COLEMAN HOLDS REINs.
New Select Councilman Will Prob
ably Control Organization.

aoly Control oIgan1zatlon'
T.. J. Coleman, the new Democratic
select councilman from the Sixteenth
ward, controls the organization of the
select council, or at least the selection
of Il Democratic candidate for chair
man, with the Democrats in the major
ity
The two candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination are John j. Costello,
of the Third ward, and John j. Nc
Andrew, of the Twentyfirst ward. Ac-
cording to very good authority, each
of these candidates has four members
pledged to his support, as follows:
Costello-Melvin, Quinnan, Coyne and
Maloney.
McAndrew-Vaughan, Regan, O'Boyle
and Cosgrove.
This, with the candidates own votes,
would give each five ballots in the cau-
Gus. This leaves Mr.. Coleman, the
eleventh man, with the deciding ballot.
He has not yet committed himself and
has pledged his vote to neither candi-
date. There is a story current to the
effect that he does not favor either
candidate, and that If the Democrats
expect to win out they will have to de-
eide upon someone other than Mr.. Co.'S
tellO or Mr.. McAndreW.

Another movement to effect a settle
mcnt of the street car strike is afoot.
The executive committee of the Gen.
trail Labor union, through two prom
inent citizens, have been at work for
some time past endeavoring to secure
some concession from the company
that would result in the strikers agree
ing 20 call off the strike.
AS Il result of these endeavors the
trolley company agreed to take back
all the men as fast as places could be
made for them, one hundred to be
taken back Immediately upon the call
ing off of the strike, and the remainder
within a reasonable time, not to exceed
sixty days. The order in which the
strikers are to be taken back is to be
regulated by the strikers themselves.
The barn men are to have an increase
in wages.
This very liberal concession taken in
connection with the recently announced
advance in wages was deemed by the
Central Labor union committee as be-
ing sufficient concessions to move the
strikers to give up their fight and the
executive committee of the union set
about the tssk of effecting settle
ment.
a meeting was held last night in the
Office of 2. a. Barrett, local manager
of the E.lnira Telegram. Besides the
two citizens, who We're active in secur
ing the concession, there We're present
the executive committee of the Central
Labor union, the executive committee
senting the company.
The strikers committee would not
commit themselves, saying they would
have to submit the matter to the union.
After the conference the strikers COM
mittee repaired to their own headquar-
ters and had an executive session last
ing until 1.30 a. m. At it's conclusion
it was stated by the committee to a
Tribune reporter that nothing had been
done further than to frame cafl for q
special meeting of the strikers union
tomorrow night.
1t is understood that the Central La
Dor union is disposed to insist on the
strikers accepting these new terms.
One of the men who was at last nights
conference said to Tribune reporter
at l o'clock this morning: You can
say that the strike will be settled be-
fore Saturday."

A MASQUERADE PARTY.
Delightful Affair Conducted at Ex-
celsior Club House.

A delightful masquerade party was
conducted last night in the Excelsior
club house and was attended by sew
eral hundred persons. The affair was
sort of after celebration of the feast
of Purim, and was designed especially
for the younger folks. The proceeds
of the cake and candy sale conducted
in one of the rooms will be turned
over to the fund being raised for the
erection of the new Jewish temple.
The feature of the night was the
singing of the mandarin's song from
San Toy" by Sol Goldsmith and six
little girls representing his six wives.
Mr.. Goldsmith was the mandarin and
attired in full Chinese costume with
a celestial makeup he presented a
most remarkable appearance. The six
little maids We're also attired in Chi
nese costumes and the song was rem
dered in splendid style, Miss Rose
Gallen had arranged this part of the
programme.

TROLLEY COMPANY
AGAINST @. s VI.
Asks Damages in the Sum of $5, 500
Because of Alleged Holding
UP of Its Cars.

Just to see for once how 1t feels to
be other than the defendant in tres
pass case. and, incidentally, to chas-
tise a fellow corporation for not pre-
venting its employees from being vo-
lently sympathetic with the street car
strikers, the Scranton Railway COM
pany yesterday instituted $500 dam
age suit with the Ontario and Western
Railway company as defendant.
The trolley road crosses four tracks
of the defendant company at the neck
Of the Mayfeld yard. Since the early
part of October, 1901, the plaintiff sets
forth in the statement of the case, the
employees Of the defendant company
engaged at and near the crossing, in
switching, have, from time to time,
almost every day, blocked the cross
ing, Intentionally, to delay the plain
tiff company's cars. and that more than
one hundred cars have thus been held
up from ten minutes to half an hour.
For the loss the plaintiff has sustained
by reason of these delays $4,000 dam
ages are asked.
Jan. s, 1902 the statement further re-
lates, Il trolley car bound from Car
bondale to Scranton was going over
the crossing, when an engine that was
stationary on one of the tracks, thirty
feet away, suddenly and speedily start
ed up and crashed into the car, dam
aging it to the extent of $500. The col
lision, it is alleged, was due to a wilful,
malicious attempt on the part of the
Ontario and Western company's en-
ployes to wreck the car.
Willard, Warren e Knapp represent
the plaintiff company.

BENEFIT FOR THE HOME.
Will Be at the New Armory, Thurs
day, April 3.


TO correct a misunderstanding which
has arisen as to which of the two lGas-
ter week concerts Is for the benefit of
the Home for the Friendless, the man
ayers of that institution wish to an
nounce that the "Home" concert will
be held on Thursday evening, April B.
and that the participants are Madame
Lillian Blauvelt soprano; Ben Davies
tenor, and Fritz Krelsler, violinist
This concert is attracting much at
yhtion among the music loving peo-
ble of this city and vicinity. 1t has
been many n day since n combination
of such strength has been heard here
Fritz Kreisler Is undoubtedly the fa-
vorite volinist of the day Faithful
to his ideals, he eXemplifies the aphor-
ism that genius is an infinite capac-
ity for taking pains" and thus has
achieved renown such as comes to but
one man of nation in generation.
Ben Davies is u universal favorite
the world over. Brilliantly gifted, he
possesses the magnetism which thrills
an audience and holds it. One of the
greatest representatives of the Welsh
race of today he should be enthusiast
ically greeted by his music loving COM
patriots in this region.
Lillian Blauvelt is one OF the most
sought after concert singers in the
world, and it is unnecessary to tell
Scranton people that they want to hear
her
The Home is sorely in need of ready
funds and by purchasing tickets for
this concert practical help can be
given.

TWENTY-FIVE ANIMALS.
Report by Park Superintendent on
Number in Menagerie.

Someone sent n letter to Recorder
Connell the other day, asking for de-
tailed information regarding the num-
Der and kind of animals on exhibition
in the menagerie at Nay Aug park.
Superintendent Phillips was requested
to make an inventory of the live stock
of his labors:
One alligator
Two North Carolina beale
Three Florida red deer.
Three oppossum.
Three monkeys.
Six racOOnS,
-Four fox squirrels,
The superintendent neglected to mem
ton several dozen of gold fish owned
by the city but it is thought that the
person desiring the information would
not be interested in this fact The
whole collection is valued at some
where between S400 and $500, It's rather
a small and uninteresting one but It's
a start and before many years elapse
If present plans prevail, there will he a
geological collection at the park that
Scranton need not be ashamed of.
The work OF erecting the new animal
houses at the park Will be begun just as
soon as the passage of the bond ordin-
anee which contains an item of $4,000
for park improvement purposes Is as
sured, Bids in accordance with the
plans already prepared will be solicited
and the contract awarded. The work
of improving the roadways in the park
will probably be begun next week. I'm
till the new animal housea are built

The Economy's Gift Carnival

One of the most unique celebrations
that Scrantonians have ever been
privileged 10 attend, took place yester-
day afternoon, when the Economy Fur
niture Co. celebrated their twelfth an
niversary in a lavish style, long to be
remembered by those who attended
and it seemed that almost everybody
was there.
AS you entered the front door num-
bered ticket was presented to you-and
then the interest in securing some
handsome piece of furniture conf
menced
Up and down the various aisles the
lines of people progressed-and the
press warnings of the past week had
evidently influenced them, because
their eyes We're "to the right" 1t is
presumed their thoughts We're on the
number printed on the pasteboard in
hand
Now and then some lucky person
would make known the fact that her
number was in sight, which, coupled
with strains of sweet music for which
Lawrence's orchestra WAS responsible
made the afternoon both exciting and
orally pleasing.
The total value of the gifts amount
ed to 500,
MIR. Oettinger in view of the fact
that many We're unable to find their
gifts, made the following statement to
a Tribune representative:
ION account of the fact that a large
number of visitors We're unable to
search properly for their numbers to-
day, because of the vast throng, we
have decided to extend the time in
which gift numbers may be searched
for, until Friday so there will be no
ground for complaint on account of in
sufficient time. The public are cordial
| ly invited to consult only their own
| pleasure, in looking over the store,
from basement to top floor until the
| close of business on the day mentioned.
Within few days, we shall an
nounce a date-through our advertise
ment i'm this paper-when Il beautiful
souvenir will be presented to every
person presenting one ofsthe numbered
| tickets This course was necessary, in
order TO ascertain the number of cards
given out, so that a sufficient number
of souvenirs could be ordered and no.
| body disappointed.
1.-The wisdom of this action is illus
| trated by the vast attendance today,
! which greatly exceeded our eXpecta-
| tions" ~
