OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY.
Places of Strikers are Daily Being
Filled-Would Not Be Work for
All If Strike Was Over.

There was no apparent change in the
strike situation yesterday. The larger
part of the stonecutters employed by
Frank Carlucci went back to work
in the morning under the new condi-
tions. 1t is thought that the entire
force will be at work in a day or two.
There have been numerous boilers
from the ranks of those out of work
within the past few days and it cannot
be denied that there is a strong feel
ing of dissatisfaction among the men
now that they realize that even if the
Builders Exchange signed the agree
ment in body there would be very
few OF them who could obtain work.
A member of the executive commit
tee of the Building Trades council
stated yesterday that the men who are
out will stay out until next spring IL
necessary. The members Of the EX.
change say that as things stand now
there is no other course left for them
to follow.
There is no possibility of the master
plumbers giving in to the demands of
the journeymen. They will take them
back but they must conform with the
wishes of their employers. Gunster &
Forsyth have six men working and
other members of the association have
also a number of men employed.

MURDERED IN THE WEST.
Former North Scrantonian Met an
Untimely Death.

a telegram was received in this city
yesterday by Martin Cannon, Cf Bloom
avenue, stating that his son, anthony
Cannon, aged 90 years, had been muir
dered and robbed in a lumber camp
known as Upton, located near Mount
Shasta, California, on June 10.
Young Common left here two years
ago, and the last letter received from
him by his father was dated May 26,
in which he promised to write again on
June 10, when he would send him some
money. Cannon worked in San Fran
cisco shortly after his departure from
Scranton, and later resigned to accept
a position with the Shasta County
Lumber company.
On the night - June Is, the .nur-
dered mans father dreamt he saw his
son lying alongside a fallen tree in a
pool of blood with bills scattered
around him. Mr.. Cannon became
alarmed over the dream and sent a
telegram to friend in San Francisco
making inquiries, aud yesterday his
presentament was verified in the tele-
gram received
Deceased is a brother OF James Gan
non, who was formerly employed at
Lanes Spruce street cafe, and Edward
Cannon, who worked in Blacltman's
barber shop on Penn avenue, for sew
eral years. Young Cannon was edu-
Gated in st, Marys parochial school
and previous to his going west, was an
accountant at the Cayuga mine
Further inquiries will be made re-
garding the murder The father is an
old man and is seriously affected by
the news of his sons tragic death.

TIN PLATE INFORMATION.
Exhaustive Report is to be Forward
ed Here Soon,

Secretary Atherton, of the board of
trade yesterday received n letter from
L. K. Torbet, the Chicago man who Is
trying to interest Scrantonians in the
establishment of a tin plate factory
here, saying he will forward in a few
days plans. facts and figures covering
an up-to-date six-mill plant, with u
capacity of 5000 boxes a week, that
will employe $50 skilled mechanics and
have a monthly pay roll of $4,000.
These matters will be placed before
the manufacturers committee of the
board and when it is ready to consider
them Mr.. Torbet will likely be at hand
to give detailed information.
A furnace manufacturer and an iron
speciality company are negotiating
with the board of trade for the es-
tablishment of plants in this city.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-07-26

From n source The Tribune consid-
owned and operated by the Scranton
Railway company have been sold to a
company of capitalists headed by John
A. Riggs, of Reading, who recently or
ganlsed the United Power and Trans
portation company.
The first work undertaken by the
company was the purchase of the Will
mingtOn and Chester Traction company
OF which Robert +. Fox. formerly of
this city, was general manager. Soon
afterwards this company secured the
extensive plant and lines of the
Wilkes Barre and Wyoming Valley
Traction company and is now operat-
ing both of these systems. Negotia-
tions looking to a purchase of the
Scranton lines have been in progress
ever since the Wilkes Barre lines were
obtained and as means, it is alleged,
of Fastening matters the Riggs people
threatened to invade the local field by
extending their Pittston line to this
city largely along a private right of
way.
1t is said that the sale was decided
upon several days ago but the details
have yet to be arranged. The Scran-
ton company operates forty miles of
track and is considered very desirable
property as it has a large city and a
chain of towns and villages up and
down the valley, all knit together from
which to draw.
General Manager Silliman was at his
summer home at Waverly last night
and when questioned by telephone de-
MED all knowledge of the sale.
II have heard nothing about it," was
his statement.
The purchase of the Scranton lines
| by the Riggs people, if true, gives
them a continuous line from Archibald
to Nantiooke, a stretch of thirty-five
miles.

TO REFORM PREACHERS.
Novel Crusade That Rev. j. c. Ho-
gan Is to Lal ,ch Next Sunday
In Now York City.

Rev. j. c. Hogan, who for several
years furnished sensations at each
meeting of the Wyoming conference
is now in New York. city, The New
York World of yesterday printed the
following concerning him:
I'm a new tent at the corner of
Broadway and Fifty-sixth street,
across the way from the Gospel tent,
on Sunday next a missionary will be-
gin months service for the saliva
ton of preachers
This novel crusade will be led by
the Rev. j. c. Hogan, a regularly or
dained preacher of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, who two years ago at
tracted the attention of the whole
country by publicly burning his decree
of ordination and declaring that
thenceforth he would preach to reform
preachers.
"'Mr. Hogan, for he prefers to be
thus designated rather than as Rev
has been for ten years a prominent
member of the Wyoming conference, a
Methodist church association in a
number Of the southeastern New York
and adjacent Pennsylvania counties.
Mr. Hogan does not believe in hired
ments on this subject pointedly.
1T is impossible to imagine Christ
or Paul he says, 'consenting to preach
trial sermon before pulpit commit
| tee in the hope of thereby securing
a 'calp from a congregation of polite
| ians to preach to them for from one to
five thousand dollars a year.
Mr.. Hogan believes that a preacher
he indnnanhanf N Of ha .
his congregation, and to prove his
words he has, with his brother, opened
a little temperance restaurant at No.
| lSS Eighth avenue.
Take the typical pulpit preacher
of this city, Mr.. Hogan said yesterday
to a World reporter, and you find him
| making a pretense of eXhorting men to
a Christian life, while he is supported
| by men whose political acts and asso-
| Citations prove that they have rejected
Jesus Christ in all their public lives.
Statistics which are available to
| any student show that there has been
no moral progress in this country since
| 1861. Crimes of violence, divorce and
drunkenness have increased three
! times as much as has population.
"'At the same time such societies as
the Christian Endeavor and the Ep-
worth League have sprung up, number
ing their millions of members;
churches are being built as never be-
fore. and we now propose to ask the
| preachers, if they are preaching the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, how these
things can be reconciled.
I'VE are going to preach salvation
and damnatiCn to the preachers of New
York; We are going to show that the
ministers are chiefly responsible fol-
the social and political conditions un,
der which we live because they are
afraid to attack the sinners who make
those conditions"

AN OPEN AIR CONCERT.
Given by Bauer's Band at the Resi-
dence of Hon. and Mrs.
William Connell.

The band concert on tho hill prom
ises to be a permanent affair. Hereto
fore nobody has seemed to value or
provide a suitable spot from which
they may discourse sweet sounds. A
street corner. a house top, a railway
station platform, the front steps of
public building or any other old place
where a hurdy gurdy could find stand
ing room, was considered good enough
for even Bauer.
Last night, however, when the popu-
lar leader and his band arrived to give
complimentary concert to Hon. Will
liam Connell and Mrs. Connell, at their
Clay avenue and Vine street residence,
they were almost paralyZed to find on
the opposite side of the street, occu-
pying a prominent position, an i'm
posing elevated platform, brilliantly
lighted, surrounded by a substantial
rail and provided with chairs for the
accommodation of the musicians.
1t is probable that Mr.. Connell will
allow the stand to remain or will erect
another still more complete, as Mr..
Dauer expressed himself as SO much
pleased that he would be glad to give
band concert there each week If so
nished.
The scene last night was striking in
the extreme. From across on the South
Side rose the flames above the steel
| mills lifting the glow of prosperity far
into the sky and over the assembled
multitudes. In the streets little chill
| dren danced to and fro to the inspiring
music. The verandas and lawn sur
|
| dazzling with electric lights, and were
| the background for many guests. From
| far and wide the people gathered,
| thronging the streets in every direction
| and giving the most unqualified express
| sions of approval of every number.
The programme was carried out with
but slight deviatlons, and was played
| with excellent taste and great spirit.
! The selections from "The Runaway
Girl' were among those most warmly
encored. The number containing many
Welsh airs called forth vocal accom-
panment from many trained voices in
the audience to whom the melodies
were dear.
An unexpected feature of the even
ing was the rendering of Loves Old
Sweet Song by John T. Watkins, ac-
companed with beautiful effect by the
band. 1t was sung with great breadth
and richness of tone and upon request
was repeated later in the programme.
THE star Spangled Banner" with
| which the evening closed, was received
| with enthusiastic applause. after which
the members, of the band We're greeted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Connell and were
served with refreshments in the dining
room.
