DEATH OP DR. A. E. BURR.
Well Known Local Physician Died
Yesterday morning.
Dr. Andrew 13. Burr, for the last
forty years a practicing physician of
this city and Carbondale, died yester
day morning: at he Hahnemann hos
pital, where ho was a patient for tho
last two months. For tho last year he
has been a constant sufferer from acute
liver trouble, and this it was which
yesterday resulted In his death.
Dr. Burr was very well known
throughout the county, and he will be

and the grounds and club house will be

COMMON COUNCIL AND
THE MAYOR'S VETO
Action of That Body with Reference
to the Saul Case Will Be Await
ed with Interest.
Just what action common council is
going to take on 'Mayor Molr's veto
of the resolution providing for the pay
ment to ex-Patrolman Dyer and Saul
of their salaries from the time between
their removal and tho confirmation of
their removal by select council It is
hard to prophesy Just now. It is be
lieved, however, 'that the fourteen votes
necessary to pass It over the mayor's
head cannot be secured.
It Is generally admitted now that a
mistake was made in including Dyer
in the resolution, inasmuch as he nev
er made a direct claim for salary. Saul
was the only one who put in a claim,
the disposition of which was, of course,
to be a guide to Dyer. If Dyer should
put in a claim for salary before Thurs
day night's meeting the complexion of
things might be changed.
Should common council pass the res
olution over the mayor's veto it Is
reasonable to assume that claims for
salary from ex-Lieutenant Spellman
and ex-Patrolman Jones, whose re
movals have not yet been confirmed by
telect council, would be Immediately
forthcoming and that a similar resolu
tion providing for the settlement of
these claims would be Introduced and
passed. Spellman and Jones were re
moved on May 17 last, so that they
have already nearly five months pay
coming.
Mayor Molr's contention all along has
been that he has the right to remove
policemen without the consent of se
lect council and an appeal has been
taken to the supreme court from Judge
Archbald's ruling declaring that Saul
was entitled to salary until the date
of the confirmation of his removal. The
argument Is being used that no such
resolution as the one above mentioned
should be passed until it is found out
whether the city is obliged to pay the
ofllceis or not.
Select council cherishes Its right of
confirmation, however, as could easily
be seen last Thursday night when the
motion to pass the resolution over the
mayor's head was adopted with two
votes to spare. The action of common
council in this matter will be watched
with Interest.

HOPEFUL
OUTLOOK
Concluded from Page 1,)
The miners in this region want to
sec the strike settled. A vast number
of them think that the offer of ten
per cent, incrrnsc In wages and a
guarantee ot arbitration of any other
grievances they may present, con
sidered In connection with the twsl
tlve declaration of the operators that
this Is tlie limit ot their concession,
at least warrants the calling of a con
vention. There Is no gainsaying that
a very large number of miners arc
heartily in favor of ncceptlng tho of
fer, and that anothpr large number
believe It tho part of wisdom to take
this much rather than undergo tho
hardships of a long struggle to achieve
a little more possibly, nnd possibly a
little lesq or maybe nothing at all.
It's a General One.
President Mitchell's announcement
of the Imminence of tho convention
4
: what Mckinley
James A. Lansing, President of the Scranton Board of Trade,
and one of its soundest business, men, was asked last night to give a
few of the reasons why he thdught President McKinley should be re
elected next month. H said among other things :
"The reasons that exist today for the re-election of President
McKinley are precisely the same as those which existed four years
mm. Tho mnn who create and develon the industries of the country
aro all just as much opposed to the fallacies and wild theories of"Bry-
t anism as they were four years ago.
"I believe that the men who have gone back this year to the
-f support of Bryan, men such as Olney, Hill and Cochrane, hsve gone
back merely for the purpose of maintaining the party organization
in the hope of better things in the future when Bryan shall have
1 been killed finally. They are supporting him now in a negative sort
-f of way.
-f ''I haven't heard of a single business man in Northeastern
Pennsylvania who is afraid of the consequences of President McKin-
ley's re-election. In a local way we have not felt the benefits of
f McKinley's administration half as much as other sections of the
f country. Past history proves that this city feels the effects of a
" panic last of all, and as a matter of course, the effects of a reac-
tion also.
"There was a marked general improvement in local industrial
conditions during 1809 which has continued since.
"Every sane man knows what Bryan's election would mean to
t this city. It would mean the frightening off of all prospective indus-
tries and would cause the holding back of capital which, in the event
-f of McKinley's election, would be used to develop and build up our
local iudustries and employ labor."
call proves conclusively that he, at
least, considers that the operators' of
fer is a general one. It is certainly
such, as far as this region Is concerned.
Very few of the individual operators
of Scranton and vicinity have not
tacked up the notices, and those few
excuse their failure by saying It is
immaterial -whether they post the no
tices or not, as they and everyone else
knows the Individual operator must
grant the concession whether he will
or no. As E. L. Fuller tersely put It:
"We have no choice in the matter, ex
cept as between granting the conces
sion and closing our mines."
Tho Delaware and Hudson company,
ns was expected it would, fell Into linn
Saturday afternoon, when Superin
tendent Rose sent out the following
notice to be posted at all the com
pany's collieries:
This company makes the following announce
ment to its mine employes; proWdcd they re
turn to work within a reasonable time:
It will adjust its rates ot wages so as to
pay to its mine employes on and after Oct. 1,
a net increase of 10 per cent, on tho wages
heretofore receded; and will take up with its
mine employes, as heretofore, any grievances
which they may have. Powder will be sold to
miners for $1.50 per keg, and the difference
between this rate and tlie old rate of $2.75
shall be taken into account In adjusting the net
adance of 10 per rent, for this class ot labor.
C. O. Hose, Superintendent.
One of the very first of the Inde
pendent opeiators to post the notices
was the Connell Coal company. They
were being tncked on the company's
breakers early Saturday morning.
They rend as follows:
This company makes the following announce
ment to its mine employe:
It will adjust Its rate of wages so as to pay
to its mine employes on nnd alter Oct. 1, ami
until further notice, a net increase ot 10 per
cent, on the wages heretofore received and will
take up wltli Its mine employes any grlciancei
they may have.
Note U Is understood In the foreKoIng that
powder will he sold to millers for ?l.C0 per keg,
and that tho dllference between this rate and
the old rnto of 2.75 shall be taken Into ac
count In figuring the net aehance of the prlco
noted above for this class of work.
Tho Pennsylvania Coal company has
not yet posted notices of the offer,
but its president, W. V. S. Thorne, has
declared publicly that his company will
do whatever the others agree to do.

NOTES OF INTEREST
ABOUT THE STRIKE
A large mass meeting of strikers was
held in Providence on Robinson's field,
Saturdny afternoon, which was ad
dressed by Timothy D. Hayes, the
Democratic candidare tor the legisla
ture In the First district. The follow
ing resolution, introduced by Mr.
Hayes, was adopted: "Resolved, That
we advise our national president, and
it is our earnest prayer, that he will
not call or encourage1 the calling to
gether in convention of the miners of
the anthracite region until such time
as the employers make such proposi
tion as would warrant, nnd be a guar
antee for a basis for arriving at an
equitable and honorable settlement ot
the pending difficulties."
Organizer Fred Dllcher Is reported
111 tin tf In ale ton.
Nearly all the local unions have
called meetings for tonight, to arrange
for the parade.
Up in the Third ward a number ot
minors will not let their children go
to school because the coal being used
to heat tho building Is mined by non
union hands at the Clark tunnel.
"The Influence of the present strike
on the shipment of anthracite coal Is
plainly evident by the statement of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
printed in another column, as com
pared with the statement Issued tho
week before the strike went into ef
fct. The shipments that week of an
thracite were 81,100 tons, while tho
statement Issued yesterday show
shipments of only 21,928 tons. But
what this road loses In anthracite ton
nage it more than makes up in bitu
minous, us witness these figures:
"In the statement first referred to
350,080 tons of bituminous were shipped
over the company's lines, while yes
terday's statement shows a tonnago
of 40,619 of bituminous product. In
other words, there was a loss of 59,
17S tons of anthracite freight and a
gain of 120.G33 of bituminous, a net
gain of 01,355 tons, owing, of course,
to the strike in the anthracite regions
causing a remarkable liveliness In tho
bituminous fields. These figures show
that the strike Is a ijood thing for
the bituminous region und, Incidental
ly, for the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany, Wo do not hold that these fig
ures conclusively and permanently
prove this assertion; but this record
shows that the Pennsylvania company,
at least, Is hauling an enormous
amount of bituminous coal to some
markets, and the presumption Is most
natural that this product Is going
to tako the place of nnthrnclte,"

THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SPIRITUAL LIFE
THOUGHTFUL SERMON BY REV.
DR. ROGERS ISRAEL,
Spoke Last Night in St. Luke'B
Church Enlarged Upon the Idea
That It Requires a Spirtunl Ele
ment to Produce Spiritual Life and
Said That if Men Would Receive
the Spirit of God They Should Sim
ply Put Themselves In a Recep
tive Condition.
Rev. Rogers Israel, D. D,, rector of
St. Luke's Episcopal church, delivered
a most thoughtful sermon last night
on the proper means ot preparing the
soul for the proper and natural devel
opment of the spirit of Christ. He
took his text from the first epistle to
the Corinthians, xll:13.
"For by one Spirit nre we all bap
tized Into one body, whether we be
Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond
or free, and have been all made to
drink Into one Spirit." He spoke In
part as follows:
"By baptism, according to this scrlp
turel statement, we all -become mem
bers of one mystical body, the church
of Christ. There Is always a method
of telling whether a man Is a Christian
or not. No man can say truthfully
that he does not know whether ho is a
Christian. Any one who has been bap
tized in the name of the Lord Jesus Is
a Christian. He has been not only bap
tized, but he has become a member
of His body. He may not live as be
comes a Christian member of that
great body. If he dues not, so much
the worse for him. But his method
of living does not cut off his member
ship In the church,
WHY HE WAS CREATED.
"Man was created to be a spiritual
being. It you read the works of the
nnclent philosophers you will find them
permeated with the lelea of the spiritu
ality ot man. For ages before the com
ing of Christ you will discover that
these men were seeking and yearning
for thnt which is spiritual. They spoke
of demons nnd of other spirits, but
knowing nothing of the Spirit ot God.
Even the red man believed in a great
spirit with whom he would one
day live in the happy hunting
grounds.
"Study botany and biology and you
will find that each plant comes from
its own seed. The oak grows from the
acorn and the pine lrom the pins
cone. You couldn't grow an oak from
a pine cone nor vlca versa. The ele
phant produces only his kind and the
small Insect the same. With man, It
Is the same. Why? you ask. Be
cause It is a law. The teaching of
Scripture regarding (spiritual things Is
the same. It takes a spiritual ele
ment to produce spiritual life.
"You cannot plant Immoral princi
pals and develop spiritual things
The seed won't bring them forth be
cause It's Impossible. Where, then,
shall we turn for the spiritual seed?
We find it in the Christ life, which Is
the germ of spiritual life.'He that hath
the Son hath life, and he that hath
not the Sou hath not lite.' Human
life lb different than the plant lite,
and spiritual life Is different than the
human life.
MUST GIVE OBEDIENCE.
"It is not sufficient for us to look at
the life of Christ and ray we believe
It to be the perfect, the Ideal life. It
Is useless to follow this life unless obe
dience to Its teachings is followed
also. We must allow the Christ life
to be cultivated in Christ's own way.
What are the necessary conditions to
a cultivation of the spiritual life?
"We must give up our pride. We
must realize that we are helpless In
spiritual things. We must let Christ
work In us pimply putting ourselves
in a receptive condition. He who can
,not add one cubit to hi" stature, can
he hope to develope something that is
unseen? Let us Imitate Christ, but let
us not forget In imitating Him that
the most important tihng of all i3 the
Spirit that looks from those eyes and
that speaks from those lips.
"If wo once get the Spirt of Christ
to move In our natures In early life,
all things will come easy later on. We
shall then find no need of placing one
ftot carefully before thu other, if wa
would follow In the footsteps of Christ.
Let us try to conform ourselves to
Christ. In no other way can we be
come spiritual. In no other way enn
a man bo saved, for what Is salvation
but ihe bringing of our spirits into
harmony with the Spirit of God."

J For $5, $6, and $7
if Rockers, The offering
is so great that to give it
a truer ring we'll ex
v plain that these Rockers
are odds and ends from
factories, secured for our
August sale. No they
did not arrive too late
but we could not dispose
of all during that month,
so now you have another
chance. Polished Seats,
Cobbler Seats and Up
bolstered Spring Seats
are among them all
woods and fiuishes.
Credit You? Certainly
