aid of lanterns, however, failed to re-
veal the cause of the explosions, but
in the morning it was found that two
Chinese straw bombs had been eX-
ploded.
On May 4, while the steamer ST Paul
was being fitted out as an auxiliary
cruiser for the United States navy. at

had acted in suspicious manner from
the start, and when he was overpow-

vessel were found on his person.
At o'clock in the morning of May 5,
an explosion occurred in a foundry at
Passaic, N. Y. which cost one man mis-
life and wounded three others. This
accident was so singular in many ways
that it was supposed to have had hu-
man agency back of it. The explosion
took place in the boiler room. Eight
boilers exploded simultaneously with
terrific force. A part of one was thrown
fully 500 feet and lodged in build
ing a block distant. The other seven
were wrenched from their foundations
and tossed about in a mad tangle of
twisted iron and steel
The boilers had been overhaued and
tested only few days prior to the eX-
plosion. The spy theory was advanced,
as the foundry was engaged on gov arn-
ment work, and mysterious strangers
had been observed about the place the
day before.

Greeks Were Temperate.

The Greeks were perhaps the most
temperate of the ancient nations. True
they had their wine, but it was of d
mild character, containing but little
alcohol, yet they never drank it with
out the addition of water, and to drink
it otherwise they deemed would be the
act of a barbarian. In short. the
Greek drank for exhilaration, and
never allowed his cups to carry him
beyond it.

LEGISLATIVE LABOR LEAGUE.
ii Will Meet at Harrisburg on Mon
day, January 23.

In issuing the official call for the
convention of the Legislative Labor
league at Harrisburg, Jan. %, a cleric
al error appeared in the notification
circulars, They stated that the rep
resentation win be one delegate from
each central body"
New circulars just issued read as
follows: "The representation will be
one delegate from each local organza-
ton and one from each central body"
To have been absolutely correct, Ihese
later circulars should have contained
the additional information that local
body has the privilege of combining
with some other organization in case
such local body is unable to send a
delegate of it's own. These facts We're
given to The Tribune late last night by
p. j, Thomas, Of this city, treasurer
of the league.
According to the circulars mentioned
the objects of the convention will be
the preparation and discussion of bills
to be presented TO the next session of
the legislature in the interest and for
the betterment of the condition of the

coRAY-JENKINs EQUITY SUIT
Three Witnesses Were on the Stand
Yesterday.

All of Yesterday was consumed by
the taking Of testimony in the equity
case of +. A. Coray against John S.
jenkins. The latter went on the stand
in the morning and was under cross
examination until o'clock in the after
noon.
Colonel l.. \. Watres was next called.
He had arranged with jenkins to buy
the stock of the Spring Brook Railway
company for SO, 900 in cash and $4,000
stock in the Spring Brook Water COM
pany. He drew his check for the
amount, but Jenkins did not have the
stock with him at the time to turn it
over and the deal fell through.
Attorney II. c. Reynolds was one Of
the auditors appointed to ascertain the
condition of the affairs of the Rush
Brook Coal company. When he went
to examine the books of the concern
he found Coray and jenkins in the
office quarreling about their affairs.
He said they ought to be able to settle
their business difficulties without quar-
reling, and Jenkins replied: Il am
ready to do the right thing. l have
told Coray if he will pay me what he
owes me ] will give up his stock, but
ne wants to take the stock out and
bring the money back ! won't let him
do that"

Ardent Policemen.

Jack O'Brien, wanted for nearly a
year for shooting at Special officer
Durlkin, of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western road, was arrested last
night. His brother, "Billv," was also
arrested. Jack" O'Brien had fire.
quently made the boast that he would
shoot full of holes any d peeler"
who ever laid a hand on him.
Last April O'Brien was put off a
train by Durkin near Chinchilla.
O'Brien had a shotgun with him and
discharged it at the officer. The range
was long and only few shot took eff
feet. He had been in many an es-
capade, bat nothing quite so serious as
this one. Efforts to find him were
futile.
OBrien, it was learned, recently re-
turned from Butte City, Mont. A war
rant for his arrest was issued and also
for the arrest of his brother, BILLY"
who was with the other at the time of
the shooting.

were nearly all persons who had signed
the petition asking for the impeach-
ment Of Alderman Kelly. These wit
nesses were Il. +. Lockwood. William
Roth. b. Spiegle, Jacob Diem, NJ. J..
Burnett, Charles Jacobs and James
Robinson. Nearly all of them reside

circulated the petition asking for inn
peachment.

asked Mr.. DeLong to investigate the
official conduct of Alderman Kelly.
She candidly said she did not think
she could afford to be mixed up in the
matter She was arrested and taken

phasized that the institution is greatly
in need of coal.

Friday, when all the clergymen of the
city are invited to be present and
when a cordial invitation is given to
all annual and life members and to

About Justices of the Peace.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following may be of inter-
est to your readers: One day last week
an elderly man came into my place of
business and asked me to change a fiVe
dollar bill which did, giving him some
JO-cent pieces. Some days later the same
man came into the store and asked me
to give him two quarters for half dol
lar which he held in his hand. / pro-
ceeded to make the change but discoY-
cred at once that the half was a counter
felt, bslng white, slippery and quite
light. on refusing to change the money
the old man said / should be willing to
take back what 1 gave and accused me
in the presence of four witnesses Of Civ
ing him the bad piece. He had no proof
whatever that l gave him the bad hair
and l had no knowledge of such piece,
so 1 naturally concluded the Old man
believed me an "easy thing"
A few days later | was summoned be-
fore the alderman of the Eighth ward and
after hearing both sides of this meritless
case, imagine my surprise when no less
q person than this alderman advised me
10 pay the old man good money for his
bad piece. Certainly / refused to do so.
After telling the alderman that no self
respecting man would submit to such
bull-dozing l was dismissed for the pres
ent at least.
Now whether the old man was "work-
ing" me or not is of no particular con-
sequence, but 1 cannot understand the al
derman's advice. 1t recalls to mind the
hundreds of poor Hungarlans, Italians
and Poles who are gouged numerically
by the justice (O Of the peace. Thou
sands of dollars are wasted in fees to
aldermen in this city, the fees being
nearly always charged up TO the party
from whom they can be collected whether
he is guilty or not. One questions wheth-
er the fee system is not a miserable fail
ure applied to any public Office. Will an
alderman give decision against the man
who brings him his living? There is food
for thought in the remarks of friend.

At a regular netting Cigarmakers'
Union, No. 295, held on Jan. 4, 1899,
the following preamble and resolution
was adopted:
Whereas The demand for expan-
sion of trade is based upon the idea
that we manufacture to u larger eX-
tent than we can consume when there
are so many of our people who are
workless, hungry and ragged, and
whereas: The policy of imperialism
is a declartion that self government
has failed and that the people cannot
be trusted and the dollar if of more
consequence than man, and plutocracy
and militarism nobler than humanity,
and
Whereas: We cannot annex the
Philippines without large increase in
our standing army, and
Whereas: A large standing army Is
repugnant to Republican institutions
and menace to the liberty of our peo-
pie. and
Whereas: If we annex the Philip
pines we shall have to conquer the Fill
pino6 by the force of arms and there
by deny to them what we claim for
ourselves-the right of government,
and
Whereas: The annexation of the
Philippines will be direct blow
against the cigar industry of the coun-
try. Therefore be it
Resolved: That we, Cigarmakers'
Union No. 295, of the city of Scranton,
in meeting assembled, do protest in the
annexation of the territory described
