Michael McMuhon, of Olvphant, was
causht between the bumpers of two
cats oji tho Delaware, Lackawanna
nnd Western railroad, near Strouds
burg, eaily yesterday morning nnd ic
colvcd lnjurins which-, resulted in his
death yesterday afternoon nt the Lack

during the morning.
McMuhon wus employed In an Oly

His left leg was badly mangled, and
was amputated at the hospital. He also
sustained a terrible shock by the acci

TO AGAIN ATTACK
REPAIR CONTRACT
Effort to Have It Annulled Will Bo
Renewed Before the Court on
Monday Morning.
An effort Is to be made to annul the
contract entered Into between the city
and the Barber Asphalt company for
the repair of the city streets, now that
testimony has been adduced at the
eouncllmanlc bribery hearings to ptove
that money was used to secure its
passage.
This fact was announced to a Trib
une reporter yesterday nftemoon by
Attorney Cornelius Comegys. Mr.
Comegys will appear before the full
bench on Monday morning and ask
for a re-openlng of the proceedings
brought by William Fnrrell, If. Camp
bell and others for the annulment of
the contract.
It will be remembered that after tho
contract bad been signed by Mayor
Italley in March, lo99, the above
mentioned persons filed a bill In equity
through Attorney Comegys attacking
it. There were two grounds taken In
this attack. One was that the city
had no right to enter Into a ten-year
contiact and the other was the alle
gation that tho contract had been
secured by tho corrupt use of money.
Tho first ground was purely and
simply a question of law, but the alle
gation of the corrupt use of money
raised an is.sue of fact, 'flip city de
murred to tho bill and when it came
up for argument it was deemed expe
dient. In older to secure a speedy de
cision, to withdraw the allegation of
fraud and leave remaining just a
question of low.
This was done and In an opinion
handed down by court, based, of
course, on the purely legal points
lalsed, it was declared that tho city
had a perfect right to enter Into a
ten-year contract and that according
ly the contract was legal.
"At the time when we withdrew the
allegation of fraud," said Mr. Come
gys yesterday, "we had no direct evi
dence on which to base such a charge.
Wo have now, thanks to the Men's
union, and I am going into court on
Monday, to ask for a to-hearing on tho
question of fact which we dropped
before, basing my request upon the
lecent disclosures In Alderman Ful
ler's ofllco."
Mr. Comegys appealed before Judge
Aichbald on Tuesday to ask for the
ro-hearlng, but the latter said that
he would prefer not to hear the request
alone, and desired that Mr. Comegys
appear before the full bench on Mon
day morning.

TEN PER CENT.
NOT ENOUGH
(Concluded from 1'jrc 1.1
wna asked by tho committee which
waited on Mr. Loomls. The Lacka
wanna miners were given to under
stand by tho notices that If they did
not return to woik yesterday they
couid not take advantage of tho offer.
Not a man returned to woik.
Whether or not the operators will
adopt a new plan or drop tho peace
negotiations nnd fight It out to a finish,
an was first determined, Is now the
nll-absorblng question?. The local coal
men say thev know nothing of whnt
tho powern-that-bb have In contempla
tion. A Now York dispatch of yester
day has It that the presidents of the
coal roads ate considering tho expedi
ency of recognizing the union nnd en
tering upon direct negotiations with
Mitchell nnd his fellow-officers, but
tho local operators laugh at the Idea.
"Whatever concessions may be made."
said ono of them, "you can rest as
sured recognition of the union will not
bo among them."
Would Fall In Line.
President W. V. S. Thome, of the
Pennsylvania Coal company, Is cred
ited in a New York dlnpatch, with a
statement tox the effect that miners
must accept what has been offered
or nothing nt all. His company hns
not posted notices of the offer, he said,
but supposed It would fall In line If
the ntrlkets accept the offer from any
other company.
Mr. Thorne further suld: "I wlll(tell
one thing, and that Is there will be
no more concessions on our part after
tho ten per cent, offer and I doubt
If any company will go higher than
that figure. At that we will expect
tho railroads to make freight conces
sions to us -which will, In a measure
at least, make up our Iofs.
"If the strikers demand more than
thK there will be a fight, and It will
bo a fight to the finish."
No companies or Individual operators
were yesterday added to the notice
posting minority. Tho Delaware and
Hudson and Pennsylvania companies
still stand out with the Individual op
erators against figuring In the proffer.
The Tribune had nn Interview by
1nng distance 'phone, yesterday, with
E. L. Fuller, one of the individual oper
ators' committee which went to New
York to secuie belter freight rates
from the coal-earrylng presidents. Mr.
Fuller said nothing definite could be
announced yet, but hy tomorrow he
expected theie would bo some news of
one kind or another.
Dilcher to tho Strikers.
Tho folowing address to the strikers
was issued last night by Organizer
Dilcher:
To the Miners and Mine Laborers of District No.
1. Cireeting:
Your determined stand foday against an ar-
anged plan to put Mime of Hie collierhs in this
dKtiiet in operation is a fitting icbuke to the
sdicuHS of the supeiintendents tu draw ou away
from the fight joh are making for jour honor and
the honor of om families.
You have foiled them in their schemes; you
hive made stronger than ever to the public,
which sympathizes with jou in the justice of jour
c.uiie, levealing as it does that jou stand as onu
mm in the defeme of jour organization.
'I lie whole country has its ejes upon jou todaj-,
and in breathless suspense awaited the renewed
declaration of jour purpose.
You hive most emphatically pioclaimed it and
jour national olllcers turn with pride to the
icit of jour co-vvoikers and tell them anew of
jour 7eal and jour deteimination to secure for
jourselves and jour fuuilhs a better share of the
wealth that jour labor produces.
1'ic-ident Mitchell and the national board are
proud of the integrity which the men of the
l'lrjit elLstiict show; they aio proud of jou be
caiiso jour firmness of purpose is the lock upon
which all jour fcllow-woikcra in tho entile an
thiacitc region are auehoiing their hopes and
becoming one with jou.
Keep nn with the brave struggle for justice
and light. Maintain the standatd of character
which makes jour course one in common with all
the people; do nothing that would bring re
pioich upon jou; hold fast to the esteem and
tho sjmpathj- of the people and of the press;
follow Mrictlj- all the oideis which come fiom
jour olHceis, and leive idle rumois to explode
themselves, and the victorj- now in sight will be
all the mole precious to jou when fully won.
Prepare jourselves for the big parade and de
immolation in Scianton next Wednesday nftci
noon, Oct. 10, 1900, at 2 o'clock, when 1'iesident
Mltiliell and otheis of the national leaders will be
with us here. Let jour foiccs turn out in many
tliou-ands, and show once again the unity of ths
purpose and Hie strength of our organization
the United Mine Workirs of America.
Yonis in the cause of Justice.
Tied Dilcher,
National Committeeman United Mine Workers of
America.
Scranton, l'a,, Oct. 4, 1000.
A meeting of all the officers of the
local unions of the United Mine Work
ers is to be held at 2.15 o'clock this
afternoon at district headquarters, !215
Lackawanna avenue, to make arrange
ments for next Wednesday's parade.
The extent to which soft' coal Is be
ing used In this city was evidenced yes
terday, when the density of the atmos
phere caused It to hover close to the
earth. The central city and Lacka
wanna avenue, particularly, were re
dolent of Its oily smoke the whole day
long.
What It Would Mean.
The Hazleton Sentinel has been do
Inrj some figuring on what a ten per
cent, increase of tho miners wages
would mean, and Its deductions are
presented as follows:
Has a n body here figured out Jut what it will
mean to this community if there is granted a 10
per cent. Increase in inimr's wages?
It will in the first place mean that the miners
will Invo more money to bpend with the mer
chants and provide themselves mora liberally with
all tho comforts of life. It will help cverjbody.
In Hazleton, for cwiy ono of us more or less
depends upon tho pationige of tho mine worker.
Now as to Hie extent to which It will swell the
receipts of tills region. It has been estimated

nnd wc have l,000,00i) a jcar ol additional money
which will (low throuah the channels ot trade
In the roil regions. Tint will mean a tremen
dous Increase In limine". The fall trade may be
n little belated, but It Will come in much grratii
volume.
There are two sources from which the money
Io pay thin Increase of wages, which will bring
prosperity to llalcton nnd the whole coal regions
may come. Partly from the profits ol tho cor
porations nnd more largely from an Increased
price to the consumer. The Increase nceel not be
hrge. rMlniAllnjr that the total production of
coal for (his jcar will be f.0,00t),000 tons an ad
vance of 10 icnls n Ion on tills outfit would
bring a revenue of $S,000,000 or more than $I0V
000 more than the estimated Increase ot wages
to the men.
I'.very companv has lis allotment of coal lomlne
for the jcar. There Is money in the mining nnd
transportation of coil nnd every company will
lie eager to make It. Kick of them will mine
Its full allotment of coal if the mines have to
work overtime and the breaker has to be lighted

m
RAID OF THB PLACES
GOES MERRILY ON
Four Moro Arrests Made and Two of
the Accused Given Hearings and
Fined by the Mayor.
"Down with the speakeasies," con
tinues to be Mayor Molr's battle cry,
and four morq arrests were yesterday
made of proprietors of Illegal liquor
establishments, and two of them were
given hearings, while the others will
be heard today.
Patrick Cawloy, of 807 Alder street,
was fined $25, as was alro Mrs. Thom
as Ralney, of 21 Archbdld street. Mrs.
George, who dwells at the corner of
Eynon street and Eighth street, iwlll
be given a hearing this morning, und
the case of an Italian speakeasy
keeper, living at SSI Mooslo street, will
also be heard.
Cawley was given a hearing during
the afternoon. When asked whether
he was guilty or not guilty, he re
plied: "Oh, I'm not guilty. I've only
sold a little corn beer nnd soft beer."
"Well, we have men here who say
different," responded the mayor, and
one of the witnesses stepping for
ward, calmly descilbed the interior of
the Cawley domicile, and after giving
a minute and detailed description of
tho place, said that he had drunk beer
theie.
"Oh," said Mr. Cawley nt this, his
backbone weakening perceptibly,
"maybe I did sell the bye some beer.
Ye don't need to call any more wit
nesses," and he then very amiably
paid his fine and the costs.
Mrs. ltainey is the wife of Thomas
Ralney, who only three weeks ago
was committed to the county jail on
his refusal to pay the fine Imposed
for keeping a speakeasy.
Two witnesses testified to drinking
beer in the place, and Mrs. Ralney
was exceedingly wroth at them, burst
ing out with the following remarks:
"Ye are only a couple of black-hearted
scoundrels and ought to be ashamed,
to try to put a poor woman In jail."
She further said, this time address
ing his honor: "If yo'll only wait a
week, till me man gets out of Jail, I'll
go up me'self."
' As the mayor was undeslrous of
waiting, however, Mrs. Ralney paid the
fine.
A peculiar thing about one of the
speakeasy keepers arrested Is that
when the constable who served the
warrant entered the place he found
an agent for a brewing company col
lecting a $150 bill, whllo In a rear room
sat seveial men drinking beer. Yet
the proprietor was exceedingly In
dignant when the warrant was served,
and loudly asserted that the estab
lishment was no speakeasy.
LECTURE ON SAVIOUR'S LIFE.
Rev. W. Robert Goss, of Jersey City,
Gave Illustrated Address.
Rev. W. Robert Goss, of Jersey City,
last night gave an Illuminated lecture
on the life of the Savior at the Scran
ton Uie.vcle club hall, under the aus
pices of the Rescue mission. The lat
ter at the conclusion of the lecture
withdrew their support. Rev. Goss will,
however, repeat the lecture tonight,
and Is confident that this time the
evening will pass without any hitch.
The dlfllculty last night was in prop
erly focusing his moving picture ap
paiatus and it was only towards the
end of the entertainment that tills was
satisfactorily adjusted. Tonight, how
ever, Rev. Goss declares that this diffi
culty will be entirely done away with.
The entertainment was of a very In
teresting nature. It dealt with the life
of the Savior, and was illustrated by
sacred pictures and with moving pic
tures of the great Oberammergau Pas
sion Play. Several scenes in the life
of Christ such ns the raising from the
dead of Lazarus, the entry Into Jerusa
lem, tho Lord's Supper, the trial be
fore Pilate, were very well portrayed.
Sacred musical -selections were also
played.
FOUR SMALL BOYS ARRESTED.
They Are Accused of Molesting and
Annoying John Downey.
John Downey, an uged man living
near No. 2 school, In South Scranton,
figured as prosecutor against four
small boys last night In Alderman
Howe's court. Tho lads were accused
by Downey of throwing stones at his
houso nnd continually tormenting
him.
Tho small defendants wore Lewis
Wenzel, James Downey, a grandson of
tho prosecutor; a small boy named
Coleman, and Walter Ryan.
Downey told that tho boys have a
habit of Insulting him and that on
one occasion recently, one of them
threw a stone through his window,
which struck Mrs. Downey In tho head
and inflicted a serious cut.
Alderman Howe sovetely reprimand
ed the boys and held them in $100 ball
to keep tho peace. Their fathers
quailed as their bondsmen.
MANAGER REED ARRESTED,

W. L. Reed, manager of the Battel
Brewing company at Edwaidsvllle, Lu
zerne county, was arrested yesterday

RECRUITS FOR THE
MARINE SERVICE
FOUR SOBANTON YOUNG MEN
ENTER THAT BRANCH.
Corporal Farrell, Who Has Charge
of the Local Recruiting Station,
Says There Scorns to Be a Very
Hazy Idea Hereabouts About the
Marine Arm of the Service He
Served In the Philippines with the
Fourteenth Infantry and Saw
Plenty of Active Service.
"Business Is looking up nt this Rta
tlon," remarked Corporal Joseph Par
rel!,, of the United States marine re
cruiting bureau yesterday, and open
ing his tecord book, he showed the
names of four recruits sent from
Scruntoti last Tuesday.
They are: Will LlewelynV Jones, of
34 South Main avenue; Frank Louis
Brink. 212 Spruce street; John Herbert
Clifford, 914 Plttston avenue; Thomas
Francis Mahon, Avoca. The first three
named were all members of the state
guard.
Corporal Farrell expects that men
will' be coming In In greater numbers
now that Captain Wolfe and his uldes,
who have been conducting a. United
States army recruiting Btatlon here,
have left town. They left for Phila
delphia Wednesday morning, nnd tho
marines have a clear field before them.
"I believe." said Corporal Farrell
yesterday, "that people around here
are pretty hazy regarding the exact
naturp of a marine's duties, and In
fnct, regarding the entire marine ser
vice'. In reality, It Is the most desir
able branch of government life. I
served In the Fourteenth regulars be
fore I joined the marines, and there
Is no comparison between the lives
ot tho soldier and the marine. The
latter's duties on ship board are sim
ply acting as escort and guard. There
Is no menial work at all, and no ma
rines are expected to know anything
about snllorlng. Then on land, there
Is a sort of garrison duty, at Wash
ington, Boston, Brooklyn, San Fran
cisco, Annapolis, Norfolk and League
island, near Philadelphia.
ARE WELL DRESSED.
"The marine Is thefjest-dresscd man
wearing a uniform. The service re
quires a large number of varieties ot
dress and undress suit!', and I have
known marines who possessed wavd
lobe, the size of which would compare
favoiably with many a society lead
er's. "Withal, the corps Is by no means
made up of dandified men, and the
marines have done good service in
Cuba, the Philippines and China. Still,
we do not have to suffer anything like
tho privations the soldiers do, even
in campaign, ns we sleep on bonrd our
ships, and have rations which are
feasts for the gods compared with
what men In the regulars are some
times forced to receive.
"All the recruits enlisted here are
sent to League Island, where they
are 'drilled and whipped Into shape,
and after six months of service, they
can ask to be transferred to any
quarter where the corps Is at work."
As has been mentioned before in
these columns, Corporal Farrell has
onlv a few months worn the marine
uniform and formeily was sergeant in
the Fourteenth regulars, one of the
first regiments to see service In the
Philippines.
During his stay In the islands, his
regiment was constantly engaged in
fighting and pursuing the amiable
Aguinaldo, and his warriors, and Cor
poral Ferrell saw enough of the Fili
pino character to give him a very
small-sized opinion of our newly-acquired
fellow-countrymen.
THE FILIPINO.
He said yesterday, regarding them:
"One phase of their character which
strongly impressed itself upon me wtw
their extreme avarlclousness and
eagerness after wealth. They were
constantly in pursuit of the great
,ptmerlcan dollar, whllo any Ameri
