Tho Central Labor union yesterday decided to more energetically take up thn grlcvuncc ot tho theatrical em ployes and attempt to satisfactorily ad Just tho lattera' dlfHoulties with the Lyceum and Academy of Music. An attempt will be made by the executive committee to secure a conference with tho management ot tho theaters. A communication was received from the United Mlno Workers extending an Invitation to nil labor organiza tions to participate In Wednesday's big parade. This was accepted and re ferred to a committee on arrangements, consisting of O. II. Gothlcr, J, F. Hammos and F. 8. Sherman, who will Issue a call to all labor organizations to meet at the Central Labor union quartet on Wyoming avenue at 1.30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when they will be met by a band to lead them In the parade. The Glass Workers' union, of Hones dale, who, since last April, have been on strike against T. B. Clark & Com pany, presented a grievance at the meeting. They claim that In several Instances union men are harboring "scab" glass workers, boarding and lodging them and aiding them In vari ous ways. The Central Labor union decided to Investigate this and will endeavor to bring an end to this state of affairs. The glass workers were or ganized last December. The carpenters' unions have decided to circulate a petition among the busi ness men of the city asking for their signatures. The petition requests that. In order to bring to an end the present disagreement existing between tho car penters and builders, henceforth when any contractors or day work, either new or repair, be nllotcd, It be specified that none but union labor bo employed. Tho carpenters believe that if they dan secure sufllclcnt signatures to this an agreement will soon be arrived at. SCHOLARSHIPS IN DEMAND. Nearly All the Tribune's Contestants Were Working for Education. All the contestants In The Tribune's Educational Contest have now select ed their special rewards, and the re sult shows that nearly all were work ing for the scholarships. David V. Eirt ley, who came third, Just missed the two leading scholarships, but Is natur ally much pleased with the elegant piano, which will be delivered to his home today. Miss Mary Yeager took the course of musical instruction and both Eugene Boland and Oliver Calla han preferred the scholarship in the ' Scranton Business College to a $75 bi cycle. Miss Jennie Meyers, who was also anxious to secure the shorthand scholarship in this college, has dis posed of the $50 gold watch to good advantage and arranged to take the coure. This speaks well for the popu larity of the Scranton Business College and demonstrates that the young peo ple of our city and vicinity have laud able ambitions. David C. Spencer, of Bloom'sburg, worked hard to secure the scholarship in the Bloomsburg State Normal school, but was handicapped by being located at such a distance from Scranton. He took his defeat philosophically, however, and at once wrote a warm letter of congratulation to Arthur Kemmerer, of Factoryvllle, tho fortunate winner. Miss Grace Slm- rell, of Carbondale, preferred the last gold watch to tho camera, and was much pleased with her reward, as was also Harry Reese, who secured the latter. The following note has been received from Miss Simrcll: Carbondale, Pa., Oct. 3, 1900. Tribune Publishing Co., Scranton, Pa. Dear Sirs: Through the medium of your valu able paper allow me to express my thanks to the many friends who so generously" assisted me in the Scranton Tribune's recent contest. With best wishes for your continued success, I m, Sincerely yours, Grace Simrell. - DEATH OF HENRY COOK. Was Found Unconscious Below "Red Bridge" at Taylor. Henry Cook, a well known resident of Mlnooka, who was found uncon scious at the red bridge below Taylor about 6.30 o'clock Friday evening, ly ing between the tracks of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail road and the Jersey Central, died Sat urday morning. James Frealey, a car inspector of the Central railroad, found Mr. cook lying between the tracks un conscious with no apparent injuries ex cept a slight contusion on the head. Dr. J. J. Walsh, of South Scranton, was summoned, but In spite of his ef forts was unable to restore Cook to consciousness. Dr. Walsh gives as his theory for Mr. Cook's death that the latter, while walking along the tracks, was struck by an engine and heavily thrown, strik ing on his head. This caused concus sion of the brain and subsequent death. He scouts the idea of any foul play in the case. Deceased was 42 years of ago and married. Besides his widow and a large family, ho Is survived by his mother and the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. John Schofleld, Mrs. Patrick Connolly, Patrick Cook, of South Scranton, and Thomas Cook nf Lnllln. The funeral announcement will bo made later. Tho coroner has not done anything In the matter, not having as yet been notified of the death.

It Is the First Case on the List and an Effort Will Be Made to Oet the Court to Agree to Allow the Prose cution to Be Dropped Verdict in Favor of Jonas Long's Sons Re turned Saturday Alice Frey Dis charged from Custody. One of the most Important sessions of criminal court cvor convened since the birth of the county opens today. There are 477 cases on the list, and In cluded Among them ore all tho bribery, gambling and Illegal liquor selTngcifoi Instigated by tho Men's union nnd Municipal laaguc. Tho list Is headed by the celebrated Everhart case, In which Edwin E. Everhart Is charged with conspiracy to murder his father. It Is probable, how ever, that this case will not go to trial, as the young man's father Is dlsoosed to.droj) the prosecution If he can secure tho court's acquiescence. The prose cutor would not say yesterday whether or not It was truo he Intended to with draw ,the charge. The defendant says It Is true, and has ordered the jail authorities to have his clothes ready for him this morning. Even though, tho conspiracy case should . be quashed, young Everhart would yet find obstacles In his path to freedom. One of them Is a verdict of $1,000 awarded against him In the suit brought by Philip IUnsland for alien ating .Mrs. Rlngland's affections. An other is a $5,000 breach of promise suit instituted by Mrs. IUnsland. This latter suit may not be much ot a hindrance, as It has been attacked on the ground that the promise, if one was made, was made by a co-respondent In a divorce suit to tho respondent in the same suit, and under the law of Penn sylvania, it Is alleged, such a promise can not be made the basis of breach of promise proceedings. On Mrs. Rlns land's Dart It will be contended that the promise was made in Now York state and therefore Is not affected by the Pennsylvania law In question. A hearing- in the matter was hart Saturday, and a further hearing will be had this morning before a full bench. Joseph O'Brien and M. J. Martin, who with W. W. Baylor are attorneys for Dr. Everhart in the prosecution of tho conspiracy case, are conducting the attack on the breacp of promise suit. Mrs. Rlnsland, the plaintiff In the breach of promise suit, is represented by Vosburg & Dawson, who were at torneys for Philip Rlnsland In the divorce proceedings against Mrs. Rlns land and the trespass Droceedings against young Everhart for alienating Mrs. Rinsland's affections. Besides the Everhart case, the first week's list contains the Ames-Knapp adultery cases from Forest City, the "Yellow Kids" robbery cases, nnd a whole raft of speakeasy and Sunday liquor selling cases. The bribery cases are down for next week. President Judge R. W. Archbald, President Judge Cyrus Gordon, of Clearfield county, and President Judge Jonn Q. Love, of Centre county, will sit during the first week. In Favor of Jonas Long's Sons. The jury in the case of Charles Lieb. ensteln, of Chicago, against Jona Long's Sons, of this city, brought in a verdict on Saturday in favor of the defendants. Liebensteln was the first superintendent of the Long store and sued for salary which he claimed wa3 due him because the Long firm abro gated their contract with him. The defense was that no contract existed and that Liebensteln was dis charged because of Incapacity and of his uncivil treatment of the help. The jury, in addition to their verdict, an nounced that they had decided that no contract existed. The case occupied the attention of Judge Edwards all last week. Quickly Disposed of. A case tried beforo Judge Edwards on Saturday was very quickly disposed of. It was a suit brought by Joseph Bacharach, a wholesale grocer of New York, against J. O. Ackerman, of this city for $44.10, the amount of an unpaid cheese bill. The defense was that the cheese was strong and that some other goods had been shipped back to Bacharach to bal ance things. No evidence was offered to prove this and Judge Edwards di rected the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount of his claim. Verdict for Lumber Company. The jury in the case of D. F. Hollo peter against the Green Ridge Lumber company brought In a verdict In favor of the defendants on Saturday. Hollo peter sued for the value of several consignments of lumber. Alice Frey Discharged, Alice Frey, of Brooks street, who has been In the county jail since last May, was brought before Judge Kelly on Saturday on a writ of habeas cor pus procured by her nttorney, -H. S. Alworth. She was committed on tho charge of having concealed the death of an Illegitimate child born to her January, Several witnesses told of the birth ot the child and of Its death, hut, though they had heard from tho mother that Rlrhes real.honost-galned riches were never gotten together In a hnp-haszard manner; nor will they ever be.

Coroner Hobcrts testified to having In vestigated tho death of an Infant whoso body was found In the Lncknwannn river it few weeks after tho birth of the Frey girl's child, but ho knew noth ing that would Incrlmlnntc her. Judge Kelly decided that there was nothing to warrant the girl's deten tion nnd ordered her discharged. No Use for Third Husband. Susan Schoen, of Price street, has filed an application for a dlvorco from her third husband, Simon Schoen. They were married last February by Alder man Howe. She Is CI years old and he C6.

At this point the party were able to see the character of the water shed of the company. Mile after mile of mountain land, utterly devoid of human habitation met tho eye. No cultivated land and no cattle could be seen. There was no sign of any possible contamina tion of the wnter supply, and the members of both boards of health ex pressed themselves as highly pleased with the success attending the com pany' work in protecting its watershed from contamination. The boards ex amined the pumping station that pumps water from the artesian wells and from Spring Brook for ithe sup ply of Taylor and parts of Scranton. The water from the wells was ex amined, as well as the arrangements for conveying it to the points of con sumption. The party then proceeded to the grounds of the superintendent of the watersheds, where lunch was served, after which Professor Dean, of tho company's laboratory at Wllkes-Barre, explained the system used by the com pany to keep Its water pure and its watersheds free from contamination.

Jewish Holiday Corresponding to the National Thanksgiving Is Now Being Generally Observed by He brew Residents of tho City Ser vices at the Linden Street Syna-' goguo Last Night Were In Charge of Revorand Anspacb, a Graduate of tho Hebrew Union College. Last evening the celebration nnd ob servance of another holiday, very Im portant to every Jewish citizen of the city, "Succoth" or the Feast of Booths, occurred. It Is a merry, happy holi day, corresponding to tho great na tional Thanksgiving, and having In deed been originated by the ancient Hebrews In much the same spirit that characterizes the Mrth of tho great American day of thanks. It Is the harvest feast, and continues during a period of eight days, ot which only tho first and last arc generally observed. The more devout and ortho dox Hebrews celebrate the festival by erecting a. small booth, which Is be decked with the fruits of the season nnd which Is Intended as a memento of the days spent in the wilderness bv the forefathers of the race, when they dwelt a half nomadic life, under can vas. The Linden street synagogue was thronced last evening at 8 o'clock, when services were begun by Rev. An spacb. The latter Is acting as minis ter, on probation, and Is a recent graduate of the Hebrew Union college, at Cincinnati, O. He conducted last night's services In a very able manner, nnd his sermon on "The Jewish Messianic Age" created a most favorable Impression. Tho synagogue was appropi lately decorated in honor of the festival, the pulpit being surrounded by a circle of palms and potted plants, and In front of the altar there being neaped a bank of fruits and vegetables symbolical of the harvest season. Almost everything from the homely pumpkin to autumnal fruits were in evidence, and en masse gave the scene the proper aroma and appearance. In the course of his sermon, Rev. An spach said: Among those grand conceptions and lofty ideals that have at one time or another moved men to action, none has been so potent as that of a. Messianic Utopia. Wheicver man was oppressed and despotism ruled; whenever some great aspi ration failed, theic have men raised the vision of some new Utopia and followed with blind enthusiasm some newly inspired leader. Neither the memory of former hopes shattered nor nf earlier piomUcd uiiiuinilcd has cer deterred mankind from awaiting a newer rescue fruin double, a surer salvation from pain. Scarcely has one ideal failed of realization before another grand Utopia arises, Phoenix like from the ashes of the old disappointment, once mole to stir the heart to lenewed endeavor. Alirost every age has produced a dreamer of such Utopias ami glicn to mankind one ol those world spirit that has stilvcn for a higher good, and has directed men towards the search o: light and tiuth. Israel has enriched huT.anlty with a whole ncble company of them. Seers who knew the needs of the hour and searched men's hcails to implant their diinc message? therein. Prophets who came as God's apostles to plead with the bearts of men. And among the prophet of the soul, Jcienilah stands pre-eminent. And why hae all previous Utopias failed? Simply because the great .Jewish demand for righteousness was licking, as a basic considera tion; righteousness that Buds its justification in the nature ol (iod; that publishes its message to mankind In the startling worcl: "W shall be holy o en as I the Lord jour Cod am holy," Xnl Israel's mission is far from completed, Firft he must force a recognition of God's unity upon the woildj then must the Jew, by living the great moral idea of righteousness, bring that as his mission to the world; his ideal, his Mes sianic dream. l'nr surely all of the Utopians, all the pictured golden ages, pale befoie their divinely Inspired conception of Jeremiah, expressed in n few simple woids, epresse of a Mini ot tender ncis, sp.'kcn not to the head but to the heart cf the great surging world. It yet transcends each ami every one of them. Plato's "Repub lic" jiclds lo it without a contest. Dante's "De Monarclila," ami St. Augustine's "City of God" sink into insignificance beside it; Morc's Utopia becomes a mere ploy of the fancy, and the socialism is almost contra human nature. All of them aro secondary to the Jewish Utopia offc-vfl us by our piophot. For It deals with the righteousness, not the "rights" of man. How different is the Messianic age of Jerc midh! How all superior aril comprehensive! How genuinely Jewish and possible! This is the only Utopia practical enough to stand the test of rcalily. This grand Jewish Ideal still remaining human in all Its grandeui, never transcending the limits ol sanity, aspiring thiough lighteousness. and sanctity to God and from God to 6antlty and righteousness. This is the Utopia which the Hebrew proph ets stand for; the day when "righteousness shall flow llko a perennial stream," This Is their Judaism and must he our Judaism, for it calls out to us across the span of years "that treas ures of wickedness profit not, but lighteousness alone saves from death." It assures in again that truly Israel's mission may be peace. But only that peace which comes in tho wake of virtue and the tialn ot rlglitcoitoiiess. Not a vague and vapid aim, but a definite moral end, greater than Chiistlan humility, purer than Mohammedan heaven, grander than nieicy. Peace, tho peato of righteousness, the peace of justice, the ever lasting peace nf God, the Hebrew shol.im, pres ages ns a condition of Jeremiah's promise. Services will be resumed this morn ing. WONDERFUL LAKES. Variety of Medicinal Bodies of Water in This Country. From Household Words.

Near Uaku, the center of the Rus sian petroleum trade, thero aro to be found vast natural reservoirs of crude oil, formed by the overllow from the wells. When tho drill taps the un dersround springs tho oil rushes ou with such frightful velocity as to flooi tho surrounding country for a consld erable distance, and tho terribly in flammable stuff settles In every de pression. The application of a torch to ono of these petroleum lakes woult1 cause a fearful explosion, and tlioli continued presence Is a menace to th community. At ono of the towns In the Punjuu' there are Mtunted a number of smal lakes, reputed to contain largo sums o' money. There Is a fair held annualb at this town In tho month of February and It is tho custom of tho pilgrims Ins'tend of giving their money offering, direct to tho priests, to bury them In the mud of the lakes, wljero they take their sacred annual bath. Tho poor priests have to enter the water after ward and recover all they cart by jrt op ing and diving In a most uudlgnliliHl fashion.
