MAYOR WEAVER'S
FIGHT TO FINISH
FHllADELPHIA'S MAGISTRATE
EXPECTS TO WIN OUT.

New York, May 24.-Mayor John
Weaver of Philadelphia, arrived in
this city this afternoon for the pur-
pose of consulting with Elihu Root
on the situation in the Quaker city
regarding the lease of the gas works.
The mayor was seen by a Publishers
Press reporter as he stepped from the
train in Jersey City.
81 am in the fight to the fnish," he
said, "and believe that l will win out.
] do not expect that my opponents
will take the matter to the legislature,
but l am not anticipating any moves
my enemies may make until they make
them"
What is your object in seeing Mr..
Root?" He was asked.
Il want to consult with him as to
the legality of my position and on the
entire situation as it exists now in
Philadelphia s,..
When asked If there was any change
in the situation In Philadelphia the
mayor replied that there was no mater
ial change
You can say this for me-" he re-
marked emphatically. Politics will
never govern and can never govern
the will of the people. Politicians must
cbey their constituents and not COM
mand them. The people of Philadel-
phia are tired of graft The gas fran
chise was the final straw" When
asked If his fight against the Republi-
can organization would prevent his get
ting into Office again he said: We'll
don't know about that However.
am ready to sacrifice any political am
bition that | may entertain in order
that the interests Of the people might
be subserved.
MY critics probably realize now that
there is some backbone after all, and
some good left in sinful Weaver"
Mayor Weaver took exception to
DIR. Parkhurst's remark before sailing
for Europe today that Philadelphia was
the "rottenest city in the world"
We'll wait and see who wins out"
said the mayor with prophetic shake
Of his head.
The mayor refused to discuss his fu-
tuTe course in the gas steal war, but
ntimated that there would be further
Developments before long If he was
convinced that his position was tenable
Mr.. Weaver showed the reporter
telegram which had been received from
DR.. Lyman Abbott of this city, and
which read Congratulations on your
grand fight in the interests of good
government. 1t is what the American
people need"
The mayor then entered a carriage
and was driven rapidly to the Office Of
the lawyer.
Mr.. Root was waiting at his Office for
the mayor, and Immediately after he
arrived both entered a carriage and
we're driven rapidly away. No one at
the Office would say where they had
sone, but 1t is known that they went
to club to hold their consultation in
private.
ROOT WILL NOT TALK.
New York, May 24-Eate tonight the
correspondent OF the Publishers Press
located Mr.. Root at his home. He
stated that he had met Mayor Weaver
down town." and that he had agreed
that neither should state what action
had been decided upon. Mr.. Root will
appear in the legal proceedings In
Philadelphia as soon as his presence is
needed.

FERRY AGAIN TO
Be OPERATED

The ferry boat is once again safely
moored at it's old landing ON the South
side. 1t was brought back Saturday
evening by crew of fourteen men,
under command of the Captain of the
squad, County Commissioner Cook.
Twelve of these men went down to
where the ferry boat was. early Satur-
day morning. They made the trip in
row boats. Later Commissioner Cook
started for the scene of operation, 60
ing by train and taking two more men
with HIM, thus increasing the number
of polemen to fourteen. However, the
officer in charge, when once the up
river trip was begun did as much pol.
ing as any of his force.
When the men reached the boat, they
discovered that they we're up against
an unlocked for proposition. The fiat
had been run up Wolverton creek some
distance from its mouth, when the
water was high. The water having
fallen to considerable extent since.
had left one end of the fat tightly
grounded on the bottom of the stream.
Consequently, it had to be raised and
pushed into deeper water before it
could be tloated out into the river. 1t
took great deal of time to accomplish
that difficult feat, but it was finally
effected and the long and uncertain
trip back to Danville begun. Every
thing went all right during the early
stages of the journey, until Cooks
rifles were reached. There the boat
ran aground, the bottom having come
in contact with large stone that was
just concealed from sight by the shall
low water. The ferry was firmly fast
ened. For three hours it bid defiance
to the 10 strong men to push it from
the top of that rock. Finally, though,
it yielded to the powers against it and
glided off into deeper water. From
that on the men had no trouble
The remainder of the journey was
made without anything worthy of note
transpiring, the landing being made
on the South side, late Saturday even

Reporters Good Fellows.

Bishop Talbot, while in Pottsville,
said to Chronicle representative ::
II have always found the reporters ex-
cellent fellows. The Bishop but voic-
ed the sentiment of every man of
prominence who has been frank with
the newspaper workers. 1t is the man
who wants to be mysterious who does
not find reporters good fellows because
the latter usually get behind the mys-
terry. Then there is another class which
imagines the reporter is being only
fit to become the butt of ridicule-
that it is jolly good joke to fool the
reporter. But this class is soon mea-
sured by the discerning news man and
are set down at their proper level.
But the man who is frank with the
reporter, and the reporter who honors
his position sufficiently to grasp what
the word confidence means, will get
along together, and neither will have
any complaint to make. There are ex-
ceDtions on both sides, of cour rso, but
frnnkness and honesty will never cause
any man to lose confidence in the new 8
man, and the latter, if he constantly
practices frankness and honesty and
never violates confidence. will have
little trouble in bagging legitimate
news. The mysterious men on either
side are the ones who cause trouble.
Bishop Talbot is not one of that class.

Undesirable Element.

The foreign element crowding into
the coal regions must be q valuable
acquisition to the population II the
following from the Hazleton Standard
is any criterion
People should not throw dead
chickens into the street as they are apt
to be picked up by the foreign ele-
ment, who cook and eat them. They
make practice of going about the city
in quest of dead fowl and visit the
ofial barrels of the grocery stores,
where they gather up spoiled fish and
other cast off eatables. Health Officer
Bonner has repeatedly warned this
class of people to desist in this practice
but they continue to violate the in

temporary place Of retirement to take
observations on the prevailing atmos.
pherio conditions. That date is his
day out, for this especial purpose, af-
ter rest that began with the begin
ming Of winter, and when he surveys
the weather situation we shall have
some prophecy on that interesting sub
joet that will put in the back ground
the goosebone prophet and other rival
weather prognosticators.
The day when this intelligent ami.
NAL makes his appearance to exercise
his peculiar talent is generally looked
forward to with much interest by an
anxious public. The hope is enter.
tained that he will not see his shade
for should he see It he will return to
his winter resort, being fully oonvino.
ed by his climatic knowledge that
there Is going to be six weeks more OF
cold weather in which a grounding
that has any regard for his comfort is
not willing to be out.
Why this remarkable animal is pos.
essed Of its prophetic talent is a mys.
terry to naturalists. The only explsna.
tion is that it was born that way, the
same rs some individuals are endowed
by nature with some peculiar genius.

EIGHT MEN TAKES
FRIGID PLUNGE

The naphtha launch owned and op-
Grated by Daniel Ross upset Tuesday
morning and spilled niue men into
the icy waters of the Susquehanna
Luckily the boat was near the landing
when the accident occurred; SO all the
passengers managed to reach shore be :
fore being overcome by the freezing
water. Those in the boat were Peter
Baylor and Station Agent W. r.
CLARK of South Danville, DR.. E A.
Curry of this city. Calvin Clark of
Mayberry township, George Woodruff
of Rush township. William Oberdorf,
of Sunbury, aud travelling sales
man. George E. Williams. of Roches-
ter, New York. Frank Ross and his
son Daniel were running the launch
1t was shortly after 8 O'Clock when
the accident occurred. the boat was re.
turning from the P. r. r. passenge
train. There was quite heavy foe
Of ice in the river, but the launch had
been easily plowing through such ice
'oi ""Jo' 81 ~ eiouule was autlCIpat-
ed from that source. When the craft
had reached point about 30 feet from
the Danville shore it struck stone
that slightly tilted it, and large ice
cake, just then striking the boat, serv-
ed further to unbalance it. At this
critical moment Mr.. Williams moved
to the lower side of the launch and in
a twinkling the little craft capsized,
and threw men and bundles in a
confused mass into the water.
The water was about three feet deep
at this point and several of the pass.
engers were wet only to the waist.
The Others. however, were completely
submerged, and barely escaped being
thro wn under the boat.
Those of the unfortunate party who
reside ou this side of the river started
with all possible haste for home, their
wet clothes clinRing to them, and freez.
ing OH the way. The men from the
other side were not so fortunate, for
the river lay between them and the
warmth Of the home fireside, but they
were not comp He'd to endure their
suffering very long. Places were soon
found where they secured a change of
clothing and although the fit, in most
cases. was not of the best, the dry gar
ments were most acceptable.
