ALL OF THE MEpThAVE
BEEN ORDERED OUT
Effort to Completely Tie Up the

Accoi'dlng to Inforinnllon tecelved
from W'llkes-Harre last night an order
was Issued yesteulay afternoon by
President T. I). NleluiN, of district Xo.
1, acting for the executive boaid of the
district, calling out all the employes at
the Avondale, Pettebone, Woodward
and Jersey collieries of the Pelawaie,
Lackawanna & Western company. ,
A second joint meeting of the local
unions comprising the mine workers
employed at the collieries above men
tioned wtis held beginning at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at Edwardsvllle
and the committer appointed to wait
on Superintendent 11. A. Phillips and
Ulstilct .Superintendent Montrose liar
nard, made Its report.
The committee reported Hint It had
been unable to receive any satisfaction
at the hands of the company ofllcials.
Superintendent Harnaul, It was report
ed, had refused to discharge the men
who took the striking firemen's places
nnd to lelnstate the latter to their old
positions. After some discussion a mo
tion was made declaring It to be the
sonse of the meeting that nil the inside
and outside employees 'at the four col
leges mentioned be called upon to quit
work, The motion was unanimously
adopted.
The following notice was then issued
nnd posted In conspicuous places near
the several mines:

As far as could be Iparned last night
none of the men who have been work
ing at the four colleries mentioned quit
work last night because the majority
of them did not hear of the notice until
utter they had reported for work. The
only men now at work at the Avondale,
Pettebone and Woodward colleries are
the englneets, tltemen and pump-runners,
the others having been on strike
for upwatds of seven weeks. If the
pnglneers and pump-runners quit today
a serious condition of affairs will pre
sent Itself, unless the company secures
men to take their places at once, be
cause of the danger of the mines be
coming flooded.
Tho Jersey Colliery has been Idle for
several months because of a fierce fire
which is raging within. The notice
posted yesterday calls out the men who
aie fighting tills lire and It Is predicted
that they will quit work today.
President Nichols when seen at his
home last night by a Tribune man said
that he had not been at Edwardsvllle
but that the order calling out the men
now nt work had his approval. Author
ity to Issue it, he said, had1 been vested
In the ofllcials of the meeting.

LUCKY WEEK
FOR ACCUSED
VERY FEW CONVICTIONS WERE
SECURED.
Out of Seventy-eight Cases on the
' List Only Five Resulted in Verdicts
of Guilty, While in Thirty-six the
Defendants Were Acquitted Jury
in tho Lottie Smith Case Falls to
Agree Accused Him of Sheep
Stealing Yesterday's Marriage
Licenses Other Court Matters.
This was u lucky 'week for the ac
cused In qtmrter sessions court. Out of
the seventy-eight cases scheduled for
trial there were onlv live convictions
and two nlens of guilty,' while thlrty
slx defendants escaped penalizing by
tweuty-rour verdicts of not guilty, nine
nolle prosequi)), one disagreement and
two settlements. In u number of the
"not guilty" cases, however, there were
partial convictions, the costs being Im
posed In whole or In part on the de
fendants. Just what Is responsible for the pauc
ity or convictions Is hard to determine,
but In one case, at least, the fault lay
with the jury, or more pioperly speuk
lng, with a juryman. That was in the
case of Lottie Smith, chnrged by the
police with keeping tt house of Ill-fame
lu Oukford court. The prosecution mode
out a very strong case and the general
expectation was there would be u ver
dict of guilty. There was one Juror,
however, who stood out ngalnst the
.other eleven from Thursday morning
until yesterday noon and forced a dls
ngieeinent. The police authorities nie
very much wroth at this and other ver
dicts of acquittal In their cases, and
their opinions of the juries, as ex
pressed from time to time during the
week, were such as one would naturally
Infer, from hearing the language In
which they were couched, were not In
tended for publication verbatim.
Two of the five convictions were In
the last ease called for trial yesterday.
The defendants were Arthur Weeks und
Josephine McNamurn, nnd the prose
cutor Thomas Iloche. The defendants
were charged with Illegal cohabitation,
Their defense was a common law mar
riage. They did not deny the allega
tion that they had been occupying the
same apartments nt 22." Lackawanna
avenue and that they had been put out
by the owner of the premises, but in
justification of their conduct they
aveired that three yeais ago they en
tered into a common law marriage con
tract, und consequently weie legally
justified in their cohabitation. The jury
thought otherwise and after two hours
deliberation convicted them.
The defendants were witnesses In the
hearing on the rule to revoke t,he
licenses or F. M. Aylsworth nnd
"Iloxey" Jones. They testified to hav
ing been frequenters of the places and
of having witnessed scandalous pro
ceedings there. Miss McNamara further
testified that she had her pocketbook
stolen in Jones' ralaoe. For this testi
mony a charge of perjury has been
hi ought against her by Thomas Roche.
It Is to be heard at the next term.
A verdict of not guilty was returned
In the case of Anthony Vedontskus,
chnrged by Julia Fetrukas, of Chnrles
street, with larceny by bailee. The de
fendant boi rowed an overcoat from the
plaintiff to go to a wedding. The over
coat was stolen at the wedding, and he
failed to make restitution. His defense
was that there was a disagreement as
to the value of the coat.
Salvatore Cuppello, of Dunmore, was
arraigned before Judge Kelly for sell
ing liquor on Sunday. Constable James
J. Kelly was prosecutor. The defend
ant showed that he was In Kurone on
the date on which it was alleged he was
selling illegally, and the jury acquitted
him.
A nol pros., on payment of .costs, was
entered In the following cases: H.
Hlnerfeld. perjury: Mary Chapel, as
sault and battery; Agnes Durnscavitch,
Mary Chapel and Michael Spnrr, as
sault and battery; Agnes Durnscavitch,
adultery.
Called Him a Sheep Stealer.
If there Is one thing more than an
other that will arouse the irascibility
of an Irishman, that thing is nn allega
tion that he came from a family that
Indulged In more ijiutton than their
means would warrant. Usually It calls
for police Intervention. Last Satur
day, however, there was an Instance
wheie the allegee refrained from visit
ing summnry punishment on the allegor
and contented himself with seeking re
venge and vindication by suit In slan
der. The plnlntllC Is Michael Begley, jr.,
and the defendant Michael Donovan.
The allegation Is that at the Storrs
mine, In Dickson City, Last Saturday,
Donovan, with a prefatory remark re
flecting on . Degley's legitimacy, de
clared "You were driven out of Ire
land for sheep stealing."
For this he asks damages In the sum
of $2,000. Jleers & Oranibs are going to
help him set It.

WAS REMOVED TO
, SMALLPOX HOSPITAL
Mrs. Twiss Was Found to Be Suffer
ing, from Dread Disease Husband
and Child Also Removed.
Dr. J. W. Ilouser, of Taylor, who has
hud wide experience with smallpox, ex
amined Mrs. Charles Twiss, ot 430
Franklin avenue, yesterday, and posi
tively dlngnosed her case as one of that
disease.
lie notified Superintendent W. E.
Allen, of the bureau of health, and the
latter Immediately decided to have Mrs.
Twiss removed to the emergency hos
pital, on the West mountain. This de
cision was reached because of the fact
that several other families live In the
infected house, and because of the
further fact that it Is In close proxim
ity to the Lackawanna hospital and No.
36 school. .
Mrs. Twiss was removed to the emer
gency hospital In the afternoon, and
with her were taken her husband und
little son, both of whom have been ex
posed to the disease. The latter two
will be Isolated, but will be kept at the
hospital until It Is ascertained whether
or not they will contract the disease.
Capable nurses have been engaged
and will be In constant attendance on
Mrs. Twiss. Dr. Houser has been se
lected as the attending .physician and
he will make regular visits twice a day.
A guard will be constantly on watch,
working eight hours at a shift.
The house in which the Twiss family
lived was thoroughly fumigated last
night by the health authorities, and
several other houses In the near vicin
ity will be fumigated today. All of the
persons living In the neighborhood were
vaccinated on Thursday afternoon, by
order of Superintendent Allen.
The latter said yesterday that it was
Impossible to tell just how Mrs. Twiss
contracted the disease. He believes that
the recent widespread vaccination will
have the effect of preventing a spread
of the disease, but admitted that a
number of persons were expo'sed to
contagion before the case was brought
to his attention.
The Lackawanna hospital dispensary
has been closed, and visitors will not
be allowed to enter that institution for
several days.
FOUND DEAD IN A
DISORDERLY HOUSE
Man Supposed to Be John Cooney
Expired in Charles Thiel's '
Resort on Vine Street
The dead body of a man about 40
years old, supposed to be John Cooney,
wns found last night about 10 o'clock
In an upstairs room In the disorderly
house kept by Charles Thlel nt 318 Vine
stteet.
The inmates of the place stated that
the man came to the place on Thurs
day night in a state of Intoxication,
and remained all night. He was tip
around in tho morning, but went to
bed In the afternoon again. They no
ticed him sleeping quietly several
times, but when one of them entered
the room last night she found that he
had ceased breathing. Coroner Sallry
was notified.
A careful search of Cooney's cloth
ing resulted in the discovery of an
envelope addressed to "John Cooney,
Scranton, Fa," but containing no let
ter. Ther-o was nothing else to Identify
the men, who was about 40 years old,
and who weighed 130 pounds. Ho had
light brown hair nnd moustache and
was fairly well dressed hi dark clothes
with a soft black hat.
Dr. Saltry made a cursory examina
tion and ordered the body removed to
Barrett's undertaking establishment,
where he will perform nn autopsy this
morning. He stated last night that
there was nothing suspicious about
the man's death, which wus probably
caused by heart failure, superinduced
by alcoholism.
The "Royal Muskoka."
The opening up of the Highlands ot

INTEREST IN
THE CONCLAVE
HEIGHTENED BY ELECTION OF
JUNIOR WARDEN.
t.
Not Infrequently There Is at Logical
Choice but This Year the Com
mandery Will Have to Pick Out a
Man front Among n Number of
Possibilities Erie, Wilkes-Bnrre
and Altoona Templars Prominently
Mentioned First Circular of Grand
Commander Penmap,
Additional Interest will attach Io the
coming conclave of the Knights Tem
plar, to be held hero May 26-28, by the
fact that the Grand comma ndery will
be called upon to select a junldr war
den from among tv number of the most
prominent of Its available men.
Not Infrequently the're Is a "logical"
choice, and the election In consequence
Is a perfunctory affair. This year, how
ever, no one particular knight stands
out more prominently than others ns
"the man for the place." Three of the
most prominently mentioned as proba
bilities ure Frank McSparren, of Erie:
D. O. McCollum, of Wllkes-Barre, and
Andrew S, Stayer, of Altoonn. Others
may yet be discussed, but the general
opinion In Temnlar circles Is that the
nominations will close with the naming
of these three.
This Is the only office to which there
Is nn actual election. It Is the bottom
rung of the ladder, whose top Is the
office of grand commander. It Is not a
written rule, but one nevertheless re
ligiously observed, that the Junior war
den shall be graduated from one to the
other of the elective offices excepting
grand prelate until he finally becomes
grand commander.
BARTLETT SUCCEEDS PENMAN.
Major T. F. Penman became junior
warden at the last conclave In Scran
ton in lS9b He was promoted each year
a step higher until last year he was
made the head of the commandery. He
retires this year to give way to Ezra S.
Bnrtlett, of Philadelphia, who succeeded
him as junior warden, and who Is now
deputy grand commander.
Another matter which will add to the
Interest of tho Scranton conclave Is the
proposition to change the date of the
conclave from tho fourth Tuesday of
May to the second Tuesday of June,
submitted at tho last conclave for de
cision this year. Another important
matter the commandery will bo cnlled
upon to decide Is a proposed constitu
tional amendment providing for the
election of three trustees, to Invest such
funds as may be placed at their dis
posal by the commandery..
Grand Commander Penman has sent
out his first circular of information re
garding the conclave. It gives, among
other things, the following concerning
railroad rates:
The following laics of laihoad faie have licen

NO FORMAL, TtBCEPTIONS.
The local subordinate commanderles,
Coeur do I.lon and Mcllta have defin
itely decided to give no formal recep
tions on Monday night. Numbers of
the visiting commanderles Invariably
give receptions on that night, and this
year there promises to bo no end ot
them. There Is a spirited good natured
rivalry as to which entertains the most
guests, and out of regard for this the
local commanderles will refrain from
doing anything to detract from the suc
cess of the visitors' affairs. At all
events It Is deemed more appropriate
that the local knights should be free
to commingle with all the visitors,
rather than to meet and greet only
such as would come to their reception.
The arrangenien.ts are progressing
very satisfactorily. Chairman C. D.
Kanderson of the general committee
says that If the public will look to the
proper decoration of the building fronts,
the committee will do all the rest neces
sary to make the Templars glad' they
are with us.

What Are
the New
Shirt Waists
Like?
A question everyone
is interested in. The
season's waists show
a great variety of
style, the color almost
without exception be
ing white.
A new pattern is made, yoke
front and back, with box pleats
stitched flat, broad shouldered
effect.
Decidedly chic for morning
wear.
The dainty lawn and India
mull waists are designed with
broad shoulders, blouse front,
long waist and tight fitting
back. Collars and cuffs are
soft, graceful, trimmed like
waists. Insertion, embroidery,
lace and hemstitched with laid
in tucks are combined in those
waists, making them a collec
tion absolutely above compari
son. The advance stock received
last week are now on exhibl-r
tion. Come in and see for
yourself.
