ST. LOUIS ALARMED BY RuMoRs
Corn Reported "Doctored," But Story
Proves False.


ST Louis, Mo-, July 9.-Much excite
ment was created on the floor of the
merchants exchange by by rumors and
charges filed concerning the present
corner in July corn. Thomas Aiken,
one of the biggest brokers in the eN-
change. complained that corn reported
from Chicago to East ST. Louis was not
up to the ST. Louis standard of no. =,
but in reality was "doctored' corn.
A committee was appointed to inves-
tigate Last night III. j. Crimson. chair
man of this committee, reported that
the corn WAS inspected by the commit
tee in the afternoon and found up to
the standard. The report will probably
do much to allay the excitement.
Another rumor was that Harris,
Gates & Co are short 100000 bushels

FREIGHT HANDLERS HAs1Y STRIKE.

The freight handlers strike in Chi
who ask higher wages. appears to have
been more hastily made than the rail-
road managers think was prudent. The
strikers claim that the railroads would
not respond to their petition, and hence
they called strike. The managers of
the railroads, however. assert that they
had not been given a chance to discuss
the demands of the men.
The general manager of the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy is quoted as say
ing: 1--WE have refused no demand of
our men because none has been re-
ceived. An unsigned schedule of rules
and pay was handed around in the
freight house June %. We replied by
a letter June %, addressedto all ourmen,
that we would meet them on any propo-
sition they wanted to discuss. Up to
Freight Handlers Union have presented
no demand, and in an interview held
be called until the railroad managers
had had an opportunity to talk with
committees of their own men, but this
proposed meeting, so far as the Burl-
ington men are concerned. never took
place"
The manager of the Rock Island road
says: Last month a printed demand
was handed our agents. The schedule
was unsigned. Notwithstanding the
fact that we had voluntarily increased
the wages of our freight handlers in
April. we decided that we could afford
to make still further increase. This
latter increase, with the one of April,
made total increase of 20 per cent.
The men would express no opinion on
the last increase offered them, but said
the matter was entirely in the hands
of their union. We told them we We're
ready to confer with our men at any
time. We heard nothing more from
them until today, when they quit work
at the behest of walking delegate"
The managers of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, and other lines have
made somewhat similar statements,
averring that no request had been made
for conference.
The attitude of the railroad managers
was such that conference was agreed
upon by them with committees of their
own men, to be held Wednesday, but
the meeting did not result in an agree
ment.
The strike seriously handicapped the
twenty-four railroads entering Chicago
in moving fgreight, but the probable
ties are that it will not be effective
ilone. for If an agreement is not reached
the railroads profess to be able TO fill
vacated positions soon.

coins birthday were conducted by the

gramme.
Superintendent Howell had for his
subject, "The Life and Character of
Abraham Lincoln" He briefly sketched
the career of the great emancipation,
and pointed out how his every achieve

not due in any measure to chance.
Some interesting anecdotes of Lincoln's
life were used by the speaker to illus
trate his character.
Principal Josln followed with a
brief address on the significance of the

REEVES EXPLANATION.
Says Setting Of Hydrants Entailed
Much Extra Work.

superintendent Robert Reeves of the
Scranton Gas and Water company, was
in city hall yesterday, looking after
the bill of $1,59235 for setting hydrants
on Lackawanna avenue, which was
held up by the auditing committee and
explained that the charge was so much
higher than former charges for sim
liar work because of the fact that the
hydrants had to be placed on the side
of the street opposite the water main,
hecessitating the digging of n ditch al
most entirely across the street, and the
laying of three or four times the or
dlnary amount of pipe required,
Chairman Vaughan, of tile auditing
committee, said that this explanation
might account for some of the extra
charge, but intimated that the bill will
have to be very materially reduced be-
fore the committee will ever approve
1t. The bill did not meet with the ap-
proval of Director of Public Works
Roche, who refused to sign it.
Two other bills presented by the
company are being held up by the
committee. These are for $240.4S and
$92.1O for changing location of gas
and water mains respectively, at the
corner of Cedar avenue and Elm street,
by reason of the sewer. The conten-
tion is that the company must change
It's mains at its own cost wherever
municipal improvements call for such
change

tion was held in Scranton recently, and
an agreement reached to form fedora
lion. The concurrence of the national
heads of the respective organizations
was sought and secured, and, yester-
day. saw the perfecting of the project.
The federation will work along the
lines of similar bodies on other. rail-
road systems. Each affiliated body has
q general committee composed of dele
gates from the various local divisions.
This committee meets periodically to
deal with grievances presented by the
local divisions. Any grievance, which,
in the committees opinion, has merit, is
presented to the company for redress.
Conservatism and reconciliation have
always obtained with these committees
and as II consequence there has never
been any serious difficulty encountered
in the conference with the company.
These general committees will not
lose their identity in any measure by
reason of the federation. They will
continue to transact business as at
present, the federated board interfering
only when any general committee fails.
In its relation to strikes the fed
Grated board tends to be an element Of

officers to be redressed. Now it must

RECITAL AT BICYCLE CLUB.
Miss Umstead and Evan William:
Were the Artists.

The piano recital given by Miss Mary
Umstead last night ut the Bicycle
club was attended by large represen-
tation of the musical people of the city.
| Great interest had been manifested in
| Miss Umstead's artistic success, as she
| has many friends in Scranton who
| have been anticipating Il treat when
she should make her first appearance
| here. The result was in the sense Of
| surprise, for she surpassed eXpecta-
tions by the breadth and briliance of
her work
Miss Umstead is a very attractive
young lady and she plays with a viril-
ity which is seldom heard from
woman's fingers. She has all the
power and the peculiar facility of
wrist movement that characterize Aus
der Ones execution, and plays with
the same definite touch, the same hon
est clear eyed Interpretation of her
theme. She has no mannerisms, no il
lusions, no wavering, misty conception
OF her art. Her Interpretation of the
Bach-Tausig Valse Caprice was tri-
umph of brilliant execution, but she
has also certain grace of poetic feel
ing, as was realized in the little frag-
bert-Lizst Serenadc, and the Moskow-
sky encore. The Lizst numbers We're
given with mastery effect.
