EVERY DETAIL OF THE BUSINESS
MEETING.
BROUGHT TO a CLOSE WITH SAT
1sEACTIoN TO ALL FaEs-
ENT.
THE BANQUET LAST NIGHT A sU-
PERB AFFAIR. HEARTILY EN-
JoYEp BY. THE VISITORS AND
CITIZENS PREsENT-wHAT WAS
SAID AND DONE.

The bone and sinew Of the assocla-
tion Of Texas lumSermen convened in
the city hall yesterday morning for
the dual purpose Of completing their
delegated duties and to express their
satisfaction at the work Of their high
est tribunals.
when PresldSlt Gribble called the
house to order there seemed to be
determination In his act, and a certain
satisfied expression ON his physios-
nomy.
Secretary Drake was self possessed
and picking up big batch of letters,
and official papers, began the routine
work for the day. The reading of the
teegraphic invitation from the mayor
of Austin, extending the hospitallties
OF that city to the lumuermen, caused
the ardent Houstonians TO realize that
they would have fight for what they
claim as an heritage.
When the secretary announced that
he had a report from the committee
ON complaints, every man held his
peace and breathlessly awaited ITS
reading But there was nothing Of
vast moment The committee made
some wise and needed recommended
lions and as soon as they were read
it was voted on and adopted.
Following in the wake of this moot
ed black nag ship came a committee re-
port, that one handling the middle
men. which the pessimists have been
tTiNFtufH a 1nuh To InlinNp would
cause dissolution. It. too, was wisely
worded and covered the case II passed
by adoption.
The press gang, Micawhcr-like, still
patiently waited for something TO turn
up. Secretary Drake seemed nervous,
and not until after he had called Ceoil
LYON to the shair and had unrnNellcd
his pompadour lid they realize that
he was preparing 10 mount an oratori-
cal Pcgnssus But hd did, ana his flight

tanning the body a year hence.
sam T. Swinford. n disciple OF De-
mosthenes, took the floor when the
previous speaker vacated, and assert
ed without fear OF contradiction that
he. Swlnrord, Wv not mn orator, The
audience took the assertion cum
grano. He then said that Austin
should not have tho convention by u
dam site. and the audience succumbed
TO the Inevitable.
The men who came here TO straight
on out the associations business are
wen pleased with the result of the
session. while on the other hand, some
of those who came here pleasure bent
are complaining because they We're
not received with open arms. The
business mon nre in the majority.
The reelection OF President Gribhle
and Secretary Drake Is nothing more
than bestwonlg honors on the laborer
in payment Of his hire These gentle
men have worked faithfully and well
for the lumber men. and so long as
they manifest the spirit exhibited IN
the mast, Just so long should they be
returned in their respective positions.

PLAYERS ARE SECURED.
Negotiations Arc Closed with the Syracuse
Players Who Will Battle for Scranton
in the Cup Series

Manager Barnie was in Syracuse
yesterday closing the negotiations with
the Syracuse players who VIII wear
Scranton uniforms In the series against
Wilkes-Barre next week for The Trtb-
une Trophy cup. Last night he tele-
graphed that he had positively secured
Power, Egan, Minnahan and Moss, the
Syracuse iniield, and Barnett, the crack
Syracuse twirler.
1t had been the intention to pitch
johnson, Meaney and Barnett In the
series, but Johnson last night received
a message that his mother was dying
in San Francisco and he will leave for
the west this afternoon. He was last
night notified by President Belts that
he Is reserved for next season. This
unforeseen circumstance will make 1t
necessary to engage another pitcher.
Manager Barnie was Informed by tele-
graph of the situation and 1t is not un-
likely that he will get Harper Of the
Rochesters.
Word was received from Wilkes
Barre last night that Manager Shannon
was on skirmish for q strong pair of
pitchers VINO, with Keenan,, will repre-
sent Wilkes-Barre In the box, as Coax
ley Is obliged to go to Pttsburg on busi-
ness.
Through well-known Scranton lew
eler the trophy cup has been ordered
from New York and during next week
Will be placed on exhibition. 1t will be
of especial design and will possess con-
siderable intrinsic value.

II saw ,Corbett about week ago.
and | did not like his looks. He did
not seem to have the life and energy
which he formerly possessed, and his
eyes We're dull and listless. l attrib-
uted this to the fact that he had been
knocking about the country a great
deal playing ball. attending theatrical
performances, keeping late hours and
other dissipations. Corbett is a Won
derful man. though, and Il great fight
er. II he trains all right and enters
the ring in tit condition there Is no
doubt but he viii whip Fitzsimmons.
Bob. however. IL in great condition
right at this time, and will put up an
awful fight. II Jim Is not right up to
the mark he may suffer defeat.
II don't attach much Importance to
what hear of the condition of the two
men. for l don't believe they will meet,
at least not In Texas. When a gov
ernor of state announces that he
will stop prize fight. he usually
means what he says. and In this in
stance l think Governor Culberson Is
in earnest"

FOUGHT A GAME FIGHT.
Scranton's Last League Game at Home

There is some consolation In that the
Scranton club yesterday closed the
Eastern league season on the home
grounds by a game that redounded to
its credit rather than otherwise

but 1t was by only one run in the last
inning and the less than 100 loyal
