HOME AT THliEB A. M.
The tale is told that when Messrs.
John Thomas, Arthur Stover and Uert
Harrington, accompanied by friends,
were returning home from Lake Wlnola
at 9.30 o'clock Sunday evening they un
fortunately lost their way. Drivers to
the lake are acquainted with the "cor
ners," at the top of a hill in the coun
try part, where there are two sign
boards, one of which says, "10 miles to
Newton," and the other, "8 miles to
Scranton." It was dark and the Bign
posts were smothered in the gloom.
When the people In the three-seated
wagon recovered their thinking powers
they found themselves In a little ham
let about two miles this side of New
ton. And it was then 12 o'clock. Cer
tainly tho ride seemed long, but the
young folks never knew the path of
dalliance trod until the little hamlet was
reached. Here they discovered that
they were lost, and they retraced their
way. Scranton was reached at 3.31)
o'clock Monday morning.

Mullen narrowly escaped a serious ac
cident while witnessing the towing in
of the fish net which happened at 10.30
a. m. In the net was a large shark, 4
feet long and 3 feet In width. Mr. Mul
len, not knowing the species of fish,
being somewhat surprised at It di
mensions, proceeded to examine it,
when the shark, not accustomed to be
ing handled, proceeded to vent Its dls
. pleasure on Mr. Mullen, and were It
not for the timely interference of the
shore guards Mr. Mullen would have
been seriously Injured.

SHOCKED THE MISCHIEVOUS BOYS.
Street Car Company Stops the Lads
from "Jumping" Trains.
Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 18. The Sioux
City Traction company of this place has
Invented a plan for keeping small boys
from "Jumping" Its cars, which up to
date has proved successful. Some time
ago the company began running an ad
vertising car, within which was an or
gan so connected with the running ma
chinery that It sounded whenever the
car was In motion. As no passengers
were carried only one man was em
ployed on board, and his efforts were
insufficient to keep the urchins of the
city from riding free whenever they
saw nt. The company feared an acci
dent, and to prevent one finally ran a
rail of gas pipe around the lower part
of the car charged with Just enough
electricity to give a tingling sensation
to the hands of the youngsters who
grasped It.
The scheme was a success, and the
car went its rounds In peace from that
time until a youth who had not learned
how the pipe was loaded ran out at the
Junction of the traction company's
track with the Central company's line
and seized the pipe near the front end
of the car. At the same Instant he
placed his bare foot on the charged rail
of the Central. The street sprinkler
had Just passed, so that everything was
damp, and about 300 volts of electricity
Instantly found their way through the
boy's body. He fell with his feet in
front of the wheels of the advertising
car, and but for the prompt action of
the motorman in reversing his car
would have been maimed for life. As
soon as he recovered from the shock
the lad sprang to his feet with a yell
like a Comanche and fled up the street
before his name could be ascertained.
In spite of the traction company's of
ficer's delight at tho success of the ex
periment the plan has been abandoned.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York, Aug. 18. The day was by
no means an important one at the
Stock Exchange and the transactions
aggregated a very small total. This
was not a little Surprising In view of
the sharp break in foreign exchange
which should have a tendency to ease
up the monetary situation. Posted
rates for Sterling were reduced a full
cent, to 48554 and 487. the lowest figure
for some time and actual business was
at moderate concessions from the quo
tations noted. This started some talk
about early Importations of gold, but
bankers do not share In this opinion.
Money lent up to five per cent, on call
but later eased off. Funds on time
continue scarce and commercial paper
Is difficult of sale. At the start quo
tations were fractionally lower In sym
pathy with London and the receipt of
selling orders from that centre but the
bulls soon took hold, using Sugar as a
lever to advance the remainder of the
list. Sugar sold as high as 1064. an
advance of about 11 points within a
week. Other leading stocks Improved
HS1V4 per cent. Subsequently there
was a general decline of ',i to 2 ',4 per
cent, under sales for both accounts,
Sugar, Louisville and Nashville leading
the downward movement. Just pre
vious to the close there was a rally of
4 to 1 from the lowest. Speculation
left oft steadier In tone. Net changes
show declines of U to l'i per cent.,
Sugar and Louisville and Nashville
scoring the greatest losses. Total sales
were only 156,765 shares.
