SUDDEN ATTACK
OF ILLNESS
Mrs. Mary Carden Found on Spruce
Street Bridge Unconscious, with
a Fractured Skull.
Mrs. Mary Canlon, of l!13 South Irv
ine: a venue, was fuund lylnfi- In nn un
conscious i-ondltion on the Spruce
street bridgo about 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, with blood flowing from a
Inrue Rash lit Iter head, She was re
moved to her homo In the Lackawanna
hospital ambulance, and Dr. J, w.
Ilttbch offered tho woman temporary re
lief. Dr. M. II. Qulnn was later called
to trout her Injuries. It was found that
she had sustained a fracture at tho
huso of her bkull, concussion of tho
brain resulted, and recovery is jno
nounced very doubtful,
Mrs. Carden was In a stupor when
found, and continued In that htntu
throughout tho night. The supposition
is that while crossing the bridge sho
was attacked by a sudden lit of Illness,
and In falling struck her head against
tho iron railing or tho enr tracks. It
was at first thought that she was
struck by a car or run Into by a wagon,
but Dr, Qulnn gives as his theory the
first quoted above,
Mm. Carden, wh' Is about llftv-flvo
years of age, was seen walking along
tho bridge, with a tired, dragging step
and peculiar, weary look In her eyes.
Shortly afterwards she was found in
an unconscious condition,
Mrs. Cat den was hist night pro
nounced to bo in a very precarious con-
dltlon.

ENTHUSED OVER
RECENT VICTORY
Members of Union League Serenaded
Congressman Connell and Enter
tained Other Candidates.
That sturdy body of young Republi
cans, tho Union league, whose mem
bers did such yeomanly work during
the election, last night serenaded Con
gressman Wlllliim Connell nt his homo
on Vine street, and then gave a rous
ing reception at the Central Republi
can club heathiunrters for tho other
successful Republican candidates. Roth
parts of the programme were carried
out admirably, and George Marshall,
tho chairman in charge, felt deservedly
proud of thu results of the evening.
At 7.1." o'clock a large number of
members of the league met at the
headfiuarters and there filed into line
and, headed by Lawrence and his
band, marched to Mr. Connell's home.
The majority of the men In line wore
their now famous khaki uniforms, and
with their Rough Rider hats and
flaming flambeaux made an excellent
serenading party. They arrived at their
destination about 7.30 o'clock. There
Director Lawrence gave the signal and
the trumpets blared and tho cymbals
clashed, as the brisk, business-like
tono of one of Plnsutl's marches cleft
the air. The strains of music attracted
the residents within a radius of sev
eral blocks, who rapidly lluckcd to the
scene.
At the first burst of music, tho door
of tho home opened and Congressman
Connell made his appearance on the
porch. Loud cheers greeted him, and
as he turned to speak to Rev. Dr. C.
M. Giflin, of tho Elm Park Methodist
Episcopal church, who accompanied
him, he seemed much affected by tho
spirit which prompted tho serenade.
Tho band completed the selection,
amidst loud applause from the gath
ered crowd, and then played Plnsutl's
"Queen of tho Earth." This was fol
lowed by a medley march by AV. C.
Ott, a member of theAband, and tho
leaguers and musicians then proceeded
to the headquarters.
Here stirring after-election speeches
wore delivered by the re-elected repre
sentative of the Second Legislative dis
trict, John J. Kchouor, jr.. Recorder of
Deeds-elect Emll Bonn, Attorney James
E. Watklns, of Taylor, and others. The
clerk of the courts, Thomas P. Daniels,
was also present and was unanimously
urged to say something about his tri
umph at tho last election, but "Tommy"
modestly shook his head, and refused
to be an orator.
The gathering was of a happy, hall
fellow well-met nature, and a henrtv
spirit of comradeship seemed to hover
over the room. The health of Congress
man Connell, Treasurer-elect Scranton,
Solicitor, Daniels, Bonn and all the
other triumphant Republicans were
drunk, time after time, and every man
on the ticket was cheered to the echo.
Representative Scheuer was the first
called upon for a speech. He referred
to tho excellent work tlono by the
Union league during the campaign and
expressed himself of tho opinion that if
a similar organization had been per
fected r'ears ago, much dissension and
trouble vould have been spared tho Re
publican party In Lackawanna, county.
He concluded his remarks by saying:
"In wishing you God-speed, I hope
that tho Union league will not rest on
Its recently gained laurels, but will
continue to be a gieat factor In tho
Republican politics of the state."
Emll Bonn remarked that he was no
orator, and did not claim to be, "but
thnt ho had always been a party man,
and ns such he gloried In the Repub
lican party's great victory of two weeks
ago.
Attorney "Watklns also spoke of tho
lam els gained by the Grand Old Party
in tho recent campaign, and declared
that tho republic had manifested its
approval of tho policy and achieve
ments of the Republican president. Ho
deftly complimented the three candi
dates present upon their victories, and
said that the work done by tho leaguo
was only another manifestation of tho
old mluge- that "In union there Is
strength,"

RATES ON COAL
ARE UNFAIR
BPARD OF TRADE TO SUBMIT
QUESTION,
At Last Night's Meeting Among the
Resolutions Presented for Consider
ation by the National Board of
Trade Was One Calling the Atten
tion of tho Inter-state Commerce
Commission to tho Glaring Freight
Discrlminatidns Against Anthrn
cito CoalThe West Scranton
Board of Trade.
Once a year each of the Individual
boards of trade which are members of
tho national board of trade formulate
certain resolutions for consideration at
the annual meeting of that organiza
tion. The resolutions to bo Introduced
this year by the Scranton board of
trade were considered at the regular
meeting held last night, and ono of
these In particular Is especially timely
and It Is most fitting that It should
originate from an organzatlon which
has Its existence In the very heart of
the anthracite field. It reads as fol
lows: Ihsohod, rty the National Iloaid of Trade that
tho at ton 1 1 on of the Interstate comnieteo coniinU
fllon bo called to the Blaring discrimination in
freight rates against anthracite coal, and that
they are hereby ic-pectfnlly requested to do
away with such discrimination, and if the present
law under which tho commission Is acting;, doc
not permit of such action, tlu.11 i'oil;reM lie le
quoted by additional legislation to lemcdy the
same.
Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, who, with
Secretary Atherton, will represent the
fc'cranton board of trade at tho meet
ing of the Nntlonal board, offered this
resolution und gave a number of rea
sons why It should be brought up. Ho
quoted statistics to show that whore
It costs ten and one-tenth mills per
mile to carry anthracite coal 115 miles
from Scranton to tidewater, it costs
only two and four-tenth mills per ton
per mile to carry bituminous coal 1957
miles.
"This Is a very serious question,"
said Colonel Hitchcock, "and one
which means a great deal to the peo
ple of this valley. Things have reached
such a stage now that the anthracite
operators can't even take their buck
wheat and rice coal and compete with
bituminous coal In the power produc
ing fuel market, on account of the dis
criminating freight rates given to the
bituminous operators."
McCLAVE'S STATEMENT.
"William McClnvo told of having been
present at a meeting of tho interstate
commerce commission when this "mat
ter was being discussed some years
ago, and said that the only argument
tho attorneys for the bituminous oper
ators could offer In favor of lower
freight rates was that bituminous coal
was so plentiful that it ought to be
carried cheaply, the same as sand or
gravel. He thought that what was
required was men with a little brains
on the commission. The other resolu
tions which the Scranton board of
trade will present are as follows:

In good standing was a mighty poor
showing for a city of 102,000 Inhabi
tants. It wns pointed out that tlio
Scranton Board of Trade Is one of the
oldest commercial bodies In the United
States, and that It tins always done
nnd Is still doing yeoman service for
the city.
Tho necessity of Increasing thu
membership to tit least 400 was
brought up, and It was pointed out
that with siirli a membership It would
bo possible to reduce tho annual dues
from $25 to $12 a year, and still re
tain the present ruvtlutu of $4,000 ti
year. Somo of tho members thought
that 300 members wns a sufficient
number, nnd others were not In favor
of reducing tho dues oven If the mem
bership wns increased.
"A Fort of Inertia seems tu have
come over the members of tills board
and the people of tills city," snld Col.
Hitchcock, "Wo must remember that
wo are living In a strenuous age. The
business men of this city should real
ize that belonging to this board and
taking an Interest iln Its meetings
menus dollars and cents to them."
Luthar Keller thought that "section
alism" prevented nn Increase In the
membership. "Wo nro cursed with sec
tionalism In this city," said he. "There
should bo but ono board of trade. The
"West Scranton board of trade ought
to come in with us. They are working
only for ono section, while wo nro
working for the whole city. I'm not
In favor of the present viaduct plan,
but I know that tho credit for Its suc
cess Is largely duo to this hoard of
trade. Tho West Scranton hoard did
a lot of talking, but nothing definite
was done until we took hold. They
have been hammering away about a
viaduct for years, but they didn't ac
complish anything."
REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.
It was finally decided to refer the re
port back to the committee, with power
to formulate some plan for Increasing
tho membership before the annual
meeting In January and to net on this
plan.
It was unnnlmously decided to hold
a banquet on tho occasion of the an
nunl meeting, and nil arrangements for
this affair wero referred to the regular
banquet committee. It was announced
that President Lansing Is already In
communication with President Schur
man, of Cornell university, head of tho
Philippine commission, with the view
of having him ns the speaker on that
occason.
A resolution was adopted commend
ing the prison board for employing tho
county jail prisoners on the roads
throughout the county and expressing
the hope thnt the work would be con
tinued until this present disgraceful
condition of many of the roads Is Im
proved. A. B. Dunning, Jr., who was tho
board's delegate to the recent conven
tion of the National' Municipal league
hold In Milwaukee, reported that there
was a. strong probability of the next
convention of this organization being
held in Scranton this coming spring.
The matter of selectng a convention
city was left In the hands of the ex
ecutive committee and this committee
was favorable to Scranton, Mr. Dun
ning said. Ho was accordingly in
structed to tender an Invitation to the
committee on behalf of the board.
Secretary Atherton made the follow
ing encouraging verbal report regard
ing the prospective establishment of an
Industry in this city:
t have the pleastuo to again report the prob
able location of a ory desirable industry. Ne
gotiations have been pending since last spring
and they nie so far consummated that an offer
his been made, by the paitlcs iu inteiest, for a
(die of four and one-third acies situated within
the city limits, and 1 luie eery assurance that
the nlfcr will be aicepted. A meeting will be
held this week that will decide the matter defi
nitely. This i-, nn old established concern, highly
rated. They will employ at least 100 men from
the start, most of whom will bo skilled mechan
ics, and they will invest in their plant and
machinery about ?U."i,0iW, Knit details will bo
made public as soon as final negotiations are
completed, but I am not at libcity to divulge
just now the exact liatuie of this industry.
LUNCH SERVED.
At the conclusion of the meeting,
which was especially well attended, a
delicious lunch was served In one of
tho committee rooms by Caterer Han
ley. A pleasant halt-hour was spent in
social intercourse by the members ns
they discussed the dainty viands.
VALUABLE DOGS
ARE POISONED
Vandal Scatters Strychnine About
the Court House Grounds, with
Most Disastrous Results.
Hewett's wagon yesterday morning
carted away tho carcasses of seven
dogs found In alleys and other out-of-the-way
places In the vicinity of
court house square. All had died from
strychnine poisoning.
An Investigation showed that the
dogs had eaten of poisoned meat on
court house square.
B. H. Megargoe, of the wholesale
paper firm of Megargee Bros,, owns a
valuable bull terrier. Sunday evening,
Richard Davis, chief of tho court
houso police, noticed tho dog stagger
ing away from the grounds and acting
as If about ao go Into spasms. Know
ing tho dog mill of Its being highly
prized, hn hastened to Veterinarian
Decker and directed him to overtake
the dog and caro for him. Tho veter
inarian caught up with the dog us It
was neaiing Its owners home, nnd af
ter working on him until 1 o'clock
yesterday morning, brought him
around all right.
Mr. Megargee yesterday started out
to hunt down tho vandal, Ho began
his Investigations nt the county com
missioners' olllce, but all tho employes
ono after tho other, stated positively
they knew nothing of how tho poison
ed meat came tn find Its way to tho
court house grounds. They nil knew
that tho northeast corner of the plot
Is n favorlto play ground for dogs, and
that on Sunday, when so many per
sons take their dogs along when out
for a walk, that It Is not uncommon
to see half a hundred canines sporting
about tho grass, "Why anyone should
want to go Into such a wholesale and
indiscriminate slaughtering of doggies
none of them would uttempt to say,
Mr. Megnrgeo continued his Investi
gations in other directions, but as yet
has been unablo to arrive at a satis
factory theory of why such an act of
vandalism was committed.
Who tho owners of tho other poi
soned dogs aro has not yet been dis
covered. Several of them appeared to
bo well bred, and one of them, a collie,
was Judged by dog fanciers to bo es
pecially valuable.

ROBINSON PAID
OUT NO MONEY
LACKAWANNA'S FRANCHISE
DID NOT COST HIM A CENT.
So Far as He Knew No Money Was
Paid by nny Other Member of tho
Company or by tho Company.
Went to Sea tho Members of Coun
cil Ho Thought He Might Havo
Influence with in Referenco to the
Ordinance Another Hearing on
Frldny Evening.
Former Sheriff Chniies Robinson wns
the only witness examined yesterday
nt tho adjourned hearing in the case
against Select Coiincllmon It. H. Will
iams, Simon Thomas, Edward James,
lr., and P. P. McCtinn, charged with
soliciting and accepting bribes. Noth
ing of Importance was elicited from the
witness.
He said he Is a director of the Lack
awanna Telephone company and be
came Interestetl In that concern somo
time after It was organized and an
effort to secure a franchise from coun
cils had fulled. Ho did not remember
Just how the death of the ordinance
was brought about when It was first
Introduced. Not being Interested In the
company, he paid no special attention
to the matter.
At the time the franchise was secured
Inst spring he had been Interested In
the company for one year and a half.
The others Interested were W. J. Lewis,
R. G. Brooks, Thomas Brooks, ex
Mayor W. L. Connell, A. P. Bedford
und E. J. Robinson.
When he became interested In tho
company ho bought out the holdings of
someone else. He could not recall whq
this was. Ho got his certificates of
stock at n meeting of the company In
Traders' National bank building.
THE EFFORT FAILED.
Soon after this meeting an effort wns
mudo to get a franchise through coun
cils, but It failed. Nothing further was
done In that direction until last win
ter. They had numerous meetings to
consider the matter of getting an ordi
nance through councils and It was ar
ranged that he should see certain
friends of his In councils and that other
members did the same. He was pre
pared to say that the securing of the
franchise did not cost him any money
and he had no knowledge of any other
member of the company paying any
thing or of any money being paid to
any person by the company for the
purpose of securing tho passage of the
franchise ordinance.
Mr. Robinson had' not assisted In
raising money for the company last
Februury, when the ordinance was on
passage, and had no knowledge of the
company discounting its note at one of
the city hanks for a largo sum of
money nt that time. When he first
went Into the company he had ten
shares, and the company's capital stock
was $100,000. After the ordinance was
passed the company reorganized and
Increased the capital slock to $600,000.
Ho got his proportionate, share of the
increase of tho capital stock.
None of the couneilmen were present
nt any of the meetings of the company.
The members of council he saw per
sonally wero C, F. Wagner, Adam
Schroeder, J. J. Schneider, Edward
James, jr., Simon Thomas and many
others, probably, altogether a. majority
of the members of select.
WAS AT COUNCIL ROOM.
He was at the council chamber the
night select council passed the ordi
nance. He did not go Into the- treas
urer's private office after the meeting.
He went to the Scranton house, where
he mot Andrew Healey. Witness could
not s;iy whether or not Healey had
business In the treasurer's office im
mediately after the meeting adjourned.
So far as he knew, Healey was not
specially Interested In the passage of
the telephone ordinance. Healey hus
no financial or other interest In the
company, so far as he knew.
Witness declared that he never had
a conversation with ex-Mayor Connell
or either of the Messrs. Brooks about
tho amount It would cost to pass tho
ordinance. On the night the ordinance
passed, ho met nearly ull of the mem
bers of council at the Scranton house.
Ho could not remember tho names of
those he saw there.
Mr. Robinson said he never conferred
with P. J. O'Boylo about the passage
of the ordinance and had no knowl
edge that Mr. O'Boyle was Interested
in the passage of the ordinance. Ho
had no knowledge of a meeting of
couneilmen In the St. Charles hotel a
few hours before the council meeting.
That concluded Mr. Robinson's ex
amination, and Mr. Newcomb said they
would hnve to ask for an adjournment,
as they found It dlfilcult to get tho ser
vices of subpoenas on A. J. Healey, C.
O. Roland and W. M. Flan, witnesses
they wanted to call to the stand next.
Another hearing will be held Friday
evening at 7.30 o'cock.
