'l ' OP COAL WORKERS
A. R. Jones,' Formerly of This City,
"Writes a Ringing Letter to the
Trenton True American, In Which
Ha Pays High Tribute to His For
mer Townspeople, Particularly Re
ferring to City Treasurer P. F. Con
' nor The Letter Will Be Bead with
Interest by Carbondallans.
' A letter Hint will be read with been
.ntcrest by Carbondallans appears In a
t recent Issue of the Trenton (N. J.) True
"American, It Is from A, R. Jones, for-
"itherly of this city, now advertising
manager on the True American.
The letter is characteristic of Mr.
Jones. It Is a defense In vigorous, ring
ing words of the Inhabitants or tne an
thracite region against the cry of
' Ignorance and lawlessness that Is so
often raised abroad. It Is a loyal do
, fense of the sturdy people among whom
Mr. Jones was born and raised, and
. Carbondallans, who will read the letter
Jwlth Keen Interest, will respond with
'.deserved' words of appreciation and
', credit. Mr. Jones, though somewhat rc-
moved from the coal regions, still feels
'. the ties that binds him to those he left
behind, and, above all, he has shown
' himself to bo a true Carbondallan. In
the tributes, that in his warm-hearted
f devotion he pays to the citizens of the
- home of his birth, he makes particular
montlon of City Treasurer P. P. Con
nor. Mr. Jones' communication reads:
"That the anthracite coal strike is
one of vital interest to the entire world
'is evinced by the many conjectures as
to when and how the great problem will
be solved. During the few months I
have lived In Trenton, I havo heard
many expressions as to the conditions
of the striking miners.
"In the majority of cases to those un
acquainted the miners are classed as an
Ignorant pet of mortals to be 1 cared be
cause of an alleged Inclination to acts
of lawlessness. Having spent my en
tire life in the coal region I have there
fore some knowledge of the customs
anil manner of the miner's life.
"The average miners are intelligent
. and In most cases of Welsh or Irish
nationality, own their own homes and
have families that are well educated.
During the past few years some of the
most Important officers In the munici
palities of Scranton and Carbondale
have and are at present filled by men
who are the sons of the miner, and I
cannot cite a single exception where
the incumbent has not shown his abil
ity to perform his duties in a most sat
isfactorv manner. ,
"The present treasurer of the city of
Carbondale is a self-made young man
who began his career in the coal
breaker and by his own effort gained
an education that enables him to ful
fil his trust In a highly creditable way.
His executive ability is unquestioned
and the confidence of citizens in him Is
attested from the fact that he has suc
ceeded himself to the office.
"Both select and common council are
made up of men who are property own
ers, and many of them are miners who,
up to the commencement of the present
strike, earned their livelihood by toll
ing hundreds of feet underground.
They are men of brains, highly respect-,
eil in the community, and manipulate
city affairs In a way that makes Car
bondale, a city of over 18,000 population,
one of the best governed In 'Pennsyl
vania. -"The present representative and his
predecessor of the Fourth Legislative
district are men who In boyhood tolled
In the coal breaker, and during their
respective campaigns distributed pla
cards throughout the entire country
upon which appeared the cut of a
breaker, accompanied by the words:
'From the breaker to the state house.'
"The miner, generally speaking, Is a
law-abiding. Industrious, sober man,
and when not engaged in the perilous
work of digging 'dusky diamonds' he
can be found employing his spare mo
ments adding improvements to his
home or otherwise employed In order
that he and his family may be com
fortable." Farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Boyle.

'Boyle, who have removed from Simp

LABOR DAY TODAY.
No Parade, but Numerous Diversions
to Attract Pleasure Seekers. v
Today sacred to the cause of labor
will bo observed by a suspqnslon of
work at what Industries that have not
been affected by the strike.
There will be no parade In this city,
as customary, heretofore, but there will
bo numerous diversions to satisfy the
jeasurc-seekcr. Two games of ball
will be played on Duffy's Held; one In
the morning, commencing nt 10 o'clock,
between the Crescents and the Alumni
team, of West Scranton; the other In
the nfternoon, beginning at 3 o'clock,
between the same teams. The excur
sion to Lake Lodoro will attract many.
A big feature will bo the game between
the Archbald and Honcsdalc teams.
The Eric will run an excursion to
Blnghumton in the morning.
The theatrical season will open today.
The newly decornted Grand will be re
opened with Howard Kyle In "Nathnn

ences, Tonight the "Brokers," a coterie of
well-known young men, will conduct a
fashionable dance in the Burke build

MR. POX WASN'T
F0XEY GRANDPA
Therefore, Our "Pets" Slammed and
Banged Him All Over Duffy's Field
for Nineteen Hits and Thereby
Won from the Best Team in Scran
ton, the Semi-Professionals A
Great Game Kelleher Pitches
Well The Story of the Day.
And they are still "Our Pets!"
When our "Pets" with our Owney in
right garden can win from the best
team that Scranton ten miles below
the Archbald pot-hole can boast of, It
seems that that consarned hoodoo has
been lifted and that we are some shucks
again, though a few bumps were our
sad lot the past three weeks.
But we can cheer up, you can bet
your life. Any team that can bump
Pitcher Jakey Fox, of Scranton, for
nineteen hits, is some pumpkins, ac
cording to Lafe Smith. And that's what
the "Pets" still "Our Pets" did; and
no lobsterlng about it, either.
This Is a game worth being proud
about and worth doing so much talk
ing about, and the Archbald Cltlzpn
and the papers of Rustytown, over tho
Mooslcs, will please not take offense If
we say a word or two about this game;
this great game; a game, If played neur
the White Oak or in the canal basin,
would be observed by a general holi
day the next day.
This was the best game, most of the
cranks thought, that has been played
here this season; and they were nearly
right at that. Not since the day the
Crescents put the "Insurgents" out dt
business was there such a batting pic
nic. Nineteen hits! And all from
Pitcher Jakey Fox, "who goes to Phila
delphia In the morning" to play with
the National league club. It was a
batting farewell that Jakey won't for
get; and If he misses his train this a.
m., 'twon't be surprising. Fox was
hardly a Foxey grandpa against our
hard-hitting laddy bucks. There were
four three-baggers, Murray, McAndrew
and McTleman, two; three two-bag
gers, Murray, Flannery and McAndrew.
Every man took a chunk out of Jakey's
record. Loftus had three singles, Mur
ray and Hosier each two. Flannery had
three singles besides his two-bagger.
Fox had no strikeouts.
Kelleher pitched for tho Crescents, the
first whole game he has pitched since
he became a "Pet." He pitched well,
too, und earned his game. He kept the
Scranton sluggers that's what they are
down to eleven hits. A few of them
were long-winded, but they didn't come
when men were on bases. He had four
strlkp-outs.
It was a great game for sharp field
ing. The Crescents alone made thice
quick double plays. Hosier made the
greatest catch ever witnessed on this
field. He pulled down a fly from Fox's
bat, that seemed impossible to capture,
after a run over a rorky field. The
earned runs of the Scranton team were
only half of the total number scoted,
and If there had been some sharper
fielding the score would have been way
down. Some or the errors, however.
McTleman and Murray's particularly,
were made on cannon ball drives, and
were nlmost excusable. On the other
hand, we should have had at least four
more runs, had the right spirit been put
Into tho base running and the coaching.
Tho Crescents were admittedly woe
fully weak In this direction, nnd such
glaring deficiencies were manifested ns
to call for somo sharp criticism to pre
vent a repetition, particularly In to
day's games. Candor compels tho state
ment that the team has been woefully,
nlmost shamefully, weak along these
Hues all season, and just so soon as the
reform Is carried out In these direc
tions wilh we be assured of clinching
more gnmeV- Many a run has been lost
mus wise.
It was expected that the Sunsets
would be tho opposing team, and It was
somewhat of a surprise to see Fox,
Mudenspacher, Ferris, Jones, McDon
ald, Franz, et al of Scranton semi
professional team, trot out onto tho
neiu. uut tho "Pets" are made of ster
ner stuff thun to be dismayed by even
big Jakey Fox and his great pitching
record, They went after Jakey's twist
ers and kept after them until they had
tho goods, anil mude the "knockers"
feel worse than If they were sea sick,
The Scranton team was shay two play-
ers, but they were accommodated by
our Archbald neighbors, Fleming, who
went to third, und FJtzpatrlck, who
donned the catcher's mask, Flta caught
a good game, and deserves a good deal
of credit.

Notes of the Game.
Joe Hosier's cntch of Rclnhart In left
center, with three men on bases nnd two
out was tho greatest feat ever seen on a
local dlnmond. And, m)nd you, we nro
not forgetting the plnyS of Curt Welsh
or Murtv McQtintlc.
Eddie McTlernnn Is a vuluablo acquisi
tion to the team. Some of tho balls ho
knocked down were like express trains.
His butting wai It.
Flanncry's hitting Is very timely. Billy
can tun bases a la Hogan.
Gcorglo Cuff Is too conscientious. Ho Is
afraid of making mistakes. Cut In,
George. You can hit and run with tho
fastest of them.
Jimmy Murray had a few hot ones at
short, but he will make good. Watch nnd
stel
Wasn't It funy? Neither of the Arch
bald men made a hit.
Owney McAndrew's threo-baggor. two
bapger nnd single set the fans wild with
jo. lie hnd a terrible batting streak.
His work In right Held was fine, partici
pating in a quick double play.
Lost at I,odore.
The Crescents lost to the South
Scranton team at Lodore on Saturday,
by the score of E-3. Owney McAndrew
had a bad Inning In the fifth, and a
lead was gotten which could not be
overcome.
Jack Fee in Honesdale.
The Scranton Sunsets played a game
with the Honesdale Tigers In the lat
ter place on Saturday, and lost a close
game by a score of 3 to 1. John Fee,
of the Crescents, pitched for Scranton,
nnd played a clever game. The Sun
sets lost the game In the sixth inning
by making a bunch of errors. Fee
struck Miller out with three men on
bases.
Today's Games.
The Scranton Alumni team will be
the opponents of our favorites on Duf
fy's field this morning and afternoon.
The batteries for the Crescents will be:
Fee and Loftus, in the morning, and
McAndrew and Flannery, In the other
game. The Alumni team Is a fast ag
gregation and won from the Crescents
on Decoration day, by a score of 2 to 1.
ELECT ONE JANITOR;
THEN A DEADLOCK
School Board Repeats an Old Custom.
Two Teachers' Salaries Are Slight
ly Increased.
The day will bo colder than yester
day when the school board falls to sus
tain its traditions In the matter of
deadlock.
This time 'tis a janitor that ties the
directors; but It Is hardly likely to
disturb the board's routine or ruffle the
serenity of the directors.
At Saturday night's meeting of the
board, Mr. Vanaan proposed the name
of Patrick Flnnegan as Janitor of No. 3
school. Secretary Gallagher followed
with the name of Bryan O'Byrne.
There Is n vacancy in this position,
caused by the resignation of Henry
Kennedy.
When the vote took place the board
was divided. Gallagher, Copeland and
Hughes voted for O'Byrne; Vanaan,
Kvans and Kerwln for Flnnegan. There
seemed to be hope of a compromise, bo
Mr. Evans ndroltly moved that the
matter be left with President Kerwln,
for him to fill the vacancy ns he saw
fit until the deadlock be broken.
Mr. Gallagher was on his feet In a
moment with a strong protest. He In
sisted that this was against the rules,
the matter belonging to the Janitors'
committee. The motion prevailed, and
President Kerwln will have the ap
pointing of the substitute Janitor. As
Mr, Kerwln Is a supporter of Flnnegan,
It's likely that Flnnegan will be the
Janitor while the deadlock Is on, which
from appearances will be prolonged.
Two names were proposed for the
janltorshlp of No. 9 school, In the an
nex; David Lewis, the old Janitor, by
Mr. Gallagher, and John Jennings, by
Mr. Kvans. Mr. Lewis, the former
Janitor, was elected.
Two recommendations for Increase of
salary were adopted without debate, as
follows: Miss Emma Barrett, Brook
lyn school, J3 per month, making her
salary $38 per month; Miss Louise
Davis, No. 9 school, $2.50, raising her
salary to $42.50 per month.
OBITUARY.
JESSE HARRISON BAGLEY entered
into rest during tho early hours of Sat
