MACHINISTS' MAKE
NINE-HOUR DEMAND
retitiou Presented by Employes or
Cnrbondolc Machine Company,
Embodying Demands of Union
Hands Answer Awaited from
President Trautwoln Hendricks
Employes to Make Same Demand.
The employes of the Cnrbondalc Ma
chine company have tukon a position
.similar to the union machinists In
Scranton and have presented a de
mand for the nine-hour day, also for
other concessions which the men be
lieve are duo them.
Yostordav afternoon about an Hour
before quitting; time. I. 11. Colvln. W.
,. Smith, Anthony Roe nnd John Eow
Is. selected from anions the employes
or the shop, presented a petition slpned
by all or the men In the company's
employ and cmbodylni? the demands
of the men. which were as follows:
A nine-hour day. as demanded by
the union of machinists.
Time for extra work to bo reckoned
.k follows: One and a quarter time
lor all time up to midnight: time and
a half for work after midnight, and
time and a half for all Sunday work.
The petition was presented to Vice-1-esldent
Hlller. Mr. Hlllcr said the
.imiiany could not be committed to
v. hat lie would say. but that It was
hi.1, private opinion that his company
v otild probably follow the example of
the other shops throughout this re
gion. In this respect It might bo said
that the Dickson company has already
Pledged Itself to the nine-hour day.
Mr. IUIler finally told the men that
the company's answer would be made
Known so soon as I'resldenl. Traut
woln returned from Chicago and could
have an opportunity to consider the
men's retltion.
It can lie said that there Is no dis
satisfaction among the employes of
the C'arbondale Machine company, the
1 urpose of the move for a. nine-hour
day being to bring the shop's employes
In line with like mechanics throughout
this section.
There is not a suflicicnt number of
machinists among the employes at the
C'arbondale Machine company's shop to
effect a union of desirable strength, so
all of the employes of the shops, titters,
etc., were included In the petition of
yesterday.
The employes of the Hcndrick Manu
facturing company are circulating a
similar petition.

DR. GILDIS' AFFLICTION.
He Is Suffering; from a Dangerous
Purulent Opthnlmin History of
the Case.
Dr. flillis. among the foremost of
Carbondale's medical men. Is sorely af
flicted with a purulent opthalmia.
AVhllo affections of this character arc
dangerous even in their mildest form,
yet Dr. Fletcher, who has charge of
his brother physician's case, is hope
ful that no serious results will follow
the tumble. This must be said fpiull
lledly. however, for cases of this char
acter, as has been stated before, are
exceedingly dlfllcult lo manage.
Yesterday Dr. Mears, a specialist
from Scranton, was called in consul
tation. Ho confirmed tlie diagnosis, and
his judgment as to treatment was iden
ical with the attending physician. Dur
ing Dr. Mears' visit the eyelids of the
right eye, tlie affected organ, were
closed tightly, because of the conges
tion, and to relieve Dr. tiillis there was
a slit made nt tho corner of the eye.
The affection of Dr. Gillls is due to
the eye becoming infected from ti min
ute qnuntlty of pus Hying into the or
gan one day about a week ago, while
operating on a patient at tlie hospital.
The doctor was lancing an abscess,
and just as he made the opening the
pus llew directly into his light eye. He
tool; the necessary means to avert any
possible trouble, and the matter gave
blni no trouble until Frlduy of last
week, when signs of septic poisoning
manifested themselves, and the ease
continued to develop until It reached
Its present condition.
The hundreds nf friends of Dr. Cilllis
earnestly wish for his complete recov
ery. The news of his affliction has
caused many a pang of regret.

PLANS LAID FOR
CAPTURE OP G0BB
Chief McAntlrew Hopeful of Outwit
ting the Fugitive and Effecting
His Capture Within a Few Days.
Injured Men Continue to Improve.
Ncary Goes Home Today.
Nathan Cobb, the escaped assailant
of Constable Ncary nnd Dompsey and
Msborn, Is proving n shrewd and adtolt
dodger of tho police department of this
city, but If the plnnr laid for his cap
ture do not miscarry, and there Isn't
any reasonable fear thai they will,
then the fugitive will not be til largo
much longer.
It Is not only suspected, but it Is
known to be a fact, that Cobb Is In
nreeiilleld township, hiding In tho
refuge which was thrown open to him
l.y bis friends or relatives after h!
leached them at the end of his event
ful lllglit during tho lonely hours of
Tuesday morning. He was seen In
tirccullcld on Tuesday and was also
spied there m Wednesday and by per
sons who knew blni, and could not bo
mistaken In his Identity. While his
hiding place could be located, yet for,
prudential reasons Chief MeAndiow la
constrained to leave Cobb unmolested
for a lew days at least. The chief,
howevr, is not worried over Cobb not
being apprehended, for he in willing to
hide his time and forsees no reason
foi the plans that have boon set afoot
to miscarry. If Cobb Is no! within jail
dooss Inside of a few days, or If nf.
least his arrest has not been effected.
then there will be some greatly siir
prNeil police olliclals 111 this city.
Stories have reached t'hlct' McAndiew
dally since Monday night that. Cobb
has been at his lonely hut every day
since the murderous assault. This has
lien amusing news to the chief for no
one has kept close surveillance of the
miserable dwelling of the aged hermit.
II was really funny therefore when
yesterday Osborne one of the wounded
men came along and meeting Chief
McAndrew, who was conversing with a
lew friends on Main street. Informed
him. and with an earnestness that be
spoke bis sincere belief, that Cobb was
down at bis lonely quarters, and had
been thereat Intervals ever since .Mon
day night.
The chief's face was overspread with
an amused smile, but desiring to test
Osboi-n's knowledge, he assumed a
serious face and said with becoming
gravity:
"Aie Von certain. Osburu, that it was
Cobb whom you saw'.'"
"Am I sure," answered Osborne., al
most eonleinplously, "am I sure? Well,
if it's not Cobb, Ihon It's his own
brother, for didn't 1 see him with my
own eyes'.' and haven't I been looking
at him for these sixteen or seventeen
years'.'"
When Hie chief, however, informed
Osborn that he knew a man had been
in charge of the hut and enclosure since
Cnbl) abandoned the place, taking care
of the stock there, Osborn was willing
lo admit that perhops he was in error,
as he observed the man only from a
distance and could have mistook hhu.
Osborn said he was feeling ImpHtived,
but that he was slightly sore and stiff
fr-.m bis wounds. The wound in his
sid, which is .severil inches deep, has
not begun to heal yet and has to bo
carefully tieated each day, the opening
being filled with aiitlsoptk gauze to
prevent septic poisoning.
Dempsoy continues to Improve and It
was stat"d at the hospital yesterday
that lie would be able to leave for his
home quite likely before Monday.
Constable Neary will leave tho hos
pltut some time to-day. He had his
mind sot on going to his home on fcjoulli
Main street yesterday, but lie was per
suaded by the hospital surgeons to re
main at least another day.
BURNED BY LIVE WIRE.
William Sheffield, of Simpson, Meets
with Mishap at Silk Mill.
William Sheffield, of Simpson, is al.
Kmorgeney hospital, where he was re
ceived on Wednesday for treatment for
badly burned hands, the result of com
ing In contact with the business end of
a poorly insulated electric light wire.
Sheffield met with the mishap at the
old silk mill, where he was called to
make some repairs to the roof. The
wire that caused all of the mischief
nnd harm was dangling in his way,
and looked harmless enough to be
handled. Unfortunately, it was n high
ly charged electric light wire, one
callable of terrible destruction, and
still more unfortunately, it was poorly
Insulated, and when Sheffield, uncon
scious of danger, grasped the copper
stiaud, the destructive current seared
Ills ilcsh and caused him to yell out in
awful agony. Ho was terribly shocked
and had a narrow escape from an
awful fate
At tho hospital the painfully burned
hands worn annoiuted and carefully
dressed, and the patient was uppiecl
uhly relieved.
