With a coupling pin the Intruders battered open the Inner drawers and ransacked their contents. 'They secured $1.50 In change und also took alone the strong box which contained some valuable papers. The second grievance is directed against the police department. When Mr. Deyoe on the morning of the 17th discovered what had occurred during the night he telephoned lo Chief Hob ling. The chief promised to send a man over to take cliarge of the case. Mr. Deyoe says that up to this time no Investigation has been made.

JAMES BLAIR LAID AT REST Occurred Yesterday nt Ills Late Hume on Washington Avenue. SERVICES EXCEEDINGLY SIMPLE. Tlmt IVns in Accordance With His Wlshes.-ltov. Dr. .Initios Mel, end Olllciatcd and Was Assisted by Kov. Dr. S. C Logan and He. v. Dr. ('. II. ItobhiMin -- lluiliil in Diiniuoic CL'iuutury--N'tiiiilur l' Now Jorsey Itclntlvcs I'lchcnt. The funeral of James Hlalr occurred yesterduy afternoon tit his late resi dence, corner of Washington uvenuo and Mulberry street. His wish that there be no extended service or elab orate display was carried out and the service was exceedingly simple und Indicative of the plain and quiet life of him whose body rested In the midst of the assembly. Rev. Dr. James McLeod conducted the service and was assisted by Hev. Dr. S. C. Logan und Kov. Dr. C. 13. Hoblnson. llurlal was made In the family plot In the Dunmore cemetery. Tho pallbearers were Mr. Hlalr's two sons, a urundsnn nnd three sons-in-law. Included In the lnige gathering at the house were many telutlves from Kolvldeio nnd l'.lalrstown, N .,1. The cloth-covered casket containing the remains tested 111 the parlor und was partially uncovered. Hefoie the body was borne fi inn the house It was viewed by nearly all those present. A large quantity of out roses and other lloweis und several memorial pieces rested upon the casket or were dis tributed about It. The family were In inu upper rooms miring me services. Dr. McLeod rend a number of quo tations from the scriptures and offer ed a brief prayer. Dll. LOGAN'S ADDRESS. Dr. Logan lit his address likened snmo of Mr. Hlalr's characteristics to the hidden tracings of the artl3t's brush on a masterful painting. His life had been unostentatious but sturdy, ster ling and christian. Dr. Logan empha sized the fact that since the deceased's birth In ISO" and his boyhood his ad vancement had been, comparatively, on a par and along the lines of that of his country. He had begun life mod estly and with few"enrly advantages but had the tenacity of purpose, broad ness und mind to rise. He hud with boyish enthusiasm carried a torch In the Monroe campaign and lived to see McKinley a president. For thirty years, Dr. Logan remark ed, Mr. Hlair had been his friend and the friend of others and he had-never been known to lllnch when occasions arose for him to show his friendship. His friends had never heard him speak an unkind word of any man or woman. , He was one of the men sent by God to establish Scranton on a basis of In tegrity and honesty. He bad been un swerving and good and must have been gieat In Gods sight; certainly no body could say that he had not re turned n faithful stewardship. VVHRN MAN SEKS XOT. Mr. Hlalr did not display the glos.? and glow of the outside covering of a picture. It would be found wium Cod made up his record that .Mr. Hlalr's workmanship had been iK"iformd whore man sees not. It was time man kind appreciated that kind of steward ship, reckoned not accord nf to the world's standard, but us God directs. Dr. Logan concluded with a Vivlfil of his conveisatlon with Mr. F.lalr a foe; days befoie his dentil, when the laCor expressed his readiness in die and sald:"The Lord Jesus has gone to 'piepare a place' for me; com: and see me tomorrow if I nm hero." Tlie hymn "Jesus Lover ot My Soul" wns sung In quartette by Mrs. W. J. Hand, Miss Richmond, W. ,1. Hand and Isaac Post. Dr. MeLeod's remarks wore very brief, and Included this tribute: "I spetik with the Uliderstandliii; that Mr. Hlalr desired no eulogy. It Is wor thy to remark that a man who desires u eulogy does not need It, nnd he who needs It desires It. He left a legacy better than guld and silver or houses and lands a sterling Christian char acter." The hymn, "Rock of Ages," wns an nounced by Dr. Robinson and after It had been sung by the quartette, he tuonounced a blessing, THE I'ALL-HEARERS. The pall-bearers were A. H, Rlnlr and C. E. Hlalr, sons of the deconsed; James Hlalr, Jr., u grandson, uml J. A. Linen, Colonel II, A. Coursen and II. C. Slmfer, solis-ln-law. At the grave the service was only tho'slmple burial ritual of the Presbyterian church. Tho'so at tho funeral from out of town were D. Clinton Hlnlr und son, C. Ledyard Hlalr, Mr. und Mrs. Hlnlr Kfl sey, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Armstrong, Mr. Tltman and William Johnson, of Hel vldere; Dr. and Mrs. Vail, Horace Vail, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Sutphln, Mr. nnd Mrs. John D. Vail and Mrs. Johnson, of Ulalrstown: Mr. Parsons, of Now York city. SAID HE PAID THEM MONEY. Which, Acconliiig to tho Chnrge Against .XrOlagnottu, is False. Anthony Mngnotto has got himself Into a nice box owing to the untubil Ity of his virtue. He was held In $:JuO ball by Aldeiman Howe to enswer at court a charge of perjury. The case grew out of a previous case in which Mugnotto was arraigned for obtaining money under false pretenses. Raphael Caprlanno, who Is prosecuting the per juiy cose, was the accuser In tills case. The charge was that Mii'Tiiottn trot $.'.' from Caprlanno for which pi Ice he was to secure the release of Joseph Dumbroskl, P. Getz, and one Caprlan no, who had charges pending against them In Alderman Millar's court. The allegation made against Caiuiunno in this llrst ense could not be sustained by evidence and he was discharged. The perjury case Is based on the In formation furnished by Caprlanno that Magnotto swore he paid $10 to Alder man Millar und $3 to Attorney T. P. Duffy, which, It was charged, he did not do. The case will come up before the grand Jury. BODY OF ONE CHILD FOUND. Tho SuMiicbannii (Jives Up the Kid ot ol'tbo hi in I; Children.

RAFTING ON THE LACKAWANNA RIVER Exciting Experience of Two YotinR Men Who Uravcd the Angry Waters. THEY MET MANY OBSTACLES The limirmouiitiiblo One, Wns the I'icr oltlii: llig Stnun I(rlilgc--ltiil( Dashed Into It and the " out lit ill Mariners' Voyngu Cninoto u Sudden T:riiiinullnn--i:scuiicd willi Noth ing Wort) Serious That u (iooil Wetting. Carroll and Evans, two daring youths, who live In the northern part of the city, constructed a llltnsy raft made ot logo and lioardH and actually rod,; for 'over a mile on the Lackawanna liver yesterday afternoon. The trip came to u sudden end nt 2.R0 o'clock when the shuky ship smashed Into the central pier of the Delaware, Luckuwannn nnd Western stone bridge In this city und It still sticks there. The river was something more than a creek yesterday. Spring thuws and ruin hud ptllfed it up and the water seemed to Insure a speedy cruise. Carroll, age 23, suggested that a raft be built and his younger friend Evans, age 10, with a dime novel enthusiasm, fell In with the Ideu. This was yes- ti.iday morning-. At about noon the raft was ship shape and with lonu miles In their hands the two mariners got nboanl somewhere on the Diamond Hats. Ev erything went smoothly. Rounding curves, crashing into brush heaps, pok ing In at the shore here uml there and nil the time tickled to death the two youths sped along. It was an uncommon sight. People on the river bunk yelled to the boys on the rnft but they had cares of their own In tlie shape ut those brush heaps and they seldom an swered. THEY LOST CONTROL. In coming around by the lllumlnnt Ing Heat and Power house down In the guleh and north of the Lackawan na avenue bridge the .river current Is very swift nnd the raft became un manageable. Try as they might the two bids could not steer It. Then came the end. The raft was making straight for the stone pier of the big bridge and the boys prodded and prodded In the water but the depth of the stream at this point was too much for the steering sticks and away they go Into the pier. The raft was smashed on the side nearest the pier .and the timber so wedged against the stone that the boys couldn't bttdire It. There they were In mid stream and at a loss how to get to shore. They sat on the raft for fifteen or twenty minutes thinking it all over and finally Carroll decided to wade or swim ashore. He stripped off his outer clothing and Jumped Into the stream leaving Evans on the raft. The water was cold and the current strong but Carroll reached the west bank. I!y this time a crowd, had collected on the Lackawanna avenue bildge niul a number of boys were on hand when Carroll i cached the bank. CROSSED OX A ROPE. The next question was how to get young Evans across the fifteen-foot stretch of water. He didn't seem to care much, he Just sat on the raft Vintl talked It over. A rope was brought to the scene and1 one end thrown over to the little fellow on the rnft and according to Instructions he tied his end of the rope to the raft and while Carroll held the other end from the shore Evans began to cioss over on the taut rope. Carroll did his best to keep the rope tight but Evans" weight was too much and when the rope slackened he sank Into the water. His whole body was under for a few seconds and Carroll handing the rope to the crowd of boys, jumped In and grasped his young companion. He lifted him and curried him safe to the shore. Evans was soaked clean through and he wns gasping for breath. Car roll's clothes which Evans cat lied fiom the raft und through the stream were as wet as rain. However, he pulled them on and the two stranded maiin eis left for home, on foot. The laft con still be seen wedgel into the pier. It Is built ;f heavy logs und boards and Is about SxO feet In size.
