(lorman and company, liverymen, and Is one of the most enthusiastic horsemen lu llle cily. . One of the iinest sets of bowling al leys in the city was opened to the pub lic last Alonday night on Penn avenue. Tile proprietor of the alleys is fieorge Ilainpe, the cigar-dealer, and when the alleys are completed they will have cost over $ri.000. There are four alleys and instead of all running parallel with one another they are arranged in two rows, end to end. The bowlers lake their places in the centre and roll in opposite directions. Tills Is an abso lutely unique arrangement but bowlers who have used the alleys say that It Is a splendid one. Only two of the al leys are completed as yet, but the oth ers will be finished within two or three weeks. "Hobby" Wharton, the well known local bowling enthusiast, has been placed In charge and there is al ready talk of having him organize n team to represent the alleys lu the Xortheastern Pennsylvania bowling league during its second series nf sanies. n, That bowling Is Increasing in popu larity is demonstrated by the announce ment that two alleys are to be erected in the basement of the auditorium building in Xortb Seranton. Kxcava lious have already been made and the contract for the construction of the til leys is lo be awarded this week. The two men who are to manage the alleys are already well established In busi ness and they are sanguine that the venture will be a successful one. & The lllnclc Diamonds have now got what may be termed a "lead pipe cinch" on llrst place. The V'.-st Hud Wheelmen's Xo. 1 team and the IJackus live, which are now the only teams the leaders have to fear, will have to ,io some tall bowling lo hope to win. If the Dlaek Diamonds keep up the steady, suit. game they have been rolling, they can win out easily. The defeat of the Willies-llurreans by the tall-end Klk.i the other night has served to take the heart out of the for mer, and It Is predicted that they will not be in the race from now on. t 4 i The bowling fever has spread to the students of the Seranton High school, and of the School of the Lackawanna, and teams representing these two edu cational institutions will compete for honors this morning on llampe's al leys. u The best games so far rolled lids sea-, 'A J3 jrti Today We Reduce Prices on All Ladies' Suits and Coats, Children's Coats, Fur Muffs and Scarfs.

The Krie railroad has posted notices asking that the freight cars be loaded wilh less tonnage. The idea as the bul letin slates is to promote better ser vice and run longer trains. The order will go lu effect the first of the year and will be welcomed by the freight agents along the line. A number of torpedo explosions in the cabooses on the Krlo has led Hie superintendents to post notices that all the combustible signaling apparatus shall be stored as far from the stoves as possible. This would be natural, but it seems that some of the train men have not been exercising the prop er amount of caution. The Krie tor pedoes ore of a different variety than those used by the Lackawanna and are more susceptible lo the heart. wvmw rf w CUT ?! CLARK MAKES A STATEMENT COUNTER - STATEMENT THE STRIKERS.

Itegardini; this conference, and the position of the strikers in Kcnerul, a member of the strikers' executive hoard said last night: "President Clark refused to neRoti ate with President Mahon, statiniv In positive terms that the company would make no agreement with or recognize any representative of the union. He was willing to meet committees or the men or citizens representing the men. He oven offered to confer with Presi dent Mahon If the latter would act simply its a citizen and not as the rep resentative of the union. Mr. Million refused to assume any capacity other than that of president of the union. "When asked about the reinstate ment of the men, President Clarke said ihe company was willing to reinstate ibout fit; per cent, of those who went on strike. Those to be reinstated would bo selected by the company fiom an ex amination of the records. President Mahon could not entertain this propo sition, because It completely ignored the organization, and, further, Its terms were too Indefinite. 'The men have decided to enter Into no further negotiations looking towards ti settlement. The next overture must come from the company. Rvery propo sition wo have made has been rejected by the company, and we hove come to the conclusion there Is no use attempt ing a settlement. TO CARRY OX PICHT.

That they will be approved, (here is no (ttestlon. flen erully speaking, these plans contem plate thu bending of all our energies on w liming a complete victory, with no thought of compromise. What propo sitions we have niadit will be withdrawn and the company will have the alterna tive of accepting our terms or running empty cars forever," Notlco of the seven cents per capita tax per month on all Ihe organisations allied with the Central Labor union have been Bent nut. Three West Sldo locals of the mlno workers, which met last night, not only accepted tlio levy, bill voluntarily agreed to raise II to ten cents.
