FELTz WHIPS nEv1SE. :

Trenton, March 5.-Thomas Feltz of Brooklyn last night knocked Jimmy Deyine of Philadelphia out in ore of the fastest and hardest fights ever seen nt the Trenton A. c. It lasted only three rounds. but in that short space the Quaker received the most damaging punishment it could be pos sible to administer with six-ounce gloves. And Feltz. too, was roughly handled. Devine appeared to have the heaviest hitting outfit. but he was en- tirely out of the galne in the quickness Of the pace. The Brooklyn lad sprung q few of the ''ne'v ones" taught him hy his accomplished adviser. Terry McGovern. and the Philadelphian failed td follow. 1eltz's last blow was short in-hook to the jaw.

opposed by the Magee-Flinn ring,
which controls Pittsburg and Allie
gheny, and will. as u matter OF course,
favor any legislation which strips that
crowd OF its power.
This amendment which We have di-
rected to be drawn up does this and
cannot help but receive his support.
The committee to which 1t will be re-
ferred will be controlled by the Quay
faction and will without doubt report
favorably upon it. When IL comes TO
vote, we will have the support OF the
entire Quay faction. and l have no
doubt but that we will be able to
draw insurgent and Democratic votes
to our sides.
I'VE must get at the Legislature be-
fore the amendments are introduced.
We must go down there and do as
much persistent legitimate lobbying as
we can"
Mr.. Keller wasn't so sanguine. lie
thought that Finn and Magee would
prove too strong an opposition to run
up against, but the other members
thought differently.
Mr.. Roche and Mr.. Vosburg are to
go to Pittsburg on Friday for the pur-
pose of finding out what second-class
city legislation, If any, is being pre-
pared by the Quay element In that
city. 1t was stated last night that
Messrs. James and Scheuer had re-
ceived assurances that they would be
given places on the committee on
municipalities.

SECRETARY OF THE
CHAUTAUQUA IN CITY
Mrs. Minnie d. Lewis Entertainingly
Addressed Large Audience at Ex-
celsior Club House Last Night.

Mrs. Minnie ID. Lewis, of New York
city, national field secretary of the
Jewish Chautauqua association, last
night delivered stirring address be-
fore "a large audience at the Excelsior
Social clubs house on Washington ave.
nue., and succeeded in arousing a good
deal Of enthusiasm in local Chautau-
qua work.
Mrs. Lewis organized the Scranton
branch of the association last year,
since which time 1t has grown and
thrived and done really excellent
work. At last nights meeting there
were present a number of persons not
me embers and Mrs. Lewis devoted her
energy to converting these into Chau-
tauqua workers. AS n result of her ad-
dress several names were enrolled on
the membership list and a number of
substantial contributions to the asso-
cations treasury were made.
In her address Mrs. Lewis spoke en-
tertainingly of Chautauqua work in
general. She spoke entirely without
notes and her friendly, confidential
manner of address was both interesting
ard effective. She urged a more thor
orgh study Of the Bible, and declared
that there was n deplorable ignorance
of simple Biblical facts and elementary
scriptural themes.
Rev. A. S. Auspacher, pastor of the
congregation of the Linden street syn
agogue, followed Mrs. Lewis and in an
impromptu speech, brimful of enthusi-
asm heartily urged the furtherance OF
the Chautauqua course of study, with
its attendant Biblical work. The
study of the Bible" he said. should
be of Importance. equal with the class
les. in the curricula of our larger uni
vcrsities. The lessons carried by the
puie simple stories OF Scripture have
an influence on the formation of char
acter which will not be found in any
of the lyrics of ancient Greek or Ro-
man writer's
An open discussion then followed at
which Mrs. Lewis answered several
questions pertaining to Chautauqua
work and the meeting then adjourned.

Clergy and Presidents Meeting.

ClelBy ana FreSlQeutS meeting.
A meeting of the clergy, all denom-
nations, and the presidents of the
beard of trade. all hospitals and char
liable institutions in the city of
Scranton will be asked to meet in the
immediate future in the interest OF
charity. The date, time and place will
be given in tomorrow's issue of this
paper.
- clergyman from each church
or denomination will be expected to
attend the meeting because they all
have the welfare of our charitable in
stltItions at heart.
The presidents OF the charitable in
stitutions will be there because they
not only want. but need, all the as
sistance that they can get.
The president of the board of trade
Will naturally be there because he is
| even ready to benefit our business pub
lie and the community in general.
Al the meeting it will be shown that
our business public are in 81 position
to very materially assist our charitable
institutions. some of which are very
much in need, and not have it cost
them one cent.
Why? Because, all they need do
to bring the result about is to
simply give their regular patron
age to the directory that 1 will pub
lish this year. the entire profits OF
which will be given to lessen the needs
of our charitable institutions, which
the public must necessarily support
any way.
There can be no doubt but that by
eXerting its influence in extending pat
ronage to the project, this public can
astonish even itself, by the amount
that can thus be made available for
our charities.
Further. the cost being so much less
| this year. in order that every business
person or firm can afford to advertise
and subscribe, it will be saving to
| those who must have u directory and
who usually advertise in 1t.
Subscriptions, without advertising
| oDly $3.50. With your full business
| card, only $3.50. Advertising only
| about two-thirds usual rate, hence the
saving, from usual prices. and the
| greater the volume of subscriptions
| and advertising warranted.
| In giving your patronage, remember
you are giving 1t to the community, to
God, and humanity.
This is to be no individual property
it is to be the peoples directory, pub
| lished by and for the people of Scran-
ton. yearly; and no persons name will
appear upon or in it as owner oI

ANNOUNCEMENT INCORRECT.
Colonel Watres Says Nobody Knows
Whether Thirteenth Will Attend.

Colonel l.. A. Watres, of the Thlr-

the announcement that definite ar
rangements had been completed for the
regiment to attend the inauguration of
Pre- esident Mckinley was incorrect.
Nothing definite was known, he said.
The authorities at Harrisburg had been
requested to do all in their power 10
secure railroad transportation, and
they had announced that they would
do so. The colonel appeared hopeful,
however. that favorable news would
be received in few days.

PROGRESS at EIkins.

Special Correspondence Manufacturers
Record.
The city of Elkins, as its new liberal
charter terms it, is just now entering
upon the climax of eleven years of con-
tinuously prosperous growth. One of
the causes of its activity is the n%earness
to completion of 20 Coal & Iron Rail
way, which has been under construction
for sixteen months, and which, opening
up many hundred thousand acres of vir-
gin timber and other valuable products,
will connect with the Greenbrier branch
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. The
grading is nearing completion, and as
the girders are now being placed for
the bridge across the river here, track
laying will soon begin. Building oper-
ations in the town were never so active,
and most of the buildings being erect
ed are of the most substantial charac-
ter, largely of brick and stone. The
Trust Company, Of West Virginia, just
organized and ready for business, of
which former Senator Henry G.. Davis
is the president and controlling spirit,
is erecting a modern banking building,
all OF stone and steel, with the latest
Improvements in safety vaults. So ac-
tive dIS UulfulIlS UpSidLiUHS THAT lH6lS
is strong demand for more building con-
tractors for stone, brick and frame
work.
With railroads radiating in four di-
rections from Elkins through regions of
the greatest activity in mining and
lumber industries, the advantages of
the town are becoming apparent, and
wholesale MERCHANDISING is becoming a
feature. A Wholesale progeny has been
in successful operation for a year, and
the contract for the building of a
wholesale notion house has been let.
Other wholesale dealers are looking for
locations.
Elkins offers a most favorable oppor-
tunity for manufacturing industries de-
pendent upon timber of any kind grown
in this State, upon cheap fuel and upon
either Eastern or Western markets,
reached by ample railroad facilities.
Furniture manufacturers, tanners, *
tract makers will be repaid by a care
full examination of the resources of this
territory.
Real estate has been very active,
mostly for building purposes, and the
demand for lots continues. Owing to
the high and healthful location of the
town, its churches and good schools,
many live here who are engaged in bus
mess at other points.
Messrs. Livingstone & Robb are about
ready to let contract for a three-story
store and Office building. Messrs. Ken
dali & Won Altman are getting esti-
mates upon a three-story brick building.
Howard Sutherland is ready to let con-
tract for frame dwelling-house to cost
about $4,000. The Reymann Brewing
Co. is erecting a cold-storage, bottling

faint discordant note at a local plant

and only a very few people are concerns
ed. Mills and factories are working
steadily. with plenty of orders. and al
though the season Tor the regular sum-
mer stops for rest and repairs is APP
preaching, 1t is possible that the period
OF rest will be cut very short in some
instances and in a few be omitted alto
gether. The weather Wednesday and
Thursday was pretty severe upon the
workmen in the mills, but conditions
were slightly favorable Friday and
yesterday. The building trades are
still active, although there has been
some little interference from rains. City
street improvement work will start up
in earnest, and will give employment
to a good many men.
The old tin house at the La Belle will
go on tomorrow.
