placer thought we were not going there
this summer
NO, not to Chieopee, but to your grand
ma Howland's in Glenwood. The pbysi-
elan THINKS you will be more quiet there,
and the pure air will do you good"
Rose looked earnestly in her fathers
face to see if he meant what be said, and
then replied: I'D rather 20 anywhere in
the world than to Glenwood. You've no
idea how hate to stay there. Grandma
is so queer and the things in the house SO
fussy and countryfied-and cooks by
fireplace, and washes in tin basin, and
wipes on a crash towel that hangs on
roller!'
Mr. Lincoln could hardly repress
smile at Roses reasoning, but perceiying
that he must be decided, he said: I'VE
think 1t best for you to go, and shall ac-
eordingly make arrangements to take you
In the course Of a week or two. Your
mother will stay with you, and Jenny,
too, will be there part of the time;"
then, not wishing to witness the effect OF
his words, he hastily left the room, paus-
ing In the hall to wipe away the tears
which involuntarily came to his eyes as
he overheard Rose angrily wonder why
she should be turned out of doors when
she wasn't able to sit up!'
Il never can bear the scent of those
great tallow candles, never said she;
"and then to think of the coarse sheets
and patchwork bedquilts-oh, it's dread

Jenny's heart, too, was well-nigh burst
ing, but she forced down her own sor-
row, while she strove to comfort her sis
ter, telling her how strong and well the
bracing air of the country would make
her, and how refreshing, when her fever
was on, would be the clear, cold water
which gushed from the spring near the
thornapple tree, where in childhood they
so oft had played. Then she spoke of
the miniature waterfall which not far
from her grandmother's door made
"fairy-like music all the day long, and
at last, as if soothed by the sound of that
far-off water, Rose forgot her trouble,
and sank into a sweet, refreshing SUM

THE REASON WHY.

Some may want TO know what mo-
tive ! have in publishing the city di-
rectory and giving the entire profits
TO our charitable institutions.
First-My advertising business has
taken, and kept me away from home
too much.
Second-By thus publishing the d.
rectory, / create employment for my
self and many others here at home.
Third-I increase the available char
ity fund. or decrease the burden of
necessary charity calls now made
upon our business men: further, will
have assisted (more materially than l
otherwise could in making other souls
happier, the doing of which will give
to me my choice OF joys.
The parties who will be asked to dis
tribute the proceeds are: One a bank
er, the two others are leading men in
commerce and matters of charity; and
the proceeds will go where they are
most needed, regardless OF creed, ism
or color.

Men OF THE HOUR

l. Only two of the many men who catr>,
o the Lackawanna road with Presi-
lent Truesdale to take charge of an
important department in the Scranton
offices now remain. They are j. NJ.
Daily, superintendent Of transportation,
and L. II. Garfield, master car builder
1t Is stated on well-founded authority
that Mr.. Garfield will, before long, en-
joy the distinction, s!ngly and alone
as Mr.. DAILY has about determined to
accept a position with the Southern
Pacific.
Scranton will regret to lose Mr.. DAILY,
rs he has come to be regarded as one
of the kind of men bustling young
city can not have too many of, and it
was expected that when, in the near
future, he would come to be more
prominently identified with its activ-
tiles, he would prove himself as valu-
able to his adopted city as he is to
the company with which he is now
allied.
During his brief residence in Scran-
ton, Mr.. DAILY has made many warm
friends and admirers, and these will
especially regret his departure.
1t is a remarkable thing that SO few
lawyers are elected as members of the
municipal councils in the cities of this
country. The gentlemen Of the legal
profession are greatly in the majority
In congress and in the legislatures OF
the several states, but are very seldom
found occupying seats in the legisla-
tive bodies of a municipality. Es-
pecially is this true in this city, where
the only lawyer in councils is the new
ly elected common councilman from
the Second ward, II. S. Alworth.
Mr.. Alworth met with great oppo-
sition from unexpected sources at the
recent election, but he won out be-
cause the people believed in him, and
there is no question but that he will
prove himself worthy of their trust
He brings to councils not only an un-
olemished reputation as man of
character and of honor. but the deter
mination, to do everything in his power
to help win back for the legislative
bodies of this city the place in the
hearts of the citizens which they have
lost by reason of the recent revelations
made by the Municipal league author
tiles.
He is not a theorist or an idealist.
He says himself that the reformer who
Is not practical is no reformer and
need not hope for success. He has the
legal qualifications to enable him to
legislate wisely for the best interests
of the city, and his record as a mem
ber of council will undoubtedly be a
brilliant one.

MEETING At ST. CLOUD.
Mr.. Coyne was questioned regarding
the celebrated meeting at the st. Cloud
hotel on Feb. TO- He said he was there
for about fifteen minutes, but denied
any knowledge of q combination of se-
lect councilmen. He stated most em-
phatically that he had never received
any money for his vote. Detective
Harris, he said, had offered him some,
but he did not take IL.
He admitted that on one occasion he
borrowed 5000 from General Manager
Silliman, of the Scranton Railway COM
pany, but he said that this had been
paid back and that he had vouchers to
prove It..
Ex-Councilman NJ. V. Morris said he
knew T. II. Brooks, but had never re-
ceived any money from him for his
vote on the telephone ordinance. He
did business with the First National
bank, but denied ever having made q
deposit Of $1,000 in that institution at
one time. He said he had paid to
Charles Robinson two payments of s7b0
and sl,155 on his property, and had
the receipts for the two amounts. He
knew OF no councilmanic combination.
Select Councilman r. c.. Melvin knew
nothing about any combination Of
councilmen, either, he said He said
he had seen L. ]. Maloney, of the Gem
trail Pennsylvania Telephone company,
talking to councilmen in his (Melvin's)
hotel. He had also seen councilmen
there talking to r. w. Gallagher and
Morgan Sweeney.
MELVIN WROTE TO SWEENEY.
He remembered something about hav-
ing written to Sweeney when the lat
ter was i'm Atlantic City, but not much.
If such "a letter was written he said,
1t was of social nature. He had nev-
er received any presents from the
scranton Railway company He re-
duced Il note of $500 in February
last, he said. but denied having re-
duced his notes $1,000
After Mr.. Melvin's testimony the
hearing was adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock. 1t is generally
understood that on that occasion the
league will produce testimony about
the pay-rolls OF the Central Pennsyl-
vania Telephone company, showing the
names of a number OF councilmen with
certain amounts after each.

Dissatisfaction Is still existing be-
tween the Scranton Railway company
and It's employees. Ie results mainly
from their inability to agree on the
compensation of the barn hands, but
there are other differences quite as
serious and the chances are that it
will be some time before there Is a
return of the amity which existed be-
fore the strike.
When the strike was declared off, the
matter of the compensation OF en-
ployes of the barn was left for future
adjudication. Last week a revised
schedule of wages granting an in
crease in every department was pre-
pared by Master Mechanic Thomas ].
Mullin and submitted by General Man
ager Frank Silliman, jr., to the union.
1t was passed upon ut a meeting held
yesterday morning at Carpenters hall,
wyoming avenue, at which all the
employees We're present and, after o
discussion which lasted from o'clock
till after 8, it was decided to reject the
offer and present an alternative sched-
ule for the company's approval.
NINETY OF THEM.
The barn men are ninety in number
and the majority OF them are in the
mechanical and engineering depart
ment, in which the highest rate OF
wages is paid. The rejected schedule
is as follows:

PAPA COMMITTED
TO COUNTY JAIL
He Is Charged with the Killing Of
Harry Davis in the Hotel Dewey
on Friday Night.

Barnato Papa was given a hearing
before Mayor Moir Saturday afternoon,
charged with the murder of Harry
Davis, in the Dewey hotel, Friday
night. Several witnesses were heard,
but none could testify to having seen
the razor in the hands Of the Italian
barber.
Bartender Frank Reilly, of the
Dewey, testified that he saw Papa
throw his left arm around Davis neck
and make lunge with his right but
did not see the razor Harry Mat
thews and Henry Hess corroborated
this testimony.
Harvey Thurman was passing the
hotel when Papa made his exit. He
saw Papa throw something into the
street. Investigation showed that that
Something was a blood stained razor.
Papa was committed to the county
jail to await trial on the charge of
murder. Papa's interests at the hear
ing were looked after by Attorney II.
L. Taylor.
Papa persists that he is innocent OF
the crime. He admits that he was
fighting but will not acknowledge
drawing the razor upon Davis.
Arthur Davis, Of 400 New street, with
whom Papa was fighting when Davis
interferred, was fined 50 for being
drunk, but the fine was RENTED.
Coroner Roberts will conduct an In
quest at s o'clock this evening in the
arbitration room of the court house.
The Tribune has been asked to request
all witnesses to be present at that
time. The Tribune has also been re-

of the eye-witnesses to the murder is
not the son of the baker by that name.

CARPENTERS STRIKE
MAY BE ADJUSTED
It Is Thought That Compromise
Will Be Effected Before the End
of the Present Week.

Gratifying progress has already been
made towards effecting an amicable
settlement of the carpenters strike,
which has been on since June /, 1900.
As told previously in The Tribune,
tho local officers of the Carpenters
union, acting with National Organizer
Fred Dilcher of the United Mine
Workers, made preliminary arrange
ments for conferences with influential
members of the Builders exchange,
looking to a compromise ARRANGEMENT
that would result in the calling off of
the strike.
A. c. Cattermull. of Chicago, q
member of the national executive
committee Of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners. who came on last
Thursday to further the negotiations,
has been industriously at work ever
since, and now the announcement is
made that before the present week is
over the chances are the strike will be
at an end.
An informal conference is to be held
today or tomorrow, at which formal
conference will likely be arranged be-
tween duly accredited committees rep
resenting the builders and the strik-
ers. Both sides evince a desire to ef-
feet settlement, and it is thought
that when they get together and
thresh out the matters at issue that
an amicable adjustment will be ar
rived at.
No small amount of building opera
tions are being held up by reason of
the unwillingness Of the prospective
builders to give the work to a nom
union contractor and thereby incur the
unfriendliness of the union men: or, on
the other hand, to give it to q union
contractor and offend the builders ex-
change, in which nearly all the larger
and more influential contractors are
members. This fact will have much to
do in encouraging concessions from
both sides.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
Thieves Made Rich Haul at Gould's
Barn, but Didn't Enjoy It Long.

Unknown thieves gained access by a
window to the barn of \. X. Gould &
Sons, situated at the rear OF 4l2 Clay
avenue, Saturday morning between the
hours of 9 and IL and secured rich
haul. A valuable bay horse hitched
to a bicycle tired run-about, three
blankets, a set OF harness, pair OF
clippers and two fly nets were taken.
The value Of the outfit is estimated at
5000.
At o'clock Saturday the police were
notified Of the theft and Detective Moir
and Mounted officer Bloch put on the
case. At 40 Officer Bloch had traced
the outfit to South Scranton. where
he found the horse and carriage, with
its contents intact, standing alone in
the road at the foot of the mountain.
The identity or whereabouts of the
thieves is still unknown.

Sir: The efficiency Of our police dearnent
was fully demonstrated yesterday when at
o'clock in the afternoon we reported the theft of

ceeded in recovering the entire outfit and re-
turning 1t to us at 4,S0 o'clock the same after

We make this explanation believing as We do

he will be taken In. The other has
not showed up for work since the
strike and the men believe he will not
attempt to work.
The case of former Dispatcher
Charles Powell and that of conduc-
tor who was discharged short time
before the strike, were also discussed,
but the union came to the conclusion
that it was not warranted in interfer-
ing in either instance.
