TRAVEL WAS
VERY LIGHT
Six Gars the Scranton Rallwau
Gomnanu Had In Service Gar
bed Few Passengers.
NEW YORKERS SENT HONE
All But Ten of the Batch, of Twenty
nine Men Who Arrived Here Tues
day Night Were Sent to Their
Homes New Men Deserted Their
Cars on the Streets and Went to
the Headquarter- of the Strikers.
Several Arrests Made During the
Day Stones Thrown at a Car on
North Washington Avenue.
Not more than half a dozen cars
wero in motion at any one time yes
terday. These made Irregular trips to
Dunmore, Providence, West Scranton
and South Scranton, or swung around
the central city blocks. One car was
kept moving most of the day up Lack
awanna, out Washington, down Spiuce
and out Franklin. Only a few dozen
passengers were curried by all the cars
combined.
Owlng to energetic woik of the strik
ers' missionaries, the company was left
with only twelve men, all except eleven
of the forty-eight men Imported up to
last night having deserted and gone
over to the strikers.
Only one of the Syracuse importa
tions remained on duty. Ho Is yio man
who was kidnapped Christmas night,
and who ns a security for his cood
faith in his promise to leave the cltv,
deposited all his money, $6 and his rail
road ticket, with the strikers' execu
tive committee, He was allowed to go
to the trolley company's offices to get
his vullse, a striker being sent with
him to make sure that he would come
back. The striker waited outside while
the Syracusean went up to the bunk
room to get his baggage. Thut was tho
last seen of Mr. Syracuse until yes
terday morning, when he appeared on
tho front platform of one of the cars.
The strikers wish it announced that
he can have his $0 and railroad ticket
if he will come after it.
ICESSLETt DESERTED.
The other Syracuse man, who had
not been corralled by the strikers, de
sorted the company yesterday after
noon. Ills name is William Kessler,
and It was he who recruited most of
the Syracuse squad for the company's
agent.
Yesterday afternoon he and one of
the New York men were running a. car
up Lackawanna avenue. When the car
stopped In front of the company's
ofllces, it was immediately surrounded
by a crowd of the strikers and their
sympathizers, headed by Martin D.
Flaherty, president of the Central
Labor union.
Some talked to the molormnn and
others to tho conductor, and after a
few minutes' conversation the oppro
brious names, which the crowd was
calling, changed into the wildest cheer
ing as Kessler and the New York marf
left the car and allowed themselves to
be escorted to strike headciuarters.
Both gave a solemn promise that they
would return to their respective homes,
just as soon as they could collect the
wages that are due them.
Two of tho fourteen New York men,
who refused to be converted Tuesday
night, repented yesterday morning,
after making a few trips, to the con
stant accompaniment of jeers fiom
men, women and children, and taking
their car to the barn, left It there and
proceeded to strike headquarters. They
paid their own way back to New York.
LEFT HIS CAB.
Another Now Yorker, who has a very
nasty way of talking, halted his car In
front of strike headquarters about
noon, said some things to a company
ofllcial who was on the platform, threw
his motor-handle across the street, to
the accompaniment of more nasty
ejaculations, and then, amid the cheers
and the crowd standing In front of tho
headquarteis, jumped from the car and
-went up to interview the strike com
mittee. He also agreed to pay his own
fare back to New York.
Eleven of tho seventeen New York
men who were corralled by the strik
ers' scouts. Immediately unon their ar
rival Tuesday night, were .sent back to
New York on the 3 o'clock n, m. Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western train.
Tho other six and the two who de
serted their car at tho barn went back
on the 3.33 train on the Lackawanna
road yesterday afternoon. Before leav
ing they paraded up und down Lacka
wanna avenue, headed by the strikers'
transportation committee, and were
loudly cheered,
Being unable to secure convenient
quarters for the imported men at nny
of the hotels or lodging houses, the
company set out yesterday to trans
form the paint shop of the Linden
street barn Into nn Improvised hotel.
Bunks and a cooking range wore
placed therein ami negotiations wore
made for the delivery there of a largo
quantity of provisions,
WOULDN'T FURNISH SUPPLIES.
Through dread of n boycott, or out
of real sympathy for tho strikers, the
business men who wero solicited to
furnish tho supplies for the company's
hotel declined to 1111 any orders. At
leust, .the company had not succeeded
in securing tho supplies up to a lato
hour last evening.
One largo wholesale house on lower
Lackawanna avenue, after accepting
an order for one hundred bushels of
potatoes und a largo quantity of
canned goods, chunged Its mind about
Its ability to till tho order and so in
formed tho company.
Tho Arm from whose otore the range
was secured refused to set It up,
claiming it did not do that klpd of
work, and when tho company demand
ed that the range be set up, the ilrm
replied that It would prefer to take tho
range away, The company then pro
ceeded to scurry ubout town for a
Plumber to do tho work, Late In tho
afternoon it was still looking for one.
Arrests and counter-arrests have al
ready begun. George Weed, one of tho
strikers, was arrested on a warrant
sworn out before Alderman Millar,
chagjng him with nssault and battery
on one of the New York men. Tho lat
ter could not Identify Weed, as his as
sailant and the case was dismissed.
POWELL ARRESTED.
Samuel Powell, another striker, was
arrested at the Instance of Charles
Seoley, an old employe of tho company,
who refused to Join tho union and con
tinues to work. Seeley says Powell not
aboard his car Christinas nftornoon
and made threats against him. Powell
declares ho mado no threats, hut
simply rode on the front platform for
a few blocks, talking to tho Imported
motorman In an effort lo convert him.
Seeley, who was acting ns conductor,
did not come up to collect faro und
Powell rang tho bell to call him. When
Seeley came forward, Powell handed
him tho faro and said ho didn't want
to bo under any obligations to such a
man.
Powell, upon learning yesterday that
there was a warrant for him, presented
himself before Alderman Millar, pre
pared to furnish ball. Tho alderman
did not ask for ball, but allowed Powell
to go In tho custody of his attorney, L.
P. Wedemnn, until the time for the
hearing, which Is lo bo arranged later.
Morgan Sweeney, special ngent of the
company, was arrested for assault ana
battery on Clyde Orlnger, tho Syracuse
man who deserted after coming hero
and then sued the company for his
wages and transportation to Syracuse.
The companymade a settlement with
him, and he started upstairs to get his
valise. On the way up he encountered
Agent Sweeney, who, so ho alleges,
threw him out. Sweeney entered ball
In tho sum of $500 for his appearance
nt a hearing befure Alderman Millar
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Timothy
Burke, a director of the company, be
came Ills bondsman.
SILLIMAN NOT DISCOURAGED.
General Manager SUHman was In his
oltlce all day, directing the company's
sido of the conflict. Ho was apparently
not dismayed at the desertions of the
imported men, and said that sort of
thing was counted upon. Ho reiter
ated his statement to the effect that
hundreds of men are being rf-ci lilted
in other cities and that they will be
brought on here daily until every cal
ls manned. He further says the com
pany has no course left except to light
it out to a finish.
Tho company, It Is understood, counts
upon a general break in the ranks of
tho strikers when they find that their
places uro being filled by others and
that their treasury is depleted by the
Wg drafts made on It for tho care and
transportation of the men who are be
ing sent back.
The men claim they can send the
Imported men awayus fast as tho com
pany can bring them on and that they
have assurances already of unlimited
ilnancial support. They have sent men
out to solicit subscriptions to their
strike fund and everywhere they go
they are given the most liberal kind of
substantial encouragement.
The sum of $125 was sent to stillce
headquarters yesterday by central city
business men, and one of them sent
word with his subscription that the
men could call on him for $10 a month
ns long as the strike lasted.
WILL RECEIVE AID.
When the local resources are insuf
ficient to meet the expenses of the
light, Executive Committeeman Reeves
says, the national association can be
relied upon to come to the strikers'
aid. The strike was duly authorized
by tho national oillcers and they will
see to It, he snys, that it will not fall
for lack of funds.
The strikers are making a note of all
persons who ride on the cars and re
porting them to headquarters, where
a list of them is preserved for future
reference.
Allied organizations are preparing to
help out the stl liters. Assurances of
aid were given at a meeting of the
Taylor local of the United Mine Work
ers' union, and on Christmas night the
following resolution was passed by the
Jessup local:

The announcement of the death of

M'DONNELL INQUEST
WAS POSTPONED
Delay Due to the Illness of Coroner
Roberts Statement Given Out
by the Woman's Son.
Owing to the illness of Coroner J. J.
Roberts the Inquest scheduled for last
night to lifrjulre Into the death of Mrs.
Cella McDonnell had to be postponed
until a future date.
As yet nothing has developed that
AAould throw any light on the mystery
that surrounds tho killing of Mrs. Mc
Donnell. Her son, P. J. McDonnell,
has given out the following statement
with reference to the case:
Last lliiirtdiy night I letumed home at 1 a, m,
and found my home in dirkneM with both tire
out nml two lamp?, which wero piepaied to be
lighted. 1 wns HnpiKil to find the borne in such
it condition and went to my mother's sleeping
room, but found her mining. 1 then went to
nutiker 11111 and culled on wvci.il neighbor', but
found them nil in bed. I thin icturncd towaidi
Lome and after reaching the residence of Mr.
O'llara which adjoiiH my own 1 entered and
aroused them, I asked il my mother was seen
that day or night and in i c ply to my question
Mrs. O'llara liifoimcel me that she had not seen
her since 4 o'clock that r.tteiuoon, being fouip
wlnt bewildered I then continued my journey
home and retired for tho night, supposing she
would return home at any moment.
When I nroc in the morning I was turpi Ned
to still llnd her missing. After making another
eeaich I met a friend by the mine of Prank
O'llara and he infoimcd me Hut .1 l'lieud of my
mother's called fiom Peianton nud would llko
to have her tall at their home fur the Cliiisliuast
and that his wife vva-, ill and Ilia' lii'oinution
relieved my mind somewhat. 1 lelnined to my
place of business on ( hcstuut Muet and le
mained thorn until 12 o'elfcl: l'rida.v night n I
thought all was well doling the meantime as
iny Mends' in Bunker Hill sent no word to the
contiary. AVheu I returned home I found iny
home in the same condition as I leit it in the
morning. I thin lighted the lamp and made a
Ihoiougli search of the premises and found all her
good garments in her waulrobe. Tint was the
fli'st time the thought entered my mind that she
met with a mishap. After inspecting my home
I visited every house in l'.unker Hill and could
find no liaco of her whoicaboul-.
About T o'clock Patuiday moiniiig I went to
tho Speedway hotel to usicitain whether the oc.
i-upants of the hotel bavv any poison in that
ncighboihood nnsneiing the dc-irriptioii of iny
mother and was infoimcd by the cl"ik that a
woiuin called there between the Iioum of .", and
0 o'cloik Thuisdny evening nud mnde a purchase.
After learning this piece of infonnition I btuted
away with the idol that she had lost hei way 111
Ihe woods or met with foul play. T then notified
several of iny frleudd who organised a scare Iilng
party while I callid on her sister in f-cranlon
and wa-s infoimcd that she hnd not called ,there
and also wail informed thai the supposed Scran
ton fiicnd had not visited lice on Tluusday,
Tiie-n ou Satmday night I notified I'lil, f of To
lice Healey lo 101110 to Hunker II ill and ,n-ist
in the scaii'ii. In the meantime I met a little
Italian boy who ind seen my mother taking to
liw home coal and water,, and after gaining ac
cess to the building lighting, the lamp. So far
as I have gone in the seateh It appears to mo
that my mother was muidcud in her own home
and then tuken to tho spot wheie she was found,
for the shawl which was found about her neck
did not belong to her and was wound about her
neel: In a rope shape.

STRIKERS HAD BEST OP IT
Two Hundred Strikers, with Promi
nent Labor Leaders ns Allies,
Boarct a Car Containing Fifty
three Men Brought from New
York to Take Their Places and
Succeeded in Winning Thirty-five
of Them Away from the Agents
of the Trolley Company, Who
Wero Using Equally Energetic
Efforts to Hold Tliem in Line.
What was the most exciting scene of
the strike, thus far, uud one that prob
ably could not be duplicated In any
other city In tho country, occurred laat
night at the Delatvare, Lackawanna
nnd Western station.
The train arriving here at 9.03 o'clofck
had uttached to It, at the rear, a coach
containing fifty-three men recruited In
Greater New York to take the places
of the strikers. News o their coming
Avas received at strike headquarters
early In the afternoon, and Avhen the
train pulled In there Avete 200 strikers
and 500 sympathizers on hand to re
ceive them.
Tho train had hardly come to a stop
before the crowd located the car and
began to pile In from both ends.
Superintendent Patterson, Morgan
Sweeney, Daniel Hefllecker, Chief
Clerk P.ellly nnd others of the trolley
company's representatives had the
greatest difficulty In getting aboard
and Avhen they did they found every
one of the Importations surrounded by
the strikers' missionaries, listening to
beseeching appeals to desert the com
pany anil accept the offer of the strik
ers to pay their way back to New
York.
Martin D. Flaherty, president of the
Central Labor union; J. F. Hammes,
the well-known labor leader, and Ex
ecutive Committeeman Reeves, nnd
one of the executlA-e committee of the
strikers made addresses, appealing to
the men to desert and accompany the
strikers to their headquarters.
STRONG APPEALS MADE.
"Don't disgrace the honest mother
that bore you." "Save your children
from the stigma that you -will bring
upon them by taking a fellow-workman's
place." "Think of your own
wife and little ones." "For God's sake
and humanity's sake don't take the
bread and butter out of the mouths of
a poor man's AVlfe and children."
These and the like were the strong ap
peals made to the sympathy of the
New Yorkers. While all this was going
on a prominent young lawyer Avas in
dustriously circulating among the
timid-looking ones and telling gory
stories of how they could expect to be
kidnapped and1 carded into the mines
to be starved and tortured by tho
miners' Ku-Klux society, Avhlch had
sworn solemn swears in their cham
ber of horrors, three thousand feet
underground, that no man should ever
come into these parts to take a union
man's place.
The car was cut fiom the train and
pulled into tho siding back of the trol
ley company's ofllces, but the exhorta
tions kept up and continued for a full
half-hour later.
"Don't follow the Mark Hanna of
SVianty hill; come with us!" a striker
shouted Avhen the company's agents
tried to get tho New Yoi leers started
towards the rear door.
"Every man that's a white man, come
this Avayi" one of thestrikers bellowed.
'If you go the other way you AVlll haA'e
to sleep on a pallet of straw In a barn,
llko a dog. Come Avlth us and Ave will
pay your bill at any hotel in the city."
Finally one of the New Yorkers
jumped up, shouldered his A'alise and
started for the door in company of a
striker. His appearance aa-os the sig
nal for a sreat outburst of cheering.
Then another, and another A'as cor
ralled and taken out by the strikers,
and finally a general stampede to tho
strikers' cause occurred, and before the
trolley company's men could check
them, thirty-flve of the fifty-three men
had gone out the strikers' end of the
car and weie being escorted to 'the
headquarters, surrounded by a madly
cheering mob.
POLICE ON HAND.
Chief Robllng and a feAV police offi
cers were outside during all the com
motion ready to quell any breach of
the peace, but they religiously observed
tho recent decisions of the Iuav that
strikers are permitted to use moral
suasion to prevent men from taking
their places. When the strikers had
satisfied themselves that the remaining
eighteen were either detecth'es or men
too obdurate to listen to their reason
ing they lert the car and ftien Chief
Robllng came through and requested
everybody to get out, which request
avus readily obeyed,
During all the time there Avasn't
as much as a threat made. Sometimes

207 WASHINGTON AVENUE. Scranton, Pa
a trolley company agent and a striker
Avould be Avorklng on the same man,
but they very commendably refrained
from harsh words or utterances that
Avould tend to provoke trouble.
Superintendent Patterson avus stand
ing In the street In front of the com
pany's ofllces when a couple of strikers
laughingly caught him by the shoul
ders and proceeded to hustle him down
towurds strike headquarters, declaring
that he would have to be converted.
The superintendent look the thing
good-naturedly and upon being re
leased at the entrance to the head
quarters stopped a moment to pass a
pleasant Avord Avlth the men.
The men saved from the Avreck bv
the trolley company were fed In one
6f the rear rooms of the general of
fices. Those who Avero corralled by the
strikers Avere taken out to the best
restaurants and given the best the
land afforded, after Avhlch they Avere;
provided with beds in one or the other
of the hotels.
These new coiners, unlike those who
preceded them, admitted Jthnit they
knew there was a strike in progress.
One of them in conversation with a
Tribune leporter said:
"This is all bosh nbout saying they
didn't know there was a slilke on here.
Why we're professional strike break
ers. I was In the Rrooklyn strike and
so AA'as most of these other fellows.
The detective agencies know Avheie to
get us whenever they want us and we
often get a gieut snap out of it. I
ain't often moved by sympathy, but
I couldn't stand out agalnxt those
fellows tonight. Anyhow, you've only
got a handful of cops here and a buck
Is liable to have his bloody nut cracked
If he hangs around here and tries to
run a car. We're in this for the
dough. We Avere promised ?2.R0 a day
and board as long as the strike lasted
und besides that Ave cabbage pretty
nearly till Ave take in. That's an un
derstood thing that Ave don't turn over
very much of Avhat Ave collect. I made
$700 during the Rrooklyn strike. Thrt;
isn't anything much in it here, though,
as the people won't ride on the cars,
they tell me."
The men Aveiv ssuuted by Drum
mond's Detective agency. The man In
charge of them gaA'e nis name as
Henry Smith. When asked if he didn't
mean "Harris" Instead of "Smith," he
smiled a knowing smile, as If to say
"Yes, come to think o It you had
another Detective Smith up this way
not long ago."
Twenty-two of the thirty-five men
Avent back to NeAV York on the 1:40
a. m. train. Three others went to
Wllkes-Burre declaring that was their
home. The other ten of the corralled
New Yorkeis said IheA' would take ti
look at the town and go home tomor
row night.
OTHER ARRIVALS.
The train that took these men uwuy
brought in six new recruits of the
company from the North, supposedly
Buffalo. They Avere accompanied by
three detectives. The strikers Avero not
expecting them, but the few who wero
about th station to give tho New
Yorkers a send-off spotted the new
comers and proceeded to convert them.
Their efforts, however, met with 111
success. The Imports Avere hustled
quickly to the trolley company's of
fices and stowed nivay in tho bunk
room Avlth the others.
One of tho neAV comers thought he
avus going to 'get hurt when the strik
ers' missionaries surrounded him In
front of tho ofllces and mado a, last
desperate struggle to avIu him OA'er,
and putting his hand to his back
pocket drew u revolver. The detec
tives and company officials rescued
him and hustled him Into the ofllces,
before tho strikers succeeded In bring
ing a patrolman to the scene, al
though tAvo of them Avho suav the dis
turbance from the block above AA'ore
on a run dotvn the avenue at tho time.
