MEN OF THE HOUR Only two of the many men who C3rrv o thu Lackawanna road with Presl lnt Truesdale to take charge of nn mix)rtnnt department in the Scranton ofllceg now remain. They aro J. M. Duly, superintendent of transportation, find L. T. Canlleld, master ear builder. It Is stated on well-founded authority that Mr. Canfleld will, lwfore long, en Joy the distinction, singly and alone, hs Mr. Daly has about determined to accept a position with the Southern Pacific. Scranton will regret to lose Mr. Daly, ns lie has come to bo regarded as one of the kind of men it. bustling young city can not have too many of, and It was expected that when, In the near futuro, ho would come to bo more prominently Identified with Ita activ ities, ho would prove himself as valu able to his adopted city as ho is to the company with which ho is now allied. Duiing his brief residence In Scran ton, Mr. Daly has made many warm friends and admirers, nnd these will especially regret his departure. w It Is a remarkable thing that so tow lawyers are elected as members of the municipal councils in the cities of this country. The gentlemen of the legal profession are greatly In the majority in congress nnd in the legislatures of the several states, but are very seldom found occupying seats in the legisla tive bodies of a municipality. Es pecially Is this true in this city, where the only lawyer In councils Is the new ly elected common councilman from the Second ward, II. S. Alworth. Mr. Alworth met with great oppo sition from unexpected sources at the recent election, but he won out be cause the peoplo believed in him, and there Is no question but that he will prove himself worthy of their trust. He brings to councils not only an un blemished reputation as a man ot character and of honor, but the deter mination to do everything in his power to help win back for the legislative bodies of this city the place In the hearts of the citizens which they have lost by reason of the recent revelations miida by the Municipal league author ities. Ho Is not a theorist or an Idealist. Ho sayo himself that the reformer who Is not practical In no reformer nnd need not hopo for success. Ho has the legal qualifications to enable him to legislate wisely for the best interests of the city, nnd his record us u mem ber of council will undoubtedly be a Vrllllant one. PERSONAL Captain J.

A meeting of the Central Labor union was held yesterday In Carpenters' halt, lAvlien the suinl-unimnl election of Ul cers was conducted. The following ot flccrs were elected: President, "Walter Jones: vice-president, Stephen Price: reeordliiB secretary, Nicholas Burke; Beeretary-treasurer, George Qothlerj sergeunt-at-arms, Thomas Shea; trus tees, Thomas Davis. M. J. Burke nnd John Martin; organizer, 'Martin D. Fla herty, re-elected. George Qotliler, delegate to the American Federation of Labor conven tion at Louisville, Ky., In December, read his report, describing among oth er things how hard Wilkes-Barre worked to secure the convention by the circulation of photographic views ot the city and pamphlets. A vote of thanks was tendered M. D. Flaherty, the retiring president, for the able and clllclcnt manner In which he has conducted his olllce. Another vote of thanks was tendered Oeorgo Clothier for his services as delegate to the American Federation of Labor con vention. Credentials from several niln eis' unions, clerks' unions, musicians and steam engineers were received. The theulrlcal committee reported their grievances settled satisfactorily. CARPENTERS' STRIKE MAY BE ADJUSTED It Is Thought That a Compiomiso Will Be Effected Before the End of the Present Week. Oinllfylng progress has already been made towards effecting n.n amicable pettlemcnt of the carpenters strike, which lias be-n on since June 1, 1900. Aa told previously in Tho Tribune, tho local officers of tho Carpenters' union, acting with National Organizer Fred Dllcher, of the United Mine Workers, made preliminary arrange ments for conferences with influential members of the Builders' exchange. looking to a compromise arrangement that would result In the calling off of the strike. A. C. Cattermull, of Chicago, a member of tho national executive committee of the Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners, who came on last Thursday to further the negotiations, has been Industriously at woik ever since, nnd now the announcement Is made that before the present week Is over the chances are the strike will be nt an end. An Informal conference Is to be held today or tomorrow, at which a formal conference will likely be arranged be tween duly accredited committees rep resenting the builders and the strik ers. Both sides evince a desire to ef fect a settlement, and It Is thought that when they get together and thresh out the matters at Issue that an amicable adjustment will be ar rived nt. No small amount of building opera tions nre being held up by reason ot the unwillingness of the prospective builders to give the work to a non union contractor and thereby Incur the unfriendliness of the union men: or, on the other hand, to give it to a union contractor and offend the builders ex change, In which nearly all the larger and more Influential contractors tiro members. This fact will have much to do in encouraging concession's from both sides. FINED S7 AND COSTS. One of the Broadway Club Members Brought to Grief. James Jones, a leader of the Broad way Athletic club, was given a hear ing before Alderman Millar, Saturday nlgh't on the charges of assault and battiy and disorderly conduct. The cliarge of assault and battery was withdrawn, but ho was fined 1 and costs for disorderly conduct. Jones is a member of a gang known as the Broadway Athletic club. On New Year's day tho members of the "club" dragged an old man named Samuel Selfer from his carriage and beat him until another man, Steln berger, interfered, when their blows were directed upon him. Five witnesses appeared against Jones and testified to his brutal con duct and also to his kicking a horse in the stomach. Warrants have bien issued for others of the gang, but thus far they have succeeded in avoiding arrest. THE REASON WHY. Some may want to know what mo tive 1 have in publishing the cltyi di rectory and giving the entire profits to our charitable Institutions. First My advertising business hns taken, and kept, me away from home too much. Second By thus publishing the di rector, y, I create employment for my self and many others here at home. Third I increase the available char ity fund, or decrease the burden of necessary charity calls now mado upon our business men; further, I will have assisted (more materially than 1 otherwise could) in making other souls happier, the doing of which will give to me my choice of joys. The parties who will bo asked to dis tribute tho proceeds are: One a bank er, the two others ate loading men In commerce and matters of charity; and tho proceeds will go where they are most needed, regardless of creed, ism or color. Now then, ofllcers and members of charitable Institutions and business men, it Is up to you. Will you give this project your ns ststnncn and support, and thus make it a grand success, and show that it can bo made a permanent annuallty' Subscription prices: Subscriptions mailed to me, J3.E0, which will include having inserted the entire contents! of your business card In one-inch space, single column, under tho first heading that your firm name appears In the business portion of the directory, Advertising prices: $10 per page, tS per M page, $5 per i page.

For patronage that Is solicited in person, the price must bo enough high er to pay for soliciting and Its attend ant expense. I trust that every business person, or firm, in tho city of Scranton 'will send in a subscription, nnd that a great majority of them will mall an order, and copy for it, for space ad vertisements, at once, considering tjiat tho project is to benefit the commun ity In genera, and Its very low cost. W. F. Smythe, Lackawanna Valley Hotel, Rsrantou. Pa. SWEENEY HAD POOR MEMORY WAS STAR WITNESS AT COUN CILMANIO HEARING. Couldn't Remember Whether or Not He Had Ever Given Any Money to Councllmen Drew 8100 from Twenty-first Ward Appropriation and Paid It Over to P. W. Gal lagher Because the Latter Said It Was Hltt Number of Councllmen Placed on Record. Kx-Counollmen Richard ll.Wllllatns, of the Fifth ward, und P. F. McCann, of the Fourteenth ward, were ie arrested on Saturday, at the Instance of the Municipal league on the charge of bribery and were thus made Joint defendants with Councllmen Mclvln, McAndrew, O'Boyle, Coleman and James. Wllllami and McCann, It will be re membered, were not indicted nnd when they entoted into the agreement with the league their cases were still pending In Aldermnn Fuller's court. The agreement, which they entered Into, is said by the league authorities, to havo been different than tho agree ment entered Into by the eleven Indict ed councllmen. The league officials say that McCann nnd Williams agreed to tell all they knew about city hall rottenness nnd that by their falling to do so at Thursday's hearing they violated the agreement nn.l were therefore re-ariestod. As soon as Mr. McCann heard there was a warrant out for his arrest he went Immediately to tho nldcrman'a ofllce and offered ball, but the magis trate refused to accept It saying that he would not take ball until ho was rattened, after h hearing, that the evi dence wart anted his being held for court. SATURDAY'S IfL'AniNG. The henrlng In tho cases was re sumed on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock und the star witness was x Counrllman Morgan Sweeney, now em ployed by the Snanton Railway com pany. He said he was employed by the company to look after Its Interests generally and admitted finally that part of his duty was to look after city hall affairs and .ee that legisla tion unfavorable to the company was staved off. Ho couldn't remember, he said, whether he had paid any money to councllmen on behalf of the Scranton Railway company or whether the com pany had ever given him money to give to councllmen. He wouldn't Hvoar. however, that he had never distributed any money nmong the city fathers. He was asked about a letter which was said to have bean snt him by Select Councilman Melvin while lie was In Atlantic City, -telling him to come home and attend to business a tho Speedway Street railway ordin ance was pending In councils. Swee ney said he destroyed this letter. No money was mentioned, he thought, the letter being merely of a friendly natuie. He was then examined at length re garding a wariant for $100 on the Twenty-first ward appropriation which he received from the city oh May 4. 1809. From the questions nslced by Mr, Torrey, who examined Sweeney, It could be Inferred that the prosecution was endeavoring to prove that P. W. Gallagher, who was Sweeney's prede cessor in the employ of the company, had given Common Councilman Nor ton, of the Twenty-first ward, 5100 to defray the expenses of his election, and that he recovered this by having Sweeney get a bill for 5100 signed by both tho councllmen of the ward and having a warrant for that amount drawn and cashed. DREW THE MONKY Sweeney admitted drawing $100 on a city warrant on the date mentioned, but claimed that it was foil work ac tually done by him on the street ot the Twenty-first ward. He nlsi ad mitted giving tho $100 to Gallagher. He offered no explanation as to why he gave the money to Gallagher, ex cept "that he (Gallagher) said the money was his and I gave It to him." Repeated questions failed to elicit any other answer than "Ho said tho money was his and I took his word for it." Following Morgan came Carl Mc Klnney, who la already under Indict ment on the charge ot bribery. Ho said that he was connected with the Barber Asphalt company at the time the repair contract was pending In councils and that his duty was to se cure sufficient votes to guarantee Its passage. Ho said he never gave any money or other valuable consideration to any councilman for his vote and re peated this assertion a secotid time. Ho said that as a favor to W. W. Scranton he also assisted In securing the passage of the ordinance award ing tho ten-year electric light con tract, but that ho had given no coun cilman any money in connection with it. He had no actual knowledge of any cabal of twelve or fourteen coun cllmen banded together to "milk" any body who wanted to get any measure through councils. The witnesses sworn after Mr. Mc Klnney were ex-Select Councilman T. J. Coyne, ex-Common Councilman M. V. Morris nnd Select Councilman T. C. Melvin. It was apparent that tho league was desirous of nutting these men on record as snylng that no crook- Buy Your Vegetables Now Dinner Party Succotosh, 15c per can.

Mr. Coyne was questioned regarding the celebrated meeting nt the St. Cloud hotel on Feb. 10. Ho said he was there for about fifteen minutes, but denied nny knowledge of a combination of se lect councllmen. Ho stated most em phatically that ho had never received any money for his vote. Detective Harris, he said, had offered him some, but ho did not tako It. Ho admitted that on one occasion he borrowed $200 from General Manager Sllllman, of the Scranton Railway com pany, but he said that this had been paid back and that he had vouchers to prove it. Hx-Councllman M. V. Morris said lie knew T. R. Brooks, but had never re ceived any money from him for his vote on tho telephono ordinance. He did business with the First National bank, but denied ever having mado a deposit of $1,000 In that Institution nt one time. He said he had paid to Charles Robinson two payments of $7b0 and $l,ir3 on his property, nnd had the receipts for the two amounts. Ho knew of no councllmanlc combination. Select Councilman T. C. Melvin knew nothing about any combination of councllmen, either, he said. He said ho had seen E. J. Moloney, of the Cen tral Pennsylvania Telephone company, talking to councllmen In his (Melvln's) hotel. He had also seen councllmen there talking to P. W. Gallagher and Morgan Sweeney. MELVIN WROTE TO SWEENEY. Ho remembered something about hav ing written to Sweeney when the lat ter was In Atlantic City, but not much. If such a letter was written, ho said, It was of a social nature. He had nev er received nny presents ftom the Scranton Hallway company. He re duced u note of $2C0 In February Inst, he said, but denied having re duced his notes $1,000. After Mr. 'Melvln's testimony the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. It Is generally understood that on that occasion the league will ptoduce testimony about the pay-rolU of the Central Pennsyl vania Telephone company, showing the names of a number of councllmen with certain amounts after each. PAPA COMMITTED TO COUNTY JAIL He Is Charged with the Killing of Harry Dnvls In tho Hotel Dewey on Friday Night. Uarnalo Papa, was given a hearing before Mayor Molr Saturday afternoon, chained with tho murder of Harry Davis, In the Dewey hotel, Friday night. Several witnesses were heard, but none could testify to (having seen the rasor lti the hands of the Italian barber. Bartender Frank Rellly, of tho Dewey, testified that ho saw Papa throw his left arm around Davis' neck and make a lunge with his right, but did not see the razor. Harry Mat thews and Henry Hess corroborated this testimony. Harvey Fuhrmau was passing the hotel when Papa made his exit. He saw Papa throw something Into the street. Investigation showed that tint "something" was a blood-stulned razor. Papa was committed to the county Jail to await trial on the charge ot murder. Papa's Interests nt tho hear ing were looked after by Attorney II. L. Taylor. Papa persists that he Is innocent of the crime. Ho admits that he was fighting but will not acknowledge drawing the razor upon Davis. Arthur Davis, of 409 New street, with whom Papa was fighting when Davis Intcrfeired, was fined $3 for being drunk, but the flue was remitted. Coroner Robot ts will conduct an In rniest at S o'clock this evening in tho arbltiatlon room of tho court house. The Tribune has been naked to request all witnesses! to bo present at that time. The Tribune has also been re rjuested to state thnt Harry He3s, one of the eye-witnesses to the murder, Is not the son of the baker by that name. The McDavItt woman, with whom The Tribune said Davis, the murdered man. boarded, was his wife. They were man led some time ago In Wilkes Barre. THE QUARTERLY CONVENTION.

SCHEDULE IS NOT ACCEPTED BARN MEN NOT SATISFIED WITH COMPANY'S OFFER. Alternative Schedule Will Be Pre pared nnd Submitted to General Manager Sllllman Believe They Should Have Same Wages ab the Car Men nnd Mnintnin Thnt They Will Not Accept Anything Less. Long and Spirited Meeting of the Street Car Men's Union. Dissatisfaction Is still existing be tween the Scranton Railway company and Its employes. Ie results mainly from their inability' to agree on the compensation ot the barn hands, but there nre other differences quite as serious, and the chances nre that It will bo some time before thero U ti return of the amity which existed be fore thu strike. When the strike wns declared off, tho matter of the compensation of em ployes of the barn was left for futuro adjudication. Last week u revised schedule of wages granting an In crease In every department was pre pared by Master Mechanic Thomas J. Mullln nnd submitted by General Mali nger Frank Sllllman, Jr., to the union. It was passed upon at a meeting held yesterday morning at Carpenters' hall, Wyoming avenue, at which all tha employes were present nnd, after a discussion which lasted from 4 o'clock till after G, It was decided to reject the offer nnd present an alternative sched ule for tho company's approval. NINETY OF THEM. The barn men are ninety In number and the majority of them aro In the mechanical und engineering depart ment, In which the highest rate ot wages In paid. The rejected schedule Is as follows: llnjii, l'lrit Clas-Mio are tAcn in V.UU the limleHtaitdft g that they arf to he educated prac tically, in street railway motors: Per hour. !r I lii; first je.ir fiijc. for the second year "V.e. for the third year Pe. fur the fourth )cjlT KV. for the fifth year Win: Then they arc to bo furnihed villi u mora inendjtlon dating their qualification as practical street railway workers.

The offer would bo acceptable the men say, but for the wages which It proposes to pay beginners In the me chanical and electrical department. Twelve and one-half cents an hour, they say, is not enough. They believe they should be placed on the same footing ns the car men who are stnrt ed In at 14 cents nn hour and then raised year by year till they receive the mnxlmum of 19 cents. At present thero Is no formnl sched ule of wages fof tho barn men. Roys s-lnrfc In at C cents an hour and are granted Increases according to the pro gress they make, the master mechanic being the judge of their worth. The maximum rate paid In the highest paid department Is 1714 cents. The original demand of tho car men was for 17U cants an hour after tho first year and t!0 cents an hour for the third year nnd every year thereafter. The company officials express keen disappointment at the refusal of the barn men to accept the proffered schedule. They believed It to be fair ond liberal and thnt It would be ac cepted without hesitation. The men say it Is fair enough except In the Item regulating the wages of begin ners In the mechanical and engineering department, and they maintain they will not be content with anything less than what the car men aro leceivlng, 14, If., lfi, I'M, IS and 19 cents, for first six months, second six months, second year, third year, fourth year r.nd fifth year. The executive committee of tho union will present tho alternative shedulo to General Manager Sllllman early this week, nnd another meeting will be culled for next Sunday morning to receive his answer. NOTHING DEFINITE DONE. The matter of protesting against be ing compelled to work with the two car men who continued to work after the stilko was declared was the sub ject of a warm debate, but nothing definite came of It. One of them who quit nfter working tho fltst day of tlia strike Is reported to have agreed to We have many times boasted of the beauty of our neckwear, but never with as great confidence as we b"oast of these but terfly ties.

CASEY BROTHERS, Wholesale Liquor Dealers, 216 Lackawanna Ave. join the union and It is cmlto likely he will be taken In. The other has not showed up for work since the ft! Ike and the men believe ho will not attempt to work. Tho case of former Despatcher Charles Powell nnd that of a. conduc tor who was dlschaigcd a short time before the strike, were aNo discussed, but the union came to tho conclusion that It was not warranted In Interfer ing in either instance. A BOLD ROBBERY. Thieves Made n Rich Haul at Gould's Barn, but Didn't Enjoy It Long. Unknown thieves gained nccess liya window to the batn of A. It. flould & Sons, situated at the rear of 112 Clay avenue, Saturday morning between tho hours of !i and 11 nnd Fecured a rich haul.
