MR.. PowDERLY IN THE CITY.
He Came Here to Cast dis Vote To-
morrow.

morrow.
Hon. T. v. Powderly, commissioner
general of immigration, came up from
Washington yesterday, that he might
be on hand bright and early tomorrow
morning at Mears' mule barn in the
Twenty-flrst ward to cast his vote, a
privilege he has never failed to eXer-
else but once since he attained his ma
iority and that once was when he was
disqualified by having moved out of
one district into another too near elec-
tion day.
Mr.. PoWderly says the fight in Ohio
is absorbing most of the attention of
the Washingtonians, but despite the
fact that the balloting in Pennsylvania.
is looked upon as a matter of form,
not little interest is evinced in the
capital in the size the Republican ma
jorities will attain. This interest is
occasioned in part by the fierce efforts
which the Wannamakerites are put
ting forward to make a showing.
Mr. Powderly says he will be greatly
surprised if Pennsylvania does not give
a big Republican majority. "My eX-
perlence with the horny-handed son
of toll, as the politici IN is wont to char
aCterize him around election day,
teaches me-" said the former master
workman of the knights of Labor.
that he is a very thoughtful sort of
a being, and that he can generally be
relied upon to vote for that which con-
duces to his interests. This being the
case. it is beyond me to see how this
great industrial state in this marvel
Gus industrial revival under Republi-
can administration can offer any hope
to the party under whose only recent
administration conditions existed that
are diametrically opposite to those pre-
vailing now"
Mr.. POwderly spoke interestingly on
the industrial revival, as he does on
every subject he ESSAYS to discuss re-
Lifting several incidents coming under
his observation which went to show
/ how thorough and complete the revival
really is. One of the strongest arCl-
ments tending to prove the great de-
mand for labor is instarCcd Mr.. Pow
dorlY says in the reports from rail-
road men all over the country that the
/ great army Of tramps which Travelled
| by freight in every direction a few
years ago has almost entirely disap-
peared. These men We're not "hobos'
but good honest worlSingmen looking
for emr-oyment, The sequel proves it
! MI Powderly says.
An item of particular local interest
! Mr. Powdcrly brought with him was tc
| the effect that last week he sent back
! to Italy a gang Of fourteen laborera
! who were brought to this country by a
| padrone living in Scranton.

"DEAR Mrs PINBHAM--Wordsc cannot

about seven years. had doctored
with good doctors and taken great
many patent medicines. My trouble
began when my first child was born.
had very hard time and after its
birth would have severe flooding spells.
AFTER my second child had very
good health until last winter when /
again became pregnant and suffered
very much and miscarried. l came
very near dying. and the doctor said l
must have an operation, which fright
ened me very much, and concluded to
write to you for your advice, and take
your medicine. Was troubled with the
whites, great pain in back and hips,
sometimes when lying down or sitting
was unable TO get up. Would have
such pain in groins could hardly walk.
~ can say l have never seen any,
thing so wonderful as Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound and Sana-
tive Wash. Your remedies have done
wonders for me. Hoping that many
of my suffering sisters may be led to
take your medicine from reading this
letter, remain, sincerely yours, Mrs.

advice is certain help.

Talk OF a viaduct over the railroad
crossing on West LaclSawanna avenue
is again quite general on the West
Side and several of the committeeman
are figuring out ways and means of
carrying this project to a successful
issue.
The building of the new freight
house Just below the crossing is the
primary cause of the viaduct talk crop
ping out again. West Siders who
ride frequently to and from the CEN
tral city are viewing the completion
of the building with alarm. 1T Is
bad enough as 1t is now" they say,
"but when the freight depot is COM
pleted and the tracks at the cross
ing become a freight yard there will
be a great increase to the annoyance
Of delays and danger and accident"
CHANGE OF ROUTE SUGGESTED.
There is some talk of doing away
with the West Lackawanna avenue
trolley route to the West Side and
running the cars by way of Linden
street. This proposition is favorable
to the trolley company and should the
city give the company a right OF way
over the Linden street bridge there
is no question but that the company
would quickly take advantage of it.
Some argue that a viaduct at West
Lackawanna avenue must eventually
come and that it might as we'll come
now as at any other time. The troll
ley company and old regime Of the
Lackawanna each offered to contribute
900 to the enterprise under certain
hA N,-nI =
offer as far as is known still stands
good and it is safe to presume that
the new officials of the Lackawanna
would be willing to so the company S
former offer several thousand better
If in return It could get the exclusive
use OF the crossing.
The city hasn't a single cent to de-
vote to such an improvement and
could only raise it by a vote of the
people, as the debt limit has been
reached, and, 1t is feared, exceeded.
THE FIRST STEP.
The first step to be taken by the via
duct revivalists is to interview the off,
cials Of the Lackawanna road and
the trolley company to ascertain what
share Of the expense they would stand,
anu luGu, IL any ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, is
received to make an effort to negotiate
reasonable deal with the property
owners along the course of the via
duct, that their claims for damages
may not at the very outset make the
project impracticable.
Being successful in these things, the
necessary legislation could be- passed
this winter, covering the preliminary
steps to the bond issue and at the
spring election the matter could be
submitted to the vote of the electors.
AS an example OF what can be ex-
pected when the crossing is made a
part of freight yard, the worrying
ones point to the long and frequent
blockades at the Scranton street cross
ing since the switches just to the
south Of 1t were transformed into a
| yard for the making up of coal trains.

Denial Of Davis

Albany, N. Y, Nov 5,-Attorney Cen
eral Davis makes a vigorous denial Of the
statements made by President DOVE Of
the Commercial Travellers league, that
his office had refused TO take action
against the alleged spool cotton trust
MIR. Davis says that not only has his
office not refused but that II is at pres
ent trying to get tangible evidence
against the company and that the sole
delay was because Mr., Doves list Of
merchants who would give evidence was
proven fictitious and that Mr.. Dove, al
though promising other evidence, failed
TO furnish it.

HE WANTED TO SEE DAVIS.
The Result Was That He Spent the
Night in the Station House.

Night in the Station House.
Early yesterday morning a man en-
tered the Centre street police station
and remarked: II want to see Davis"
Sergeant Reese Jones, who is in charge
of the station. told the man that no
such party was there, at which the in
terrogator departed, to return shortly
afterward and ask once more for Davis.
Again he was informed of the lat
ter's absence, at which he waxed both
indignant and profane, and departed
to return again, with the same old
query On receiving the same answer
again, he swore loud and long, and at
last Sergeant Reese put him ont of the
place. The mans ire arose and, maxi
ing a frantic clutch at the sergeant, he
tore the latter's coat and otherwise as
saulted him.
The sergeant promptly locked him up.
and at the hearing Yesterday morning
the belligerent party, who gave his
name as Reuben Heinc, was sentenced
to 81 fine or fifteen DAYS in iail, on the
charge Of drunk and disorderly con-
duct. Feine is a married man, thirty
