DUATII OF MRS. SCR ANTON.
InJsu l.ifo Filled with ISeuuty and Uuud
Deeds.
Mm, I'urnellti W. Scranton, relict of
the lute Joseph II. Serunton. died yes
terday munilng ut uYluck. It was
Iter Hevetity-.seunnil birthday. The fu
neral will be held Monday afternoon
at L'.IIO o'clock ut the house, and private
Interment by her relatives and near
friends will be made In the family buri
al rlmpel ill the lmnuiore cemetery.
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. Scranton, of this city, president of
the Scranton (las and Water company;
Walter Scranton. of IJrick Church. N.
J., president of the Lackawanna Iron
nnd Steel company; Mr. Alice Adam,
of New York, and Mrs. Nellie Shoe
maker, wife of Dr. Shoemaker, ef
Wilkes-Harre, and Arthur Scruntin,
who is in Germany. 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.

SCRANTON AHEAD AS USUAL
Steam Heat Company to Operate in

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. Ev
ans; assistants, T. F. Mnrnn, J. Hums
conductor of dances, F. McDonough

BODY (IT TO PIECES.
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.

ance of the part songs nnd the excel
lent solo singing of John T. Watklns,
Tom Ueynon, P. II. Warren and Will

In fact, much superior to the metro
politan talent generally heard here.
There l a desire among the promoters
of things musical in Scranton to have
the Cambro-Amerlcan Concert club
give a series of concerts at the Young
Men's Christian Association hall, and

TIIK DEKKY WINNER.
It llaa a Very Hcnllstlo Rue Track
Scene.
It can be said In favor of "The Derby
Winner" that it has one of the best
racing scenes ever put on the stage in
this city. Large audiences saw it yes
terday, afternoon und evening, at the
Academy of Muslo und enjoyed It
hugely.
"The Derby Winner" Is not an extra
ordinary comedy-drama, but then no
one cares much ubout the dlaloirue In
ruclng plays. People want to see the
racing und the realistic effects, and
"The Derby Winner" leads them all

. lib iviuiii in nib i uuii.
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.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness ia
the styles and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction .
