NO FEAR OF DEATH
ECCENTRIC AoNosTlc DIES AS
HE HAD LIVED.
Remarkable Document Prepared BY
Himself, Read at the Funeral Of
A. D. Scarf Of Leadville, Colo
Some Beautiful Thoughts.

The funeral of the late A. d. Scarf,
the eccentric agnostlc who has gain
ed considerable notoriety here
abouts, took place on Wednesday
under the auspices of the local Grand
Army post, says a correspondent at
Ieadville, Colo. Mr.. Scarf, who was
one of the pioneers of the Leadville
district made a special request that
no religious exercises be held at his
funeral, but he himself prepared and
had read remarkable address touch
ing on his own peculiar religious be-
lief. In 1t he said:
81 have long been convinced that
all religions are of human origin and
!, frauds that only gain credence
through ignorance and superstition
may say that a flute Is
an instrument of material organi2a-
ton. Its capacity for music or its
tone is it's soul, and though its tone
and its capacity for music ceases
when the material flute is destroyed,
still the effect of that music, which
1t discoursed while the instrument
was in existence, still goes on Great
ing, forming and molding thoughts,
feelings and actions in those who
have heard 1t. And so on forever
every act OF our lives, every word we
speak, every thought we think has It's
unending influence in the endless
chain of cause and effect that binds
and governs the universe.
Among other thoughts contained in
Mr.. Searl's address were these kindly
utterances:
$50 the great sea of human thought
and emotion has been moved by our
acts, thought or words and can never
again be exactly what it would have
been without our influence that we
exert in the world in the effect that
we produce in persons and things
about us, and thus the great mass oil
humanity will be happy or miserable
in the future, according as ouI
thoughts and deeds have been good
or bad.
.'Friends and loved ones pass away
but they leave their spirits with us
in the memory of what they were
and in the influence they have shet
around them. The little child ina
has not learned to lisp its mothers
name dies in its budding babyhood
but leaves behind in the mother
heart a sacred memory that vii
shape her destiny and purify her char
acfsr. Nature has imbued In all OF
ganized beings love Of life. Wer

UGLY FEELING PREVAILS.

Lebanon, Pa, Sept 24.-An ugly feel ing prevails here this morning. The soldiers sent here last night are on duty and have pitched their tents, apparent .ly for long stay. No move has been made to send the colored iron workers away, as the management of the American Iron and Steel Go is said to have promised Mayor Hess yesterday.
 In the darkness of early morning battle between the mob and the men inside the mill took place and several were shot none fatally. The mob fired from a corn field just beyond the works. The men inside the works as sembled in force and returned the fire The soldiers were summoned and raid ed the corn field, arresting thirty of the mob, a large number of whom, it is said, were armed. Other arrests were made later and soldiers patrolled the streets, sending home every one who loitered and arresting those who stayed and refused to keep moving. Few peo- pie went to bed, and firing was heard from the vicinity of the mills all night. This morning the situation is more quiet.

All washfnrton Surprised.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The ill., ness of President Roosevelt and the consequent abandonment of his west ern trip came as total surprise to ev- erybody in Washington. Secretaries Moody and Wilson both had planned to join the president this week and ac- company him for time. Now, how ever, that the president is returning to Washington Mir. Moody will postpone his visit west until the time for his ad- dress before the Marquette club of Chicago, which engagement he will keep. An official report of the presi- dents condition came to the navy de partment from Dr. George A. Lung, the surgeon who was detailed to ac- company the chief executive on his trips. It was addressed to Rear Ad- miral P. NJ. Rixey, chief of the bureau of medicine and surgery, and in his ab- sence from the city it's text was not made public. Dr. John F. Uric, the as- sistant chief of the bureau, and who for a time was detailed to act as phy- sician to the Roosevelt family, took the report to Secretary Moody. 1t was very much in accord with the state ment issued by Secretary Cortelyou from Indianapolis. From the informa- ton at hand Dr. Uric is of opinion that the president will be all right in very short time Such wounds as that de- scribed are apt to be more painful than serious The doctor thought from his present information that rest of a week or so would cause the wound to heal nicely and the cause of the dis turbance to disappear.

Horse Took Fright on Vine Street,
 Throwing MT Irion Out
 Contractor A. A. Irion met with a serious mishap this forenoon, and he will be laid up for some days in conse- quence, it is thought. He was driving up Cherry street when his horse took fright near Vine street and away it went toward North Main street. On passing the clock factory the wagon collided with a stone and MT Irion was thrown in the air. He alightSd on the right side of his head. For some time he was unconscious. He sustained severe gash over the right eye, his face was scratched, his clothes torn and the thumb of his right hand was said >to be broken. The condition ne was in gave the impression that he was more seriously hurt. He was taken to his home. On turning the corner of Cherry street the wagon was upset and con- siderably broken. This somewhat i'm peded the horse in it's wild course and Officer Hickey had caught it before it got many steps further.

COMBINATION ABANDONED.
Administration Attitude Toward the
 Trusts Said to Be the Reason.

Administration Attitude Toward the Trusts Said to Be the Reason. Chicago, Sept 24.-The combination of the great packing houses of the country which has been under consid-
 eration and in process of actual forma- ton for the last six months has been abandoned, at least for the present, says the Tribune. The decision not to complete the combination is due in a large degree to the attitude of the na- tiona1 administration toward the trusts as outlined by President Roose- welt in his recent speeches, and to the possibility that in the event of con- solidation congress might remove the tariff on cattle.
 It was learned last night that final meeEng of the heads of the firms known as the "Big Four'' packing houses in Chicago had been held, at which it was, agreed to end all negoti- ations at once. This was followed by an order issued from the office of Swift 6 Go that. the firms employees should immediately discontinue the in ventory of property and stock which had been ordered and started for the purpose of tabulating report of the financial condition of the company which was to have been used as a ba- sis of the revision of shares in the com bine.

 Keep Order.
MEN WERE LEFT FOR DEAD

Non- Unioners Who Were Badly Beatea
 While Returning from Mine No 2--
 Troops Will Probably Be Sent to
 Luzerne County To-day if the Scenes
 of Disorder Continue.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 24.-A reign of terror existed in this section or the strike region last night and early this morning. Sheriff Jacobs and his depu7 ties were powerless to preserve order, although every attempt was made to- do so. No sooner was one outbreak suppressed than another broke out
 At Nanticoke the street cars vera iboarded by the mob in search of non- union men coming from or going to work A sheriff's posse and crowd of strikers exchanged shots at Wanar mic after the latter had derailed a. train of coal cars. At Plymouth number of non-union men on their way home from No 2 mine were held up and beaten so badly that they were left on the roadway for dead.
 Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning a demand for more deputies was re- ceived from no less than ten places in Luzerne county. Those applying for aid said that if help was not sent at once there would be loss of property and possible bloodshed. Sheriff Ja- cobs, after consultation with his at torney, decided to take no more chances, but to appeal to the governor at once. Just before Z o'clock this morning the sherilf telegraphed Gov ernor Stone stelling him the situation in the Wyoming region was beyond hlS control and that in order to protect life and property troops would have to be- sent here immediately. The governors secretary replied that the matter would be laid before the former at once.
 At Exeter this morning mob of 800 gathered in the vicinity of wash- cry and prevented the employees from going to work. A deputy sheriff named Burke was knocked won by stones and severely injured.
 Large crowds of men and boys are gathered around the washeries and mines in operation and the situation is very threatening.
 Harrisburg, Pa, Sept 24. Troops will be sent 10 Luzerne county before night if rioting in that locality does not cease. Governor Stone and Ad- jutant- General Stewart were in con-
  barre by telephone at 3 o'clock this morning The sheriff, early this morn- ing, telegraphed the governor that it was absolutely impossible for him to suppress rioting and disorder, and that if bloodshed was to be prevented the governor would have to send troops.
 No demand has since been received from the sheriff and the state auth0ri- ties are hopeful that 1t will mOt be necessary to immediately order out ad- ditional troops
 The Ninth regiment, whose head. quarters are at Wilkesbare, is. how ever, kept under waiting orders.
 The governors advices from Leba- non this morning are that the situation

Officer Mclean is Acquiring q Reputa-
 tion for Dispatching Canines.
 Patrolman Joseph Mclean has the record among the policemen for shoot ing the most mad dogs within the shortest time. He is also acquiring a reputation as a crack shooter. To- day he shot the third mad dog within two months. This morning a man who appeared rather excited called up- on Officer Mclean, whose beat covers the east end at present, and asked him to shoot a dog which belonged to Mrs James Welch of William street which was acting queerly. It was in the hallway of his house on William street and was trying to get into his tene- ment His wife and children were terrified. Officer Mclean accompan- jed the man to his home on William street. One glance at the dog con- vinced him that the animal was mad. He quickly lodged two bullets from his revolver in the dogs brain and the dog is now enjoying a long sleep. About six weeks ago Officer Mclean shot a mad dog which was running wildly along East Main street near the cen- ter and about two weeks ago he put an end to q dogs existence. on Scoviu street.

BERLIN Sept. A. - The German matchmaking business, in which about $Sy750,000 of capital is invested, has been brought within measurable dis tance of ruin by the output of the American Diamond Match company's new factories near Mannheim.

TO RECOVER PROPERTY.
Loss Would Be Serious Event for MT
 Mooney.

F < A .
 Patrick Mooney of Dublin street, who some time ago deded his property, consisting of three honses, to his. chill dren, on condition that they withdraw their petition for a conservator over him, has set the machinery of the law in motion to recover possession of all or part of the property. Besides with drawing their petition for a conserva- tor; the children were also to maintain him, and furthermore take all due in- terest in the property. It seems, at least he says, they did not do this, and in consequence proceedings for fore closure of the mortgage on the proper ty have been instituted, but not gwne so far that they cannot be withdrawn. The loss of any of the property would be a serious event for MT Mooney. He does not believe the children can save 1t, but has all conhdence in himself in that respect.

ABOUT LAYING SIDEWALKS.
Should Public Pay Something for the
 Use They Make of Them?

Use They Make of. Them?
 The action of the board of public works in taking steps to bring about change in the existing law with refer ence to the laying and maintaining of sidewalks is something which should receive the attention of every citizen of Waterbury. Under the present plan the entire cost is borne by abuttfng property owners and inasmuch as this has been looked upon from the Degin- ming as manifestly unfair, the results have been far from satisfactory, as peo- pie must have noticed long ago It seems to De generally believed that the public should contribute something to- ward tile sidewalks besides wear and tear and if the board of aldermen can be madeto see the situation in the same light as the board of public works there is no reason why there should be any toruble in having the present law re- pealed by the legislature and one passed which will meet the conditions that everybody is railing at, bad walks in all parts of the town. Under the proposed plan if there is dangerous walk those who feel aggT4eved will be in a position to find fault with the own CT, the city of Waterbury, while as things are at the present time the man who lives in the house abuttTnq the source of complaint is the one aimed at, although he is not the owner of the walk. The sidewalks belong to the public, and the public uses them and the public should pay something to- wards keeping them in proper condition for use at all seasons.
