pulled ouit a revolver anil shot himself.
Ho was taken to the Lackawanna hos
pital for treatment, but succeeded In
making his escape from that Institu
tion. PEACE AGAIN D1SRITTED.
Another Outbreak Hctwccn Cnrbondnlo
Street Car Company nnd Employes.
Inquiry nt Cnrbondnlo yesterday
elicited the fact that the threatened
outbreak between tho employes anil
the Carbqndale Traction company has
been averted by an amicable solution
of the dillk-ulty. When the men re
turned to work after the recent strike,
concessions were made on both sides.
Two of the men were not taken back,
and four others refused to go back on
the conditions of the settlement
Tho two who wero not taken back
were supposed to await a hearing, af
ter which the company reserved the
right to take them back or not, just ivs
things developed. However, the two
havo since been put to work, as well as
three of the four who first refused to
resume. One, General Manager Altken
at the outset positively refused to take
back, and that was the cause of the re-,
ported probability of a second strike. A
conference was held Saturday night
and- the management In order to avoid
further trouble decided to take the em
ploye back on probation. It is probable
that the line will operate without any
future ado.

VACANT LOT CULTIVATION.
Plan Will Not Do Put Into Operation
Until Next Ycnr.
The Associated Charities will aban
don Its Intention of putting In opera
tion this year the New York plan of
"Cultivation of vacant lots by the un
employed." This action will probably
be taken at the next meeting of the
board.
Quite a large number of proffers of
vacant lots were made, and several
substantial cash contributions were
made, but It Is believed that the, sea
son Is too far advanced to operate the
plan successfully. It Is also believed
that a similar work next year might
have been unfavorably affected by only
medium success during this season.
It Is probable that the vacant lot
offers will be supplanted by cash In
many Instances, and that the contri
butions especially for this work will be
given fox general uses.

SHE MET A SUDDEN DEATH
Mrs. John Ccrrity Killed by Lluht
nlng During tlic Storm.
THE BOLT ENTERED HEK HOME
Other Work of tho Storm About tho City
and Its Vicinity Trco In Palling In
jured tho llousoof lolin llcalo,
on illaln Avenue.
During the rain storm of yesterday
afternoon Mrs. John Gerrlty, of Slate
Hill, near the Continental mines, of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
ltallroad company, was killed by tho
lightning.
She was sitting In tho front room of
tho house and the bolt struck the ridge
of the root near, tho chimney; It left
no marks on her body. The house was
scarcely damaged by the flash. She Is
survived by her husband and a large
family.
Tho wind was so furious that It lifted
the heavy roof off the barn of Henry
Hackhorn, a farmer living near tho
Continental mines, and carried It 100
feet away on top of a culm dump. The
fruit trees In Unekhorn's orchard were
nil leveled to the ground or utterly
ruined.
At Mlnooka the storm raged with
great fury for a time. Fruit trees
wore blown down and a number of
windows broken. Car No. 142 of the
Scranton Traction company received a
charge of electricity from tho henvens
which burned out the fuse wires nnd
rendered the motors useless. A wreck
ing car had 'to pull tho disabled coach
back to the city.
Damngc About the City,
A good denl of damage was done
In all parts of the city, the hillside
streets' suffering greatly. It will keep
tho street commissioner busy for many
days to get them In shape again. Tho
water rushed down some of the West
Side, Sanderson's Hill and North End
streets, tearing great holes wherever
the thoroughfares wero unpnved. Great
masses of dlrf were forced down to tho
Intersecting streets at the foot of the
hills, and Wiere plied up In heaps or
swept Into the sewers. .
At Clark street and Main avenue,
North End, lightning struck and felled
a large tree. In Its descent tho tree
struck tho house of John lleale, crush
ing in the side of It.
In the lower end of Mlnooka very
little rain fell, and the storm did not
reach as far ns Old Forge. The place
nor the territory below it did not know
Its. cooling effects.
Ilcforo the Storm.
The tidal wave of heat that swept
over this vicinity last Thursday nnd
continued daily since then to roll Its
billows along to the great discomfiture
of humanity received a check late yes
terday 'afternoon from the refreshing
but damaging shower. Up to that time
the heat had been most oppressive.
Saturday the thermometer registered
between 90 and 100 from early morning
until nightfall, but yesterday the mer
cury did not get above 03, cool bfeezes
assisting In tempering the torrid atmo
sphere. While men and women perspired they
turned their eyes longingly to the flag
staff on the court house, where the
.weather signals aro displayed, nnd there
saw that exasperating white, fair
weather flag, hanging limp and supine
from Its staff. Even when towards 5
o'clock the sky darkened and Old King'
Humidity for the moment took control
of the weather bureau and drenched
the parched earth, that white flag re
mained at Its post and refused to go
down.
Then Clear Wcnthcr Reigned Again.
Presently the sky cleared, a bdautlful
rainbow was seen and the white rag
shook the rain drops from Its folds,
floated on the evening breezes and
seemed to take a fiendish delight In pro
claiming that It had won, for was not
the weather again fair?
STABBED HIS WIFE.
William Noucy Held In Police. Court to
Await Result of Her Injuries.
Early yesterday morning an excited
pedestrian approached Patrolman Hot
zeorth on the West Side and told him
that William Nowey, 46 years of ago,
and a bricklayer, had cut his wife's
throat In their home on Tenth Direct.
A visit to the place revealed Newey
In an Intoxicated condition and the
wife's face bleeding from a stab wound.
Newey was arrested. Dr. W. A. Paine
was summoned to attend the woman,
but she refused his services. In yester
day's police court Alderman Millar re
manded the husband to await the result
of his wife's Injury, which Is reported
to be trivial.

END OF A LONG LI I E.
An Old Forgo Octogenarian Gone to Ills
Reward.
Patrick Lydon, of Old Forge, died at
the home of his son-in-law, John Hen
nahan, Saturday morning. He was
approaching the eightieth milestone of
his existence when he was called. Until
a few years ago he had been In prime
health, and before his death had not
been more than a week seriously ill.
He was one of nature's noblemen,
and had a friend wherever he formed
ah acquaintance. The funeral will
take place at 9 o'clock .this morning.
High mass of requiem will be cele
brated et St Joseph's cjfurch, Mlnooka,
and Interment will be (made In Mlnooka
Catholic cemetery.
DOUBLE CHOIR A SUCCESS.
Made Favorablo Impression at Twilight
Service.
The twilight service at itho Flrslt
rresbyteriatv church yesterday were
unusually Impressive end beautiful.
Tho effect produced ty tho two choirs
located in the front and rear of the
church, vmB excellent. Th services
opened with a. beautifully rendered pre
lude by Bauer's orchestra. Thl orches
tra and many slngrers from the Sacred
MuMc society, numbering; over a hun
dred voices, occupied the old choir gal
lery la the rear of the church.
After responsive readings the two
choirs Bang In ierfect unison and with
beautiful and distinct Intonation the
grand chorus by Herndon, "Make a
Joyful Noise," and, as their second
number, the chorus "I Will Arlso." As
in offertory solo, Mrs. Dlmmlek, In
splendid voice, sang "Come Unto Me."
The sermon by ltev. Dr. MoLood was
a very prac itlcal and helpful talk on tho
Joys of salvation. Altogether the largo
audience, the preaching, the orchestra,
the chcirs and tho solos made a great
success of yesterday's twilight service.
An equally good programme la In prep
aration for next Sunday's seirvlco.
TO WORK FOR BEZEK.
His Cn.so Will llo Enid Ilcforo Hoard of
Pur J oils.
Civil Engineer Edmund Bartl Is a
Arm believer In tho Innocence of the
condemned murderer, Frank Bezek,
and as such will befriend him to the
end, and intends to do all In his power
to save him from the gallows. 41 r.
Hartl snys that lleuek's execution will
be nothing short of Judicial murder.
He does not gailnsay the fact that It was
nt Itezek's hands Mary Kerzlo met her
death, but he maintains that It was not
premeditated; that IJezek was about to
shoot himself when the girl got In the
way and received tho bullet that he
meant for sclt-destruntlon.
Mr. Hartl was asked yesterday what
will be done by llezek's friends to save
hhn, and lie replied that a few days will
elapse before unythlng definite can be
given out about It. .Mr. Hartl stated
that It has already cost him $205, but he
Is willing to make another sacrifice to
present Hezck'H case before the board
of pardons, or In an appeal for execu
tive clemency.
Tho murderer has not been told yet
that the supreme court decided against
him, but he Is becoming uneasy. Last
night he wrote a letter to Mr. Hartl,
which tho Jail authorities will mail this
morning. Ho Is seeking InTormatlon,
and appears to want to know Just ex
actly, what his1 chances aro. Since the
murder nnd throughout the trial and
during his Incaceratlon ho has 'been
very cool and devoid of - worrlment.
Itut he has been buoyed up with the be
lief that there la hope for him.
It remains to be seen what effect Mr.
Dartl's cheerless news will have upon
him.
DRUNKEN MEN FIGHT.
They Moke Sunday Huthcr Lively nt
Wolf Johnson's I'lnce.
A penre of men living upstairs over
Wolf Johnson's saloon, on Penn ave
nue, d-wf-'ated the Sabbath in on un
seemly manner about supper time yes
terday. 1 hy had been Indulging nil
day heavily In drink nnd the natural
termination of the festivity was a
rough and tumble light. They pitched
their battle in Johnson's back yard, and
Mrs. Johnson, Wolf being not at home,
rushed over to Nealls' livery stable and
appealed ,to tho employes to assist In
quieting the turbulent tenants,
Mr. lioyd, who works at the stable, Is
a special officer, and with some of the
hostlers, went over. He got hold of the
ringleader and wns taking him to tho
station when the fellow wheeled sud
denly about and struck lioyd on ihe
ear with a stone, Inflicting an ugly
gash. Hut ho did not get away, and
when the special landed his prisoner In
the station and Informed tho police
about the affray, Patrolmen Sloat,
Feeney, Gurrell and May paid the place
a visit. Everything was quiet when
th?y arrived, but Patrolman Sloat
found a stone In one fellow's pocket and
took him to the station.

LOTS OF BMLL TALK
Somcthinn of the Kcnsons for the
' Just Suspension of Urown.
"
WANTED TO JUMP THE CLUB
Wllkcs-Bnrro Paper Criticises Manager
Barnlo and tho Alligator Mnnngomcnt
Gets Into Same Bont-Changes
In Position of I'luycra.
Because tho Scranton club has not
been playing winning ball does not Dig
nify that the crunks have' had nothing
to tulk about. A losing team during
any period of the season puts tho en
thusiasts on edge. This has been
proved,.slnce Scranton began losing the
four straight to Wllkes-IJnrre. Ru
mored releases, a suspension, forebod
ing of a shnke-up and a benching or
two has given the utidh-muyed crank
several cuds to chew upon.
Not the least surprising episode wns
the summary suspension on Saturday
of "Dick" Brown, the ex-Baltlmorean.
The suspension will continue lndeflnlfe
ly, to prevent his playing' with any club
that'Is a member of the national agree
ment. This condition may scorn unjust
but the facts indicate otherwise. Brown
on two occasions narrowly escaped the
blacklist by "Jumping" from Baltimore
and Lynchburg, Vn.
Ho was lnylrfg wires to do tho same
trick here, nnd after being suspended,
spread the report that lie had received
tho worse of partial treatment by Cap
tain Sweeney and Manager ISarnle, that
ho had been assigned for games on cold
or rainy days and that the players
"kidded" him." Well, the players did
"kid" him, but only In the same spirit
that ill the memlirs ot the club give
and take a Jokp.
An i:piuhntlon Asked l or.
The "kidding'' expression was used
by Brown Inst Friday afternoon, when
Manager Barnle had him on the carpet
to explain why a few moments previ
ously he had refused to Juin tho other
players In practice pluy. Captabp
Sweeney called to Brown to come onto
the field, but the ex-Oriole went Into the
dressing room.
A week ago Manager Barnle lenrned
that Brown wns preparing to depart by
moonlight and succeeded In bringing
him to his senses. Brown later told a
fellow-player that he would Fklp the
club nnd piny Under an assumed name.
When asked about the matter yester
day Manager Barnie said that "Brown
and his Imaginary wrongs are not
wcrth talking about." He did say, nnd
emphatically, that Brown will find It
an Impossibility to pitch for any na
tional agreement club.
The Wllkes-Barre paper that was so
alert to roast Manager Barnle for a do-1
lay In forwarding last Wednesday's
btttlng order to Wilkes-Barre forgot to
mention that tho WilkeB-Harre man
agement entirely neglected to send Its
batting order to this city on the day fol
lowing. If the oversight was inten
tional It was a childish piece of work.
It may not b out' of place to state
that Shannon was not Involved In the
petty fling; In, fact, Shannon remarked
Saturday that Wllkes-ISarre seldom
conforms to the batting order rule, but
depends upon the players' names being
taken from the papers.
The paragraph referred to demands
additional notice because of its insin
uation that Manager Barnle poses as
on authority, but did not bear out the
assumption in this particular instance.
Mr. Barnie was the originator of the
batting order rule, but he may be par
doned for the delay in question, as on
that day he wa3 worried and busy over
a player's escapade, which has since
been corrected. This explanation Is not
so much tor the benefit of the writer
of the pdtty Wllkes-Barre paragraph as
it Is for the enlightenment of those
who have read Its unjust meaning.
Stearns Will Stay In tho Hold.
Stearns will play In left field today,
and until such time ns Brady finds his
batting sight. Brady will play third
until Whitehead recovers from an ill
ness which Incapacitated him for good
work Saturday.
All things considered tho two changes
hi pDsltlon will not weaken tile club;
on the contrary It appears to be
strengthened. Stearns is getting his
best eye on the ball nnd will prove a
strong factor in winning games.
Clark's reappearance at first argues
well; he has always been a strong
hitter and should be one ot the first
to recover his old form. Smith usually
finds the ball, and by relieving Rogers
occasionally that clever catcher will
have the opportunity which comes with
rest, to find a way to crack out triples
and doubles.
Tho management has llneB out for a
pitcher to replace Brown. More cor
rectly speaking negotiations to secure
this particular twlrler were opened two
weeks ago, and the prospects for secur
ing him are now very bright. His
Identity Is concealed for obvious rea
sons, v
Pltoher Hodnon has been given his
ten days notice of Telease by Philadel
phia. He may be the pitcher the Scran
ton management Is negotiating for. If
lie Is not It would be a good Idea to se
cure him.
VERDICT FOR STEER E.
Jury Soy That Oakley Took Advantage
of Plaintiff's Ignorance.
C. C. Steere was awarded a verdict
against D. K. Oakley of $1,002.26, which
is the amount of $686.75 with interest
from Oct. 6, 1887. Steere, several fears

gage wns later assigned to Oakley, and
when Steere wns squaring up the ac
count he allowed Oakley to figure the
Interest, end no alleges that Oakley
figured the interest in such a way that
he had to pay almost $900 too much.
He brought suit to recover the
amount ho claims he overpaid, and
