IS BACK FROM NEW YORK.
City Solicitor Watson Went There
About the Bonds.
City Solicitor George M. Watson was
back nt his offlce In the city hall yes
terday, after a brief trip Monday to
New Yoik, where lie consulted Judge
John P. Dillon, regarding the validity
of the $283,000 issue of bonds which
Hayes & Sons, of Cleveland, have re
fused to accept.
Judge Dillon is investigating the
matter, not at the solicitation of tho
city officials, as has been published,
but in the capacity of consulting at
torney, for a bond house which Is con
templating tho purchase of the bonds.
He will shortly lender an opinion on
the matter, copies of which will be re
ceived by tho municipal authorities,
and by the bond house.
If his opinion is favorable and his
clients accept the bonds, this will com
pletely establish their validity. As
Solicitor Watson remarked yesterday:
"If the bonds are &old, they're good."
This would justify the city in retain
ing as forfeit, the $3,000 check, deposit
ed by Hayes & Sons, when they made'
their original offer for the bonds,
City Solicitor Watson stated yester
day that Judge Dillon appeared to
agree with the opinion which he has
himself expressed, on praetlcully every
point. Judge Dillon Is not quite sure,
however, that the grouping of two Is
sues of bonds into one was a strictly
legal action,
This Is practically tho only tangle In
this Gordlati knot which Is to bo yet
loosened, and Judge Dillon Is now care
fully 'reviewing 11 mass of Information
furnished him on tho mutter, nnd his
opinion Is soon expected.
On Friday, August 29, Messrs. Silas
C. Swallow und Lee L. Grumblne, both
men of national repututlon will deliver
lectures at Nay Aug park at tho tem
perance rally to be held thero on that
date, Tho convention will open at 9.30

ATTEMPT MADE TO
TAKE TWO LIVES
Cold Blooded Effort at Assassination at
Edgerton Washery James Connolly and
Forest Crossman the Victims.
Assassination of the most cold blood
ed kind was attempted late Monday
night at the washery of the Temple
Iron company at Edgerton, between
Jermyn and Mayfleld. James Connolly,
the foreman nt the washery, and Forest
Crossman were both seriously wound
ed. A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the Temple Iron company for arrest
of the person who did the shooting.
The Edgerton washery has been run
ning for weeks and there has been no
attempt to cause trouble there. Mon
day there was a break down of the
machinery, and It was Idle for a time.
To make up for this It was decided to
run the washery at night, the bright
moonlight making this Idea feasible.
No men were employed on the bank
where the refuse from the washery Is
slushed and consequently no guards
were on that part of the property.
About 10.30 o'clock Foreman Connolly
went 'down to the slush bank to see
If everything was all right. He took
Crossman with him. Both of the men
were unarmed. Connolly carried a
lighted mining lamp so that If any of
the guards happened to be around they
would know they v. ere workmen and
not Are on them.
He Left Crossman There.
After traveling some distance down
the bank the foreman left Crossman at
a point where there seemed to be some
Indications that the slush might break
through the retaining wall around the
bank, and Connolly continued his
rounds.
He had passed almost to the other
side of the dump when he heard a shot
fired. It did not seem close and ho paid
no attention to it. Then came another
shot and he felt a charge of buck shot
enter his legs and hands. The shot
wns fired by a man on the bank about
thirty or forty yards away.
Under the impression that It was one
of the guards who was firing he cried
out: "Don't shoot again, this Is Con
nolly!" Immediately another shot was
fired at him, one of the pellets lodging
In his right eye.
Connolly ran for the head of the bank
and went down the side to get out of
range of the shooter, and Crossman,
who had heard the shots fired, crossed
the bank and also went down the side.
As he got to tho bottom, the man who
shot Connolly appealed on top of the
bank, took aim and fired at Crossman,
the bullet splintering the bone of the
left log from the unkle almost to the
knee.
Started for Mayfleld.
Connolly, supposing from tho shots
fired at Crossman that he was sur
rounded, started down the railroad
tracks for Mayfleld as fast as his
wounds would permit him to travel.
Yesterday ho was taken to the Scran
ton Private hospital.
After Crossman was shot he tried to
drag himself up the railroad toward
the washery, some 200 yards. It was a
labor of r torture and several times ha
sank exhausted from loss of blood and
pain. Presently he heard noises and
the sound of men's voices. Thinking
the man who shot him and others were
searching for him to end his life, he
crawled under a car standing on the
track and remained there until the
men's voices were lost in the distance.
Then he resumed his painful journey
to the washery.
The men ho hid from were the guards
at the washery, who on healing tho
shots, made a round-up of tho prop
erty. They did not succeed In finding
tho shooter or tbe men who were hurt,
as Connolly was making his way to
ward Mayfleld, and Crossman had
stowed himself away under the car.
When the latter dragged himself up
to the office nt the colliery he was ten
derly cnrrled inside, and a physician
sent for who directed that he be taken
to the Emergency hospital at Carbon
dale, where It was found necessary to
amputate the shattered leg.
Connolly's Condition.
Connolly rested easily at the Scranton
Private hospital In spite of the fact
that some thirty shot are lodged In his
body. He did not uppear to suffer
much pain lust night, and tho physi
cians entertain hopes of yet saving the
sight of his right eye.
Other bullets took effect in both lees.
both feet and the right and left arms
and hands, When asked whether ho
hud any suspicions as to the Identity
of the perpetrators of the outruge,
Connolly said:
"Well, 'to be frank, I really haven't.
When a man's being fired nt he Is hard
ly cool enough to make a critical ex
amination of the fellow that's doing
the shooting. This wus the first night
turn for Crossman und myself, as
we've been working on the day shift
tho last three weeks. We were out on
the dump totally unarmed, when we
were fired ut, as we'd left our levolvers
In tho office. There was only ono man
doing any shooting, as 'far as I could
see, and ho fired five shots In all. The
llrst shot didn't hit anything, und I
called out to hlin, not to shoot, thut
I was Connolly, Ho didn't answer, but
another shot came, which hit me in the
leg and hand, und struck tho mine
lamp, I wus currying from my hand.
"I started down the tracks ufter him,
und then cuino another report, and I
was struck in the eye und right leg.
I staggered utound awhile, and then
saw him coming up the truck, uhd
Crossman coming down. He fired and
struck him."
It Is almost impossible to remove all
the blrdshot, but one ball which was
particularity aggravating was taken
from tho knuckle of Connolly's right
fore finger.
Crossman Will Eecover.
Crossman rallied after the amputa
tion of his legt and at the Emergency
hospital last night his condition was
not considered dangerous.
It was reported at Edgerton last
night that an arrest will be made to
day. DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Coroners' Inquest in the Case of
Erank Dictis, Killed in the
Emanuel Stone Quarry.
Coroner J. F. Saltry conducted an
inquest In the court house last night In
the case ot Frank Dictis, who was
killed last Friday by an explosion In the
quarry of tho Emanuel Stone company
of South Scranton.
The evidence showed that about ten
days before, five holes were drilled and
charged In thut part of the quarry
where Friday's explosion occurred. The
charges were fired and after the explo
sion the holes were examined by Tlll
mun Masher, the foreman, nnd Michael
Arcuri, the ehargeman. Both swore
last night that they believed then,
from their examination, that all of the
charges had been exploded.
Friday Dictis was sitting down hold
ing a wedge, .used in splitting stone
and Santo Jona was using a sledge
on it, when a charge, which had evi
dently survived the explosion of ten
days before, was dlschared, killing
Dictis and injuring six other workmen.
Tho witnesses examined last night
were Thomas Hall, Tillman Mosher,
Michael Arcuri, James Davis, Peter
Hamui, and Patrick 'Klrkwood.
The jury which was made up of
Joseph Murphy, John Casey, John H.
Burke, Anthony Lungan, A. J. Howley
and Michael O'Horo, returned a verdict
to the effect that death was due to the
accidental discharge of dynamite an&
black powder.
Peter Manley, who wus injured by
the explosion, is still In a precarious
condition at the hospital, with slight
chances for recovery,
ENTERPRISE THAT
IS THE REAL THING
Newspapers Faked Labor Day Pro
gramme and Printed It as Offi
cial, Marshal Frayne Says.
The committee of the Central Labor
union, In charge of the arrangements
for the Labor Day demonstration, met
last night at their headquarters and
decided to Invite to participation In the
day's celebration all locals of the
United Mine Workers of America not
ufllllated with the Central Labor union.
The locals which aro affiliated have, of
course, been already Invited.
Grand Marshal Hugh Frayno was
consldetubly wroth over tho fact that
the Times and Republican printed
what purported to bo the formation of
the Labor Day parade, Said ho last
night:
"The formation printed was unoffi
cial and wholly incorrect. Wo hnve not
yet decided on the exa9t formation, and
do not expect to hnve tho programme
made up before tho next meeting,
Monday night,"
A letter of acceptance was received
from the executive board of District
No. 1, United Mine Workers of Amer
ica, who were Invited to tho excur
sion. Challenges have been issued by
the structural iron workers, who wish
to contend In a tug of war, with any
local of tho building trades council, at
the excursion, for a stake to be agreed
upon later, and by tho painters, who
challenge any of the trudes locals to
a game of base ball,
TERRIBLE GASH IN FACE.
August Weimeler Injured by Palling
on Picket of an Iron Pence
at His Home,
August Weimeler, of Maple street,
met with an accident yesterday morn
ing of such 11 serious nature that it will
disfigure him for life.
Ho was leaving home, shortly before
7 o'clock, for work, und In passing
through tho gate slipped und fell heav
ily ugalust the iron fence, Tho point
of n picket pierced his face under tho
chin on the right side, tearing a lutgo
jagged gash from the chin to tho tem
ple, Weimeler sank 'unconscious to the
ground with tho blood streaming from
the great gush In his face. He wus
removed to the house, where Dr. A. J.
Kolb uttended him.
Ten stitches wero necessary to close
the wound.
THE CENTER
OF INTEREST
WARNKE WASHERY TO RESUME
OPERATIONS TODAY.
A Former Captain of the National
Guard, Who Has Taken Charge of
the Coal and Iron Police, Has As
sured Mr. Warnkc That His Men
Will Not Be Driven Away from
Place No Truth In the Rumor
About Oxford Colliery Shutting
Down.
The Warnke washery, at Duryca, will
bo operated today. Work will begin
promptly at 7 o'clock, and dcneral
Manager Fred Warnke believes that
this tlmo the efforts ot his employes
will not bo lnterefered with.
Ysterday a large force of workmen
and deputies were taken to tho wash
cry, and a thorough test was made of
tho machinery, which wns damaged
last Thursday. Repairs were made,
where it was possible, and new machin
ery Installed to take the place of en
gines totally ruined.
Between forty and fifty men have
been engaged by Mr. Warlike to work
the washery, and a squad of over
twenty-five coal and Iron police will
endeavor to protect the workmen from
molestation, Mr. Warnke declared last
night that he does not expect any
trouble. The police nre under tho com
mand of a former captain of the Na
tional Guard, who has guaranteed Mr.
Warnke that his men will not be pre
vented from working.
NO TRUTH IN RUMOR.
A false rumor was yesterday circu
lated to the effect that operations had
been stopped at the Oxford colliery of
the Peoples' Coal company. Tho head
quarters of the United Mine Workers
of America were called up by phone
and notified that no work was being
done at the colliery, but the report
was declared utterly groundless by
President J. L. Crawford, of the com
pany. "Everything at the colliery is going
along in first-class style," he remarked
last night to a Tribune man. "We
could hardly ask for, a better state of
affairs at present. A very few of the
men didn't work today, but they were
only kept away from the colliery by
illness. Our entire working force now
consists of over two hundred men."
Little occurred at the Mine Workers'
headquarters yesterday. President T.
D. Nicholls and Secretary-Treasurer
John T. Dempsey left the city early in
the afternon for Mooslc, where they
and Board Member Anthony Schlosser
addressed a mass meeting. Another
mass meeting was held at Miners'
Mills. Tomorrow the locals of Throop
will hold a big mass meeting In the
Throop grove. It will be preceded by
a short parade. Vice President Adam
Ryscavage, Secretary-Treasurer Demp
sey and National Board Member Fal
lon, of Wllkes-Barre, will be among
the speakers.
DOLING OUT RELIEF.
Numerous applications for relief con
tinue to be made at tho district head
quarters and both Secretary Dempsey
and Miss Dempsey are busied through
out the day, .filling out checks for
needy miners and their families.
There were no new developments
yesterday at any of the big companies'
collieries.
"The Dodge and Cayuga collieries
are working regularly and maintaining
a good output," remarked Assistant
Superintendent Tobey, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company's coal department, and
added, "We have four washerles going
now, and all our places are in shape to
resume work tomorrow, If the men
were to report for duty."
Superlntenednt C. C. Rose, of the
coal department of the Delaware and
Hudson Railroad company, declared
that all was quiet at the collieries In
the city nnd up the valley, und that at
present his company was simply rest
ing. Today the Interest of all, opera
tors and mine workers alike, will bo
centered on Duryen. The restarting of
the Warnke washery marks a crisis
In the situation. In case of further
trouble, Sheriff Jacobs, of Luzerne
county, is practically certain to ask for
state troops, and such nn action would
be productive of many important de
velopments hi the general state of uf
fuirs. President John Mitchell was In Chi
cago last night and will be buck in
Wilkes-Barro Thursday.
STRIKERS ARRESTED.
George White, outside foreman at
tho Pancoast colliery, ut Throop, yes
terday caused tho arrest of Joseph
Jeresta, Casper Longa and Joseph
Muetto, three strikers, charging them
with assault and battery, pointing
firearms and inciting a riot on Satur
day, Aug. 2.
The arrests grew out of the trouble
at tho Pancoast colliery on the above
date, when the defendants waylaid
White and threatened to cut his throat
with a razor. Later they llred beveral
shots at him.
Constable Ira Mitchell, of Alderman
Kasson's court, experienced much
trouble in arresting the men, Jeresta
and Longa were committed In default
of $500 ball euch, and Muetto was re
leased on ball.
Twenty-five suits for libel wore In
stituted yesterday in Wilkes-Uarro
against Charles Thalue and John R,
Mullery, editor and mnnager respect
ively of the Couiier-Heruld, the ofticlul
organ of the Wllkes-Barre Central La
bor union.
The warrants were Issued by Alder
man J. P. Pollock, of Wllkes-Barre,
at the Instance of u large number of
workmen employed by the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western compuny at
tho Woodward mine.
It Is alleged the accused wrote,
printed and published a libellous and
defamatory statement about the prose
cutors In reference to the Mulluhey
case, which was heurd In Wllkes-Barre
several weeks ugo. They were hejd In
