BEFORE BREAKFAST. (
Scranton Isn't adding to what may
lie termed an enviable; reputation, as
li'T fame proes abroad o'er the nation.
People afar oft are already convinced
that the whole town Is In continual
danger of tumbling down several hun
dred feet Into the mines, while the iu
mors of Sunday christenings, weddings,
funerals, etc., with the usual accom
paniments, becomes very gory Indeed
ns they travel. Now when the story of
a falllmr window Is heralded abroad,
with' the customary exaggerations,
readers at distant Dolnts will bo per
suaded that Scranton is exceedingly
shaky, when the fact is, It Is a very
safe city, Indeed, for a dwelling place.
There should "be some ordinance to re
strain men from leading horses, unfet
tered but by halters, behind a wagon.
Pedestrians yesterday near tho corner
of Washington avenue and Linden
stree were all looking for some perch
of safety. A woman made a desperate
attempt to make statuary of herself
and stood on the pedestal with George
Washington, where the horses, frisking
around the court house lawn, could not
conveniently climb. After tramping
over considerable turf and tearing
every one In the vicinity nearly to
death, the animals were caught and
again led uftor tho wagon until another
car came, when they agatn broke away,
and a repetition of the same scene en
sued with a slight change In the cast
of performers.
It Is rather a pity that th'e street com
missioner or tho councils did not think
It worth' while to do a little houso clean
ing In, honor of tho city's guests this
veek. Tho quantity of loose paper that
Is blowing about the streets Is a disgrace-
to any respectable town.
Tho Knights of Pythias seem to have
been selected for their height and good
looks.
One of the features at the Corse Pay
ton performance last night was a baby,
a very small, real, live baby that be
haved lUelf ln'the most approved man
ner. "Oh, mamma," said a little Kim Park
boy yesterday, "Do you s'poso that tho
Sunday school folks will put off tho
'scurslon again this time? You know
the last time they postponed it on ac
count of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and
now Friday's going to be that matinee,
and mamma do you s'poso they'll post
pone tho 'skurslon so's we can go to
that too?"

BOY FATALLY INJURED.
He Was Crossing Pcnn Avenue and
Was Accldently Knocked in Front
of a Trolley Car.
While attempting to avoid a collision
with a bicycle on Penn nvenuo yes
terday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, three-year-old
Albert Dennier was thrown
beneath a street car and his right
foot badly crushed. Tho toes were
severed from the foot. He died from
his Injuries nt the Lackawanna hospi
tal at 5.15 o'clock, never recovering con
sciousness. The llttlo fellow was playing with
some companions on the sidewalk in
front of C. S. Seamans' grocery toro
at 300 Penn avenue, and had rurf.out
into tho street. A Providence car, No,
ISO, manned by Motorman Enoch
Evan3 and Conductor William McAn
drow was coming up the street and at
the same moment two young men rode
along on their wheels. Albert tried
to get to the sidewalk nnd succeeded
in avoiding tho first wheel ridden by
S. R. Ward, of Park Place, but ran
directly against tho second wheel, rid
den by Harry Stevens, of Green Ridge.
Mr. Stevens was thrown from his
wheel and tho boy rolled back toward
the track with his legs directly beneath
the on-coming car. The fallen wheel
man made a futllo attempt to pull
tho boy away and Motorman Evans
brought tho car to a stop inside of
twenty feet, but tho little fellow's
right foot had been caught and
crushed, the toes being severed.
Neither car nor wheelmen were mov
ing very fast and the accident hap
pened so suddenly as to be unavoid
able. The injured boy was picked up
by B. Atlas, who keeps a feed store
opposite and was taken to the hospital.
He Is a son of M. Dennier,
storekeeper at 330 Penn avenue,
and residing at 327 Penn ave
nue. His other injuries consisted of
a small cut near tho right temple, and
soverul contused wounds about his
body.

USURY AND INTEMPERANCE.
Tlioy Woro Discussed by Mr.
Wll.
Hams and Hov. Dr. Bird. ,
About two dozen people, exclusive of
tho two speakers, met in tho Carter
building last night to hear the debate
on tho question, "Resolved, That the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
drinks Is a greater evil than taking
usury."
Tn tho negative side Mr. Williams, of
Dunmorc, spoke earnestly against loan
associations, which ho declared not
only bought th'e Judges, but often also
bought the preachers. He told his lis
teners that usury was the great curso
of the land and tho cause of nil tho
lnrd times. Editors and philanthrop
ists had given up in despair their con
scientious efforts to reform tho abuse
of Illegal money-getting. Ho was per
suaded that liquor drinking wna not
ruch a powerful evil as usury in that It
did not effect such a mighty combina
tion of forces which oppress the people.
Rev.Mr. Bird then took up tho afllrm
ntlve side of tho question. Ho asserted
that usury has some good features
while tho drink habit has not one. Tho
widow who Is left with a few th'ousand
dollars well Invested, finds the interest
of that sum, Is a great comfort and
stir ngth. She would not say that tho
drink habit acquired by her Bon reeling
across the threshold was In any way
a comfort. Scranton's wealth was ac
quired by payment of Interest. Tho
Interest rates are a mutual benefit every
time.
Although Mr. Williams mado a
strong plea for his side It was con
ceded that Mr. Bird was tho victor.
MISS RUDDY INJURED.
Large Piece of Class Fell From the Sixth
Story of a Building and Struck
Her on the Head.
A thirty-five foot square pane of plate
glass fell from Its frame in the front
of the sixth lloor of the Kennedy & Car
ter building, 121 Washington avenue,
yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock and
crashed down to the sidewalk seriously
injuring Miss Be3sie Judge, of Now
York, and Inflicting painful cuts on
Charles and Margaret Ruane, of Lu
zerne street, with whom Miss Judge is
visiting.
The three young people were walking
leisurely along the avenue viewing tho
decorations when the accident occurred.
When in front of the upper side of the
building which is being renovated for
occupancy by Hill & Connell, Mr. Judge
heard a crashing sound above him and
without losing any time in looking
above pushed his sister towards the
street and reached for Miss Judge to
drag her out of harm's way.
Before this could bo done, however,
broken glass showered down upon them
and Miss Judge fell on th'e edge of the
Fidewalk with blood spurting from a
terrible gash in her head. A large
fragment of the glaus hod struck edge
wise on top of her head Indicting a cut
four Inches long on the right hand side
and severing the temporal artery. A
corner of tho same piece caught in the
young man's coat ripping it out, pain
fully cutting his little finger. Another
piece struck Miss Ruane on th'e knee
causing a painful wound.
Two of Foote and Shears' clerks, who
were standing in front of the building
at tho time nndiwho witnessed the ac
cident hurried to Miss Judge's assist
ance and carried her into tho vacant
storo room. Drs. Hellner, Burnett and
McGrath attended her there and after
stepping the (low of blood and sewing
up the wound had her removed to tho
Lackawanna hospital. She was still
unconscious at a late hour last evening
but tho symptoms gave tho attending
physicians hope that she would pull
through all right. She Is 17 years of
age and a large, strongly built girl,
which is everything in her favor.
At 1 o'clock this morning the hospital
physicians reported that Miss Ruddy's
condition Is extremely critical. Tho
voune lady has not recvered conscious
ness since the accident and It is feared.
that tho worst may happen beroro
many hours. Tho long period of un
consciousness adds to the probability
that the brain Is injured.
The window from which tho glass felt
Mil a secondary frame which permitted
it to be swung open on a pivot. Plas
terers who were at work on that fioor
yesterday had opened tifr window lm
order to cool tho room and Ignorant of
the danger, one of them, later, threw
open a corresponding window in tho
rear of tho building. Tho 'draft thus
created caused the front window to
slam and break tho glass, thereby
loosening the pane fiom Its frame and
cauring it to drop to the street. Con
tact with telecranh wires and other
obstructions broke the glass Into small
er pieces as it was falling. Owe largo
piece, however, found itsway past tho
obstructions and it was this that
struck MIes Judge. It smashed into a
hundred fragments when it landed on
the sidewalk. Mis Judge was to have
returned home th'is morning. A fare
well party in her honor wa3 arranged
by her cousin, Miss Ruane, for last
right.

Doty, of Scranton, preached, .taking
for his text Isaiah 1-18: "Come now and
let us reason together said the Lord."
Among tho many valuable thoughts

stato it, and then abide tho conse
quences. The afternoon sermon was
preached by Rev. William Edgar; text,
2 Timothy 1:12, followed by Dr. Wil
liam G. Simpson. Tho theme of Rev.
J. R. Wagner's sermon In tho evening

sermon of great interest and power,
his text being John 6:G.
A severe storm of rain and hall
made It Impossible to hold the after

ment of a vast audience which had
assembled expecting to hear Dr. C. E.
Mogg, of Wilkes-Barre. An inspiring
praise service was held before the
storm broke upon the encampment, tho
