from the Electric Car.
Coroner S. P. Longstreet and' the
Jury sworn to Inquire into the cause of

night and the testimony of several wit
nesses was heard. Court Stenographer
Willis D. Coston took down what was

peared In the Interest of O'Boyle's two
children, and ex-Judge W. H. Jessup
was ptvsetit as counsel for the Scranton
Traction company. Mr; Duggan Is pre
paring to bring suit against the com
pany. The verdict was as follows: "We, the
undersigned Jurors, believe that Pat
rick O'Boyle came to his death from
concussion of the brain caused by his
Jumping or fulling from a moving car of
th Scranton Traction company, and
that his said falling or Jumping was due
to his being frightened by a Hush from
the controller in the front of the cur.
Edward M. Pennypacker, D. S. Ryan,
W. P. Kingsbury, R. F. Mellon, Thomas
P. Canuvan and J. J. Kternan."
JUMPED FROM THE CAR.
O'Boyle was riding on a Dunmore Su
burban car which left the end of the
line in Dunmure on Friday night, June
19, at 10.40. When the car reached a
point near the Suburban Electric Light
walks on North Washington avenuv,
the flash mentioned In the verdict shot
out of the switch box in the front of
the car and scared him so that he
jumped up from where he was sitting
near the stove and ran to the hind plat
form and off onto the asphalt pavement.
His Injuries resulted In death the next
night at the Lackawanna hospital.
Postmaster Frank McDonald, of Dun
more, was the first witness. ' The track
on North Washington avvnue between
Oak street and a point half way be
tween that and the electric light works
was being repaired and passengers hnd
to be transferred. Mr. McDonald and
M. B. O'Horo were sitting on a pile of
ties waiting for a Dunmore car to come
down and they noticed as the car on
which O'Boyle rode was about opposite
the electric lights works that a blaze of
light flashed up In front of the car and
extended to the roof of It. They heard
that a man had been injured by fulling
or jumping off that car.
Frank M. Knight, the only other pas
senger on the car, swore that he got
on at New York street, paid his fare,
and then went to the front platform, ns
he was smoking. He spoke a few words
to O'Boyle. Knight said that after the
car passed Larch street the conductor
came out to give him a transfer and
Just then the blaze shot out from the
BWltchbox. He got scared and bolted
Inside the car, the motorman was scared
and the blaze singed Knight's coat. The
car was going so that he would attempt
neither to get off or on. He saw O'Boyle
Jump and go out the back door, told
the conductor and they afterwards went
back and picked him up.
TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.
John Kennedy, Charles Judge and
Conrad Miller, who were sitting at the
corner of Larch street, testied that the
car was going about twenty miles an
hour and they testified to seeing the
blaze of light. Miller fixed the rate of
speed from knowing what time he can
make on his bicycle. He said he can
pedal to Carbondale in less than an
hour and he cannot go any faster than
tne car went by Larch street. The
point where the accident occurred Is a
short distance below there.
Conductor Morris Brown and Motor
man John Gibbons fixed the speed of
the car at between seven and ten miles
an hour. Gibbons has railroaded six
teen years. Brown said that the flash
occurs quite frequently and does not
have a tendency to scare the passeneers.
Gibbons examined the controller and
found the insulation burned off one of
the wires. The conductor reported the
controller as needing repairing.

July Celebration.
COMMITTEE . HAS A LITTLE TILT
All Because the Term "American
Societies" M as Not Clearly Defined.
There Will Be No Speci-umaking,ai
Mas First ContemplatedIastruc
lions to Merehauts Intending to
Make Displays.
A large and busy meeting of the
Fourth of July committee was held at
the board of trade rooms last night.
Mayor Bailey presiding.
The most important happening was
the decision to do away with the ora
tory. Colonel Watres.chalrman of that
committee, felt that It would be Inad
visable to Introduce a stieech making
feature In the day's proceedings be
cause he feared It would fall flat When
Secretary Dunning transmitted this re
port the committee unanimously
agreed with Colonel Watres and the
oration was stricken from the pro
gramme. A lengthy discussion was occasioned
by Captain O'Hara, chairman of the
civic societies committee, asking for a
definition of the term "American soci
eties," which according to a report
adopted at the last meeting, are to be
given preference iu the line.
Ex-Mayor Fellows, father of the res
olution explained that he introduced it
at the request of the American societ
ies, and that the term "American so
cieties" Is applied to societies which
were not foreign societies.
A. F. O'Boyle thought there was no
need of discriminating when there
were none but American societies to
parude as he understood. If he did not
understand aright, then he thought
that the societies coming under the
category of American societies should
be uuined.
Dr. II. N. Dunnell, grand marshal of
the pnrude, said he would also like to
have the term thoroughly defined as It
devolved upon him to give the different
societies their places in line. His un
derstanding of the matter was that
societies such us the Culedonians and
Sons of St. George could not be classed
as American societies, because to ob
tuln membership In them one must be
In the one euHe a Scotchman and iu
the other an Englishman, and societies
such us the Junior Order United Amer
lean Moehunles and the Patriotic Or
der Sons of America, which require
American citizenship as the first re
quixitc of membership are those refer
led to In the resolution as "American
societies." The doctor occasioned ap'
plause by feelingly referring to the
Bcrvices of the French during the revo
lutlon and saying that if there was a
French society anywhere about he be
lieved In hunting It up and placing It at
the head of the profession. ,
MK. FELLOWS EXPLAINS.
Mr. Fellows explained that he did not
Introduce the resolution with any ex
pectation of causing any clash or hurt
ing anyone's feelings, However he had
no recession to make as his position In
the matter was perfectly proper.
Captain O'Hara said he felt assured
that Mr. Fellows was perfectly honest
In what he did and Innocent of any In
tention to engender any feeling. It was
a slip of the pen, he thought, in using
the word American, where there was no
need of It, but as the report had been
adopted and was In force he thought the
distinction should be made and asked
Mr. Fellows to make It.
Mr. Fellows declined to take any fur
ther part In a discussion which would
tend to arouse a clash and for answer
to Captain Burke's question, referred
him to Dr. Bunnell's talk, which, he
said, explulned what he wanted to
know.
D. J. Campbell insisted on Mr. Fel
lows enlightening the marshal on what
the resolution meant, but Mr. Fellows
said the marshal had Indicated that he
understood aright tho full meaning of
the resolution, and It would be super
lluous to dwell further on It. The mat
ter dropped here arid the reports of
committees was proceeded with.
It was agreed that the finance' com
mittee should come together this after
noon at 2.30 o'clock In the board of trade
rooms In order to arrange for a system
atic canvass. , .
THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY.
Frank Thompson, for the fireworks
committee, reported having selected a
site for the display on Linden Btreet,
near the court house, and that Paine's
fireworks had been contracted for. The
display will be the grandest be said
that has ever been seen here.
A stand to accommodate the Cambro-
American singers .will be erected
against the court house on the Linden
street Bide.
Secretary Dunning asked the trades
display committees to Instruct the
merchants that then- division will form
on Washington avenue, northwesterly
side, with, the right of line resting on
Spruce street. In order to avoid any
tangle. It is requested that the merch
ants will have their displays on the
ground early and that they will keep
the cross streets open.
Chief Hickey will have the chemical
engine on hand to take care of any fires
that may be caused by the fireworks
display on court house square.
Secretary Dunning presented a re
quest from the base ball association
that Inasmuch as the Wllk'es-Bariv
club refuses to transfer the afternoon
game to this city and have the morning
game played there that, the commlttteel
change the hour of the parade from
the morning. to afternoon so as not to
lnterefere with the base ball game.
The request was greeted with derisive
laughter.
THE SECRETARY'S REQUEST.
Secretary Dunning made a request
that all societies Intending to partici
pate communicate with him as soon as
possible. A committee of the Polish so
cieties of the South Side was present to
secure a place In the parade and prom
ised to have a big turn out.
Adjournment was made until nxt
Tuesday night.
PUPILS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Average Enrollment for Last Yenr
M as i:i,4DU.
During the ten months' school term
which closed one week ago yesterday,
the average monthly attendance was
13,499 pupils, according to the figures
which Secretary Fellows, of the school
board, has been working upon since the
close of the term. . The percentage of
attendance was 87, which is a slight In
crease over the preceding year. There
were 3,960 pupils promoted at the close
of the term.
Next year It Is expected the attend
ance will be Increased to a large extent
by reason of the compulsory educivttoft
law going Into effect. The county com
missioners have supplied Secretary Fel
lows with books giving the names and
addresses of the school children of the
district from which' he win make. lists
of the children belonging to each school,
which will be given to the teachers.
If then the children do not attend they
will be sought out by the officers of the
law.
WAYWARD MARY BROWN.

George Graham, tho colored waiter at
Hotel Jermyn, was arraigned before
Alderman Millar for leading astray 16-year-old
Mary Brown, a ward of Dray
man George W. Brown, the girl was not
on hand to testify nnd the only evidence
against him was that the Brown girl's
young companion, a daughter of her
guardian, who prefers a like charge
against another Hotel Jermyn waiter,
John Pascoe, who escaped. It devel
oped that Mary had been induced to
decamp by Graham and a search for
her resulted In locating her in Bing
hamton. Special Officer John Tlerney

of Detective Stevenson, of the Parlor
city force, raft her down. She was
