Chief among these Is a new mid mod
em switchboard, which will do away
with the necessity of subscribers ring
ing when making a cull. The now
switchboard will be the most modern
In the possession of the Bell people
and will be a great improvement on the
present one.
It Is also proposed by the company
to extend Us underground conduits a
mile or more during the summer. The
underground line extending from the
exchange to the corner of West Lacka
wanna nnd Main avenues Is to be ex
tended down Main avenue to Jackson
street. Extensions will also be made
on Moir court, between Olive unci Gib
son streets: Forest court, between Lin
den and Vine streets, and Linden street,
from the board of trade building to
Kressler court. This will mean the
burying of hundreds of overhead wires,
When the work is completed the com

underground ducts, carrying twenty
flve miles of cables, each containing 120
pairs of wires.

testing teams will be the Arllngtons
and Independents, and a lively and
close contest Is expected.
The Arllngtons, of which AVilllam
Jleister is captain, are at present In the
lead, and even If they should lose all
three games, they cannot be headed off.
Tho remaining teams stand as follows:
Franklins, Beckers, South Scranton,
Cambrians.
The weather has now become far too
warm for match bowling, and although
there will continue to be plenty of Indi
vidual rolling during the summer, theie
will be no more league work until au
tumn. Tonight's games will complete a
season which has been eventful in the
history of the game's sudden and
rocket-like popularity in this city.
MANY' BOWLING ALLEYS.
Bowling alleys have sprung up
throughout the central city apd sub
urbs, as though by magic, and whereas
three years ago bowling leagues were
merely idle fantasies of tho old fellows
who used to do their rolling on the
green, now there are so many city, club
and county bowling tournaments on
during the winter, that there's never a
night when enthusiastic crowds arc
not cheering their favorites on to vic
tory. The city has maintained its reputa
tion as a producer of good athletes In
this branch, as well as all others, and
proportionately as many good bowlers
may be found in Scranton as any city
in the country. There are a. number of
exceptionally crackcrjack tenpins art
ists, who can give tho bowling leaders
of the country a hard run for their
111O110V.
William Hopkins, captain of the
Backus team, made the season's record,
In his splendid average of over 201, for
thirty games on the Ilanipe alleys.
This is fast rolling, nnd would conic
pretty near winning first prize In any
tournament, no matter how fast or
how many were the participants in it.
NO 300 SCORES HERE.
It is a strange fact that, despite the
enormous number of games, either
match or Individual, which have been
bowled here, a 300 score has never been
chalked up on the scoring slate. It is
true that 300 scores aren't very plenti
ful, but still they have been already
made In the majority of cities where
bowling is popular.
The high score record of Scranton Is
still held by Charles Fowler, of the
Green Ridge Wheelmen, who made 2SS
on tho Elk alleys, a couple of years
ago. Effort arter effort has been made
to break this, but it still remains as
the goal, towards which the knights of
the pin doughtily press forward.
FELL DOWN FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
Serious Injuries Sustained by Mrs.
Donlin, of Lackawanna Avenue,
Sergeant of Police Charles Ridgway
was, last night, Informed that Mrs.
Donllu, of IS Lackawanna avenue, had
fallen down a lllght' of stairs at her
homo and was seriously Injured. He
went to the house, with Patrolman
Louis Goerlltz, and found the woman
apparently In severe pain.
She had a halt-dazed, dreamy! look
ubout her, which it was later deter
mined was the result of the use of nar
cotics, a habit to which she is addicted.
She was taken to the Lackawanna hos

KILLING OP VINAZZA.
Coroner J. F. Saltry Conducted an
Inquest in the Case In the
Court House Last Night.
Coroner J. F. Saltry conducted an In
quest last night In the case of Lulgl
A'lnazza, whose denld body was found
near the stockade surrounding the
William A. colliery at Lackawanna on
the morning of July 1. A large hole
was found behind Vlnazza's right car,
where evidently a bullet of large cull
bre had entered. An examination of
the head by Coroner Saltry failed to
reveal the bullet however.
The principal witness last night was
Bcttoto Gulseppe, who was with Vln
azza when he was killed. Guiscppo
has been in this country since April
2,"), and even through an Interpreter It
was difllciilt lo get his testimony. He
contradicted himself several times, evi
dently because he misunderstood the
questions.
Gulseppe has known Vlnazza for
eight or nine years and their friend
ship has always boon close, he said.
On June 30 they came to this city and
remained here until 3 or 4 o'clock, when
they went to Bellevuc and remained
until 9 o'clock at night with friends.
During the day they had six or seven
glasses of beer apiece, but were not in
toxicated. They got on a trolley car
after leaving Bcllovue and rode to
Mudtown and started to walk from that
point to their boarding place at Con
nelltou. On the way toward the Wil
liam A. colliery they met two other
Italians, and they all walked along to
gether until they reached tho homes
of their two companions near the
breaker, when they separated.
The witness and Vlnazza continued
their journey, the latter a few steps
ahead, but they had passed on only a
very short distance from the point
where the other two Italians left them,
when a shot was fired from behind and
the witness felt a bullet whiz along his
bead and tear the leaf of his hat. He
was dazed and frightened by the shot
and fell to the ground, but a moment
later got up und started for home. He
hits only the vaguest kind of nn Idea
of what happened from that time until
the next morning. He does not remem
ber having heard any shot other than
the one that struck his hat, and did
not see his companion shot or observe
him fall. They had no words or quarrel
with anyone. When asked If he went
to sen the body the next morning he
said he "did not have the heart to go,"
but later In the day saw it In the un
dertaker's In this city.
Gulseppe said he did not have a re
volver that night and hnd never owned
such a weapon. Neither did Vlnazza
have a revolver that night or at any
other time. When they started for
home that night Vlnazza had between
$G and ?7 on his person. When the
body was found there was but fifteen
cents and a cheap silver watch which
Guiscppo said the dead man had car
ried for some time in his pockets. A
live chamber revolver containing emp
ty shells was also found In the clothes
of the deceased.
Rancliette Deniinico and Paterna
Umberto, the -two men who were the
companions of Vlnazza and Guiscppe
along a portion of the road, said that
when they reached their home they bid
their companions good night and en
tered tho house. No sooner were they
Inside than they heard a shot. .They
rushed to a window, and looking out
toward the colliery saw the Hash of
four or five shots fired from the top
of the gates In the stockade. They
were afraid and did not go out to In
vestigate the cause of tho shooting.
The inquest will be resumed tonight
at 7 p. m.
Attorneys C. P. O'Malley and M. J,
Martin were present at the heating as
the representatives of tlio coal and
iron police under arrest. The Jury con
sists of Jonah Hapgood, John C, Roche,

DESERTER BACK
IN THE RANKS
A LITTLE STRIKE ENLIVEN
MENT AT JESSUP.
Italian Who Endeavored to Induce
Miners to Return to Work Is Wait
ed Upon at His Home by n Com
mittee of Two Hundred and Con
vinced of the Error of His Ways.
Coal Company Clerks Given Vaca
tions with Orders to Report for
Duty August 1.
Jcssup was, last night, the scene of a
bit of strike cnllvenincnt which threat
ened for a time to assume a very seri
ous phase. ,
An Italian, named Frank Gurdan, has
been about lately trying to Induce men
to sign a paper agreeing to return to
work at tho Dolph colliery.
Last night, two hundred strikers sur
rounded his house, called him out and
proceeded to convert him. It was not
necessary for them to put Into practice
the measures they might have had In
mind for effecting his conversion, for
when Gurdan saw the crowd he sank
on his knees and swore by everything
ho held sacred, he would give up his
capyass and be a good union man.
This Is the first real disclosure of the
fact that a canvass Is being made to
secure the return to work of strikers,
but It Is only what has been alleged
for two weeks past and which various
little circumstances have tended lo
corroborate.
GIVEN VACATIONS.
What may or may not be significant
Is the fact that the Delaware and Hud
son company, yesterday, directed Its
coal department clerks to take their
annual vacations at once and report
for duty Aug. 1. Ordinarily the clerks
are allowed to take vacations during
the summer In small squads. Yester
day practically tho whole force received
Instructions to take their vacations
now. One of them was told: "Bo back
by Aug. t. You will be needed then."
Superintendent Rose like all the oth
er superintendents continues to deny
that any effort Is being made to start
up collieries, but these denials arc be
ginning to bear the semblance of "dip
lomatic evasions," In the light of vari
ous circumstances. It can be counted
upon as a surety that there will be
collieries in operation In this region on
Aug. 1.
There Is some possibility of a conflict
between the municipal and state au
thorities by reason of the fact that
Sheriff Schadt has men detailed to
preserve order around the Grassy Island
washery at Olyphant. Burgess Man
ning has notified Sheriff Schadt that
deputlesiare not needed there and that
If they interfere with the local police
they will be arrested. Sheriff Schadt
says "Ha, Ha," and continues to keep
a squad of his men at the washery.
Just what the burgess had In mind
when he made his threat is not very
clear. Sheriff Schadt was not suffic
iently concerned to seek an ellucldation,
NOT HIRING STRIKERS.
Farmers In the territory adjacent to
Scranton are not hiring many strikers.
Usually, at this time, there Is a big
demand for farm help. This year, on
account of the strike, the fanners have
not as much planting as In former
years, believing there would be a poor
market for their produce. This, coupled
with tliplr animosity ngainst the
strikers, makes them refuse work o
the strikers.
There wore no arrests yesterday in
Magistrate W. S. Millar's crusade
against the hotelkeepers who refuse
drink to non-union employes. Evidence
is being accumulated, however, and
Magistrate Millar said last night that
he will vigorously push the cases, as
soon as he returns from the Gettysburg
encampment.
SPECIAL MEETING TONIGHT.
Call Issued for Session of High and
Training School Committee.,
A special meeting of the High and
Training school coirii'ttcc of the board
of control has beencalled for 7.30
o'clock this evening, and it is expected
that a large amount of business will be
transacted.
The members will probably discuss
the question as to whether the Increase
in the number of pupils at the High
school warrants nn Increase In the
teaching force there. While Principal
Joslyn has not formally applied for any
extra teachers, still he has signified
that the addition of one more instructor
would be duly appreciated.
A number of applications have been
made for positions at the High school,
and It is likely that the committee will
give the matter serious consideration
tonight.
ACTIONS IN TRESPASS.
Suits Begun Yesterday Against the
City of Scranton.
Two actions in trespass were begun
yesterday against the city of Scranton,
John Shields, who owns a property at
439 and 441 Phelps street, Is the plain
tiff In one suit. He alleges that on July
28, 1901, and at divers other times, be
cause of the change of grade of Phelps
street, water was diverted onto his
property and it was damaged to the ex
tent of $2,000. Ho Is represented by At
torneys Balentlne & Howell.
Mrs. Bridget Wal&b, who is repre
sented by Attorneys I, H, Burns and C.
B, Little, owns a property at 1313 Penn
avenue, She charges that the city filled
up a natural water course close to her
property, with the result that each
rainstorm throws a large quantity of
water on her land, which has Injured
the walls, rotted the timbers und made
the place uninhabitable for long spells.
She asks damuges In the sum of 53,000.
AN ENJOYABLE OUTING,
Attended by Employes of Interna
tional Textbook Company,
A number of the employes of the In
ternational Textbook company enjoyed
an outing to Nay Aug pai;k Tuesday

Shirt Waist Talk
All Shirt Waists are good. Some are better than oth'ers.
Ours are of the better kind. A little better cloth, a little better
fit, a nd a little better sewing, n little more care all around, are
the improvements we offer with our Waists, besides the re
duced prices.
White Shirt Waists
Seasonable and Reasonable.
White Lawn Waists, tucked and hemstitched, solid and
cluster of tncks, dainry and desirable. The reduced prices are
as follows:
75c, 1.00, 1.25, 1.35, 1.50, 1.69, l.?5,
2.00, 2.25, 2.50, 2.75, 2.98 and 3.50.
There is more than we like to look at; our eyes' tire of the
abundance. That's why we are willing to take less money for
them.
Silken Silk Waists
For Summer Wear
Cs Don't take our say-so for it; take time enough to run in here
and look over the offerings in summer Silk Waists.
JS From $2.98 to $4.98.
It is a woman's way. She is born with a taste for pretty
rt things. You will certainly admire these beautiful Waists, prob-

Closing Out Sale
Of Porch Furniture
Up to within the past week the weather has been
anything but favorable for the disposing of goods as
strictly summery as porch furniture, yet we have had
an unusually large sale of these goods.
The high quality and low prices of the line we
have been offering is the only reason we know of for
the unexpected demand.
Besides deducting the freight (which we saved by
buying in car lots and which amounts to about ij per
ceut.) we have also cut the regular profits and have
thus brought our selling price far below the usual price
of furniture of similar quality.
Chairs, Rockers and Settees
Settees with or without Rockers
In this line is found the best porch furniture that
cau be produced from sound white maple with con
tinuous reed seat and back. The workmanship
