Williams' letter, which he received a few days ago, told him to go to a certain place in Yatesvllle and leave there $800 on pain of losing his life. A plot v|as laid to capture the writer of the lfetter, and Saturday evening Deputy James Mussi, with three assistants, went to a point near the place where the money was to be left and concealed themselves. At tiio appointed tim« Williams appeared and placed something that was supposed to be money where the. letter had told him to. lie then went away and the watchers spent the night on the lookout. No person appeared near the spot and in the morning the packago was taken away by the deputy and his men, who returned to this city. Williams this morning received another letter, more threatening than the llt'st, demanding his life If he would not leave the money. The recipient of Ihe missives liaa deciued to lake 110 further notice of the* demands.

The election of Lieutenant Francis to the captaincy will leave a vacancy that will bo filled at once. Second Lieutenant L. G.

Bowen at once went to tlie White House and left his card for the president. He spent the evening quietly at his hotel, where he received a number of friends. Buffalo, N. Y., May 15.—Two thousand visitors are already in Buffalo to attend the biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, which opened in Convention Hall this morning. There are 250 delegates who with their wives and daughters and friends, are arriving on every train from all parts of the United States and Canada. Chicago, May 15. — Unless compromises are offered by all the opposing interests in the teamsters' strike now in progress in Chicago the strike will spread greatly during the next fortyeight hours. The refusal of the teamsters' joint council, representing 35,000 union drivers, to accede to the demands of the Chicago Team Owners' association to handle merchandise for nil business houses having contracts with the members of the owpers' organization without discriminating against the firms involved in the present strike has brought the controversy to a point where a speedy settlement will have to be made to prevent an extension of the trouble. St Petersburg, May 15.—The widely heralded May day demonstrations in St. Petersburg wore a complete fiasco, and reports from Moscow and tlie provinces Indicate that order reigned generally throughout Russia. A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY LAUREL LINE ACCIDENT Many dlsitdcrs are reported front Reval, Kishineff and one or two other places, but up to midnight no report of serious tumult or loss of life lias been received, and the attempts of the Social Democrats and the Social revolutionists to signalize May day by great untigoverninent demonstrations appear to have been a thorough fayure. It is expected that the president will send for Mr. Bowen today and receive from him his statement in connection with the' charges which have been brought against Mr. Loomis, the acting secretary of state. Mr. Bowen refuses to discuss the matter in any way whatsoever, beyond saying that his mission to Washington is in obedience to instructions received Rome time ago and that ho awaits the pleasure of the president for a hearing. Mayor Knight welcomed the delegates to the city at the opening session, and Grand Muster P. H. Morris- Fey responded. Governor Higgins wilt speak at tonight's meeting, which will be open to the public. Another Fatality at the Mid- Rite of Confirmation Admin- vale Crossing. istered at St. John's. A conspicuous-visitor to the convention is Thomas Craagan, a railroad man, now past his seventy-fourth year, who retired from active service only last year. Mr. Craagan was a delegate to the convention in Denver two years ago, and came 011 here from his home In Susquehanna. The convention ends 011 May 26. Dispatches from Kazan, Tift is, Saratov, Cronstndt, ItoHtov-on-Don, Kiev, Tomsk and other cities say the workmen observed the day as a. holiday, that the shops were closed aud that quiet was not disturbed.

After receiving tlie announcement of the teamsters' joint council refusing to obey the ultimatum of the Team Owners' association a meeting of the owners' organization was held, and it was decided to give the teamsters more time to consider the question. At first it was the intention of the owners to put their ultimatum Into effect this morning, but, believing that the teamsters could be Induced to change their minds, they were given until tomorrow to make filial answer. Crossing the Soulli-houmI BUSY SATURDAY NIGHT Track, When lie Was Peoplb Were Received, ami Struck lDy a Car. Cabinet Member's Remark. Iu St. Petersburg the day passed in almost perfect quiet and, happily, without a drop of blood being shed. The revolutionaries found it impossible to execute the programme of demonstrations and brimb throwing which they had so widely advertised, the workiiigmen declining to sacrifice themselves to advance the propaganda of their self constituted leaders, and the advertised meetings were attended chiefly by spectators. Delivered a Sermon, Samuel Weisenberg, of South Wcles street. Wlikesbarre, was the victim of !i fatal accident tlpat occurred yesterday afternoon on the Laurel Line, at the Mid vale station. He was struck by a car and instantly killed, his body being mangled in a shocking When the charges reported by Mr. Bowen against the official Integrity of Francis B.

Bishop Hoban, of Scranton, "administered the sacrament of coniirmation to a class of 600 children. The occasion was one of much import to the participants and the ceremony was 011c that they will long remember. The handsome church edifice was crowded, all the seats not allotted to the class being taken the relatives and friends of the young people. The chlidreiif entered the church from the basement at 3 o'clock and marched in twos to their seats, the girls to the right and the boys to the left. There were about 380 girls and "20 boys and they occupied nearly all the pews in the central part of the church. The girls were all dressed in white and wore wreaths and "veils. The boys wore dark suits. The scene presented was one that will long be remembered. After all had been seated one side of the church was an expanse of white, while a pleasing contrast was afforded by the darker garments of the boys on the opposite side. Slrueturai Workers Meet. Buffalo, N. Y., May 15.—This morning the Structural Building Trades Alliance of America opened its national convention in Buffalo. About 150 delegates are in attendance, representing 800,000 wage workers. The alliance includes the principal trades engaged In the building industry. itan Aspect. "The affair lias become such that there Is no other way to quiet it," this cabinet officer is said to have remarked.All ol° the ltailroaCl and C'CmI Company Weisenberg was ail agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Co. and had gone to Mid vale, in company with K. Kdelman, another sewing machine agent, Intending to make a business' cab. According to Edelman's story, both got off the ear at the Midvalc station. Weisenberg, who was ahead of Edelman, was in the act of crossing the southbound tracks when a southbound car came tearing down upon him and in an instant Weisenberg was beneath the wheels. The terrible sight so affected Kdelman that he fell to the ground in a dead faint. The ear almost grazed his body. manner Pays Came Together, With tlie I result that Shoppers, were Out One of the most important matters to be considered will be the resignation of President Frank "Brennan, or How President Iloosevelt might have reg.rded it did not develop, for Secretary Taft, who Is temporarily in charge of affairs of state, expressed the opinion tliat such a course would not be fair to either man, since charges had been preferred and had become a matter of public knowledge. With that the subject was postponed for the conference which Secretary Taft and the president had at the White House. iu I'Virce, and the Stores Did Great Biisineis-i Governor General Trepoff handled tlie situation firmly, but with a view to avoiding collisions. Squads of Cossacks patrolled the Streets, reserves being held out of sight in courtyards, and the guard regiments were retained under arms in their barracks. Cossacks Patrolled Streets. Chicago Two Thousand Men Marched. The central part of. the city had a metropolitan appearance on Saturday night. The last night of the week is always a busy one for the business people of the elty, owing to the fact that it is the only night In the week when the stores are kept open and there are a large number of people who are unable to'rio their buying in the daytime, on account of being compelled to work. I«ist Saturday night, however, the crowd of shoppers was exceptionally large, owing to the. fact that nearly all of the coal and railway companies paid on that day. Men, women and childrei) Dyerc out In force, and the walks In me Central part of the city were so crowded that It was almost impossible for people to move along" lively. Everybody had to follow the crowd or take to the street pavement, as many did who were in a hurry. It was a crowd of buyers too, and a peep Into the stores showed that business was at high flood. Some of the stores wore unable to close their doors until after 11 o'clock, so great was the crowd of people who wanted to nuke purchases for Sunday and Mjuare up th.'ir accounts. 'Altogether it was one of the busiest Saturday nights ever seen in the elty. There was a time when the Pennsylvania Coal Co.'s pay was the only Till Workers' Wage Scale. Marching with draped banners and muffled drums, more than 2,C»00 union men followed the body of (leorge S. Pierce, a striking teamster, who was killed by a deputy sheriff, from his home to the TTnion station, whence the body was taken over the Pennsylvania railroad to Louisville, K.v., for burial.' Detroit, Mich., May 15.—Completion of the wage scale, report of the organization committee, election of oflicera, including a delegate to the Industrial ttnion convention at Chicago, in the order named, is the work yet ahead of the convention of Amalganiated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, which resumed its regular session this morning. President Shaffer has wired that he expects to return from Wheeling, W. Va., tomcrrow. His absence will have no effect 011 the business of the convention. The governor general attributes the lack of trouble largely to wholesale arrests of incendiary leaders. No funeral services were held In Chicago, but the escorting of the body to tlie station was made the occasion of a labor demonstration in which not only tlie Teamsters' union but organized labor generally participated. The men, marching solemnly four abreast, each wore on his coat lapel a white button with this inscription in blaCk, "We mourn the loss of a murdered brother." Loomis Saw President. The car dragged the"" body of the unlortunate man about 25 feet before it could be stopped by the motorman. The man's chest was terribly mangled, the vital organs were exposed, the heart being asunder. The remains were placed at one side and eovtred with a blanket. Undertaker Mooney, of Wilkesbarie, soon arrived and after dressing the remains at his morgue took them to the victim's home, where his wife and 17-year-old daughter were apprised of Mr. Woisenberg's terrible end. Mr. Loomis had 11 personal conference with the president and handed to Mr. Iloosevelt his formal written answer to the charges reported by Mr. Bowen. This answer is a detailed denial of all the charges and an explanation of the circumstances surromiding some of them. What he said and what the president said are things concerning which no information Is obtainable. The seal of silence has been set upon the lips of all concerned in this affair. The prestige of the Social Democrats and revolutionist* «niffnrpCl irreatly by the failure, v Cngh (hey frying last night to retrieve it by issuing a manifesto attributing their inability to carry out the programme to the overwhelming force- of military uud proclaiming a general strike today. Bishop Iloban, with the assisting priests, entered the sanctuary shortly after 3 o'clock and went at once t& the altar, where ho vested for the ceremony. He then addressed the class, telling them briefly the meaning and effect of the sacrament. The beys then advanced to the altar railing, two by two, and were confirmed. The girls followed and then several adults received the sacrament. Bishop Hoban was assisted by Bev. Father O'Connor, of Scranton, the clergy of Sr. John's, Fathers OWlalley. Manley and Jordan, and Itev. William Brehl, pastor of St. Mary's of the Assumption church. The question upon which the interest of the delegates now centers is the plan of reorganization. It Is proposed to reduce the number of vice presidents from ten to four, which would materially lessen the expense of the organization. It is now almost a foregone conclusion that the convention will send a delegate to the Chicago convention. Who the next president will be Is a question yet in mystery. The leaders were so confident of success in advance of the event that they prepared a number of informal hospitals or bandaging stations In the neighborhood of the various advertised meeting places in order to render first aid to the victims of the expected rioting. Part of tlie onus of their failure rests upon Father Gapon, who sent a message from abroad to the leaders of his old organization saying, ,"Do nothing until I return." Even the spectacle of three eoal wagons manned by nonunion negroes near the Union station elicited no more than mutterings as the column filed by. The only break in the serious mien of the men occurred when n patrol wagon, called in anticipation of trouble by two policemen in charge of the coal wagons, galloped to the scene. Then cheers and handclapplng, mingled with shouts of derision, broke out along the line for a block. But there was no work for the police. The unfortunate ending of the man is particularly distressing as his wife ami daughter, the latter 17 years old, have only been in this country one month, having come direct to Wilkesbarre from Austria. Mr. Weisenberg had resided in Wllkesbarro for the past three years. It is not yet announced whether there will be a general hearing of the charges or whether Mr. Rowen and .Mr. I.oomis will be brought face to face or each will see the president alone. If you desire to aid a worthy causa be sure and attend the benefit ball In Keystone hall next Tuesday evening May 16. It is given for the benefit of Edward Carter, who lost a leg recently in his employment about the mines. This is a very worthy cause and should be well patronized. Tickets 50 cents. So far as existing relations with Venezuela are concerned, diplomacy is at a dead slop. The BoWen-Looiuis affair has blocked everything in that direction. Before this matter develo|wDd President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft were inclined to intervene to protect the rights of the Now York and Bcrniudez Asphalt company. They have not changed their attitude, but until the Bowen-Loomis affair is closed up there will be no action. DUNMORE STRIKE HAS BEEN SETTLED Strictly Genuine. After all had been confirmed Bishop Hoban preached a sermon that was fu'! of good advice to the children. He said he expected to see them all grow up to be good men ami good women, and to do this they mult always love arid obey their parent. He said further that ho had brought along medals to present to the confirmation class, but had not enough with him and would send more. Tho service was brought to an end by benediction, which was givven by the bishop. onu that caused a marked increasu in business, but several other pays now reach large proportions, ami help materially to swell the volume of business. The Lehigh Valley Coal Co. unit the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co. are steadily increasing the number of their employes in this vicinity, and the Lehigh Valley pay is a most important one. The collieries of this company hereabout now number seven, while the number of employes at Coxton yard is rapidly climbing to the 1,000 mark. Most of the patent medicine testimonials are probably genuine. The following notice recently ajipeared in the Atchison (Kan.) Globe: "Joe Tack, a well known engineer, running on the Missouri Pacific between "Wichita and Kiowa, lately appeared in a big ono with a picture, and when in the odice today we asked him about it. He says ho had terrific pains in his stomach and thought he had cancer. His druggist recommended Kodol and he says it cured him. He recommended it to others who were also cured."

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL Carriages Occupied by Union Officers, The procession formed near Pierce's home, and Immediately following a carriage bearing the aged mother, sister and two brothers of the decedent came thirty carriages occupied by union labor officers. In the first carriage was President C. P. Shea of the Teamsters' union, with Vice Presidents John Sheridan and E. ,T. Mullen. The succeeding carriages contained officers of the various locals of the Teamsters' union and of other affiliated unions. At intervals $long the line were the banners of the different locals and four American flags, each draped in black. Eight hundred marchers fell in behind the carriages at the start. All along the way other detachments joined their ranks until when the station was reached the column extended ten blocks.
