DEATH OF C. F. MATTES
Short Illness Ended a Long and Very
Useful Career.
OXE OP OI K OLDEST HESIDEXTS
Was aa Important Factor in the Devel
opment of Scranton as a Manofactar
lug aad Commercial Center Mem.
her ot City Councils for Years.
There passed away yesterday morn
ing In the person of Charles Frederlok,
Mattes, a pioneer of the Lackawanna
valley and a prominent, progressive,
and Influential resldi-nt of Sorantou.
He was born In Kaston oa .Muy 26.
181. and came to this city iirst In the
autumn of 1S40. He locuted permanent
ly here In 1841. assuming a position us
clerk in the store of the Lackawanna
Iron and Coal company, In the em
ploy of which he remained until his
death at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
From an humble position he ad
vanced by stages to the most trusted
In the bestowal of the company, in all
these years lie did not leave his desk
to go on vacation but once, and that
was a few years ago, when he took a
trip to the northwest on business and
pleasure. After serving a few years as
clerk In the store he was appointed
to tuke charste of the blast furnaces
and mines, and not long afterward be
came vice-president and general man
ager. He was succeeded as general mana
ger by K. S. 'Moffat, deceased, and then
assumed control of the real estate de
partment of the company, in which
he was actively engaged until ten days
ago, when he was forced to confine
himself to the house. On last Satur
day lie sat up In bed and examined
with the same business exactness that
characterized htm through life, all the
papers and documents of the company
to close up last month's business. He
attached his signature wherever It was
required with a steady hand, showing
the resolute will tha.t was characteris
tic of the man.
Characteristics of the Man.
Although he was In fairly good health
until less than a year ago, his system
was undergoing the first stages of
wearing out, due to a long and active
life. In his boyhood he wus noted for
a steady and well directed disposition
to pass every minute of his life doing;
something of profit. His oharactcr was
antagonistically opposed to Indolence.
His mind was quick and he had a mag
nificent perception. He saw things
quickly, saw what course to pursue,
and had a moral nature that acted in
keeping with his perception. He knew
the right and It was useless to make
an effort to get him to diverge from
his purpose of carrying it out. He was
bitterly opposed to ostentation and
could not be prevailed upon to have his
likeness printed in any of the histories
or books of reference of this valley.
In his younger days he was an ac
tive and enthusiastic fireman. He repre
sented the Seventeenth ward in select
council for a number of years and
eventually-declined a renomtnatlon and
was treasurer of the Moses Taylor hos
pital from the foundation of that noble
InHtltutlon until his death.
The deceased hecame a member of
the First Presbyterian church on May
17, 1X52, and, on May 21, 181. was
ordained an elder. He was a trustee
and also served several times as pres
ident of the board of trustees. He was
a man of deep religious conviction, and
his life was lived In keeping with these
convictions.
.Members of His Family.
Ills brother, Henry T,. Mattes and
sister, iMrs. Alexander Wilson, both of
Easton. are the only relatives aside
from hla six children, who are: Wil
liam F. Mattes and Kdward C. Mattes,
of Ouray, Colo.; Lieutenant Colonel
Charles C. Mattes and Adjutant Louis
T. Mattes, of the Thirteenth regiment,
and Misses Mary .Mattes and Nellie
Mattes, of this city.
The family residence Is at 119 Jef
ferson avenue, next to the store and
offices of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company. The funeral will take
place on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
interment In Dunmore cemetery. The
services will be at the house, and will
lie conducted by Rev. S. C Logan. It.
V., Rev. James McLeod, D. D., and by
perhaps other clergymen from a dis
tance. The store of the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company and the office of the
Tackawanna Iron and Coal company,
adjoining, are draped in mourning.
Richard W. Olmstead, employed In the
office of the steel company. Is now the
one In this city whose term of service
for the company Is the longest. Mr.
Mattes was employed four or live years
longer than he, having been continu
ously engaged for nearly 56 years.
tn his death the city loses a citizen
from the foremost ranks, and a man
that has done a vast amount of labor
to 'build It up. He had a distinguished
and patriarchal appearance and won
and retained the respect of all with
whom he came in contact.

Vladnet Ordinance la Indefinitely Post
poned ia Committee.
The viaduct ordinance was quietly
pigeon-holed by the streets and bridges
committee last night. The committee
seemed to view the project as one uf
the 'possibilities of the future, but not
of the near future. Jn view of this and
thefaut that the city engineer's otflce is
overburdened with work It was decided
to relieve the engineer ot the task ot
plannhig for this work. '
Among the measures approved by the
committee were ordinances providing
for grading Filmore avenue; for merg
ing the viaduct appropriation and the
balance from the fund for the purchase
of approaches to Swetland street bridge
and transferring the bulk amount to
the fund for completing the approaches
to both bridges; for widening sidewalks
and narrowing roadway on Wyoming
avenue between Marlon and -La roll
streets; for Improving Robinson street;
establishing grade on Hampton street,
from .Main avenue to the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western land In
Kelser Valley; and a resolution pro
viding for repairing gutters in the Sixth
ward.

LAST NIGHT'S ECLIPSE.
Began at 10 U'Cloek P. M. and Continued
I'ntil 2.54 This Morning.
An eclipse under favorable weather
and sky Is t'he delight of astronomers.
Last evening's sky was clear, calm and
starry, and had developed Into a typi
cal September night, when at about
twelve minutes of 10 o'clock a total
eclipse of the moon began. It was 11
o'clock, however, before the penumbra!
phase was observable.
For an hour and six minutes the
earth's shadow continued to move
across the moon's disk, until six min
utes pant 12, when the eclipse became
total. The moon remained overshad
owed until 1.47 a. m., then the shadow
began to vanish until 2.54 a. m., when
nothing but a very' slight penumbra
remained.
This is the second eclipse of the moon
this year, the other occurring on March
10, but on account of dense clouds the
view was obscured. There will also
be three olar eclipses during the pres
ent year, all of which will be Invisible
to us.
Two lunar and three solar eclipses Is
therefore the total for '95. In 1877 the
same number and kind of eclipses oc
curred, but eleven days earlier In the
year. They were, however. Invisible
to the Inhabitants of America.
WORK OF THE BOARD.
Charity That Has Been Dolod Out by tbe
Assoelated Workers.
Owing to the absence from the city
of many members ot the Associated
Charities there was no meeting of that
body last night. A special meeting will
be called In the course of a week, as
much business has accumulated during
the two months Just passed, during
which no meetings were held.
The society's agent, Mrs. W, B. Dug
gan, iflled her report with the secretary.
It showed that she had investigated
seventy-four cases and had found lll'ty
three of them worthy of relief. ' tom
ployment was found for eight persons,
and transportation provided for fifteen.
Bight deserted wives and two deserted
husbands were helped. Thirteen people
were provided with houses and nine
were sent to summer homes.
This, however, Is but apportion of the
work that has been acorn pi I shed by
the board through its energetic agent.

FGSTCFFHX SAFE CRACKED
Robbers at Muosic Steal Registered
Letters aad Stamps.
HOW IT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
They First Stole Blacksmith's Tools. Then
Pried Open the Boor of the Post
office aad Then Drilled aad
Blew Open the Safe.
Monday two well-dressed strangers
apepared In Jdoosic, loitered about the
town, freely entered Into conversa
tion with tliose whom they chanced to
meet and among other things paid an
extended visit to the blacksmith shop
ot H. J. Thomas, where they made
quite free with the employes, becom
ing very friendly before they left. That
night the iMooxie poetottice waa robbed
with the aid of various tools taken
from Thomas' blacksmith shop, and
the next day the two strangers were
among the missing.
Two registered letters, one belonging
to 1 F. Walsh and the other to an
Italian, together with $300 worth ot
stamps were taken from the safe.whlch
wus cracked In the most scientific man
ner. Nothing was known of the rob
bery until Postmaster James Hutler
went to open the office yesterday
morning.
They Stole the Tools.
The thieves, It appears, first broke
Into the blacksmith shop, and securing
what tools they needed, pried open the
front door of the poHtomce and pro
ceeded to blow open the sufe. Two
holes were drilled, one at the combina
tion and another near the hinge.
Olant puwder was poured Into the holes
and exploded. Several persons living
near by, particulaity Mrs. It. W. Luce
and sou, who live next door, claim that
they heard the explosion, but none of
them attempted to locate It. They say
It happened about 3 o'clock.
When Postmaster Butler discovered
the robbery, he hastened to communi
cate the matter to the police and later
on came to Scranton to consult with
Postmaster Vandling. The department
at Washington was notltled and tele
grams and letters were sent out to
various places notifying the police to
be on the lookout for persons trying to
dispose of stamps.
WANTED TO TEAR UP A WELL.
Smethlng That All the King's Uorses
Were Unsble to Aeeomplish.
Peter Boots, of iRIchmondale, Is In
the county Jail for attempting to do the
impossible act. Usually, when a man
goes to Jail, unless he has been im
prisoned innocently, he has one con
solaiiion, he can gloat over his unlaw
ful act. iBoots cannot gloat, but he
may repine. He tried to do something
that Is as easy as lifting himself by his
bootstraps.
On the premises of one John Banko,
a Hungarian, Is an old well. Boots
knew the well was there, and he got
possessed of the Idea that the well
ought to be abated. There Is a wind
lass and large bucket still on the well.
He would let the bucket to the bot
tom and then with might and main
twist the windlass to hoist the bucket
violently In hopes that It would strike
against the sides and cause a caveln.
In other words he was trying to pull the
well up.
Banko had him arrested for malicious
mischief on a warrant Issued by 'Squire
Ulenn, Who sent Boots to Jail in default
of bail.
FLIM-FLAMMER CAUGHT.
Beat Restaurant keeper Kanffmsn Out

Four men went Into Kauffman'a res

night, and after partaking of four

money, but the officer would not permit
of a settlement. The prisoner gave

GATHERED HERE AND THERE.
.Something of the Indomitable will
power and marvelous vitality of Rt.
Rev. Bishop O'Hara, who is In his
eightieth year, can be learned from
wlliat he accomplished In one day last
week. He arose at 6 o'clock In the
morning, said his office, which took an
hour; at 6.30 celebrated mass, and after
the mass confirmed a class of thirty
children at Wllkes-Barre, giving them
instructions before and after impart
ing the sacrament. He had breakfast
at 8 and then took the train for Ridge
'berry, a distance of 162 miles. Father
iHussle'a church Is Ave miles from the
railway station, and he was driven to
It over a rough road. Immediately af
ter arrlvliug he had dinner, and then
dedicated the church; after that cere.
mony he confirmed a large class of chil
dren, gave them instruction, and got
In his carriage, was driven a few miles
to visit a priest, and from there five
miles back to the railway station, re
turning to Scranton by train.
Secretary D. B. Altherton, of the
board of trade, has compiled some In
terestlng statistics aibout the culm
'heaps dotting the Laokawanna valley.
There are, he said, about 800,000,000
tons of good coal hidden away In the
heaips and could be utilized at very lit
tie expense compared with the cost of
prcipared coal, to manufacture elec
trlclty or any other commodity. The
culm banks could be harnessed so as to
generate horsepower sufficient to light
the entire world for eight years with
t'lectrlclty. At the present rate of elec
trical consumption the horsepower ob
tained would ketip scranton lit forever,
and a day artenwara.
