THE UNION MARKET.
A New Departure for Scranton.

The opening of the Union Market, for
as such it will be known. at 1876 and
12S Washington avenue CThe Price
BuildinG), tomorrow will mark a new
departure for this city. The Union
which, of course, is not on scale with
the big markets of the larger cities of
the country. will. however, be conduct
ed on the same lines as the big city
markets. An aisle about ten feet wide
Will extend in the centre the entire
length of the building, and spaces vary
ing in size. according to the line of
goods to be handled, have already been
rented to different persons. each of
whom viii he proprietor of his own stall
just as much as though he rented a
separate store. 1t is the intention to
have only first-class goods handled, and
as this plan of doing business reduces
the expense very materially it will
make it possible to sell at very reason
able rates. owing to it's location and
arrangement the market will be a very
convenient place for housekeepers to
do their shopping, as everything i'm the
edible line can be had there. Stalls
have already been rented to parties for
the following lines: Meat market, fish
butter, cheese and eggs: grocery store,
crackers, cakes and home baked goods;
confectionery, ice cream and summer
drinks; tea, coffee and spices. and cafe
We think the Union Market a step in
the right direction. and We wish it the
success it deserves. ~

YATsKo is. UNDER ARREST.
Charges That Have Been Made
Against Him.

Michael YatSko, a resident of the
Ridge, at Archibald, was arrested at
the instance Of County Detective Ley
shon on Monday and given a hearing
before Squire Cummings, of Olyphant,
on charge of larceny, and held i'll
5000 bail for a further hearing before
Alderman Howe next Tuesday evening.
Nearly a year ago a man named
Rhodes, who is in charge of the Nc
Keever farm on North Main avenue,
missed buggy from his premises val
ued at $75. A warrant was issued for
Yatsko's arrest, charging him with the
theft, and when the latter heard of the
charge, he left Archibald and went to
New York.
About three weeks ago one Of Rhodes
boys was driving along the road up the
valley and passed Yatsko, who was rid
ing in the identical vehicle for which
he was charged with stealing. The boy
returned home and notified his father,
and Rhodes proceeded to Archibald,
where he found the buggy. Yatsko
claiming to have received it in a trade
for cart. The latter had the vehicle
repainted to avoid detection.
Rhodes recovered the buggy, but five
weeks ago lost a COW valued at $50 and
1atsko was accused of stealing the ami
NAL. When approached he denied hav-
ing taken the COW, but furnished in
formation of it's Whereabouts, and it
was recovered.

In all probability the striking car
pentcrs were never in such a cheerful
frame of mind as they We're yesterday.
on all sides the men seemed inclined
10 the belief that a settlement of the
existing difficulty was near at hand.
If such a result should not ensue in
the immediate future they now have
the assurance that they will be sup
ported to the end by the national or
ganization.
The announcement was made in The
Tribune at the beginning of SIC strike
that the Carpenters and Joiners
Union of America would support the
local organization during the strike.
A telegram received from T. J. Nc
Guire, the secretary-treasurer, yester-
day morning stated that the first in
stallment of the money was now on
its way to this city and that the ma
tiOnal organization would stick to the
strikers through thick and thin. 1t is
expected that Mr. Mcclure will arrive
here Thursday.
The announcement that funds are
now on the way and that more can
he had when needed increased the en-
thusiasm of the men.
The tie-up was just as tight yester-
day as it was on Monday and all the
sympathizing unions who are out are
still firmly determined, they say, to
stand with the strikers. 1t is thought
that some of the money received can
be used to assist these unions who are
out in sympathy, but this is purely
cOniectural.
The wood workers are being gradual
ly brought over, the strikers say, and
it is thought that in a few days they
will all be out. The wood workers, on
the other hand, claim that they would
not be justified in going out on SYM
pathy strike, as they say their places
would be filled by the back-sliders from
the carpenters ranks. They say that
they will not take the place of car
penters or work with non-union men
and that they wish to see the strikers
win. They further state that they
have an agreement with their employ
ers and that it would be small in them
to quit work at the present time. TAX
ing it all in all it is doubtful whether
the wood workers will go out
The Builders exchange is viewing
the situation as calmly as ever and
apparently intends to give the strikers
just as hard fight as they want.
This was evidenced yesterday by the
boarding up of the entrances and win.
doWs of the new bank building on
Lackawanna avenue. From the pre-
paratiOns being made it is apparent
that the contractor was going to wait
it out just as long as is necessary.
1t - not very probable that non-uniOn
workmen will be employed to any great
extent.
The executive committee of the
Building Trades council held meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the strik-
ers' headquarters and transacted
routine business. The council will
meet tonight and some interesting re-
suits may ensue

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-05-04

A colored driver named Alexander Shen-
nerd was arraigned in the Police Court to-
day on charge of violating the section of
the police regulations which makes collid-
ing with vehicles or pedestrians an offense
The affair happened On 9th street north
east late yesterday afternoon
Shepherd drives for Contractor Crawford
and yesterday had a tool box attached to
the rear of the vehicle on which he was
seated. This vehicle collided with Michael
Gregory, an organ grinder, and knocked
the latter down. Lieutenant McCathran
who was seated in front of the police sta
ton at the time, heard the outcries of the
injured man and Went to his assistance
The lieutenant wanted him either taken to
hospital or sent home but he refused.
He insisted that he wanted to play more
music. Shepherd held at the station
because he was unable to leave collateral.
When the case called today for trial
the injured man was unable to appear. 1t
was stated that he was confined to his bed
suffering from the effects of his injuries
Owing to his absence the case was contin-
ued. Shepherd was released on his per-
Sonal bonds
