TROUBLE AT OLD TORGE.
Services of Two Alderman Required
to Strnighten Out Tangles.
The unsettled condition of nu'nlrs
down the valley in tho neighborhood of
Austin Heights and Old Forge was
again demonstrated last night in two
nldermanlc courts. Charges and coun
tercharge were the order of tho even
ing nnd the denizens of Austin Heights
enjoyed themselves immensely In hear
ing one side assailed In Alderman Mil
lar's office and In turn seeking revenge
against their assailants before Alder
man Kasson.
Andrew Ferdo was given a hearing
bsfore Alderman Allllnr on tho charges
of malicious mischief, breaking win
dows, felonious wounding nnd disor
derly conduct. Knto Shifskl Is the pros
ecutrix. She alleges that George cor
rappl and Ferdo were hurling stones
through the windows of tho house and
when she wont out Into the yard to
stop them she was peized nnd ussault
ed by them. Theio Is a wound on her
right arm about three inches long,
which she claims was made by a knlfo
in tho hands of either C'orrnppl or
Fordo.
Corappl was hold under 1300 ball on
each charge by Alderman Miliar Tues
day. Ferdo was likewise held under
$!'00 ball for his appeurunee in court
und tlned $li nnd costs for disorderly
conduct.
At tho conclusion of the hearing at
Alderman Millar's adjournment was
taken to Alderman Knsson's, where
Alike Shefskl, Katie Shlfskl, John Ju
cublsolk and John Uusnyals were ar
raigned by Andrew Ferdo on the
chntge of assault and battery and dis
orderly conduct. Kach were lined $3
for disorderly conduct, In default of
which they were committed to the
county Jail, and discharged on the
charge of assault and buttry.
THAT MORGAN DEAL.
About Ninety-seven Per Cent, of
Stock Has Now Changed Hands.
As yet no formal action has been
taken in tiansferrlng the control of tho
Erie nnd Wyoming Valley railroad and
Pennsylvania Coal companies to the
Hrle Hnllroad company, although It
was expected that by today the new
owneis would be in full pohsenslon.
While, however, there has not been
so far any real transfer of the books or
tho installing of any new oillclals, still
both properties are now le!ng con
ducted practically nominally alone by
the Pennsylvania and Eilo nnd Wyo
ming. Said a pioniluent locnl oinclal of
these companies to a Tribune- ropie
Kentutlve last night:
"Ah r understand it, tho stock bus
pretty well changed hands and about
1)7 per cent, is now In, leaving three
still out. The Moikiiu people are keep
ing very quiet nnd Just whnt they In
tend doing, just what their future
plans ure, none of us know. However,
I think that In a few dajw something
will be doing."

MUST SWALLOW
RIPPER CLAUSE
THAT'S WHAT SENATOR
VAUOHAN THINKS.
J. C.
He Said Yesterday That This City
Can Get Everything . It Wants in
the Way of Second Class City Leg
islation If Its Citizens Agree to
the Ripper Feature The Bill Will
Either Become n Law with That
Clause Attached or Will Not Be
come Lew at All.
The stale seiiatd adjourned inilier un
expectedly on Wednesday night und
Senator J. C Vnughan, of this city,
returned home yesterday. A Tribune
man Interviewed him In his ofllce yes
terday afternoon on the situation at
Harrlsburg regarding the ripper bill for
cities of tile second class and Just
what chanee this city has of securing
amendments favorable to Its Interests.
"1 think t win safely say," said tho
senator, "that If this city will ugree to
swallow the ripper clause of the new
charter it can sccuie whatever
It wunts In the way of changes or
amendment. That's the situation in
a nutshell. The ripper clause Is the es
sential feature of the bill and tlu
feature on which the light will bo
made.
"No matter what we think about tho
principle Involved, the new ehurter Is
either going to become a law with tho
ripper clause attached or It's not going
to become a law at nil. There's no use
in wasting any breath about that part
of the bill at nil. It's Inevitable The
bill rests upon It, and If it falls, tho
bin falls with It.
WHAT STALWAUT.-S S.W.
'1 have been approached by the nu
Jorlly of the stalwutt seuutors, who
have one and all nsked me what tills
city wants In the way of legislation
and who have assured me that the bill
will not go through until such changes
as aru deslied by crnnton have been
made. This was, of course, will) the
Implied understanding thnt we favor
tho ripper clause,
"Senutor Fllnn Is going to light th3
rippor clause to a finish, but he will
realize before he has got very far In
this light that, to use a slang expres
sion, ho'i up against the real thing.
Just wh'ut other featuies of the bill
he's going to oppose f don't know,
nor does any one else. lie's keeping
his counsel to himself. The air down
there Is full of compromise Just now,
but there will be no compromise on the
ripper clause.
"The conference which was at ranged
for tonight between tho city solicitors
of Pittsburg, AlleKheny and Scranton
has been postponed until tiiixt Tuesdny
night, and on Wednesday tho hearing
before the committee on municipalities
will be had.
"Delegations are going down from
tho Pittsburg and Allegheny councils
and from the boards of trade of both
these cities. I would suggest the wis
dom of having the councilmnnlo com
mittee, tho board of trade committee
und any of tills city's prominent citi
zens who are Interested in securing
changes In the charter which will
meet the needs of this city going down
theie und siieaklng for thse changes
before the committee.
THEY MUST AOH1JK.
"Whoever goes down there, however,
should go down agreed upon certain
changes. There must bo a united sen
timent In favor of certain amend
ments or everything will full flat. One
section mustn't go down und talk In
favor of one thing anil be followed by
another coctlon with views diametri
cally opposed. If differences of opin
ion exist they must be wiped out be
foie the representatives of this city
appear before the committee."
"What do you think the committee
will do with tho bill?" asked the re
porter. The senator smiled us he replied;
"It's a state secret, but there isn't
an out and out Insurgent on the com
mittee. They'll report the ripper clauso
favorably and If we agree to support
it they'll icport our amendments fa
vorably. I'm not Inclined to the be
lief that the Pittsburg councllmaulo
committee will get much of a show."
Chairman Chittenden, of the ooun
cllmnnlc committee, said that as far as
ho knew I he committee would not go
down to Harrlsburg. Ho favored hav
ing City Solicitor Vosburg go down and
speak for tho amendments before tho
committee.
"Tho councilmanic committee," said
he, "after a deal of trouble has agreed
upon certain amendments, but there
are many points in tho bill which ura
still left open and upon which the
members of the committee could never
(tgiee. Especially Is this true of tho
provision logardlng the election of
councilman nnd piovidlng for a change
In the ward lines every ten years by

2,000 or 'more ltepublican voters.
"That's unjust and unfair, but the
Democrats can bo counted upon to op
pose any plan which will make a re
casting of the ward lines nn ucluullty.
They even go so far In some of tho
wards as to prevent a Republican from
serving on the election boards, as re
quired by law. Inasmuch us we huvo
agreed upon the ninudmenls which
we have, nnd especially this particular
one, I think It would be folly for us
as n commlttco to go down there.
"We would be sure to gat Into u
wrangle us to what we really do want
and tho tesult would probably be, ns
the senator suggests, that we wouldn't
!wt anything like what wn want. I, for
one, don't want to go to Harrlsbur
nnd I hope tho other members of the
committee feel tho sumo wav."
As a further indication of the truth
of Mr. Chittenden's assertions it
might be mentioned that Councilman
Luther Keller, who Is n member of
tho committee, Is opposed to ono of tho
amendments which lie himself favored
last Tuesday night. That Is the amend
ment which makes the continuation

that the mayor should have full power

door for a whole lot of irregularities.
You place the head of a department
in a position where he will use evciy
possible effort to control the votes of

tion of tho pattonage of his oflico and
to pave the way for such a thing Is en
tirely wrong."
The municipal atrniis committee of

DR. LANSING'S TALK
ON ALPINE GLACIERS
A Most Interestiug and Giaphic Lec
tin e Delivered Last Night nt the
Elm Park Church.
l!t. Di. lsn uc J. Lansing, pastor ot
the Giccu Itldge Piesbyterlan church,
gave n most Interesting lecture, abound
ing In graphic word pictures, Inst night
In the Sunday school mom of the Kim
Paik church, his theme being "An
American on the Highest Alpine Glac
iers." Tho lectin e was an account ot a
walking tour, among the Swiss alps,
made by the doctor and a fellow
clergyiium some few yeais ngo. He de
scribed simply, yet eloquently, the tie
inendous and awe-Inspiring grandeur
of the alpine scenery, and told of tho
beauties of the low-lying valleys nnd
the snow-covered peaks, which seemed
to kiss the sky.
Tho doctor explained that while ho
reached at times to very high altitudes,
he never attempted to climb any of tho
great lienlts, because his head became
f Immediately dizzy as soon ns he got In
a dangerous place. His friend, how
ever, took greater rihks and ascended
to tho summit of Alounl Ho&t, which Is
13,000 feet high.
Tho doctor devoted n largo part of
tho lecture to a description of the
glaciers over which he and his friend
passeil on their way to northern Italy.
Tho glaciers, he said, aro what may lie
culled Ico rivers. They are fanned from
tho masses of snow which slide down
fiom tho sides of the mountains. These
become compressed Into Ice and the
generally accepted tlieoiy of glacial ac
tion, he snld, Is that It Is caused by tho
constant pressuie of the snow as It
keeps tumbling down tho mountain
sides.
At any rate, tho glaciers do move,
slowly but irresistibly. Tho average
speed of this movement has boon esti
mated ns being twenty-four Inches a
day In the ceutie and eighteen Indies
on the sides. Tho glacier over which
he and his friend passed was about
fifteen miles long and four miles wide.
"There Is nothing In this woild so
stupendously beautiful to me." said he,
"as a glacier full. By that I moan
where tjie glacier tumbles over a high
declivity and continues on Its course.
People rnvo over Niagara FnlK when
they see them fiozen over, but Niagara
Falls ate only 173 feet high nnd a few
hundred feet acros-s.
"What Is that sight coiiip.ucd to a
glacial fall three-quartern of a mile
high und several miles wide, it Is the
grandest sight In nature. Not ten
Niagaras, or even a storm at sea. can
equal It."
Ho described bis deseent Into Italy,
in,!i(0 feet down the side of the glacier,
with his friend, tho guide and hiinsolt
all tied together with a tight rope. Tn
conclusion, lie said that his mind often
times goes back to the wonderful beau
ties of the nips and that by his ro
meinbiunco of their glories there is en
kindled In his heart a deeper love for
Him who made them alt.

STRIKE AT
FOUR MILLS
CLOSING DOWN OF SILK FAC
TORIES CONTINUES.
Employes of the Big Snuquolt Mill
Yesterday Joined the Strikers from
the Klots, Bliss and Harvey Mills.
An Agreement Was Atrived nt
Yesterday Which It Was Thought
Endod the Trouble nt the Harvey
Mill, hut It Seems This Is Not the
Case A Meeting- Today.
The levelopincutK yienlu would
Indicate Hint n tie-up of about all tho
silk mills In this regions Is a possibil
ity of the very near future If the strlko
fever continues to grow as It has dur
ing tho week.
The strike at Hnivey Bros.' silk mill,
on Washington avenue, which was de
clined Wednesday afternoon, was.
It is said, amicably settled at
n meeting between the tlnce
rundied employes and the pro
piictois of the mill ut a matting held
yesterday morning. It was given out
that they would return to work this
ntoinlng. Al. D. Flaherty, of the Cen
tral Labor union, snid Inst nlRht that
the gltl would not return this morn
inc. Tho strike fever among silk mill help
has spread, however, and Wednesday's
actions of the Harvey silk workers re
sulted In between four and five hun
dred glils employed by the Snuquolt
Silk Alanufneturing company yester
day quitting work, and last night the
oillclals of the latter company antici
pated a general strike, as It Is not
likely that the minority of hands will
bold out against tho will of tho major
ity, who seem In lnvor of u strike.
Besides those two notable Instances,
strikes have also been declared by the
employe nt Valentine Bliss' silk mill
In North Peiunton and the Klots
Throwing company's plant In North
Soruntoii. The latter was the first com
pany to i eel the strike agitation, and
over n hundred hands are now out nnd
the mill idle. The Klots ofucials claim
that the wages paid the girls In their
employ have always been fair nnd Just,
and no more can be done for litem
than they have always enjoyed
I1L1SS T.AIPI.OYHS.
The llllss employes went out c.ulv
this week. At Harvey Bros.' mill the
liuudswelit out Wednesday nnd a meet
ing was arranged for yesettday morn
ing. Higher wages was tho solo com
plaint or the strikers, and this was ef
fectually overcome. The now scale of
wages offered und accepted Is practic
ally tho same as that declared effect
ive, February 4. by the Sauqtiolt com
pany. The latter, appiehenslw of the grow
ing pro-strike feeling, yesterday morn
ing declared a voluntary raise of wages
to all the hands. This advance amount
ed to an average of about eight per
cent., and covered all tho departments.
No formal requests had been made
by the employes for an increase in sal
ary, and Superintendent Davis and tho
other company official" believed that
the offeied increase would effectually
ward off any Impending trouble. Tho
notices showing tho ratio ot advance
were posted In all tho departments,
but nevertheless nt noon the strike ar
rived. About two hundred and fifty
girls, between the ages of thirteen and
sixteen years, loudly nnnotiuced their
intention to stop woik, and nfter their
lunch refused to return to work.
CONTINUED TO LEAVE.
These girls were from various de
partments, doublets, splmiets, etc. Dur
ing the .if tot noon there was n continu
ous stream of git Is leaving the build
ing und by evening the only depart
ment untouched was the one in which
tho weaving tnJtes place, in this lat
ter are employed five hundred of the
older nnd moio skilled help. Tho wages
earned here by the aveiage worker run
from $5 to $S a wool;, and tho majority
of the weavers nre perfectly satisfied.
Whether or not they will have the
courage to hold out against (he per
suasions or (hreats of tho sdlkcts re
mains yet to be seen. Altogether there
nie between thliteen hundredand four
teen bundled bands at the mill, und
all of these may be out today.
Superintendent D.ivls said to a Trib
une man yesterday:
"In tho event of all tho bauds going
out today and we can not get Immedi
ate help, we will, of course, have to
clove tho mill for awhile. However, t
can frankly say that tho company will
make no more concessions. .We have
always been fair In our dealings with
our people, und the raise we granted
them was given without any demands
or supplications of any sort.
"The younger, more Inexperienced
gtiis seem to bo. tho agitators In (bis
trouble, and don't seem particularly
clour as to their grievances. No scale
has been proposed, nnd I merely at
tribute this strike to a sympathy feel
Jng, now that all the silk mills nre
having trouble. I know, fur my part,
thnt a uunibot of the girls hire are
striking ugalnst their own will."

Satiqunlt officials varies In the differ
ent departments, and is graded uccoid
lug to ability and In some cases ac

others receiving higher wages receive

month's pay ends Saturday, und (he
new scale would go Into effect Atou
day. The fact that some of the gills were
ulready tiring of their hnsty action was
evidenced yesterday afternoon, when
two of them, lioth very young, were
brought back by their mother, who
requested Superintendent Davis to put
them back at their work, both girls
signifying their willingness. Thioiigh
out the afternoon a knot of girls con
tinued wultlng about tho factory, greet
Ing with cheers of delight all recruits
to their number nn they left their
work. Howls of derision and cries ot
"scab" greeted nil those who remained
nt work, and volleys of opprobrious re
mnrks were directed thioughout, the
afternoon ut the windows of the fourth
floor, wheie the Industrious weavers
remained.
This is tho Hi ju su Ike at the San
