Impressive Funeral Service at tha Elm Park
Methodist Episcopal Cburcb,
EULOGY BY REY. J. G. ECKRIAN
He Said the Many Good Deeds of
Harry Madison Will Remain as a
Fitting Memorial Among the Friends
Ho Left Behind Organizations That
Attended tho Funeral Many Beau
tiful Floral Tributes.
Accompanied by the nniflld bait of
drums and the subdued notes of the
lUes tbe body of Harry R. Madison
was consigned to earth at Forest Hill
ct-metery yesterday aftoruoou. The
details of the ssrvioes, the numerous
organizations that participated anil the
general air of sorrow attending the
last sad rites testified to the esteem in
which the deceased bad been held
among nil clauses of people.
Company B, of wbloh Mr. Madison
was first lieatenant, in command of
Captain Kellow and Lieutenant Kum
beck, and the field and staff officers of
the Thirteenth regiment maruhad to
tbe bonse of John Tnnstall on Wash
ington avenue at 1.30 o'clock and were
joined by tbe officers and companies of
the fire department. After a brief
service couducUd by Rev. J. G. Eck
ineti, the funeral cortege was escorted
'O the Elm Park church by Company
Ii. At the church the remains were
viewed after the particularly impres
sive services.
The casket rested inside the altar rail
and was draped with the stars ami
stripes. The sheathed sword of the
deceased laid across tbe foot of the cof
fin. Largo floral tributes, which occu
pied the platform, included a fao simile
of a ten-year marksman's badge from
Company D, an immense tablet, in
scribed in immortelles "Board of Of
ficers, Thirteenth Regiment, N. G. P.,
a maltose cross from Crystal Hose
company and other large pieces from
the board of tire engineers, Pnenix
Hose company nnd clerks of the L icka
wanna Iron and Steel company store.
The main gallery and the rear of tbe
luditomw were liilel with friends,
while the body of the cliuroh was oc
cupied by organiz itions and immedi
ate frieuds and relatives.
6EKV1CES ii THE CHURCH.
OwiDgtothe absence from the city
of R v. W. II. Pearce. D.D., pastor of
the E'm Park church, nnd Chaplain S.
C. Logan, of the Thirteenth regiment,
ttiB services were conduute 1 by Ruv. J.
ft. Eokmaii, D D.. presidium elder of
the Wyoming district, uesistvd by Rev.
Richard Hiorns and Kev. John Divy.
After lb" Elm Park church quartette
had sung ''I'm a Stranger," Mr. lliorns
read from I Corinthians, fifteenth
chapter: "There is but one glory of
the inoou and stars we shall not
nil sleep for we shall be cliauged
then shall come to puss what is writ
ten, death shall be swallowed ud in its
victory." The prayer offered by Mr.
Davy was followed by the slotting of
"My Heavenly Father's Home."
Dr. Eckman included in his funeral
sermon a fitting eulogy of the deceased.
He said ''It was clutraeteristic of Harry
Madison to live for others, and his up
right life, dignified bearing and cor
rect deportment penetrat-d the de
partments and organizations with
which hti was connected. His dveds
will remain a fitting memorial among
the friends he bus left behind. The
purity and beauty of the fbrul offer
ings are symbolic- of the departel, who
above ull was a Christian, a man of
prayer nnd oue who read the Bible.
"Hii was a many sided character of
which all sidas were gool. With for
titude and the courage of a hero be suf
fered the ravages of an illness of two
year, from which many would have
luid down to dio. Yt Mr. Madison
was mevk and unassuming, and with a
kind heart und gentle spirit reuchadout
to help his friends and went forward
to do Ids work in the nam') of God.
WE HAVK HIS EXAMPLE.
"The work is done, the pilgrimage
ended, l-.is joy is full, ui.d now others
have his example and cuu safely walk
in tbe putlis which he trod. So, after
knowing lie Ik where joy is evorlaiting.
those words of comment on a life so well
apsnt leave it unnecessary to attempt
words of comfort to his friends an 1
daughter."
The church services terminated with
the singiug of "Come, Y Disconso
late," and after many a last fond look
had been bestowed upon tbe remain',
the. casket was removed to the hoarse,
and the procession moved to Forest
Hill cimetery. Hre a brief service
was hub! nnd tbe final military farewell
fired over populur Harry Madison's
lust enrthly resting place.

COUNCILRIEN ON A JAUNT.
They Inspected Burke Brothers Quar
ries Near No. 7 Reservoir and
Were Afterward Dined.
At tho invitation of Burke Bros., a
party of city officials yesterday P'dd a
visit to the large quarries on tbe East
mountain operated by these pushing
contractor nnd enjoyed an afternoon
of rare pleasure. Tbe start was made
from the city hull at 2 o'cloek. The
private car of Superintendent Smith, of
the Erie and Wyoming Valley roal,
curried the party to the qu irries, which
are situated on either side of No. 7
reservoir, oue baing on tho Licki
w.iuna lim and the other on the Erie
and Wyoming roal.
The quarry on tho Erie and Wyom
ing sidd was the one to which inoit at
tention was paid, When the party
alightel at th base of the monuUin an
inspiring Bight met their gazi. The
whole mountain side was alive with a
small army of bny men and as thuy
were of many nations and tongua, it
was to the imaginative mind a rrmin
dsr of the operations at the Towr of
Babel. A the aaooiit was made from
ledge to ledge, the magnitude of the
operations carried on there dawnod
upon the visitors. To give one au idea
of the colossal proportions of the work,
it is but neeessary to state tnat half a
doz-'n blacksmiths besides helpers are
continually employed at. repairing and
sharpening tools.
The stone which is quarried ont from
this place is scientifically known as
conglomerate rock nud commonly
culled rouxu granite, It Is now being
cut for bridge work in Utica and the
stone is hewed Into blook as largi as
can be conveniently transported. O.i-
DlfCJ, -which was recently quarried,
measured 30 ft. by 0 ft. 2 iu. Of course
it could not well be transported in bulk
and cous'.-qusntly w is broken up into
inuriMtuDie sizes. lhe blocks ure till
dressod at the qiurry and when placed
aboard cars ui ready to bo set. It hue
been found possible to compete for
work in Batavia, N. Y., and use the
stone from tbe Scrantou quarry, not
withstanding that tU4 freight is $4.50 a
ton.
The visitors expressed themselves us
being satiffud that thura ig no need of
Koiug out of our own midst for stone
no matter what quality or quantity is
desired. The return trip was made
after tiie workings had beou thor
oughly insp?cte.l and upon the arrival
of the pirty in this city special electric
oars vrtt in waiting to trunsfer them
to the Elk restaurant, where the party
drove away the tiring effect of moun
tain climbing.

The many friends of George W.

of withdrawals, deals and unreasonable
promises, Mr. Oill stands above bis
custor in the political nrenu with the
iiuple statement that he Is working
for the Republican nomination for
Bheriff and that he expsuts to win. lie
is a man of the people and at present
occupies a position of trust with thf
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
than wtiich there Is no company in the
United States which pays more strict
attention to the quality of men it
stl.cts for responsible positions. A
brief peu picture of such a one seems
particularly nppropos at this time.
(SKETCH OF MU. OKELL.
George Washington Okell was born
in Scranton Nov. 27, lb 10, on Mill
street, and today lives but a few doors
from the scene of bis birth. Liks tbe
great mats of American boys he began
his career among tbe laboring class,
and from the poorly paid breaker boy
has risen to oue of the most responsi
ble positions in the gift of a large cor
poration solely through honesty und
ability. Such a climb without the use
of modern ''pulls" or wealth is typical
of an American in the full sense of tbe
word, and is particularly typical of the
progressiveuess of the subject of this
sketch.
Mr. Okell's stock in trade was a com
mon school educatiou received in
Scranton when he began bis first work
us a breaker boy at the old Diamond
mines, He next sought employment
as a furnace dour tender in the old roll
ing mill of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company. By strict attention to
duty he so merited the confidence of
ibe company thut be rapidly gradu
ated from one position to unother until
eighteen yeurs ago be was appoiuted
superintendent of tbe timber lands of
the company. That is his present po
sition. There is nothing to chroniole con
cerning the political offices held by Mr.
Okell from tbe (act that be never held
any; hie political experience has, nntil
now, beau confined to the lines of the
Republican party, where be has always
been found us the man wbowould labor
indefatigably to promote any proper Hue
of work whiali would redound to the
benefit of bis party, It is for these past
services that he now looks to the
party for reward, and Mr. Okell makes
uo concealment of bis position in this
respect,
STEPPED ASIDE THREE YEARS AQO.
There ure not many candidates who
could be induced to relinquish, a nomi
nation canvass us Mr, O.tell did, under
the circumstuneus wbicli surround. d
his shrievalty nomination canvass lu
lS'Jl. During that contest he had for
an opponent John 8. LsTouche, and at
the ltqii- si of party leaders retired iu
lavor of Mr. La louche for tbe sake of
harmony. At that time men high iu
the councils of the Republican party
promised their support to Mr. Okell
during this oampiign,and it is a source
of gratification to him that these men
bave kept their word.
It is the boast of Mr. Okell's friends
thut many of tbe prominent Republi
cans, among them Judge Arcbbald and
Suuator Wutres, who were elected to
i.igh t dikes, owed their victories in a
measure to the efforts of tbe subject of
this article. These are but casual in
stances of the work done by Mr. Okell
and lor which ho feels secure in tbe
b. liiif that he will be rewarded.
Another fact which promises to cnt a
very favorable figure in Mr. Oueli's
caudlducy is that be is a man of the
people, jrepresents the healthful growth
of poor but eventually sturdy and suc
cessful American manhood nnd will
without doubt receive the almost uu-

'Mvided support of the rank and file.
His standiuir among the wnrkingmen,
however, is not one whit different than
bis standing uinong a more financially
lortnnate class. To all he is Georui.
Okell without the prefix of "mister,"
and with the middle mime " Washing
ton" the candidate tliink- he is sulll
ciently endowed with titles.
HE POSSESSES A CLEAN RECOUD.
After eveu so brief a comment on his
public life ami history it seems scarce
ly necessary to dwell up m Mr. Okell's
cbatacter. It is sumcixnt to state that
Ids name and character ure clean and
have betn kept aloof from any under
takings which could retisct discredit
upon their owner.
Th demands made upon Mr. Okoll
by virtue of his position with the
Lackawanna Iron and 1 Steel company
have not deterred bim from lending bis
influence and support to many of
Scranton's seml-publio and wholly
public organiz itions. To his unselfish
efforts and willingneis to work where
duty culls htm, is due in a great degree
the success of many losal organiz itions.
In this respect the fire department
might be mentioned. Mr. O.iell has
been a fireman since be was a boy und
was at one time foreman of the Lady
Washington company. He is at present
an active and one of the most valued
members of the Pbenix Hose com
pany. Since Mr. Okoll began an active can
vass about tiie city und county protes
tutlons of support aud predictions of
success have come unsolicited from all
classes of peoplo. Tilts faot of itself
might be construed us the keynote of
Mr. Okell's hope for election, his
popularity being confined to uo partic
ular constituency.
GLOBE SHOE STCRE.
Evans & Powell Are Doing a Big mi
ne is.
Notwithstanding "hard times" aud
a continued spell of hot weather the
firm of Evans & Powell, proprietors of
the Globe Shoe Store, 227 Lackawanna
avenue, continues to do a good busi
ness. This is saying a groat deal when
it is considered that summer weather
usually means a stringent relaxation in
the shoe trade more tbau in other
enterprises.
Although E. E. Evans and S, B.
Powell, comprising the firm and suc
ceeding Evain Bros., removed their
business from 123 South Main avenue,
April 1, a critical periol of the year to
make such a change, their tra ie has
steadily increased and tho firm has es
tablished itself as one of tho foremost in
push and enterprise in the central citv
The only spicialtyof their large and well
stocked emporium is tho desire to please
customers, nud to this end it is the aim
of the firm to always have for silo at
the lowest possible price whatever par
ticular kind of footwear a customer
may desire.
That the firm's purpose to please their
trade is appreciated, and that their es
tablishment is already on an equal
plan with other large Scranton enter
prises is evidenced by the air of bustle
and prosperity about the store.

lios Department
John Reese, the city bill poster, will
be arrested today, says Chief of Police
Simpson. The charge will be that of
violating tbe citv ordinances, and the
direct offense with which he will be
accused is that of disfiguring the sp
pearanoo of our beautiful central oity
streets by tacking advertising banners
on telegraph poles.
It is asserted that Reese was denied
permission to do this very thing when

thorities, but in the face of the refusal
lie proceeded to tack np tbe fiigs.

A party living on Spruce street will
testify that he saw R-ose at the forbid
