M'MANUS BADLY INJURED
Came in Contact with Live Wire
in Front of Coal Exchange, on
Wyoming Avenue.

Michael McNIanus, of 1l3 Forest
court, an electrician employed by the
Scranton Illuminating, Heat and Pow
er company. fell from a step-ladder in
front Of Dougherty a. Thomas milli-
merry store, in the Coal Exchange build
ing, on Wyoming avenue, yesterday.
and received injuries which rendered
him unconscious for several hours.
NcManus was doing the preliminary
wiring for an arc light, when he fell.
He was standing on a ten-foot ladder
and in some manner was thrown or
slipped from his hold to the side
walk, landing upon his left arm and
shoulder ana head. He laid where he
struck without moving a muscle. The
LaChawanna hospital ambulance re-
sponGed to a call and conveyed him
to that institution, where he, lay in
an unconscious state for several hours.
McManus' arm and shoulder are bad
ly bruised and swollen, while he bears
a slight abrasion over the eye and a
discoloration of the optic. Other than
these there are no marks to show for
McManus' terrible fall. The full ex-
tent of his injuries have not as yet
been ascertained, but it is not be-
lieved he is seriously injured.
There Is a difference Of opinion as
TO the exact cause of his fall. At
first II was thought that he had re-
ceived shock which threw him from,
the ladder. 1t may have been that a
rai, of forceps, which he held, came
in contact with what is known to the
wiremen as "a knock" wire. or he may
have lost his balance and slipped from
the ladder.
McManus is well known around town
and has been an electrician for four
teen or fifteen years. When Hickey
was chief of the fire department, h;
was assistant chief.

A canvass was yesterday made by
Tribune reporters of well-known city
business men, in an effort to secure en-
pressions from them regarding the
present situation. The general senti-
nent of all seen was decidedly anti
strike, and there seemed q unanimtv
of opinion that IL a strike Is declared
without more apparent grievances be-
ing advanced as a cause for suspension
of work, the movement will be most
serious blow to unionism in this sec
tion of the country.

treasurer Of the Langcliffe, Latin.

| through long experience with all
phases of the local mining situation,

declare a strike they will make u ter
riDle mistake. A strike for sentiment
is always such, as the past has

"The relations our company had with

strike was called, the men had griev-
ances, real grievances, and we recog-
nized that fact. Now, however, tho

MIR. BROOKS OPINION.

r. II. Brooks, who was secretary of
:he companies %: which Mr. Dale WAS
treasurer declared to a Tribune mar
that from personal conversations held
with a number OF miners he knew that
they were opposed to strike, and il
they went out It would be only through
a blind obedience to orders. The state
ment given out by Mr.. Dale. he said,
expressed his own views and he add
ed to this:
Il have been around the mines all
my life I have worked in them and
/ know and like the miners as a class.
Since this strike talk has been in the
air, have held conversations with
several men at the collierios. and the
general sentiment among them can be
best expressed in the words of one
man who said: why, we don't want
to so out on strike, but If ones or

At an old settlers picnic near Gold
smith, Saturday, Herman Salter had a
wagon-lo load OF mysterious looking half
pint bottles in an adjoining grove. tie
carried samples among the crowd, saying
with wink that he had fine article Of
"tea." The bottles sold like hot cakes,
and his load was soon disposed Of, some
OF the thirsty ones buying three and
four bottles. When the purchasers
went to secluded spots to sample the
liquor they were Disguised by the dis
covery that it was really tea and not
whisky. as they supposed. The tricky
vender was arrested for obtaining money
under false pretenses, but was acquitted,
the magistrate holding that the goods
were as represented, that the only decep-
ton was in the wink, and that winking
was not an indictable otfense.-Kokomo
