At a meeting of tho Doaul of Asso ciated Charities Inst night It was de cided to nsk tho city councils to appro priate a sum of money to assist the board In Its work, The report of the agent, Mrs. V D. Duggan, was to tho effect that fully one-half of the cases handled by tho board would naturally fall upon the city If the board did not exist. Without the board a police mat ron would become ft necessity. Some years ngo the city councils appropriat ed a sum each year for similar work but tho practice Was discontinued. It wu3 thought that the city could well afford to do something for the board' In consideration of the amount It saves. A committee was appointed to wait upon tho reeoider and dlrcotor of pub lic safety and present the matter to them. The committee consists of Col onel 13. II. Ripple, llev. Rogers Israel, D. D., Samuel nines, John Gibbons and Conrad Sehroedcr. Mrs. W. B. Dug gan will accompany the committee. Mrs. Duggan called the attention of tho board to the number of children who are on tho streets who ought to be In school. Sho gave It as her opin ion that Ihcio ought ijb be four or five truant ofllcers In tho city. Some of them ought to be women as they had been tried in other cities and proved very successful. The report of tho treasurer showed that there was $33.92 in the treasury, but bills for more than that amount were passed by the board subsequently. The agent's report showed that Blnce the last meeting In Mach 24 there had been 243 applications for relief, of which 130 were Investigated. Mrs. Duggan reported that for the last week sho had been besieged by men who are looking for work. BIG CROWDS SAW THE BIG CIRCUS Diavolo's Looping the Loop on Bicycle the Most Daring Feat Ever Seen Here. The Forepaugh-Sells circus, that stu pendously satisfying spectacle, combin ing among its many features graceful gymnasts, comical clowns, wonderful wire-walkers, beautiful bare-back rld ers.artlstlc oerlalists, agile acrobats and clever 'cyclists, provoked pro longed and pronounced plaudits from two big audiences yesterday. The performance given contained a number of new and novel acts and a number of tho old, inevitable standbys, but It was on a par with any circus performance given in this city in re cent yeais. The great big feature, of course, was Diavalo's "dare-devil and death-defying" ride around the loop on a bicycle. This was held until the end of the show at the afternoon perform ance, and the people were thus kept off the track during the hippodrome ritccs. The big loop around which Dlavalo rides ran half the length of the big tent. A track about five feet wide, starting at the top of the tent, ran down to the floor on a rather sharp in cline and thence around in a perfect circle some fifteen or more feet high. Dlavalo, after being introduced by a stentorian voiced announcer us "the marvel of the new century," walked up the Incline and took the bicycle held for him by a waiting super. After a moment's hesitation he raised his hands as a signal and then, grasping the handlebars firmly, started down the In cline. The wheel came down at a fear ful rate of speed, but when It reached the loop it slowed up perceptibly but went around at a fulrly lively rate. Women gave little screams as the rider was head downward, but an instant later he was off his wheel and bowing to the audience. It takes him just six seconds from the time of his start to the moment he alights from his wheel. Another sensational feature was the performance given by five bicycle riders on the new inclined bicycle track. This Is a circular track made of wooden slats, set an Inch apart at an angle of about seventy-five degrees. It was only twenty feet across, und when a rider got his wheel going on It both himself and the machine were in an almost horizontal position, requiring him to attain a high rate of speed to main tain his equilibrium. Yet five riders rode on this small track at once, each flying around at breakneck speed and each apparently just about to fall off. This act provoked more applause than any other. What Is unquestionably the best aerial act ever witnessed in this city is given by the Peerless Potters, ten In number, who work on four trapezes and who do a series of double back somerfnults from hand to hand that sets peoplo's nerves tingling. Minting, who was seen here two years ago at the Elks' street fair, repeated his well-known act of riding up and down a spiral track on a single wheel. lie repeated also his old trick of fall ing down just as ho nears the top and mnklnpr his audience Imagine that ho had a terribly narrow escape from in- Jury, The thing is mj deliberately planned and so eleveily worked out that It fools tho majority ot the people. At the evening performance thoio wus another Immense throng. All but a few of the unreserved scats wore occupied. Every reserved seat includ ing thoso in the nlsle were disposed of, The daring loop-the-loop bicyclo act was cheered as pohslbly no circus uct ever befoie was cheered In Scrnnton. Mlas Attiessl, one of the lady Jock eys In tho hippodrome races, met with an accident thut sent a thrill of horror through tho thousands of onlookers, Ab she was about to turn Into the dressing room after her race, her horse collided with u donkey cart that was about to bo started In tho succeeding race. Hor horse shied and threw her, but her foot caught In tho stirrup and sho was carded down the track with nor nowiug nuir trailing the ground. Some nf the circus hands quickly cap tut ed the horse and teleased the rider from her perilous position. She was n a faint wten carried to tho di easing room,. but revived shortly, and was all right In an hour.

Crowd of 1,500 Forces the Grassy Island Washery, at Olyphant, to Shut Down, and a Female Strike Sympathizer Assaults Foreman Lewis Six Men Attacked by a Mob of Two Hundred at tho Butler Washery, Near Cork Lane Shoot- , Ing at Avoca and Inkerman. Trouble has already begun as a result of the mine workers' efforts to prevent the operation of culm washerles, More or less serious disturbances were re ported yesterday from Olyphant, Cork Lane, Avoca and Inkermnn. Monday night tho five Olyphant locals of the United Mine Workers decided to make a concerted move to urcvent tho operation of the Delaware and Hudson company's Grassy Island washery. Yes terday morning nt daybreak fifteen hundred strikers formed a nlckot line about tho washery nnd intercepted every man who attempted to pass. All of the fifteen men employed at the washery were "nersuaded" to turn back. Some of them hesitated to obey the strikers' "solicitations," but they did not hesitate long. Foreman Lewis and halt a dozen coal and Iron police came from the washery to order the strikers to desist In their nlleged intimidation. Tho appearance of the coal and Iron police had a tendency to cause commotion among the strik ers, and to prevent a serious uprising the police withdrew. CROWD SURROUNDED HIM. Foreman Lewis remained to argue with the strikers, and while surrounded by a large crowd was set upon by a big Hungarian woman, who knocked the hat from his head into a pool of water. This act incited some of the hot-headed members of tho crowd to surge threat eningly about the foreman, but more thoughtful ones interfered and ure vented further assaults. The washery did not work during the day, but the company declares it will be worked today. Last evening, at 5 o'clock, as six for eigners employed at the Butler wash ery of the Pennsylvania Coal eoirpany at Cork Lane, near Plttston, weie re turning from work, a crowd of two hundred men and boys set upon them and gave them a brutal beating. It was reported that one of them had his eye blinded. The workmen got away from the mob and fled down the lane to Broad street, the crowd following them Into the very heart of Plttston. They finally managed to elude their pur suers. Tuesday night, at Avoca, a number of shots were fired from ambush In the neighborhood of the Elmwood wash ery, supposedly at the ofllcers who are watching the property at night. This is the washery at which young James R. Dickson was mysteriously killed yes terday morning. RESEMBLED A BULLET HOLE. There was a story afloat that he was shot from a distance and fell into the flywheel. A round hole, that closely resembled a bullet hole, was discovered in his left breast near the collarbone, by Undertaker Price, when he was preparing the body for burial. Coroner Saltry was notified and an exhaustive examination made with probe, knife and X-rays, but no bullet could be found. Shots were fired at the workmen in No. S wa&hery of the Pennsylvania Coal company, near Inkerman, Monday, but they were fired from a great distance and failed to do any harm. It was quiet there yesterday. Sheriff Churles H. Schadt stated yes terday that he has not sworn In any deputies to guard coal companies prop erty and, further, that he has not been asked to do so. He has called in all the badges issued to deputies, that lie may reorganize his force if he deems it necessary.

DICKSON Crushed by an Engine at tho Elm wood Washery of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company. James R. Dickson, a prominent young Scrantonlan, nnd son of President A. W. Dickson of the board of trade, met death in a mysterious manner nt the Elmwood washery of the Hillside Coal and Iron company at Avoca, yesterday morning. He is one of the company's civil en gineers and together with a number of other engineers and ofllce employes, was engaged In operating the washery which was left without its usual hands by reason of the miners' strike. He was assigned to look after the two engines which run the conveyers. These engines are set at right angles to each other In the open air, at a point where the two endless-chain conveyers dump their culm into a third conveyer which carries it up to the washery. On the outside of each engine is a large fly wheel. The engineer's position is In the angle formed by the two engines and the engines are consequently be tween him anil tile fly wheels, nnd be tween him and the conveyers, are botli tho engines and the fly wheels. The other men operating the plant yesterday morning were working at the far end of one of the conveyers, a hun dred yards distant, keeping It sup plied with culm from the dump. The engineer is ordinarily In full view ot these men. Occasionally he is envel oped In steam and shut out from view, but this occurs only spasmodically, The washery had been working about an hour when one of the men -at the end of the conveyer had occasion to go to the weigh office. His path took him past the engines. As he was passing lie noticed Dickson lying limp and motionless close up to the base of one of the engines. Approaching he found him dead, and his body badly disfig ured. What caused death was unexplaln able. It was possible that he was on the opposite side of the other engine oiling the machinery, stumbled against the fly wheel and after being whirled about was thrown to the place where he was found dead. The body was viewed by the coroner of Luzerne county nnd afterwards re moved by Undertaker Price to the fam ily home, 616 Qulncy avenue. The father was in New York attend ing the sessions of the Presbyterian General Assembly when appraised of the tragic news. He arrived home at 6.60 last evening, accompanied by his pastor, Rev. James McLeod, D, D. The unfortunate young man was twenty-five years ot age, and had a most promlslng'future. He was a gradu ate of Princeton and had already won several promotions In the engineering corps to which ho was attached. Per sonally, he was an exemplary young man of whom every acquaintance spoke In tho highest terms of praise. His untimely death Is a sad blow to his family and a great hoBt of friends. Tho deceased was a brother of Mrs. Blanchard, widow of tho lute Dr. George Blanchard, nnd Rev. Spencer Dickson, of Pleasant Point, N. J. He was a nephew of Rev, James Stuart Dickson of Philadelphia. The funeral will take plaro Thursday afternoon with services at the family residence at 2,30 p. in. A BIG SEASON ASSURED. Lodore Will Be the Mecca for Ex cursionists the Coming Season.
