OBITUARY.
William Simpfon Sloan, second vice-
president of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad, whose death, at
the age of It., has just been announced in
the I'i'css. was a man whose rare personal
qualities madu him a host of friends ami
wnose uiiiuiy nun iui nun u piuimueui
place In the railroad and llnancial world.
Mr. Sloan was born In Brooklyn. N. Y
where his boyhood was spent. He was
graduated from Columbia college in lssJ.
at which time he entered the service of
the Delaware, Lackawanna und Western
railroad. In 1SS1 he was made assistant
geiierul freight agent, and in IhfhJ became
third vice-president and general freight
agent. He held this position until a short
lime before his death, when he was made
second vice-president, which position ne
held at tile time of his death.
Hi' represented the Deluware, Lacka
wanna and Western railroad on the Trunk
Lino association, and took an important
part In the management of that organiza
tion. He was formerly a director of the
Hank of the State of New York. M'
Sloan was active in many lines of religious
and philanthropic effort. He Was an elder
In the Dutch Reformed church and a mem
ber of the executive commltteo of .he
American Trad society, and was a leading
spirit in the movement which has result
ed In the erection of a handsome new
building for that society In New York city.
He was also a member of tho board of
managers of Columbia college and an olll
cer of the Alumni society.
Mr. Sloan was closely Identified with the
work of tho Young Men's Christian asso
ciation, especially of tho railroad depart
ment. He was a member of the state com
mittee of New York and of the commltteo
having charge of the railroad branches

line of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western railroad will his death be felt
He was active in organising several of tho
existing associations along the line, and
nlways gave his heHfty support to their
work. His visit to Scranton some years
ago for the purpose of aiding tho local
railroad department of tho Young Men's
Christian association Is well remembered
by the railroad men of this city, to whom
the news of his death came as a personal
loss.

BOARD OF TRADE'S
GREAT JUBILEE
WiU Tale Place Whei the New Building
Is Finished.
MANY NOTED MEN WILL ATTEND
An Elaborate Basque! tad Possibly
Two-Uuy Prof raeAdvocted
by Ike Board's Most Promiaemt
Menib'r8.rraageiueat 8ooa to
Be Started.
No new building- In this section of the
state was given the elaborate "open
ing'' that will attend the christenlrg
of the new building of the Scranton
board of trade. Among the leading
spiiits on the board and among its most
substantial members the proposed
opening has been considered for some
time.
It is not the Intention to throw open
the doora, decorate the structure, listen
to a speaker and let all that be tne
cpenlng. Something on a much more
elaborate scale is contemplated. The
plan Is to make the event last one whole
day und possibly two and to Include
in the programme a banquet, the mag
nlilcence and completeness of which
was never before given in Scranton
and to have here as guests some of the
best known mer iu the country.
Such a big project could not be car
ried out without the weighty support
of the city's most prominent and in
fluential business and financial ele
ment, nor could it be done on behalf of
a commonplace object. But such men
us K. B. Sturges, Colonel H. M. Boles,
C. D. Simpson, T. H. Watkins, K. L.
Fuller, Colonel E. H. Ripple. Alfred
Hand. A. W. Dickson, J. A. Lansing,
Luther Keller. William T. Smith, Wil
liam F. Hallstead, William Connell,
John T. Porter, John Jermyn and many
ethers are to be made the executive
head of the Idea. As for the object. It
is more generally appreciated every
day that each stone laid in the building
is binding and cementing the commer
cial prestige of Scranton, a prestige
that is already strong, and It Is pro
posed to put the building, the body
which occupies It and the city before
the outside public In a forcible way.
CHAUNCEY AND OTHERS.
It has been assuied that Chadncey
M. Depew and ex-governor Foraktr
will accept Invitations to. be present at
the banquet, and they are only two of
peiha!8 a dozen men of national re
pute who will probably be here.
While the scheme has not reached a
point where an organization of board of
trade members has been made to carry
out the arrangements, the project will
be laid before the June meeting of the
board and put into execution at that
time. An early beginning is deemed
necessary, as the building contract pro
vides for the completion of the struc
ture by Nov. 1. The building commit
tee, however, has been assured by Con
tractor Schroeder that the work will
be finished by Oct. 1, four months
hence. The Intervening time, it Is be
lieved. Is none too long to make the
arrangements necessary for so big an
event.
Besides men of national prominence,
it Is proposed to bring here as guests
of the board come of the best known
financiers and commercial spirits of
many of tho large cities of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.
To do all this will require large
expenditures involving a possible
sum which cannot be estimated
at this time, but the purpose Is
not so much to advance the build
ing or the board of trade Into promin
ence as to bring here a class of men
who it la desired to make acquainted
with the city's marvelous growth and
developement and Its business and so
cial advantages.
SCHEME OF ENTERTAINMENT.
To do all this it is not the intention
to use the opening and the banquet
as the only medium. An elaborate
scheme of entertainment by means of
drives and excursions to mines and
mills and over pleasure routes Is con
templated. It all will be managed and
conducted on en elaborate scale com
mensurate with the worth and repute
of the men who will be here as guests.
The grand opening scheme was an
ticipated by the leading members of
the board last spring, when should have
bren celebrated by a banquet the
board s Bllver anniversary. The ban
quet advocates were silenced by means
not given to the public, but which now
appears to have been in some way
identified with the opening. Anyhow,
the scheme Is afoot and when the ar
rangements nre perfected In detail and
the list of prospective guests is an
nounced It will be better appreciated
whut a big and brilliant time Is on the
carpet.
The boa id treasury has not enough
money to bear the expense of a tenth
part of the project, but It has been
assured that ut least twenty-five well
to-do members can be relied upon to
head a subscription fund with amounts
that will rnuke the expense only an
incidental consideration.
NOVEL BALLOON ASCENSION.
M ill Be Seen at the Driving Park on
July 4.
A novel feature will be introduced ut
the annual games of the Caledonian
ciub in Laurel Hill park on July 4. The
day will be devoted mainly to the ath
letic contests and at night there will be
a balloon ascension with fireworks.
When the aeronaut ascends In the air
a certain distance above the ground he
will light a number of set pieces of tire
works attached to the car of the balloon
and the parachute and will also tire off a
quantity of tire works that he will carry
In the cur with him, giving the balloon
the appearance of an Immense star ex
ploding In mid air.
A handsome silk banner is to be
presented to the society making the best
showing In an exhibition drill between
civic societies of not less than thirty
two men each.
HE TALKS ABOUT X-RAYS.
Hugh Feciinti, of Albany, N. V., Here
i'or That Purpose.
Hugh Feenan, of Albany, N. V Is
in the city for the purpose of Interesting
medical men in the Edison cathode ray
apparatus.
Mr. Feenan Is an enthusiast in speak
lug of tho incalculable good that will
result from the application of the X
rays to medical science. By Edison's
device It Is possible for a physician In a
few minutes to see any portion of the
human frame as clearly as If denuded of
tlesh.
Mr. Feenan says that a ray has not
been discovered that will penetrate bone
and therefore, as yet, the brain cannot
be seen and studied by means of the
latest achievement of science. Mr. Fee'
nan expects to have an X-ray apparatus
here within a week.
SAUL OFTARSUS.
Was Well Nung by Elm Park's Ep-
worth League Chorus.
"Saul of Tarsus," a descriptive cho.
rus. was sung last night by the Epworth
league chorus of Elm Park church In
the lecture room of the church. The
rendition of the classical composition
was excellent and it was an unfortu
nae circumstance that the rain was re
sponsible for the small audience,
Many of those present expressed the
wish that it will be repeated and this
will probably be done. It was given
for the benefit of the Epworth league.
' The chorus was conductei by O. F.
Whlttemore; Miss Maggie Clarke was
the accompanist, and U. H. Beldleman
read the descriptive story. The soloists
were: Miss Kdith duBois. soprano, a
pupil of Mrs. Schilling and who will
soon assume the position of soloist at
the Ureo Ridge Presbyterian church;
Miss Carrie Hetdlenutn. soprano: Miss
Victoria Greiiner, contralto; Miss The
resa Smith, alto: Arthur Van Oorder.
David Grtmths and Charlc A. Whltte

The words of the chorus are by Ed
ward Oxenford, and the music by T.
Mee Pattlson.

AWFUL PLUNGE OF

Hs Had a Brood of Chickens in a
Building Erected Over the Entrance
to the Vault and Was Feeding Them
When the Floor ave WaySeveral
JKeet of Slimy Water Saved His Life.
George Fuehs, of 412 Cedar avenue,
evidently was not born to be drowned,
nor killed by falling a great height,
for In an awful experience yesterday
morning death was presented to hiin
In both of these shapes, but yet he es
caped with slight bruises. He fell into
an abandoned beer vault, sixty feet
deep, in which there Is several feet of
slimy water.
In the rear ot Mr. Fuch's saloon ut
the number given above. Is a bowling
alley, extending buck almost to the
bunk of the Roaring Brook stream, and
underneath the saloon and alley is the
vuult, the dimensions of which ure ap
prolinately 40 by ir.U by 60 feet. Mrs. M.
Robinson owns the property rented t
Mr. Fuchs, and ten or twelve years
ago this cavity was used for storing
bi-er in vats.
The vats were filled at the brewery,
two blocks away, und carted on wagons
to the vault. There was uu entrance
on Cedar avenue, under the sidewalk,
and through It tho vats were let down
an incline plane and kept on Ice until
occasion required their use.
When the vuts were taken out. It
was dune at the other end of the vault,
on the bank of the brook, where a
story and a half structure was fitted
up with a hoisting apparatus. The
sides of the vault at this end are per
pendicular and from the floor of the
building to the floor below, the dlstunce
Is fully sixty feet.
A RELIC OF TI1F. PAST.
With the advent of tho Ice machine
and compressed air refrigerators, the
manner of preserving beir by storing
it underground on Ice was done away
with, and for the past decade this par
ticular vault has been a relic of the
past, and has fallen Into abandonment.
The building was boarded up, so tiiat
there might be no danger of any per
son falling into the vault. Fuchs had
a brood of chickens that he wanted to
isolate for a few weeks and he kept
them in the building. He went in yes
terday morning with feed for then.,

Down he went feet foremoyt. his wits
scared out of him, and he struck on the

came tumbling down nftor him. This
happened to him about 9 o'clock, and
he i-iont over an hour in his watery
position, Ehoutiiifr nnd screaming at the
top of his voice for help.
CHILDREN HEAR HIM.

nnd communicated the news to old Mrs.
Fuchs. Th neighbors got a ton ml and
by the aid of ropes the prisoner was
rescued. His head was cut painfully
by being struck with the flooring: ns it
dropped down ufter him, but aside from
that and the terrible nervous shock, he
was all right. He took a little stimu
lants and an hour after being taken
out h was able to walk about.

let from it to the Roaring Brook, but
the water flows In faster than It Hows
out, and there Is always between 0 and
8 feet of slimy water in it.
