FIXE PARADE AT JERMYN
: '. i-- t
Temperance Met Celebrate tbe Birth
day of Father Mathew.
THE ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE
There Wera I'pwards of 1,700 Total
Abstainers in the Column That
Passed Over the Streets of Jer
mjm and Mayfleld Yesterday.
The thrifty tittle town of Jermyn was
thronged with visitors yesterday, who
went there to see the parade of the
Father .Mathew men of Lackawanna
county who were celebrating the birth
day of the apostle of temperance and
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the or
ganization of the nutional union.
Mature smiled on these sons of tem
perance this years.
The atmosphere was somewhat chilly
but the sun shone brightly from a clear
sky ,and marching was attended with
less discomfiture than it would have
been had the rays of Old Sol been less
tempered, ilast year a steady down
pour of rain prevented the parade at
Jermyn, therefore the societies of this
portion of the diocese decided to favor
the people of that town with a parade
this year, weather permitting.
It did permit, and a most creditable
parade took 'place, over 1.700 uniformed
men marching to the music of nu
merous bands and drum crops. Jermyn
was in holiday attire to greet Its vis
itors, a 'large number of buildings pre
senting a showy appearance with their
festoons of bunting and waving flags.
Arrival of the I'arndcrs.
Albout 10 o'clock the temperance men
began to arrive In force, and for the
next hour the electrlo cars and steam
roads brought large numbers of vis

the division to which they belonged was
forming. It was almost noon before all
of the preliminaries of organizing the
parade had been perfected, and Grand

gave the signal for the column to move
and the first division swung from a

ing then 2 p. m.. he would confine him
self to Introducing Burgess John W.
Nicholson, of Jermyn, who would wel
come the visitors to the borough. Mr.
Nicholson spoke as follows:
liomarks of llurgess MchoNon.
Ladles and Gentlemen It gives mo
great pleasure to arUlress so griind a body
ail is awtembled here todny In the name of
Father .Mnthew, the "apostle of tem
perance." It Is, Indeed, an occasion to lire
tho heart and Inspire the tongue of the
gifted orator to pour forth words of burn
ing eloquence In honor of the noble prin
ciple which is both th Inspiration and the
bond of your fellowship In the cause of
temperance the brotherhood of God. I
am sorry, for your sake, that I am not an
orator, because today you must be disap
pointed of what your great movement so
justly deserves the pralso which the elo
quent tongue alone can utter.
Hut I wish to. Join my voice to Mint of
the countless multitudes who everywhere
hall the progress of the cnuse of temper
ance; end I wlsb to extend you a cordial
welcome to Jermyn from the good people
In whose name I have the honor to speak
today. We welcome this splendid contin
gent of the grand army of 75.000 members
of the Catholic Total Abstlneneo Union of
America. Wo rejoice In Its glorious woik.
It Is engaged In a noble warfare. It is
waging the battle of the family, of the
church and of the state.
It Is no small thing to say of the work
In which you are enlisted, that of the
means to solve many of the social and In
dustrial problems which today seriously
engage the attention of men, not the least
Important among them is the temperance
movement. It stands as a condemnation
before the world of the undue Influence of
the saloon In politics It stands botore the
world' as the arraignment of the crim
inal tleglect'-to enforce the present re
strictive liquor laws. It Is a standing re
proach to the Intemperate who are multi
plying the evils of society. But It Is at
Wis same time the banner of hope under
which the strong and the weak alike may
walk.
The Rainbow ef Premise.
It ta the rainbow of promise of a bright
future In the mist of the clouds and storms
that thicken over the heads of the victims
of drink. It Is the sunshine that glad
dens many a fireside and warms Into new
life many a heart crushed by the curse of
liquor. It la all that and more, because it
is the work of charity with God s blessing
upon it. Furthermore, among the things
that are sacred to every true Christian
heart is reverence for tbe sanctity of the
Lord's day. Now, the greatest enemy of
the Lord's day is the Sunday drinking and
the open desecration by the saloon. This
ia a shame and an outrage on Christian
feeling.
Our boasted civilisation has made slow
and somewhat uncertain progress. Indeed,
when in a Christian land blessed as our Is,
we are still trying, at the end of the
nineteenth century, to save the Sunday
from the desecration of the saloon. But
we have the hope that the Christian peo
ple of this Christian land will not be de
spoiled of the Christian Inheritance of a
sanutilled Sabbath, when they demand
that it shall be kept free from the demor
alizing Influence of the open Sunday sa
loon, whether sanctioned by the law, or
connived at ky unfaithful officers of the
law; and our hoi is strengthened by the
action of the Cuthollc Total Abstlnece
Union of American in conjunction with
other great temperance organizations of
tho country, ami the country Is proud of
the noble stand taken by the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America, at
its recent national convention Iti the city
of New York, in favor of the due and
proper observance of the Lord's day
We are glad, therefore, to honor and
praise your work. We rejoice with you In
this year of your silver Jubilee. We re
joice to see your orgoiiizatlon Increase In
numbers and In the beneficent Intluence it
is exerting in the interest of society.
They Honored the Town.
We are glad you have come to Jermyn.
and have honored our town with the mag
nificent demonstration we and our dill
dren lhave witnessed today, and have
given us this grand object lesson In prac
tical total abstinence. We welcome you,
and our citizens with one accord, and with
open hearts, ofi'er you the freedom of tho
city. The town Is yours today. Mako
yourselves at home among us. And when
you go home may it be with the convic
tion that you were Indeed truly welcome,
and a desire to aiculn visit us at some fu
ture time. I will now avail myself of
this opportunity to publicly thank your
Irtistor, the Rev. Father Lynott, for the
assls-iance he so kindly rendered me in the
performance of this otfliial duty.
After Burgess Nicholson's remarks
the temperance men and their friends
devoted a season to enjoyment and re
moving old acquaintances. During the
afternoon drills were given by the St.
Paul Pioneer corps, of the West Side,
and the Father Whltty Young .Men, of
Providence.
lAt 4.30 the visitors began to depart,
and the truins that left Jermyn from
that time on were well filled.
Notes of the Pnrn Jo.
Ell Beers was a consplcuouc figure In
the Pioneer Father Mathew society, of
Carbondule.
Senator James C. Vaughan and City
Editor M. J. o'Toole walked at the head
of St. Peter's society, of Hedevue.
In the absence of Captain J. J. Me
Guire, John I'ollliia made an excellent
commander for the third dlvMon.
The St. Aloyslus society of the South
Side made a splendid appearance. Its
members are all young men who were
neatly uniformed with becoming cups,
white vests and ties and dark trousers
and coats. They carried canes end were
more favorably commented on than any
other bodv of young men In the parade.
Captain V. II. Il.rk?, of Providence,
went to Jermyn to see the parade and was
greeted by the many warm friends he has
among the temperance workers of the val
ley. Captain Burke was for years Identi
fied with the Scranton Diocesan union and
no general parade of that body was con
sidered a success unless guided by his
masterly hand. Captain Burke's last ap
pearance as grand marshal of a union pa
rade was on the occasion of the monster
general parade at Hazleton, seven years
ago, when 9.OU0 total abstainers paraded
the streets of the 'Mountain City. It re
quired experience and more than ordinary
skill to handle such a body of men In that
city, but so well was It done that the
parade ranks as the most notable In the
history of the Scranton union. That night
while the temperance men were return
ing home occurred the terrible collision at
Mud Run. when sixty-four lives were
blotted out. Captain Hurke could not for
get that terrible night at the lonely little
mountain station where the noisy Le
high river sang a requiem for his dead end
mungled comrades. Since then he has led
no such parade; he has taken no part In
any that has been held,

LARGE RESERVOIR BURST
About 2,500,000 Gallons of Water
Flood Mattes Street.
YOUNG WOMAN CAUGHT IX IT
The Lackawanna Iron Steel Company's
Reservoir, Which Burst Sevaa Years
Ago.Gave Way Again Last Evening.
Great Consternation Caused.
Seven years ago, In the winter of 1SSS,
soon after It was built, the 'Mattes
street storage reservoir of the Lacka
wanna Iron and Bteel company burst
and let loose 2,500,000 gallons of water;
it was immediately rebuilt and had
been continuously in use until 6.25 last
evening, when It burst again. The first
time it broke loose a great deal more
damage was done, as It was the wall
fronting on the street which gave way.
Last evening the wall on the upper side
crumbled and the force of the escaping
water was broken by surging against a
high idle of Iron ore running parallel
with the wall about thirty feet away
from It.
The water, after leaving the reservoir,
had a circuitous outlet to the street.
It was hemmed In by obstructions in
the shape of piles of Iron ore and the
abutments of the trestllngs; but, not
withstanding these facts, the water
possessed a mighty force, and It swept
out on Mattes street with all the
strength of hydraulic power.
Miss Lena Dorge, a young woman,
22 years of age, who boards with her
uncle. Engineer Cornelius Decker, of
41.1 Franklin avenue, was walking
toward the South Side, and she got
past the Mattes street bridge when the
water came rushing out. She tried to
run ahead, hoping to escape from the
embraces of the tlood, but It caught her
and whirled her down through the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
repair yard.
Rescued by FIroman Tom Campbell.
Frank, the Italian fruit vender, whose
Httle market Is at the corner of Lacka
wanna avenue nnd Mattes street, ran
to the Phoenix Knglne house and told
Driver Tom Campbell and Engineer J.
W. George, of the chemical engine, that
a woman had been caught In the flood.
Both firemen bad heard the noise of
the escaping water, but they imagined
that the feather renovating factory,
next door, had collapsed, and they were
preparing to get the engine out. Messrs.
Campbell and George rushed out, and
the former waded Into the flood, which
was then about four feet deep, and
directed by the young woman's
screams, reached her and carried her
out of the water. The yard Is promis
cuously littered with broken cars, axles,
wheels and such material. Miss Dorge
was terribly bruised and was bleeding
from wounds on ihe head, back and
hinds.
'She was carried to the Phoenix En
gine house, where she was cared for
and prepared for removal to her home.
She was brought home on the chemical
cnelne. Dr. Everhart was sent for,
and attended to her. She Is still suffer
ing from the wounds and a severe
nervous Bhock.
The water carried with It large blocks
of stone that were In the wall, and
lifted them 200 feet from the break In
the reservoir. Blocks weighing two
tons were caught up like pieces of
wood. One large Hock was lifted out
on Mattes street. In the middle of the
tracks, and had to be broken wltn a
sledge hammer.
Description of on V.yt Witness.
One who wa only a block from the
reservoir when the wall gave way said
thatl.Mattes street wasllcioded with two
inches of water a few intimites before
the flood came, which would Indicate
that a smull leak, sprung at first and
enlarged until It carried the entire side
of the reservoir with it. The reservoir
Is situated' between the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western railroad and
the wagon road that diverges from
Mattes street and runs up by the blast
furnace engine house. It was the wall
that adjoins the railroad tracks which
gave way. The entire length of it,
fully 100 feet, was swept over against
an ore pile. The water then had a pas
sageway twenty feet wide to Mattes
street and It came out ten feet deep.
Reaching Mattes stret't It covered It
over from the crossings below to almost
five feet from the Intersection with
Lackawanna avenue. As it came rush
ing out the narrow channel from the
reservoir it struck against the retain
ing w all of the iMattes street bridge on
the right and dammed up to a point
only a few feet below the curve on
Lackawanna avenue.
The repair yard was the outlet, and
as it dashed down through there the
heterogeneous railway material was
borne along like straws. A gondola
that stood near the sidewalk was
moved more than fifty feet and tilted
on Its side. The heavy plank sidewalk
on Mattes street was removed to the
opposite side of the thoroughfare and
one end of It covered the street car
tracks. The water carried detritus in
such large quantities as to leave a
coating of mud nearly a foot deep In
Its path.
Tcinpcrnrcs Men I senpod.
A minute more and two special onrs
carrying a large number of South Ride
temperance men would have hesn
caught. The wreck car. In charge of
.nasicr '.uecnanic 'frank vvampler, was
almost In the path of the flood, but
.Mr. Wampler took warning In time and
reversed the car quick enough to get
out cf tho way.
The damage will not exceed probably
S.'.OOO. The basements on the lower
r'lais, rrom River to Hlckorv streets.
contained from three to five feet of
water each. The path of the water
was through the repair yard, nnd conse
quently had not much to destroy. The
breaking of the reservoir did not Inter
fere with the operation of the blast
furnace, as there nre other sources of
water supply for the hollers. The
water whs pumped from the station on
South Washington avenue. General
Manager C. W. McKinney Is at Leb
anon and could not be seen for a state
ment as to whether' the reservoir will
be rebuilt. Its walls were about eight
feet thick at the bas, filled It, with
concrete, and a yard In thlcgness at tho
top. The dimensions were about lOOx

Paine's Celery Compound.
The common sense of the people has
long refused to believe that rheumatism
and neuralgia were diseases hopeless
of cure.
Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D
LL. D., of Dartmouth college, has con
firmed their belief. There is an abso
lute specific for both of these diseases
In Paine's cellcry compound. Thou
sands of men and 'women are every
year entirely freed from these two tor
turing disorders by Paine's celery com
pound. Neuralgla-paln affects first one part
of the body and then another. Nature's
restorer, sleep, Is sought in vain, anjl
life's ordinary duties become burdens
too heavy to be borne. In this
condition of sleeplessness nature's call
for rest must be regarded. If unheed
ed, serious consequences are likely t1)
ensue. The nerves must be built up by
a proper nerve food. There is nothing
equal to Paine's celery compound.
The body Is not a machine which
simply wears out after a certain num
ber of years, but a. vital organism
having the power of revivifying Itself
capable of being hard worked, but de
manding frequent times of recupera
tion In sleep.

ant supply of nutriment for every tis
sue of the body is the purpose for which
Paine's celery compound was first pre
pared. This rapid production of fresh
nervous energy and pure blood was
the one endeavor of Professor Edward
E. Phelps" long study of the cause of
nervous exhaustion.
The result of his life work was Paine's
celery compound, that remarkable rem
edy that permanently and speedily
cured disease. It is the greatest nerve
regulator and blood purifier of this
present century.
For men and women out of health,
Paine's celery compound should be
tried 'without fall. It has meant health
In place of sickness in thousands of
cases that seemed hopeless.
The fact that thla is the season when
rheumatism most painfully shows
Itself, makes the following communica
tion from J. 'M. Tobias, of ISouth Oma
ha, Neb., of special Interest. Mr. To
bias writes:
"I suffered for years with rheumatism
In the Joints) of my hands and arms.
so that I could perform my work only
with the greatest difficulty. I used all
kinds of medicines without result.
Fnally I secured a bottle of Paine's
celery compound, and it benefitted me
at once. H'ulne's celery compound cer
tainly cures rheumatism!"
