LUMBER SUIT IS SETTLED.
Basis of Amicable Adjustment Is
Agreed Upon.
The parties to the Cherry nivcr
Hoom and Lumber company suit have
agreed upon it, basis for an nmlcnble
adjustment of their dispute.
The defendants agree to give the
plaintiffs a 60 days' option on nil the
Cherry Vnllley stock nt par.
If tho plaintiffs do not take advan
tage of the option, the defendants are
to buy the plaintiffs' stock nt 150 and
return to Messrs. Council, Jones and
Simpson the bonus paid on tho dis
puted stock.
This, It Is claimed by the plaintiffs,
Is n practical admission on tho pnrt
of the defendants that tho contention
of the plaintiffs was Incontrovertible.
TALKED WITH THE RECORDER
La Franco Engine Man Wants the
Truck Accoptod.
The representative of the La France
Knglne company, of Klmlta, N. Y had
;i long Interview with Vtocordcr Cou
ncil yesterday, with reference to the
hook and ladder truck which tho com
pany built for the city.
The recorder explained to him that,
tinder the existing condition of affairs,
the city cannot accept tho truck or
recognize the contract of the company.
From present Indications time will
have to work out the solution of the
difficulty.
APPEALS MADE EASIER.
Number of Petty Disorderly Con
duct Cases May Be Lessened
by a New Law.
Local attorneys, nldcrmen and po
lice magistrates arc Just now discuss
ing nn act of assembly which was
passed nt the last session of the legis
lature, but which escaped their at
tention up to a few days ago, when
It was discovered by an attorney who
had a case to which it could be ap
plied. The act Is Intended to prevent the
vast amount of petty disorderly con
duct cases which ate brought under
the general net of 1895. It provides
that an appeal may be taken by the
defendant In -such cases, If found
guilty, to the court of quarter sessions
upon tho defendant giving security in
double the sum of the costs ami line.
t'nder tho act of 1805 nn appeal
could bo petitioned for in such cases
until the alderman had been paid the
full amount of the lino and costs. The
effect of tho new act Is to render the
taking of an appeal more easy. This
will lcsiilt In the discouraging of a
large number of would-be prosecutors,
It Is believed, who would not desire
to go to tho expense of taking their
case up to a higher court.
Tho number of summary convictions
by aldermen in this city for disorder
ly conduct has been phenomenally
largo since tho passage of the act of
ISM, nnd the money collected In lines
ftom defendants In such cases would
approximate a very large sum. In
a very large number of Instances
where Information is lodged charging
assault and battery, the charge of
disorderly conduct Is also Included.
If the defendant is found guilty by the
alderman, he Is held to bail on tho
assault and battery charge and fined
on the charge of disorderly conduct,
the lines averaging generally about $5.
Alderman Kasson, of tho Ninth
ward, who had not heard of tho pas
sage of this act until a few days ago,
saiil yesterday afternoon In discussing
it with a Tribune man:
"I'm very glad that this act has
been passed. It's something that has
been needed ever since the act of 1805
was put upon the statute books, nnd
1 sincerely hope that It will have the
effect of doing away with these little
petty disorderly conduct cases, very
few of which, to my mind, have suffi
cient merit to be considered by an
alderman at all.
"The prosecutions are generally ac
tuated by spite and a desire to get
even with some person with whom the
prosecutor Is at odds. How often do
wo hear the defendants say, when
they leave the coutt, pointing to the
prosecutor, 'I'll have you soaked to
morrow.' The whole desire of the ma
jority of tho prosecutors In disor
derly conduct cases Is to have an
enemy 'soaked.' A loud word spoken
or some other ttlvlal thing Is taken
as a pretext for the bringing of the
case and under the sweeping provis
ions of tho net of ISM a conviction
can generally be secured.
"If this new act will have the effect
of putting a stop to this sort of thing
It will bo a good thing for the com
munity. I do not hesitate to say that
In my opinion the majority of dis
orderly conduct cases width are
brought to our attention as aldermen
have not sufficient merit to bo con
sidered for a minute."

MORE STRIKERS
ARE TO RETURN
ALL MACHINISTS HAVE NOW
GIVEN UP THE FIOHT.
Allis-Chalmors Men nnd the Others
Who Were Holding Out Docldo
That It Would Be Useless to Con
tinue tho Struggle and Voto to Ro
turn to Work Today Employers
Refused to Take Them Back in n,
Body Car Builders Aro Still
Standing Firm.
As was expected since Monday, nnd
an could be gathered from yesterday's
Tribune, the striking machinists of the
Allls-Chalmets company nnd the Klncli
Manufacturing company gave up the
fight Tuesday. Yesterday morning they
met and formally called tiff the strike.
Tuesday afternoon's meeting decided
tho question. Nothing would be given
out as to what was done, but It was
generally understood after tho meeting
that those tlll temnlnlng on strike,
numbering nearly nine hundred, had
concluded It would be futile to further
continue the struggle, under the exist
ing conditions.
Adjournment was made until yester
day morning, with a view of making a
final effort to secure some little conces
sion, so that the strike would not be a
total failure.
The meeting convened and commit
tees were sent to Interview the differ
ent employers. Superintendent Mc
Laren, of the Allls-Chaltners company,
was asked If he would reinstate tho
old employes In a body. He said he
could not promise to do this, as he was
not nblo to say off-hand that there
uould be places for all the old employes
at the outset, and again, It was not
possible for him to deal with them as
a body, In view of the manner In which
they went out. which, he held, was a
violation of their contract.
OPEN TO THE OLD HANDS.
The works were open to the old
men, he said, nnd if they returned ns
individuate it was very likely nil
would be given employment.
Tho Klncli Manufacturing company
gave a somewhat similar answer, add
ing, however, that there might be a
few of the old employes whom tho
company would deem It Inexpedient to
re-employ.
Tho tenor of the repot ts made by
tho committees convinced the strikers
that they would bo given back their
pluccs, nnd It was decided to notify
the employers they would leturn to
work the next morning. Today will
see practically all of tho strikers back
at wotk.
The last, of tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western striking machin
ists, those who weto out nt Buffalo,
also returned to work yesterday. The
action of their Scranton brethren de
cided them. They were all, or neatly
all, taken back.
Tho car builders aro still on strike
nnd apparently as determined as ever
to light it. out to a llnlsh. They say
the return of the machinists will have
a good effect on tho struggle, ns It
will enable the labor unions In tho
territory affected to concentrate their
efforts. Tho national president, Al
bert Klsh, of Huffalo, telegraphed ho
would be hero tomorrow. It was
claimed at the car Stops that seven
strikers leturned tn work yesterday.
Tho strikers deny tlitsv
CANK1 ELD'S STATEMENT.
Master Car Hullder Canflld said yen
tcrday that a large nunioer of new men
from Scranton and vicinity aro being
employed, and are proving themselves
excellent workmen, Ho further says
that the Buffalo shops now has Its full
complement of men, and If the strikers
there offered to return In a body, he
could not find place for a single one of
them.
There are very few Imported men
still remaining about the Lackawanna
shops. Two carloads of Greeks, who
were supplied by some New York pad
tone, went away yesterday afternoon.
The bunks and bedding they had been
using in Hotel do PaintShop were
thrown down the cinder bank. It was
the intention to mnke a bonfire of them,
but the foreign colony on South Wash
ington avenue flats wouldn't hear to
this. Women nnd children made an on
slaught on the pile nnd there wasn't ns
much as a feather loft for the bonfire.
HERRITY WAS ASSAULTED.
Ho Was Knocked Down by Owen
Thatcher Yesterday Morning.
A young man named Patrick Hcr
lity, while wnlklng along lower Lacka
wanna nvenuo early yesterday morn
ing, was brutally assaulted ns he was
passing by tho Delaware and Hudson
station by a tough-looking Individual
named Owen Thatcher, apparently a
stranger In town.
Hcrrlty claims that the assault was
entitely unprovoked and says that tho
force of Thatcher's onslaught knocked
him down. Ho cried for assistance
and Thatcher ran behind the station
but was Anally captured by the police,
hiding under a freight car. He was
committed to tho county Jail yester
day morning by Magistrate Howe In
default of ball.
MRS. KASSEL STILL MISSING.
Searching Parties Unable to Get Any

Mrs. Mary Kassel, of Jessup, who
a week ago went Into the mountains

MAY ABANDON THE MINE.
Nothing Dono Toward Cleaning Up
Cave at Bull's Head.
Nothing was done yesterday nt the
Bull's Head colliery towards clearing
up after the extensive cnve-ln of
Tuesday, and there Is n possibility
that the mine may bo abandoned by
Its present owners, Messrs. Whltcford
nnd Burr, who arc paid to bo seriously
considering this question,
The cave-In covers such a large
area directly at the foot of tho shaft
that the work of preparing the mine
for wotk ngaln would, It Is said, be
exceedingly costly, nnd this fact may
lend to Its abandonment. Nothing
definite has ns yet been decided upon,
however, rcgatdlng this. Thcio was
no spread of the cave yesterday.
BREAKING OF A ROPE.
It Caused a Twonty Ton Stool Girder
to Fall.
A twcntv-lon steel girder which was
being hoisted to the third Mory of
tho now Young Men's Christian As
sociation building, fell yesterday with
a crash that could be heard for a
block.
There were a number of workmen
engaged In hoisting tho girder, but
fortunately none of 'them were In
jured. Tho breaking of a rope caused the
accident.
HOT SPELL TO CONTINUE
Today Will Bo Warmer Than Yes
terday, According to Observer
Clarke No Rolief in Sight.
If the weather bureau Is to be be
lieved, Scranton Isjn for a continued
hot, dry spell, not much less Intense
and protracted than that which tho
west and southwest Is experiencing.
According to Weatherman Clarke,
there Isn't a thing in sight, even from
n view ntop tho big Connell building,
that gives any promise of a let-up In
the present conditions, nnd the most
reliable symptoms of Increased temper
atuie are apparent on nil sides.
Tuesday's comparatively moderate
weather was not duo to any weaken
ing on the part of Old Sol. The low
pressure that had been sweeping from
the, south gave way for a day to a de
scending drift of ntmosphere, or a high
pressure, ns It Is technically called,
and "slightly cooler" was accordingly
recorded.
It wasn't, however, as cool as It
seemed to be. The thermometer wns
pretty steady during the middle period
of the day, and nt one time it was up
to M.
The seeming coolness was due to the
invigorating effect of tho high pressute.
At a period of low pressure the air we
get moves along the earth, while nt a
period of high pressure the air conies
fresh and raiilied ftom up heaven-way.
Our low pressure air generally has a
northerly tit If t. This means that be
fore wo get a chance to breathe It or
have It fan us, It has passed over the
southern states, Hani-sburg nnd
Wllkes-Barre, where It, In turn, be
comes heated, polluted and given de
pressing tendencies.
Yesterday was extremely depressing,
the high pressure of Tuesday being
quickly followed by a northerly drift
of a very sluggish character. In addi
tion to all this, the day secured a mark
ing of 01 In the early afternoon. This
was on top of the Connell building In
a shaded box. at that. Down on the
street, where the sun's rays worked
both wa, direct and by radiation, It
was easily 06.
Today will bo warmer, Mr. Clarke
says. Just how much warmer it will
be, he could not say with any degree of
certainty, but that It will be some
warmer he was quite certain. The hot
spell, he says, will not abate much, If
any, this week.
m
HE FELL DOWN STAIRS.
Carl Gould, of Emmett Street, Seri
ously Injured.
Carl Gould, of Emmet street, was
found yesterday morning lying un
conscious at the foot of the stairs at
Ills home. He was taken to the Lack
awanna hospital, where he was found
to bo suffering from a fractured hip
and right arm.
Ho says he was awakened from his
sleep by some one apparently calling
him In distress, nnd that ho stumbled
us ho started down stairs.
LACKAWANNA CASES. "

Yesterday was another day when
there was no change In the positions
of the contestants In Tho Tribune's
Educational Contest. The young men
and women who are working earnestly
for tho valuable special rewards of
fered have been very close together
for more than a week, but there has
been no change since last Friday,
when Miss Vlda Pedrlck, of Clark's
Summit, succeeded In passing August
Brunner, of Carbondale, nnd secured
eighth place. Since then Mr. Brunner
has secured enough points to tie with
Miss Pedrlck, but has been unable to
pass her, nnd for the second morning
In succession each appears with nlnc-ty-flvc
points.
The Tribune Is asked nearly every
day If some of the contestants are
not holding back points. We have
no knowledge that points nre being
held by any one. ns wo have received
no complaints from subscribers who
have taken The Tribune through the
contestants and not received their
papers. Of course, It Is possible that
friends of the various contestants
may have promised to give them sub
scriptions to help them nut, nnd they
ate wnltlng until the last day before
handing them In. This Is a very poor
practice, however, particularly for

MAY BE IN THIS CITY.
Mrs. Thomas Cary of North Scran
ton, Says That the Missing Mrs.
White Is Living Here.
According to a statement made last
night by Mrs. Thomas Cary, of East
Market street, to Lieutenant of Police
Day, of North Scranton, Mrs. Albert
White, who is supposed by many to
have been murdered by her husband
at Nicholson, has been In the city for
several days, nnd Is doing housework
at tho home of a John Davis, of West
Sernnton.
Mrs. Cary said that she knew posi
tively that Mrs. White Is iu the city,
and said that both she and her hus
band were nt her house last Erlday,
or a week ufter they were missed from
Nicholson. She scouts the murder
story entirely.
Thomas Harris, the father of Mrs.
White, went to Nicholson yesterday
morning, nnd ns far ns could be learn
ed had not returned last night. It
would scent strange that Mrs. White,
if she Is In the city, has not made
her presence known.
A conversation had with a Nicholson
gentleman yesterday afternoon over
the long distance 'phone revealed tho
fact that the borough Is not so thor
oughly alarmed over the matter as
has been pictured. Ho said that tho
general Impression which seemed to
prevail was that Whlto came home in
a drunken fit and smashed the furni
ture up. nnd that the couple left town
because of bills which It is claimed
they owed nnd were tillable to pay
up.
Only a few persons, he said, held

Bonds and
mortgages have
always been
considered among the safest in
vestments. The one drawback
which they have always had has
been the lack of convertibility. If
the mortgagee desired to sell, he
must wait until the title has been
examined, and then possibly lose
his purchasers because of some de
fect or Irregularity in the title, which
the purchaser's attorney may dis
cover. The mortgagee's policy of
this company may be assigned with
a bond and mortgage by the simple
endorsement of the mortgagee.
There is no expense ; it is as simple
as endorsing a check or note.

Hassocks
29c
According toWebster'a
dictionary: "Hassock; a
small stuffed cushion or
foot stool for kneeling in
church or for home use."
The learned Cowper
once used the phrase:
"And knees and has
socks are well nigh di
vorced." Whatever may
have been the reason for
Covrper's remarks years
ago, the matter of Price
cannot stand in the way
today. We have never
given the equal of this
Hassock for 29c. Some
