The custom of decorating' Braves is

Army of the Republic, Issued the first

morial Day. It was dated May B, 18SS,
and the following Is an excerpt from It:
Let us. then, at the time appointed,
gather around the sacred rfnilns of
our late brothers and garland the pas
sionless mounds above them with the
choicest flowers of spring; let us raise
above them the dear old fins' they saved
from dishonor, and let us In this solemn
presence renew our pledges to aid and
assist those whom they have left among
us, a sacred cbarge upon a nation's
gratitude the soldier's widow and or-
man. If other eyes grow dull ana otn
er hands slack and other hearts cold.
ours shall keep It warm as long ns the
light and warmth of life remain to us."

FOR A DISTRICT COUNCIL
Meeting of Representatives of Local
Institutes to Consider Matter.
DELEGATES THAT ATTENDED
It Was Decided to Petition tho Grand
Prcsidont of tbo Atlnntlo Jurisdiction
to Construct Councils of this Coun-
ty Into a District Council.
John Boyle O'Reilly council, Young
Men's Institute hall on Lackawanna
avenue was the assembling plnce last
night of delegates from tho Institute
councils of the county. The object of
the convention Is to petition the grand
president of the Atlantic Jurisdiction
to construct the councils of this county
Into a district, which will be guided by
a board of government elected from tho
members here with power to legislate
In local matters.
As It Is now any matter requiring ad
judication must be passed upon by the
grand countdl In Cincinnati. The dis
tance makes It Inconvenient, and, too,
the Institute Is growing so rapidly In
this county that It would be very handy
and would facilitate matters If a dis
trict council were organized. Their
work, of course, would be subject to re
view by the grand ollicers.
Lust night a temporary organization
was affected with . T. J. Murphy as
chairman nnd J. J. Brngnn, secretary.
A committee to petition the grand
president for tho creating of a district
council was appointed as follows: J.
F, McDonnell, J. J. Scott, Richard
Sheridan, M. H. McDonough, P. J. Fin
nerty, P. V. Gilpin and M. J. Grady.
The next convention will meet nt the
same place at the caill of thoatliiilrrrmn,
who will Inform them when the com
mittee hears from the grand president.
The following delegates were pres
ent: John Boyle O'Reilly council. P.
H. Ollleran, T. J. Murphy, James J.
Scott, E. P. Mitchell. J. J. Brogan;
Columbus council, of the South Side,

Dovtco of a Great Ucnd .Merchant with on
Elongated Hump of Invcntlon-It Al
most Caused the Dsn til of a .Man Who
Was Trying to Do tho ltrlght Merchant
a Service
William Williams, of Great Bend, a
well-known Delaware, (Lackawanna
and Western conductor, had a narrow
escape from death yesterday morning
at Great Bend.
In returning home, at an early hour,
he observed that the door of Cedelbert
Recklow's store was partly opened, and
suspecting that burglars had entered
the premises he made an investigation.
There, were, however, no indications
that any articles had been disturbed,
and thinking that Mr. Recklow had for
gotten to close the door he pulled the
door, but scarcely had he done so when
a gun was discharged and a charge of
shot entered his chest, face and hands.
He was quickly removed to his home.
and lost evening It was reported that
he was not In a dangerous condition.
From explanations made by Mr.
Recklow It appears that he had ar
ranged a device whereby to prevent
burglars entering his store, nnd had
placed a double barreled shotgun near
the door In such a position that anyone
opening the door from the outside
would receive the contents of the two
barrels. This was the fate of Mr. Will
iams. ,
GRAND JURY'S ERROR.
Released on Insnno Man Who Had to Dc
Again Imprisoned.
A violently Insane man, E. W. Toner,
of Wiest Market street, secured his
liberty from the county Jail as a result
of the deliberations of the last grand
jury, but for several days his condition
has been such as to demand the atten
tion of the authorities, and he will be
confined In the Insane department of
the iHHIsldo home. Yesterday after
noon Drs. Gunstor and Uonne ex
amined Toner, and found him suffer
ing from alcoholic Insanity.
A few weeks ago he was arrested for
drunkenness, nnd, while confined In the
central station, did considerable dnm
age to the cell, its contents and the
plumbing fixtures, nnd was committed
to tho county Jail while the grand Jury
examined the charge. The bill against
him was Ignored by them and, although
violently Insane, he was given his lib
erty.
His friends had him confined In the
station house last Monday evening
while an effort was being made for
his admission to the Hillside home. The
examination yesterday resulted In a
recommendation that he be conllned in
the insane department of the home.

MR. GORMAN'S DEPARTURE.
The Proprietor of the Grand Depot Will
Locata In California.
M. E. Gorman, who has been Identi
fied with mercantile life in Scranton
for several years past as proprietor of
Gorman s Grand Depot, one of the lead
ing dry goods stores In the city, will
soon leave Scranton and locate on the
Pacific slope. During Mr. Gorman's
business career In the Electric City he
has never advertised a bargain sale,
having always kept goods of a standard
quality that could be guaranteed at all
times without hesitation. On account
of his departure at an early date, Mr.
Gorman desires to dispose of his stock
of goods at once. For this reason he
advertises elsewhere all his stock at
normal figures only, just high enough to
say that the goods are not absolutely
given away. His advertisement ap
pears on the eighth page. Mr. Gorman
Is a thorough gentleman, possessed of
rare business qualities, and the Scran
ton people, who regret the resolution he
has taken, yet wlsn him tne ntgnest
success In the golden sands by the Gol
den Gate.
The coming sale of his stock will af
ford Scrantonlans a rare opportunity to
secure first-class goods in his line at
very low prices.
