SOME MAY GO TO WORK
There Is a Possibility That Today
May Brinp; Developments in
the Nine Hour Strike.
Today's developments in the strike
situation are expected to be many
and Interesting, as it Is very likely
thai a number of the bollermakers
and blacksmiths out on strike at the
American Locomotive company's shop
on Cliff street will return to work,
chairman Humphrey R. Campbell,
o'f the Metal Trades council, yester
day declared that in his opinion the
bollermakers would not return to
work. The latter met yesterday
morning in Hulbert's ball and heard
the lepori of the Cliff works commit
tee, which waited upon superintend
ent Ueltmey. Nothing was otlicially
given out of the results of this meet
ing, but Chairman Campbell, who was
seen by a Tribune man, smiled a,
smile that was full of meaning and
remniked, "I can say, ttuotllclally, that
the bollermakers are not going back
to work."
A conitnlttce of bollermakers waited
upon Treasurer Chalmers, of the Al-lls-Chalniors
company Saturday after
noon, and asked him on what terms
they could resume work. They were
willing to relinquish some of tholr
original demands. but Chalrniau
Campbell claims that tlio proposition
submitted to them was not satisfac
tory. 1 it regard' to the rcniored in-k-ntlou
of the blacksmiths to resutno
work, he said:
"There ary a few blaeknnlths going
back, but what can they do without
helpers. As for tho machinists, they
have not yet begun to weaken, and
there Is not the least danger of their
going back to work for soiuo time
yet without their demands being
granted,
The striking car builders have re
ceived letters from Ret wick giving
news of tho strike situation there,
and stating that no cars are being
repaired at the shops. A largo num

OPENING OF
TWO ARMORIES
FRIDAY'S EVENT COMPARED
WITH THE ONE IN 1878.
Prominent Scrantontan. Joined with
Four Professional Musicians in
Making Up an Orchestra to Furnish
the Danco Music Local Paper
Made a Big Splurge in Describing
the Event, Devoting All of What
Would Now Make About Two Col
umns of Reading Matter.
There were eighty-two mi'slclans In
the two bands furnishing the $400
worth of music at tho opening of tho
new armory last Friday night. When
the old armory on Adams avenue was
opened, Jan. ,11, I.S78, twenty-three
years ago. tlt'oro wasn't a trombone In
the city of Surnntnn, and It was neces
sary to call upon some of the city's
prominent young amateur musicians
to lilt out an orchestra to play tho
dance music.
Prof. Robert Ratter, who led the In
termission music last Friday night.
with his band of forty-two profes
sional musicians, directed the dance
musk at the opening of the old ar
mory. He and Colonel K. It. Ripple
played first violins. The professor's
brother, Ren R.iuer. now deceased,
played second violin. The lluto
player was Colonel L. A. Watres, now
the commander of the regiment, and
the clarinet player was Samuel Par
ker, the well known manufacturer of
scales and screens. Harry Thomas
and Richard Osborne, who played the
bass violin and cornet, respectively,
were the only professional musicians
In the orchestra, outside of the two
Bauer hoys.
William II. Wolf, of the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western paymas
ter's department, played a cornet;
Kdward Smith, now deceased, for
many years with Powell & Co., played
ii horn: Emory Hill, also deceased,
was the alto player, and Joseph Med
way, formerly superintendent at tint
car shops, played the viola.
Not a. little of the dance music call
ed for a slide trombone. Peranton at
that time did not rejoice in a trom
bone player and theie was no such
thing as a trombone in all the coun
try lound. The consetntenco was that
John I.ongshaw, who was an expert
eorncter, was put to the task of
playing the trombone intiflo on a.
tenor horn. He afterwards got a
sliding trombone and became one nf
the Hist, if not tho very first, trom
bone player In Scranton.
Ptof. Bauer says that when Ihp old
armory was opened there was a gen
eral feeling that it was several slx.es
too big for Scranton and would pos
sibly prove ti while elephant on its
owners' hands. It was not many
years, though, before this four was
dissipated.
WHF.RIJ THEY WKRK IlKI.t).
Dances and similar functions which
had been held in old Cer
iminla ball, the Wyoming House
dining room, the Kiet'er hotel, at the
corner of Penn avenue and Mulberry
stieet, Washington hall, and other
places of that kind which flourished
In those days, were nearly all trans
ferred to tho armory and the local
Musicians were called upon to enlarge
nnd improve their organizations to
keep up witli the demands made upon
them by the frequent big social
events which tho armory encouraged.
As an inMan.''o of how time changes
tilings, Prof. Bauer told that tit the
opening of the old armory, there were
very few round dances. Landers and
quadrilles were all sutllclent to satis
fy tlio eighty sets of dancers who
crowded the old armory floot. At tho
opening of the new armory theie were
onlv two square dances, and many
of thoe who went on tho floor when
the music struck up, found that the
selections tor the different llgurei
would do nicely for n two-step, and,
as a consequence, Jthe (square sHl
were broken up and two-stepping in
dulged In.
Tlie opening of the old armory was,
up to that time the grandest social
event the city bad over seen. The
R'iiiibllcnn of the next day devoted
nearly tluee columns to it. In mod
ern type It would make about two
columns. One man evidently wroto
the whole affair. Last Friday's event
was treated In The Tribune to the
extent of more than a page and a
quarter of solid reading matter. Four
men worked on the story and It was
served to the (nitrons of the ball be
fore l."0 o'clock in tlie morning.

Tlie fifth rull week of Tho Tribune's
Educational Contest came lo an end
on Saturday evening. Thus far the
event has run live-sixteenths of its
complete schedule, The week just
closed was a good one. although not
equal to the preceding one in the num
ber of points scored, but that can prob
ably be accounted for by the fact that
schools were unusually busy and n
number of tlie contestants were get
ting ready for examinations.
Relotv a table is presented sIiowIiik
bow much work each contestant did
every day. Messrs. Lewis and Schwen
ker beat the others out nearly fivefold.
That perhaps will help to explain why
they are- at present llrsl and second
on tho list. Three in the list of lead
ing contestants did not get a point
during the week, vin., W. H. Harris,
D. O. Kuiory and Robert Campbell.
