WANT CITY TO ASSIST.
Board Of Charities to Ask City for
an Appropriation.

At a meeting Of the Board OF Asso-
clated Charities last night 1t was de-
cided to ask the city councils to appro-
prlate sum of money to assist the
board in its work. The report of the
agent, Mrs. w, 3. Duggan, was to the
effect that fully one-half Of the cases
handled by the board would naturally
fall upon the city IL the board did not
exist. without the board police mat
ron would become necessity. Some
years ago the city councils appropriat-
ed a sum each year for similar work
but the practice was discontinued. It
was thought that the city could well
afford to do something for the board
in consideration of the amount 1t saves.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the recorder and director Of pub
lie safety and present the matter to
them. The committee consists of Col
onel L. Fl. Ripple, Rev. Rogers Israel,
ID. d., Samuel Hines John Gibbons and
Conrad Schroeder. Mrs. w. B. Dug
gan will accompany the committee.
Mrs. Duggan called the attention Of
the board to the number of children
who are on the streets who ought to
be in school. She gave 1t as her opin-
ion that there ought to be four or five
truant officers in the city. Some Of
them ought to be women as they had
been tried in other cities and proved
very successful.
The report of the treasurer showed
that there was 1892 in the treasury,
but bills for more than that amount
were passed by the board subsequently.
The agents report showed that since
the last meeting in March "a there had
been 243 applications for relief, Of
which 100 were investigated.
Mrs. Duggan reported that for the
last week she had been besieged by
men who are looking for work.

There Will Be Over Two Thousand
Competitors-Greatest Event Of
Kind in This Country.

Now that the headquarters for the
approaching eisteddfod have been
opened on Linden street, the prepara-
tions for the great musical and literary
event are advancing rapidly. A part
of the committee yesterday afternoon
visited the armory and We're amazed
at the beauty and profusion Of the de-
coration. AS the Knights Templar dec
orations with their thousand electric
lights will be left intact for the els
teddfod, the only opportunity the peo-
pie of Scranton will have to see u ver-
liable fairyland will be at the concert
on the night OF May 20 and on the day
of the eisteddfod the 30.
A review of the entries for the va
rious competitive departments will
show the intense local and general in
terest prevailing. In round numbers
the literary department has $50 entries.
There will be at least four large choirs
with a membership of about 700. The
male and female choruses will number
together about 900. The German con-
tingent will reach nearly 400, the Arian

Trouble has already begun as result
| OF the mine workers efforts to prevent
the operation of culm washerles. More
| or less serious disturbances were re-
ported yesterday from Olyphant, Cork
Lane. Avoca and Inkerman.
Monday night the five Olyphant locals
| of the United Mine Workers decided to
| make a concerted move to prevent the
operation Of the Delaware and Hudson
company's Grassy Island washery. Yes
terday morning at daybreak fifteen
hundred strikers formed picket line
about the washery and intercepted
every man who attempted to pass. All
Of the fifteen men employed at the
washery were persuaded" to turn
back. Some of them hesitated to obey
the strikers solicitations" but they
did not hesitate long.
Foreman Lewis and half dozen coal
and iron police came from the washery
to order the strikers to desist in their
alleged intimidation. The appearance of
the coal and iron police had a tendency
to cause commotion among the strik-
ers and to prevent serious uprising
the police withdrew.
CROWD SURROUNDED HIM.
Foreman Lewis remained to argue
with the strikers, and while surrounded
by large crowd was set upon by big
Hungarian woman. who knocked the
hat from his head into a pool of water.
This act melted some of the hot-headed
members OF the crowd to surge threat
eningly about the foreman. but more
thoughtful ones interfered and pre-
vented further assaults.
The washery did not work during the
day but the company declares it will
be worked today.
Last evening, at o'clock, as six for
eigners employed at the Butler wash
cry of the Pennsylvania Coal company
at Cork Lane, near Pittston, were re-
turning from work. q crowd Of two
hundred men and boys set upon them
and gave them brutal beating. It was
reported that one of them had his eye
blinded. The workmen got away from
the mob and fled down the lane to
Broad street. the crowd following them
into the very heart of Pttston. They
finally managed to elude their pur-
suers.
Tuesday night. at Avoca. number
Of shots were fired from ambush in the
HelSuDOTIlOUu OI the IlTlWOOQ wash
cry, supposedly at the officers who are
watching the property at night. This
is the washery at which young James
r. Dickson was mysteriously killed yes
terday morning.
RESEMBLED A BULLET HOLE,
There was story afioat that he
was shot from a distance and fell
into the flywheel. A round hole,
that closely resembled bullet hole,
was discovered in his left breast near
the collarbone. by Undertaken Price,
when he was preparing the body for
burial. Coroner Saltry was notified and
an exhaustive examination made with
probe, knife and X-rays, but no bullet
could be found.
Shots We're fired at the workmen in
No. washery of the Pennsylvania Coal
company, near Inkerman, Monday, but
they were fired from great distance
and failed to do any harm. 1t was quiet
there yesterday.
Sheriff Charles III. Schadt stated yes
terday that he has not sworn in any
deputies to guard coal companies prop
erty and, further, that he has not been
asked to do SO. He has called in all
the badges issued to deputies, that he
may reorganize his force If he deems it

pretty evenly matched. The playing on
Wednesday was very good. but no feats

MRS. PETER HUDSON
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.

While Driving Home, Horses Back or! Wenas
Creek Bridge Uncertain as 20 Cause Of
Deaih
Mrs. Emma Hudson, wife of Peter
Hudson Of the Upper Wenas valley, met
death accidentally last Friday afternoon
near their home. They had been visit
ing during the day and on returning
home in carriage he got out to open
the gate on the road leading from the
public highway to their home, leaving
Mrs Hudson in charge of the horses.
In driving through the gate the harness
scraped against the gate-post and caused
the horses to become frightened. They
pranced around considerably and some
man standing near, supposing they
lowed "whoa ~ The horses stopped
near a bridge across Wenas creek, which
was swollen. Mrs. Hudson pulled back
on the lines, when the team stopped,
causing it to back, and before it could
be checked backed over the bridge into
the creek. Mrs. Hudson was thrown
into the deep water and the rig and
team on top of her.
As to the cause of her death it is not
definitely known. 1t is supposed, how
ever, that she died from the effects of
heart failure, superinduced by fright,
before thrown into the stream. When
taken out of the water she did not ex-
hibit the symptoms of one that had
drowned, neither were there any bruises
on the body which would indicate that
death was caused by injuries. The
body was Immediately removed from
the stream and taken to her late home.
She was IS years old and leaves a family
of grownup children. The funeral SER
vices were conducted at the home on
Sunday and were attended by large
number of the people of the Wenas,
who were shocked at the sad accident.

Backed Down on Final Hear.

Tom Wright OF Mabton, with an al
legged cracker-jack, went against Me-
Drennon's S-year-old colt, last Saturday,
at the fair grounds race track. Mac was
exercising Freddie d, and was challenged
by Wright for 14-mile dash. He ac-
cepted and beat without an effort. The
Mabton man wasn't satisfied, and the
race was run again, with the same
result. He was still ''swelled" on his
horse, and offered to bet 500 his horse
was possible winner, but when Nc
Drennon offered to cover his money,
backed down. Freddie d promises well
for 3-year-old, and you will hear more
OF him before the season is over. Some
of Macs friends thought his horse was
overrated, but have changed their minds
since the race of Saturday. He also has
PAGER, in training, which promises
well.
