were conducted over the remains of
Mrs. John Fon, of Penn avenue, and
her son. Joseph, who was killed by "a
train while on his way to this city from
Wilkes Barre in response to telegram
announcing his mothers death.
The two caskets We're lall side by
side in the aisle and seated near them
were the sorrowing father and the chill
dren of the dead woman whose grief at
the death of the mother had been ac-
centuated by the sudden and uneX-
pected death of the son.
\ requiem mass was celebrated by
Rev. j. j. Griffin, the church being
nearly filled with sympathizing friends.
After the services the remains We're
taken to the cathedral cemetery where
they We're inferred side by side in two
graves.
The pall-bearers for Mrs. Foin We're
as follows: John Woodhouse James
Rush, j. j. Hawley, Peter Regan, Will

DRIVERS QUIT WORK.
Hampton Mine Had to Shut Down
Yesterday Because They Do Not
Like New Regulations.

| About thirty-five of the drivers em-
ployed in the Hampton mine quit work
yesterday morning, and in consequence
| the remaining two hundred and ninety
| mine employees were forced into idle
| ness.
| The drivers object to the system Of
| registering their presence in the mine,
| which was put in force by the COM
| pany on February /. y state law re-
| quires miners and laborers to register,
| through Il peg system used, when they
| enter and leave the mine, in order to
| insure their safety in case of danger,
and in order that they may be speedily
reached.
This system of registering has also
been put in force in the various mines
| operated by the company to include all
| the employees of the mine. TO this the
| drivers object, and quit work, necessi-
tatng the suspension of operations.
The system is this: A board is in
place at the foot of the shaft and when
the workmen enter the mine for their
| days work, each one is required to
place Il peg in Il hole opposite his num-
| Der. Each mans presence is thus
| known to the foreman in charge.
When they leave the mine, they take
the peg out of the board, showing that
they are out of the workings. In this
manner every man can readily be
reached if there is any danger.
The driver boys felt that this system
was an infringement on their personal
| liberties and the result was that they
| quit work. What the outcome will be
! is problematical, but it is expected the
| more conservative men will demon
| strate the abSurdness of their stand to
the boys, and that they will soon re-
| turn to work.
Instead of there being $50 men on
strike, as stated in an afternoon paper,
there are but thirty-five drivers, the
others being forced into idleness by the
stand the drivers have taken. There
are 325 men and boys employed in the
Hampton mine Nothing has vet been
| done in the way of holding n confer

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL RECITAL.
1t Was the Thirty-eighth in the
Conservatory's Series.

The Conservatory of Music has given
many successful recltals and the one
given last evening in Guernsey hall cer-
tainly ranks with the most successful
This was the thirty-eighth In the Con-
servatory's series. The popularity of
these recitals was again shown by an
audience which completely filled the
hall and corridors, and many persons
were turned away.
The programme published in the pa
pers announced that the usual purely
pianoforte recital would be varied by
the singing of Master David Perkins,
of Wilkes Barre, but on account of ILL
ness he was not present
When the programme was announced
to begin eight lads and young men
filed up to the four pianos and pro-
by Maylath. The participants were
James Beard, jr., Oren Christian, Au-
gust Hoffman, Floyd Hunter, of Jer-
myn; Fred Kossman, William Mckee,
Archie Sake, and Edwin Sweet. In
panoforte study the female sex is
largely in the majority, and the sight
of so many young men representatives
of the large number of youths now
in pianoforte playing, was decidedly
novel. The closing number. a move-
ment from Diabelli's Sonatina, opus
80. was played in the same way by
eight young ladies; the Misses Bedford,
Doty, Hessler, Kingsbury, .Kaufhold,
Law, Schlager and Paterson.
Gwillym James, of Hyde Park, and
James Beard, ir., of Scranton, two
young lads, appeared for the first time
in solo numbers. Anna Wahl, "a tall
ented little girl, played four selec-
tions in excellent style. Stella Fahey,
Anna Hand, Eva Marsh and Anna
Speicher, played in concert at four
pianos two exceedingly pretty pieces
by Webb and Jadassohn. Other solo
numbers We're played by the Misses
May Bower, Flora Kaufhold. Norma
Johns, of Taylor; Geneveve Ehrgood,
of Dunmore; Edith Doty, of South
Scranton; Bertha Kingsbury, of Har-
risburg: Ethel Watkins, Of Hyde Park,
and Grace Gerlock, of Scranton.
Without exception every selection
was extremely we'll played, and gave
great credit to the Conservatory train
ing. The last named gave the most
ambitious number on the programme,
"a Norwegian Bridal Procession Pass
ing By" by Grieg, and gave evidence
in technique, phrasing and expression
of well-developed musical tenn
permanent.
The extreme thoroughness of the
Conservatory training was also shown
in the playing of four young girls,
Maud Morse, Grace Underwood, Emily
Wilcox and Margaret Zerbe, in a selec-
tion from memory, in the three major
keys asked for by the audience, ID ma
jor, p major and C sharp major.

WILL NOT BE NUMBERED.
County Commissioners So Decide Re.
garding the Ballots.

At the last election the people of the
state. gave final acquiescence in the
proposition that the numbering of bal
lots should be done away with. No
state election has occurred since then,
and as a consequence the matter of
putting this law into effect falls to the
county commissioners.
The commissioners, here and in some
other places. We're diflident about in
augurating this innovation, and the at
torney general was appealed to. He
declared that it was matter dlscre-
tionary with the commissioners. be-
cause they alone have authority to pre-
pare the ballots for local elections.
The Lackawanna commissioners We're
hesitating as to whether or not they
should number the ballots until, yes
terday, when word came that the
Philadelphia county commissioners had
taken the matter to court, and that it
was decided the commissioners should
put the new law into effect. Yesterday
the Lackawanna commissioners gave
orders to the printers to not number
the ballots,

WILL BE AT

MoULDERs AT THE SCRANTON
STOVE WORKS QUIT.
They Object to the Number of APP
prentices at Work--superintendent
Said He Was Compelled to Put the
Apprentices to Work Because He
Was Not Able to Get a Sufficient
Number Of Competent Moulders to
Do the Work--The Trouble Is Now
Believed to Be Over.

About seventy moulders employed by
the Scranton Stove Works went out on
a sort of n strike on Wednesday and
refrained from working yesterday but
the company officials have received Of
hcial assurances that they will all
return today.
The company put three new appren-
tices at work on Wednesday, having
tailed in an effort to secure competent
moulders after having advertised for
some time in trade journals. 1t was
stated last night that there is a short
age of thirty-fve men at the plant and
that the apprentices were put on to
help fll up this quota.
Some of the men became dissatisfied
because the apprentices We're put at
work and succeeded in spreading this
dissatisfaction until all the moulders
decided to quit work. The ostensible
plea that it was Lincoln's birthday, Il
legal holiday. was advanced as rea-
men picked up their traps and filed
out.
They did not return to work yester-
day morning, but later in the day a
committee waited upon the superinten-
tieHl anu liIlolllltu lillll llltI Tie ileil
would all return today.
The difference arising because of the
employment of the extra apprentices
will be referred by the local union up
to the national officers who will lay it
before II Special joint committee COM
prising representatives of the stove
workers organization and the stove
manufacturers association especially
appointed to settle all disputes arising
between individual employers and their
employees. The officials Of the COM
pany maintain that under the agree
ment entered into between the two Or
ganizatons they have the right to en-
gage additional apprentices if unable
to secure capable worlimen.
The relations existing between the
officials of the Scranton Stove conf
pany and its employees have always
been extremely cordial and this is the
first ripple that has appeared on the
surface in a long time. The company
officials believe that it is only a ripple
and that it will not disturb in the least
the pleasant relations now existing.
The company shares its profits with
its employees and quite recently dis
tributed four per cent. of the net earn
ings for the year 1900 among all the
workmen. A testimonial expressing
the good will of the employees was
presented the next day to the officials.

School Board Rooms.

The total cost of painting and car
peting the two rooms in the municipal
building occupied by the board of con-

SHIFTS ARE CHANGED.
Police Sergeants Now Work Under Q
New Schedule.

A change has been made in the shifts
worker by the desk sergeants on duty
at city hall. Hereafter they come on
duty at the same time as the three
platoons of men doing patrol duty.
Now the shifts are divided as follows:
z a. m. to p. M; p. m. to II p. m,
and II p. IN. to Z a. m.
This leaves one man in charge at the
the time the banks open and close,
thus permitting him to KEEP record of
reports made over the burglar alarm
system, which the police now have
charge of.
