TEAM CRIPPLED.
Providence Grays Defeated BY Merlden pololslS in
0ne-Sitsd Contest.

The Providence Grays appeared at
Meriden last night with only two of the
original team on the surface. Cunning
ham and Heffernan. With Whiting
paired with Cunningham. Hadley at
centre and Barnefield at half back the
visitors displayed little OF the passing
and little of the team work in defence
which were the strong feature of the
playing of the regular team. The home
team made the score one-sided in the
second period and it seemed more so
because the visitors failed to score a
single goal TO the end of that period.
Whiting scored the first one for Provi-
dence soon after the third period was
started and for a few minutes il was
interesting. After that the Iibernians
scored three and finished with seven
against one. Harrington made his first
appearance i'm this city as a referee
and was very satisfactory. Summary:

MISSIONARY ADDRESS.

Presbytery met at 8 o'clock on We'd
nesday morning, the devotional eXer-
cises being led by Rev. Mr.. Foster of
Scranton. Rev. William Jessup, of
Syracuse, made n ringing address that
stirred all hearts in regard to the mis-
siOnary work in Syria. Mr.. Jessup is 4
son of DIR. II. II. Jessup, of Beyrout.
Syria, and inherits the noble qualities of
his most excellent father He said that
the Protestants in the Turkish empire
had increased from persons in 1889
to $4,000 in 1899. Other work, such as
schools, colleges and printing houses,
have greatly increased. The great dis
couragement has been for the lack of
means, on account of which many of
the schools have been closed. But just
now, announcement comes that a large
sum has been received toward the re-
opening of the schools.
After reading the minutes Of Tues
days session, Rev. William Jessup was
received from the Presbytery on New
Brunswick, after which Messrs. Fl. A.
Nye, j. II. Cowan and Mr.. Campbell
who were examined on Tuesday, were
licensed to preach the gospel A call
from the Bernice church was made to
Mr.. Campbell for his pastoral SER
vices, which call he accepted and ar
rangements We're made for his installa-
tion. Mr. Campbell has been laboring
as a local evangelist in the Rernice
church for four years and been very
successful in his work. and has great
iy endeared himself to the people.

TROUBLE THREATENED
AT STEVENS COLLIERY
Polish Miners Declare That the Work
Shall Not Be operated-Awed by
Sheriff's Posse.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Pittston, Sept. 20.-Ever since a few
days after the riot at the Stevens
colliery a few weeks ago, the company
has had men at work making .repairs
in the mines, the number being gradu
ally increased until at present about
10 men are at work. The striking for
eigners had made no direct objection
until yesterday, when they sent word
to one of the sheriff's deputies, a Polish
interpreter, to attend their meeting to
be held yesterday. While present at
the meeting, the deputy was informed
that the men now working would BE-
stopped on and after today (Wednes-
day.. The foreigners said they would
prevent the work from going on even
if they had to sacrifice their own lives.
The deputy Immediately informed
Sheriff Harvey, who was in attendance
at Allentown fair, and the sheriff ar
rived in town last night with a rein
forcement of deputies. Early this
morning the deputies. thirty in num-
Der, some armed with Winchester ri
fies. others with revolvers, took their
position near the scene of the late
riot and awaited the arrival of the
strikers. The expected trouble, how
ever, failed to materialize, not one Po-
lander being seen near the colliery,
and the only glimpse got OF them was
when they stuck their heads out of the
windows of their homes as several dep
uties patrolled the streets leading to
the mine. They have evidently had all
the fight they want. Several Polan-
ders are among the company nsen now
at work. The sheriff has posted riot
notices in the vicinity of the colliery,
warning the strikers.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Sept. 20.-This was a day
of violent fluctuations and great specu-
lative excitement upon the stock eX-
change. The movement OF prices was
so fcVerish ana uncertain that the DIS
position among professional operators
was general to close up accounts with
the day. As n consequence net changes
are astonishingly small considering the
wide vibration during the day. In only
n few instances do they exceed fraC-
tlons. and though the majority OF
stocks are lower there Is fair sprink-
ling Of gains. There was n time in
the morning when n long list of spec
ialties had advanced between Y and
points and during the afternoon they
fell very generally to as much below
last nights level. a range of between
and s points was traversed during
the day by the following Industrial
stocks: Continental Tobacco. smelling
Preferred, Colorado Fuel. Consolidated
Gas, Federal steel Manhattan. Peo-
pies Gas, Sugar. Tobacco. Metropoli-
tan Street railway and Brooklyn Tan

so widely as a rule but an extreme

scale. With n total capitalization Of
100000 shares the days dealings in this
stock footed mp 2S5,175 shares. It ad-
vanced 2% after the opening, fell ~
to new low level at 76t5. and then
retraced its course. rising points to
SAY. and closed at the high level Of tho
morning. The whole market followed
in Its wake in n general way. though
its erratic fluctuations were impossi-
bic to follow at all times. The mar
ket was a ggantiC speculative contest
throughout The bears broke down the
gains which had been built up in the
morning with apparently little effort.
There was large selling through CORE
mission houses and the flood Of In
dustrials poured upon tho market was
said to be due to the calling of some
large loans in which those stocks f1G-
urnd as collateral and which We're sold

FEMALE LABOR SCARE.
Not Enough Girls to Suit the Potts
vile Factories.

Pottsville, Sept. 2O.-Scarcity Of fe-
male labor is the cry Of the silk and
shlrt manufacturers here. Some time
ago, when business was dull. many
girls left Pottsville 70 seek employ
ment elsewhere. Now the supply Of
female labor is not equal to the de-
mand. The shirt factory has for some
time been incapacitated ewing 10 lack
OF hands to operate the machines.
There is a wonderful Increase in the
demand for female labor in the rast
year or two. Many factories desiring
to locate here have been compelled
to seek other places on account Of the
scarcity of this element Of tine local
population.
