NORTH SCRANTON NEWS.
Strike of tho Pin-Sotters in the Howl
ing .Alleys in tho Auditorium.
Short News Notes.
There was a strike in the bowling
alleys In the Auditorium, Tuesday
night. Ordinarily that is not a very
sensational occurrence in a bowling
alley, but in this case It was.
There are three alleys, and in each
a boy was employed to set up the pins.
Now a pin-setter is somewhat of an
artist and a real, full-fledged artist
cannot be expected to work without
assistance, so Tuesday night about 7
o'clock the pin-setters demanded of the
manager or tho alleys that an assist
ant be employed to hand them the pins.
At first the management could not
sec the necessity for an assistant, but
when he received the ultimatum of the
pin-setters, "No assistant, no pins," he
decided that they would concede tho
assistant, and another boy was put to
work.
An hour later tho pin-setters again
upproached tho management. Their
assistant was not getting within fifteen
cents of the pay per night he should
receive, they said, and unless It was
made right they would refuse to work.
It was not made light, and they
struck.
Yesterday new pin-setters were em
ployed, and last night offulrs had re
sumed their wonted condition at the
alleys.
Concert Postponed.
The concert which was to have been
given In the Auditorium tonight by
Professor Watktnsham's orchestra for
the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., has been
postponed on account of the blizzard.
The date on which the concert will
be given will be announced later.

MRS. SWISHER TRIED TO END

She Threw Herself Into a Bathtub
Full of Water But Was Found by
Her Daughter In. Time to Savo Her
Life Gcorgo Schrnder Arraigned
Before Aldermnn Lentos Michael
Zsnppka Acted In a Very Unbroth
crly Manner and Was Sent to the
County Jnll In Consequence.
Mrs. Swisher, an old resident ot this
side, who Is nearly seventy years of
ago, created- a. stir In the upper por
tion of the Twentieth ward yestcrduy
morning, by stepping Into a bathtub,
with the evident Intention to end her
life.
Tho old lady lives with her daughter,
a Mrs. Deltzer, at 2316 Plttston avenue,
which Is near the MlnooUa city line,
nnd has been In a despondent mood for
some time.
Enrly In the morning she visited tlvo
bath room, nnil was not missed for
some Unto. Iter daughter made a
search, and on opening tho bath room
door, found the old lady speechless,
from tho effects of the cold water, but
nllve, Medical aid was at once sum
moned, nnd nn examination showed
that tho would-be suicide was In a ser
ious condition, having become thor
oughly chilled and benumbed with cold.
It was evident the old lady had
changed her inind nftcr entering the
cold bath, and It Is presumed that tho
chilliness of the water prevented her
from carrying out her purpose. For a
time, her condition, utter being found,
wns precarious, but hopes of her recov
ery arc now cntertninctl.
Abuses His Wife.
George Schrader, ot 1122 Stafford ave
nue, wns given a hearing before Alder
mnn Lenten yesterday on charges of as
sault and battery, and threats. Tho
complaint was entered by his wife, who
alleged that when tipsy Schrader
amuses himself by abusing her nnd
that his dislike for her and the world
In general Is because ho Is unable to
keep a job for any length of time owing
to his disposition,
He was ordered to furnish bail in the
sum of $600 for bis appearance at court.
A Peculiar Case.
George Z.sappka, of 331 South Wash
ington avenue, had warrants sworn
out before Alderman Ecntes yesterday,
against his brother Michael, for de
frauding a board bill, and also for un
brotherly conduct towards Mrs. Zsap
pka. It appears that Michael left his
brother's home without settling for his
keep, and after he had gone, George
also learned of an Intimacy existing be
tween his wife and brother. Aldermnn
Lentcs after hearing all the facts, de
cided to hold the defendant In bail for
court, but about this time, the prosecu
tor relented, forgave his brother, and
paid the costs.
In a short time however, he re
turned and stated that shortly after
arriving home Michael started In to
"clean house," and made riiro threats,
so that George was afraid ho would
do him bodily harm. The alderman
made out a committment, and the pug
nacious brother was landed In the Al
der street station house. He will be
given a hearing this morning.
Xaid at Rest.
James Gnvnn, the young son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Gavnn, was laid at
rest in the Dunmore cemetery yester

Few people can understand the feel
ings of the pugilist as he is being counted
out. He hears the seconds ticked off.
He struggles to rise, , but struggles in
vain, He has lost the fight.
There are some who are making a
losing light for life that can appreciate
this; those whose lungs nre diseased.
With every tick of the watch, they know
that they are being counted out.
The great question is haw can a quick
rally be made to continue the fight
against disease? Many who have :ibkcd
that question have fouuel a satisfactory
answer in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis,
obstinate, deep-seated coughs, hemor
rhage, night -sweats, emaciation, and
other conditions which if neglected or
unskilfully treated may find a fatal
termination iu consumption.
"Whtn I commenced taking Br Tierce's
Clolden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. John T.
Reed, of Jefferson, JefftrMm Co., Ark., "I was
very low with a cough, nud would ut times spit
up blood. I was not able to elo any work at all.
was weak and my head was eilzsy. The first
bottle I look did me so much pood that I had
faith in it and continued until I had taken
twelve bottles. Now I do not look like uor feel
like the same mail as. I was a year ago. People
were astonished and said they did not think I
could live, I can thankfully say that I am
entirely cured of n disease from which had it
not been for sour wonderful ' Discovery ' I would
have died."
There are cures behind every claim
made for the "Discovery," which no
"just as good" medicine can show.

AMERICANS IN RUSSIA.
Syndicate Secures 3200,000,000 Rus
sian Trolley Concession.
from the London Uies,
Electric tram cars of American build
are about to Invade the land of the
caar.
To a syndicate composed entirely or
Americans tho Russian government has
just mado one ot the most Important
concessions ever granted any foreign
corporation. It has for Its object the
electrification of tho tram lines iu St.
Petersburg, Moscow and several smaller
cities in Russia.
Murray A.,Verner. of Pittsburg, Unit
ed States ot America, has been conduct
ing negotiations with the Russian gov
ernment on behalf of this syndicate, and
the papers were hlgneel by M, do AVitte,
Russian minister of finance, a few days
uuo.
The value of the concession Is over
10,000,000, and the syndicate ngteed to
rebuild 313 miles of lullway, in addition
to constructing now lines in territory
designated bv the government.
Sir, Vernor has been negotiating with
the Russian government for ninny
months. When a prellmlnarv tender
was tnaelo by his hyndlcato over a year
ago to tako over the tram Hues In St.
Petersbiitg, another American syndi
cate, consisting principally of Now
York capitalists, made an unsuivessful
effort te secure) thn rights,
Tho Verner syndicate Is composed of
men who have been associated for many
years with the management of tram
lines In tho I'nlted States. Mr, Verner
and II, Sellers McKee, one of the
largest stockholders, own valuable train
Hues In Pittsburg. Indianapolis, nnd
several wustwn cities.
Tho work of electrifying the Rtibblau
tram lines will begin curly In tho
spring, those In St. Petersburg being
first transformed. The overhead troi
ley syhtem will be adopted, the com
pany having found It more sueevs.srul
In the operation of Its American lines
than tho so-called third-rail system.
The majority of tho equipment will
probably be manufactured by the West
Inghouse Electric company In Pitts
burg, although a portion of the con
tract nmy be placed with the Urltish
Wcstlughouso company If their new
plant at Trafford Park, near Manches
ter, is finished in time.
When the new trains arc In operation
In SI. Petersburg that city will, for tlio
first time, enjuy the udvuutuges of rapid
