I)AXGR SIGNALS SHOULD I'.E PROVIDED
f SPECIAL TCLFCKAV! TO THE DtSPATCn.l
IUyemta. All". 0. The decision of Coroner
Sherman in the Krie wreck ns filed to-day..
It is nn exhaustive review or the case, being
principally devoted lo the dissection of the
evidence The t-enNHtional Ftorv told by the
tramp is -ntiroly disctcditol. Following is
asmimmr of the Coroner's finding:
First, To summarize my findings, I hold J.
FeuderjTHst, engineer of train No. 8, gnilty
of carelessness in not notifying the conduc
tor of his train that ho had work to do on
his engine, that all the ciew might have
been on the alert for approaching trains.
Second, I hold Conductor W. H. Young, of
train No. Si, guilty of gross neglect of duty,
for registering and leaving Kent in viola
tion ot the rules; in not using due care or
diligonco in controlling the speed of his
train when cromir the C. & P. II. It., cross
ing at 2J miles an hour in violation of llio
rule and law: and especially in not order
ing his men lo apply brakes at Morgans
curve, to asNt the engineer to come into
Kavcni.a w ith hi ti-iin under control.
Third, I find Gvurgu J- Holme.-, engineer
of train No. 62. guiltvof neelect of duty m
not blowing hi3 wliistlo at Morgan's curve,
as that would have notified those at 11a-
enna of hh. coming; nlo of carelessness in
not having his train under control.
Fourth. I linld llnrimrd liver, the watch
man at the inteilocking station at the Cand
) crossing, guilty of gross carelessnoss in
not blocking the freight train when he saw
tlie. dnnaer imminent, and thus haveavoided
the accident.
Fifth. I hold that certain rules of the Xeir
York, Lake Erie and Western Hallway Cora
nanv aro dofectue in this thnt rule b7,
which permits a fast freight to follow u
jiRSstr.per train at an interval of 5 minutes
Is dangerous and not in accord with sound
Judgment p.nd p.ihlic sntety
SUth I hold that the companies are rc
mis in duty, in not eqnippingall fastlreight
train- n ith airhmkes to nisuro perfect con
trol of Jipsvv trains.
Seventh That an emergency dangor sia
nal should ho placed at every pa-scnger
siution. and thnt the person liaving it in
charge Ghoul d be requned to aUplay it in
fuIMicn lieneoi a pns-enger train isde
tuincd from an causo beyond its nsual
allotted tin.e: and that no two fa-t trains
should be permitted on the same tenitory
between contiguous stations at the tunic
time.
A FLOOD AT HAEBISBUEG.
I'axfon Creek Ovei flows and Submerges
Scleral of the Streets.
IlAMUsntnic, Aug. 5 Early this morning a
sudden rain storm swelled Paxtou Creek,
and carried away the upper dams. The
creek overflowed its banks from Itockville,
live miles west of here, to Ilarrishurg, and
bridges ami fences went down in tne rush of
waters in an incredible short space of time.
The upper portion of Ilarrishurg, along
I'.ixfnn (.'reek, w ns under water, and by day
light Eleventh, Pitxton and Race streets were
m-crilow i-d, and wauir was running into the
iront doors oi the residences.
Manufactories along tho creek were
flooded and were obliged to cease opera
tion", but none of the large iron industries
were affected. The several brick works
.long the creek were overflow n, andmillions
: bnrk, ready for burning, are mud to-day.
Cnlvnrts, were swept away between this city
r.nd 5f eelton and the street car tracks sub
merged to a depth of two feet, completely
stopping travel for a time, and causing great
Inconvenience. Nearly 1,50(1 persons were
obliged to leave their homes for a time, and
the damage from the unexpected flood is es
timated at $50,030.
KKOCKED OUT THE LAW.
Game May Be Kept in Captivity Daring the
Close Season.
Zambvxue, Aug. C In a suit to-day Judge
Phillips, of tho Common Pleas Court, lifeld
that a section of the Revised Statutes which
makes it an offense, punishable with fine
and imprisontnent.to have in one's possession
nsquinci (or any other animal) during tho
time when the killing thereof is made penal,
is invalid, because it docs not limit tho un
lawful possession of an animal to those
killed or captured dnriug the period be
tween the 1st day of July and the 15th day
ol December.
lie holds that if one captures a squirrel In
August he may lawfully keep it in his pos-i-r.-ioii
oicer, and it is not in the power of
the Legislature to require him to release it
iu December. It is lawful to kill squirrels
on the 15th day of Deci uibcr. Can tiie Leg
islatme mnkeit lawful to keep it tho next
lay? That is what the Statute undei takes
lo do. It the Matute limited the possession
of those caught between July 1 and Decem
ber 15 it might be lawful.
SEVEN SEVEBELY SCALDED.

cun ed on a curve where it was inipossiblo
tosecatiend.

Atlantic City.
Ofttimes when Senator Quay would bid
Ben Sooey goodnight at the wreck and tell
him to come back for him at daybreak, little
did he think that a real, live mermaid was
flirting around his little boat, for at this
very spot McMillen and Fleming were fish
ing'all night on Monday and toward the
gray of morning were startled when draw
ing their line, the hook of which became
entangled in the hair of a beautiful maid of
the sea. She has a babv face and, like Tom
Cooper, is red-headed and hopeful; she
laughs and cries alternately, relishes ice
cream like Philadelphia school girls. Mc
Millen and Fleming think tliev can teach
her to talk. She can now say i'ok and they
believe she will soon say "To-ka-lon" for
the skin and scalp distinctly.

Plum Roll
by Mrs. S. T. Rorer,
Principal PkUadtlfki Cocking SchesU
Add one teaspoonful of Cleveland's
baking powder and a half teaspoonful
of salt to one pint of sifted flour. Sift
again. Rub in one tablespoonful of
butter, add sufficient milk to make a
soft dough. Roll out, sprinkle with
one cup of chopped raisins and a half
cup of chopped citron. Dust-with cin
namon, roll up and steam for thirty
minutes. Serve warm with hard sauce.
Use only Cleveland's baking poviier,
the proportions are made for that.
The most healthful leaven is
carbonic acid gas from pure
cream of tartar and soda. It is
the only leavening
power of Cleve
land's Baking Pow
der. That is why
Cleveland's is per
fectly wholesome,
leavens most and
leavens best.
Try it, Cleveland's.

We are in the midst of a Grand 15-Days' Clean-Up Sale,
extending to every department and to every article. Now is
your chance and opportunity to buy cheap goods. We'll give
you as many examples as our space allows, come in and see tho
rest it will be money in your pocket :
MmFoiIi:
They are making a dead-set on
those $5 men's suits which we
are offering during this sale for
the ridiculous price of $2.90.
Perhaps this isn't cheap for a
full suit of men's clothes. The
suits we now offer at S5 in sack
and frocks of latest styles are
worth $ 10. They, too, are sell
ing rapidly. Those 20 styles of
Cassimere Pants we are offering
at $1.50 are-really worth $2.50.
Come the first week of the sale
and make a good selection.
Ii Fraislis:
We scarcely know where to dip
in, the bargains are so many.
Here are Neglige Shirts at 39c,
worth in the regular way 75 c.
Odds and ends of Plain and
Fancy colored Shirts at our
underwear counter being closed
out at 29c, former price 63c and
74c. Flowing-end Silk Ties
bought to sell at at 50c go for 25c.
Fancy Percale Waists reduced
35c to 19c. Boys' Blouse Jer
sey Waists have fallen from 74c
to 39c.
And so we might go on giving items by the hour in every line of
merchandise. It's a case of must with us. With

No reservation of any hnd.
We have inaugurated one of the most extraordinary
sales in the history of the Clothing Trade. From to
day, and until we give up possession of our store Sep
tember 15th, we make a clear, clean-cut allowance of
25 per cent off your purchase of Ready-Made or

are marked in plain figures on each garment, and you
just pay 25 per cent less than you see on the ticket
The determination is to turn the goods into money
and not ship them back to our Philadelphia house. If
you miss this sale you lose money.
Examine our peerless stock, and see if we don't mean
just what we say. ,

OF THE
Vacation time is the most expen
sive of the year to those who
have boys. Our present prices
will more than make matters
even. Over 1,000 Blue Sailor
Suits slaughtered at 49c. The
Sailor Kilts now offered at 98c
are marvels of cheapness. Any
quantity of styles of Children's
Short-Pant Suits, sold the entire
season at S2.50, can now be
bought for $1.50. Large and
entire lines of Short-Pant Suits,
good value at $5, are yours for
$3-5- s
It will cost you no more to get a
first-class article in a shoe while
this sale lasts than an apology
for leather would cost elsewhere.
Ladies' Fine Kid Oxford Ties,
worth $1.25, go for 98c. Men's
B Calf Congress and Bals at
Si. 85, worth $2.25.
The prices on these of every make
and style are so ridiculously low
that you would think them a mis
quotation. Fit out the entire
family, and you'd not miss the
amount spent.
