On Monday last this community was startled

James Taylor one OF Scrantons most energetic
young men. lie was widely known and promi.
nent in Masonic circles. Today we have been
called upon to perform those last sad rites.

stomach, and spent many weary days
and nights in pursuit of relief.
During Wednesday night she was
very restless and her daughter Annie
suffered from an attack of neuralgia
in the face. They comforted each
other during the long hours Of the
night, and shortly after o'clock yes
terday morning the mother prevailed
upon the daughter to seek repose.
When the girl was fast asleep. the
mother formed the plan to end her
life.
Procuring strip of bedticking, she
tore it into several pieces and made
rope of it. One end was securely
fastenened to hook over the bed
room door, and the other was formed
into moose. Mrs. Jarvis stood on a
chair. adjusted her neck, and kicked
the chair from under her.
With dull, crashing noise and
shriek of pain, the woman sank al
most to the floor, her feet barely touch
ing the door sill. The noise awakened
the daughter, who instantly sprang
from her bed, and taking in the situa-
ton at a glance. cut the rope and re-
leased her mother from her perilous
position.
A spark of life yet remained and the
woman was placed on the bed and sew
eral of the neighbors summoned, but
before a physician reached the house
the life had gone out. Coroner Rob-
erts was notified and later in the day
held an autopsy on the body. Death
was due to strangulation, and an in
quest was deemed unnecessary.
Mrs. Jarvis was 40 years of age and
had been a widow fourteen years, her
husband having been killed in the
Marvine shaft. She Is survived by
one daughter and two sons. Annie E..
John w. and Thomas Jarvis.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed at the house Sunday afternoon at
oclock. Interment will be made in the
street cemetery.

CORBETT is OUT
OF THE QUESTION
Champion Jeffries Cannot Consider a
Match with Him, but Would Like
to Meet Fitzsimmons.

| Champion Heavyweight Pugilist of
the World James j. Jeffries was seen
at his dressing room in the Lyceum
theater last night by a Tribune man
and expressed himself freely regarding
his present attitude toward the other
big fellows. Jeffries was interviewed
us he sat in front of big mirror,
| making up for the leading role in
"The Man from the West" in which
| he is the bright particular star. He
was in talkative mood and seemed
perfectly content with life behind the
footlights.
Say he said, modestly, do you
know l am surprising every one with
my acting? Nobody thought I'd be
any good at all for this kind of work
The shows all right, too, I'm telling
you. It's as good show as any man
has on the road, and I've got the
leading role. all right. Why, say. it
isn't a show like some fighters have
got where they haven't hardly any
work to do, but they have got me talk
ing all the time in it,
Here the champion rubbed handful
of red paint on his right cheek and
then proceeded to distribute it over
the large amount of territory on that
side of his head. His countenance be-
gan speedily to assume the hue OF
that of an Indian fighter and here The
Tribune man backed to the door, got
his hand on the knob and nervously
mentioned the name of Corbett and
his evident anxiety to get a match
with Jeffries.
"COrbett!" growled the champion;
what right has he to ask me for a
fight? He's been licked by every one
in the country. Why it's out of the
question for me to fight either him or
Sharkey." He here scattered some
more fame-colored paint over his
rather classic lineaments and contin-
ued, refiectively and bashfully: "Shar-
Keys a changed man since l fought
him. FIe hasn't recovered from those
body blows l gave him and I think
he never will. He's a total wreck"
And Fitzsimmons?" suggested the
champions interrogation.
"Ah," said Jeffries his face lighting
up with an honest glow, there's a diff
ferent question. I'm ready TO meet
Fitz at any time. Why I'd give 81 900
to the man who got me a match with
the Australian. He is undoubtedly a
great fighter His showing against
Rubin was a grand one''
How about Ruhlin?" was the next |
question asked, and Jeffries, as he |
picked up pencil and carefully black |
ened his eyebrows and drew wonderful |
rings around his orbs, said 'Ruhlin's |

glad to take on Rubin. He's way
ahead of either Sharkey or Corbett.

class with Corbett, entirely out OF the

lie informed the officials present that a report
was being circulated that Mr.. Connell had tried
to prevent q settlement of the strike. and asked
whether there any truth in such a report.
'It's falsehood," said one, and another used
more emphatic words in denouncing the report

Asked as TO the position taken by Mr.. Conncl
in bringing the strike to close. one OF the
gentlemen remarked that if it had not been for

and that it was just that he be given proper
credit for the part he took in closing the matter
up satisfactorily.
The Truth representative asked as to what
particular part Mr.. Conncll had played in this
matter, which was OF such vital interest to tho
mine workers and the industrial conditions of
the Lackiwan,m valley
One of those present explained the matter in
the following statement:
''rhc offer of the companies of 10 per cent
was not definite and through Mr.. Connell we
were cnabied 10 have a proposition made to tie
companies which brought about similar propo.
sitior from them, making the price OF pow Ter
Sl.jo per keg and the advance OF 2ia per cent
on all mining This did away with the m
certainty as to what the companies mcant as
to their first proposition, and resulted in its
being accepted in its amended and definite form,
and on which the strike was declared of.
while the official board was in session last
week at llazleton Mr.. Connel was very useful
In keeping us informed as to the position of
the other companies. and as fast as they were
in line we were informed, so that the settlement
was made possible through his efforts. Other
wise the end OF the strike may not yet have

above can be questioned. but that it
might be corroborated by the highest
Official of the United Mine Workers in
