BULLETS FLEW
THICK AND PAST
FIERCE BATTLE BETWEEN THE
GUARDS AND STRIKERS.
Throop Was Last Night the Scene
of a Desperate Conflict Lasting
Nearly nn Hour Deliberate At-
1 tempt to Kill a Mine Superintend
ent Leads to n Battlo Such as
Would Bo Expected in Regular
Warfare Combatnnts on Opposite
Sides of the River.
Throop was last night the sccno of
the most thrilling strike conflict that
has thus far occurred In the Scranton
district.
OTIlccis guarding the pump house' of
the Pancoast washcry andiTstrlkcrs In
two commanding positions engaged In
battle such as might be looked for In
regular warfare. Scores of shots were
exchanged and both sides shot with
apparent determination to kill, but as
far as can be learned no one was hit.
That there were not a number of fatal
ities Is remarkable.
One week ago today the company
opened up Its washcry under guutd of
coal and Iron police furnished by the
Barring ugency. There was dally dem
onstrations by the strikers and several
times shots were fired at the washery.
Up till yesterday the washery was
run with water pumped from the mine.
Yesterday the company had recourse
to an auxiliary supply, furnished by a
pumping station, located on the bank
of the river about one hundred yurds
from the washery.
The strikers had evidently expected
the company would soon make use of
the pumping station for when workmen
went there yesterday morning to put
the machinery in working order they
found a largo heap of oil soaked cotton
waste underneath the wooden floor of
the pump house.
This and the factrthat the sheriff's
proclamation posted on the outskirts of
the company's property had been torn
down during the night gave warning
that the strikers were becoming ugly,
and additional guatds were engaged.
Yesterday at noon, as Superintendent
Allen was standing in the doorway of
the pump house a bullet whizzed by
his head and lodged In the doorpost.
Ho stepped inside the building and got
under cover. Fourteen more shot? were
fired from the same direction in which
the first one came. Thirteen of them
lodged in the partly open door within a
space eight Inches square. The shots
were fired from a knoll northwest of
the pumping station sixty yards dis
tant. The bullets were of 38-calibrc.
The shooting brought four guards
from the washery each bearing a Win
chester repeating rifle. As they were
approaching the shooting from the
knoll ceased, and Superintendent Allen
emerged from the building.
A crowd, in which there were wo
men and children, appeared on the
knoll. A man, thinking himself unno
ticed, drew partially out of sight be-"-
hind the top of the knoll and some
what apart from the crowd. He hurled
a stone at Superintendent Allen, and
in doing so exposed himself quite fully
to view. Allen popped at him with his
revolver, but missed his mark. At
this the crowd scattered.
It was freely reported that there
would be another attack on the pump
house when night came, and the com
pany prepared to meet it. The guard
was trebled, and each man was sup
plied with a Winchester and plenty of
ammunition. Sheriff Schadt and War
den Simpson, of the county jail, went
to Throop when the noon-day shooting
wns reported, und Warden Simpson
was left there to watcli for another
outbreak. At 7 o'clock in the evening,
a false report of another outbreak
brought the sheriff back to the scene.
A couple of local newspapermen also
went thither and arrived on the ground
in time to get some real war corres
pondent experience.
Darkness had just set In when shots
began to ring out from the brush on
the river bank, opposite the pump
house. Immediately the guards opened
fire with their Winchesters from the
pump house and natural protections
in the Immediate vicinity. Shots also
came from the knoll to the northwest
and the Winchesters made response.
For a period of fifteen minutes the
battle waged fast and furious. Bullets
flew to and fro across the river and
up and down the enfilading knoll. Both
sides kept well under cover, and the
only target the one had was the flashes
from the guns of the other. The
pump house could evidently be fairly
well discerned In the darkness by the
strlkei s, for the sides It piesented to
the attackers wcie fairly Uddled with
bullets.
There was a cry from the strikers'
side of tho river as if some one had
been hit, and soon after this the firing
from that position began to subside.
Desultory shooting continued for
probably half an hour, when it ceased
altogether and tho guards finding that
their shots wete not answered gave
over tho random firing Into the brush.
It Is supposed the battle was ended
by tho strikers exhausting their am
munition. While the battlo was on, tho little
settlement near the boulevard, where
most of tho forolgn clement reside, was
In a state of terror. Some of tho bul
lets from the guard's Winchesters
sped through tho brush and whistled
over and past tho houses. One bullet
lodged in tho house of Joseph Brown,
not far from a lower window. It will
be discovered, probably, with the com
ing of daylight, that other houses were
struck.
Careful Inquiry among tho people of
this settlement at the close of the bat
tle, failed to disclose any explanation
qf the supposed cry of a wounded com
batant, heard towards the endlng'of the
first fierce period of fighting.
Up to the time of going to press,
there had ben no renewal "of hostilities.
Warden Simpson and a squad of guards
remained at the pump-house all night.
Unless some vigorous steps nro taken
to prevent It, another outbreak is like
ly to occur today,
Tfoublo Is also looked for at Duryea
this morning, when another attempt Is
to be rhade to start the Watnke wash
ery, A barbed wire fence was strung
around the washery property yesterday
under the protection of eight coal and
iron police, armed with Winchesters.
The work was not Interfered with, but
it Is expected that an attack wU be
provoked by the washery getting In
operation. Mr. Warnke Is determined
to start the wubhery and bus made ex
tensive plans t,o carry' out his determination.

A Three-Story Structure.
"During Cleveland's first term ub presi
dent he hud built for himself a hand
somo boathouso on the shorn of 'Upper
Saranac lake, near tho Baranac nn, It
was u long, low affair, with a deep ex
cavation beneath for tho stating of boats
and fishing tackle. Davo Cronk, a fa
mous guide of the region, nover tired of
describing tho glories of tho piceldent'a
boathouso, which he icgaided as tlio real
wonder of tho neighborhood. On ono oc
casion nichaid Huiding Davis, then a
leporter In Philadelphia, visited the
president socially and was met at
the btatlon by a native, who said
ho had been bent with his wagon
to dilve tho guest to tho inn.
"There's Mr. Cleveland's now thice-story
boat house,' ho said, passing tho btructr
ure, 'Three story?' asked Mr. Dav3. 'J
see but one.' 'Well,' bald tho native,
there's tho story you see, tho story un
derncath and tho btory Davo Cjonk's
alius tcllln' about It."
A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAMME.
It Was Rendercd-by Students of the
Conservatory Summer School.
The fifty-fourth, recital of the Con
servatory of Music given In the Parish
House last evening was tho first of. two
closing recitals of tho Conservatory
summer school, which has been in ses
sion during the past eight weeks.
The recital opened with an ensemble
number played by the Misses Brandt,
Bedford, Doty, Ehrgood, Gates, Haa3
and Ehrgood. Tho selection was the
"Sailors' Dance," by Koclllng, played
at four pianos. This composition and
the "Reine do Mai," played by the
same classs later in the evening were
charmingly rendered, musically, rhyth
mically and technically.
The first soloist was little Annette
Howell, daughter of Professor George
Howell, who played most gracefully
three delightful little pieces by Swift,
Orth and Ducclle. Anna Wahl Is an
other talented child who played with
spirit and precision two pieces by
Baumfleld and Schnecker. MHUcent
Moore, who is a very studious pupil,
gave the descriptive piece, the Bird's
Song, by Schmoll, with excellent effect.
The playing of Charles Stirn, of
Archbald, a young man not yet out of
his "teens," drew forth hearty ap
plause. A rather difficult selection, "At
the Fountain," by Ducellc, was his
task, but ho rendered it smoothly and
with good expression. The excellence
of his work was the more remarkable
when it was announced that he had
never before played In public.
A selection that required a beautiful
touch and much poetical feeling was
the Stille Liebe, Nocturne In D fiat
major, by Lange, a rather ambitious
number, and these necessary elements
were present to a marked degree In
the playing of Miss Helen Gates,
daughter of Dr. L. M. Gates.
Clara Haas is what the Germans
would call a "wunder kind," a "won
der child," and her rendition of the
difficult concerto movement by Mo
zart captivated the audience. No mat
ter how intricate the passages those
small fingers found their Way through
the labyrinth with not the slightest
hesitation or perturbation.
The most difficult concert selections
were the Mazurka in G. minor, by Saint
Saens, and the Impromptu In C sharp
minor, by Rheinhold.which were played
by Miss Louise Slocum, who has al
ways been a favorite in the Conserva
tory recitals. Miss Slocum is musical
to her finger tips and her work is ar-.
tistlc to a marked degree.
Considerable time was given In this
recital to the exhibition of ,the Fas
ten' Fundamental training Which the
Conservatory is using with such pro
nounced success. Margaret Allen and
Jeanne Vlckers, of Dunmore; Mary
Tracy, of Providence, and Raymond
Hodges, of Scranton, gave a remark
able exhibition of what can bo done In
a few weeks' work under this system.
With them should be mentioned Kath
erine Dunning, of Green Ridge," and
Ruth Wilson, of Dunmore. The most
advancement in ability to transpose
was shown by Ella May Rex, who, as
tho programme stated, could play a
selection In any of the thirty major
and minor keys. Tho keys which the
audience asked for, Including the most
difficult, were correctly given In every
case.
Unison numbers were played by
Charles Spelchcr and Robert Swartz,
who aid surprisingly good work in an
Etude by Behr; Mllllccnt Moore, Letta
Parry and Elizabeth Woyburn, who
played a Valsette by Brown; and
Helen Gates, Clara Haas and Flora
Kaufhold, who played L Ruisseau,
Valse Etude, by Wollenhaupt.
The closing ensemble numbers by the
advanced class were the March from
"Rlensd," played by request, and the
ox'ulslto Hungarian Dance, by
Brahms.

A. J. Kellerman brought in thirteen
points In The Tribune's Educational
Contest yesterday and still further in
creased his hold on first place. He is
now almost an even century ahead of
his nearest competitor, and also has a
pretty good hold on first place among
the leaders for the month. Herbert
Thompson scored ten points and now
holds seventh place by seventy-five
points. If Mr. Thompson continues to
advance as rapidly as ho has recently
those ahead will have to do some ac
tive work to hold their positions. He
is now in seventh place, but those
above are very closely bunched, and It
will only take forty-four additional
points to tie him for third position.
Others who scored points yesterday
were Eddie Morris, 3; Homer Kresge,
3; Wm. T. S. Rodrigues, 2, and Wil
liam Cooper, 1. Mr. Morris and Mr.
Kresge both advanced ono place, the
latter breaking one tie only to make
another. Eddie Morris went to twenty-eighth
position, but is tied with
three others for twenty-fifth.
There was only one change among
the leaders for August, Mr. Thompson
going from fourth to third place, which
he now holds by eight points. The
corrected standing is as follows:
