HELD IN BAIL TO
APPEAR AT COURT
Result of the Hearing of the West
Scranton Rioters Bjfore Alder
man John T. Howe.
Alderman John T. Howe yesterday
afternoon held David Jones, Joseph
Reynolds, Mr. Kllen Scliell, .Mrs. Da
vid Jones, and Mrs. Jennie James each
in $300 bail on 1 lie charges of assault
and battery and ineitlns" a riot, and
lined each of them $1 and voMa for dis
orderly conduct In I he cases erowhiK
out of Hie trouble on Lafayette street
last Friday and Saturday. David II.
Jones riualllled sis bondsman for the
other fourdefendnnt-), and Martin Sher
idan riualllled for Jones.
Yesterday's hearing was a continua
tion of the procecdliiRS held on Mon
day. The llrst -witness sworn was II.
It. Patterson, superintendent of trans
portation for the Scranton Hallway
company. Ills testimony was to the
eifect that the running of cars oa the
Lafayette street lino had been ob
structed by the defendants with stones,
ttees, lumber, greased rails, wires
weighted down, etc. He particularly
heard Sirs. James hooting and jeering
and inciting t lie boys n round to acts
of violence, tie saw stones thrown
but could not Identify any persons who
threw them.
Morgan Sweeney was then sworn. Ills
testimony was similar to Patterson's
in so far as the obstructions were con
cerned. Ills Impression was that the
defendants were trying to put Steve
Dyer "out of business," as lie put It,
and lie assisted in placing Jones un
der arrest, when the. women pitched on
to Dyer. He could not swear that
there was any passengers on the car
He testllled that Jones was struck on
the head by :i pollceman'.v club, but
swore he did not know who struck
him. lie heard the crowd call the men
scabs, etc., but could not Identify any
of them.
Ocorge Simpson, one of the special
otllcers imported from Philadelphia,
was next sworn. He testllled to having
come here at the solicitation of the
company, and vim sworn hi as a spe
cial olllcer 1 .st ThursUtiy. He saw the
three women defendants n the crowd
and advised them to desist from their
acts of violence. Heard them use pro
fane language, and in the scrinmiagu
vhleb followed merely "assisted" Mrs.
.lames onto the car.
Attorney Xewcomb drew from the
witness admlsM'ons that he was
furnished with a revolver by the street
railway company and that ho had car
ried it ever since. He had occasion to
use the weapon on Saturday, he bald,
but denied having pointed it at any
women or children. Ho swore positive
ly, however, that Mrs. James used the
foulest kind of language, and that he
heard the other defendants make Min
ilar remarks.
Attorney New-comb asked for the dis
charge of the defendants on the charge
of disorderly conduct, claiming that the
evidence adduced would not warrant
tin alderman In lining them. Attorney
O'Malley argued the case for the pros
ecution. The magistrate lined the de
fendants and held them in lu 1 1 for their
appearance at court.

WERE CROWDED
CARS ON A FEW LINES LIBER
ALLY PATRONIZED.
What This Signifies According to tho
Clnlm of the Contending Parties.
General Manager Sllllman Repeats
That th'e Cottncllmnnlo Committee
Can Accomplish Nothing In the
Way of Inducing the Company to
Recede from Its Position Labor
Organizations Endorse Sttllce.
Just what brought It to pass can
only be guessed at, but whatever tho
agency there is a certainty that yes
terday disclosed what seemed to be
prearrangeinent by Iniluentlal parlies
to break tho boycott against the trolley
cars.
The strike entered Its third week,
yesterday. Kvery preceding day for
two weeks tho cars inn empty, or
practically so. Yesterday afternoon
cars wcro running with people stand
ing lit the aisles. Uetwon ii and li
o'clock Inst evening, tho cars running
out Washington nvenuo carried ns
high as thirty-six passengers by netunl
count. On the Laurel Hill line there
was also liberal patronage. Other
Hues showed no very perceptible increase-,
but nccordlng to the company's
claim, there was a good sized Increase.
One story had It that at meetings
held on Monday night business men
concluded that the men could not win
without an extremely long struggle, It
at all, and ns a long struggle meant
serious injury to IT not the wrecking
of their business, they would, for self
preservation, bo compelled to tnko
steps to bring tho strike to an end,
and as a means thereto, they woul 1
encourage the patronizing of the ca.s.
('olor Is lent to this story by I bo
fact that many business men, who
previously, had shunned the cars, con
spicuously boarded them, yesterday,
especially towards evening, In the cen
lial city.
CAN ACCOMPLISH NOTHING.
Hope of effecting an amicable ad
justment of the controversy seems far
ther away than over. The strikers
pinned eomo hope to the mediation of
tho Joint committee of councils. Mr.
Sllllman was asked, yesterday, by a
Tribune reporter what If anything the
committee could accomplish.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing, except
to convince the men they cannot win.
and that It Is for the best interests of
all concerned that they glvv up their
hopeless struggle. 1 trust the commit
tee will como to see me soon, that 1
may tell them this. Tho sooner the
strikers know that there can bo no
compromise tho better it will bo for
themselves. As to the probability of
my being lemoved I would say that
everyone concerned can rely upon il,
that when 1 cease to bo manager of
the .Scranton Hallway company, this
slrlko will have been a bit of forgotten
history."
Mr. Sllllman then went on to reiter
ate his statement that the public, or
tho responsible portion of it, which
represents the majority. Is demanding
of the company that il shall thresh
out this light and win a victory that
will have a decided effect towards dis
couraging these strikes so baneful to
the Lackawanna valley.
"They not only wnnt that tho strike
should be won by the company," Mr.
Silliniau said, "but they want that the.
ietory should 'be complete and last
ing." "Tho patronage of the cars would
not tend to substantiate this claim,"
the reporter suggested.
FKAU THK CAfriK.
, "Fear alone has kept the people off
the cais," Mr. Sllllman at once de
clared. "First there was the fear of
violence; next, the fear of tho boy
cott. Yesterday there was no violence
and again this morning everything is
peaceable. Tho consequence Is that
this afternoon the cars are, In some
instances, crowded to, the platforms
and all the lines show a resumption
of tralllc. Husiness men are coming
together to resist Intimidation and be
fore many days you will see vanish
the other cause of tho people refrain
ing front riding. Once tho people re
sume tiding the strike la off, for Hie
company will encounter no dldleulty
In giving them a servlue. Wo have
all tho men wo want and they are
men who have come to stay. Theie
are many men nmong the strikers who
are opposed to the strike and would
return to work tomorrow If they weto
not restrained by the strike leaders."
chairman Chittenden, of select .coun
cil, yesterday afternoon, appointed
Messrs. Melvln, Sehroeder and Costello
as the selectmen to act on the Joint
mediation committee provided for by
the Calpln resolution. Tho notices of
their appointment was mailed to them
late in the day. A meeting between
Mr. Sllllman and the committee has
been arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
ARK NOT ALAUMKO.
The strikers arc not nt till alarmed,
they say, by yesterday's develop
ments, They realized all along that
there wore some persons keeping off
tho cars through no sympathy with
tho htrlke, and It was figured that lu
time theso same persons would ride.
Klghty per cent, of tho people of this
community, however, aro walking
throuijh sympathy with tho strikers
and boouus-o of their antagonism of the
present management of the company,
which, they feel, Is directly and solely
responsible for tho two strikes, and In
cidentally tho causo of the poor ser
vice which tho company gives oven
under the most ftivorablo elreum
stancys. Theso people, tho strikers
say, will not rido aw long as tho strll-.o
Is on, uiul somo of them will keep up
their active opposition to tho company
as long as tho company retains Its
present manager, Theso latter, the
strikers say, aro not what Is generally
comprehended by tho term "union
men," but business men nnd the like,
with tho best Interests of tho city at
heart, if the company's receipts con
tlnii'J to ho less than Its expenses for
a considerable period, thorn must noetU
follow i' capitulation, pud though tt
may tauo mouths or oven a year lie

that It was because she was tho daugh

strike can lie settled,
Frank Raymond, one of tho strikers,
who Is charged with having helped to
Incite the riot on Lafayelto street, Sat
urday, was arrested yesterday on u
warrant sworn out by Special Agent
Steve Dyer. He was to have had it

the hearing of the other alleged rioters
prevented this, lie will probably bo

Some of the resolutions transmitted
to strike headquarters arc accompan
ied by cash donations.
Tile strikers are also In receipt ot a
liberal donation from Brewer It. C.
AVills. Mr. Wills rode on a car Friday
and the next day the saloons refused
to handle tho product of his brewery.
Mr. Wills waited on the strikers' execu
tive board, explained how an emer
gency forced him to ride, and said
ho'd lose $r,000 rather than have his beer
boycotted. One of the board jocosely
suggested that It wouldn't take jn.OOO
to prove bis good faith that $r.00 would
be ample. Mr. Wills took the hint nnd
tho next day the papers contained a
statement from the strikers' executive
board exonerating Mr. Wills from the
charge of being unfair to union labor.
CARRIAGE STRUCK
BY A STREET CAR
Philip and Otto Robinson, of South
Scranton, Injured nt Washington.
Avenue and Phelps Street.
A serious accident occurred on Wash
ington avenue yesterday morning about
10.30 o'clock. Philip and Otto Robin
son, of South Scranton, were driving
along Washington avenue, on the hill
below tho Krlo and Wyoming- depot,
when a street car manned by imports
came ahmg at a rapid gait and struck
their carriage. They wore just making'
the turn into Phelps street when the
accident occu-red. The car crashed
Into the vehicle nnd threw both occu
pants to tho ground. Philip Robinson
fell near the sidewalk, close by Walsh's
saloon, while his brother, Otto, was
dragged about twenty feet.
Tho maddened animals, a pair of spir
ited blacks, after being struck, started
off at a frantic pace and after travel
ing thr? length of Phelps street, turned
Into Capouse avenue, where a now
track Is being laid by the Scranton
Railway company. There they floun
dered into tho excavation intended for
the new roadbed, and were ultimately
captured, both being badly cut and the
buggy a. total wreck, lu the meantime
assistance had arrived and the brothers
were cared for. They were taken home,
Philip to Ills Plttston avenuo residence
and Otto to the homo of his mother, on
Cedar avenue. On examination, Otto
was found to have sustained a. badly
sprained ankle and several bad bruises.
Philip was more seriously hurt.
Dr. Albert Kolb, Iho fniuily physi
cian, was summoned and after making
n careful examination, stated that his
patient was In a. serious condition. He
was suffering front shock and sustained
extensive bruises about the hips, loins
and small of the bad;. His condition

END OF THE
CONFERENCE
PRIMITIVE METHODISTS AD
JOURNED DABT NIGHT.
A Session Was Conducted After the
Night Service, When All Unfin
ished Business Was Disposed of A
New Rule Regarding Divorce Was
Adopted, Prohibiting the Marrlngo
of All Persons Separated, Except
for Adultery Statistical Report of
the Condition of the Church,
Contrary to all expectations, the
fourth iitiadlentilnl general conference
of the Primitive Methodist church of
America was brought to a close last
night, il final session being held after
the evening religious scrvlcVt..
Tho business transacted ' yesterday
was the most Important or the confer
once nnd Included a large number of
minor changes lit the discipline of the
church. Perhaps the most Important
change lu the discipline made was the
amending of the section relating to di
vorces, so as to make It read as fol
lows: "None of the ministers of this church
shall marry a. person or persons di
vorced contrary to the words of Jesus
Christ, as found In Matthew, 1:0."
The verse of Holy Scripture men
tioned in this rule reads as follows:
"And I say unto you, whosoever shall
put away his wife, except It bo for
fornication, and shall marry another,
commlltelh adultery; and whoso inur
rleth her which Is put away doth com
mit adultery."
The discipline of tho Primitive Meth
odist church has always contained a
provision practically tho satno as the
one above mentioned, with the excep
tion that tho particular verso of Scrip
ture containing the words of Christ on
this subject was not mentioned.
CIIL'RCH STATISTICS.
One of tho most interesting features
of yesterday's sessions wns tho presen
tation of a statistical report on the
condition of tho church by a special
committee appointed to compile It. The
following figures are excerpts from this
report: Ordained clergymen, 8; local
preachers, 104; membership, U.837;
churches, CI; parsonages, 32; teachers,
10-'; Sunday school scholars, 11,288;

raised during last four years for im
provements, $34,G!)S.2I; debt os church
property, ?i0.rilt.7u; amount raised for
missionary work, $7,r5S.ll. These fig
ures do not Include tho Western con
ference. Thero was some little discussion on
the changing of tho name of the young
people's society from the Wesley league
to tho Wesley League of Christian En
deavors. The last name was finally de
cided upon.
Rev. John II. Acotnly, of Fall Uivor,
Mass., was elected editor of the Primi
tive Methodist Journal, and Rev. N. AV.

tant f'iictor. Opportunities for safe
and prolitable investments are be
coming more nnd more scarce, and
the individual executor, guardian
or trustee often hns to leave money
belonging to the estate idle becsuso
he cannot find a proper safe invest
ment. In appointing a trust com.
puny as trustee or guardine you get
the advantage of the financial ex
perience and business ability of its
officers and directors, toghtherwith
large opportunities for investment
which a financial institute always
has. A trust company has special
opportunities for putting out money
on bond and mortgage.
