In Philadelphia yesterday morning
Frank Thompson, for years one of the

Mrs. Thompson yvent to Philadelphia
several tweeks ago where Mr. Thomp
son' placed himself under the care, of

Mr. Thompson was horn In Philadel

the time since he came to this city ho
was enguged In the wholesale liquor
business on lower Luckuwanua avenue,
He was a Democrat and soon after
hjs arrival here evinced a very lively
ipterest In the battles of his party, in
a fcv years' he was recognized ns ono

factor In all of the exciting- polltlcnl
battles of tho later '70's and the '80's.
He repeatedly declined nominations
proffered him by his party preferring to
remain In tho ranks. He was many
times honored by being elected dele
gare to the state and nutlonal conven
tions of his party.

A. 0. H. CONVENTION.
May Witness a Eight Between Ad
herents of tho Clan-na-Oael and
United Irish League.
Alderman C. C. Donovan nnd Miss
Anna Mulla, of South Kcrunton, will
leave next Friday for Denver, to repre
sent, respectively, the ' county boards
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and
the Ladles' auxiliary of that order, "it
their national conventions which open
in that city next Tuesday.
At Wilkos-Burrc, they will Join tho
excursion of the Philadelphia Tourist
club which will go to Denver by way
of the Lehigh Valley, Grand Trunk nnd
Rock Island rouds, In a special train of
Pullman cars.
It is expected the convention will bo
a lively one as It Is reported there Is
a movement on foot by the Clan-na-Gael
or physical force party to deal
the United Irish league, or parliamen
tary party, a deadly blow, by leaving,
the Ancient Order of Hlbernlnns com
mit Itself to the polldy of tho Clan-nu-Gnel
and discountenance the United
Irish league movement.
The Ancient Order Is primarily a
fraternal organization with religious
and beneficial features, but, of course,
deeply Interested in Ireland's emancipa
tion. The Clun-nn-Gnel and United
Irish league are wholly and solely In
terested in Ireland's cause, the one
believing; in wresting Ireland from
England's grasp by force and the
other trusting "in accomplishing the
best that can bo done, through parlia
ment. Members of both tho latter or
ganizations are members of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, the former in the
greater number. The physical force
men it Is said, believe that with their
own votes and those recruited from
among the A. O. H. men who do not
belong to either of the political organ
izations, the A. O. H. can be gotten
to endorse the Clan-na-Gucl and dis
credit the United league.
Mr. Donovan says he has heard noth
ing authentic of any such contemplated
step, and Is not disposed to give it
much credence. If such a move is
made, Mr. Donovan says, the conven
tion can be expected to have several
sessions that will bo worth while at
tending.
Attend today's prim
aries, 4 to 7 o'clock pr m.,

Dr. J. W. Coolidge last .night declar
ed that tho reports In afternoon fcapers
stating- that W. H. Pierce had regained

Mr. Pierce is still in a heavy stupor.
Last night, however, he rallied some

PRACTICAL COMMON SENSE FOR
WORKWOMEN.
Comparison of the Records of the
Two Candidates for Congress with
Respect to Their Friendship for
Labor On the Ono Hand a Friend
ship of Words; On the Other a
Friendship of Deeds Let Working
men Read and Reflect.
In Sunday's Eimlta Telegram appear
ed the following open letter:
Tho llonoiablo Jolm R. Parr, nnd tho
Hon, John R. Parr's munugcts, nro bark
ing at tho worklngmnn ns he passes their
snow, calling attention to tho attraction
Inside as tho "worlUBgrnnn's friend."
Tho Inside attraction Is Mr. Parr himself,
It would bo perfectly absurd to entertain
Mr. Purr as the filcnd of tho worklngmnn.
except nt the tlmo when ho can llnd him
ot scrvlco to him. What has Mr. Parr
dono for tho working pooplo of this val
ley? How many worklngmcn docs ho em
play? How many mouths uro fed through
tho employment he fmnlahes to others?
You can numbtr Mr. Fnrr's employes
on the fingers of your left hand, Mr.
Parr claims he was tho nuthor of tho free
text book, Who pays for tho frco text
books? The nconlo who labor tho miner,
"mill hand and every other toller of this
community. Mr. Parr would have you
bcllovo that tho corporations pay tho
greater part of this tax. This Is a false
notion. Just think It out yourselves. Mr.
Parr builds a house and rents It. Who
pays ho taxes? Tho tenant, of course.
Mr. Farr, like every landlord, adds tho
taxes and tho Insurance to tho rental,
and tho tenant pays for both. It Is tho
snmo way with the coal operntor. Ho
builds n breaker that costs a hundred
thousand dollars. The state taxes that
breaker, nnd tho mine operator, llko tho
landlord, takes this tax out of tho work
lngmcn In nnd around that breaker or
mine. The working people are tho tax
payers, and through tho freo book sys
tem the working people aro paying for
school books for tho rich man's chil
dren. Mr. Parr declares if ho were In
congress now, ho would bo Introducing
bills to settle tho miners' strike. Bosh!
There were a dozen of such bills beforo
tho late congress and they could not
bo pulled through with a pair of oxen. If
Mr. Farr had lovo for tho workingman
why did ho not do something for him
when ho was for six years a member of
the state legislature?
WHO ARE PARR'S BACKERS.
When tho worklngmnn Is ready to send
a workingman to congress, let him send
the genuine article. To send Mr. Farr
there now to represent Iho tollers of this
valley would be a reflection uon the In
telligence and the sincerity of our work
ing people. Mr. Parr and his management
Insult dignified labor, when they come up
to It and declare, they and they alono
aro tho friends ot labor. Tho object of
Mr. Farr's entry into tho contest Is well
known. Tho men back of him the men
who dare not come out in the open and
battle llko men are John H, Fellows,
John McAskle. Captain Molr and Col
onel Wat res. Suppose tho worklngmcn of
this city depended upon these half dozen
men for employment, how many would
they employ? Colonel Watres Is a mill
ionaire. His wealth is in tho waters o
the mountains and the bonds of tho gov
ernment. His income is out of those who
must drink water and pay taxes. Ho
doesn't employ a dozen of men. Mr. Fel
lows is worth many thousand dollars, but
how does ho uso it. With his wealth
he buys land by tho acre, and sells It by
tho foot for three and four times what
ho paid for it. He lives on tho in
dustilous poor man who builds a home.
Mr. Farr Is wealthy, too. It is only fair
to say he made his wealth out of real es
tate speculations. Ho Is Interested In no
Industries that give employment to men.
A few years ago he purchased at a rea
sonable price, a plot from the Dela
ware.Lackawanna and Western company.
Ho plotted It out in city lots for tho poor
mines nnd other workmen, and got ns
much for each lot as ho paid for each
acre. Is that tho way to befriend the
laboring man? As a matter of courtesy,
wo will drop Messrs. Molr and "McAskle.
Perhaps If they hnd the opportunity thoy
would do something for the workingman.
It worklngmcn of the town depended
upon Mr. Farr and his backers there
would ,bo about a dozen worklngtnen here.
DEEDS VS. WORDS.
Mr. Council does not go about shout
ing himself the friend of any particular
class. Ho stands for all llko an honest
man should. What has William Conncll
done for tho working people of this town?
How many In his employ? You couldn't
count his employes on your lingers and
your toes. Tho men In his employ, di
rectly nnd Indirectly, run up Into the
thousands. He employs 1,000 workmen
for every working man employed by Mr.
Farr. Between tho two men, who Is the
friend of labor? Just stop nnd think
Throw away your jealousy for a minute,
arid reason like nn honest man. Mr. Con
nell Is rich. You would be, too, If yon had
tho chance. Mr. Council mndo his wealth
out of labor. So have all millionaires.
Does Mr. Fnrr's workingman labor short
er hours than Mr. Council's? You know
thoy don't. You likewise know that Will
iam Connell never nsked a man to work
for him for a cent less than tho pievnll
Ing wnges. You further know that overy
man who has worked and who works for
William Connell, respects him. You l',now
William Connell has not an enemy In tho
world except a few whlppcr-snappeis ot
politicians who can't uso him.
What has William Conncll done for tho
town? You know. What Is ho doing
now? Tnke a walk this afternoon up to
the site of the old rolling mill, Seo tho
great buildings that nro going up thero.
Observe what Is going on. Tnko a walk
through tho South Side from hero to
Plttbton and seo tho now inllroad that Is
being built. William Council's money Is
In that; William Conncll bi ought that In
dustry to this city. It represents a now
rullwoy between Wllkes-Barro nnd Car
bondulc, with great shops hero that will
employ a thousand or mora men. Thirty
million dollars aro to bo Invested In this
plant. It will bo n greater Industry than
tho steel mills. Hns Mr. Farr or any ot
his backers n cent In that enterprise?
Tnko a run down to Pino Brook, ndjolnlng
tho Carvlnnl grounds, Seo tho Immense
structure that is going up there tho
greatest printing offlco In tho United
Stntes, where hundreds of skilled linmls
will be employed befoio tho winter bets
In. Is the money of Mr, Fnrr or nny of
his rich backers In that enterprise? Not
a cent. But William Council's money Is
there. In brief, nnd In fact. Mr. Council's
I money is in nenily every enterpilse In tho
city, while tho wealth of his opposers is
in lanu nnu water srnns. Jn this In
stance, who Is thu worklngman's friend?
As a practical. Feasible question, who is
tho ft lend of the people of this valley 7
the man who grew wealthy In cornering
land nnd exacting: enormous prices for It
from the poor, or tho man who Is build
ing mjlls and Institutions for the employ
ment of those who are on earth to labor?
WORTH THINKING ABOUT,
If yiu have been reading Mr, Farr's
literature, get to your corner this ufter
noon and glvo some thought as to whom
you ate Indebted the man who makes
tvo blades of glass grow whero only one
grow before or tho wiinu who eels this
ono bludu of grass llnd forces you to

you will bee, In all Us force, tho ub&urdlly

ALL EYES ON NEW YORK.
Much Local Speculation as to the
Purpose of President Mitchell's
Visit to the Metropolis.
Strike interest yesterday centered on
New York, where National President
Mitchell turned up unexpectedly on
some mysterious mission. The des
patches reported him first as being
there, according to his own declaration,
to bid good bye to some- friends who
were off for Europe. Later despatches
tended to show that this was u diplo
matic evasion. Instead ot going to the
river front ho went to the Holland
House and was closed with one Herbert
Taylor, represented to be a soft coal
man from Chicago.
There was no end of speculation here
ns to the object of the hurried and
secret visit of Mr. Mitchell to the
metropolis and his conference with
Mr. Taylor. With memories of tho
"Mysterious Mr. Guernsey," of the last
strike some were prone to attach con
siderable importance to the mysterious
Mr. Taylor, but nothing that came to
the public tended to warrant this.
The local headquarters of the United
Mine workers were deserted yesterday,
on account of President NIcholls and
the other officers being at the Nantlcokc
convention. Nothing of a startling
nature came from the convention to
relievo the local dullness of the strike
situation.
MR. KERR IN THE CITY.
Made a Bid for the Lease of the New
Theatre at Pittston Changes
Contemplated.
John L. Kerr, manager of tho Itels
circuit of theatres, accompanied by
Booking- Agent Forrester, came here
from Syracuse yesterday und spent the
day with Local Manager A. J. Duffy,
conferring about the Scranton end of
tho circuit's business.
Mr. Kerr stated that the last season
In Scranton was remarkably successful
despite tho street cur strike and ex
pressed the belief that -no other city in
the country could have made anything
like the same showing under such ad
verse circumstances. Scranton, he
said, is rapidly approaching the posi
tion of a show t6wn of the flrst-class
and in the matter of attractions is to
bo treated accordingly during the com
ing season. The Lyceum, he said, is
to have the best attractions that go out
on the road nnd as conditions may war
rant it, the best drawing shows are to
bo billed for more than one perfor
mance. The Academy of Music, which
also had a big season, is to be conduct
ed on tho same general lines as last
year.
Mr. Kerr and P. J. Casey, of Casey
Bros., owners of the two theatres, dis
cussed the advisability of enlarging
and Improving tho Academy of Music
to make of It the leading theatre and
have the Lyceum for the popular
priced entertainments. The Lyceum is
all that could be desired In the way of
a theatre except in the matter of seat
ing capacity In which regard it Is per
manently restricted. The Academy of
Music, with Its long and useless lobby,
permits of considerable extension. Mr.
Casey said he would take the matter
up with ills brother on the latter's re
turn from his Kuropeun trip. If next
season's business encourages It, thero
is more than a likllhood of the Lyceum
being Scranton's second-best theatre
before another season opens.
Lust evening Mr. Kerr, accompanied
by Mr. Duffy, went to Pittston to ne
gotiate a lease of the new theatre to bo
built there by A. J. Barber & Co., Dr.
Troxell and others. Mr. Kerr mudo a
bid for the leuse but the owning com
pany did not Immediately accept It.
The matter was left subject to future
negotiations. The contract for the con
struction of the theatre has been left
to Mathlas Stlpp, of this city.
Mr. Kerr and Mr. Forrester leave to
day for Heading to lease a new the
atre there. At present tho nets circuit
comprises twenty-nine houses,

PROGRESS OP
THE NEW ROAD
HOW THE CONSTRUCTION WORK-ADVANCES.
Seven Hundred Men Aro Now Em
ployed in Hastening Its Comple
tionPower Houbo and Car Shops
Are Going Up, Grading, Tracklny
ing and Bridge Building Are Near
ing Completion and' Machinery
nnd Road Equipment Are Arriving,
Insldo of a Year the Company Will
Have Spent $12,000,000.
Seven hundred men engineers, nrtls
nns and laborers aro now at work,
between Cnrbondnlo and WIlkcs-Barrc,
rushing tho construction of the new
"cannon ball electric road.
The walls of tho power house and
foundations of the car shops, on the
terminal property along Roaring
Brook, where the old rolling mill stood,
nro under wuy: tho first shipment of
electrical machinery. Including hollers,
which are to geneiatc tho 12,000 horse
power for tho operation of the road, has
arrived; the grading of the terminal
plot and the roadway throughout the
terminal property Is fast nearlng com
pletion, nnd in the course of a few
weeks the big task of confining the
wandering Roaring Brook in a straight
and narrow slulcewuy will bo undertak
en'. Four miles of double track have al
ready been laid on the Scranton and
Northeastern stretch of the rond be
tween this city and Pittston. Yester
day, a stone crusher plant was put in
operation near the -Conncll brick yard,
on tho "meadow's," in South Scranton,
which will prepare u thousand cubic
yards of ballast every day. John R.
Lee, who has the ballasting contract,
will begin this work nt once.
GRADING ALMOST DONE.
The grading between Scranton and
Pittston is practically completed. A
short stretch, near Mooslu and from
the Pittston city line to the Pittston
terminal, Is about all that remains to
be done to make the whole line ready
for rails. Tho 680 foot viaduct which
crosses the Delaware and Hudson and
Lehigh Valley tracks und Main street
in Avoca, at a maximum height of
eighty feet, Is more than half In place,
and will bo finished by the end of the
month. It Is of heavy steel construc
tion and will permit, of trains crossing
It without slackening their speed.
The 9,000 tons of rails required for
the entire line have been manufactured,
and all of them delivered and distrib
uted except those to be used on the
Northern and Lackawanna 'line, which
extends from Scranton to Carbpndale.
Orders for the shipment of these lat
ter were sent yesterday from the com
pany's ofllco In this city. AH of tho
208,000 eight-foot ties are on the ground.
Three sub-contractors are at work
grading the Central Valley Rapid
Transit company branch of the road,
which Is to connect Pittston and
Wllkes-Barre. There Is comparative
ly little cutting or filling to be done on
this stretch on account of the level na
ture of the country, but the construc
tion will be, nevertheless, very expen
sive as a number of steel bridges will
have to be put in to avoid grade cross
ings. ROUTES SURVEYED.
The route between Carbondale and
Scranton has been surveyed and the
right of way nearly all acquired. For
obvious reasons the company has not as
yet made public the location of this
route. Like the rest of the road? how
ever, it will be over a private right of
way and free from grade crossings for
every foot of Its distance.
Temporarily, tho road will come into
the centre of Scranton by way of a
spur along the south bank of the Roar
ing Brook, and the old gravity road,
from tho point where tho main line
reaches the southern end of the city.
Eventually It will come direct from the
corner of Elm street and Irving avenue
through a terminal under the South
Side which will follow tho course of
Irving avenue. The old mine workings
under the South Side will bo utilized In
part for the tunnel, thero being a main
road extending almost straightaway
along this course.
The poles which aro being erected
along the graded right of way give
some the Impression that the new road
is to use the trolley system of power
transmission. This Impression is er
roneous. The poles are to carry the
cables which will transmit the power
from the central station to tho sub-stations,
but not to any trolley wire. The
power will be transmitted to the cars
by another method. What this method
is has not as yet been fully disclosed.
It Is understood the method to bo cm
ployed Is something absolutely new,
which the Westlnghouse people will In
stall for the flrst'time on this road, and
which Is one of the chief things relied
upon to demonstrate the company's
claim that electricity Is to eventually
supplant steam on railroads,
TELEPHONE SYSTESI.
Tho poles will also bo utilized In
carrying the wires ot the telephone
system which the company Is Installing
the wholo length of Its line.
Before nnother year has rolled by the
company will have spent $12,500,000 In
the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys.
