DRILL CONTESTS.
Allentown Winn the First Prize and
Nc run ton the Second.
Owing to the unceasing rain, which
began early yesterday morning and con
tinued without interruption until late
last evening, those in charge of the
parade arranged in honor of the con
vention of the select castle were com
pelled to declare off this portion of the
program. Largo delegations from the
nearby cities and towns were in town
prepared to participate, but the weath
er made it impossible to carry out the
order of the day. Three bands, the
Citizens', of town; the Liberty, of Hazle
ton, and the Pioneer, of Allentown, were
here to furnish music for the marchers.
The weather was also the cause of
changing the scene of the drill contest
of the Military Rank from the Tigers
park to Krell's hall. The latter place
was unable to accommodate more than
one-tenth of thoso who wished to view
the military maneuvers and the com
panies were severely handicapped by
the crowd.
The judges of the contest were Cap
tain J. C. Ivenney, VVilkesbarro, Com
pany B, Ninth regiment, N. G. P.; Cap
tain Androw Lee, llazleton, formerly
Captain Company G, Ninth regiment,
N. G. P., and Lieutenant Isaac D.
Ravert, Lattimer, Company G, Ninth
regiment, N. G. P.
The companies entered were from
Scranton, Allentown, Lancaster and
VVilkesbarro. The last-named wa9 de
barred from the contest because it was
short one private, the rules providing
that each competing company shall have
at least sixteen privates, two sergeants,
two lieutenants aud a captain. Lancas
ter was not permitted to drill Jor the
same reason.
Scranton Military Company, Captain
William Hauer commanding, was the
first to appear in the contest. The
members went through the intricate
evolutions of the drill in a manner
which won them considerable applause.
Allentown Military Company, Captaiu
Frank Rhodes commanding, next took
the floor and that the company had an
abundance of friends among the spec
tators was attested by the generous
cheers given the excellent showing
made.
Freoland Military Company, Captain
Guy Sonsonbach commanding, gave a
fine exhibition drill. The local boys
did not enter the contest, but had they
done so it was the gonoral opinion that
the first prize would have remained at
home. Tumultous applause was ten
dered the company when the exhibition
drill ended.
VVilkesbarro Military Company, Cap
tain John Alprint commanding, than
formod with its full number in lino, but
by this time the judges had departed to
compare notes, and to the disappoint
ment of the company and the public in
general the county seat delegation
wore not permitted to prove their
claims to bo the bost-drilled company
here.
The decision of the judges was not
made public until this morning, when
the announcement was made that Allen
town Company had been awarded the
first prize of SIOO and Scranton Company
the second prize of $75. Wilkosbarro,
according to the rules, was given third
prize, s2s.and Lancaster was allowed $lO
A meeting of the Members of the
Military Rank was hold at 8 p. m. in the
lodge room of Krell's hall, where Import
ant busiuess pertaining to this portion
of the order was transacted.
LAST NIGHT'S BALL.
The ball given last evening under the
auspices of Loyal Castle, No. 05, was
largely attended and pleasure reigned
supreme until an early hour this morn
ing. The hall was crowded with the
local and visiting knights and their lady
friends and with the inspiring strains of
DePlerro'a complete orchestra made the
scene a pretty one.
The grand march was led by William
Anderson and Miss Edith Phillips, who
wcro followed by more than a hundred
couples. Dancing was enjoyed by the
greater number of those present, while
the Citizens', Liberty and Pioneer bands
provided music for the promouaders.
The ball, socially aud otherwise, was
a decided success.
The jury In the Shenandoah riot case,
after being out for thirty hours, report
ed to Judge Becbtel last evening that
they were unable to agree on a verdict.
They were discharged by the court.
The defendant, Anthony Iladiewicz,
was charged with leading tho rioting
which resulted in the calling for state
troops.
The bond of Andrew Hudock, treas
urer of the Slavok Roman and Greek
Catholic Union of Pennsylvania, was
filed in court yesterday in $12,000 with
Joseph Johnson, P. M. Sweeney, and
Condy O. Boyle, all of Freoland, as sure
tics.
SETTLEMENT
RUMORS GROW
Important Conference Held
on the Coal Strike.
Governor Stone and Other
Officials of the State on
a Mysterious Mission to
New York City.
From Today's Philadelphia Record.
New York, Sept. 9. —Governor William
A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, came to Now
York today to bring about a settlement
of the coal strike, and ho did everything
within his power to accomplish that re
sult. The result may not b$ known for
several days. While many of the opera
tors said privately that Governor Stone's
mission would not prove sucessful, as
there was nothing to arbitrate, yet,
something is on foot to settle tho strike.
Governor Stone was accompaniod to
the city by Attorney General Elkln, of
Pennsylvania, and ex-Sonater Fllun, of
Pittsburg. Tho throo had a conference
of several hours' duration with P. A. B.
VVidener, of Philadelphia, in tho offices
of the Uuited States Steel Corporation.
After the conference had lasted an
hour, Mr. VVidener went to see J. Pier
pout Morgan at tho latter's office and
asked him to use his influence to end
tho strlko. Ten minutes later ho re
turned to his fellow conferees and re
mained In long and earnest conversation
with them.
Governor Stone was asked what
progress toward a settlement had been
made during tho conference and whether
any direct communication had been had
from Mr. Morgan. To these question ho
answorod that ho had nothing to say
beyond what was contained In his state
ment, and that tho other parties to the
conference had also been to
silence.
lie took from his pocket a sheet of
paper which contained tho following:
"Attorney General'Elkin, Senator Flinn
and myself have been a consultation for
some hours today with P. A. B. Wldencr
of Philadelphia, who is a director In the
United States Steel Corporation, and
who is associated with Mr. Morgan in
many busines interests. Mr. VVidener
is very anxious to see the strike settled."
The statement made by Governor
Stone was shown to Mr. Morgan, who
through George W. Perkins, his partner,
said: "We have not heard from Gover
nor Stone since his statement was
issued, and wo have nothing to say re
garding Governor Stone's statement ou
the coal situation."
Mr. Perkins also said that there was
no change in the general situation. 110
admitted, however, that Mr. VVidener
and Mr. Morgan had held a conference.
President Baer came to New York to
day and held a private conference with
Presidents Truosdaio and Fowler. Tho
latter said that no business meeting was
hold. Mr. Fowler also said that Gover
nor Stone had not seen any of tho presi
dents of the coal roads and that ho has
no intention of seeing them.
Mr. Fowler was shown the governor's
statement, but ho declined to discuss It.
President Truosdaio also doclined to
discuss Governor Stone's statement.
Will of James Wilson.
In Monday's issue of tho Tribune tho
contents of tho will of the late James
Wilson were incorrectly stated Tho
will has not yet been probated, but was
read to tho family by Rev. F. Marshall
after the funeral. It provides that the
amount of his insurance money shall lie
used to defray his funeral expenses, aud
if there was any overplus it was to go
to his son, John. The household furni
ture was loft to his sou, Henry, and the
vacant lot (the only real estate he
owned at tho time of his death) was to
bo sold and divided among his four
children, Henry, John, Mrs. John Smith
and Mrs. Thomas llowey, share and
share alike. The amount received from
the insurance company was $57.92,
which was paid August 30 to Henry
Wilson, who was named as executor.
