Coursen TO CONFER Committee of Strikers Will Meet Manager Silliman Today. HIS REPLY UNFAVORABLE Ho Answered tho Men's Second Proposition by Saying That the Company Would Not Consider Any Proposition from Them Until They Returned to Work, and Wanted to Know if They Would Work Today. Committee Decided to Reject His Proposition Only a Few Cars Run Yesterday No Men Have Been Imported as Yet. Tho street railway men's strike Is still on, and there does not appear to be much hope for an Immediate settle ment, though a conference has been nrrniiRod tor this morning between General Manager Silliman, of the com pany, and K. W. Clark, jr., of Phila delphia, one of tho directors, on the one side and a sub-commlttco ot the strikers on the other. The principal development In the situation yesterday was the receipt ot a letter by the strikers from General Manager .Silliman, announcing that the company would refuse to consider their proposition of Tues'dity or any other proposition until they returned to wotk, and giving them until midnight to stntc whether or not they would take out their regular cars this morn ing. This letter was sent in reply to the strikers' letter, written on Tuesday, containing a proposal to refer tho whole question for arbitration to lit. Rev. Bishop M. J. Hobnn, or some priest deputized by him, he to decide upon the mode of procedure to be fol lowed, in the arbitration proceedings, and withdrawing the former demand that the two discharged conductors bo reinstated pending the result of tho arbitration. Jilt. SILLIMAX'S LKTTKH. Tho following Is the full text of Mr. Slllimau's letter, which was delivered to the executive committee at 7.110 o'clock last night by his private secre tary, Mr. P.lelly: suanton, I'a., Oil. ', Will. Oeurne Kapler, Scvieluiy Dhl.-ion His, A. A. ot Sliept It.iilwiiy Kmploxps, Seranlon, I'a. Dear Sir: Wc ale in receipt of jour letter of Oir. 1, and have carefully noled it content'.. 'Hip proposition Mihmilted to your organization in our letler of Sept. 30, was m.ulo by this com pany with the hono.-t intention of pndeavorinff to meet the ililllcullie.s of the situation and thin aoid a strike. The mrmbeia of jour organisa tion lift our employ aftpr declining our oiler to aibllrate, and we cannot now eon-ider this or any other piopoiltion until alter they have returned to uoik. We niibt llidefore ak your committee to notify us bcfoic 12 o'clock tonight, if it is the inten tion of our employes to return to woik on Tliuisd.iy, Oel. '', in time for their l'PKiilar runs. OtliprIp we shall comider that they do not intend to do so. Yours duly, Sci.mlon hiihvay Company, Uy Krauk Silliman, jr.. Hernial Manager. The committee went Into session about S.I10 o'clock and remained in con sultation for about an hour and a half. At the end of that time it was an nounced that the members of tho com mittee were unanimously opposed to having the men go back to work be fore receiving some definite reply to their proposition. "Air. Silliman must labor under the Impression that we are crazy," said one of the committeemen. "Wo will not agree to accept this proposition for a moment. The Idea that we should allow the men to go back to work, now that they are out on strike, before re ceiving some definite answer to the questions which precipitated tho strike, is absurd. This isn't simply the view of tho committee. We've sounded every man around the place and they are all unanimous In declaring the proposition to be a ridiculous one. "You will notice that even if wo did accept the proposition and go back to work, there Is nothing In Mr. Slllimau's letter which binds him to even con sider our grievances. 'Ho says that tho company will not consider any propo sition fioni the men until they return to work, but he doesn't promise to con sider one If wo do go back. The letter is evasive on this point and purposely so, wo believe." SUNT A COMMITTKl-:. The committee didn't see tit to send word to Mr. Silliman slating whether or not they would return to work this morning. Instead, a sub-committee was sent to the Hotel Jcrniyu to ar range, If possible, for a conference sometime before midnight. Mr. Silli man sent word to tho committee, through his private secrolnry, that ho would give the matter consideration, and told them to go to tho company's olllcn In half an hour and ho would send them word. Tho committee- went to the oillco at 10.110 o'clock nnd were again mel by ltlelly, who said ho would have to sco Mr. Silliman again. Ho did so, and roturncil about 11 o'clock with the an uoiiuccmnnt that the general manager had retired, after deciding to put oft tho proposed conference until this morning. When this word was im parted to tho executive committee, tho following letter was prepared and mulled to Mr. Hllllnmu: Suanton, I'a., O.d. ;, pini. Frank Silliman, jr., tienetal Manager Suanton Hallway loiup.my, Dear Sir: Your irply to our coniniiinlealion of the fut instant leieiieil at a lain hour, and after dellbciatiou by tho coinniilteo I am In. sliuiled in an.ncr to request a coiiferenio at your r.ulicsl comrnlenie, at whhh it U hopid that nunc tatidaclory adjustment, may hu if.

Very respectfully joins, (!. O, Kuglcr, Scirelary, It was stated officially that ut tho conference the members of tho com mitted will Insist upon the acceptance of their proposition of Tuesday nnd will refuse to permit tho men to re turn to work until tho company makes a dcclslvo unswer of some sort. NO NIOVV PROPOSITION, "Wo will have no now proposition to submit," said one of tho committee, men. "Wo stand by our proposal of Tuesday and no other. AVo plncerely hope that wc will bo able to make the company olllcluls sco the justice' of our ,;U$js . . 1 position. Perhaps there have been mis understandings ott both side?. It there have been wo hope that matters will bo fully explained." The tlo-up yesterday was nbotit as complete ns It could possibly bo. Two cars manned by Dispatchers llemdon, Brown, Hehuiidn iilitl McTaggert made trips to Diiniiiure and West Scrnuton on n regular schedule for the purpose of carrying tho mulls In fulfillment nf the company' contract with the gov ernment. A few passengers were cur ried on each trip. Two car were run on the Green Rldgo .Suburban and Petersburg Hues between the bouts of ft and 7 p. m, and were crowded with passengers on ev ery (tip. They wore manned by .Su perintendent Pattetson, several ot the ofllco employees and a volunteer who appeared at tho company's oillco about 5 o'clock and offered to assist In run ning otto of the curs. As far as could be learned there was no disorder of any kind yesterday, ex cept tho blocking of tho tracks In alt parts of tho city. The tracks on tho Providence line arc blocked with all kinds of obstructions all the way from Carbon street and the same condition exists nil the way tip the valley. This sort ot thing Is done In tho majority of cases by small boys, who eeem to take n huge delight In It. At a meeting of the executive com mittee held yesterday nfternoon ways and means for the conducting of tho strike were mapped out. Committees were appointed to watch incoming trains ami from now on, day and night, there will be pickets posted at the Lackawanna, Jersey CentrnI and Dela ware and Hudson stations and at tho upper end ot Lackawanna, avenue. These pickets (ire instructed to look out for the arrival of Imported men and to Immediately notify headquar ters If any do arrive. NO MEN IMPORTED. Tito company has not yet made any attempt to import any men but Gen eral Manager Silliman said yesterday afternoon that the company would make every effort to run as many cars a possible. Ho would not say wheth er any men would bo Imported. "I have said that wo will run our cars and 1 propose to keep my word," said he. 13. M. Clarke, jr., one of the board of directors of tho company, arrived In tho city last evening about 6 o'clock to advise with General Mana ger Silliman on the situation. He was In conversation with tho latter for some time last night, but denied him self to newspaper men. PLAYED FOOTBALL IN RAIN Wyoming Seminary Was Too Much for Local Foot Ball Players. Line-up of Teams. Wyoming seminary played all around the High schol eleven ut Ath letic Park yesterday afternoon, scor ing three touch downs with compara tive ease. The teams played in a drenching rain, and the contest lacked brilliancy and snap. The boys rolled around In the mud, and Scranton seemed to lack the weight to go up against such a strong eleven as the seminary boys. High school won the toss and took the upper goal. In the kick off Wyom ing took the ball and steadily forced it over the lino for a touchdown in a few minutes. They failed to kick the goal, however. Score, 5-0. , In the next kick off, Tropp sent the ball in close proximity to the Wyo ming goal post, und seminary took it unci successfully carried it the full length of the field for a touchdown, with slight interference. The goal was missed. Score, 10-0. In the next kick off Wyoming took the ball at tho twenty-yard line, and made a gain of ten yards. They again forced the ball Scrantonward for over 5 yards and lost it on a fumble. High school tried for a double pass but failed, and seminary held thein back with comparative ease. After a slight gain High school lost the bull on foul Interference. The seminary boys failed to make a gain and lost the ball to Scranton, when Powell made a run of about twenty yards, but was forced back on a. stolen ball. The first half ended with the score 10-0. In tho second half Wyoming took the ball and kicked to High school's thirty-live yard line. The latter seemed to be unable to hold their opponents and Wyoming again forced tho ball over the line for a touchdown, but failed on the goal. Score, 13-0.

In There should be new legislation against tho exercise of criminal Ignor ance in times of sickness. Many a good family Is In mourning today for tho loss of a relative who, when first the symptoms of serious sickness appeared, niado the fatal mis take of simply taking tho wrong medi cine. s soon think ot stopping the sun with u wavo of tho hand as ot stopping the onward course of disease In the hu man system with any ot the vurlotis patent concoctions under patent names so numerously in tho market today. Thcro is but one remedy known to medicine that can bring new life and vigor to worn-out nerves, restore to their normal condition tho functions that depend upon nerves nnd brnln, properly nourished and fed, that cures sleeplessness, allays indigestion, sends healthy blood coursing through the veins, tones up the system, and makes the weak strong again, and that Is Paine's celery compound the discov ery of tho greatest of America's many great physicians. Paine's celery compound Is not a pat ent medicine. It Is tho one prepared remedy that lias the unqualified en dorsement of those physicians whose knowledge and ability have made their names known not only among their immediate neighbors, but throughout tho country. No other prepared remedy was ever recommended publicly or privately by the head of tho medical department of a groat university. No other remedy ever had the hearty, bona tide endorse ment of tho wives and households of the wealthiest as well as the poorer citizens In every community. A single bottle.to bo had of any repu table druggist, will prove ite unequaled merit to any family where today some member suffers from the much-to-bo-feared beginnings of what before the winter Is past, unless attended to promptly, may prove to be the final break-down. "Paine's celery compound," says Hon. It. L. McKee, of Jefferson City, one of the soundest men in public life In Missouri, "Paine's celery compound is so well known that I feel that a recommendation from me can add very little weight, but I do wish to grate fully recommend It to those who have never been so fortunate as to try It." There Is no season so favorable as this for taking advantage of tho won derfully renovating virtues of this remedy. Don't begin the winter in poor health. Nature does little at this season to rejuvenate unaided the fagged-out brain or to restore tc health the diseasedi nervee. Paine's celery compound nourishes perfectly tho bodily system. It cures diseases of the Important organs of digestion, circulation, and excretion, regttlutes the entire nervous system and supplies the body with strength to rombut dis ease. TO GO TO PITTSBURG.
