"There's a man that makes a rattling
good tonBttnastcr," admiringly re
marked one of the gucstR nt Major
Frank nobtlng's "pink ten," Wednes
day night nt tho Gettysburg encamp
ment. Tho speaker pointed to Lieuten
ant David J, Davis, as he spoke, and
then looked around llercely to see It
anyone was going to chnllengc his as
sertion, None did, however, nnd tho harmony
of the occasion therefore remained Un
broken, The genernl opinion was that
Lieutenant Davis' admirer was right,
for tho adjutant of the Second bat
talion had been distinguishing himself
throughout tho gathering by a series of
llghtnlng-llko thrusts and parries, sharp
and clever sullies, often personal, but,
though occasionally biting, never of
fensive. In addition to being npt as a toast
muster, Lieutenant Davis Is also "all
there," when It conies to soldiering. He
was formerly a lleutennnt In Company
F, when that command wits the West
Scranton company of the regiment, nnd
he Is both recognized as an efllclent
soldier by his superior olllcers and Is
popular with the men In the ranks.
Lieutenant Davis Is usslstant city
solicitor.
One ot the youngest nnd most suc
cessful business men In tho city Is
Thotnns K. Price, the West Scranton
newsdealer, -who Is a prime mover In
the nnnunl outings arranged for the
newsboys and girls of the city. Every
year ho marshals several hundred of
them in the parade and looks after
thelr.pleasure ntid comfort at tho park.
Mr. Price started his business enreer
as a barber's upprentlce, at tho same
time supplying several hundred cus
tomers with Sunday papers. Eventually
he bought out tho news business of
"Mac" in West Scranton, nnd has con
ducted it successfully ever since.
Some time ago he was offered the
general agency for all the metropolitan
newspapers entering the city, but owing
to his extensive business interests he
was compelled to decline the offer, nnd
devote himself to his barber trade nnd
local news business.

During tho greater part of that time
he bus been a sufferer from purpuric

his large circle of friends.
Ho commenced his business training

he remained for several years. About
fifteen years ago he entered into a co
partnership with J. H. Kelly under tho
firm name of Kelly & Henley, conduct

President J. L. Crawford, of the
People's Coal company, yesterday gave
out nn interesting letter regarding his
company's experiences during tho
strike nnd Its Intentions to resume
operations. He says:
Scranton, Pa., July 2S, 1902.
I notice by the press reports, If Mr.
Nichols Is quoted correctly, that he says
that 1 was binding when I Issued tho
notice to our former employes that the
Oxford colliery Intended to start up in
tho near future. I emphatically deny thu
chnrge, but ncknovledgo thnt 1 may bu
mistaken. 1 suppose Mr. Nichols has
based his argument on what ho has been
able to prevent mo from doing In the
past three mouths, and I also acknowl
edge that ho has put me to great expense
nnd Inconvenience by the tactics that
he hns used. I will also make n plain
acknowledgment of some of tho Incon
veniences he has put mo to. I will nlso
acknowledge that he has caused me to
change tho details of many of my plnns
In order to counteract his great Influ
ence. I will nlso acknowledge everything
thnt has been done Inside of our feneo
In tho past three months and nlso con
fess what I expect to do.
My experience In the past has taught
mo to be frank In my dealings with nil
men, and If 1 made n mistake throtish
error of Judgment or neglect of duty, my
cnslest way out of It was to acknowledge
It. I will nlso acknowledge that my trou
bles began light after the executive board
meeting In Scranton when the temporary
suspension was declared. As there was a
small squeeze In one portion of tho mines
at that time, I had men timbering and
lagging It up, which Mr. Theophllus Phil
lips tried to stop before the Hazleton
convention had convened.
NO GRIEVANCES.
We have It from tho lips of Mr. Phil
lips that when they wero at tho Sha
mokln convention that he took tho floor
and said that ho was proud to represent
a local that had no grievances. And I am
not nwaro of conditions changing be
tween the Shamokln convention nnd tho
Hazleton convention, notwithstanding his
actions in trying to stop tho timbermen.
I also acknowledge thnt Mr. Nichols
and his associates huvo continued to nn
noy our steam men. When I went
around to seo who was going to con
tinue to work, when tho engineers nnd
firemen were called out, I was Invariably
told by all tho men that they wore satis
fied with their present conditions ot work
and the wages desplto the fact that tho
union officials had notified them If they
wero to continue to work and .save my
property from destruction that when tho
strike was over they would not be al
lowed to work around the colliery. I also
acknowledge I was sure that tho of
ficials oftho union would have nothing
to say when tho time came. Tho men
wero willing to sign a contract, tho gist
of which was that they agreed to work
under tho present conditions of work
nnd at their present occupation nnd
wages or at any other work that might
bo designated by tho superintendent. On
my part I agreed to employ them for a
definite length of time, and at any timo
I could not employ them I agreed to pay
them their wages for the length of time
they were ready for employment.
I nlso acknowledge that Mr. Nichols
has succeeded in forcing threo of my
men to break their contract. First was
a fireman who was tho only support of a
widowed mother.' Sir. Nichols, or those
ho sent to her, told her thnt the son
would bo killed If ho continued to work
nnd nlso tried to scare tho son by meet
ing him on the roads nnd making threats.
The mother went Into hysterics, nnd this
annoyance was continued until tho son
thought best to quit work. Next wns a
young mnn who was annoyed contlnunlly
nt his boarding placo and consequently
had to leave work, because ho could not
find another placo. The third was nn
extra man,, nround the placo, who was
forced to break his contract on account
of fear of bodily harm. In fact, nil of
our men havo been stopped on tho rond
or have been forced to walk blocks
around to keep out of danger.
ARRIVED LATER.
I acknowledge that tho first lot of for
eigners that came here after wc started
tho rock work were expected on an even
ing train and 1 had men to conduct them
from tho depot to tho mines, and through
falluro to rnnke connections at AVllkes
Barre they did not arrive on that train,
and wo supposed they wero not coming.
But tho men arrived on a later trnln,
nnd as only ono had ever been to our
mines before, they came up tho railroad
switch. When they passed the crossing
nt Scranton street your sympathizers fol
lowed them, coming with their bundles,
and after they had gotten on our prop
erty outside of the fenco tho pursuers
stoned them nnd hit several, some ot
whom nro laid up yet. But they went
on nnd got Inside ot the feneo and I ac
knowledge that theso men were some
what scared, being In a strange town
In the middle ot tho night, with soveral
of tholr number Injured and somo had
lost their belongings. A part of them
only stayed until about 1 o'clock in the
morning; we dressed their wounds tho
best wo could nnd six of thb number left.
Wo got them to tho depot unknown to
nny of your pickets and sent them homo.
Part of theso who havo recovered from
their Injuries nnd nro alio to work have
returned. Tho others that wero unin
jured stayed right along.
I acknowledge that since wo havo start
ed rock work that this nnnoynnco has
been continued nnd n number of men
havo been kept front woik through
threats and promise of relief, I also ac
knowledge that al but threo of these
men, not having received their relief,
havo returned to work. I also acknowl
edge thnt many havo been boycotted in
different ways', nnd In all cases I hava
tho names of nil tho men who havo been
boycotted, nnd In many rases tho names
of the parties thut havo made threats,
I do not havo to go hack nny further
than this morning to glvo you tho names
of somo of the parties that made threats,
As early as 4 o'clock your pickets were
on tho ground watching to stop anybody
that might approach tho mines, Tho
three that wero stationed nt tho corner
of Tenth and Scmnton Btreots tiled In
several Instances to stop tho men pass
ing, but I also had pickets out nnd pre
vented them. Theso three men, whoso
names we havo, told ono of our guards
"If they had tho pang hero this morning
that they expected ho nnd n lot morn
would bo hanging from a telegraph pole."
OIVES WARNING.
I acknowledge that I was awnro thero
was a gang organized to mob tho placo
this morning, but tho only ones that ap
peared wero 'General Coxer," Colonel
Walsh and threo or four more of tho off
fleers, but nono of the privates of
"Coxcy's Aims"' put In their appearance.
I hereby warn "General Coxey'1 to keep
off tho scats.
, I acknowledge thut I know nosltlvelv
that thero wero only nlno men in the Ox
ford oiiJ that voted fo," strike, and
nmoni: theso nine men thero wero ex-
employes who had been discharged for
disobeying rules of tho mine, nnd I can
not see any reason why nlno nlbti out of
300 or 400 should keep my placo Idle. I
also acknowledge thnt all 1 ask Is fair
Piny,
1 nlso acknowledge that from my more
than thirty yonrs' experience around tho
mines thnt I rcnllicd Inst fall that this
strike would tnko place In tho near fu
ture nnd 1 commenced preparing for It,
I acknowledge that I put a good substan
tial fence around my property, that I
erected nn electric light plant, thut I
strung wire around tho fenco and 1 dis
tributed tho lights In such a wny that
every foot of tho fence is maclo light
duilng tho night. 1 nlso acKiiowlcdgo
thut I havo guards walking around this
fenco nil hours of tho night with Win
chester rifles In their hands. I acknowl
edge thnt In tho day tlmo 1 have tho
fenco nnd nil tho adjacent streets cov
ered by a very strong glass, ono when
turned on tho house of Colonel Wntres
on the mountain nbovo Dunmoro would
make you think you could reach out nnd
touch It. And through this instrument
wo enn keep In "tab" on nil tho men
In this vicinity. Whllo wo can bring
them so closo that wo can seo their eye
brows, I acknowledge that wo cannot
hear what they say,
I nlso acknowledge that I havo detec
tives In this vicinity, nono of whom havo
ever stepped their foot on our property
nnd nro not known to nny of our em
ployes. Through them nnd tho various
other agencies wo havo been nblo to in
tercept nil tho men thnt you or your
agents havo tried to get work hero In
order to reach the men that wo hnvo
working. We acknowledge that wo novo
had hem como morning utter morning
with promise to see what wo could do
for them until they have gotten tired
of applying. I acknowledge that I havo
a commissary department, a building
22 by 02 feot, divided up In a dining room
and a sleeping department, with a kitch
en ndded on nnd we havo nil the men in
It that we ran accommodate, and wo nro
even now placing cots In the dining room
ut night to nccommodato tho number.
We have It lighted with electric lights;
also havo electric fans for ventilation
during tho worm nights. I nlso acknowl
edge that 1 am now equipping another
sleeping apartment that wilt accommo
date fifty more, and If any more men ap
ply who en n't get board, I have other
buildings that I can equip, and I will do
It. I acknowledge that wo havo a good
many men coming nnd going from their
work, nnd 1 acknowledge that I have
them licensed to carry weapons nnd have
furnished them with revolvers nftd In tho
morning when coming to work they de
posit their revolvers In the office and get
them ngnln when going home. I also ac
knowledge that I have guns, and If they
think their revolvers aro not largo
enough I can furnish them with those.
ASHAMED OF CONDITIONS.
1 acknowledge that I, as a free born
American citizen, am ashamed that the
conditions exist in our midst that compel
mo to muko tho above preparations In
order to protect my property! and tho
peoplo that aro willing to nsslst mo In
so doing, and for tho protection of thoso
that nro compelled to work in order to
support their families.
I seo no improvement in your organi
zation over that of years ago. I ac
knowledge that in lSliO, when I was work
ing in tho mines and I belonged to tho
old Miners' union and worked In nnd
around tho mines until that union was
out of existence, nnd have since been
familiar with all tho unions that havo
been In tho coal fields from that day to
this, and I must say that I can't sec any
Improvement In your organization over
tho one 1 belonged to. For the boy Is
Just as anxious to tako the hull by tha
horns and shake him as wo wero In
thoso days. And tho older men at that
time enjoyed themselves just as much in
criticising the management of the mines
they work around ns they do now, and 1
don't seo nny difference in regard to
their trying to dictate tho policies ot
working the mines, and wo wero Just ns
persistent In trying to force tho opera
tors to reinstate any of our number that
wero dismissed for disobeying rules or
for nny other cause, as tho boys of tho
present organization.
While there has been great improve
ment in mining machinery from one part
of the region to another nnd in tho modo
of traveling from ono placo to another,
I do not see any Improvements that have
been gotten up by tho modern ngitator.
In tho olden days wo used to havo all
our meetings In tho open nlr nnd every
body was at liberty to go and hear what
was being said and done. I venture to
say that I can tell more now what has
been going on Inside of the doors of tho
Oxford local and several other locals
than I could In tho days when I stood In
the first row.
NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
I ncknowledge from tho foregoing
statement you might think that I was
looking for trouble, I will assure you
that I am not. It would look to tho out
side world that I was preparing for war
In time' of peace, which Is nlso not true.
There has been no peace In this region
for the past two or threo years. While
I havo had tho white flag iloatlng nnd
with tho hopes ot Its being accepted as
a flag of truce, and I know by my own
personnl knowledgo that nil tho super
intendents nnd managers of other com
panies have been doing likewise with tho
hopes that you might ceaso your con
tlnunl waving of tho red flag. Now, I
assure you that I shall continue to float
the flag of truce after this strike is over
nnd I know that tho other operators in
this region will do tho samo It you will
only make ns plain nn acknowledgment
of tho facts, as you must know thut you
cannot continue to deceive tho thinking
miners of your district. I can probably
go through your district nnd shnko hands
CLAIMS IT HAS
A LEGAL RIGHT
DEFENSE HEARD IN AROHBALD
WASHERY CASE.
Elk Hill Coal nnd Iron Company
Puts in Evidence to Show Thnt tho
Borough Gave It Permission to
Take Wnter from the River to tho
Wnshery nnd Inferentlnlly to Lot
It Flow Back Again Another Caeo
of Guernsey Against Guernsey.
Suit in Slander Instituted.
Continued an raze 8.
Evidence for the defense was heard,
yesterday, by Judge Ncwcomb, In tho
Injunction case of the borough of Arch
bald et ul, against the Elk Hill Conl
nnd Iron company, In which a rule has
been granted to rcstrnln the defendant
from discharging water from Its wash
cry Into the city gutters.
With the testimony produced, the
day before, the plaintiffs sought, to
show that the company Is doing this
without the alleged necessary permis
sion of the borough and that the act
constitutes a nuisance.
Yesterday tho company put In tcstl
money to show that at the point where
the water from tho wnshery Is dis
charged, there is a natural stream, and
that this stream runs through a. slulce
wny built by the company through
nn arrangement with the borough, and
then through a box culvert, under
Mnln street, which culvert was con
structed with the sanction of the old
plunk road company which owned the
roadway.
It was also shown that the borough
gave the company permission to tuke
water from tho river to the wnshery,
through pipes laid along borough
streets, nnd that ns there is palpably
no means of getting rid of the water,
after It Is used at the wnshery, except
by allowing It to course back through
the borough streets to the river, In
ferential permission to do this nttached
to the permit to take the water to the
washery.
As to the plaintiffs' allegation that
the washery water coursing through
an open sluiceway was a menace to
health, Dr. W. K. Dolan testified that
sulphur water coursing through a street
gutter tended to the betterment of the
health of tho neighborhood as tho sul
phuric acid, contained in such water
destroyed germs generated In gutter
sewerage.
In the afternoon, Judge Newcombo
accompalned by ex-Judge J. W. Car
penter, R. J. Bourke and John J.
Murphy, attorneys for the plaintiffs,
nnd J. E. Burr and O'Brien & Martin,
attorneys for the defense, went to
Archbald to personally Inspect the
premises.
Arguments will be heard tomorrow
morning.
Guernsey Against Guernsey.
J. W. Guernsey, proprietor of the big
music house, Guernsey hall, brought
suit, yesterday, through Willard, War
ren & Knapp, agulnst M. W. Guernsey,
a former employe, now doing business
in the music line, ns Guernsey Bros.,
to restrain the defendant from selling
pianos on which is stencilled the name
"Guernsey," and to compel him to give
an accounting of profits made by the
alleged fraudulent use of the name
"Guernsey" on pianos he has sold.
Tho plaintiff contends that as ho hus
spent much money and effort In mak
ing the name "Guernsey" celebrated
In tho piano market, he should havo
the exclusive right tose It on pianos.
The action of Guernsey Bros. In using
tho word "Guernsey" us a name for
pianos they have sold, is characterized
as fraudulent.
A preliminary injunction, restraining
tho defendant from using the name
"Guernsey,'.' on pianos, was granted by
Judge Ncwcomb', together with a rule,
returnable next Monday, to show cause
why the injunction should not be made
permanent.
