owing to the lateness of the hour the
calling out OF the engineers and pump
men at the collieries was laid over until
today and a delegate stated that this
will probably be left to the discretion
OF Mr.. Mitchell and three district presi-
dents.
John c. Haddock, president of the Ply
mouth Coal company. which operates
three independent collieriss and employs
over 1000 men, had talk with President
Mitchell
Neither would say anything regarding
the conference Mr.. Haddock came here.
ii is said, for the purpose of asking the
mine workers not To withdraw the en-
gineers firemen and pump runners from
the companys coal collieries as the firm
does not want disaster in its mines dur
ing the present suspension of work.
Mr.. Haddock. Il Is understood, IS dis
posed TO grant some of the demands of
the men. but his company's hands are
tied because independent operators cannot
do anything without the sanction of the
coal carrying roads. Mr.. Haddock ad-
vocates n compromise.
Today's session, besides taking up the
engineers and pumpmen question, will
map out a plan OF campaign and decide
upon headquarters during the strike.
President Mitchell favors Wilkesbarre,
but as HaZleton is the more central loca-
tion the latter city may be finally de-
cided upon.
The coal companies are making strenu-
Gus efforts TO pay off the men soon as
possible. and are making the preparations
for a protracted siege

ed. Suspensions of railroad employees,
operators and station hands are being
made wherever they can be dispensed
with.
Many industries in the region, includ-
ing the light plants, have but a small
supply of coal on hand, and they will
have to close down for want of fuel.
The decision has created CONSERVATION
throughout the region, and the streets
are crowded, everybody discussing the
situation.
One of the delegates summed up the
situation in this wise: well, ve've made
a big jump, and God only knows where
We will land"

Wednesday. and it was plain that unless
some concessions were granted strike
order would be the result.
The strike supporters were everywhere
in evidence I'm their campaign TO win over
the wayering delegates.
One of them said: I'VE must work out
our own salvation. 1t is strike now or
never We have delayed IL long enough
and we cannot now turn back"
The committee on credentials made its
final report at the morning session, after
which the question OF the hour was in

TRIED IN VAIN TO ESCAPE

New York. May l6,+-Noah NJ. Palmer, "A
wealthy candy manufacturer of Williams
burg. yesterday cleverly trapped two
alleged swindlers for whom the police
have been searching several weeks
When the men saw they were caught
they attempted 20 attack their captor. but
several of Mr.. Palmer's employees held
them until the arrival of the police.
At the police station the men said they
were John Lynch. OF 2O7 Hudson avenue
and Frederick Redmond OF 220 York
street, Brooklyn.

lishment when the police arrived. lashed

1t is alleged that the trio, who always
travelled around with a horse and buggy
have swinded nearly every business man

selves as a committee Of the Freight
Handlers union and asking for financial
aid.
A book found In the possession of the
accused men contained the names of
nearly fve hundred residents of VIII

QUESTIONS WERE POINTED.
Lynch and Redmond visited the building
occupied by Mr.. Palmer. at North Twelfth
street and Bedford avenue, and the candy
manufactures asked them to accompany
him to his private office.
Once inside the room Mr.. Palmer began
TO question the men. His inquiries proved
nettlesome 10 the visitors and they made
a hurried attempt to leave.
Mr.. Palmer. however. by pressing
spring on his desk caused the door 10
shoot forward, nearly taking a piece off
Redmonds nose.
Both men then rushed toward Mr. Pal
mer TO attack him. but I'm an instant
dozen of his employees were in the room
and the visitors were overpowered.
Two policemen were summoned and the
prisoners given in their charge. On being
taken out of the building Lynch, who no.
ticed that the carriage was nowhere in
sight. remarked To his companions well
Charlie has got away all right"
At the police station Mr. Palmer
charged the prisoners with obtaining
money under false pretences.

HARBoR FACILITIES

Upon recommendation of the finance
committee the resolution directing the
committee on harbor To report plan and
the estimated cost of constructing muni-
cipal docks, etc, was indefinitely post
poned and n substitute resolution passed
The substitute simply provided that
there should be no expense attached to
the preparation of such report
FOR FOURTH OF JULY.
When the common council resolution
calling for an appropriation OF $500 TO
fittingly observe the Fourth Of July was
read by City Clerk Clarke, Alderman
Cooke was quickly on his feet and he
moved that the matter be referred to a
committee on conference.
To this procedure Alderman Gushing
demurred while Alderman Reynolds
called attention once again to tho de-
pleted condition OF the city's treasury.
But President Freeman was. as he al
ways is. equal TO the occasion and he
decried the poverty tale rung in the ears
OF the city council continuously.
"rhose who honor us with office
should be afforded with pleasure he ad-
ded "The taxpayers deserve every at
tention and. again, from patriotic as
we'll as financial standpoint, the little
men and women of the future are worthy
OF consideration.
That was enough The common coun-
ell resolution was concurred in appro-
priating $500 by vote or I to 2, the
votes i'm the negative being recorded
against Aldermen Cooke and Reynolds.
BAND CONCERTS ASSURED
After the fate Of the. preceding reso-
luton there was little argument upon or
difficulty I'm passing the resolution to ap-
propriate $1,000 for Dnnd concerts at
Roger Williams Park.
when this subject was brought up AL
derman Cooke said that he thought IL a
much more sensible resolution than the
! one rela ting 10 the ctscDration OF the
Fourth Of July. because such band con.
certs were very beneficial ana afforded
much greater enjoyment to larger
| number of people.
That was about all of the spcechmak-
ing on the measure. which was passed

no discussion on the matter. and IL was
promptly passed over the mayors veto
by an unanimous vote I'm the affirmative
and none I'm the negative, Alderman
Sheehan being absent on account OF an
important case In the supreme court.
THEY WANT MORE MONEY.
A communication was received from
the board OF canvassers and registration
stating that in consequence of the recent
special election In the Ninth ward and
other unanticipated expenses the appro-
priation would not be sufficient, and es-
timating that an additional appropria-
ton OF $1,000 would be needed.
The matter was referred 10 the finance
committee
To the petition of Thomas ID. Taylor
for permission to build a barn on Gano
street, there was some objection, from
those residing in that vicinity. including
Mrs. Costigan. whose legal representa-
tive appeared and said that the proposed
barn would be located within five feet OF
Mrs. Costgan's property. Mr.. Taylor Of
fered TO locate the barn 20 feet away
from Mrs. Costigan's property, but the
objectors would not agree to this con-
cession.
Alderman Cooke moved that the per-
mission be granted. provided that Mr..
Taylor located the barn on the northerly
side Of his lot and at a distance of not
less than % feet from the objector's lot,
and the board so voted.
Upon recommendation of the commit
tee on railroads, an ordinance allowing
the Union Railroad company to build
turnouts on Plainfied street and on Hart
ford avenue was passed and referred to
the common council.

The Spirit of Winter.

The Spirit of Winter is with us, making
it's presence known in many different
REPRESENTATIVES, by CHEEKY sunshine and
glistening SHOWS, and sometimes by driv-
ing winds and binding storms. To many
people it seems to take delight in MAX
ing bad things worse, for rheumatism
twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh
becomes more annoying, and the many
symptoms Of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not much poetry in
this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder
that more people don't get rid of these
ailments. The medicine that cures them
