Lack of Humidity Was the Feature of November Weather. II. E. Pnlno, voluntary weather ob server for Scranton, has sent his report for the month of November to the me teorological bureau. The total rain fall of the month was only one and three-fourths inches. This is lew) than half what has fallen every November for tho past seven years.. The averaKO Is three and one-half inches for the pre ceding seven Novembers. The average maximum temperature waa fifty and seventeen-tlilrtteths de grees; the average minimum is thirty three and two-thirtieths degrees. What is means by these statistics is that the highest temperatures are added to gether and divided by thirty, and the same with the lowest temperatures. Tho warmest day of tho month was Nov. It, when the mercury went to 72; the coldest wns Nov. ?2, when it went down to 15. It snowed on Nov. 2, 20. 21 and 30. The heaviest rainfall in any twenty-four consecutive hours was on Nov. 15, when forty-four hundredths of nn Inch fell. The prevailing winds were west. There were nine clear days, eight par tially cloudy ones and thirteen cloudy ones. The feature of the weather was the small amount of rainfall. It rained on but six days. It was a very bleak month nnd not unlike the one lmmor tulized by the poet Burns. GARDNER AGaTx AKRESTED. Ho Is Charged with Issuing Bogus In surance Policies. J. W. Gardner, alias Luce, alias Vos burg, was caught In the police drag net last night. Gardner's operations have been quite extensive, covering a period of nearly a year and for boldness are quite unequalled in this region. They began Inst Spring when he secured from D. C. Thomas the sub-agency for the Iron Mutual Insurance company of Pittsburg and began his work by a series of misdeeds which culminated in his arrest on May 11. While in the cus tody of Patrolman Sartor, going alonK Alder street to the station house, he shot himself in the temple with sul cldul Intent. He was taken to the Lackawanna hospital, where he lin gered for a time between life and death. Finally he recovered and one night made his escape from tho hospital. He disappeared for a month or so, but after the matter had died out to a cer tuin extent he took up his residence in this city, occupying rooms at a board ing house on Mifflin avenue. Uy some means known us yet only by himself, he secured a quantity of blank policies belonging to insurance companies rep resented by C. G. Holand and repre senting himself as an agent In Mr. .Inland's employ went about In isolated districts doing insurance business at very low rates. The outskirts of Dunmore and the district lying between Dunmore and Olyphunt was ills principal stamping ground, but he even went so far as to do business In this city, as complaints received by Chief Simpson would indi cate. He not only secured the first payment of $5 or $6, which he Invariably insisted on. but when he could arrange for monthly payments would call to collect them, as happened in several instances already heard of. Police After Him Agi .. Tho first complaint against Gardner was lodged by one of his victims in this city. Chief Simpson hnd a war rant sworn out and almost every night for tho lust month Lieutenant Davies nas had the officer on the Mlftlln ave nue beat keep a lookout for Gardner. All this time, however, he was working in the upper part of the valley and living in Dunmore. Last evening he returned to his Mifflin avenue house, and by a singular coincidence an Oly phant constable enme here yesterday afternoon seeking Chief Simpson's as sistance in locating him. oeveral holders of his bogus policies in that town Inquired Into the genuineness of the policies, with the result that they were clearly convinced that C. G. .Bo lam had no Buch man on the road, and that the fellow was a representative of no company or agency whatever. They then began a hunt for their dollars and revenge and as a lirst step dispatched the Olypliant officer to this city to look up the victimlzrr. Patrolmnn Neula accompanied tho constable to Gardner's house, nnd to their pleasant surprise and his deep chagrin found him at home. He 'wns arrested on the Olyphant warrant and will be turned over to his victims in that locality. The warrant which Chief Simpson holds will be kept In abeyance. The publishing of his arrest will, no doubt, bring to light the full extent of Gardner's operations. Another Plan lie Worked. It has also come to light that he has been working in Taylor and Old Forge as the representative of the Cosmo politan lluilding and Loan Association of Syracuse. Gardner Is about R0 years of age and of a somewhat attractive and digniiled bearing. He is said, also, to possess ex ceptional shrewdness and cunning. A PECULAR DEATH. Allowed Deadly fumes to Escape from a fins Conductor with Kami Results. Michael Kubiak, a laborer at the blast furnace, met his death Saturday at noon in a peculiar manner. For some unaccountable reason he opened a slide in one of the big gas conductors and before he could get away from the spot was enveloped in llamo and suffocated by the deadly ft'mes. All Bigns of life had disap peared before medical aid could be summoned. Coroner Kelly inquired Into the mat ter and, with a jury consisting of Kd ward Gardner, Michael Gilroy, John J. Sheets, James Hoffman, Jacob Km erich and Patrick Connnerton, came to the conclusion that death was acci dental and that the company was in no wise to blame. Deceased was 28 years of age and lived on Kirst street. South Hide. A wife and one child survive hirn. The Pennsylvania Hoofing Company has the best pipe covering In the city.

Saturday evening's Times contained the following significant interview with General Mine Suiierlntendent Benjamin Hughes, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company: "For some time aast a re-sort has been circulated to the effect that the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail road has endorsed the candidacy of James Moir, for mayor, and Thomas D. Davies for city treasurer in the coming municipal election. The report was based upon what was presumed to be good authority and was given credence by many. In elections heretofore simi lar reports have been circulated in re gurd to other candidates, but have never really been vertlled. In this In stance, however, the candidate for city treasurer Is a foreman under the D., L. & W company and for thut reason the report is more generally believed thnn it has been in previous campaigns. The company's representatives, however, deny and ridicule the Idea and claim it to be a false report issued for the benefit of certain candidates for only the time being. "That the names of certain officials aro used in campaigns for the benefit of certain candidates is admitted, some times for intimidation, Bometimes for the friendly Influence they possess. At all events It Is done without the know ledge or consent of the persons whose name is used. Superintendent Hughes Interviewed "In order that the report might either be verified or effectually denied a Times reporter called upon General Mine Sup erintendent Benjamin Hughes, whose name Is among those in use in behalf of Messrs. Moir and Pa vies. When told of the report he laughed and ridi culed the Idea saying: 'I didn't know there was any such report out. The Idea is absurd, and not true. This rom pany doesn't care about the election, and furthermore Davies is not a candi date. I thought Westpfahl was paired with Moir.' Pointing to Mine Foreman Decker, Mr. Hughes said: 'There If; one of our foreman, ask him if he has had any Instructions.' Mr. Decker turning about said that he had not been informed of any preference held by the company. "Continuing the superintendent Eahl: 'Oftentimes candidates do come to me nnd ask me to use my influence, but I never promise. I sometimes do ask the foremen how they are on such and such a man, and they reply that they are for or against him, but that is all. I tell them all right and they may do ns they wish. I never tell them how they shall act; It wouldn't be right to do so. Fore men are also waited upon by candi dates sometimes, but I do not know what they do. They are never instruct ed, and as none of the miners have ever come to me with complaints, I feel safe in saying that they are never intimidat ed. It is always optional with them how they vote and it is the game with the foremen as to where they put their Influence. Nothing Heard About I'slng Influence. " 'If the candidate Is a good man they can work In hia behalf which they have a perfect right to do while they confine themselves to the bounds of propriety. I have heard absolutely nothing, how ever,, in this campaign about using my Influence for anyone.' "When asked about reports to the ef fect that the company worked in behalf of candidates in previous elections, Mr. Hughes declared it was false." MR. CARPENTER'S LECTURE. Ho Will Bo Heard at the V. M. C. A. Hall Tomorrow Night. Tho Toung Men's Christian associa tion has been fortunate In securing for the second number of their standurd course on Tuesday evening, Dec. 3. Frank O. Carpenter, the famous news paper corresiiondent. Probably no other man In tlte United States har "Intervtewed" bo many famous person ages as has Mr. Carpenter. It is satO that he hns In the past ten years trav eled over two hundred thousand miles, and to use his own words, "put a news pa ped girdle around the globe." , His recent trip through the Orient was made successful because of stir ring letters from our cabinet ministers, and diplomats which pracurred Inter views for him with the Mikado and famous men of Japan and with L! Hung Chang, of China. His stereoptl con views were prepared by photo graphers who accompanied him on hi? trip and colored by Chinese, 'Japanese and Kerean artists. Mr. Carpenter's characteristic de scription ft! himself Is that he re sembles Artemua Ward and Joel Chan dler Harris, but is uglier than either.

The judge was not In a frame of mind thut could he termed pleased at the introduction of music in the jury room as u hel'i in relieving the tedium of the jurors. He expressed his disappro bation of their conduct by saying that ho was not aware of what they thought of the administration of justice, but ho assured them that It could not be re garded a good way to go about it. He asked them If there was any pos sibility of an agreement among them and was answered by the foreman that there was none.

Taylor Exercises Included a Splendid Programme of Vocal and Instru mental Mnslo and Recitations. Probably the Frothlngham theater will never contain a larger crowd than wus last night within its four walls to witness the annual lodge of sorrow of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. All over the United States at the same hour began similar exercises in honor of the memory ot Elks who have died. "While this Order lives our members can never bo forgotten," is one of the phrases frequently appearing in liter ature of Elkdom and which usually is printed on the lodge of sorrow pro grammes. Certainly last night's func tion was sufficiently elaborate and im pressive to fulfill Its object in Scran ton, and, if the services throughout the country were as beautiful, the departed Elks must really live in the memory and be more than ashes or crumbling dust. The exercises included vocal and In strumental selections by eminent local artists and organizations, soprano solos by Mme. Kate Rollo, of New York city, and recitations by Miss Tillie Lewis, of Wllkes-Barre, who last year assisted In a similar service in the Academy of Music. The programme was introduced and closed by Elk ceremony conducted by Exalted Ruler P. F. Gunster, who wns assisted by other officers of the Scranton lodge. The memorial address was delivered by Attorney George V Taylor. Although 8 o'clock was announced in the Invitations as the hour for opening, the theater was practically filled at 7.30 o'clock, and fifteen minutes later It contained several hundred more than its seating capacity and probably two hundred persons left the doors of the theater before 8"o'clock and after find ing that all the seats had been taken. The overflow ranged Itself along the walls on the main floor and in the bal cony and gallery; the eight boxes and all the logos were occupied, and perhaps a hundred persons were conducted to lofty seats on the platform which en circles the files above the stage. F.Iks Occupied tho Stage. The curtain hid the stage from view until 8.15 o'clock, and when It was raised It disclosed over a hundred Elks sitting on tiers of chairs behind the following officers in the front row: Exalted Ruler P.
