CARBOiN STREET WAS BLOCKED Street Cnrs nnd Vehicles Hold Up Whilo l'cdustrinus Climb Over Jlullrond Trncks to Itcncli tho Cen tral City MnmiiBO Wn In All Sec tions of tho City It Hooded Cel lars mid Stopped Tralllc. Tho henvlest rainstorm of the year did untold damage last night between 8.30 and 10.15 o'clock. Streets wore made Impassable, cellars Hooded and trolley trallic completely tied up. The downpour was severely felt by the thousands who attended tho Huffalo Hill fOiow nnd had to get homo ns best they could, most of them afoot. Tho rain fell In lnickctsful and was accom panied by brilliant Hashes of lightning. No little excitement attended the ef forts of the show crowd to reach the central city through a sea of wutcr on Carbon street, beneath the Delaware nnd Hudson railroad bridge, near the Vino llronk breaker. A river of water poured down Perm nnd Capouse ave nues, cairying with It refuse which ef fectually blocked the Carbon street sewer basins In tho depression under the bildgc. "When tho rain stopped theie was n lake ranging from two to live feet deep covering llfty yards of tho road and prohibiting trafllc for a long time. Eleven street ears, which were wait ing on the Providence side of the watery barrier, were held at the edge ot the Hood until 11 o'clock, at which time employes ot the Traction com pany waded In and clenred away tho debris which had accumulated over the sewer openings. MASSKP IN CONFUSION. The Carbon street road Is tho only route to the central city and the con fusion resulting when the 12,000 people reached the place can be Imagined. Tho show, remarkable it Is to state, was given without a single omission during tho blinding downpour. Tho attendance was creator even than In the afternoon and at 8 o'clock the sky from the tiers of ceats looked like a canvass dome, so clear and blue It was. The performance had scarcely commenced when the rain began.. Tho performance was given In a rain so thick that tho spectators could not see the centre of the arena. Tho canvas over the seats protected tho 12,000 very nicely but great bulbs at numerous points threatened to bear down tho tents. Men with long poles went a'bout pushing at these bulbs and forcing out the water. When the show was over it was wet, raining nnd the car tracks for within two hundred vards of tho arena were impassible. A ruh was made for the sticet cars and ten minutes afterward every car was ctowded to the extreme. The several other thousand had to hoot It through the storm. Some found ref uge In tho street car barn farther down the street and others took possession of tho three or four bouses on Piovidence road. After Mr. J. P. cried quits at 10.15 o'clock the beselged people wend ed homeward. It was noticed that some very well known residents of Jef ferson avenue, lode homo on a wagon controlled by the E. Robinson Brewery firm. There was a dense Jam of cars, cabs and pedestrians at the edge of tho Carbon street Hood. All except those who braved the elements nnd walked around tho pond, lemalned there until after 11 o'clock. IMMENSE DAMAGE. Tho rain did Immense damage at all points about the city. Three feet of water Hooded tho base ment of tho postofllco building; water covered the sidewalk at the Mears building, nnd wheiever thero was a depression tho houses suffered. Spruce and Linden streets were seas of water, and tho Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks near the Electric works were covered with debris. Water ran Into the Lender store on Wyoming avenue and damaged tho stock to a great extent. On tho West SIdo tho water Hooded tho houses nt the corner of Hnmpton and Main: Kelly's Patch welcomed a fresh lnllux of dirt, and tho residents of Fllmore avenue at Jnckson Ptreet were busy digging ditches. Tho street car tracks on upper Ninth street wero washed out, and tho up-bound cars had to go over the old route via Kobln son street. Cellars wero flooded nil over tho city, and it was Impossible last night to as certain the extent of damage. Tho weather reports received last night for this morning say "fair weather."

Wns President of tho School Board nnd llltiorniiiii Treasurer. Tho tallest man In Plttston disap peared with his 0 feet and 4 Inches of humanity on Wednesday and late last night his whereabouts had not been ascertained. Ho is Thomas J. Miles, who was treasurer of Division 13, An cient Order of Hibernians, Board of Amcilcn, up to last Sunday night when Patrick Toole was elected in his stead. MII03 wtts president of tho Plttston school board. Early In tho week It had been nrrnnged that a committee ot tho Hibernian organization should meet lilm and go over his accounts. When It was ascertained that he had left Plttston a search was started and it was found that ho had como to this city In company with a friend and had told tho latter that ho wns going to Seattle, Wash. It Is presumed that Miles In headed for tho Klondike diggings but his un usual height will mnko him a mark for nny further search that may bo made. LIGHTNING STRIKES. Hits n Dunmorc Barn and a Trolley Car and Causes a General Fire Alarm. During tho storm, at 0.15 o'clock, lightning struck the barn of J. E. Schuyler, on Hlakely street, Dunmore. An alarm from Box 31 brought out tho Independent and Neptuno companies. The Hames wero well under conttol when the wnter supply was exhausted and tho flames took a fresh start. A general alarm was sounded, to which all of the Dunmorc companies responded. The bnrn was burned to the ground. At one time during tho Are the house of Henry Kuntz and tho barn of the Keystone Brewing com pany wero threatened, but tho firemen succeeded In saving the structures. A horso owned by Mr. Schuyler was in tho barn nnd was struck and killed by the lightning. Another horso, tho property of Mr. Kuntz, was also af fected, but revived from the shock. Tho barn was fully covered by Insur ance. Tho same stroke ot lightning which caused tho damage noted above struck William Marvin, a motorman on car No. 6 on tho Laurel Hill Hue, as he, at his post of duty, was passing near the place. Marvin had his left hand on tho con troller and his right hand on tho lever when he sustained the shock. Ho was thrown several feet back into- the car nnd In falling he split tho small linger of his loft hand. Ho was unconscious for a time, but Anally recovered. He was brought to his home at 707 Adams nvenuc. He was not seriously hurt. CODED TELEGRAPHY. Methods by Which News Is Transmitted to Newspapers Without Waste of Words or Time. In the courso of an Interesting article In a recent Issue of the Philadelphia Ledger, II. R. Swivel, a telegrapher who some flfteen years ago worked under Superintendent O'Brien at the Scranton oHlcf of the Western Union, but who has since become ono of tho most expert news receivers in tho country in the employ of the Asso ciated Press, tells how tho Introduc tion of Improved methods has mado changes in the transmission of tele graphic news. "For years," explains Mr. Swlvol, "the dispatches wero sent on the whes just ns the copy read. All words wtro spelled out In full, and were copied by pen, pencil or stylus by tho receiving operator. But this method was inade quate to the demands of the paper3, and a more rapid system was Invent ed. By the old and antiquated way S.OOO words wero considered a b' day or night's work, while under the pres ent and modern system, called the Phillips code, from 10,000 to 15,000 words In a night or day can be handled with less mentnl strain. "Tho Phillips code is essentially a stenographic system. It can be used by reporters, and the same copy bo put on the wires to be sent by the opera tors. An Illustration will give tho reader an idea of the brevity of this code, and show the advantages over the old and long way ot transmitting news dispatches. The following Is about tho form used; "Washn, DC, May 14th. In t (the) Sa (Senate) tda (today) ws (was) lntd (Introduced) a bl (bill) apg (appropri ating) $30 tnd (fifty thousand dollars) fr (for) t (the) use f (of the) t (the) scotus (Supremo court of the United States). T (tho) bl (bill) ws (was) rat (read for a third time). "Some of the shorter abbreviations are: Ty (they) tr. (thero), tm (them), k (out of), 5 (that the), cks. (com mitted suicide) v (of which), and thou sands of otheis. "When it is taken into consideration that tho receiving operator must be as thoroughly familiar with the code as tho sending operator, the reader will readily seo that to spell out this coded matter on tho typewriter ho must bo possessed of more ability than tho or dlnary telegrapher of tho day." By means of these abbreviations it is possible for a, newspaper like The Tribune to receive over ono wire In eight hours sufficient news to fill two pages If all of It wero used. MRS. OAKFORD THE DONOR. ring for Union Veterans' Union in Memory of Colonel Oukford. Thero wns a good turnout of tho members of Colonel Oakford command pry of tho Union Veterans' union at their hall on Wyoming avenue at tho regular meeting Thursday evening. Although the night wns stormy there was a good' uttendnnco and tho hall was well filled. The special exercise of the evening was tho presentation to tho command of a beautiful silk ban ner, a gift from the family of the late Colonel R. A. Oakford, colonel of the Ono Hundred and Thirty-second regi ment, also tho gift of a flog from Com rade Hlnkley, a member ot the com mand. Tho banner Is a beautiful piece of workmanship, of blue silk with gold fringe trimmings. In tho centre Is an oil painting of Abraham Lincoln. Tho banner wnd manufactured In New York and the cost wns born by Mrs. Francis Oakford, ot Jefferson avenue. Mrs. Oakford wns unable to he present at tho meeting and had apked Comrade II. E. Palno to formally present the banner to the,command. After the routine work of tho evening was over tho doors wero opened and tho ladles In waiting In tho anto-rooms wero Invited In and after all were seated, Comrade Palno formally pre sented tho banner. Afterwards Com rades L. M. Bunnell i.nd O. B. Wright mndo appropriate remarks. Tho latter was standing near Colonel Oakford when ho was killed. Comrade Hlnkley ptesented to tho command a regulation (log and then tho oomrades united in singing tho "Star Spangled Banner," and aftor remarks by Comrade Mc Comb nnd others tho meeting came to a close with a vote of thanks to tho generous donors. Tho Tribune's Issue of Wednes. day will contain portions of Mr. Pnlne'a address which will Interest vet eran, especially tlioso who knew Col onel R. A. Oakford. LAST DAY OF THE SISTERS' INSTITUTE Successful Immaculate Heart Educa tional Convention Closes. AIRS. BURKE IS AOAINST FADISM Sho Disapproves Anything of tho Myth Idea, nnd Advocntes 1'lnln Tcnchlng Sho Olvos Vnlunblo Hints on Elementary Arithmetic. Miss Mnnnhan on "Drawlns" and "Story-Telling." At the morning session of the Sisters' InMltuto yesterday Mrs. Burke again called attention to tho prevailing fad for teachlnc the myth Idea and sug gested thnt a reading book containing Biblical Btorlea be used as supplement ary work. In continuing tho subject of reading for primary classes, Mrs. Burko advo cated reading aloud, using lists of words, writing nnsworfl, writing com mands, etn. Games In which new words can be utilized arc Interesting nnd Instructive nnd might, with ad vantage, supersedo the "busy woik" now so much In vogue in tho schoola. MIfs Manahan then continued tho subject of drawing. The first lessoim should bo movement exercises, straight lints should not bo glvu'i continually. A concise explanation of her views In con elation was also given. Mrs. Burko addressed tho Institute on the subject of teaching primary arith metic. Notation, numeration, addition, combinations, multiplication tables, signs, fractions, etc., were touched upon. Sho rather startled her hearers by the declaration that In a week's time the child can be taught all tho business man has to do with fractions. Teachers waste time and make them selves endless trouble going over and over this branch of arithmetic. When chlldron have been two years in school they should bo able without hesitation to write any number given them. ELEMENTARY FIGURING. Addition combinations should be giv en In the second or third year of the child's life in school. lien use addi tion more than any other branch of arithmetic, and there is usually no branch that Is so poorly taught. Omit ting tho addition of ones there are but thlty-sl:c combinations in addi tion, and one of these can easily be taught each week after the child Is enco properly started. There Is no royal way to lenrn the multiplication table but to learn It, sho tald, and when pome try to use an easy way tho table Is not learntd as a rule. At the afternoon session Miss Mana han saw the most interesting address yet offered ljy her on "How to tell a story." Her thoughts wero original and instructive. She lllustiatcd her Idea of bringing a lesson with the story by alluding to "Cinderella" which is known In some form by all nations, and which, Hko many others of Its kind, contains the thought of tho reward of virtue and punishment of vice. Miss Caroline V. Dorsey wa-s then In troduced and gave a recitation. Mrs. Burke continued her talk on arithmetic. She recommended the teaching ot fractions first and showed thnt this method could bo pursued through the various forms in such way that the child would learn nil necessary regarding this troublesome branch of arithmetic very early in his school life. Mrs. Burke In nil her work seems to be the healthy, nctlvo exponent of utiliz ing time and discarding useless fads. Tho Institute closed with this session. Much r.itlsfnction was expressed by those who had been in attendance re garding tho value of the course given. FATHER GARVEY A1AY BE NAMED. Mentioned for Coadjutor-Bishop of Erioof This Diocese. It Is rumored, and on apparently good authority, that Rev. E. A. Garvey, of Wllllamsport, will be made coad jutor bishop of Erie. nt. Rev. Tobias Mullen, bishop of Erie, has asked for a coadjutor, and according to the rul;s of the church, the names of the can didates have been forwardei to Kone. At a meeting ot the bishops held recently in Philadelphia, tho sentiment was unanimously in favor of Father Garvey. He Is well known to the priests of Erie, and his appointment would naturally give much satisfaction to tho priests of the Scranton diocese. WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE.

I Despite the threatening weather of last evening McDonough's hall was taxed to its utmost capacity by an au dience that had assembled to witness the third act of the "Comedy of Er rors." The first witness was Thomas Kelly whose evidence caused a sensa tion by acknowledgements made. Mr. Watson carefully examined Kelly. He produced an itemized account of hl3 work. Witness was cross-examined by Attorney John P. Kelly, who wns on hand to represent the school directors. Tho attorney asked Kelly damaging questions to which he first answered yes. Tho question was objected to by Mr. Donahoe, township counsel, who advised witness not to say that he had perjured himself. Ho took Mr. Dona hoe's counsel and said that his memory was not extra good. He waa dismissed. Tho second witness was Ben Fern who did work at tho Archbald school, such as plastering and painting. His bill was somewhere in the neighbor hood of $100. Watson wanted to know if the local director did not get a dlvy. Witness answered "No." Hl3 testi mony was straight. Next witness was Daniel O'Lenahan, who did work around No. 7 school. His evidence caused some merriment. At this juncture Jos3plv Moore, a consta ble from tho Twentieth ward, who serv ed In his oftlclal capacity for the audit ors, and acted as peace preserver, threatened to clear tho room if tho crowd would not keep silent. O'Lena han's evidence was interesting. M. P. Judge was on hand representing their firm. The investigation adjourned to meet Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
