ELKS' ANNUAL OUTING.
Over Three Thousand Persons Went to
Lake Ariel Yesterday Many Ex
citing Athletic Contests.
It seemed as if the entire population
of Scranton was transferred to the
shores of Lake Ariel yesterday after
noon. Nearly every ixrgon that one
usually meets during business hours on
the principal vtreets of the city bobbed
up serenely at the hike yesterday. The
intense heat In the city was Instrumen
tal In seinllnir not a few of the three
thousand persons there to participate
in the festivities Incident to the Elks'
annual excursion.
It was cooler by several degrees at
the lake than It was in Scranton, but
nevertheless It was warm enough there
to make dancing almost intolerable and
only the more enthusiastic of the
younger excursionists Indulged In that
pastime. There wore enough of thorn,
however, to keep the pavilion crowded.
Cool drinks were In great demand. The
steamers and row bonis were in con
stant demand and carried hundreds to
the cool, breeze-swept Island at the end
of the lake, where cooling beverages
were dispensed.
There were many exciting athletic
contests, of which Roland Reed was the
referee. Captain A. H. Hush and John
M. Harris nctlug as Judges and A. Rose
and Georuo.K. Davis a supervisors of
Burnett. There was ft tug-of-war be
tween the single and married men,
which ltefereo Reed decided was a
draw.
William Craig. Charles Welchel and
A. E. Rogers, A I. Sehrlefer and John
Nallin were entered for the 50-yard
dash. Mr. Welchel was declared the
winner, ho being the last man to finish
the fifty yards. The fat mens bicycle
race brought Sol Goldsmith, George
E. Davis and A. E. Strong to the
scratch, Mr. Strong winning tha
event.
About 7 o'clock Billy Craig was
placed upon a stump and for ten min
utes harangued In a sidesplitting way
upon the money question. He quickly
gathered an audience of several hun
dred persons. There was the best of
order during the day and no accidents
or unpleasa.nt Incidents marred the
pleasure of the occasion.
The oflleers of the excursion were
Alex. T. Connell, chnirman; Alex.

secretary; C. II. Schadt, treasurer. The
conittees are:

GRADE CROSSING CASE CLOSED.
Judge Giinstrr Heard Arguments of
i'ounsf I on Both Sides.
Arguments were made yesterday be
fore Judge Ounster In the equity suit
of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad
company ugalnst the Lackawanna Vaf
ley Traction company and the Olyphant
Suburban Street Railway company. Ex
Judge Jessup represented the plaintiff
and Hon. Lemuel Amerman and Attor
ney I. II. Burns represented the de
fendants. . ,
Mr. Burns argued that the routes pro
posed by the railroad company are Im
practicable and Impossible, and more
over they would take the street car line
out of the right of way through private
property over which the defendants had
no right to construct their lines.
Judge Jessup argued that If the de
fendants are given ownership of the
land through which their line runs, there
Is nothing to prevent them from going
through it. As to the routes proposed
by the plaintiffs, Judge Jessup said
that one could be adopted that will
be agreeable If the defendants desire to
select a feasible one. Judge Gunstcr
did not announce when he will hand
down an opinion.
ITALIAN LABORER KILLED.
Buried by a Fall of Hock at Ed cert on
Mine.
By being burled under a fall of rock at
Edgerton mines at 3 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon, Ferdinand Dingo, an
Italian laborer for William demons, was
Instantly killed. The first report was
that the two men had lost their lives,
but this was proven to be false.
The work of recovering the dead body
of the Italian was one of considerable
danger, owing to continual after-falls.

HOTTEST DAY -OFTHE
SUMMER
Thermometer Registered 97 Octrees at
3 O'clock in the Afterauon. . .

It's hot b'gosh an' I'm glad Vs"6
See the sweltering humanlteo
But I don't cure a rap
I'm a Jolly old chap
I'm the thermometer See?
He was the only happy fellow yes
terdaythe thermometer, and the ther
mometer received encouragement from
only the sun. It was the hottest day
of the year. That will possibly be an
old story later, but it's a pew one now
Some said the weather was slxzling;.
others called It a scorcher; many called
It frightful hot, while the great major
ity of sweltering, dripping humanity
described the heat in adjectives that
were pardonable but would not look
well In print.
The fact that there were so few pros
trations Is accounted for by tho gradual
nnd several days approach of the high
temperature which culminated at 3
o'clock In the afternoon and which will
not be approached today not If the
weather predictions are fulllllcd. While
extreme registrations were recorded by
tlee mercury in unprotected positions or
where 11 was effected by local condi
tions, the average record for the day
Is probably correctly shown in the fol
lowing from the Tribune's thermome

The Elks' and the Christian Endea
vor excursions' to Lake Ariel and Far
view, respectively, attracted thousands
who were fortunate to get the benefit
of an atmosphere tempered by the pres
ence of water and other liquids and
by cool mountain breezes. In the city
It was different. The breeze here,
though it prevailed from noon was too
lazy and sluggish to be of much relief.
It was noticed that the avenues In
the business section of the' city con
tained a pronounced reduction, in the
usual number of vehicles nnd pedes
trims. Apparently only such business
and only such shopping as was abso
lutely necessary was transacted:
There was scarcely a large de
partment store but what shel
tered one or more women who were
temporarily overcome but none of the
cases were serious. The same was true
of the railroad yards and mills where
the heat was almost unbearable. In
these localities several prostrations
Were reported but none were severe
enough to warrant being sent to the
hospitals.
PASSED THE HUNDRED MARK.
Prom different sections of the city re
ports Were received of thermometers
registering from 99 to 102 degrees In the
shade. Many of these were reliable but
it may be inferred that in nearly all
the Instances the registration wus af
fected by the Presence of Iron, asphalt,
or the position of the thermometer
near the ground.
For today tho government prognosti
cation fur this locality Is, cloudiness,
local thunder storms nnd a lower
temperature. The prediction Is quali
fied by the word "probable," howeer.
In Dumnore a valuable horse hitched
to one of M. Roblson's beer wagons be
came exhausted from the heat and
dropped dead In front of Qulnnan &
Grenvy's meat market. A number of
persons were overcome In that section.
On Wednesday afternoon little 5-year-old
Mury Nolan was overcome
by the heat while playing In front of
the home of her mother, Mrs. William
Nolan, in Dumnore. Dr. Bernstein wan
called to attend her, but his effoits
were fruitless and Bhe died at 6 o'clock
yeuterday afternoon.
ENDEAVORERS' OUTING.
Hundreds of Them Went to Far view
Yestctdny.
Hundreds of Christian Endeavorers
and their friends from Scranton and
vicinity took part In the enjoyment
f "Endeavor Day" at Falrvicw. The
special train left here at 8:30 o'clock
and to It were attached ttle cars bear
ing the Wilkes-Barre and Pittston peo
ple. Stops were made at all stations
nnd the train was heavily laden when
Carbondale was reached. At Carbon
dale the Susquehanna county delega
tion Joined the others.
At Farvlew were Endeavorers from
five counties, Wyoming. Wayne, Sus
quehanna, Lackawanna and Luzerne.
The day was particularly devoted to
sociability, but there were meetings
In the morning and afternoon for those
who wished to attend. Rev. Dr. J. J.
Little of Hokendauqua, president of
the Lehigh Valley union, delivered an
address on American citizenship In the
morning. The opening prayer was by
Rev. W. H. Stubblebine of this city,
pastor of Calvary Reformed church.
At the afternoon meeting were heard
reports of the recent national conven
tion at Washington, and, announce
ments of the approaching Btate con
vention to be held In this city In Oc
tober. Not a little of the day's enjoyment
was duo to the splendid singing of the
United Scranton choir'whlch Is to sing

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
No One to Blame in the Case of
William Carpenter,
An adjourned hearing of the Jury em
paneled to inquire into the death of
William Carpenter, of ProBpect avenue,
Who was killed near the blast furnace
Monday, was held yesterday morning In
the office of Coroner Lnngstreet on Wy
oming avenue. ' The following verdict
was rendered: . f
We, the undersigned jurors, find that
William Carpenter came to his death by
being struck by a Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western switch engineat the
bast furnace of the' Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company. We furthermore
find that all necessary precautions for
the prevention of the accident had been
taken by the employe of the engine.
(Signed) G. A. Millar, Joseph P. Woel
ktrs, Conrad Pell, Joseph Schrelber and
John Schrelber.
HIS HEAD CUT OFF.
John Carroll Decapitated by a Coal
Traia oi the D., L. & W. Railroad.
John Carroll, of Keyser avenue. North
End, was killed on the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad near
the Cayuga shaft at 7 o'clock last even
ing by a coal train. His head was sev
ered from his body as If It were done
with an axe. and the left arm was cut
off above the ebow. The accident wai
within a stone'i throw from where he
lived. He was walking on the track and
was run down. When the engineer saw
the man struck he put on the air brakes,
but before the train was stopped the
engine and several cars had passed over
the body.
' The deceased was 23 years old, and
was employed as footman at the Cayuga
shaft. He lived with his widowed
mother. A few days ago she burled a
little child, and another son was in
jured three months ago and has since
been laid up unable to work. Coroner
Longstreet will empanel a jury and hold
an Inquest this morning.
OUT OF THE MINE.
Men and Boys in the Leggett's Creek
Ordered to the SurfaceMine
Is "Working."
The 250 or 30 miners nnd others em
ployed In the Leggett's Creek mine of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company were ordered to abandon
the mine and hurry to the surfnee
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. For
several days tho mine had been "work
ing" and a cave-In In the Clark vein
resulted In discontinuing work.
Inside Foreman David Jones and John
Loftus went into the mine to make un
examination and us a result of their
trip the mules were hoisted to the sur
face. At first the condition of the in
terior was not considered serious
enough to warrant bringing the animals
out.
Later In the day and last night In
quiries made uf the mine officials dal not
bring forth any definite information as
to when work would be resumed or what
the extent of the cave und "working"
is. In the vicinity of the' mine, how
ever, it Is the general verdict that the
cave Is extensive and that the "work
ing" and "squeezing" cover a largo
area.
The cave Is located about a mile and
a half from the shaft and lies beneath
the "Notch."
The Leggett's Creek mine is one of
the oldest and one of the best paying
mine properties In this region. Its coal
Is of superior quality. The breaker Is
situated at the foot of William street in
the Second ward.
IN FAVOR OF THE DOCTOR.
Damages Refused Against Dr. Peter
Winters, of Jcrmyu.
Attorney J. M. Walker, who was ref
eree in the trespass suits of George
Cunuuings and Blanche E. Cummlngs,
against Dr. Peter Winters, filed his re
port yesterday In the office of Prothono
tary Pryor and found in favor of the de
fendant. Winters was called In to attend Miss
Cummings, who Is a daughter of the
other plaintiff, and after prescribing
medicine for her and treating her. It
was alleged thut his service Injured In
stead of benefited her. They brought
suit against him for dumuges In the
sum of $10,000. Referee Walker finds
from the evidence that the plaintiff hud
no cause of action. Dr. Winters re
sides In Jermyn and was represented by
Attorney M. W. Lowry.
CADDEN RELEASED ON BAIL
His Father Became Ills Bondsman
for His Appearance at Court.
Michael Cadden was released from
the county Jail yesterday on bail. His
father qualified in the sum of $800 for
his appearance at court. Hon John P.

who was the committing magistrate In
the case.
Cadden and a young man named
Rush were caught about two weeks
ago burglarizing Howley Bros", hard
ware store on Penn avenue, Prior to
this he was regarded as a well behaved
young man.
LITTLE BUY BLUE.
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and staunch he stands;
And the litle toy soldier is red with rust.
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the tittle toy dog was new.
And the soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our litle Boy
Brae
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't you go till I come," he said,
"And don't you make any noise;"
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys;
And as he was dreaming, an angle song
Awakened our little Boy Blue;
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
"Aye. faithful to little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand.
The smile of a little face!
And they wonder, as waiting those long
years throuch,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of that little Boy Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them there.

AN
CARPET
The fire in our basement on July 27th, damaged some Soo yards of Straw Matting.
They were only slightly damaged by water, and one would scarcely notice the difference.
Others, and some of the Carpets stored there, were somewhat smoked and will be sold at
less than ONE-HALF their value.
Think of flattings at 5c and ioc Per Yard.
Think of Carpets at 20c Per Yard.
To give the public a chance to buy from our entire stock at reduced prices, we have
marked down the price on everything. Draperies as well as Carpets.

the prominent young men of St. John's
parish. At, Its head as president now
