SEVEN COUNTY REUNION.
It Will Be Held at Montrose
on
August 21.
An excursion committee of Lieuten
ant Ezra 8. Griffin Post, No. 139, Grand
Army of the Republic, have mado ar
rangements with the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad com
pany to run an excursion from Scran

rates for the round trip, and cordially
Invite all comrades of Bister posts,
north, east, south and west of Scran
ton, from Honesdale to Mooslc, and
from Moscow to Dalton, to join them
at Scranton and share in the cheap
rates secured by the committee.
All old veterans of the late war are
earnestly pressed to fall In line. The
reunion Is not a Grand Army of the
Republic Institution, but a veteran re
union, Including all soldiers and sailors,
who served In the Union army or navy
to suppress the rebellion of the south
and save the life of the nation. The
several auxllllarles of the Grand Army
of the Republic are warmly Invited to
go with the "old boys" and have a
grand, good old time.
These Include the Women' Belief
corps, ladles' circles, and hut but not
least, the Sons of Veterans. This train
will be the only excursion train made
up at Scranton for Montrose on the
date before stated.
Tha host of friends of Griffin post,
who always go on the annual excur
sions, are not forgottens Without them
the day would lose much of Its en
joyment for the old vets, for It gives
them unalloyed pleasure to be sur
rounded by friends who show that they
appreciate the service rendered by them
to their country during the dark days
of the rebellion. The committee will
give full Information later.

Evaa tha Ieaoeeat Ordlaaaee
Files Plays Trloks oa Theou
Joseph Oliver last night In common
council began the work of resuscitating
the old Lackawanna avenue viaduct
ordinance, which proposes a viaduct
which will not occupy the entire street,
but simply make a sort of bridge which
teamsters and pedestrians may option
ally use.
If, In the full flush of confidence of
having discovered the longlost key to
the situation that now confronts those
who are trying to find some way of get
ting to Hyde Park, he felt that his fel
low members would rise up and call
him blessed, he was sorely disappointed.
The words "and the cltV engineer is
hereby directed " werftscarcely out
ot Clerk Hutton's -mouth before Mr.
Keller arose and smote the ordinance a
stern blow.
In unmistakable terms ha dubbed It
a foolish movement that did not rise up
the emergencies ot the 'occasion, and
one that could not pass. He said he
would be willing to allow Mr. Oliver
to go ahead with his harmless scheme If
it was not that it piled work on the
city engineer. (
"The courts have decided already
that it cannot be built," continued Mr.
Keller, 'and the only thing left to do
Is to build a viaduct the full width ot
the street and settle with the property
holders for the damage that might re
sult. This is the only way a good road
to Hyde Park can be secured; anything
else will be useless and I will fight it
to the bitter end."
Council Let It Uo.
Mr. Neaiis Interrupted Mr. Keller
with the remark: "Let it go for the
present, it won't do any harm." Coun
cil decided to "let It go" and It was
placed In I'he regular order.
It developed last nlgiht that the com
moneera have failed thus far in their
dlaousslon of the approaches to the Lin
den street balloon landing to distin
BU'itCi between -tlhe ordinance fixing the
grade of S wetland street and the ordin
ance providing for the work ot con
structing the approaches to the bridge.
If anyone saiw fit to oppose the matter,
te-cfhnlcally, It would have to be all gone
over with it againv tAinother blunder
wihlch was pointed out during a discus
sion following the meeting was ttiat
the ordinance fixing the grade was de
tective because there Is a grade fixed
there aflrrady, and the present ordin
ance should provide for a re-establishment
of grade. If no one takes the
troulble to qifJUble over these points Vhe
SweMand street grade, with its dip to
the brewery, awaits only the signature
of tlhe mayor to imake It the accepted
solution Of the approach to tlhe Linden
street bridge, as both ordinances, the
one fixing the grade and the other providing-
for the Work, passed fhlrd.and
final reading.
SSr. Sweeney, under the head of new
business, arose to remark that Gould's
carriage factory, an Immense wooden
structure, had been recently erected
within the fire limits, a-r.d through the
Instrumentality of a resolution he re
quested the mayor to Inquire of Build
ing Inspector Nelson why he had grant
ed a building permit for this structure.
Gibbons Did Not Know.
When the resolution awarding to
Peter Stlpp the contract for construct
ing the approaches to Roaring Brook
bridge came up for concurrence, Cap
tain Moir called attention to the fact
that a lower bid had been received from
Hart A Gibbons, of Wilkes-Sarre, and
asked that the bids be read. Upon
reading the full report of the committee
and attached proposals it was learned
that though the Hart ft Gibbons bid waa
$50 lower than Stlpp's bid, it was not
considered because they had not ac
companied their bid with a certified
check for 5 per cent of the amount, as
required by tha ordinance. ,
Mr. Gibbons, who was present, 'was
given the privilege of tha floor, and
stated that he wfts Ignorant of the cus
tom here, and If he had been notified
would have been ready to give any
appropriate bonds. Mr. Noone and
Mr. Battle fought to have the matter
referred for further consideration to
the streets and bridges committees, and
succeeded against the opposition of
Messrs. Sweeney and Oliver.
The John Conmy bill as at came from
select council was read and referred to
the streets and bridges committee with
Instructions to consult with the city
solicitor regarding Its validity.
The proposal of the Fenton Metalllo
company to place file cases in the city
clerk's ofllce for $954 was accepted.
The streets and bridges committee re
ported favorably an ordinance estab
lishing the grade of lower Hampton
street, which was referred for print
ing. Council gave the poperty holders
on Center street, west of Wyoming
avenue, for a distance of ninety feet,
permission to pave the street with sheet
asphalt

rapidly growing portion of the city.
The church that will be erected on
this plot is to ba known as the Church
of St. William. To provide a oongre
gatlon for it a new parish will be

REED'S STRANGE DEATH.
Fouad In the Road Leading to Scnulti
vllle with a Bullet Wound In Ills Body,
Died at tha Lackawanna Hospital.
Lying unconscious by the road lead
ing from this city to SchultzvUle, and at
a point about two miles this side ot
the Hillside home, Ezra Reed, a young
men 19 years old, was discovered before
dark Wednesday night. A large quan
tity of- blood had oozed from a bullet
hole In his body, and a few feet from
him was a thirty-eight calibre five
shooter revolver, with but one chamber
empty. He died yesterday afternoon at
tho Lackawanna hospital.
It la a mysterious case, but all the de
tails so far developed go to show that
Reed shot himself accidentally. That
Is what he said about It himself, and
there does not seem to be anybody else
that knows anything more about it.
He was employed by Dr. 8. T. Neal,
of SchultzvUle, around the stables. His
slater, Mrs. Dostner, lives about a mile
from where he was found, and he left
the doctor's home early after supper
that evening to go over to her house.
Removed to Hillside Home.
The man who found him notified Dr,
Ben F. Evans at the home, and Super
intendent Beemer sent a conveyance to
have him removed there. Dr. Evans
did not attempt to probe for the bullet
on account of Reed's weakened condl
tton, but administered opiates and the
wounded man slept soundly until morn
ing. Ho was then removed to the Lacka
wanna hospital.
There the surgeons made no attempt
to extract the bullet, but did all possl
ble to Invigorate him. He recovered
consciousness for a short time and it
was then that he made the statement
that the wound was accidentally In'
dieted. He claimed to be handling the
revolver, It exploding while he had the
barret pointing toward his abdomen,
which the bullet entered.
Coroner J. A. Kelley was notified of
the case when the man died and went
to the hospital with a jury empaneled
to investigate. The body was viewed,
but no testimony was -taken, there not
being any witnesses around.
Telephoned for Witnesses.
Th coroner sent a telephone mes
sage to Schultzvllle, requesting all those
who might be able to throw any light
on the subject to be present at 9 o'clock
this morning, to which time the Jury
adjourned.
Coroner Kelley performed' a post-mor
tem examination and found the bullet.
It was necessary to cut through a good
deal of the muscular tissue, as the mis-
sle had passed into the abdominal cav
ity. The remains re still at the hos
pital, but 'the relatives of the deceased
have been notified and are expected to
take charge of the body this morning.

As predicted In Tuesday Tribune
the cave-In on the West Bide t a dan
gerous one.
Yesterday the settling was so great
that miners in the Oxford mine discon
tinued work at noon and attl came out
Fourteen Central mine mules were also
taken out by way of the Washburn
street air ehajft, and, as th effect of the
"squeeze" Is felt In three oh'airiuers at
the Hampton mine, that place is in
danger.
The region affected by th cave Is
Luzerne street, and streets adjoining
near Fourteenth street, or an area of
albout twenty acres. Though damage
to buildings la but perceptible, within
tlhe mines the destruction is great,
Three veins are In the "squeeze." which
Is not a new qne, but a continuance of
the settling that happened lat winter,
affecting the houses cf J. Plummer Ack
er and other Rock street residents.
Trouble in the Oxford.
In the Oxford mine the Clarke vein
is the s?ene of the trouble. This pas
sage Is the lowest vein and Is operated
from 'the Itfg vein, where fhe Central
mine 1s touched, by the Ryder vein. At
tlhe Hampton mine the Hook, or second
vein, is In the squeeze.
It -will be remembered that at the
cave-in of six anon'ths ago the squeeze
suddenly stopped and this If the first
movement rtoce then. The present one
was noticed on Monday, when the
ground at Fourteenth street cracked
In several places. Yesterday the larg
est fall occurred. The greatest diffl
culty was experienced at the Central
mine. At this place the water In the
vein above fell down yesterday after
noon and flooded the underlying vein.
Last evening pumps had gained con
siderable on the flood and the mine is
considered out of danger.
The squeeze at the Oxford mine
stopped last evening, and the colliery
is in condition to immediately resume
work. Aralstant Superintendent Thos.
W. Phillips was on the spot all through
uie danger.
Hundreds of Tons Cnrae Down,
The fa.ll was heralded iby rumbling
noises and crackling sounds as tlhe
squeeze progressed. Hundreds of tons
of coal and rock fell yesterday morning,
and of the thirty-two chambers in the
Central Rock vein, only two are free
from the pinch. Over eighty men were
thrown out of employment temporarily
at the Central arJi as many more at the
Oxford owing to te danger.
Thomas D. Davles, assistant superin
tendent of the Delaware, Lackawanna
ar.d Western company, stated that the
severity of the squeeze Is exaggerated
What Is given 1 vouched for iby miner
and otlhers who have been in the mine.
IMr. Davles was seen last evening by a
Tribune reporter and fne offered the fol
lowing statement of the situation:
What Mr. Davles Says.
"The extent of the damage Is un
known. Neither do we know how much
has come down-. -We have overcome the
influx of water in the Central mine,
and will ihave little troulble in tlhe fU'
ture. We expect to have Mie mines
open y Monday for work. Damage to
the mine is very light. On the outside,
of course, we are unacquainted with
the extent of the damage. We hope
mere win ibe no more damage."
Mr. Davles says that the squeeze is
a new one, despite previous statements
fo rhe contrary. It has no connection
wltih Vhe one ot six months ago.
