"I do not see why the street railways of that city should not be owned and managed by the city as successfully as they are In Glasgow, although it is a much larger proposition. There are few people in Glasgow now who are not advocates of municipal ownership. District Presidents to Meet The car, which was the next behind the locomotive, was uncoupled, and the robber ordered the engineer to pull out, which he did as the revolver was thrust behind his ear, while the other weapon covered the tireman.

It was an expected and unexpected victory for the American boat. Washington, May 2!D.—Loyd C. Grlscom, the United States minister at rl\»kio, telegraphed yesterday: Arrangements have been made for a meeting of the district presidents of the three districts, to be held in Scranton on Wednesday, when the plans to be carried out during Mr. "Japanese government announces that their licet engaged the Baltic licet this afternoon in Straits of Tsushima, which were held. Cannonading was heard from tin- shores." "The only trouble has come from the telephone venture, and that is due to n light made against the city by the National Telephone company and to the natural aversion of the Scot to a telephone. The average Scotchman would rather walk a mile and hold a conversation face to face than use the phone. Before the r.ace started the Atlantic was a strong favorite and the popular choice for the races. Mr. Dickinson and his wife lived on Wyoming avenue, Green Ridge. Mrs. Dickinson had been away from home for two weeks, undergoing Bied-i leal treatment in Philadelphia. On Thursday her husband", who had been in Philadelphia for a couple of days, returned home. Mrs. Dickinson followed on Saturday. She had sent her husband a telegram saying that she was coming and was surprised that he dd not meet her at the station. She proceeded to the family home and made the horrible discovery that her husband was lying dead on the bed in his room. The authorities were quickly notified. The body of the dead man woh In a nightgown. There were three deep gashes In the neck, and the blood which had (lowed from these was ail over the belitjig end on the (loor at one side of the bed. lTpoji the chiffonier were u small manicure scissors and an old rdzor. Both were blood-stained and both had apparently been used in indicting the wounds in the neck. Messenger Opened the Door. Mitchell's visit to the anthracite region will be fully determined on. "I'll give you live seconds," he said, placing one revolver In his pocket and pulling out a stick of dynamite. Beyond this brief and somewhat uncertain message, in which there is only the suggestion that the Japanese have Imcii victorious, the Washington government has nothing to give a clear idea.

"We are constantly improving the street car system, and at the same time the roads yield a profit. Last year the profits were $500,000. Created Disturbance on South Main The door was opened and the messenger was ordered to give up his revolver, which he did, and stepped out on the ground. The bandit jumped on the car, placed three sticks of dynamite under the car, set a short time percussion fuse and jumped out agaiu. In a few minutes there was a terrific explosion, the door of the safe was ripped off and money and jewelry came tumbling out on the floor. INDICTMENTS FOUND.

True Hills Were Rendered in a Number "We pay higher wages than privotely owned companies, have fewer hours of labor, work the men six days ft week, have no strikes and pension meu when they are disabled. A foreigner named Provcnsan, a tough character from all reports, was arrested by Olllcer Linnen last Saturday night, charged with carrying concealed weapons and creating a disturbance. Provensan lives on South Main street, where he conducts a butcher shop. Last Saturday evening his little daughter was run over by a carriage, the occupants of which did not sto'p, but drove hurriedly away. Provensan got the idea that the carriage belonged to Liveryman Fitzpatrlck and he went to the South Main street barn, where he demanded of Joseph Fitzpatrlek that he pay him for the accident. The outfit did not belong to Fitzpatrlck so he refused to make any settlement. Provensan left the barn and returned in a. few minutes, repeating his demand In a more insolent tone than before. He started in to create a fight, but was held by the livery hands until Ofilccr Llnnen appeared on the scene and placed him under arrest. He was taken to the police station and when he was searched a loaded revolver and a long knife were found on his person. The man was Riven a hearing by the mayor yesterday and said that all bo wanted to do was to scare Fitzpatrlck- He was fined $25 and held under $500 bail for his appearance at court. Not being able to procure the necessary funds Provensan was committed to the county jail to await trial. Mayor Langan is determined to do all in his power to break up the habit of carrying concealed weapons and has announced that he will administer the extreme penalty in every case of this kind brought before him in the future. A city ordinance limits the penalty for this to $25 or 30 days in jail. C»f Plttston ('uses Tills Washington, May 20. — Rojestven- Bky's tnain squadron has been smashed. There is hardly any doubt that two of his battleships of the first class, the Borodino and the Orel, are at the bottom of the sea and that three cruisers have been destroyed. The rest of his heavy ships are still engaged in fighting with the Japanese fleets, and In the opinion of the highest naval officers here those that escape the pursuit of Togo's vessels will be too badly crippled to be of any further value in the war. The state department was kept well informed last night in two dispatches from Minister Griscom anil in one from Mr. Hanis, the consul at Nagasaki. edge said iunc tiic grarc«t damage, lie believed, had been done to the torpedo boat flotillas between Saturday night and Sunday morning south of the easterly Korean strait. Morning. A number of l'ittston cases were presented to the grand jury this morning. with Clitet of Police Ixiftus as prosecutor, and til© following true bills were returned: John Provenson, carrying concealed weapons; Giovanl de Quarto, five separate county of larceny; Samuel Hood, larceny. The case of Provenson is a record one as far as It has gnno. The man was arrested last Saturday night for carrying concealed weapons, was given a hearing yesterday morning by Mayor Laugan, and committed to the county Jail in default of ball and was indicted this morning. De Quarto, the man indicted on five counts, was arrested some weeks ago while in the act of robbing O. Savino's store. When his boarding house was searched it was found to be a veritable store house of plunder. Pension After Fiftoen Years' Service. "Every imwr-4»» entitled to n pension of half pay if disabled after fifteen years of service. With the brace of revolvers In Ills hands again the bandit ordered the messenger and engineer to cltunber into the car, so they could not flee and give the alarm. The bundles of notes and burst bags, from which gold coin had fallen, attracted the attention of the robber, and just for a moment Ills eye roamed over the rich loot. Just at that moment Messenger Lamb stooped and picked up ft heavy bar of iron. The car was in semldarkuess. Shortly before midnight a dispatch was received at the state department, it being then Monday In Tokyo, announcing that the naval battle still was in progress, running southwest from the Tsu iRlands toward the coast of Japan oft Nagasaki. This means that there was also n torpedo boat fight on Sunday night as well as on Saturday, and undoubtedly further losses will be reported from both fleets.

"Wo do not have to worry about dividends, stockholders and the annoyances to which private ownership of roads subjects those who manage them. We have no terminals, where ears can become congested, such as your Brooklyn bridge terminal. Japanese Purpose to Cripple Ships. The fact that the engagement has been in progress forty-eight hours is regarded here as determining affirmatively the fact that the Japanese admiral kept his battleships and first class cruisers as far as possible from the heavier Itussian vessels and that his purpose was to cripple them so that "Strike a light, one of you!" roared the man with the pistols. "Our cars keep moving ahead all the time. There Is never any congestion. We never run under less than a one minute headway. If more cars are needed we supply them. Our cars are kept clean and in good repair. We simply have to please the public «by giving them a good service instead of pleasing stockholders by giving dividends."The first bulletin from Minister Griscom told a volume in itself. It contained only the words, "Togo has held the strait of Korea." That meant the crippling of Ilojestvensky, if not his complete defeat, because it proved he had to turn southward, where he has no place of refuge except In a neutral harbor in which no repairs far war purposes could be made. Wilson obeyed, and ns he did so he saw the iron bar in the hand of the messenger and comprehended the situation. He blew out the light Instantly, and down came the bludgeon with crushing force on the bandit's head. He fell like a log, rolled over and without a word stretched out at full length. In less than two minutes both men were on top of him, he was disarmed, and with ropes his arms and legs were bound so that he couldn't move baud or foot. MEMORIAL DAY. To do all this, bleeding as ho was, must have .required great vitality. It is believed that he then came upstairs again, pud lay down upon the bed to wait for death to come. The coroner Was not able to decide whether death had resulted from the stab wounds or from the escaping gas. He will probably conduct an Inquest this week. A peculiar feature about the affair is that a loaded revolver was found in one of the drawers of the chiffonier. Why Dickinson did not use this is a mystery.

No details or even the name of the ship have yet been learned, but this government has taken prompt steps to investigate. Ambassador Meyer in St. Petersburg was directed by the president to make inquiry concerning the American merchantman and report all the facts in the case. An official protest with a demand for satisfaction then will follow from the state department here to the Russian government. Tomorrow will be Memorial Day, the day set apart for the honoring of the memories of the soldier dead. Arrangements have been made for the appropriate observance of the day by Nugent Post, N. G. P. Details from the Post will decor&te with tlags and flowers the graves of the dead soldiers. In Plttston, Market street and West Plttston cemeteries, appropriate exercises will be held at the same hour during the morning. There will be music by choirs of school children and addresses suitable to the day. It is hoped that the public will turn out In largo numbers to these, exercises. There will be a general suspension of business tomorrow, in honor of the The second dispatch from the United States Minister in Tokyo was as follows: "Japanese admiralty announces that Togo's fleet engaged the Baltic squadron in the Tsuhima strait on Saturday and held the strait against the enemy. The cannonading can be heard from the shore." FIGHT AMONG FOREIGNERS Prisoner Placed Under Guard A drunken fight among Polanders took place yesterday afternoon In Sebastopol. at a boarding house near No. 7 Junction. One of the foreigners had his throat cut in a dangerous manner and another received several scalp wounds, from being struck by a fiat Iron. No arrests were made. Wilson went back to his engine, threw the throttle wide open and with whistle screaming went plunging to the station at Drummond. The agent was aroused, and the prisoner was placed under guard while the news of the holdup was flashed to St. Paul. The express car was not much damaged, and it went through on the regular run. No property had been taken, and the passengers had not been molested.ilt has been stated by several of the dead man's friends that he had been acting peculiarly during the past few days. No reason for the suicide can be advanced, except that the victim waf» temporarily deranged when he took his life. News of Japanese Triumph. It is not improbable that Minister Griscom sent more complete details of a confidential nature to the state department, because it was evident to anybody that the Washington government had direct news of a great Japanese triumph, with some loss, however, to Togo's vessels. He was about thirty-eight years old and was extremely popular. Ho was a high Mason, and was a ralload man of rare promise. THE MAGMEI WIT From what can be gathered In direct official channels the most severe attack on the Russian squadron was 011 Saturday night, participated in by several torpedo boat flotillas, and it is said here on IiIrIi authority that eight or ten of Japan's torpedo boats were destroyed In attacking the Russian battleships. There is ground for the statement that Admiral Togo lost a cruiser, and it would not be surprising to learn that tills news came from Mr. Griscom In the state department cipher. It is officially announced in the state department that all foreign officials have the privilege of scudiug information to their respective governments and that it is an error to think other- CZAR HEARS THE NEWS. veterans, Tho remains have been taken to Coatesviiie, Pa., for interment.

The fear was expressed that the battleship sunk might have been Itojestvensky's flagship, the Knlna: Souvaroff, on which the Japanese would undoubtedly concentrate their fire. The sinking of the repair ship Kamchatka, which was filled with the most modern machinery, might, it was thought, prove later to be s more severe loss than that of a warship, but at the admiralty, where crowds congregated Sunday afternoon and evening, the opinion was expressed that if Rojestvensky hud cleared the gateway to the sea of Japan with no greater loss than that reported by the American consuj the passage had not been dearly purchased, especially if later reports should prove that the Men's and boys' percale shirts, bright new spring patterns, all worth 50c.
