CARS LEFT THE TRACK.
Excursionists Going to Lake Ariel
DELAYED at Miners Mills.

The st. Aloysius society, of Wilkes
Barre, conducted an excursion to Lake
Ariel yesterday, which was attended
by several thousand persons. Many
went over from this city during the
afternoon.
One of the early excursion trains
from Wilkes Barre had a mishap at
Miners Mill The train consisted of
eleven coaches. all well filled. They
were the cars of the Erie and Wyo-
ming Valley railroad, but the excursion
ran over the Central Railroad of New
Jersey the connecting point with the
Erie and Wyoming Valley for Lake
Ariel being Plains Junction. At Miners
Mills, within about thirty yards of the
station and just before the Central
branch track cross the Delaware and
Hudson railroad, the last six cars of
the excursion jumped the track in
crossing the switch from the main road
to the branch. All the passengers re-
ceived a shaking up of more or less
violence, but happily none was injured.
Strangely enough the engine and the
first five cars of the train went over
the switch in safety, the sixth car hav-
ing been the cause of the wreck En-
BlHeeT hllldm Oh DellB SlSHdlleu ny
the fireman, who first noticed that the
sixth car had jumped the track
brought his engine to a stop with sur
prising rapidity.
For a time the excursionists were
greatly excited, but when it was posi-
lively ascertained that none had been
injured everybody felt happy and the
Ninth Regiment band, which was
aboard, struck up joyous tune. The
engine with the first five cars which
passed over the switch safely continued
on its way, while the occupants of the
derailed cars waited for the second
section, which also consisted of eleven
cars, and which comfortably accom-
modated those who were delayed by
the wreck. Both the second and third
sections-twenty-two cars in all-were
run over the Delaware and Hudson
railroad to Avoca, whence they took
the Erie and Wyoming Valley line to
Lake Ariel. The passengers of the rear
six cars of the first section were de-
layed only about an hour at Miners
Mills.
Travel was not long delayed by the
accident.

FIVE FAMILIES HOMELESS.
Early Morning Blaze at Duryea Was
q DisnstrOus One.

The fire at Duryea early yesterday
morning destroyed five single dwell
ings on Donnelly street. The struc-
lures were owned and occupied by the
following and their families: John
Dazko, John Dehaba, Joseph Bradel
George Bradel, Joseph Pichler. Two
of the families include eight children
each.
A saloon owned and occupied by Will
liam Hensey was slightly damaged.
The blaze originated in the Dazko
house and speedily spread to the other
structures. AS there were no fire hy-
drants in the vicinity. Duryea Hose
company No. 1 was powerless and a
bucket brigade did little or no good
Excepting the Dazko house much of
the contents of the buildings were
saved. 1t is not known how the fire
started.
The estimated values and the insur-
ance carried were as follows: John
Dazko's building, valued at $3.50. in
sured for $500 in Williams & Fosters
agency, Pittston; John Dahaba, build
ing worth $3.50, insured for $3.50 in Will
liams & Fosters agency; Joseph Brad
ell, building worth $3.50, insured for 500

Bradel, building worth $3.50, insured for
$500 in Hileman's agency; Joseph Pich-
Ter, building worth $3.50, insured for s4O0
in Williams & Fosters agency.
Three previous fires have occurred in
Duryea this month and are supposed
to have been of incendiary origin.

The United States Express company
has adopted the novel plan of using the
Scranton Railway trolley lines for
reaching points north and south of this
city. This is done in order to compete
with the Adams and National Express
companies, which have had a. monopoly
of the territory north of Scranton in
the Lackawanna valley and on the
west side of the river south of the city
by reason Of the contracts between
those two companies and the Delaware
and Hudson and New York, Ontario
and Western railroads.
The United States company has al
ready established agencies at Dun
more, Olyphant and Peckville. Nego-
tiations are now about to be closed for
service of cars to Carbondale and For
est City in the north and toward Pitts
ton over the South Side lines.
The car now in use to and from Dun
more on the Laurel Hill line makes
three round trips daily and the same
number of daily trips are made be-
tween this city and Olyphant and Peck
vile over the Providence line. The
cars are of the closed type and the
same kind as are used for passenger
traffic. Their only distinguishing mark
are the signs United States Express
company" attached to the cars.
Each car is in charge of a motorman
and an Express company messenger.
The latter's duties are the same as
those Of a messenger on a steam rail-
road car. Express matter is way
billed, checked and receipted for under
the steam railroad system.
Probably within a. week or ten days
the express service will extend to Car
bondale and Forest City.
Express cars will be run over the
South Side line as soon as the Moosic
viaduct is finished, as at present pack
ages would have to be transferred for
points south Of the Delaware and Hud-
son crossing

DEVINE'S FATHER OBJECTED.
Would Not Give His Consent to His
Sons Marriage.

Thomas Devine was a very unhappy
young man yesterday,
He is 10 years of age and very much
in love with Miss Carrie Herman, a
comely young woman of about his own
age. That she is not insensible to
his devotion is shown by the fact that
she has promised to marry him. She is
anxious to keep her promise, too, and
was very much distressed when cruel
fate in the shape of Devines father
preventing the prospective marriage.
Both Of the young people reside in
this city.
Devine is n son of John Devine and
apparently father and son do not get
along harmoniously. Yesterday when
the young man called at the clerk of
the courts Office he had a'note from
his mother giving her consent to the
marriage. The father had been there
one hour or SO sooner and filed his OBJ
lection TO his son securing a marriage
license. Consequently when Thomas
and the young woman he wanted to
make his wife appeared upon the scene
the coveted license was refused.
Both entered. a vigorous proteEx and
said some things about the elder De-
vine that would not look well in print.

SELL UNION.MADE GOODS ONLY.
Unjust Attack Made on the Firm of
Samter Bros. 4 Levy.

According to the findings of the duly
authorized labor organization commit
tee now investigating the sale of sweat
shop clothing in this city, the Republi-
cans charge that the firm of Samter
Bros. & Levy sells this class of goods
is unwarranted. While the committee
will not for several days complete it's
report for presentation to the Central
Labor union it's members have ascer-
tanned that the firm in question pur-
chases its clothing from only such man.
ufacturers as sell union-made goods.
Further than this the firm of Samter
Bros. & Levy was not charged by
Agent Rapheal, of the United Garment
Workers, in his recent address before
the Central Labor union with dealing
in the prescribed clothing.
1t had been reported at the United
Garment Workers headquarters in
New York city that Samter Bros. &
Levy and another Scranton firm were
among those suspected of handling the
sweat-shop product, but Mr.. Raphael
remarked that he had ascertained that
Samter Bros. d Levy sold only the
goods purchased of houses recommend
ed by the Garment Workers. He sug-
Gested, however, that the committee
should investigate this firm as we'll as
others. This has been done by the
committee.
The Samter firm gave the committee
free access to all its books and papers
and it was found in the case of Levy,
Harowitz & Co. and Cohen, Goldman &
Co, of New York city, the two sweat
shop firms engaged in the fight with
the United Garment Workers, the
Scranton firm had had no dealings with
the former since 1895 and not with the
latter this year. 1t was ascertained
further that Samter Bros. Il Levy pur-
chased their goods from the very
houses recommended by the United
Garment Workers, houses which en-
pl0y only union labor
The foregoing facts were furnished
a Tribune reporter by Mr.. Samter and
two members of the Central Labor
unions investigating committee. The
information was given in one interview
when all three of the gentlemen re-
ferred to We're present.
ON Monday night of next week the
committee will make it's report.

WHEN TO MAKE YOUR KICK.
Appeal Days Fixed by the Board OF
Revision and Appeal.

The board of revision and appeals
met yesterday in adjourned session aud
fixed days for hearing appeals from
the new assessment as follows: Aug.
3, First, Second. Third, Seventh and

Fifth, Sixth. Fourteenth, Fifteenth,
Eighteenth, Twenty-first wards; Aug.
5, Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth, Twen-
tieth wards; Aug. 6, Eighth, Ninth,
Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Tenth wards.
There was some doubt as to the ne
cessity of again hearing appeals, as it
would only be a repetition of the work
done under the nullified special assess
ment. City Solicitor Torrey gave an
opinion, however TO the effect that it
was necessary and appeal days were
accordingly fixed as above.

RUM0R WAS FALSE.
No Suspicion Attached to the Death
of q Sibley Child.

Coroner Longstreet yesterday inves-

fant at Sibley and found no founda-
tion for the rumor that the child had
died from the effects of poison.
1t had been reported that the infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Williams
had been i'll with measles, but died in
convulsions after receiving medicine
prescribed by a physician. Coroner
Longstreet obtained the prescription,
examined the preparation of the medi-
cine and stated 1T was such as he
would have used in his own practice.
He ascertained that the immediate
cause Of death was bronchial pneu-
monia, which followed the attack Of
measles.
