ROUND THE REGION.

Scranton Municipal League and
Superintendent of Police Day managed
to get rid of some of the best-known
saloons of Scranton and the county as
tie result of their work before the
license court last week The court
handed down decision on Saturday
knocking out sixteen places in Scranton,
three in Olyphant, three in Dunmore,
Throop. Moosic, Old Forge and Winton,
six in Lackawanna township and one
each in Glenburn, South Arlington,
Taylor and Ransom. The protests were
based mainly on Sunday selling.
The hotel and saloon men of Pttston
and other places who were refused
licenses by the court have filed petit
tions asking for rehearing in their cases.
The petitions will be examined by the
full bench of four judges today and It is
expected that they will speedily decide
whether or not the rehearings will be
granted. In the cases OF the Pttston
hotel men it is said that Rev. J. j. h,
Fletcher will not oppose the granting OF
licenses If the dealers will agree to obey
the Sunday and other laws aud conduct
their places respectfully.
The Citizens Electric Illuminating
Company, of Pittston, has sent out a
notice to its many customers announc-
ing reduction IN the cost of lighting.
The company states that it is doing this
for the reason that business is increas-
ing. The reduction will take effect on
April 1. The price of incandescent
lighting current, by meter service. will
be reduced from 1919 cents to 10 cents
per 900 watts, with the same discounts
and rules governing as at present.
As the result of a conference between
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen

went into effect on March /.

Strike Talk Again.

Secretary George Hartlen, OF the
Ninth United Mine Workers district,
gave out a statement Saturday evening
relative to the possibilities Of a strike
being declared by the miners at their
convention on March IS, which is in
part as follows
1--WE are now fronting the last ditch,
aud In arriving at its brink we have OK
hausted our final resources tending to
bring about peaceable settlement of
grievances. We were turned down by
the operators recently, when we tried to
induce them to attend a joint confer
ence. Whether we are to receive an
other blow by the coal carrying com
panies refusing to grant reasonable de-
mands to the convention will soon be
known. None Of the miners leaders has
the least idea as to what the companies
will do. We think an increase in wages
for the men is by all means due them -
He says that to him 1t seems ncon-
ceivable that the operators will invite =
strike, but that If it comes it will be
greater than any heretofore known in
the state

Heroes of the Mines.

Two thrilling stories are related in the
upper end of the county in connection
with the floods in the mines last week.
AT the Heidelberg mine, at Avoca, the
buckets became blocked in the shaft,
and it was necessary for somebody to go
down and examine them. David j.
Davies volunteered for the perilouS task,
and tying a rope around his body he was
lowered $40 feet into the mine, repaired
the damage, and was then hoisted out
again.
Mine Foreman Alex Law and Nicho-
las Morgan entered No. IA shaft of the
Erie Company, to measure the depth of
the water. The engineer, forgetting the
water, allowed the carriage to descend to
the bottom OF the shaft, about twenty
feet under the water. Both men had
narrow escapes, and had they not been
albe to swim would have been drowned
They secured signal cord and were
hoisted out nearly overcome. The en-
gineer who made the mistake is prostra-
ted over it.

Piqe0n-F FanCierS Caught.

The pigeon ducket of Superintendent
L. II. Smith, of the d. S. & S. Railr )ad
at Drifton, was entered recently by two
young boys of that town who suffer
from the ailliction of pigeon-fanciers.
Not knowing of the many traps set by
the superintendent for the capture OF
persons who might enter the ducket,
the boys went in cautiously and by the
giving away of a trap-door they landed
in department from which there was
no escape, aud at the same time an
alarm was set ringing in the residence.
This brought the uperintendent to
the scene, who released the culprts,
only to turn them over to the guardians
of the law in that town.
The usual sentence in such cases has
since been pronounced-banishment
from Drifton.

Smallpox at White Haven.

A telephone message was received In
town this afternoon stating that small
poI has broken out among the men en-
gagged in repairing the destroyed bridges
at White Haven.
Residents Of White Haven were called
up by phone from tho Tribune office
and asked to verify or deny the rumor,
but this they refused to do. All who
we're asked apparently desired to avoid
giving the matter any more publicity
than possible.
AS far as can be learned 1t appears
that symptoms OF the disease made their
appearance on QUE Of the work mon yes
terday. 1t is claimed tho afflicted man
was returned to New York city this
morning. Previous to his going, how
ever, the case was diagnosed as small
pox by White Haven physicians.
There are several hundred men work
ing in and around White Haven. They
were gathered from the unemployed of
the large cities and are living in railroad
cars. II the afllction is what it is be-
lisved to be, surrounding towns will
have to guard themselves from those
who will likely desert the work, as the
germs Of the disease may already be
spread among the unfortunate mans
companions

Must Keep Closed Sunday.

The retail liquor dealers of Wilkes
barre are determined to make the mem
bers of their association respect the
liquor laws of the state. Their special
desire is to put a stop to the sale of
liquor on Sunday, which has been the
cause of most all of the agitation against
the granting of licenses. At largely
attended meeting of the Retail Liquor
Dealers Union on Friday afternoon the
following resolutions were adopted:
"Whereas, 1t has been brought to the
attention of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Union that some members of the or
ganization have been violating the
liquor laws by selling intoxicating
drinks on Sunday; and
Whereas, This is serious violation
of the laws Of this association and the
Brooks high license law of the state of
Pennsylvania; be it
Resolved, That all mem bers Of this
organization are hereby notified to
close their places of business on Sunday
in compliance with the laws and also
have their curtains drawn up, giving a
full view of the interior. Any violation
of the liquor laws by memb bers of this
association will be dealt with according
to the law. The names of all liquor
dealers in this city who do not draw
their curtains, giving a full view of the
interior, will be published in the press
by the association"

D. s. & S. MEN
IN A WRECK
Coal Train Crashes Into a
Valley Freight.
Foot of WeatherIy Hill the
Scene of a Costly Disaster.
Trainmen Escape With
out Injury.

At 10 minutes after 10 O'Clock on Sat
urday evening D. s. & S. Railroad
coal train, enroute for Perth Amboy,
crashed into a Lehgh Valley Railroad
freight train at Weatherly. The D. 5.
& S. engine telescoped the Lehigh Val
ley caboose and one freight car, became
deraied itself and with seventeen coal
cars was thrown down an emban kment
by the shock.
The D. s. & S. train consisted Of forty
loaded gondolas, hauled by engine No. O..
1t was in charge of Engineer James
Crawford, Fireman Fred Petit, Conduc-
tor Edward Brennan, Brakemen Frank
Mooney and Peter Farrell and Flagman
Casper Greby. All Of the crew reside in
Freeland, excepting the fireman, whose
home is in HaZleton.
When the train reached what Is
known as the head of the grade, between
the Lumber Yard and Weatherly, the
Jrainmen applied both the air and hand
brakes. The rails, however, were wet
and slippery, and the weight of the train
gave it a momentum which steadily in
creased its speed and it was soon travel
ing al a terrific rate.
When nearing Weathsrly Engineer
Crawford was startled by the waving OF
a red lantern on the track in front OF
him. AS everything had already been
done to lessen the speed of the train
without success, the engineer and crow
were unable to obey the signal to stop,
and they prepared themselves as best
they could for the impending crash.
The engineer, fireman, conductor and
flagman jumped from their posts, and a
moment later the train went tearing
through the rear end OF the Lehigh
Valley freight train which had left tho
Lumber Yard some time before.
Engine No. 9, so great was its speed,
won't through the Lohigh Valley cabooso
as though the latter was built of paper.
The freight car next to it met tho same
fate, and two others wero demolishs ed
before the obstruction brought the loco
motive to a stop.
The engine then toppled over the
bank, drawing down with it seven teen
d. S. & S. gondolas, all of which wore
broken beyond repair.
The fire from the locomotive next
lgnited the wreck and in a few minute,
the mass in the vicinity of the engine
was blazing furiously. Tho fire was
e1tinguished by the Weathery fire do
partment, otherwise the entire freight
tain would probably have been con-
sumed.
The loss to the d. s. e S. Company Is
estimated at not less than S2s 900. The
Valley Company's loss will also be
heavy, but will not reach the above
figure.
The officials OF both roads are prepar-
ing to investigate the wreck and place
the responsibility for the disaster.
The friends OF the members of the
crew are happy over the fact that tho
trainmeu escaped without injury.

the fact that in Paris the fashion is
steadily gaining favor of wearing Ell

ranged so as to only just cover the tip

REGICIDFS EXPLAINED.
Not Anarchists, but Degenerate Poor,
Says an EXPERT

That wide-awake Roman Journal L'Itdlie,
sent a repre- sentative the other day TO
Prof. S.rgi. chief Of the Archaeological
Institute III Rome, 10 ask him Why so many
Italians become regicides, tiolipg, OF
course, Caserio, Lucchoei, ALgioiiito, III esci
and Rubino. Here is the answer OF Prof.
Sergi:
Our emigrants 20 out in swarms that
become concentrated all the more hen
they find themselves isolated in a foreig n
country. But the uniort innate isolate d
ones soon drop down into he darkest
misery. You know how great the Il ndency
TO suicide is in northern countries. The
wretched Italian driven to those lands,
quickly feels that morbid influence and he
joils to IL the defects Of his own impul-
sive nature. While the man OF the north
in despair seeks an ofeC ure suit ide, tho
meridionsl. Oh southern man, looks for Q
sensational suicide.
Tn, u you mean 10 call sensational sud-
cidcs, at least to some extent the regicidA
attempts of d,.perate mehr' asked the
lrespoideit.
Yes" replied the professor 'on con.
diuon that you add TO the ' ord desperate
the word degenerate Place dc generate
in the wretch,d conditions il " hit h lta Lis M
in foreign countries find themselv so
often, and you have before you an indi.
vldual " no dreams oil nflsflng miserable
life by r,sounding suo ide. Take the
cases OF Cssrio in France, Luccheei In
Switzerland, Blcsci in Italy and Rubino In
Belgium.
Then you do hot believe in the ana histio
de- larations which they all make under
similar Giro unstanCssF
Certainly hot. The Anarchists have
ideas, rot impulses; and the regicides that
/ have mentioned are all Great ures Of i'm.
pulse and solitary Wr,tchcs. Doubtless
they have been more or his infut Lo cd by
socialistic and anarc histic public atio ns,
but With them that influence is only SEQ
ondary. The true cause OF their acts lies
in their intellectual de &, LrIacy accumulated
by the miserable physical conditions Of
their existence. For example, take the
first word of RubIo when lie was arrested:
i vas so wretcheoly poor, said he. DC.
There is the complete explanation of his
act. The man is an impulsive degenerate,
determined to end his life of misery in a
brilliant fashion. according - his notion
