PIONEER LAID AT REST.
Impressive Services Over the Remains of
Hugh ritiNlminons of Corhondnlo.
At 9.S0 yesterday morning the funeral
of Hugh Fiusimmons, of Carbondale,
took place from his late residence, on
Canaan street, CaYbondale, where prior
to the funeral scores of friends called
to pay their last tributes of respect
and afterward followed the remains to
tho Catholic cemetery, where Interment
was made.
From, the residence ithe body was
taken to St. Roso church, whvre a high
mass of requiem was celebrated by
Rev. J. A. O'Reilly, rector of St. Peter'a
cathedral, of this city, Rev. W. P.
O'ltourke, of Vr'llkes-dlarre, was dea
con; Rev. Joseph J. McCube, of Avoca,
sub-deacon, and Rev. Thomas F. Cor
fey, of Carbondule, master of the cere
monies. After the final absolution.
which followed the mass, Rev. Father
McCabe preached a short sermon, taking
for his text the words of St. Paul to the
Thessalonluns, "And we will not have
you Ignorant, brethren, concerning
them thut are asleep, that you be not
sorrowful even as others who have not
hope."
' After reminding his' hearers that
faith dispels the gloom which ordinar
ily accompanies death and that It
man's destiny to die, the speaker
passed to a consideration of the life of
the deceased. His. soul, he said, was
one of the noblest of God's creations
and though called to serve his master
In an humble sphere he had been a
faithful child to the church tn all which
that implies and had been rewarded
on this earth with a length of days
seldom accorded to man. As a Chris
tian, a father and a husband he was a
model that men might well emulate.
Having fulfilled the end for which God
created him he was called to a blessed
Immortality, therefore there should be
no mourning save that which naturally
follows separation from a loved one.
From the church the remains were
removed to the Catholic cemetery,
where Interment was made. The pall
bearers were Dennis Tierney, Scran
ton; Hon. John Kelly, John Murrih,
Jeremiah Clune Patrick McCabe, Pat
rick McGarry, B. J. Murphy and Pat

Alurming Disturbance ' That Has
Tuken Pluee at Prospect Park.
MANY PiXE BUILDINGS KUINED
There lias Been General Depression of
the Surfaco la the Affected District
of Eight Inches-Owners of tho
Dumuged Properties.
For tho last six months that portion
of Prospect park between Summit ave
nue and Main avenue has been gradual
ly settling, but tho worst caving oc
curred yesterday morning, between 8
and 8 o'clock. For the past two or
three days the residents of the dls
turbed territory noticed some difficulty
in the opening und shutting of their
doors and windows, but thought noth
lng of it. Yesterduy morning, between
3 and 4 o'clock, they were awakened by
a loud, continued cracking which lusted
until after 6 o'clock.
The affected area covers about an
acre and a half, the center being ubout
the middle of the vacant lot between
the houses of Professor J. C. Taylor
and Thomas Green, whose houses are
the ones most badly damaged, the eel
lar walls and pluHtcr being entirely
destroyed, and both houses moved from
the walls about eight Inches towards
tho vacant lot.
Dumngcs to Dwellings.
The cracks extend from within a
few feet of the general store of O. V.
1'ulmer to opposite Wood street, and
from Main avenue to Summit avenue.
The double house of L. N. Fetherby,
occupied by himself and C. O. Wolfe, is
damaged in the cellar and the rear uf
the house. Professor Taylor's house
was occupied by himself and E. G.
Tennant, and is completely out of
plumb. The double house of Green is
occupied by himself and Fred Stephens,
which Is In the same condition as Tay
lors, while the double dwelling of John
Zerilleuh, occupied "by himself and
Frederick Coacher, has Its cellar walls
and plaster cracked. Thomas Green
Jr., had built a cellar on a lot facing
church avenue, the walls of which are
ruined, and farther up In the lot a piece
about twelve feet in circumference has
fallen about three feet, from which
large cracks run towards Main avenue,
a large number of them entering the
yard of P. C. Sweeney, but his house
was not damaged.
Settled About Eight Inches.
The ground was slowly settling all
day, and it is estimated the whole
area has settled about eight Inches.
Although the ground around Summit
avenue has been settling for some
time, with the exception of cracked
walls and plaster, not much damage
was done until April 3, when the en
tire cellar of the new house of It. C.
Dean, In the rear of Church avenue,
fell In about three feet, and carried
with it nearly the whole of the cellar
wall.
Last Thursday night a hole about
twelve feet in diameter and two feet
deep was found In front of their house,
facing Clearvlew avenue.
CHARGE AGAINST MR. LAINE.
Preferred by Men M ho Did Work on
Laurel Hill Park.
Upon a warrant sworn out by Morris
& Pease, painters and decorators, J. H.
Lalne, of Laurel Hill park, was yester
day arrested on the charge of false pre
tenses and taken before Alderman O.
B. Wright for a hearing at 3 p. m.
The groundwork of the criminal ac
tion is the neglect of Mr. Lalne In pay
ing for certain improvements on the
park. Morris & Pease's total bill Is
8964.03, and the agreement, they allege,
was that part of the money should be
forthcoming within a certain period,
and the remainder was to have been
paid later. The painters claim that
more than $400 of the money Is over
due. The basis of the criminal action, ac
cording to their statement, is that they
were prevailed upon to take the work
on the representation that the Scranton
Traction company was behind Mr.
Lalne, and that all debts contracted
were to be met by the company. At
the hearing Mr. Lalne was represented
by Attorney W. H. Jessup, Jr., and At
torney D. B. Replogle appeared for the
prosecutors.
After considerable testimony had
been heard, on motion of Attorney Re
plogle, the hearing was adjourned until
next Monday at 10 a, m., when J. R.
Beetem, general manager of the Trac
tion company, will be sworn.
VE8I PEC ULIAR WEATHER.
Dusters Moeded One Day and Listers the
NCxt.
'Soda water fountains In mourning
and tightly buttoned overcoats were
the rule rather than the exception last
night. A wag remarked tl)ut an in
junction should be secured against
Dolph Atherton restraining him and his
flags from manufacturing all kinds of
weather.
Sunday the asphalt pavements were
running into the sewers under a siz
zling heat of 98 degrees, Wednesday
night It rained and at midnight last
night the mercury was at 60 degrees
and going towards China. In this con
nection, the wag referred to said that
Mr. Atherton had better stick to the
weather manufacturing busliless and
let the mayoralty boom and the board
of trade slide.
He says today will be fair and that
the temperature will be the same as
yesterday; that the wind will blow from
the north, but that a warm wave Is on
its way from the western part of the
state.
- WEATHER WAS CHILLY.
Interfered With tbo Attendance at Laurel
Hill Park Concerts.
The chilly weather yesterday after
noon and evening interfered with the
attendance at the concerts given by the
United Choral society in Laurel Hill
park, and, besides, the choir was han
dicapped by the smallness of the stage
space and the acoustic properties of
the pavilion.
In the face of these obstacles the
singing of tho United society and of the
ladles' chorus was such as to warrant
the belief that they will make a bril
liant showing ait the coming eisteddfod
at Wllkes-Barre.
The llrst number rendered In the
afternoon was "Blossoms Born in
Teeming Springtime," by Dovrak, one
of the competitive selections. One
hundred and seventy voices were heard
Kin this grand chorus, John T. Watklns
directing. Their attack, the spirit they
imparted to the words and the harmony
with which the voices blended, showed
that the society deserves to rank as the
greatest Scranton has produced. It
was its first public appearance since Its
organization. "Coral Caves," the next
vocal number, was rendered by the fe;
male chorus under tho direction of Mrs.
Heckel. The number was repeated at
night and the ladles at that concert
also sang "Annie Laurie," which was
one of the most delightful numbers of
the concerts.
At night the society sang "Siorl,
Bey," by MacKenzle, one of the com
petitive pieces, and a male chorus ren
dered "Comrades In Arms." William
Watklns Bang the solo "My Queen."
The vocal numbers were interspersed
with selections by Fulton's band.
STILL THEY DISAGREE.
Lackawanna Township School Directors
Cnnnot llrcnk tho Deadlock.
The monotony of taking one ballot
after the other in the endeavor to
eleut a secretary at an adjourned meet
ing of the Lackawanna township school
board last night, was somewhat varied
by the present of committees from three
societies of MoohIc, each unking the
privilege to erect a Hug pule at the new
school In MouhIc.
Division No. 7, Ancient Order of Hi
bernian, Camp 174, Patriotic Order Sons
of America and George Hill post, Grand
Army of the Republic, are the three
societies. As the board could not make
fish of one and flesh of the other, It was
decided to let the flag pole be erected
at the Instance of the citizens of MoohIc,
Irrespective of societies.
Another attempt was made to elect a
secretury, but the task was given up
after twenty ballots were taken. Lov
erltig, King and Davis voted against
Higglna for secretary, which left the
other three voting f on him, but that Is
not a majority. The meeting adjourned
until next Wednesday evening at 7.30,
That will be the ninth day after the
first Monday In March, and the law al
Iuwh but ten duys in which the board
must organize under forfeiture of the
state appropriation. They will have to
do something next Wednesday night or
a fiasco will result.
A STRAXCE SEPARATION.
Husband and Wife Agree to Live Apart
for Two Venrs,
Seldom such a family quarrel hap
pens as that which was observed in
police court last evening. Thomas Mc
Cormlck and his wife, with their two
children, 13 and 12 years old respective
ly, lived on Hampton street, on the
West Side.
Mrs. McCormick Is a pleasant faced
woman, and her features do not reveal
traces of ugly temper, but her husband
alleges that sometimes she acts with
such savage Impulse that he was loath
to believe anything but temporary In
sanity could be the cause of it.
Believing that If she were sent to a
sanitarium for rest and treatment this
characteristic might wane, and actual
ed by that purpose, he swore out a war
rant bJfore Alderman Johns, of the
WeBt Side, and had her locked up to
undergo medical examination.
Dr. J. J. Carroll, of Hyde Park, was
present in the police station at 5 p. m
yesterday, but Mrs. McCormick ap
peared to be perfectly sane, and he ad
vised her husband to strive and make
some agreement to settle the difficulty.
She complained that the cause of all
the trouble was his 111 treatment of her,
and she agreed to leave home for two
years If he would give her 825 to pay
her way to Blnghamton and pay her
support until she could find work In the
Parlor City. She will stay away for
two years, .and at the end of that time
will come back to claim her children.
Husband and wife separated reluc
tantly with tears in their eyes. She de
parted on the C p. m. train for lilng
hamton.

DIVORCE SEEKERS' MECCA.
Oklahoma the Point of Interest to Mis ,
mated Couples Society People from tho
East Avail Themselves of Its Oppor
tunHles.
Oklahoma City, OUIa., June 6. Ok
lahoma Is fast outstripping South Da
kota as a place where divorces may be
obtafned quickly and with complete
privacy. The laws are not only liberal,
but very flexible, and are so construct
ed that the most galling matrimonial
bonds can be sundered with neatness
and dispatch.
Ill-mated couples are beginning to
learn of the advantages offered them
by this territory, and they are flocking
here in large numbers from all parts
of the Union to rid themselves of un
congenial partners in wedlock. Divorce-getting
has come to be consid
ered by the bona fide residents of Okla
homa as one of the firmly established
Industries.
In this city alone there Is a colony of
200 people who have come here in
Bearch of marital freedom, and in the
territory there are at least 1,000 per
sons who are seeking to establish legal
residence preliminary to applying for
divorce. Oklahoma City has the larg
est divorce colony In the territory, be
cause it has better hotel accommoda
tions than any rival town and offers
more facilities for amusement to those
who elect to make the territory their
home for ninety days, the time required
by law to establish a legal residence.
On the ninety-first day after arriving
in the territory papers may be filed
with the clerk of any district court, It
not being necessary to begin the suit
In the county in which the plaintiff is
supposed to reside.
The majority of those living in the di
vorce colony In this city are society
people from the larger cities, who either
have trivial causes on which to base
their complaints or shrink from the
publicity to which a suit would subject
them, at their own homes. There are
fashionable boarding houses established
here that cater to the divorce colony
exclusively. Excursion parties to
neighboring Indian reservations are of
dally occurrence, and many pleasant
days are spent on the banks of the
rivers amid the trees that abound there.
Traveling companies of players always
receive a liberal patronage from the
colonists, and fashionable box parties
are the rule whenever the little opera
house Is opened to the amusement seek
ers. Usually the members of the Okla
homa City colony do not file their suits
in Oklahoma county, but go to some re
mote district where the1 local newspa
per Is known to have the most limited
circulation, ' Through the advertising
columnsi of this paper service on the
defendant In the case is obtained, which
Is all that Is necessary under the law,
and when the case Is set for hearing
but one witness Is required to establish
the allegations made In the complaint.
If desired, the hearing may be had in
the Judge's private chambers, with no
one present save the plaintiff, his attor
ney and the Judge. The court officers
are always willing and anxious to
please their patrons, and when a ver
dict Is rendered they gladly Becrete
all papers that refer to the case.
It is ' even possible for persona to
come here, live for ninety days under
an assumed name,, then go to the neigh
boring county, quietly file their com
plaints against husband or wife, as the
case may be, using their real names,
and leave the territory without any
one, except the lawyer and the Judge,
knowing who they really are, or what
their mission in Oklahoma has been.
This Is often done, and there are many
people In this city, some of whom are
prominent In tho financial and society
world, whose Identity is not known
and whose business here Is not sus
pected. As might be supposed, many
of those In the divorce colony spend
money lavishly, and their custom Is
much sought after by business men.
