SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Martin Murray naa III Arm Badly
Crushed.
A serious accident occurred to Martin
Murray yesterday morning, which may
necessitate In the amputation of his
arm. Mr. Murray Is employed as fire
man a the Delaware and Hudson Fall
brook fan, and goes about his duties
very early in the morning In order to
have the machinery in perfect order
before the work of the day commences.
He was engaged in oiling the engine
at the time when In some manner his
left arm waa caught between the crank
shaft and some other part of the ma
chinery and crushed In a terrible man
ner, both bones being crusneu anu ine
flesh badly torn.
There waa no one at the fan house at
the time of the accident, and the unfor
tunate man lay uxn the floor for some
time before any one came. The en
gineer came In later, however, and find
ing Murray at once went ror assist
ance. The man was men oonveycu iu
IiIh home on Cordon street, and Drs.
Kelly. Fltzsimmons and Bailey sent for.
After a consultation the doctors
thought that it would be udvtsuble to
have the arm taken tiff, but Murray
refused to let them do '.his until all
hopes of saving It were gone. The doc
tors complied with his request although
they have no hopes of accomplishing
anything.
WILL OPEN TODAY.
The New Telephone Exohang Now
Ready.
Carbomliile will now havo an easy
means of communication with Scran
ton and other towns down the valley
and with Honesdale, the opening of the
new telephone exchange making that
an easy matter.
A telephone exchange Is what we
have needed for a long time and busi
ness men and others are haptiy In the
accomplishment of the scheme. The
work on the plant Is going on rapidly,
the switch board being pluced In posi
tion on Monday. Fifty local phones
can be operated and there will also be
two Ions distance wires. All the wires
will run Into a box at the Intersection
of Main and Salem avenues, from where
they will Join Into a cable to run Into
the exchange. ,
The exchange will be open sixteen
hours each day.
The Misses Annie McMillan and
Lottie .Kills being the operators In
charge: The effort to get the Trac
tion people to Join In the use of the
new pules failed, and the appearance
of the streets will be spoiled to some
extent. Canvassers will at once be sent
out over the city.
STROGOFF STRANDED.
The Company's Baggage Is So I rod by
Scranton People.
Tho hot weather of the past few
weeks has made the theatrical business
a most unpleasant and unprofitable
one. No one has realized this more
than the company which played Michael
Strogoff here on Monday evening, who,
instead of filling thetr cofTers with
money, haT gradually lost all they
had, and at Scranton were obliged to
go in debt. They were allowed to come
to this city In hopes that enough money
would be made from the performance
to pay the bill. The hotel men s hopes
were blasted, however, for the fickle
public of this place failed to turn out,
and the company were obliged to go
through their parts to rows of empty
seats, filled here and there by some
curious person who knew something
was the matter, yet did not know what
it was.
The members of the company were
quartered at the American house, and
before they left the city their baggage
was attached by Proprietor Williams
Proprietor McBride, of the Westmins
ter, Scranton, also had a constable on
deck and he attached the scenery of the
company, thus leaving the members
homeless and destitute upon the hands
of an unsympathlzlng public.
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
A Move In This Direction Made by South
Main Street Residents.
We are always glad to see Improve
ments, no matter where they are, but
especially are we glad to see Improve
ments which are going on In our midst,
Among those who are possessed with
the spirit of Improvements are the
residents of South Main street, who de
sire that the streets be Improved and
graded. The matter was brought be
fore the councils Monday evening and
they passed a resolution Instructing the
city engineer to prepare a profile of the
street from its Intersection with Pike
to Sand street; also to fix width and
grade.
This has been done that the abutters
may know what the grading and curb
Ing would cost. The petition for the
Improvements will be circulated as
soon as these plans are prepared.
To start Work at Once.
The council since Its reorganization
shows Itself to be a most progressive
body, and they are taking up the public
improvements with a vim. Among
other things done at the meeting Mon
day evening was the passing of resolu
tions on the paying of Belmont street.
The city clerks will at once notify the
Park Paving company that the city
Is ready for the work. A resolution on
the moving of the car tracks was also
passed.
