HOME BENEFIT CONCERT.
Will Take Place at the Now Armory
Thursday Night.
The Intense Interest In tlio Home for
the Friendless benefit Is not to be won
dered tit when lite brilliant combination
ot artists and the worthy object for
which the concert Is nlvon are consid
ered. A packed house will surely fit cot
the artists, as the tickets arc In de
mand and are selling rapidly.
Uen Diivlcs, the tenor, llrst crossed
the Atlantic In 1803. lie was then en
gaged to sing In n scries of concerts at
the World's Fair. Passage for himself
and wife hud ht'cn engaged, and they
eagerly looked forward to tho trip. On
the night before their deptjrtute ho re
ceived a cablegram euneo.lliig his en
gagement, "Never mind, let's go,"
urged Mis. Duvlesi "something may
come of It." He thereupon cabled: "Too
Jute; am sailing tomorrow." Upon their
arrival In Chicago, the Welsh people
and the World's Fair musical commit
tee Jointly arranged to give seven con
certs Nothing was paid irt Duvlos
about the terms, Hvery concert proved
to be a great success and they weie at
tended by crowded audiences. At the
end of the series, which lusted ten days,
the manager called the Welsh tenor Into
his ofllee, and ltandcd to him a nile
(about a foot high) of dollar bills, to
the value of tho original contract,
nnmoly, 53,000. Thus something did
come of It, as Mrs. Davles prophesied.
Moreover, Mr. Davles bns visited this
country nearly every year since then,
singing at three Cincinnati festivals.
In addition to this, lie sang In many of
the other leading musical festivals, as
well as with the great choral and or
chestral societies.
Tlio Homo concert occurs Thursday,
Aptil 3, at the new armory, and the
artists are Madame Blauvelt, prima
donna soprano, known as the American
nightingale; Uen Davles, the foremost
tenor of the present day, and the dis
tinguished musician and eminent vio
linist. Fritz Krelsler. Tickets are for
sale by the managers.
FOR MOTHERS' CONGRESS.
Mrs. Carrie Grout Will Seek to In
terest Local Women In the Work.
Mrs. Carrie U Orout was in tho city
over Sunday, renewing an acquaintance
of long standing with Rev. Dr. and Mrs.
It. F. Y. Pierce. Mrs. Grout Is work
ing in Eastern Pennsylvania in tho In
terests of the Mothers' congress, In
which tills state has a place of special
honor, inasmuch as Mrs. Frederic
Schoff, of Philadelphia, has just been
elected national president.
Mrs. Schoff is a woman eminently
fitted for this high position, being the
mother or six devoted and beautirul
children, most of whom have taken
places in the world which do credit to
their homo inlluences. Mrs. Schoff de
sires to unite the mothers of Pennsyl
vania for the better development of the
home and child life.
In these days of multitudinous or
ganizations, this one stands for that
bulwark of our libei ties the American
home for a uork that shall be pre
vents e instead of reformatory, going
back to the beginnings or life and habit,
making for a better and wiser parent
hood; bringing into closer relations the
homo and the school for the benellt ot
the child; protecting all childhood by
giving it a better civic environment,
and securing such legislation that chll
dien of tender years shall not be tried
in ordinary courts and committed to
Jail with old offenders.
Airs. Grout will leturn to Scranton
next week, and hopes to meet many of
the mothers and public school teachers,
to secure their aid In the work or the
congress.
A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Discarded Lover Kicked Miss Dad
rich In the Face.
John Green, a machinist, employed
at the Cliff works, committed a vicious
assault on a young woman named Ada
D.uliich, Saturday night, and is now
under bull for his appearance at court

girt cut him off on account of his In
temperate habits.
At ll.iio o'clock Saturduy night they
met on the court bouse square, when
Miss Dadrlch was returning homo
fiom work In the New York depart
ment store. Green wanted to accom
pany her to her boarding place, on
Adams avenue, but she resented his
attentions.
Without other provocation, the brute
knocked her down nml kicked her in
the face. Her screams attracted Dr.
A, J. Wlnebrake and Editor James J.
Million, of the Free Preps, and the for
mer dealt Green a knockout blow just
as lie was about to escape,
Patrolmen Jollier and Geinmel after
wards appeared on tho scene and es
corted tho couple to the station house.

and held under $300 bail on the charge
ot assault and battery. Miss Dadrlch

TROLLEY STRIKE
.NOT
Central Labor Union Sides with the
Street Gar Strikers'
Committee.
GOES COUNTER TO
IT'S OWN AFFAIRS
Refuses to Accept tho Recommenda
tion of the Executive Commlttoo
Thattthc Modified New Proposition
Bo Accepted Strikers Go Into Ses
sion at 8 O'clock to Consider tho
Matter of a Counter Proposition to
tho Company and Were Slill In
Session nt an Early Morning Hour.
Central Labor Union Executive
Committee Not Very Well Pleased
with the Reception Accorded the
Results of Its Work.
Much to the surprise of the executive
committee of tho Central Labor union,
the delegates to that body, at yester
day's meeting, refused to endorse the
proposition which tho committee se
cured from the Scranton Hallway com
pany, and which it bns been vainly
urging tho striking employes of that
corporation to accept during the past
wcuk.
The victory of the strikers' executive
committee wus complete, as was freely
admitted by tho Central Labor union
committeemen last night. Immediately
after the Central Labor union ad
journed its live and a half hours'
stormy session, the striking street car
men went into session in the same hall.
The meeting was fairly under way at
9 o'clock, but at 2 o'clock this morning
there was no prospect of adjournment,
though the probabilities seemed to
point to the submission ot a counter
proposition asking for an assurance
that if the strikers return to work they
will receive full time within s-ixty days.
One tiling- is certain, and that Is that
a large percentage of the men were in
favor of accepting the proposition, and
declaring the strike off. The unanimity
of feeling against the acceptance of the
proposition which prevailed at last
Thursday night's meeting was con
spicuous by its absence. The session
was stormy, and there was almost open
disorder at times.
One of the reasons for the prolonga
tion of last night's session was the ver
bal communication from the company,
conveyed through the Central Labor
union committee, that the company
would not take back a part of the men
under the terms proposed. The propo
sition was made with the understand
ing that it was to effect a settlement
of the strike and the raising of the boy
cott. If it accomplished anything less
than this, the company would not be
bound by it. This stipulation resulted
in making those of the strikers who
favored accepting the proposition light
vigorously to have it accepted, and de
terred them from bolting the meeting
with threats to go back to work.
A LONG MEETING.
The meeting of the Central Labor
union was the longest in its history,
lasting from 2,30 o'clock in the after
noon until after S o'clock at night.
The fight made by the executive com
mittee for an endorsement of its strike
settlement proposition was u hard but
losing one. The members of the com
mittee went into the meeting confident
that only slight objection would mani
fest itself and were unprepared for the
overwhelming opposition which devel
oped. They fought to the last ditch,
however, and only gave up when com
pelled to.
The objection to an 'endorsement of
the railway company's proposition was
principally based on two grounds.
The principal point raised against It
was that It contained no assurance
whatever that Its terms would bo con
tinued in force for any given period of
time, in other words, a majority of
the delegates seemed to think that tho
sti liters are Justified In Insisting upon
it yearly contract, and' believed in up
holding this demand. It was pointed
out that the conditions agreed to in
tho company's proposition might be
continued In force for only a few weeks
unless the company specifically piom
Ised to keep them In forco for a given
time.
The other objection was raided
against the second proposition, in real
ity an amendment to the llrst, which
was secured by the executive commit
tee on Saturday, and which was be
lieved by that body to meet objections
raised by the strikers to tho original
pioposition. This second proposition
was as follows:
To iclnlnte or ulie opportunity for tehintJie
incut to all men on its pay ioIU epienibcr ..0,
1101, at once, the time, houcirr, to lie cqu.iUy

lime, to leeeitc Wi ccuW,

OHJKCTIONS TO PROPOSITION.
The objection to the original proposi
tion on the part of the strikers was
that only 100 men were to be taken
buck at once, the others to be taken
back within sixty days. They wanted
all the men taken back at once. The
company, in Its second proposition,
agrees to do thin, but does not agree
to glvo all the pion taken back rcgu
lar, full-time runs. It Is agreed that
each man shall receive an equal
amount of work,
It was argued ut yesterday's meet
ing that this practically moans that the
Imports and returned strikers who ure
now operating the cars would got all
the regulur runs, while tho rug-tug
and bob-tail of the work would be
divided, up among the union men who
go back,
It was argued thut, under this sec
ond proposition, this condition ot uf-
fairs might continue Indellnitcly, as
there Is no assurance that even after
the sixty-day limit originally fixed has
expired, thut tho old men would bo
given regular runs. There were other
YET SETTLE!
minor objections raised, but there were
the principal ones.
The members or tho executive com
mittee ot tho Central Labor union re
ceived the newspaper inon after the
meeting, and through Select Council
man Joseph Oliver, announced tbnt
the union had "endorsed tho action of
tho committee In endeavoring to effect
ii settlement of the strike" but had
"emphatically rejected the proposition
secured by tho committee from the
company." Asked It the committee
would continue Its efforts to settle the
strike, one of the members said;
"Well, we might considered another
proposition If It camo to us, but we
won't walk our legs oft looking for
trouble ti second time, I can toll you."
President John H. Devlne, who was
most active lit the movement which
ended In such an unexpected manner
yesterday, said;
"I think that the proposition rejected
by the Central Labor union today was
a good and a practicable one, and that
its acceptance both by tho Central
Labor union and tlio strikers would
bnvo been best for nil Interests con
cerned. My fellow-members ot the
committee think the same way, but
we are but the servants of the central
body, which voted to reject the pro
posed plan of settlement, and we can
do nothing."
A VERY SORRY LOT.
The members of the executive com
mittee of the Central Labor union were
a very sorry lot last night. They did
not feel anything more than disap
pointment over having their recom
mendation Ignored, but when it came
to their oars that the strikers, in their
nnxlety to Insure the rejection of the
proposition, did not hesitate to make
serious reflections, the Central union's
committee wore made indignant.
"This is nice treatment," said one of
them last night to ti Tribune reporter.
"Our committee lias lost time and
money and walked Itself thin securing
these new terms, yet the only return
wo get is vllliflcatlon at the bands of
those we so earnestly, honestly and
untiringly tried to help."
Only one member of the Central
Labor union committee, J. F. Hnin
mes, attended last night's meeting of
the strikers. The explanation given
for the absence of the others was that
tho only purpose they could serve by
being there would be in the capacity
of targets for abuse, and they felt they
bad had quite enough of that sort of
tiling. As one of them put it last
night: "Wo stood about all the
tongue-lasblng we're capable of stand
ing." COUNTER-PROPOSITION.
At 2.45 o'clock this morning a com
mittee of three left the strikers' meet
ing with a counter-proposition and in
structions to see a representative of
the company and secuie its acceptance,
if possible.
The meeting took an Indefinite recess
to await the return of the committee.
The counter-proposition does not differ
materially from the company's offer.
The men are willing to accept the com
pany's proposition, providing it is made
binding for a year: that the seniority
system prevail In the apportionment of
runs, and that the company will stipu
late in writing that it will meet a com
mittee of employes to adjust differences
at any time.
At 3.50 a. in. the committee was still
In consultation with Manager Sllllman,
who rejected the strikers' counter
proposition. ARRANGING A MATCH.

Drank Carbolic Acid and Died
Shortly Afterwards.
Mm. May Martin, the 20-year-old
wife of John Martin, ended her life
Saturday afternoon at the Hlgelow
IIou.-e, KIT Mulberry strcetr by swal
lowing several ounces of carbolic acid.
No cause Is assigned for the deed,
and the husband was Inclined to the
belief that she had taken the acid ac
cidentally. The couple came to this city some
time ago from Boston, and but little
Is known of them. They had been
boarding at the Blgclow House, and
had partaken of the noonday meal.
Shortly afterwards, Martin left the
house, and his wife went to her room.
A few minutes afterwards, occu
pants or the bouse heard the sound of
a falling body upstairs, and upon In
vestigation found Mrs. Martin lying on
the floor, with blood oozing from her
moil til.
Dr. Longstreet and Dr. Finburg were
called, but they were unable to help
her, and she died soon after their ar
rival. Coroner Sultry was notified,
and when ho began an investigation
found a four-ounce bottle containing
an ounce of carbolic acid. An autopsy
was made, and an Inquest will be
held.
