GRIER JURY HAS
NOT YET AGREED
Went Into Court in the Afternoon
nnd Asked to Have Portions of
tho Testimony Read.
Up to a late hour last night the jury
In the case of James J. Orler had not
reached an agreement. It retired at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon.
About the court house .yestet'tlay the
opinion was quite general that there
would bo a disagreement.
Late in the afternoon the jurors sent
a note to Judge Edwards, Informing
him that they wanted certain iiortlons
of the testimony read to them. He had
the jurors brought Into No. 2, where!
the portions with reference to thu let
ter that Han-Is sent to Giier were read
to them at their request by Stenog
rapher Willis Coston. Judge Edwards
made no comment whatever.
It Is with reference to this letter that
the case largely turns. The letter Is
undated, 'but Grler alleges that he rot
It on May S and In response, called on
Harris on May 9 and received tho S40.
The detective avers that the letter was
not written until May 11, which would
destroy the theory that when Grler got
this letter he conceived tho plan of
trapping Harris and went to the Ru
dolph and accepted tho money.
NOTHING HEARD OF
BRADY DIAMONDS
Men Who Stole Them Seem to Have
Made Good Their Escape The
Empty Casket Found.
No clue has been as yet found by
tllo nnlli-o tn ttio Iflnntttcr nf flin lhtn-o
who Monday night secured such a rich
nam ol jewelry at tne residence of f.
D. Simpson, on Olive street, where a
casket containing over $1,500 worth of
diamonds, belonging to Mrs, II. H.
Brafy. Mr. Simpson's daughter, was
stolen.
The casket itself was yesterday
found in McICenna court, where tho
burglars had thrown it, but, with this
exception, nothing whatsoever has
been yet lound which revealed any
traces of the route taken by tho un
welcome visitors, after they left tho
house.
Chief Robling expressses himself of
the opinion that tho method used by
the burglars was similar to that of
two years ago, when several houses
In tho "hill" section were pillaged.
"There is no doubt," said the chief
yesterday, "that the burglar or burg
lars, left tho house via the front win
dow, In the second floor, and it Is
very likely that this was also their
mode of ingress."
It may have been, however, that
the intruder slipped Into tho lions
(luring the afternoon by one of tho
rear doors, hurriedly ascended a flight
of steps In the rear of the house, and
then secreted himself In a hiding
place until Mr. and Mrs. Brady wore
at dinner. Then, It was only tho wo'rlc
of a minute to enter Mrs. Brady's
dressing loom, snatch the jewel case
and station himself nt the window,
wait until the streets were clear of
people, and then to hurriedly descend
to tho ground, via the porch pillars,
Tho patrolmen on the beat Monday
night noticed several peculiar-looking
chalk marks directly in front of tho
Simpson residence, all of which wore,
of a uniform shape and size. They aro
of the opinion tljat this was done by
the burglars.

I WE MUST HAVE FOUR
Alderman Myron Xnsson, of the Ninth ward, when asked by a
Tribune manor his views as to why McKinley should be re-elected
and the Republican party retained in power answered:
"Because it has taken the country from a period of great depres
sion and has made it more than prosperous. It has encouraged en
terprises, brought out hidden capital whereby industries have
been started until all laboring men are offered employment, with an
increase of wages.
"It has brought prosperity to all classes of people particularly
the farmers, who have been enabled to pay off mortgages and the
same money has been used in purchase of the bonds of European
governments, a thing unheard of under a Democratic administration.
"It has made nil nations of the earth to respect and fear the Stars
and Stripes. Under its influence the government is more vigorous,
the people more patriotic, credit firmly established.
"The prosperity of the nation is marvelous and the record made
by the Republican party for the last four years demands that it di
rect the affairs of the United States for another term."

Its in the reform movement now agi
tating this city and ho made bold as
sertions last night regarding the cor
ruption which, he says, exists In this
city.
He began his address by explaining
how the blending of the practical and
spiritual makes a man's life what it
should be. He said that while things
may be judged by many standards,
that, nevertheless, back of them all Is
the only proper standard, the religious
standard.
He emphasized the fact that a
theoretical religion is absolutely use
less unless it shows itself in right
conduct. "If a man simply uses his
jaw to tell about his religion," said he,
"I don't want to hear him, but if he
is practically pious I will listen to hhn
respectfully."
After discussing at some length the
great variety of duties which confront
the citizen of a large city such as
Seranton, he told of the great number
of laws made necessary to properly
curb crime and keep the lawless ele
ment In check. Continuing, he said:
TO KEEP DOWN THE BAD.
A e;ood hv is, in 1113' opinion, a sood thine;
to Keep down the had. I lieliovc that liearly all
the law passed hy the legislatuies of the Clitis
tian commonwealths of this ponntiy aio good
laws. Theie may he some defective laws in
some states, hut not in Pennsylvania in our
time. When laws are made it is the piaetip.il
duty of liKht-mimlcd Cluistian men to see
tint they ate Kept.
When .1 man lives inditTeicnfly and carelessly
where cotiuption floutishes and iaies not ids
hand or voice to render assistance in seeintr
that cistine; laws aro enforced that man, I
sav, is not a Christian. .
Municipalities need a Rood deal of rrfonn and
a (rood deal nf it is needed in Seianlon. One
of the fhst thiiiRS that has to ho done in this
'ily is the deliverance of a gieat mass of the
people out of the Ignorance in which they aie
now dwelling They have lipcn, and are beinsr,
Ijrannied over hy a ceilaln class of political
bosses who make them think that they (the
bosses) have lltthts which they have not at all.
These people ate beinc forced by waul con
stables to pay a ceitaiu amount because the
constable leads them to believe that he can
protect tin 111 If tliey violate any of the written
laws of tho stale. This ia-noiance that prevails
is icllected in the mm these people send to
council to represent them.
TUB OliiUP. CASE.
Last week upon the witness stand an ex-pics!,
dent of the common council nf this city, who

who was on trial for Inlbory, couldn't state one

A sudden cave-In almost resulted in

few inches In diameter. Just as her
foot slipped the cavity suddenly en
larged, and In a moment she was en
gulfed In what had become a yawning
pit. She fell thirty-five feet, and her
loud shrieks, partially smothered by
the earth which crushed her down,
were heard by three men who nassetl
by.
They ran to her assistance, secured
rones, and threw them down to Mrs.
Cabbos. She tied them about her waist
and was soon drawn to the surface.
She Is sixty-eight years of age, and
the shock to her system proved a seri

jured and she was badly bruised about
the head.
The Lackawanna hospital was noti

. SIGN WARRANT
Believes He Is Not Expected to Pay
Expense of Fighting Application
for a Mandamus.
City Controller Howell has decided
to sign the warrant for $1,000, ibelng
the first payment on the lots' pur
chased by the school board from P.
McNally, of the Sixth ward.
The school board on Monday night
directed its attorney to go into court
and apply for a mandamus compelling
the controller to sign the warrant if
ho persisted In refusing to do so.
The controller said yesterday to a
Tribune man that he believed court
would grant such a mandamus unless
he fought the granting of It and to do
this would mean that he would have
to go to the expense of engaging a
lawyer. He believes that while It is
his duty to prevent as far as possi
ble the payments of any excessive
bills by either the city or the school
district, that nevertheless he cannot
bo expected to dive down Into his own
pocket to pay for the taking of cases
into court.
He said that very little public) In
terest has been taken in his endea
vors to prevent the paying of this
"exorbitant bill," as he terms It,
.Should any taxpayer or taxpayers as
sure him that they would be willing
to bear part of the expense of fight
ing tho application for a mandamus
ho might feel constrained to see the
matter through, but as no one has
evinced such a desire, ho will un
doubtedly sign the warrant.
The arguments of the two viewers
appointed by the building committee
regarding the extra expense of hiring
annexes and the Impossibility of ob
taining such annexes If the Corcoran
property were purchased, appear to
tho controller to be reasonable enough
but ho Is still firm in his conviction
that $4,300 and the school' property Is
too much to pay for the McNally lots.
WILD DASH OF TWO CARS.
Ran Away on the Mountain Side and
Crashed Into a. House.
Two empty flat cars ran awnV on tho
Spring Brook Water company's branch
road, eatly yesterday morning, and
after dashing down the mountain for
seven miles, jumped the tracks at a
curvo on tho outskirts of Mooslc,
ploughed through a field for a distance
of about a hundred feet and brought
up against tho corner of a dwelling
house, occupied by C, S. Broadhead nnd
owned 'by airs, T. I, Graver.
The momentum was so greatly re
duced by the trip across tho soft field
that the collision did comparatively
little damage to the house. A hole was
knocked In the siding, tho dishes
broken ,ln the pantry and pictures
knocked from the wall, Tho family
was given a bad scare. Had the carts
continued to the terminal In the heart
of the village and then jumped the
track, the consequences might have
been serious. ,
The cars are used for (hauling sup
plies to the company's dams. They
were standing on tho track, when an
engine backed Into them, end it Is sup
posed jarred their brakes loose.
TO SIMPLIFY
THEIR OFFER
(Concluded fiom Page 1.)
awnnna-Wyomlng resign to guarantee
their 10 per cent, offer till April 1.
This, however, may be no obstacle af
ter all. As stated In yesterday's Trib
une, practically all the operators of the
territory mentioned gave out a state
ment from their conference last Thurs
day that they "ngrced to add to their
notice a clause to the effect that It
was their Intention to pay the ad
vance In wages tilt April 1, 1901, and
thereafter until further notice." This
would seem to satisfy the demand con
tained In President Mitchell's state
ment of Monday night. "By posting
notices or otherwise" Is the manner
In which Mr. Mitchell would have the
guarantee made.
Taken as Sufficient.
The public announcement through
tho press In a statement prepared by
the operators themselves Is likely to
bo taken as a sufficient guarantee for
all practical purposes. The matter
was discussed Informally at strike
headquarters yesterday afternoon nnd
tho general opinion there was that this
would meet all tho requirements, In
view of President Mitchell's "or other
wise" stipulation.
District President T, D. Nichols and
District Secretary John T. Dempsoy
left yesterday afternoon for Hazleton
to attend a meeting of all the princi
pal officers, called by President Mitch
ell. It Is expected that this meeting
Will declare the strike at an end.
The miners herenbouts are highly
pleased at tho prospect of an early set
tlement and will halt with gladness
tho order calling off the strike.
Tho Forest Mining company, of
Archbald, have posted a notice com
plying with all the demands of the
minors. The employes of this company
have been on strike seven months.
Tho strikers made another demon
stration at the Grassy Island wnshery,
at Olyphnnt, yesterday, nnd succeeded
In keeping away the men who had
been working there. No violence was
offered. About 2,000 strikers assembled
near tho washery and stayed there
till about noon. No workmen put In
an appearance. One of the company
officials telephoned for Sheriff Pryor,
but inquiry satisfied the sheriff that
there was no necessity of his going
there.
The expected demonstration against
the washeries in this city did not oc-,
cur. President Nichols, It Is under
stood, advised against It, and his ad
vice was heeded.
Have Posted Notices.
The Delaware and Hudson and Le
high and Wilkes-Barre companies
have already complied with the agree
ment reached at yesterday's meeting
of operators. The Delaware and Hud
son company's notice, posted last night
at the various collieries, reads as fol
lows: In reference to our previous notice of Oi to
iler 6, in addition to the leditctlon to 'H.-V) per
Keg for powder, 2S per cent, will be added to
thu price of mine ton to make the advance of 10
per cent, as piopcsed. C C. Hose,
Siipeiinlendent Coal Depattmcnt.
A dispatch from Wilkes-Barre last
night stated that the Delaware and
Hudson and Lehigh and Wllkes-Barte
companies had posted notices there
granting the full ten per cent. In
crease and that this met all the de
mands of President Mitchell. This,
and some erroneous dispatches sent
out previously to the effect that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and Delaware and Hudson had grant
ed the demand that the offer should
be guaranteed till April 1, caused a
general misunderstanding throughout
the entire region.
President Mitchell called The Trib
une by phono at 9.30 o'cloclc from
Hasleton to have tho matter straigh
tened out and the story of the day,
as printed above was read to him
from a proof sheet. He would not
make any comments on the situation.
PUSHING WORK ON

Switchboard Is Here and Will Be
Put in Place in a Few Days.
Stringing the Wires.
About sixty employes of the Lacka

work all yesterday throughout tha
city, working on tho telephone poles
on which tho cross arms were placed,
the spike steps driven In, and the
wiring done. The work Is being prose
cuted with extreme activity, and the
company expects to have everything

running an tne way rrom Vino street
Green Ridge. Tho nw switch-board
has been received and workmen aro
dally expected, who will begin tho
work of erecting It. The board Is of
the most modern make, and does
away with all batteries, generators
and bell handles In the houses of
tho subscribers. The mere act of lift
ing tho ear phone connects with the
exchange. Each subscriber practical
ly has a private line, and cannot bo
disturbed while using It.
The company hns already secured
about fifteen hundred subscribers In
this city, nnd at Wilkes-Barre the
number of subscribers has so in
creased that It was found necessary
last week to install two additional
sections to the switch-board. There
will bo no additional charge for" com
munication from Seranton to Carbon-
dale or Wilkes-Barre,
Tho company Is making preparations
hero for very extensive work nnd for
use In the central city has forty-eight
conduits, Each of these is throo

of holding a lead covered cable con

of copper wires. Twenty-eight llkd
conduits are used by tho company for
