get rested. A regimental guard was
then placed about the building.
Eight companies are stationed at the

The armory has been connected with
long distance telephone, and is placed
in position to easily be communicated

posed camping ground yesterday morn

the Eighth's fifty-eighth day In service,
but the soldiers seem quite contented.
Three companies of the Ninth regi-
ment were sent to the Exeter colliery
at West Pittston again yesterday morn
ing, but there was no disorder there.
The strikers seem to have abandoned
the place for the present.
Yesterday morning six members Of
the Exeter borough police force hand
ed their stars in at the Office of Bur-
CESS Max Cross saying they would not
serve under "scab" chief of police.
The burgess took their stars and will
refer the matter to a special committee

Burnett Renews Bail.

William Burnett who on Tuesday
night shot Wajclack Majewsky near
Archibald was brought into court yes
terday to have the amount of his bail
fixed. He was released Thursday in
$4,000 bail pending hearing yesterday
to give the district attorney an oppor-
tunity to ascertain the condition Of the
injured man.
Assistant District Attorney w. Gay
lord Thomas told Judge Newcomb
when the matter came up yesterday
afternoon that Dr. Beck, of Peckville,
the attending physician, had reported
that injured man is in a critical con-
dition and will probably die. Mr..
Thomas suggested that the bail be rails
ed from $4,000 to $4,000.
Judge Newcomb thought that it would
be sufficient to allow the bail to stand
at $4,000 pending definite knowledge as
to the condition of Majewsky. John r.
Dryden qualified as bondsman.

THEATRICAL.
"Sergeant James,"

1.-THE romance of man who listed" Is
the sub title OF Sergeant JONES'
drama which was produced last night at
the Lyceum. 1t is a clean cut play OF
military life in the west, has good dia-
logue and an abundance of dramatic
scenes. The drama was written by Eu-
gene Walter and was put on the stage
several weeks ago by kirke La Shelle,
whose other military play, Arizona
proved such a winner.
Sergeant James" is by no means a SOM
bre play. The somewhat tragic theme has
the leaven of a delightful vein of COM
edy running all through it. The company
is not a notable one but 1t gave most
effective presentation of the drama last
night. The leading roles are in the hands
of Henry Kolker, who has the title role.
and Miss Ellen Boyer who is the Mrs.
Lucy Borridge Ferris of the cast. Both
of them did excellent work last night.
showing the nice discrimination of the
true artist.
Other excellent members of the COM
pany We're Joseph Manning. Harry Gibbs.
Nina Duane and Jane Field The play
has an exceptionally fine stage setting.

Of Reading nominally based on the. sup
position that the end of the coal strike Is
near. Manhattan was largely bought by
the speculative interests which have been
accumulating the stock for some time.
There was notable disposition to ad-
vance on the part of a number of minor
low-priced industrials, especially the rail-
way equipment companies. During the
final hour the professional operators.
whose buying had advanced prices, took
their profits very generally with the re-
suits that final prices for a number of
leading stocks are from 1 to 2 points
lower than the best. Net gains are very
generally indicated for the day. never

movement In st. Paul was the publication
of a report that important stock sub

the color of authority given to a report

The trespass suit of Mrs. Emma Haas
against the Scranton Railway company
was on trial all day before Judge New
comb The evidence Is all in and this
morning the closing arguments to the
jury will be made.
The witnesses examined for the plain
tiff yesterday were George Cobb, George
Dunn and Blanche Brooks. The case
for the defense was opened by Major
Warren and the witnesses examined
were John Farrell, Drs. Bailey. Van
Sickle, Shield, John Lee, p. j. Kelly,
j. Dempsey, M. Burke, G. Whitlock, P.
j. Swift M. Collins and Patrick Lough-
ney. The defense Is that the troubles
from which the woman is suffering are
not due to the accident, having existed
long prior to that. 1t Is also contended
that the company is not responsible for
the accident since it was caused by an
obstruction placed on the track
Before Judge Durham the suit OF
John Newell against DIR. Wilson Decker
veterinary surgeon, to recover the
value Of horse. was on trial all day.
Mr.. Newell lives in this city and owned
a valuable mare which he took to Dr.
Wilson's stable to be operated upon
The mare died two hours after the
operation for the reason, as is alleged
that the mare was not given the proper
kind of an anaesthetic and that the
operation was not performed In proper
manner and that the right kind of in
struments were not used. Drs. Helmer
and Paget gave it as their opinion that
the operation was not properly perform
ed and that it ought to have been COM
pleted in twenty minutes whereas it was
testified that DR.. Wilson was three
hours performing it. These vetern-
arians also gave it as their opinion
that the instruments used were not ade-
quate.
DIR. Wilson in his own defense de-
scribed the character of the operation,
the manner in whcih 1t was performed
and the instruments used. He said
everything in connection with the oper-
alton was in accordance with the meth
DDS considered in the veterinary world
as the best. The doctor was defended
by Attorneys John f. Scragg and M. w.
Lowry and the plaintiff by Attorneys
O'Brien and Martin. The case will be
resumed this morning.

ACCUSATION BY
PRESIDENT NICHOLS

The following was given out by Pres
ident Nichols yesterday:
Scranton. Pa, Sept. o5 1902.
To the United Mine Workers Of District
Dear Sirs and Brothers: I have just
come into possession of facts which are
of so vital importance to you that take
this opportunity of making them known
to you all. Notwithstanding that the op-
orators stated that no efforts would be
made to get the miners to return to work
till they came back of their own volition,
desperate efforts are being made to bribe
a portion of our membership so that they
will use their influence to get the rest
of6he men to return to work.
Michael Grimes, formerly mine fore
man at different collieries in the region,
with headquarters now in the Valley ho-
tel at Scranton, is apparently an agent
for one or more companies and has tried
to bribe some of our local officers to use
their influence to get their local to break
the strike.
He offered to give local presidents two
thousand five hundred (s25OW dollars each
If they would get ten other men from
their locals to draft resolution declar-
ing that the local would go to work and
have it adopted by the local union.
Two of the men were to get five hun
urea uOlldrS apiece, ana tle OtleT eight
were to receive one hundred dollars each.
This would be paid besides the $500 to
each president
He offered to furnish money for eX-
penses, and said that if they were eX-
posed they would be taken care Of. He
said they could get any position under
the company that they were able to fill,
but not to ask for it until three months
after the strike was broken.
He said if they were not qualified for
foremen, he could arrange for the certiti-
Gates as the examining board was con-
trolled by the companies. He said for
his work he was to receive a lease of
coal land from the Erie company.
Now, be warned by the foregoing and
keep your eyes on all member and Off
GERS. Let no argument cause you to let
go the victory you have so nobly fought
for and won.
Beware of Grimes" and his hirelings
and stand true and manly. Remember
that those who have hired "Grimes" to
try and corrupt members with money
cannot be trusted no matter what their
professions. and that to return to work
and trust their promises to adjust your
grievances will he the height of folly.
The above statements were furnished
to me by men who are willing to testify
to the same in court, if necessary.
Fraternally yours,
4. ID. Nichols. District President.

Seldom are the local theater goers pro-
vided with a popular priced attraction
which offers such a varied list of stand
ard dramas as the Irene Myers Stock
company, which is announced for next

DENIAL BY GRIMES.

Mr.. Grimes, when seen last night by
a Tribune man, said that President
Nichols statement was untrue. The coal
companies superintendent who We're
asked concerning the matter also de-
clared the statement to be false.
1t Is admitted by the companies that
in isolated instances, where lawless-
ness has been particularly rampant for
the past week, a few men have Quit
work, through fear of bodily harm, but
that these losses have been made up
many times over by new additions to
the working forces, When the men find
that they can have protection, the COM
panies contend, there will be constantly
increasing additions to the ranks of the
workmen, and that, in due time, break
will come and the strike be over.
The mine workers declare positively
that such a break will never come, and
that since the soldiers arrived here the
non-union men are quitting work and
applying for admission to the union,
saying they will not work under mill
tary protection. stephen Reap, presi-
dent of the Olyphant sub district, stated
yesterday that twenty-five men in that
region quit work yesterday and applied
for reinstatement in the union.
