ins the decrease in powder a part of
the increase In wages is impracticable.
1o this the operators make answer to
this effect: "That's none of your bus
iness; all that you are called upon to
concern yourself about is that you get
it, and ito Is very simple for you to fig
ure out how much you would have
made under the old basis, which you
have had twenty-live years to become
familiar with, and having figured it
out add ten cents to each dollar and see
if the result doesn't correspond with
the money you receive from the pay
car."
A very plain presentation of how the
miner and laborer both share in the
ten per cent, increase was given to a
Tribune teporter by an operator yes
terday. The minor had been earning
$100 net, paying his laborer $40, or
about one-third of the gross earnings.
0,'ho ten per cent, advance increased the
miner's net .earnings to $110. The la
borer demanded an increase of ten per
cent, and the miner consequently had
to give him 1544 Instead of $40 as pre
viously. This left the miner $8B out of
Ills $110. Sixty-six dollars is t-en per
cent, more than $60.
Increase Figured Out.

PARADE OF
THEFIREMEIN
DEMONSTRATION WILL TAKE
PLACE WEDNESDAY.
Procession Will Bo Smnller Than In
Other Years Only the Companies
of tho City Department Will Be In
Line Line of March Over Which
It Will Pass Decided Upon by Chief
Zizelmann Inspection of Appa
ratus to Take Placo After the Pa
radeLife Saving Exhibition.
This year's lb emeu's prmirti' will take
place next Wednesday afternoon, with
the members of tho sixteen local com
panies In line, as there will bu no rep
resentation of out-of-town lire organ
izations.
The procession will be much smaller
than In former yearn, ns the sentiment
of tho firemen Is far from unanimous
In favor of a parade, and In addition
the majority of this vein's expenses
must bo footed bv the firemen them
selves, on accoiftit of the stnullness of
the appropriation for a pnrade. Two
hundred dollars was the sum set nsldo
for tho purpose, but during Chief
Walker's leglnie inroads' wore ma Jo
Into this for other purposes, and when
Chief Zlzi'lmann took charge tho fund
hud assumed rather diminutive propor
tions. Up to this your tlio city lias always
furnished the music for the parade, but
so fnr nothing has been done, and the
majority of the companies have secured
bands at their own expense.
LINE OP MARCH.
However, between four hundred and
four hundred and fifty men are ex
pected to parade, beside the police who
arc to head the piocession. The lino of
march has been now at ranged and as
given out last night by Chief Zizel
mann is as follows: Form on Wash
ington avenue. Pioceed down Wash
ington avenue to Spruce stiect, then to
Wyoming avenue, to Linden street, to
Franklin avenue, to Lackawanna ave
nue, to Eighth street; countermarch up
Lackawanna avenue to Adnms, to
Olive street, to Washington avenue,
down Washington to reviewing stand.
Tho parade will be reviewed at the
city building. It will start promptly at
2 o'clock. The police force, with
Bauer's band, will bo In the van, and
close behind will come Chief Zizelmann
with his assistant chiefs. Two car
riages will follow, in which will be
seated Mayor James Moir, City Con
troller Esdras Howell, City Tieasurer
Edward Robinson and City Solicitor A.
A. Vosburg. The companies will be in
lino as follows: Franklins, Nay Augs,
Liberties.Crystals, Xcptunes, Niagaras,
Reliefs, Phoenix, Columbia?, Eagles
General Phlnneys, Excelsiors, Hook
and Ladder, William Connell Hose
company, Centurys, Cumberland.
The William Connell Hose comuany
will be preceded by Lawrence's band,
the Centuries by the Patriotic Order
Sons of America Drum coips, the Nep
tunes by Ringgold's band, and the
Franklins probably by Stenner's band,
of West Scranton.
INSPECTION OF APPARATUS.
All of the companies' engines, carts
and general apparatus will be given a
general inspection after the iparade. It
was at first intended to have the dif
ferent engines, race, and have various
tests of speed, but Chief Zizelmann has
put his foot down on this as tending to
incite an unwholesome livalry in the
companies, and as also being injurious
to the horses and apparatus.
The Life-Saving corps of the Will
lam Connell Hose company, of South
Scianton, will give an exhibition of
their mode of work, on one of the large
central city buildings. It was at first
arranged that they use the Republican
building, but the Lackawanna Tele
phone company, which occupies tho
fourth floor of the building, objected to
having its windows removed for the
day, and therefoio another edifice will
have to be seemed. The windows must
be removed, as false sills are put in,
so that the framework will not bo
damaged during tho exhibition.
The Raub building has been offeied
to the corps to give an exhibition upon,
and will probably be used.
All of tho companies aie preparing
for the parade, and several of the en
gines and hose carts have already gone
through a eon: so of rebuilding and
renovation.

DIPPRE HAD A VERY
THRILLING ESCAPE
Pell Into an Ash Pit and Was About
to Be Covered with Hot Ashes
When Discovered.
Charles DIppre, of South Scranton,
a machinist at the Dickson Locomotive
works on ClITf street, had a narroy es
cape from being buried alive Thuisday
night, and although he hns n broken
leg ns the result of his accident, he
considers himself extremely lucky that
he escaped a terrible death. He fell
into the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad company's new ash
pit on Cliff street, and while lying there
just escaped being burled under hot
ashes emptied fiom one of the Lacka
wanna engines.
Dlppere left the shops about S o'clock
to walk to his home. If was very dark
and when on Cllif street, near the
round house he suddenly tripped and
loll Into the ush pit, which was but
recently dug.
He fell several feet and bioke his leg
In so doing. He suffered intense pain,
and was lying in the pit In a semi-conscious
stare AVhen lie Avas brought to a
sudden awakening and consciousness
by seeing the blight headlight of an
engine above his perilous testing place,
and hearing' men's voices. He gave a
loud, piercing ciy and the engineer then
discovcied him. He Avas raised from
tho pit and the Lackawanna hospital
notified. An instant later and the
mass of heated cinders Avould haA-e
fallen upon and buried him.
The ambulance responded, but DIp
pre, at his 0AV11 request, Avas removed
to his home.

DENIAL MADE

While He Was on the Stand.

the Story About the Letter Re
ceived from Harris and What Orler
Said His Intentions with Reference
to It Were Councilman Coyne Suf
fered a Severe Cross-Examlnatlon
nt the Hands of Attorney New
comb Will Make an Effort to
Havo Case Go to the Jury Today.
A consldciable amount of testimony
for the defense was heard yesterday
In the case of the commonwealth
against James J. Orler. In the morn
ing, Judge H. M. Ed wauls decided to
admit the testimony over which there
ivas so much argument Thursday af
ternoon and after court opened yes
tcrday morning. T'he examination of
the defendant Avas then resumed and
concluded, and the testimony of Com
mon Councllmen E. J. Coleman and
P. F. Calpin and Select Councilman
T. J. Coyne aa-us also heard. They all
denied the facts that Detective Har
ris testified to when on the stand.
An effort -will be made to get the
case to the jury today, but it is not
likely to be successful, as the de
fense has a number of witnesses yet
to call. Juror C. C. Williams, Avho
Avas. taken ill Thursday, Avas able to
go into court yesterday morning.
Argument on the admission of .the
statement it Avas sought to give Giier
an opportunity to tell about wus re
sumed AVhen court opened in tho
morning. Mr. Newcomb made the
principnl argument for the prosecu
tion and quoted a number of authori
ties, having more or less bearing on
the case under consideration, to shoAV
that Grier could not be permitted to
testily to the statements he made to
others prior to receiving the money
from Harris. Judge EdAvards, how
ever, was of the opinion that the tes
timony Avas admissable and so ruled.
GRIER EXAMINED.
Tho examination of Grier Avas re
sumed by his attorney, Mr. Horn, and
he testified substantially to the same
set of facts outlined in the offer made
Thursday afternoon, Avhen the court
Avas asked to admit tho testimony
Grier said that he told P. F. Calpin
of the receipt of the letter on the next
day after It reached him and shOAved
the letter to Calpin, John Loftus,
William Lynett, C. W. SIcKlnney and
E. J. Coleman in Loftus & Melvln's
drug store a short time later on the
same day. He told them he Avas go
ing to aee Harri3 and if Harris of
fered him money, as ho suspected he
would, he Avas going to have him ar
rested. He told them to Avait uAvhile
and he Avould let them knovtlie le
sult of his visit to Hniris.
He Avent up to Harris' room and
the latter gave him two $0 bills,
Avhich he took back to the drug store
and shoAved to tho men he had been
talking Avith. He then took tha
money to his attorney, M. A. Mc
Ginley, and deposited it Avith him.
He also told Mr. McGlnley that he
understood II. T. FelloAvs and T. J.
Coyne had also boon offered money,
and Mr. McGinley told him to bring
them to his office and then thay
would proceed to have Harris ar
rested. He did not haA-o an opportu
nity to see these men and Harris, for
that reason, was not arrested. Grier
denied positlA-ely that he received tho
$1,400, or that any money other than
tho $40 ever passed Into his hands
from Harris.
MONEY HE DEPOSITED.
On cross examination, at the hands
of Mr. NoAvcomb, the Avltness Raid
he is employed by tho Asphalt com
pany at a salary of $96 per month.
Grier admitted that he deposited $S00
in the bank about the time the as
phalt repair contract avbs passed.
This money he had saved out of his
salary. He also admitted t,hat the
money deposited by him betAveen June
:!, ISO!), and April, 1900, Avas betAveen
S1.S0O and $1,900, this hjcludlng the
?S00 before referred to. Grier Avas
then examined at length as to his -ar-ious
meetings -with Harris, but what
Avas elicited from him did not differ
materially from his testimony In chief
AVlth reference to these meetings.
13. J. Coleman AA'as sworn and his
direct examination ivas conducted by
Attorney John F. Scragg. Ho. corrob
orated Giles' as to tho meetings be
tween Grier and Harris at the baker
shop, and those who were present. Ho
was sure there Avese only tAvo sheet
ings at Rohrvvasser's, Instead of
three as testified to by Harris, and
that at tho flsst snectlng Calplsu Avas
present. Harris' story Avas that Cal
pin Avas not present until the second
snectlng. In speaking about tho
meeting at the bakei'y when Coyne,
Grier, Hauls and the Avltness wero
present, he hald that he sbav no
money on the table. There Avas no
table In the 100m. He saAv Hairls
tsylng to force some money on Grier
find heard the latter tell hlm,thnt he
had laid himself liable to arrest for
proffering money, At this point,
court adjourned for the noon recess,
nssd Avhen it reconvened, the examina
tion In chief of Coleman was re
sumed. SAW THE MONEY.
Oolesnan said he saiv Grier In Loftus
& Melvln's drug store one day eai-Jy Jn
lust May, In the drug stoso at the
time wero P, F, Calpin, C, W. MoKln
ney, William Lynett and John Loftus.
Orler said he had a, letter fsosn Harris
ussd he Avas going- up to see him. It
Harris offered him money he aa'oisM
have him arrested, He told those pres
ent to Avalt und he would be back In
u short time, He did setiirn u about
ilfteesi minutes und showed two $20
bills, which he said he obtained from
Harris. "I asn going to take this money
to my attorney and have Harris ar
rested," Grier said. Coleman was posl
tlvo that he had never dilven Grier to
the Hotel Rudolph In his AAagou, or
that he Avas ever In Harris' room In
the Rudolph Avith Grier. He had been
In Harris' room many times himself.
That concluded Coleman's examina
tion In chief, and he Avas cross-examined
by Mr. Torrey. He ivas Intro
duced to Harris In the Scranton house
In March by n friend of his named
Eavers, who was In the nlcknMn-the-slot
machine business. He as asked
If on March 20 Harris aviis not rldlns
with him In his wagon, and ho told
Harris he had done all he could to pio
mote his Interest In having the tax
ordinance amended, and that there
upon Harris gave him four $ri bills.
Coleman denied that anythlnrc of the
kind occurred, He had no recollection
of going to Wllkes-narro, March 23.
with Harris and Eavers and while
there entering Into a preliminary iigre
nicut to open a gambling house In U1I1
city. The Avltnes admitted going to
Wllkes-Burre with Harris, but denied
making any agreement as to a gamb
ling house.
SAID IT WAS NOT TltUK.
Coleman also denied that he told
Harris ho AA'ould Introduce him to
Grier, who Avas a very sninrt fellow,
and Avould look after tho amendment
of the tax ordinance' In the common
council. He said that Harris asked him
to Introduce him to some of tho coun
cllmen and he agreed to do so. Cole
man ivas then examined at some length
as to the meetings at Rohnvnsser's. He
denied that one nlKht. while- he avbs
having lunch at Lohmnnn'a with Har
ris, Hint the hitter gave hint a $30,
Avhich ho said aviis for Ihls services in
relation to the amendment of the tax
ordinance.
He admitted visiting Harris at the
Hotel Terrace at the time the council
men Avero arrested, but he could not
remember just ivhat A'as said. He was
sure he did not mention anything
about the bills that Grier had depos
ited Avith his attorney. He said that
Hauls said to him, "You are all right,"
and Coleman replied, "I know I am, I
haven't done anything."
P. F. Calpin, common councilman
from the Sixth ward, Avas the next
Avltness. He Avas examined by Attor
ney Joseph O'Brien. One day In ADril
he met Coleman and the latter asked
him to come to the bakery that even
ing, that Harris AA-anted to have a tulk
ivlth him. Soon after he arrived, Grier
came and then Coleman telephoned for
Harris. When the latter arrived Cole
man Introduced Grier to Harris. A con
A'ersatlon Avas opened, fnd Harris
pulled a letter out of his pocket and
held It up. It seemed tohhn that It
AA-as a typewritten letter and bore the
signatuie of C. M. Clarke.
HARRIS' STORY.
Harris told' them that thd,
stockholders AAcre afraid that the
local m.inagesnent of the Scran
ton Railway company AA-ouId not
be able to prevent the passage of the
tax ordinance, and as this tax would
practically drlA'e them out of business,
Harris said he had attracted the at
tention of his employes and they had
sent him on to have this ordinance
amended, and if he succeeded it Avould
be a great feather In his cap and Avould
lead to promotions, which 'would be a
nice thing for him, as he had a mother
and a sister to support.
Calpin AA-as the author of the ordi
nance and Grier said it Avould be better
to amend it by reducing the amount
of the tax. Grier said the tax Avas too
radical and aa-ouUI cause the ordinance
to be killed as a prior ordinance had
been. Nothing AA-as said about Grier
being a leader of the common council.
Some days later he met; Grier at the
Mears building and Grier said Harris
had been offerng him money and ho
AAas going around to see him and if
he offered him money again ho wa3 go
ing to take it and follow him for it.
Grier asked witness to go to Loftus &
Melvln's drug stoic and Avait for him.
In a feAV minutes Grier came in and al
most immediately afterwards Coleman.
The others pi'esent were C. W. McKinn
ney, "William Lynett and John Loftus,
Grier said ho AA'as going to see Harris
and if he offered him money he Avould
take it and use it against him. Wit
ness waited about ten or fifteen min
utes and then Grier came back and
said, "Well, I've got it," and displayed
tAA-o $20 bills. He said he Avas going to
place it in the hands of his attorney.
Soon after Avitness left tho store.
NOT OFFERED MONEY.
Calpin was cross-examined by Mr.
NoAvcomb. He inquired particularly
about his acquaintance ivlth C. W. Mc
Klnnoy and if the latter had not en
deaA'ored to Influence him by money
in favor of tho asphalt and electric
light ordinances. Tins Avas denied by
Calpin. He admitted that though he
had seen this evidence of actual brib
ery he did not lodge information
against Harris with any magistrate
nor did he say anything about It on
ine noor or tne council, He opposed
