son has transferred his affections lo
the Ittvyde club's star live. In the
business world he is well known sir. a
member of the firm nf If. S. (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

Lackawanna Appointments.
neorge W. Jltiyler, chief clerk to
Cieiieral Passenger Agent T. W. Lee,
of, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Itailroad, has been made as
sistant general passenger agent, the ap
pointment to take effect on January 1.
A. H. AVallace, who has been chief
clerk to fiencrnl Freight Agent P. J.
Flynn, has been appointed assistant
general freight agent. Iloth will have
their hendriuurlors In Xew York.
This and That.
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.

Tlie "last conference," to which llr.
Clark has reference, is one that took
place lu Hotel "Walton, Philadelphia,
last Sunday afternoon, between himself
and two emissaries of the strikers,
.ludKo-elect ID. C. Newcomb and ex
Lieutenant Governor L. A. Wntres.
National President W. D. Million, of the
street car men's union, accompanied the
mediators.
WHAT ST Itl KB Its SAV.
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.
"Complete plans for carrying on an
aggressive and extended light were
mapped out at the conference Thurs
day night, by our executive hoard, the
special committee of the Central Labor
union and President Nlcholls, of the
1'iilted Mine Workers. These plans will
be submitted to n meeting of the strik
ers tomorrow morning. 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. One of tint locals, which made a
It.'i contribution December 11, voted an
other $-.T. from its treasury last night for
the strikers' relief.
The strikers are lo have a mat's meet
ing on New Year's night. Labor lead
ers from all over the coal regions will
be present.
ON COMPANY'S PAV-ROI.I;.

Its own pay-rolls all the men employed
