TWO FAILURES YESTERDAY.
Store of Philadelphia Grocery Com
pany Closed by Sheriff.
The Scranton, AVIlkes-Barre, Ilazle
lon, Pittston nml Shenandoah branch
stores of the Philadelphia Cash Grocery
and Produce company, with headquar
ters In Philadelphia, were closed yes
terday by the sheriffs in the various
counties In which they are situated, on
foreign attachments secured by the
Traders' National bank and John T.
Porter, of this city.
The Scranton store is located at 203
N'orth Washington avenue, where it
was started upwards of six months
ngo, The amount of the assets and lia
bilities is not yet known. The failure
is not attributed to the coal strike, but
is understood to be the result of certain
transactions by one of the olllcers, the
exact nature of which are not known,
us yet. The company has a large num
ber of local creditors.
Another failure was reported yester
day from Olyphant. J. D. Kdwards,
who keeps a general store In that bor
ough, made a general assignment to
A. P. Duffy for the benefit of all credi
tors. The amount of his liabilities Is
not known.
"William II. I-ogan, local manager for
It. G. Dun & Company, in speaking
auout local trade conditions yesterday
uuernoon, saw:
"All business In this city and viclnltv
Its practically at a standstill nnd buth

QIRL ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Took Paris Green While Temporarily
Unbalanced "Mentally.
Another unsuccexstut attempt at sui
cide was made yesterday morning by
Mls.t Angellne Stone, of 413 Kynon
Rtifct, but her efforts were frustrated
In time to safe her life. This Is the
second time the girl has tried to do
nway with herself, and. from whut
could be learned, she Is subject to
hysteria, and whejn in this mood Is not
responsible for her actions. On several
orcnslons she has threatened to com
mit suicide.
She was around tho house ns usuat
during the morning hours and her
mother and sister noticed that the
girl appeared to be rather niPlnneholy.
AVIllle her sister was out of the house
at 11 o'clock making some purchases
from n farmer, Angellne procured some
paris green and mixed a spoonful of the
poison in a cup of water.
This she drank a few seconds befor"
her sister returned to the house, The
latter noticed something was wrong und
asked tho girl what she had done with
tho poison. Receiving no answer, her
suspicions were aroused and at that
moment the girl left the house.
She ran out Into the the back yard
and entered an out-house, locking tin1
door behind her. The sister followed
after her and succeeded In gaining an
entrance to the building. Several
neighbors were summoned nnd a quick
application of mustard and salt proved
an effective emetic.
Drs. Walker nnd MeOrath were sum
moned and applied the stomach pumps
nnd succeeded in relieving the girl, but
not before she had sunk Into uncon
sciousness. Dr. Walker last night pro
nounced her to be out of danger.
About a year ago a, man named Ste
phen Murtha, residing in the same
house, attempted suicide In tho same
out-house whero the girl sought refuge.
A short distance away on South Eighth
street young Cole recently attempted
suicide and Philip Freeborn ended his
life nt 711 Hampton street about two
months ago.

THE AMERICAN ART LEAGUE,
Trying to Enforce Collection of Debts
Peculiarly Contracted.
About two years ago a woman rep
resenting a concern called the Ameri
can Art League sold to a number of
Pcrantonlans n book represented to
contain superior reproductions in half
tone of many of the best American
paintings. The price of the book was
$12 payable In twelve monthly Instal
ments, and one representation made to
aid the sale was that' a course ot lec
tures on the work of American artists
was to be delivered In the city, to
which subscribers for the book would
be admitted free.
Only one lecture wns delivered, If It
could be called a lecture, and the book
upon delivery proved to be an Inferior
product cheaply printed and with many
ot the plates so smudgy as to be worth
less. At the time many subscribers
alleged breach of contract through
misrepresentation and refused to pay.
Duns were sent to them repeatedly with
threats of litigation and lately these
accounts have been placed in the hands
of a firm of local attorneys for collec
tion. The Tribune desires to hear from
those who are crlncerned In this matter
with a view to further Investigation.
SHOES DISTRIBUTED FREE.
Interesting Scene at Lewis, Ruddy,

were In peed of footwear.
The shoes were distributed through
the kindness of Miss Sibyl Wilbur, of

COMPANIES PREPARING
Concluded fiotn Pase 1 1
the foal continues to arrive and cause
concern to everybody; the Mine Work
era' nftlclals because they said It would
not come In; the miners, becnttse they
placed every reliance on this promise;
th! operators, becnttse 11 means en
croachments on their markets, and the
public at large, because of tho hurt
that these encroachments will do the
community.
No change occurred in the tie-up,
conditions remaining exactly the same
as on the previous day. The Dela
ware, Lncknwnnna and Western com
pany's quartette ot biff washerles nnd
the Columbus compnny's wnshery con
tinued to operate full handed, al
though at some ot them the company
olllclals were called upon to dolt their
coats nnd turn In to help nil out tho
quota necessary to run the places.
tluslnoss Is very dead, and some cs
tablishtnonts nro beginning to very
seriously feel the blight that follows
such genernl Idleness as now prevails.
So few are tho commercial men visit
ing this region that Hotel Jermyn,
which Is generaly crowded to the gar
ret with them, has som days only two
or three, and the day a half dozen ot
them register Is considered exceptional.
The lobby, which Is usually crowded
every evening, is now ns lonesome a
plnco as one would want to encounter
when in a sociable mood.
Thirteenth regiment men were kept
In a continued state of suspense yes
terday by the announcement that
Sheriff Harvey, of Luzerne, had made
a requisition for troops and that tho
Ninth nnd Thirteenth regiments would
bo picked upon to ,'oln their fellows
of the Third brigade in the lower dis
tricts. No word came from Hnrrls
burtr to relievo their anxiety, further
than a dispatch to the effect that Gov
ernor Stone would not honor Sheriff
Harvey's requisition until there was
more evidence of the necessity of addi
tional troops. Colonel Watres has his
men on waiting orders, nil the' camp
baggage is packed and leady for ship
ment, nnd inside of throe hours after
the blast furnace gong toots tho call
to arms, he can have his command
under way. Sheriff Harvey's call, ac
cording to yesterday's dispatches, had
the effect of dlscournglng strikers'
mnrches, nnd the probabilities are the
Thirteenth will be spared the unpleas
ant experience it hnd in 1S97, follow
ing the Lattimer trouble.

Superintendent Loomls said yester
day this does not mean that the men
are to consider themselves discharged
or anything of that kind. A large num
ber ot men were constantly coming In,
asking for their pay, and ns it could
be taken for granted that all would be
glad to get what was coming to them
Just as soon as possible, the company
decided to advance the pay day to the
earliest date on which the pay-rolls
could bo made ready.
The action of Superintendent Loomls
in dlrectlnir the accountants not to
take out the rental of company houses
from tho short wages of this month
was commented upon very generally
by the newspapers throughout the
county, yesterday, and one and all
characterized it as a very graceful act.
GOOD THING FOR
BITUMINOUS REGIONS
s
A prominent local operator said yes
terday anent Superintendent Loomls'
letter regarding the antagonism com
mercially of the anthracite and bitu
minous Interests:
"liltumlnous operators want to see
the strike continued long enough for
them to gain a firm foothold In anthra
cite markets, and when It Is terminated
they hope that the United Mine Work
ers will win a decisive victory. Since
this organization Insinuated Itself in
Western Pennsylvania the operators
there have been so badly hampered by
the union's Interferences that they have
not been ns free to compete against
anthracite as they would if they could
regulate their own affairs. Some of
them have been driven to the verge ot
abandoning their collieries and I dare
say if this anthracite strike had not
come to their rescue you would have
heard ere this of not a few of them
going out of business. The strike,
however, saved them, and, If the Mine
Workers' union can only get in here
and hamper the operators as It doea
those In the bituminous regions, the
latter will be nble, they figure, to hold
the new fields they are now gaining
and will continue to gain as long ns
the strike lasts,
"Tho bituminous operator stands to
win which ever way the strike goes,
for, if It fails, It means the dissolution
of the union, and their release from Its
thralldom. If Its succeeds, ns explained
Wednesday,
Sept. 26.
We will have a large ship
ment of
JERSEY PEACHES

before, the anthrnclie operators will
be hnndlcnppfd ns bad as they" are.
This strike Is a great thing for the
bituminous men nnd the more one
studies It the more he Is convinced that
there Is something very significant In
the fact that the men who came here
und instigated It and who now are sub
jecting our community to the most rig
orous hardships to win or, nt all events,
to prolong It, nre every one of them
from the bituminous region."
NOTES OF INTEREST
ABOUT THE STRIKE
.Sheriff Harvey Inst night telephoned
to Governor Stone to send troops to the
Ilazleton district, on the ground that
he could not guarantee the safety of
life or property during the progress cf
night marches on the port of strikers
through the region. The request was
backed up by a number of citizens,
whose names have not been given out.
Governor Stone has the matter under
careful consideration, but It Is not
likely that any action will be taken
until today. Further developments are
awaited by the state military author
ities. If tho troops are sent here by
the governor it Is probable that the
Ninth regiment, with headquarters nt
Wllkes-Harre, and tho Thirteenth,
whose headquarters are at Scranton,
will be selected. Doth have been in
structed to hold themselves In readi
ness. Cars are In waiting ready to
carry them anywhere In the anthra
cite coal fields. Cars are also stationed
at Shenandoah and, it necessary, will
be used In transporting soldiers to this
part ot the state. Sheriff Harvey was
completely tired out last night. He
had been out continuously for forty
eight hours, and It was stated at his
home that he would not be awakened
under an consideration. Ilazleton

The Upper Lehigh Coal company has
taken out the pumps front Nos, 3 and

there will be out of Jobs when work Is
resumed. The coal Is almost all mined
In both collieries, and the expense of
keeping out tho water Is so great that
the company concluded it would lie
cheaper to drown both slopes. Ilazle

LIGHTNING STRUCK
THREE BUILDINGS
St. Patrick's Orphanage and Two
Other Places Suffer Damage at
Midnight from Storm.
What was probably the last thun
der storm of the season occurred last
night at midnight and three places
were struck by lightning.
A bolt struck St. Patrick's Orphan
Asylum, on Jackson street, tearing
away a few bricks on the Jackson
treet side, but doing no other damage.
The children were thrown Into a panic,
but were quieted by the sisters In
charge, who assured them that every
thing was safe.
Lightning entered the hotel of
Charles Yoos, on South Main avenue,
by the electric wires and Ignited the
wall paper at the point where the
Insulation was burnjd off.
The blaze was easily extinguished
before any serious damage wus done.
At nbout the same time, lightning
struck the house of George Sharkey,
at 823 Alder street, occupied by him
self and Albert Knox. A portion of
the cornice on the front of the dwel
ling was shnttered und a slight blaze
was kindled, which was, however, ex
tinguished before the tire companies
arrived on the scene.
A GLORIOUS PIPE DREAM.
Was the Sensational Story of a Bat
tle in Old Forge.
A pitched battle was not fought on
the streets of Old Forge by a number
of Italians on Tuesday evening, as an
nounced In some of yesterday's papers.
Neither were three men shot, as
chronicled In one Journal. In fact, the
whole article from start to finish was
like Macbeth's visionary dagger, "a
false creation proceeding from an o'er
heated brain."
The facts regarding the Incident are
herewith printed. Gabriel Seriano, an
Italian about 19 years old, was sitting
on the porch ot Nicholas St. Julius' ho
tel In "Italy Green," between the Sib
ley mine und Rarbertown, on Tuesday
afternoon about .30 o'clock. In a Held
about 200 yards away two other young
men were practicing revolver shooting
at a target.
Seriano turned to go Into the hotel,
and, as he did so, a struy bullet from
the field struck him In the back below
the left shoulder. He was taken to his
home, where the wound, which Is not
dangerous, was dressed by Dr. J. J.
Timlin, who yesterday morning re
moved the bullet. It was at first
thought that the shooting was inten
tional, and the two young Italians who
were practicing were arrested. They
were released last night, however, the
injured young man's parents being
convinced that the afuli was entirely
accidental.
The above mentioned story of the af
fair as told In yesterday afternoon's
papers was beautifully written. It
told about twenty shots being fired and
had gory gore all over It. It was In
geniously figured out that the shoot
ing wus the result of a bitter feeling
engendered among the employes of tho
Jermyn mine during the strike nt those
collieries. The only thing the matter
with all these statements was that
they were absolutely untrue and manu
factured out of whole cloth,
A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Clarence Foster Tries to Give the Slip
to Officer Brewster.
Clarence Foster, a young colored boy,
was arrested yesterday morning by
Special Olllcer Brewster, who caught
him In the act of stealing a bicycle
lamp In Rolnnd's bicycle repair shop at
216 Penn avenue.
On the way to the central station the
boy slipped from his captor's grip on
Adams avenue, vaulted over u fence
and ran Into the Crystal laundry.
Brewster followed and recaptured him
and lodged him safely In police head
quarters u few minutes later. Mayor
Molr will give tho boy a hearing this
morning.
Tho boy has been arrested previously
for slmllur offenses.

BOULEVARD TO MEET
WIfH OPPOSITION
AN ANTAGONISTIC RESOLUTION
WILL BE INTRODUCED.
It Is Contended That the Purpose of
the Proposed Change from n Turn
pike Company to a Boulevard Com
pany Is to Escape the Condemna
tion Proceedings About to Be Com
menced City Solicitor to Be Direct
ed to Fight the Application for a
Charter.
A resolution will be Introduced In
councils tonight directing City Solici
tor Vosbttrg to adopt every legal
means to prevent the granting of a
boulevard charter to the company
which proposes to absorb the Ablng
ton Turnpike company.
This resolution Is to bo Introduced
because a number of the cotincllmen
believe that the turnpike company In
endeavoring to secure such a charter
Is merely attempting to offset the
condemnation proceedings about to bo
commenced.
Thp act of 1S95, which provides for
tho Incorporation ot boulevard com
panies contains n clause which Is in
effect that any such company when
once Incorporated, may lense a turn
pike or a portion of one from a turn
pike company, providing a majority of
the taxpayers of each company agree
to such a plan, and transform It into
a boulevard, which will not be subject
to condemnation proceedings.
It Is argued that the boulevard
company, If Incorporated, will merely
lease the Ablngton turnpike from the
turnpike company, thus continuing
the latter corporation In existence. As
the turnpike company would then bo
still existent, the contract existing be
tween It and the city providing for
the repairing of the road would as
a matter of course, be ulso existent
nnd the city would have no remedy,
as It has at present.
The act of assembly providing for
the Incorporation of turnpike com
panies provides for a means of con
demning the turnpikes controlled by
them.provldlng n certain number of
taxpayers petition court for such con
demnation. The act Incorporating
boulevard companies contnins no men
tion whatever of condemnation pro
ceedings nnd in the absence of such
mention, the boulevards controlled by
such boulevard companies could not
be condemned
Thus, argue those who are opposed
to the granting of a boulevard char
ter to the turnpike company, that cor
poration can have no other purpose
In view than the prevention ot a con
demnation of their road. There Is
hardly any question but that the reso
lution will be passed, Innsmuch as the
one directing the city solicitor to as
sist In condemnation proceedings
passed unanimously.
In ense the resolution Is adopted,
he will probably fight the case on its
merits, contending that there would bo
no change In the management of the
road and that the councils of the city
have expressed themselves In favor
ot having the road condemned.
The pay rolls of the turnpike com
pany for repairing part of the turn
pike will be brought before common
council tonight, the Joint auditing
committee having refused to consider
them. Inasmuch as they did not have
the approval of Street Commissioner
Thomas.
As was announced In The Tribune
a few days ago, the pay rolls for June
and July contuln the name of Common
Councilman H. K. Pnlne ns foreman
nt $3 a day. Since the announcement
of this fact appeared In The Tribune
a pay roll for August has been filed
with the street commissioner. This
contains tho name of Freeman Leach
as foreman.
