Mm. Cornelia' Wulkcr Sciunton came from an old and well-known western Massachusetts family. Her paternal Krutiilluther. Judne William Walker, was an anient revolutionary patriot uiul olllecr in the Continental tinny Ho riiughl in the ltiittle of Hunker Hill and was with Montgomery and Arnold In the attack on IJueUec. and was. with the army in the disastrous retreat from Canada. He fought along side Stark at lieiiiiiugton, nnd after ward assited in Durgoyne's capture at Saratoga. He Joined Washington's lories in New Jersey tinil took part In the liuttle of Trenton, I'.rundy wine and other actions. At'terthewarJudge Walker, like many other men of his time, invested largely In the then wild lands of western New York. He was elected county Judge of Iierkshlre county and served about thirty years In that capacity. The son, William 1". Walker, father of Mrs. Scrunton, succeeded to his father's various interests and was also a Judge of Iierkshlre county. Mrs. Sei'iintoii.was born Feb. 22, 1S23, and spent her childhood in beautiful Iierkshlre county, Mass. She was mar ried to Joseph II. Scranton July 13, ls4:i. After a two years' residence in (ieorgia she came to Scranton in 1S47 and lived here ever since. Joseph H. Scranton died In 172. They had six children, five of whom are living, W. W.

One daughter, Mrs. Frances LeHoy, is dead. Mrs. Serunton's early married life anil later years especially exemplllied tho peculiar New lOngland training re ceived in her girlhood. These ideas of her New England home she applied in her especial devotion to children and friend: those being to hr a. first thought and a first Interest. For the last fifteen years she had been an Invalid and unable to leave the city or go further away from home than the distance included in drives of a few miles. She made no complaint and even bore with smiles a martyrdom of suffering, of which but little idea can be formed. She took a lively Interest in affairs generally, had a keen sense of humor and kept well posted on the best literature of the day. Her sunny disposition and fund of In formation on all sorts of subjects made her a delightful companion for both old and young. ly her children she was adored, and by others who knew her well she was loved as well as admired. Of her many charitable deeds even many of her best friends have but a slight conception. No cause, if worthy, was too Insignillcant, to engage her at tention and receive from her substan tial assistance; in fact, her propensity for giving, and giving liberalry, was so great as to often lead her to give out of proportion to her means. In her death hundreds of friends and ac quaintances feel that they have sus tained a personal loss. KICVCLK CLUB SMOKER. Pleasant Time at tho Club House on Washington Avenue.

SCRANTON AHEAD AS USUAL Steam Heat Company to Operate in - ' rhilatlelphiu. rKO.IKCT was kei-t secret Charter only a Dav Old When on Thurs day u Hill Uiuittlng the 1 so of Streets Wus Introduced In Philadelphia Councils -Company's Plans. Three well known Scranton business men In conjunction with two men from other cities have been incorporated Into a company and propose establishing In Philadelphia an enterprise of magni tude which will require hundreds . of thousands of dollars of capital. These men are Hubert Heeves, superintendent of the Scranton Gas and Water com pany; Carl W. McKlnney, general man ager of the Duckawanna Iron and Steel company, and John Taylor, capitalist, of this city, und H. Page, of Albany, and Juiucs K. Hayes, of Cumden, N. J. The company Is the Pennsylvania Heat, Light and Power company, whose prime object Is to transmit steam for power and heat In Philadelphia. The tl cut decisive step since the grant ing of the company charter was taken Thursday night, when there was Intro duced into the Philadelphia councils a bill In the Interests of the company. The bill wan referred to committee und provides for the use of uny street or alley in the city not occupied by street railways und not over forty feet with'. To lay pipes for transmitting heat, power und light Is spec Hied us the com pany's purpose. The company will furnish a bond of $r.0,oi!0 to begin opera tions withlng six months and complete Its work in live years or less. Scheme Kept Very Unlet. The i hat ter was granted as recently as Wednesday of this week und It Is a significant fact that on the following day the bill was Introduced in the Philadelphia councils. The project was kept uluiost a secret and was known In Philadelphia only after the Introduc tion of the bill In councils. Concerning the plans of the company Mr. lteeves said yesterday to a Tribune reporter; "Scranton Is probably tho smallest city in the country having a large steam conduit aystem In successful operation, and many of the larger cities are not yet quite up to so new a thing. Philadelphia Is the largest city In the United States without, an underground steam system and I and the gentlemen with whom 1 am associated feel very much gratified at being first In the field." "Is the project a legitimate Intention, or do you propose to get the Philadel phia ordinance through and then sell your franchise and charter?" asked the reporter. "It Is purely business," said Mr. Reeves. "We shall begin very soon to Bell stock in our company and within a few months begin to lay pipes. That the steam underground system is now an assured success.was proved In Scran ton during the recent blizzard. A tem perature of SO degrees was maintained In many buildings, while in cases where individual plants were used it was im possible to keep warm." Further conversation Indicated that the new company proposes pushing Its plans to the fullest possible extent. PLUMBERS' ANNUAL HALL. It Attracted a Largo Crowd to Turner Hall l ast Night. The sturdy men who carry kits, wipe joints and make the life of the house holder miserable in cold weather held a ball at Turner hall last night. They form an organization known as Local Plumbers' union, No. AO, and last night's was their third annual ball. As the members waltzed and glided over the smooth floor of Turner hall with their wives, sisters or other fel low's sisters, they did not look like the pirates that the comic paper would have the public believe they are. On the contrary they were a fine, manly looking body of men, and they enjoyed their night's outing as only the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow can. The grand march be gan at 8.45 and was led by Joseph Ev ans and Miss Janet Lewis. Over 100 couples were in line. The committees In charge of the ball were:' Master of ceremonies, J. F.

Tragic Death of Dennis Morrlsscy, of Aloostc, on D. &. II. Trucks. Dennis Morrlsscy, of Mooslc, was found dead at 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing on the Delaware and Hudson rail road tracks between Mlnooka. Junc tion and the Mooslc station. The body was horribly mutilated nnd could be Identified only by the clothing. The crew of the fast south-bound freight trnln observed the parts of a man's body along the tracks and the conductor stopped tho train. The re mains were gathered up und removed to the water tank at Mooslc and word left that a man had been killed. Some of the residents of Mooslc identified the clothing and word was sent to the de ceased man's home, which is but a short distnnce below the station. In the afternoon Coroner Kelley went down and empaneled a jury. Every witness who could give any material evidence was examined, but nothing tended to allow foul play, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered by the jury. The facts appear to show that Morrlsscy had become Intoxicated and wandered up the railroad and was struck by idle of the passing trains. He had received his month's pay, but only a few cents were found on bis clothing. Even the coin in his pocket was muti lated by the wheels. The condition of the scattered remains would Indicate that a long trip of cars had passed over him. Morrlsscy wns about 53 years of age and leaves a wife and grown up family. He was wi II known, but of late years hail not circulated among his fellow men. He was at one time a prominent man of the southern part of the county. DF.lll'T AT CARUOXUALC.

When tbe advertising atmosphere is so heavily charged with exaggeration, it is well to remember who the honest advertisers are. Windy assertions about GKEAT reductions advertising goods at impossible prices, lind no lodging place in the minds of intelligent people.
