Over Five Thousand Forsons At-
tonded tho Annual Excursion of

Over five thousand persons went to
Lake I.odore yesterday on the Grocers'
ecuislon.
This Is an event that Is yearly looked
forward to with much anticipation by
the business men of the city In gen
eral, but tho Groceis In particular. A
great percentage-of the business houses
of the city were closed yesterday and
the business man went to tho lake
with his family nnd his clerks.
It was n great, good-natured crowd
that enjoyed the pleasures that I.o
dore offered during the day. The ex
cursionists used the boats, glided
mound the lake on the graceful nap
tha launches, danced, and listened to
the selections played by Rauer's band
and ate and drank great quantities of
the bountltul supply of lefieshments
which the Faddcn brothers had sup
plied for tho throng. No one need go
dry or hungry for lack of entertain
ment at Lodore yeatetdaj'.
During tho day, various contests
were decided and pilzes awarded. The
fortunate ones wore:

MORE TROUBLE
IS IN SIGHT
STATIONARY FIBEMEN
HAVE THEIR TURN.
TO
If Their Demand for an Eight
Hour Day Without Decrease of
Pay Is Not Granted by Fivo
O'Oloek This Afternoon Thoy Will
Strike That Was tho Decision Ar
rived at at tho Mooting of tho Firo
men of tho Valloy Hold Last
Night.
Upwards of 223 stationary firemen
from the various boroughs, all the way
from Korcst City to Scranton, decided
last night at a meeting held In O'Mat
ley's hall. North Scranton, to ratify
tiie action taken by the convention at
Wllkes-Rarre on Sundpy. In dcclailng
a genernl strike, to take effect today.
The meeting was conductetl under the
nusplces of Local union, No. f0, nnd
was addressed by Ftale President J. V.
Mullahy, ot Kingston, and State Sec
retary nnd Treasurer .lames A. Ger
rlty, of Plttston. Their remarks were
enthusiastically received, and the vote
In favor of ratifying tho stilko order
was unanimous.
It was decided to order nil firemen
out today at all places where tho de
mand has not been granted, and to
place 5 o'clock this afternoon n the
time limit for obedience to this order.
DEMAND MADE.
Tho demand made by the f remen Is
for nn eight-hour day without a reduc
tion in the present scale of wages,
which averages about $1.72 for a day
averaging twelve houts, the day shift
working ten houts and the night shift
working fourteen. This demand wns
formulated it a convention held on
June 15, and was piesented to nil the
coal companies nnd a number of the
other large concerns throughout tho
st'ite employing stationary firemen.
At the convention held on Sunday
last, unfavorable responses weie re
ceived from tho officials of nil the coal
companies In the anthracite region nnd
from a majority of tho other companies
upon whom the demand wns made.
The strike order was then forthcoming.
In this alley thcte are about MO
stationary firemen, who will go out to
day, according to President Mullahy.
The, vast majority of these are em
ployed nt the collieries of tho com
panion mining anthracite coiil n thin
valley. The stationary firemen em
plojed nt the mills, by the street rail
way compnnles nnd In and around huge
buildings are expected to strike also,
where they are not now working eight
hours, but the strike Is to be essen
tially a strike of firemen employed nt
the mines. There weie none but mine
firemen present at last night's meeting.
WIDESPREAD EFFECT.
The ofllceifi of the association appear
to be confident that the strike will re
sult In the shutting1 down of the ma
jority of the mines throughout the an
thracite legion and the conseeiuent
throwing out of employment of over
a bundled thousand miners, drivers,
laborers, etc.
They maintain that tho lit emeu's as
sociation has been promised and will
receive the heari;' support of the Unit
ed Mine Wnrkets of America, and that
the companies will bo unable to 1111 the
places of tho utrfkcrs with mcmbeis of
that organization. They maintain,
further, that If non-union men are se
cured the mine workers will lefuse to
work In the mines while they aie em
ployed, "I feel confident," said President Mul
lahy to a Trlbuno man last night, "that
tho mine workers will stand by us In
this light to ,i man, nnd that the com
panies will have a hard job i tinning
their collieries If they persist in refus
ing our demands. We are beginning
thlfl strike under most auspicious cir
cumstances, and I feel sure that wo
will be successful." The llremen con
tend that they will nlso have the sup
port of the englneets In their struggle,
and maintain that the latter will ic
fusc to do any lit lug.
A mass meeting of firemen will be
held this morning at 9 o'clock In O'Mal
ley's hall, whore strike headquarters
are to be established.

Mis
takes. The most careful
men sometimes mike
mistakes. The most
experienced lawyer
may err in his opin
ion. 1 here are many aeiecis in
titles which no amount of skill or
care on the lawyer's part could de
tect. There is no guarantee that
the opinion of a lawyer Is a correct
one, or that the title is free from,
these elusive delects, A title insur
ance policy gives absolute protec
tion against fraud, errors ot judg
ments and mistakes of fact.
