..I never saw Cardinal Gibbons but once," remarked a member of the little group In the lobby. "One cold, grey morning at Queenstown 1t was my duty to rise early in order to met a ship outward bound for New York. I arrived early at the pier from which the tender left for the great ship, and, wrapped up to my ears, I watched with some interest the crowd thronging, some to take passage to America, some to take leave of those bound westward Prob ably ten minutes before the hour for the tender to depart for the great ship down the harbor, I observed a commotion on shore. Many priests were there, and Catholics of high-degree At the gang way I awaited their coming, curious to know what it all meant. The first man to walk upon the gangway was small of stature and with face as clean-cut as the figure on some rare cameo. He reminded me at the same instant of Tilden and Evarts. As he approached me discovered that he wore under his conventional silk hat a red skull-cap, and . Roman collar above e red scarf; the which at once con- veyed to my lay mind the fact that the man was prince of the Church of Rome. In fact, he was Cardinal Gibbons. who was

Wyoming Seminary Defeats the Nor
mal-Score 10 to o.

Special TO The Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, oct. S.-Normal played
n fairly good game of foot ball yes
terday with Wyoming seminary on
Normal campus. Score, 10 TO 0, favor
of Wyoming. The interest in the game
was increased when it became known
that Overfield, the great University of
Pennsylvania centre, would referee the
game.
The feature of the game was the
playing of Higley. who played right
guard for the Normal team, and
O'Neill, Normal's centre, did excellent
work. The game was lost to the Nor
NAL on account of her poor interfer-
ence. Normal was handicapped by not
having three of her regular players in
the game. The lineup was as follows:
Normal-Ramsey, left end: Kennedy,
left tackle; Higham, left guard;
O'Neill, centre; Highly. right guard ;
Bird, right tackle; Davitt, quarterback
O'Neill, left halfback; Reese, right
halfback; Palmer. fullback; Pervis,
right end.

terback; Williams, left halfback; KEEL

CULM CAUSES LITIGATION.
Damages Claimed Amounting Up in
the Hundreds of Thousands.

Pottsville. Oct. S.-I.aw suits fou
damages to property by culm along the
banks of the Schuylkill river continue
to multiply. On Friday Sheriff Probst,
of Berks county, was here ard served
a large number of papers on Schuyl-
kill county coal companies who are ac-
cused of washing the clum into the
river. Mr.. Prohst also visited Carbon,
LuZerne and Lackawanna counties to
give representatives of the coal COM
panies legal notice of the suits brought.
Altogether 620 papers were served by
Sheriff Probst in the coal region. These
were all issued in the cases of the 2l
bills in equity filed by Berks county
farmers against the coal companies,
charging them with allowing the dirt
from the mines to run into the Schuyl-
kill AS each year the culm appears
farther down the Schuylkil valley,
there is apparently no end in sight to
the suits against the coal corporations.
The claims in the hands of G. Fl.
Gerber of Pottsville, alone amount to
over 100000 for damages. Mr.. Gerber
has settled great many of the suits
he had on hand, but he has as many
cases today pending in court, as he
ever had. In order to settle the matter
Mr.. Gerber proposes to bring one big
suit against all the companies respon-
sible for the culm in the river The
claims of all of MI Gerber's clients
will be merged into this one suit

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review,

New York, Oct. THE stock market
was much neglected today, the yacht race
proving the greatest attraction Prices
moved narrowly except in few Indus
trials, and the small room traders had
the market all to themselves They bid
up prices after the opening in expecta-
tion of a favorable bank statement
Prices declined when the statement ap-
peared, but there was no urgent liquid
alton and the bidding up of Louisville to
point over last night steadied the mar
ket. The closing was rather irregular
Attempts to still further depress Brook
lyn Transit met with resistance and the
stock gains a point net. Changes Eener-
ally are very small and mixed, but the
majority are gains. The bank statement
failed TO show the large relief as n re-
suit of expenditures by visitors to the
Dewey celebration which has been much
harped on by spectators all the week
Not more than a million dollars owing
to the drain to the interior and to the
sub-treasury can be detected from the
bank return. The reduction I'm the re-
serve requirement by reducing loans So
100000 was not sufficient to offset the loss
in cash and the surplus falls to S6i3.2O0.
Today's clearing house statement shows
the sub-treasury a debtor to that insti-
tuition for 81, ,92139O. Coupled with the re-
ceipt of gold by today's incoming steam
ers. this had the effect of counteractinG
to a slight extent the unfavorable bank
statement. Total sales, 1S9,100 shares
