JOHN B. SMITH IS DYING

Last Xi.jlit.
END IS HOURLY EXPECTED
President of tho Lrlo and Wyoming Vol
ley Itoud Uasltccn Demented for Soma
Time-Afflicted with Dlubclis.
Sketch of Ills Career.
At an early hour this morning it was
announced at John U. Smith's residence
n Dwimmre that he could live, only a
few hours. He was then slowly slnk-
ng, and his death is momentarily ex
pected.
Mr. Smith had been allllcted wltn aia-
botls for three years, but the disease
did not seriously uft'eet him until about
ten days ngo, und, although he has been
rrutlonal for nearly a week, he was
nut conllned to his bed until yesterday.
On Sunday he was able to walk along
the porch and was up and about me
house dining Monday. He had been
attended by Ir. N. Y. Leet for some
time.
Last night Dr. Leet went to Dunmore
to remain at Mr. Smith's bedside dur
ing the night. In the early evening it
was thought Unit the sick man could
not live during the night.
At 1.45 o'clock this morning the fami
ly was gathered about the bedside and
waiting for ithe end.
Sketch of Mr. Smith's Life.
Mr. Smith was born in Sullivan coun
ty, New York, June 17, 1815, and wua a
Eon of Captain James Smith, a native
of Connecticut, who served in the war
of 1S1L'. The elder Smith was a con.
tiucitor. The son received ills only
school education 'in 'the common school
of Carbondale and vicinity. From the
tibme he wa.s 15 years of age he earned
his own living, lie was lirst a me
cha,ntc's apprentice and gradually
worked his way tip until for many
years he has been known ios one of the
most prominent railroad olllclals In this
KccMon of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Smith ontei'Pd the employ of Iths
Delaware and Hudson Canal company
when but 15 years old, nnd the follow
ing year, is:il, began to letirn the trade
of a machinist, wh5ch he continued foi
live years. From 1S4S to 1S50 he was
employed as i mechanical draughts
man by the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany; from 1S50 until 1HNG he was the
ganeral superintendent of that com
pany's railroad. In May, 1SSC, he was
elected president of the Ki-ie and Wy
oming Valley railroad and retained h'.a
olllce as general superintendent of th3
coal company.
Tame as un Inventor.
Although conspicuous as a railroad
and coal olHclal Mr. Smith was well
known as an Inventor. He devised
numerous patents, c-hielly the fluve-
cyllnder locomotives. The idea hint
been advanced and tried by many, but
Mr. Smith's invention was the llrs-.t to
bo ipetatod succeusfully. Several are
now in use on ithe Krie ind Wyoming
road.
Mr. Smith first maided In Dunmore
in 1S50 and since then his ndmlnl.mtra
tion of the affairs of 'the Pennsylvania
Coal company for forty-five years has
contributed largely toward the de
velopment of JMttston, Dunmore and
Haiwley.
He took an active Interest n public
affairs, especially as they related to the
borough of Dunmore, and was the firm
friend of wise public 'Improvement. In
the future of the borough he had great
confidence, and for that reason wua
opposed to having it lose Jts identity
by becoming a portion of the city of
Scranton.
When the Pennsylvania Coal conv
pany decided to abandon its plctur
esque gravity road and the Erie and
Wyoming Valley Railroad company
was organized to conrtruat a uteam
road to supplant the gravity from
Plttston to Hawley, Mr. Smith was ee
leoted for 'the responsible -position of
president of the new company. To the
duties of that oHIce he brought the
same executive aMlity and genius foi
looking after di'lails Ithat had marked
his administration of the Coal com
pany's buslners, and the steady pro.
gross the railroad company has made
was due not a Uttlo to the conservative
guidance that It received from Mr
Smith.
Interest In Charitable Work.
Mr. Smith was recognized as the most
public (spirited citizen and Wais a mem
ber of the Dunmore Presbyterian
church, which owed much to lli-ls liber
ality. Charitable Institutions of this
vicinity received many gifts of land and
money from him.
HE IS HERE TO STAY.
An Attempt to Supplunt J. K. Williams
Our Directory Publisher.
Two years ngo J. K. Williams, pub
lisher of the Wllkes-Rarre, Rlnghnmton
and Kl in Ira. directories, came to this
city with the endorsement of our board
of trade, to furnish our citizens a dl
rectory of Scranton His first Issue was
an Improvement over all previous dl
rectories of this city, and lust year's
book has given general satisfaction.
Lant & Silv-ernall, who a few years ngo
published the directory, but abandoned
the enterprise, owing to the want of
ability to handle the work satlsfactorl
ly to the public, aire now trying to sup
plant Mr. Williams. In 18S6 the Scran
ton board of trade being dissatisfied
with Lant's -directory encouraged Mr.
Webb to publish the directory. The
subsequent year Williams was en
dorsed by the board as a proper person
to issue the work. The trouble will be
of tdiort duration, as the public are at
Islled with their present publisher and
will rully to his support. He Is ener
getic, has enterprising qualities that
are In keeping with the growth and
reputation of the city, and has ppnrcd
neither labor nor expense to make a
complete and reliable directory. He is
In the field to stay. Scranton Itepubll
can, Jan. 15, 1S8D.
Since 1S89 Mr. Williams hns had two
fights for this city and has whipped
them both. He Is having a light now,
but reports he has the majority of the
circulation. Mr. Williams Is the larg
est directory publisher in this state and
proposes to become a citizen of Scran
ton and make this his home office. Adv.

When the ordinance ' came up for

Thomas, of th.- Founth ward, took the
floor and made a speech opposing It.
'Personally it makes llttla difference
to me whether this ordinance passes or
not," said Mr. Thomas, "but this is
Fitch a sweeping measure that It deep
ly concerns the public. I can not go on
record a3 favoring ithls ordinance, as
it will tie our hands and prevent any
other company from coming In heiv.
I"m not -Willing to give the interests of
the whole people of this city to one com

SAVED BY AN IRON KOI).
Frank Sweeney's Narrow I'.scapo from
Fatal Injury at Hotel Jcrmyn.
Frank Sweeney, employed by Con

frame work of tho Hotel Jcrmyn, had
a narrow escape from serious Injury
yesterday afternoon.
He was woiking on beams on the
fifth story, about sixty feet above the
first floor, whi'h he toppled forward
and fell. Whrn he reached the fourth
story his body struck an Iron roil and
wltih rare presence of mind he grasped
It and retained hla hold until rescued
from his perilous position.
There are no floors in the buildlntj
yet, and had not the Iron rod provl
deutlally stopped Mr. Sweeney's fall he
would have plunged downward to the
first floor and probably sustained fatal
injuring, as a pile of Iron beams occu
pied the floor space at the point where
he would have fallen.
