REPLY TO "AN ODE"

Who would test his boast and never again,
Because Of one defeat repeat his strain,
Is mthoroughbred and no true blue,
A diminutive | and big YOU;
Never say die! Is our exclamation,
AS long as we doubt the situation
Again we are at you and ask no boot,
So to 1t again, we will try the shoot.
Your advice is quite cheap, on deafness spent
For a thrust is short when the sword is bent.
To warn is an action so very kind
That words Of gratitude arc hard to find,
but our Scranton pride is as true as steel,
You cannot break It with a single deal.

The Jury in the Case OF the Ex-District
Attorney Returns "a Verdict in
Forty-Fiye Minutes.

The trial of James D. Page, the ex-Dis-
trict Attorney charged with embezzling
$4,000 from the estate of Louis Lichneker,
his insane ward, was given to the jury last
evening who in forty-fve minutes returned
verdict of guilty.
The case opened and closed during the
morning. Ex-Judge Levy was called to
testify to having appointed Page guardian
of Liehneker's estate, and Judge Slack told
how he discharged him for not obeylpg
citations to show where the missing money
was. Detective Anthony told how he
brought the fleeing attorney from New
York, and then the citations of the courts
were reao to the jury. This closed the
prosecution.
Counsel for the defense moved for dis
missal. This was not granted, and the de-
fense closed without testimony. The case
was argued during the afternoon, the con-
tention of the defense being that no one
authorized to do so demanded the $4,000
consequently it was not embezzlement

CARPENTERS ON A STRIKE
Eight Union Men Leave the
First and Market Streets
Job.
They Positively Refuse to Work With
P. N. Kuss' Non. Union
Painters.

The carpenters at work on the big build
ing on Market and First streets went out
on strike yesterday morning rather than
work on a job with non-union men. The
Objectionable workmen were q lot of
P. n. Kuss' painters The union men are
determined to maintain and uphold the
working-card adopted by the affiliated
unions, and they were prepared to strike
as soon as Kuss' painters went to work
rather than violate their obligations.
William Grant, the contractor, has been
particularly unfortunate with this piece
of work. He made the contract some time
before April 1, when the card system went
into effect. He sublet the lathing contract
to a man who used non-union lathers, and
the council declared it to be an unfair job
This was without any prejudice against
Grant, who is recognized as one of the
best friends the union possesses. In time
the fathers got away and the job was
uniOniZed at once by the contractor.
1t was understood that there would be
trouble again because Grant had let the
painting contract TO Kuss long before the
1st of April and before the painters
strike, when Kuss came out openly ana
declared that he would conduct non
union shop. When the painters went to
work Yesterday morning Grant was pow
erless to prevent trouble, because he had
already let the contract, from which kuss
would not release him.
When the union contractors objected to
| the presence OF the non-union gang he ex-
| planned the situation 30 them and said he
was sorry to see them go, and that If he
had been able 10 prevent the trouble he
! would have done so. The best of feeling
| exists between the union men and Con-
tractor Grant. There still remains con-
| siderable work to be done by carpenters on
the building, and eight men could find
employment therein for at least three
weeks. An upper story and large hall
way remain to be finished.
! 1t is probable that Contractor Grant will
be obliged to put on a new lot of nom
union men to finish the work on time,
much as he regrets to do so.
| The carpenters are making active prepa-
rations for their picnic, which will be held
| at Sunset Park on the 26tn inst. Among
the features will be a tug-of.war contest
for prize. The heavy weights of union
483 have been selected, with r. W. Smith,
the heaviest man in the union, as anchor
man. This team will compete with a
team picked from unions %, 304 and the
amalgamated union. The former team
will meet at lis Turk street this evening
and make arrangements to go into train
ing.
The painters picnic will be held at the
same park on May II. A large attendance
is expected, as there will be number of
striking novelties introduced.
