Special officers employed by the
Scranton Railway company yesterday
| afternoon forcibly prevented the men
| employed by Contractor NJ. II. Dale,
| who Is laying the Court street, Diamond
avenue and Providence road pave, from
digging between the company's tracks
on the last named thoroughfare.
The company objects to the proposed
plan for laying the pave on Providence
road for several reasons which were
raised to Director of Public Works
Roche yesterday morning. II was de-
cided by both sides to declare a truce
until tomorrow, the questions at issue
to be referred in the meantime to City
Solicitor Watson for an opinion. 1t
appears that this truce was violated
by Contractor Dale's men who were ac-
cordingly forcibly prevented from in
terfering with the company's property.
The ordinance providing for the lay
ing of the pave provides that the COM
pany shall be assessed for the paving
done between its rails The company
officials contend that such an assess
ment is illegal and that they should
be permitted to have the paving be-
tween tHt IdllS uOllt DN private tDI-
tracts. This latter method was the one
generally adopted until the South Main
avenue paving ordinance was passed
nearly year ago.
Another objection raised by the conf
pany is to the method which it Is pro-
posed to adopt in laying the concrete.
The company wants one track left open
all the time but Chief Engineer Phillips
says this would leave a longitudinal
crack in the concrete which Is Il very
undesirable thing. He proposes that a
portion of the street from curb to curb
be done at one time. This would of
course necessitate changing cars and
the company officials persist in saying
that they will not agree to this.
1t is extremely likely that City Soci-
citor Watson's opinion will not suit
the company and that the matter will
have to be threshed out in court.

Widely varying claims were anoat,
| again, yesterday, regarding gains and
losses to the working forces at the col
lieries.
The Temple Iron company announced
that enough men had been secured at
the big Mt Lookout colliery in Wyo-
ming to make start and that oper-
ations would be resumed there in a day
or two. The strikers had no knowledge
of this and it was not disputed.
The Delaware and Hudson company
claimed that, yesterday, for the first
time in ten days, there was an appreci-
able addition to it's forces and that to-
day would witness the return of a good
ly number of its old employees. This
was also undsputed by the strikers.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company made the statement
that it's output on Monday was larger
than that of any day last month, and
that from the reports then in at the
central office yesterdays output would
exceed that of Monday.
At mine workers headquarters 1t was
given out that sixteen men quit at the
Woodward colliery, in Kingston. on
Monday and We're received into the
Woodward local yesterday morning at
special meeting. Superintendent Phil
lips, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, said this story was
absolutely untrue; that there was not
only no loss of sixteen men at the
Woodward but, on the contrary, gain
of ten

II was given out without equivOcation
that with the protection that the whole
guard can afford there are hundreds of
men who will Immediately go back TO
work, and that it will not be long be-
fore general resumption takes place.
The main question now being asked
is whether or not President Mitchell
Will call convention to consider the
Roosevelt proposition. If he calls such
convention, it is thought the vote
Will be to accept the proposition. If he
refuses TO call it, there is danger, it
is quite generally believed by onlook-
ers, and emphatlcally asserted by the
company representatives, that certain

fusal as an excuse to make break.

who were about the local headquarters rs
yesterday, refused to discuss the possi-
blllty of convention being called to
vote on the Roosevelt proposition, be-
cause the national and district officers
are now considering it, and they alone
are the ones to pass upon it. From the
trend of conversation among the local
oiflcers however, it is Il fair inference
lhat they do not expect "a convention
will be called.
Meetings are being arranged by the
locals for today, in obedience TO Presi-
dent Mitchelrs suggestion, to pass
resolutions declaring that the miners
are not refraining from going back TO
work because of fear of violence as

TO ADVERTISE IN NEWSPAPERS.


 The business men of Scottdale, Penn. have formed an association against all fake advertising. Hereafter they will place their advertising money into the daily and weekly newspapers. Unani- mously they have indorsed the news papers as being the best medium of advertising and the only one that proves satisfactory at all times.
 Some asserted in the meeting held to form the association that they have spent $100 to $500 a year in schemes which were wholly without any return as advertising. A meeting was held at which George B. Shupe was chair man and c. H. Poonaugh secretary It was agreed unanimously that the preliminary agreement, that of pledging the signers not to take any part in any advertising scheme not considered le- gitimate by committee to be selected by the subscribers to the paper, should be the basis of the association A com. mittee consisting of Charles A Colborn, F. B. Litzell and ]. I. Murphy, was in- structed to prepare a list of the objec- tionable advertising schemes and pre- sent these at the next meeting. A resolution was passed that any merchant violating the contract be sub- ject to a fine. which was amended that all merchants take an oath that they will not violate the contract against taking part in the objectionable adver- Using ng-Philadelphia Press.

COULDN'T BLUFF NAT.

Nat Goodwin tells the following poker story and thereby proves that he is not so .easy'' as some persons imagine:
 T was in certain club in a cer- tain city where there was a poker game in which I acted solely the part of a spectator. The players were well known millionaires, and the deal- CT anted $500, the limit being $2,500. It gave me gout to just look the game over. None of them ta-- about money or anything so sordid. One would say to his opponent, q raise you a yellow check, and the other would reply, I raise you back a val ler.'
 ''The golden hued ivory disks this described represented $2,500 apiece, and they were tossed about just as though the players were in a ten cent limit party.
 After I had looked on for an hour or so became so dazed that l couldn't stand it any longer, and l said to one of the gentlemen:
 ''I think you're all in with one an other for the sole purpose of string ing me into the belief that this is on the level. When this thing comes to a finish, I'll bet it turns out to be one of those per cent games where you ostensibly bet $10O, but subsequently pay a five dollar note.'"

Showing That Boys Should Not Tell

Showing That Boys Should Not Tell
 All They Hear.
 A dear little boy whose winter home is in the Oranges in New Jersey, and whose summer home is at Glen Summit, Pa, but whose identity shall not be further disclosed, attended a dame school last winter and, on an oc- casion when visitors were an nounced, took part in the ex- ercises in their honor. The eXer- cises comprised recitations by the brighter children, and among them this dear little boy was called on. He recited in perfectly good faith the fol lowing, which he had learned or caught from an induigent nurse with semi-poetical instinct:
 Jane ate cake and Jane ate jelly, Jane went to bed with pain in her Now don't get excited, don't be misled, For what Jane had was a pain in her
 head.
 When the youngster told of this to his entirely surprised and somewhat shocked parents they asked him:
 What did the teacher say?o
 He repIied: ''She said nothing. She just turned around and looked out of the window, but the scholars and the visitors wanted me to say it again. - Brooklyn Eagle.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

Only Few People, Comparatively,
 Practice Cruelty.
 One of the highest an6 noblest ten dencies of modern civilization is ev- idenced by its pleadings for kindness to the dumb animals which Providence created for the pleasure. the profit, and the protection of man.
 Be it said to the honor of our in- stincts, our education. and our country, the instances of wantom cruelty to anl- mals, such as arise from the dark pas i sions of a diabolical mind, or the lack of sympathy of a coarse grained, sor- 1 did nature, are comparatively rare. lYet there exists a large class of cases of cruelty to animals that arises from ignorance of the effect of certain modes -0f treatment, and an underestimation 5Df the degree of sensibility of the ami <mal
 However, the object of the Humane Society is the same in both cases, i e.. the prevention of cruelty, no matter what form it takes, or what. it's origin. But the remedy is different In the one case, the society must rescue the animal and punish the offender; n the tLHtE. pfOceSS OI euucdlfO1 uluSL De systematically followed.

Petition the state and national legislatures for the enactment of salutary laws to further the good purpose.
 In short. let it be the aim of the So- ciety to create a strong public sen- ffiment against all forms of maltreat- Jment of animals. and a new era will gradually dawn for the long-suffering ill-requited work animal, the faithful personal protector. the dog, and all the various creatures that, minister to the amusement of mankind
