Ar-.drew McHugh, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard McHugh, of Main avenue,
West Side, the boy whose strange dis
appearance was noted exclusively in
yesterday's Tribune, Is still missing
Ureat excitement prevails amonff the
friends and relatives of the McHugh
family, and every effort Is being made
to discover the boy's whereabouts,
Searching parties nre out, the police
are on the lookout and out-of-town pa
pers are printing notices of the mys
terlous case.
Tuesday 'afternoon tho boy was seen
by acquaintances at the Base Hall park
and last night the only trustworthy
clue was received by Hlchard McHugh
the boy's father.
l'ccklcnick fcnw lllm.
Charles Decklenlck Is a fireman on th
Delaware, Lnckwanna and Western
railroad, southern division. He lives
on the Wert Side, and last night re
ported that he had seen Andrew, In
company with an old gentleman on the
road near Greenville, commonly known
as Nay Aug.
The old man wns leading the child
by the hand and the pair were traveling
east.
Andrew waved his hand to the brake-
man as the train rushed by.
Immediately upon receipt of this
news tho father set out with several
friends for Nay Aug in senrch of his
son. At midnight he had not returned
The family Is grief-stricken.
I'ntlicr Is lihcnrtcncd.
Mr. McHugh wns huntlnR all of yes
terday nnd as each report proved false,
the father became more and more dis
heartened.
Several predictions have open volun
teered as to Andrew's fate. Some ven
ture that the lad went swimming and
met with an accident; others that he
has been led away by some abductor,
THAT "ILL OF MR. COBB'S.
City Solicitor Torrcy's Opinion with Ro
card to It.
Arising from the refusal of the audit
ing committee of councils ito approve
of the bill of 1325 of F. M. Cobb against
the city, ! a nice legal point that City
Solicitor Torrey has not yet passed
upon. The bill was not approved be
cause It was feared If It had been that
action would make the city liable for
the damage suit which has been In
stituted against the city in the amount
of $1,000 by Mutorman William
Sweeney, whose leg was broken by the
accident.
The bill has not been handed to Mr.
Torrey yet and he knows nothing of the
facts except whnt he read hastily In
the papers. However, he does not be
lieve that If the bill should be paid that
the fact would militate against the
city In the action In trespass of Motor-
man Sweeney now pending.
The horse was driven by the perman
erot man of the Hook and Ladder
company when it ran away, and was
not In use in going to or from a fire.
Chief Ferber was in attendance at the
funeral of the late Captain William
Kellow, and the city officials were there,
the chief among them, but it hat would
not be regarded as acting in an official
capacity, Mr. Torrey thinks, even
though councils had passed a resolu
tion agreeing to attend the funeral
He does not believe that It would make
the city liable for any accident that
might arise In which, as in this case,
a city official had been concerned.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
FIno Quarters That William Blumo & Son
llavo Fitted I p.
The latest addition to the already
numerous business concerns of Scran
ton is the new carriage repository of
William Blume & Son, who have now in
conjunction with their carriage factory
opened a most attractive showroom at
524 Spruce street, opposite court house,
which Is the finest in the state to be
found outside of Philadelphia.
Their stock, numbering over 250 Jobs,
consisting of buggies, carriages, phae
tons, surrles, traps, carts and business
wagons, and embraces over fifty dif
ferent stylos. It is the purpose of
Hlume & Son to supply a long-felt want
In this city. Hitherto whenever any
of our prominent citizens have needed
a fine carriage they have usually had to
go to New York or Philadelphia to pur
chase such work. There Is now no
excuse why this measure should be re
sorted to, as. William Hlume & Son, be
sides being themselves manufacturers,
represent the leading makers of the
country, nnd their Btock Is a large nnd
varied collodion of very fine vehicles,
and for prices they cannot be excelled
In either of the cities above mentioned.
With the opening of the new boulevard
there is no reaBon why Bernntonlnns
should not have a display of carriages
beflttings thoir rank nnd prosperity.
Messrs. Blume & Son have nlready sup
plied some of the finest vehicles to bo
seen In our city, but there Hre many of
our wealthy citizens who nre yet under
the erroneous Impression that when
they need a fine carrlnge they must go
outside of our own city to get It.
It Is also the Intention of the firm to
manufacture the finer grades of work,
as they have the machinery and skilled
workmanship with which to do this If
they get market for It.
One of the specialties which this firm
has long endeavored to bring before the
Scranton public is tho Rubber Tire Hall
Hearing Axle Huggy. The only one ever
made In this city was made by Blume &
Son, and Is now in the possession of
John T. Richards, who hits subjected
the vehicle to tho most severe test, with
the result that It gives every satis
faction, and Mr. Richards is very well
pleased with and highly endorses this
buggy.
In addition to their Btock of carriages
and wagons they curry also, a fine line
of harness, rufrs, whips and every re
quisite of carriage furnishings. Mr.
Hlume, sr., has been In business In
this city for the last thirty years, and
It is o be hoped that our business men
and citizens generally will show their
local patriotism by giving him and his
son their liberal patronage in the new
enterprise which they have undertaken.
PU1MLS OF THE COUNTY.
Those Who Secured flood Averages in
Saturday's Kxnmlnntion.
Examinations for pupils In the coun-
tyschools who have completed the com
mon branches were held on Saturday,
May 4, at nine centers: Carbondale,
Jermyn, Olyphant, Dickson, Taylor,
Old Forge, Dalton, Clark's Summit
and Moscow.
Kach examination was conducted by
a committee or five teachers appointed
by the county superintendent. These
are preliminary examinations and
those pupils who are successful here
may enter the final examination, to be
held in Liberty hall, Scranton, May IS,
Those who are successful in the final
receive the common school diploma,
Last Saturday was an unusually fine
day and the central examinations were
well attended. The larges classes were
those at Jermyn and Olyphnnt, each of
which contained forty candidates. The
whole number examined was 224. This
is nearly double the number examined
last year.
Some of the first-rank pupils nre
Anna L. McCarty, Mayflold, average, 96
per cent. Hannah McCarty, Mayfleld,
average, 85 per cent; Mabel Decker,
North Ablngton, average, 98 per, cent;
Grace Dershimer, Newton, average, 93
per cent.; Howard Ackerly, South
Ablngton, average, 91 per cent.; Anna
Geary, Ransom, average, 86 per cent.;
Lizzie Williams, Taylor, average, 87
per cent.; Elsie WeBcott, Mooslc, aver
age, 84 per cent. Other reports have
not yet been received.
This shows that the plan of county
graduations in common branches Is
growing rapidly into popularity. The
fact that Superintendent Taylor was
able to visit six of these examinations
during the day proves that this county
la well provided with facilities for
travel.
FIRE MARSHAL BILL.
Moosuro Creating That Office In Third
Class Cities Will Soon Ho a Law..
A letter has been received by Secre
tary Atherton, of the board of trade,
from Representative Alex T. Connell,
statins that the bill for creating the
office of fire -marshal In cities of the
third clnss had passed the senate, and
that there was no opposition to the
measure in the house and that, with a
fair attendance, the bill would pnss. It
Is expected that the bill will come be
fore the house for a second reading
this week, and In the event of its be
coming a law. Mayor Connell will ap
point a fire marshal.
The question wan discussed at the
March meeting- of the board of trade,
when resolutions were passed favoring
the enactment of a law creating the
office of fire marshal In cities of the
third class, whose duties It would be to
thoroughly Investigate the origin of all
res, and, if of an Incendiary charac
ter, to bring. If possible, the guilty
parties to Justice. A copy of these
resolution was sent to each local repre
sentative at Harrlsburg, who have
worked zealously for the passage of the
bill.
WILD AND HUNGRY RUSH.
Scrnmblo of tho L'ntcrrlfiod in Lacka

Alexander McCormlck, of Mooslc, was
on Feb. 19 elected to the office of clerk
of the records of Lackawanna town
ship, where the tariff for revenue only
and free silver element predominates.
He grew tired of abiding in that surpris
ing portion of the county, and moved a
few weeks ago across the line into
Avoca borough.
To succeed him there Is a wild and
hungry rush and the patriots are as
numerous as snowflakes in a storm.

HURLED TO INSTANT DEATH
Terrible Fate of Arthur O'Malia and
James Dclancy at West Avoca.
WAY THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED
Tho Men Wero Driving Over a Railroad
Crossing Which Is Somewhat Danger
ous and Did Not See tho Locomo
tive or Hear the Warnings Given.
A terrible accident, which caused a
thrill of horror to pass through the dis
trict, occurred at tho West Avoca cross
ing of the Erlo and Wyoming Valley
railroad yesterday afternoon, by which
Arthur O Malla, a liquor salesman,
and James Delnney, a saloon-keeper,
both of Urowntown, near Plttston,
were Instantly killed.
Mr. O'Malia was employed by the
firm of Evans & O'Malia, wholesale
liquor dealers, on South Main street
Plttston, and was returning after work
ing his usual route. He had left home
about 8 o'clock In the morning, accom
panied by Mr. Delnney, and while, on
their return, driving over the West
Avoca rrosslng, It Is presumed that
they failed to observe the approaching
locomotive, which dashed Into the rig,
and killed the horse Instantly. O'Malia
was thrown high Into the air, while
Delaney was hurled onto the pilot.
Willing hands Immediately went to
the assistance of the men, but O'Malia
was found to be beyond assistance. De
laney was found to be mortally injured
and despite all efforts he died In less
than thirty minutes.
Many persons who were on the spot
said that the two young men were en
gaged In conversation and were un
mindful of their surroundings, and as
there were no gates at the crossing,
they did not observe that the horse was
crossing the track. When they had
reached the center of the track the
saw a girl waving her hands in a fran
tic manner and warning them of their
perilous position.
They Saw Thoir Peril.
They evidently realized the extreme
danger, as one of the men was seen to
apply the whip, while the other man
attempted to stop the horse. This de
lay, caused by their embarrassment,
proved fatal, aa the engineer was un
able to reverse his engine In time.
There are no gates at the crossing, but
an automatic electric bell has been ar
ranged which acts as a warning when a
train is approaching. The engine,
which was running light, was in charge
of Engineer William O'Hara, of Dun
more, who, it Is asserted, gave the cus
tomary warning by bell and by sound
ing the whistle. The crossing Is, how
ever, at all times dangerous, as build
ings have been erected on either side,
rendering It difficult to see any ap
proaching trains unless the traveler
stands on, or very near, the track.
The remains were removed to the Mc
Carty restaurant to await the arrival of
the coroner. Mr. O'Malia was 23 years
of age and a son of Arthur O'Malia, of
Browntown, and a brother of Patrick
O'Malia, of the firm of Evans & O'Ma
lia. Mr. Delaney was 39 years of age,
and a son of James Delaney, of Port
Griffith, welghmaster at the Ewen
breaker. He is also a brother of Mi
chael Delaney, Justice of the peace of
Jenkins. He is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Anna McCormlck, daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel McCormlck,
of Port OrlfTith. There are two children
issue of the marriage, Daniel and Cella,
aged 5 and 3 years. For a number of
years Mr. Delaney was employed as
salesman In Thomas Moloney's store,
and afterwards as postoirtce clerk un
der S. B. Bennett, after which he acted
as a mall carrier.
Railroad Company's Explanation.
An official of the Erie and Wyoming
railroad, In conversation with a Trib
une reporter last evening, said that the
accident was due to the carelessness of
the two men who were driving.
The engineer gave the proper signals,
both by bell and sounding the whistle.
The electric crossing bell was also in
good working order, and was tested Im
mediately after the accident occurred
with satisfactory results.
T1IROOPS RETURN THANKS.
Volunteer Fireman's Association tho
Recipients.
A meeting of the Volunteer Firemen's
association was held at Durr's hall, on
Lnckawanna avenue last evening. At
the meeting prior resolutions that had
been passed relative to the death of Dr.
George S. Throop were engrossed beau
tifully, the work being from the artistic
pen of P. W. Costello, and presented to
the parents of the deceased, and last
evenls the following letter was re
ceived: To tho Officers and Members of the Volun
teer Firemen's Mutual Benefit Associa
tion of the City of Scranton.
Gentlomen We are delighted with your
kind remembrance of our son, Dr. George
S. Throop, who was always an ervthus
lastlo member of your order during the
time he was permitted by Providence to
remain with you, or us.
Assuring you of our high appreciation
of the kindness shown us, by presenting a
copy of your resolutions, so beautifully
engrossed, In frame, wo remain, very rev
rcBpectfully yours,
Dr. and Mrs. B. H. Throop.
Four candidates were initiated and
applications were 'received from six
gentlemen. The committee on by-laws
reported progress and will meet at the
Nay Aug Engine house next Monday
evening.
This committee has In its hands the
task of remodeling the by-laws of the
association. It now numbers upwards
of 200 members and Is constantly grow
ing, and the same moss-grown laws,
under which the association, worked
years ngo when Scranton was known
as Slocum Hollow, are too backward for
a live, progressive society In the enter
prising Electric City.
A. E. Vorhls had been delegated to
name the young son of Joseph Hall, a
veteran and enthusiastic fireman, and
Mr. Vorhls reported that he called the
young man Judson Volunteer Hall.

Mayor Will Sl;n the Ordinance
day.
To
File of select council No. 1, which in
everyday language means the first or
dinance enacted by the upper branch
In the present fiscal year, will be signed
by Mayor Connell today. City Clerk
Lavelle transmitted the document to
the mayor's department last evening,
The ordlnapce Is a very Important
one aside from the distinction It en-
Joys of being the first this year; it pro
vides for the paving of Penn avenue
between Lackawanna avenue and
Spruce street with asphalt pave, and
the ripping up of the foul-smelling, disease-breeding
wooden blocks that ab
sorb all the abominable odors of the
fish markets.
The city agrees to pay half of the
expense of paving, and the property
owners will do the rest. After the ordln
ance becomes a law It will be in order
for the city clerk to advertise for bids
for the contract of the work; and every
resident of the city will wish It a God
speed.

ECHOES OF THE RAIN STORM
Lightning Struck a Dwelling in tho North
InJ.
During the heavy thunder and rain
storm of yesterday afternoon the
flashes of lightning were sharp and
near, but the only report of any dam
age being done comes from the North
End, where the house on Wilbur street,
owned by Thomas Harrington, and oc
cupied by the family of Thomas Lands-
ton, was struck, but not greatly dam
aged. i ,
The bolt struck the chimney and
passed down Into the cellar, where It
dug a hole near the foundation walls.
The tenant was disturbed from the
pleasant diversion of adjusting a stove
pipe. The lightning rendered him un
conscious for a few minutes. The
chimney was knocked off the roof nnd
the damage is estimated at about $50
