ANOTHER MAD DOG.
Veteiinarlan Discoveis a Case
Dumb Rabies at a House on
Gibson Stieet.
of
Another cas-e of dumb uibies was dis
closed j-esteiday by Dr. Ilelmer being
summoned to tie.it a sick dog at a
house on Gibson stieet.
It was a Blenheim spaniel begat of a
pair Impoited some years ago by n
local fancier, and about thiee eais of
age. The dog showed signs of lassitude,
then giadtially became paialyzed and
yesleiday was o helnless it could not
move about, and seemed to he com
pelled to exett every bit of Its eneigy
to laise its head. The flesh of the light
hind foot was chewed nwav to the
bono, indicating that it was at tills
point the poisonous bite was Inflicted.
Dr. Ilelmer took the dog to his et
eilnaiy hospital to despatth it with
chloioform.
. This makes ten tases of labies that
h.ie been brought to the attention of
the veteiinaiians dining the past two
months. About half the cases ha o
been dumb labies and half vicious
The veteiinaiians declaie that theie
is an epidemic of the disease now piev
alent and that dog ovvneis should exer
cise the grentest cue in piotectlng their
dogs from Infection. As the disease
can only bo communicated by a bite the
muzzling of all dogs for a lensonablc
peiiod, It is claimed, would wipe it out.
"t do not want to be an al.timist,"
said Di. Ilelmer to a Tribune lepotter
yesteidny, "but I want to emphasize
what I have all early said in the public
pi ess regai ding the danger of a sptead
of this tenible disease. If a man be
comes affected with the labies he will
die. Small-pox can be cuied, but not
labies. Its development can be checked
by pioper tieatment in the proper time,
but once it develops It is positively fa
tal. Vicious labies can of comse bo
readily detected. The symptoms of
dumb labies aie dullness, diopping of
the lower jaw. bleaiing of the ees,
wobbly locomotion and finally gtadual
paralvzation of the legs and spinal col
umn." DR. VAN SCHOICK INJURED.

MINERS WANT
AN AGREEMENT
THEY WILL- PROBABLY INSIST
ON RECOGNITION
Piesident Nichols Says That a Wilt
ten Contract Is What Is Needed
Claims That the Oporatois Have
Not Lived Up to Tonus of Notico
Posted After Last Stilke Declares
That It Would bo Foolish for Men
to Again Accept the Opeiatois'
Meio Promise.
That the ofllcets of the I'nlted Mine
Worktis of America will recommend tit
the convention to be held In Sham
okln next weelc that the oigntilzatlon
Insist upon an ngi content with the
opeiatois was plainly Intimated yester
day by Piesident 'I', b. Nlcholls, of
District No. 1, In an Intel view bad
Willi a Tribune num. When asked If
the question of a lecognltlon of the
union will come up ut the convention
Mr. Nlcholls said.
"It undoubtedly will. The ofllceis of
the oignnlzatloii, after a euieful con
sldei.itlon of the needs of the men onl
ployed In the autln.iclte Held, have
foi initiated a policy or plan of action
for the consldciatlon of the conven
tion Just what this policy Is It would
not be policy for mo at this time to
state. It will be piesontcd to the dele
gates assembled and they can act upon
it as tbey will.
"You must linden stand that the sen
timent In lnvor of a lecognltlon of the
mine woi iters' oigiinlzatlon and of on
agreement with tlio operatois Is glow
ing. The men nio leallzlng that their
best Intel ests depend upon a lecognl
tlon of their oigunization by the com
pany. And what do I mean by a lecog
nltlon? Not simply the friendly gieet
ing of Piesident Truesd.ile or some
other big toal man and the rcmaik:
'I'm pleased to see joli, gentlemen,'
when the ofllceis of our oiganlzatlon
wait upon him. That is couitesy but
It is not a lecognltlon of the oigan
latiou. WANT AN ACnilEMUNT.
"The lecognltlon that the mine woik
eis' oiganlzatlon wants is a wiitten
agreement signed la black and white
by the opeiatois and the ofllceis of the
union in which each agiee to do cei
tnln things for a ceitaln peiiod of time.
That's the kind of ngieement we want.
When the big stilke In the fall of 1900
was settled theie was no agieement.
The coal companies posted notices an
nouncing that they would giant an in
tiease in wages amounting to ten per
cent, and the continuance of existing
conditions for one year fiom Apiil 1,
11)01, to Apiil 1, IDOL'. The men ngieed
to accept this ineiease and the stiike
was dedaied ofl.
"In othei woids thes- agiced to take
the word of the opeiatois without any
wiitten guai antee that it would bo car
lied out. And hae not the results al
leady proven the folly of doing what
was then done and the idleness of talk
ing about doing It over again? The
companies have neatly all, without ex
ception, gone back on the piomises
made In this notice. The opeiatois
have failed to Keep their woid with the
men and Is it any wonder that the lat
ter aie dissatisfied?"
"In what manner have the opeiatois
gone back on their piomise?" asked the
lepoilei.
"I could lecount dozens of instances
in which they have done so," leplied
Mr. Nlcholls, "The Dela.vv.ue, Lacka
wann and Western company has le
cently intioduced the swing shift for
4 heir fit emeu and have dlschaiged the
men who lefused to agiee to woik
under it. The swing shift is one of
the things that the mine woikeis' oi
ganlzatlon has always fought against
and one of the things which it was
thought would not bo Intioduced this
year when the company announced its
Intention of continuing existing condi
tions until Am 11 1. Its installation is
a diiect violation of the notice posted
in the tall of 1900.
rNDnrt Tim n. & n.
"The Delavv.ue and Hudson company
has failed to continue existing condi
tions in foiee. A new sjstem of i tin
ning the cais close to the side of one
lib Instead of sti .tight down the mid
dle or the gangway has been Intioduced
hi a number of the company's mitten
down the valley. This necessitates the
taking of the coal fiom the other side
a distance of eighteen feet In many
instances befoie It can be loaded on
the car. Under the old system the
men could load fiom both sides.
"Tills now plan entails the expendl
tuie of much additional time and labor
without any additional pay. Its econo
mical for the company because one side
of th tinck Is kept fieo fiom took and
when the coal on that side Is to bo
vvoiked theio Is no lock or dht to

The Philadelphia Times pi luted a
story Inst wool; to the eltect that it
conference had been held between
President Mitchell, tit the United Mine
Woikeis find J. Plcrpont Morgan and
Senator Marcus A. Hniinn, repiesent
liig the opewitors. The announcement
was nmdo that Mr. Morgan had prom
ised Mr. Mitchell that the ten per
cent. Increase would be continued In
foi co null that the latter hud agiced
to an acceptance of this offer by the
mine workeis' organization,
Mr. Nlcholls was asked by The Tilb
tine repot tor to exptess an opinion on
tills storv,
"I place no cicdonce la It, what
ever," said he, "I don't believe thetc
wan nny cotifeicnco hold and I don't
believe that Jlr. Mitchell would agree
to any such proposition. Besides the
Idea of him ugioelng to any pioposl
tlon on behalf of the 150,000 mcntbcis of
the oiganlzatlon In the anthracite Ileitis
Is palpably absuid. AVe have no one
man power In our organization and a
pioposltion such as that one could only
be accepted or i ejected la convention."
Mr. Nlcholls would have nothing to
say whatever upon the probability ot
the convention accepting such a propo
sition assuming that It is to be olllelally
made.
TRIP TO PITtSBURG.
Recorder Connell, Director Woimser
and City Solicitor Watson Leave
for Pittsburg.
Recorder W. L. Connell, Dliector of
Public Safety V. I,. Wormser and City
Solicitor Oeoige M. Watson loft yes
teidny afternoon for Pittsbtug wheie
they will spend seveial days in investi
gating cei lain phases of the municipal
government ot thut laigest of second
class cities.
Theie ate seveial pioblems which
have aiisen timing the last month or
two and which the piesent city ad
inlnistiation has found dlfllcult to
solve because of a lack of Infoimatlon
legaiding the inteiptetations ot exist
ing laws In other second-class cities,
alongside or which Scranton is as jet
an infant in swaddling clothes. It is
lor the puipose of settling some of
th"se questions Unit the piesent trip
of Recorder Connell and the other offi
cials meiftioned Is made.
Most Important of these matteis is
the question brought up by the big coal
corpoiatlons which object to having
their coal nsbesed as flist class ptop
city, contending that It should1 be
placed in the same class as the sin face
oveihead. The local assessois claim
that all coal should be classified as
fiist-class piopoity legtudless of the
suiface and have asked City Solicitor
Watson for an opinion on the ques
tion. Theie aie ceitain soft coal lands
lying within the limits of the city of
Pittsburg and the tlnee local odlclals
will ascertain the manner In which the
coal is or has been assessed.
Another matter in which Dliector
Woi inter, in paitlcul.it, is Interested,
Is the civil set vice i tiles under which
the police and Jhe depaitments of
Pittsbtug ate operating. It Is the In
tention of ltecoider Council to establish
civil seivice legulations In Scianton's
police and flic departments just as
soon as he and Dliector Womscr can
agree upon a plan. The "llppei" bill
says that such legulations shall be
put In foi ce as quickly as possible and
it is the intention ot the present ud
niinistiatlon to follow out tills diiec
tlon. It is piobable that theie will bo no
seveie or difficult examination in lead
ing, giammar, geography, niithinetlc
ngieed upon but lather a geneial test
of a man's fitness for dlschaiging the
duties of policeman or flieman.

VACANCY WAS
NOT FILLED
SIXTH WARD STILL WITHOUT A
CONTROLLER.
At a Caucus of Members of tlio Board
of Control It Was Decided to Eloct
Michael Golden, Son of Hio De
ceased Controller, but the Pluu Was
Not Cart led Out Last Weel: An
other Meeting Next Mondny Night.
Pilco of Flist Wnid Lot Is Too
High.
The members of the school bo.nd held
a tiftcon minute session last night dur
ing which they failed to Mil the vacancy
in the Sixth ward, caused by the death
ot Patrick Clolden.
A caucus of members of the board
wab held loccntlv, at which It was de
cided to confer the place on Michael
Golden, son of the deceased conti oiler.
Since then, some of those who attended
the caucus have come to the conclusion
that possibly the election of young Mr.
Golden would not be the wisest thing
to do under the circumstances and the
filling of the vacancy was last night
postponed for n week, the board decid
ing to hold a special meeting for gen
eial business next Monday night.
Because of the uncertainty with le
fcicnce to the man who will lepiesent
the Sixth ward, Mr. Gibbons did not
nnnounco bin committees last night.
Piesident Gibbons, In an Intoimnl
statement delivered fiom the chair,
told the members that In his opinion
they were paying altogether too much
for the lot ndjolnlng No. I!" school In
the Fhst waitl, which was leccntly
pin chased. The lot Is about f0x95 feet
in size and the boaid has agreed to pay
$1,500 for It.
PRICE TOO HIGH.
Sir. Gibbons said his attention had
been culled to the fact that $I,oOO was
an exhorbltant pi Ice und befoie signing
the order for the payment of the lot
he went up to the Fhst waitl to make
an examination of the pi opet ty. What
he saw and heard led him to believe
that the boaid had agiced to pay $2,000
moie than the piopeity was wot tit.
The value of the surioundlng prop
el ty would Indicate that such was the
case, and, mm cover, the piopeity was
actually offered to the boaid several
jeais ago for $2,500. It was his deslie
to Jsnow if the boaid wanted him to
Sign the oidet, and for that tenson he
bad laid the tacts as he found them
befoie them.
Mi. .Tayne said thut for some yeais
theie has been a necessity for moie
land at No. 23 school and w hen the
committee leeommended the pui chase
of this lot he voted to adopt the lopoit,
i dying upon the judgment of the mem
bus entirely. Since then, he has been
told ficquently that the pi ice was en
tirely too high and he felt it would be
to the best interests of the board to
lefer the matter to tlio new building
committee and the attorney for the
boaid for consideration.
SPECIAL COMMITTED.
W. J. Welsh amended the motion to
have a special committee of live act in
conjunction with the building commit
tee. The amendment was accepted by
Mr. Jayne nnd the motion to lefer
adopted. Piesident Gibbons was in
structed not to sign tlte order until the
lcpoit of the committee has been pie
sented. On motion of Mr. Batkei, it was de
cided to pay the night schol teucheis
next Satin day and tlio day school
teachers on the following Satuiday.
DAMAGE DONE WAS SLIGHT.
