when they opened their envelopes containing their June pay, the early part of this month, they found that the cut had been made as before, and that none of the promises contained In the agreement signed by Mr. Hoss, had been fulfilled. A committee which waited upon Su perintendent Hose were Informed, so they state, that he had not authorized Mr. Hoss to sign any agreement and thot the men would have to be con tent with the cut for tho present. STRUCK LAST WEEK. In tho meantime, runners, door boys and rail sanders at the Grassy Island and No. 2 mines In Olyphant went out on strike last week. They demanded that the runners' pay be In creased from $1.38 to $1.45 a day and that first class drivers bo paid $1.26 per day, ns heretofore, the company having cut their wages down to $1.12. The North Scranton drivers and run ners Invited the Olyphant strikers to Join with them and the middle of last week it was Jointly decided to pro sent a new wnge scale to the company for Its consideration. This wage scale provided for an Increase In the pay instead of simply a demand that they bo paid what they previously re ceived. It provides for an Increase in the pay of runnners for $1.51 to $1.61 a day; nn Increase for first class drivers from $1.25 to $1.33; an Increase for second class dt Ivors from 97 cents and $1.05 to $1.15; an Increase for door boys from 50 cents to 80 cents n day. This wago scale was placed In the hands of a committee, which waited upon Superintendent licse on Thurs day last. Mr. Rose Informed the men. It was stated last night, that he didn't favor the new scale, but that he would give thm a definite answer sometime In the near future. The men nnd boys waited until last night nnd then decided to go on strike tomorrow morning, If their demands aro not acceded to by then. If they do go on strike it will mean the throw ing out of employment at once of about 3,500 men nnd boys employed at the six mines In North Scranton and Oly phant. There are about 800 runners, drivers and door boys In these six mines. WILL VISIT OTHER MINES. It was stated last night after the meeting that If the strike comes off tomorrow, that deputations would be sent at once to all of tho Delaware and Hudson mines, both up and down the valley, to get the runners and driv ers In thoso mines to make a similar demand and go out nlso. It was an nounced after last night's meeting that By drinking the famous "Delatour" Extra Lernou So da, Ginger Ale and Savsapar illa. It's nourishing, bright and sparkling; put up in pint bottles. We sell all the popular summer drinks at the lowest prices, by the bottle, dozen or barrel. E. G. COURSEN COOL there was every reason to believe that the men at the other collieries would Join In the movement. A committee will wait upon Super intendent Hose today to notify him of tho action taken last night. RUMOR Or A DROWNING. Story Was Detailed but Likely ft Fake. From some source that could not be discovered a story was given circula tion last night that a colored boy named Neumls, of Scranton street, had met death by drowning In the Elmhurst reservoir. The story had it that the body was recovered and placed on a Lackawanna cabooso to be brought to Scranton. The boy's relatives wore Informed of tho rumor nnd were sorely distressed. They waited In painful anxiety for the body or definite news of tho accident, but neither came. Two of tho Nouml boys were away from home, and this added color to the story. At an eapy hour this morning nothing hud devel oped to confirm the rumor. It was said that the Neumls family learned lato at night that the two boys were seen early In the night on a coal train headed for Kingston. Nothing was known of the affair nt the Lackawanna station and inquiries by telegraph brought the answer that no drowning was known of nt Elm hurst. THE NEWSBOY'S PICNIC.

A MILITARY CASE. Ex-Captain Forney Charged with Larceny by Bailee. Military matters were aired yester day before Alderman W. S. Millar, who Is ft military man himself. The case was all about a cap, an overcoat, a lino otllcor's sword nnd a mess tent. Captain J. T. Duffy, of Company K, Eighth regiment, stationed at St. Clair, Schuylkill county, came to town yes terday morning, accompanied by At torney John Dyson, of Pottsvllle, who Is also a captain. They secured a war rant for the arrest of G. E. Forney, a clerk In a local wholesale house, but who was formerly captain of Com pany K, charging him with larceny by bailee of the above-mentioned articles, Forney was arrested and given a hearing. lie contended In his defense that the company was In debt to him and that he was merely holding tho cap, overcoat and sword until he is paid. He claimed that he himself bought the mess tent and showed a re ceipt for $9 which he paid the officials at the state arsenal for It. Captain Duffy claimed that the re ceipt was made out In Forney's namo because he was captain of" the com pany, and that tho citizens of tho town purchased it. It appears that Forney sold the mess tent to Captain W. A. Raub, of Company L, this city, so a search warrant was procured and the tent brought Into court. Forney was held in $500 ball, and furnished on additional bond of $200 for the production of the cap, over coat and sword. Captain Raub gave a bond for the tent and will thus be allowed to retain possession of It for the present. POOR DIRECTORS' VISIT. Six Members of Board Inspected Hillside Home Yesterday.

On Account of the Largo Amount of Brass That Was Being Stolon the Railroad Companies Hereabouts Somo Time Ago Pooled Their In terests Investigations of Detec tives Showed That the Railroads Wero Being Robbed in ft Sys tematic Manner Other Arrests to jj ollow. Railroad detectives stationed at WIIkes-Harro, Wllllamsport, Elmlra nnd Rochester have Just succeeded in running down a gang that havo been systematically robbing the railroads for nearly two years past. Within tho last year large quantities of brass, valued nt thousands of dollars, have been Btolen from the Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Delaware and Hudson, Lackawanna nnd Central Railroad of New Jersey. Last March the detectives In the em ploy of these roads held a conference and It was agreed to make a concerted effort to run down tho thieves. Chief of Detectives Verne, of the Pennsyl vania railroad, stationed at 'Wllllams port, had charge of tho case. It was not long before he discovered that large shipments of the stolen brass were bolng made from Wllkes-Harre. Detective Hefferon, of Wllkes-Barre, wan notified and he watched the move ments of the shippers. It was then discovered that a great deal of tho stolen brass was being sent to Roches ter, N. Y. The party to whom the goods were consigned to In that city was taken Into the conlldence of the detectives and this caused the shippers to fall into a neat trap. SENT TO WILLIAMSPORT. The stolen brass, Instead of going to its destination was shipped to Wll llamsport, where It wns taken charsre of by the Pennsylvania railroad offi cials. The shippers, however, wore none the wiser. They received their money Just the same. To throw off suspicion a couple of shipments wero allowed to go through to their destina tion, the detectives having learned that some brakemen were acting as spot ters for the shippers. Yesterday orders were Issued bv tho detectives in charge of tho case to make the first nrrest. Accordingly John Fisher, a well known Junk denier of WIlkes-Harre, was taken Into cus tody. Ho was arraigned befor Mag istrate Pollock for a preliminary hear ing. Ball In tho sum of $10,500 was demanded for a further hearing on Monday. The ball was furnished. Last evening there were two more orrtsts. Anthony Stelner nnd Samuel Stelner, Junk dealers of Wllkos-Barro, were given a hearing before Magistrate Pollock. They were charged with lar ceny and receiving stolen goods. Both wcra held In $900 ball for trial. OTER ARRESTS. More arrests are exepected to fol low In Wllllamsport, Elmlra and Ro chester. Tho detectives are positive that they have succeeded In breaking up the gang of Jobbers who dealt In stolen brass. It Is alleged that the jobbers bought at a very low (figure and sold to wholesale dealers at a big profit. It Js said that one of the parties who was a heavy shipper of tho stolen brats had made a confession which exposes the whole plot organized to rob tho railway companies. SUIT AGAINST PITTSTON. Rev.

As one reads the denunciations of milltarlm In this country he naturally inquires It those who denounce are sincere In their ih flared be lief, or If they have ncvir re id the history of their country. The penple uf the I'lilted Slates, like all other people, enjoy few privileges and possess few lands whicli they have not fought for. It Is easy to enumerate the things which have been won by our might. It i more dif ficult to Imagine what we would have been without any appeal to anus. It Is pretty cer tain that instead of being n nation wo should have been a vassal state, surrounded, within perhaps 200 miles of tho Atlantic toast, by sec tions of French and Spanish duplies. We should have become a servile, long suffering people, the foot ball of circumstance and the spoil of various conquerors. Our mission would havo been to pay tribute to shod our blood m the wars of other nations, and to be hewers of wood nnd drawers of water, cut oft from evirv pursuit but the tilling of the soil. We should have had the wc.iknrw of China in our Inibllitv to assert our rights before the world, without China's strength of numbers. If we had nut fought for ourselves wo w mid have been com pelled to fight for our misters. In fact mili tarism has made us all we are today. Murderous Indian Kills Five People. Montreal, July 24.
