DATE OF WEDDING.

Both Smith and Mrs. Ulmer admitted
their engagement to The Tribune man,
and said the wedding will take place
on the evening of October Is. 1t is their
intention to return to Scranton after
the wedding for a few days, and will
probably postpone their trip to Europe
until spring, owing to the lateness of
the season.
Smith has invited number of his
relatives and friends to attend the we'd
ding and Mrs. Timer has assured all
who attend q cordial reception and a
good time. The couple seem very
much attached to each other, and take
the notorety they have received in
good part.
Mrs. Timer Is Il rather good looking
woman. a stylish dresser and good
conversationaist. She says she is ~
years old, and Smith is three years
younger. She was rather disinclined to
talk about her wealth, but said, "If
/ did not have money, you don't sup
pose l could travel around the way i
have"
The published story about Mrs. u
mer having Il husband in Easton
rather upset Smith and for time he
said he did not know where he was at
but her messages and telegrams re-
assured him and her presence here
during the past three days restored his
faith in her.

there are now 1000 men at work in
and about the mines. If 1000 more
went to work it would mean IL breaking
up of the strike. With $4,000 men at
work there would be a soldier to guard

Colonel Watres received an intima-
ton yesterday that more troops We're
last night. he had learned nothing
definite us to what additional troops
would come to this region.
NO DISORDER.
1t was expected that yesterday would
witness ii repetition OF the disorder
which has characterized so many Mon
day mornings of late. but contrary to
these expectations the day was one of
the most quiet the strike period has
seen.
There was a general anticipation that
the failure of the White House confer
ence to effect an immediate settlement
of the strike would have dishearten-
ing effect on the strikers and cause
many OF those who We're wavering and
those who had deserted the companies
at the solicitation of the strikers ennis
saries to return to work. The strike
leaders shared in this belief and had
extra plcketS out to prevent a possible
llocking back to the mines, but it de-
veloped there was no occasion for this
extra vigilance. There was not even
the first semblance of a break in the
strikers ranks.
Only one company reported anything
approaching an unlawful attempt to
interfere with its workmen. This was
the Delaware and Hudson company.
Employees of the Marvine have had to

ence the workmen have had to contend

The romance attached to the brief
courtship of Mrs. A. j. Timer of Ea ston.
and Fred Smith. of this city. still goes
on uninterruptedly Notwithstanding
the printed reports about her alleged
bartender husband. and unless some
thing happens to dash Smiths hopes to
the ground. he hopes to be united in
marriage to Mrs. Timer at Easton at
o'clock on Wednesday evening, oct
10.
In conversation with a Tribune man
yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Ulmer reiter-
ated the statement that she is the
widow of A. j. Ulner. whom she mar
ried when she was but a school girl
and he was well advanced in years
At his death she says she inherited a
large fortune.
Her piano and organ factory, she
says. is located at Odemiler;own. about
a mile from Easton, and Is managed by
William Allen. and siXty-elght people
are employed there. she gave her
place of residence as AL Northampton

business woman. and does not know the
man who claims to be her husband.
SHE LEFT HER PURSE.
Mrs. Smith and her prospective hus-
band arranged to leave the city at 2.1s
o'clock yesterday afternoon over the
Delaware and Hudson road. but when
they reached the station she discovered
that she had either lost or left her
purse, containing s25, at the Smith
home in Petersburg.
They got the purse and returned in
time to take the 435 train for Wilkes
Barre and catch the Black Diamond
express for Easton. arriving there at
s O'Clock last evening. Mrs. Timer in
tends to have Mr.. Smith spend the
next week at Easton as her guest, and
investigate for himself and learn that
everything is just as she has represent
ed it to him.
she has met his relatives and inauir-
ed about his standing in this COM
munity and is entirely satisfied with
him. She does not want him to marry
her until lie has satisfied himself that
she is free to marry whom she pleases
and is in possession of the piano fac
tory and the fortune.
Mrs. Timer attributes all the MOTOR
iety she has received in this city to a
man named Charles Stmson to whom
she gave the marble heart" as she
put it. the day she met Smith. She
asserts that he then swore to get
even with her and cause her all the
trouble he could. She admitted that
everything printed in the Tribune
about her was correct.
Regarding the man in Easton who
claims to be her husband. Mrs. Timer
thinks 1t is some bartender who read
the story of her enga cement to Smith
and sought to obtain notoriety by pub
fishing the statements printed in the
Easton Free Press. She threatens to
prosecute the man and bring suit
against the paper for defamation Of
character

WESTERN GOLFERS.
Entries From That Section to National
Tourney Very Strong.

Western golfers are prepared to give their
brethren In the east a pretty stiff argument
at the national championship, which will
take place at the Glen View Club links in
Chicago on July Is to 10. In fact. the
Windy Town wielders Of the clubs believe
that they have in William Hoa bird, jr., OF
Glen View, and Walter E. Egan OF On
wentsia, two men who are on a par with
Walter Travis. Findlay Douglas and other
eastern stars.
Besides these men the west has other
clever players Of almost equal merit, in
Guiding F. Hamlin. w. Waller. J. NJ. Seller,
c. B. Macdonald, Walter B. Smith, the
veteran: H. ]. Whigham Of Chicago. and
the western champion, Phelps B. Hoyt of
Glen View.
With such an array OF talent in the field
1t is little wonder that the western folk en-
terrain some hope of beating the east this
time. Young Egan is said to be In superb
form. In fact, right on edge for a cham
pionship game.
Hoiabird is also playing very fine game
seurs Of the game who think him good
enough to finish among the first six, even If
he suffers little hard luck.
Bruce D. Smith of Onwentsia Is another
good man who has been induced to try his
luck in the championship.
The western handicappers allow him but
one stroke on Holabird and Egan. He is
brilliant but somewhat cratic player II
he strikes his best gait at the Champion
ship tournament his friends say nothing
can stop him from winning.

RACES AT sHEEPsHEAD.
Splendid Contest for the Equality
Stakes

Stakes.
The thousands Of persons who witnessed
the races at Sheepshead Bay yesterday
saw stirring struggle for first honors In
the Equality, the fourth race on the pro-
gram 1t was heartbreaking contest from
the rise Of the barrier until the wire was
reached AS the four contestants passed
the finish line blanket could have covered
the three within the money, Dublin, High
lander and Old England. The two first
named ran dead heat for the first honors,
with Old England only about three-quar-
tiers of length away. Considering the poor
condition of the track, the time in which
the race was 1.391was excellent The
best record over the course is 1.37 As,
which was made by Brigadier with 112
pounds up, last year.
AT one stage of the race 1t looked as If
Dublin would not be headed and would win
by about length. When the barrier went
up the four horses were almost aligned.
Highlander, whose chances were most IA
vored. soon took the lead. only to fall ack
to last place at the quarter. At that pole
Dublin was leading. He was nose in front
of Old England who was only neck ahead
of Belle of Troy. At the half Belle of Troy
became weary and slowly fell back to last
place. Here Highlander appeared to get a
new burst Of speed, and in few moments
he was being covered with the dirt kicked
up by Dublin. Turning into the stretch
Dublin was still leading by a length, with
Highlander and Old England running like q
team and Belle Of Troy practically dis
tanced.
1t was nip and tuck from there to the
finish. and when within few jumps Of
home Dublin, who was third choice in the
betting. lost whatever vantage he had, and
was just able to cross under the wire on
even terms with Highlander. The owners
OF the horses decided to divide first and
second moneys, so the race for f1rst honors
was not run off. One favorite, three sec
ond choices and two horses at good odds
were the winners Of the day.
