The Franklin company met last night

altercation between one of the members
of the company and a West Side busi
ness man. This was outside of the en
gine house. Forces are nt work to
smooth over the present difficulty. At
the meeting Inst night the company
threw aside all personal feeling and
united in subscribing $15 dollars from
the company's treasury towards the
Pittston mine disaster fund. V. P.
Hutchinson and Ueorge W. Chase were
appointed a committee to assist In
bringing the next firemen's convention
to Scran ton.

morning and the water flooded his
hotel. Then he threw several new
mown oaths, of English parentage, at
the street cleaners. He was in a ter

afterward he went to Undertaker Price's

hauls the lunch wagon to its daily

the employes of the barn had placed

It had a dust brush for hair, and a pair

Special to The Tribune.
Susquehanna, Aug. 11. During a
heavy electrical and rainstorm In the
vicinity of Deep Hollow, six miles from
here, on Saturday, a dark, spiral
shaped cloud was seen swiftly ap
proaching from the south. It seemed to
sway like a balloon, and In a few mo
ments It collapsed, and the air was
filled with living objects, wriggling,
twisting and whirling rapidly towards
the earth, which was soon covered
with a great mass of catfish, toads,
freigs and lizards. Cattle upon the hills
being pelted by the objects, bellowing
ran to cover, and teams on the highway
and in the fields, crazed at the strange
sight, ran away. Springs and small
rivulets were filled with the fish and
frogs. Some ef the frogs had a red
dish hue, and a number of. eye-less fish
were discovered. In a brief period
thousands of the fish and frogs had
disappeared Into a nearby pond, but
on Sunday there were places where the
toads and lizards were still visible in
great nuinbe-rs. The strange spectacle
attracted hundreds of spectators from
mlle-s about and several scientists enmo
on Monday to gather facts. Visitations
of this sort are very rare In Susque
hanna county.
IN THE MIXUP.
"We are threatened," yelled the Im
passioned orator, waving hhi hands
above his head, " with still harder
times unless we do the bidding of the
plutocrats who claim to bo our mas

gaunt scepter of the gaunt skeptcr
the gaunt stepker the gaunt spctker

the hired minion of the capitalistic
press that's sitting at that table down
In front of me taking notes and laugh
ing! I can lick him out of his 'tooth
pick shoe's, fellow-citizens, with one

The Impassioned orator paused, took
a drink of water, nnd resumed his
speech amid tumultuous applause.

RAILROAD ETCHINGS.'
The Eric's Sunday excursions from
Carbondale and Blnghamton are fairly
well patronized.
Six thousand persons attended the
annual picnic of the Erie conductors at
Shchola Glen on Thursday last.
A tramp boarded an Erie freight
train at this station on Thursday even
ing and shot at Brakeman Charles
Knnpp of Port Jervls, who escaped by
jumping into an empty coal car.
The Erie will take heroic measures
to rid Its trains of tramps.
The Erics excursion business up to
date is very satisfactory.
Judgments are still being obtained In
the courts against the Erie, for re
fusing to furnish family mileage books,
as the New York State law requires.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wnll Street Review
?few York, Aug. 11. The stock market
today showed an Improving tendency
the result of easier rates for money and
a further decline In the posted rates of
Sterling exchange ot V4 cent to 487 and
4SSVj. The rising tendency was checked
by the announcement of the closing of
the Murray Hill Bank, a small institu
tion working under a state charter up
town. In the afternoon session when
money on cull dropped to 3 per cent, on
heavy offerings by brokers represent
ing 'the leading banks and capitalists
the traders concluded that the bank
failure referred to would have but little
Influence and started In to cover. The
purchases from this source were suffi
cient to bring about an advance of
4 per cent, by the general market.
Speculation closed strong: in tone and
,lEi3 per cent, higher on the day.
Total sales were 240.834 shares Includ
ing 49.900 Sugar, 42,600 St. Paul and 18,100
Burlington.
