DEWEY'S RELATIVE RANK.
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 am in hearty accord with most
of your editorial of today entitled
Dewey" / cordially agree with all your
words Of praise to this distinguished Off
Ger, and your suggestion that he be given
the rank of admiral as the legitimate sue
cessor of Farragut and Porter-although
in my judgment Schley's work at Sanu-
ago will bear quite favorable comparison
with the victory of Dewey. But | write
this note TO protest against remark in
your editorial which l must believe was
hurriedly written. You say: 1.-TWO men
before him-Farragut and Porter-have
been made admiIals. To this list con-
gress will not fail to add a third, whom
history without doubt will mention as the
greatest of ALL" History can do nothing
of this kind in Justice to those magnlIi-
cent heroes of the old navy. 1t is enough
that Dewey's name should be mentioned
with theirs. He needs no higher praise.
But to say that he is greater than the
grand old comman ander of the Hartford" ="
or the hero of the Mississippi, is to ig-
more a series of services by both Farra-
gut and Porter which have long been ac-
knowledged by the world as among the
most illustrious ever rendered by any Of
ficers in the history of naval warfare.
Farragut's record for daring achieve
ments, showing coolness of head, extra
ordinary courage and clear judgment, is
unique. 1t must be remembered, in maxi
ing comparison, that the heroes of this
Spanish-Americ war did not go up
| against Americans, but against Span
iards. Farragut and Porter won their
laurels fighting Confederates, who are
our own flesh and blood. Had our boys
of the army and navy in their present
war run up against" for example. Joe
Wheeler or Fitzhugh Lee. and their col
leagues of the Confederate navy, it would
| doubtless have been more expensive, and
as in the days of yore, might not alway9
have been one way.

JACK SKELLY's STATEMENT.
Predicts a Great Battle Between
Judge and Williams.

Jack Skelly, manager of the Ameri-
can Sporting club, Of this city, is in
town to complete arrangements for the
2O-round bout between Jim Judge, of
this city, and the welterweight cham
pion of Australia, Tom Williams, to-
morrow night.
Skelly has visited Williams training
quarters many times since the match
was made and is pleased with the
grand condition Williams is in. Skelly
expects this will be one of the greatest
fistic battles ever decided in this part
of the country. He also wants it un-
derstood that this bout will be for a
decision. He has the forfeits Of both
men and will hold them to their agree
ment. Bobby Dobbs boxed ten rounds
with Judge yesterday. Judge says he
never felt better in his life. His looks
don't belle his statement.
Williams will arrive here from New
York on this afternoons 5.33 Delaware

these, Mr.. Mcdonald pointed out, and
consequently the witnesses from that
town would have to be examined in
Scranton.
Mr.. Holgate said he had received no
official knowledge of any such order,
and in the absence of such contended
that he could call whatever witnesses
he saw fit to call.
The examiners accepted Mr.. McDon-
aids views OF the case and declined
to hear any witnesses. except those
subpoenaed from the places mentioned
in the order, namely. Carbondale, Car
bondale township, Fell, Jermyn and
Mayfield.
Mr.. Holgate said he would take the
matter to the Judges.
Many witnesses from Archibald and
other places down the valley had been

RAILROADERS OUTING.
Many Attended the Free Excursion
Given Them to Heart If.ke.
Saturday.

The weather man was kind to the
Railr DAD Young Mems Christian asso-
citation Saturday morning on the occa-
sion of their excursion to Heart lake
and furnished a day that was as bright
and beautiful as it could have been
were it in the month of June. There
were between $50 and 450 persons on
the excursion.
To see the railroad man at his work
on the engine, on the cars or in
the shop is one thing, but to see him on
an excursion in the midst of his family
is to see him at his best. He appear
ed a well groomed, good looking and
withal an intelligent gentleman and
his wife equalled him in every respect.
His children were tots of all sizes and
description. He had many grown up
daughters present who were trim look
ing, beautiful and accomplished. He
had number of grown up sons along.
but they were not exactly with him,
as they had girls of their own.
HEART LAKE.
Heart lake is a beautiful place high
up in the mountains of Susquehanna
county where the air is so bracing
that every breath you draw seems to
give new life.
A programme of athletic events had
been arranged. The winner of each
event was presented with beautifully
engraved gold or silver medal. The
boat race at 1890 a. m. was rowed in
three heats. Calvin Coons won first
prize and Wilford Fletcher second
The third heat was a foul. The con-
testants We're:
George Nansteel, II. Hance, G.. Z.
Nitteer, w. Fletcher, Ted Coons, r.
Nj. Brown.
In the 100-yard dash were: G. A.
Brown, Edward Getz,, August Getz. c.
w. Morris, w. Fletcher. II. NJ. Marsh,
I. Ryder. 1t was won by c. w. Nor
rsi; c. w. Fletcher second.
The 220-yard dash, was participated
in by August Getz, w. Fletcher and
f. Werthamer. Fletcher won. Getz
second.
In the obstacle race were; q. A.
Brown, Thomas Ryder, e. Warthamer
r. Mccall. This event was won by w
| Werthamer; r. McCale, second.
GOOD MANAGEMENT.
The happiness of every body was
| largely due to the management of the
Railroad Young Mems Christian asso.
citation, and the kindness of w. F
Hallstead OF the railroad company
who furnished the train. Every rail,
road man VINO held a membership
ticket in the association had been in
vited to come and bring his family M
matter how large. The committee II
charge were as follows:
| j. r. Troch. r. +. Mckenna, T.. X
Crothamel, d. j. Whiteford, William
Frink, A. Frounfclker, NJ. V. Neeley

liams and E. p. Kingsbury. of scran-
ton: Thomas II. Atherton, of Wilkes
Barre. and Frank w. Drake, of To-
ledo, Ohio.
All except Mr.. Eddy leave Scranton
today via the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad to Chicago, where
they will be Joined by Mr.. Eddy with
the official car of the company, the
"Paso del Norte;" thence they go to
El Paso, via the Santa Fe system,
stopping a day at Los Vegas, New
Mexico.
An event of the season is scheduled
for Wednesday when George w. West
Division ass, Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, composed of ontario
and Western and Erie employees, will
give at Lake Poyntelle their fifth an
nual clambake, the proceeds of which
go to the relief fund. Last year the
Scrantonians who attended this bake
returned so enthusiastic in its praise
that this year the representation from
Scranton is likely to be largely in
creased. There are all kinds of So
called clam bakes, but this one of the
railroad engineers is the real thing
done to the point of New England per-
fection by n renowned and truly ex-
pert conductor, Professor Ward Ed
wards whose mastery of the art of
producing eatable results in steamed
game, fish and vegetables is not sur
passed by any person in the business.
Arrangements have been made this
year to feed 500 guests at one sitting
and there will be several sittings.
Commissioner of Pensions II. Clay
Evans, at Washington, said that num-
erous pensioners are going to unneces-
sary expense in afliXing internal rev.
enue stamps to pension papers. This
is particularly the case in regard to
pension vouchers, which are found to
be stamped oftener than any other pa
pers. He wishes it to be known that
the law does not require stamps to be
placed upon any pension papers.

The Republican primaries in the
Third legislative district Saturday were
conducted with considerable warmth.
Across the mountain where live three
of the candidates, N. G. Davis. George
T.. Stephenson and DR.. N. G. Mackey,
this was particularly true. John r..
Johns and Joseph Taylor, of Taylor,
made quiet but energetic efforts to Sc
cure the representation from the low
er end of the district. Hon. Frank
Grover, of Moosic, did not go into the
fight. There will be forty-seven votes
in tomorrow's convention. The con-
vention will be held in Dalton.
In the Second legislative district
there was no contest whatever, John
Scheuer, Junior member of the bakery
firm of Scheuer Brothers, being the
only candidate In the field. The con-
vention will be held tomorrow after
noon at o'clock in the arbitration
room of the court house.
THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
Next Saturday the county primaries
will be held and on the succeeding
Tuesday, the convention. As yet no
opposition has developed to an unani-
dorsement of Hon. f. w. Gunster for
Judge. DR.. A. j. Kolb, of South Side,
and DR.. j. ]. Roberts, of the West
Side, are the most frequently men,
toned candidates for coroner, DIR. S.
p. Longstreet, the present coroner, re-
fusing to stand for a reelection. The
nomination for surveyor is an open
one.
The Democrats of the Third legisla-
tive district will most likely hold their
convention on Aug. 30. This date has
been virtually agreed upon by the in
terested ones. and it will be formally
fixed at meeting of the standing COM
mittee in Coyne's hotel Minooka, this
afternoon. John Theron Brown is the
most prominently mentioned candidate
for the legislature.
THE FIRST DISTRICT.
In the First legislative district
Hon. John r. Farr is still the only
legislative candidate. No one on the
Democratic side is taking any appar'
ent interest in the coming election, but
as in former years, a candidate will
in all likelihood, be placed in the field
for appearance sake. AS yet no vic.
tim has applied, nor has a convention
been called.
There is rumor that Cornelius
Smith is to run independently fol
judge, and that his paper, the Scran.
tonian, is to come out as an afternoon
daily in October, to support him ant
DR.. Swallow.
j. N. Weller, of Mauch Chunk, Dem
| ocratic candidate for congress-man-a
| large was in Scranton Saturday. H
| came here to confer with Captain
| DeLacy, of this city, candidate 70
