It does seem that some eleven Inrll.
Ivldual might devote a few hours to dls
povcring a less clumsy method of
switch lights than that employed on
street car lines, where the conductor
has to Jump down every few blocks
and tear madly away to the distance
of several yards In order to turn the
lights off or on. He doesn't really need
the exercise, and much time, not to
mention shoe leather and strength, Is
consumed.
A Madison avenue lady had recently
began negotiations with a cook who
had not yet put in permanent appear
ance at her new victim's residence.
One day this week she had occasion to
send her daughter, a small girl, to the
home of the lady In question. The lat
ter asked the child If her mother was
not as well as usual, when the latter
day youngster pursed up her lips and
remarked, with decision: "Ma said I
wasn't to tell everything I know."
There is still a vacancy In the domestic
economy of a Madison avenue estab
lishment. A well-known resident of this city,
who is incidentally somewhat absorbed
in politics, missed his eye-glasses yes
terday morning and after a vain search,
called up a messenger boy and sent
home for them. The boy returned after
a more or less reasonable length of
time, announcing that the missing
property could not be found, for the
sender's wife had looked everywhere.
The prominent citizen fell to making
sarcastic refrences about tho way wo
men look for things, dwelling particu
larly upon tho fact that ho told "her"
to fix that guard the day before, which
of course she failed to do. After spend
ing some time in lamentations and an
noyed discourse over his loss, lie was
asked by another man, who happened
to be In the room, If he couldn't man
age to get along for a whlleVlth those

A halt-score of anxious-browed girls

air In tho great npartment and It was
a long time before anybody ventured
to open a window. It wns much like
the occasions Inst year when about fif
teen teachers were gathered In a close,
stilling room where, whenever they
opened a window, It was promptly
closed .by the Janitor, because the High
school was fitted up with a costly sys
tem nf ventilation, which, although It
didn't work for a month or two, was
alleged to ventilate, and therefore had
to afford the ventilation, Imaginary or
otherwise. The only circulation allowed
was that necessary for the bonds.

self Until n Few Years Ago nnd Up
to About Two Years Since Ho
Could Itcnd His l'rnvor-llook.
Hns llccn in tho Country Over 00
Ycnrs.
Martin. Moran, of Providence, who
who easily Scranton's oldest citizen,
and possibly the oldest man in the
state, died yesterday morning at G
o'clock.
Just how old ho wns no one knows,
except possibly the keepers of the par
ish records In Westport, County Mayo,
Ireland, where Moran was christened
some time towards the wane of the last
century. That he was over 100 years
old Is certain but how much over It
enn only be conjectured.
Ills grandson, John F. Moran, a con
ductor for the Scrnnton Railway com
pany, snld Inst night that his grand
father wns 117 years of age, but other
members of the family doubted this,
ftaylng that no one could say with any
degree of accuracy how old he was.
Tho grandson bases his assertion on
a statement made to him by the old
man about two years ago, that he was
then about 115 years of age. The two
were having a chat and In a casual
way the grandson asked the old man to
try and flgurn out how old he wns.
"Well," the old follow replied, "I don't
know, to tell the truth, but I must be
according my 'best calculations, about
11 !i years now."
RECKONING HIS AGE.
From two fixed facts Moran's age
can be figured out to be all of 117
years. When he was married in Ire
land ho was 40 years of age, which he
remembered from tho fact that his
birth record was looked up at the time.
Ills three sons were all born in Ire
land, nnd there is a difference of about
ten years between the age of the old
est one, Hugh, and tho youngest, Thom
as. He came to this country and spent
a short time In Philadelphia, at which
port he landed.
He walked from Philadelphia to Car
bondale and remained there for some
time. Then he moved to Sport Hill,
Punmnre, and opened a saloon. He of
ten told that tho only hard "day's"
work he ever did In his life was a
half a day he worked in Leggett's gap,
when the Delawnre, Lackawanna and
Western read was being put through
to Great Bend. He quit because they
would not allow him to smoke on duty.
The Leggett's gap road was built Just
about fifty years ago. Adding forty,
tho ago at which he was married, to
ten, the number of years he must have
remained in Ireland after his marriage,
and fifty, the time that has elapsed
since he worked on the Leggett's gap
road, he would be an even hunedred,
but to, this must be added the years
that he spent in Philadelphia and Car
bondale, before he settled in Sport Hill,
which would easily make his age any
were from one hundred and ten to
one hundred and twenty years.
RETAINED HIS SENSES.
In addition to being the oldest man
in the region, Moran was possibly the
most remarkable old man that has
been ever called to public attention
hereabouts. Up to about two years ago
he had as good use of his senses as al
most any man of half his years, and
it is less than three years, so his sons
say, since he ceased shaving himself.
He could read his prayer-book, as ho
used to say to himself, "as well as the
priest," and he had but one eye at
that, the sight in the other having been
destroyed by a cataract which formed
when he was aboard ship coming to
this country.
Moran was a saloonkeeper nearly all
his life and was what might be called
a steady drinker. He was an Inveter
ate user of tobacco, his pipe and him
self being Inseparable companions from
his boyhood days until a week before
his death.
Two sons survive him, Hugh, who Is
between 55 and CO years, and Thomas,
who is nbout 48. Neither knows his
age positively. The third son, John,
who died four years ago nt the age of
40, left two children, John F. Moran, of
Providence, and Mrs. Hannah Kelly, of
431 Lackawanna avenue. The other
grandchildren are Hugh, Mary, Kate
and Martin Moran, children of Thomas
Moran. The centenarian's wife died
about five years ago. She, like many
extremely old persons, had no accur
ate knowledge of her age, but It Is sup
posed she was about S3 years old.
The funeral will take place Thursday
morning from his late residence, 503
Oak street. A requiem mass will be
celebrated at Holy Rosary ohurch and
Interment made in Hyde Park Catho
lic cemetery.
DOCTOR'S HORSE RAN AWAY.
It Trnvorscd Several Illocks in the
lliisiiiess District.
A runaway horse, owned by D-.
Bernstein, created no little excitement
yesterday morning while the owner
was making a professlor.nl call on Penn
avenuo the animal became frightened
and ran through Linden street to W yo
ming nvenue.
In rounding the Wyoming avenue
corner the horse headPd toward Lacka
wanna avenue, but collided with tho
curb in front of the St. Cloud hotel
ond was caught. Tho hind legs of the
horse were Injured.
WHERE THE BOOTY WENT.
The Hoys Who Hroke Into tho No. 2
School lluilding Hold tho .Stud".
In Alderman Millar's spacious court
room last evening nine little black
birds sat In a row: Edward O'Brien,
William Creedon, John Murray, James
Moriarlty, John Flynn, John Feeney,
Patrick Ryan, Palmer Uurke and John
Connery, all under 15 years, and some

They were present ns spectators in
tho case where flvo of their boy friends
had been arrested for breaking Into tho
No. 2 school building on Orchard street.
Frank Ryan and Mlko Burke, 13 and
12 respectively, were discharged, they
having turned state's evidence. Frank
Rynn'a. mother drew down upon her
head a fine of $2.50 for contempt of
court, becauso she was prompting her
son when Alderman Millar was ques
tioning him. Patrick Callahan also
was discharged.
John Kelley, 14 years old, denied hav
ing anything to do with the robbery.
The boy was nlono at tho hearing, his
father not taking enough Interest to at
tend. Tho boy was held under $300
ball to nppenr at court nnd tho case
was declared dismissed.
The nine little blackbirds nnd twenty
other spectators were going out when
Dennis Kelllher, with his mother, ar
rived. Dennis was tho only other de
fendants. Ho told a straightforward
story to Alderman Millar. Ho nnd
Kelley had effected an entrance to tho
school last Wednesday by lifting a
window. They cut oft fifteen feet of
lead pipe and took tho pendulums from
six clocks. They also carried away flvo
bells.
Tho lead they sold to Gunsmith L. W.
Tlsdel, of Wyoming avenue, for $1.30.
There wns thirty pounds. Tho bells
nnd pendulums were sold to a Junk
man, Benney by name, of Raymond
court, who paid the two boys twelvo
cents for the lot. A warrant will bo

CLARK VEIN ABANDONED.
Mine Inspector Orders Work to Cease
at the Von Storcb Slialt175
Out of Employment.
Inspector Pytherlck recently visited
the Clark vein of the Von Storch mines
and declared It In unsafe condition for
further operations.
Tho mine is operated by the Dela
ware and Hudson Canal company, and
this vein has given the company much
trouble recently on account of contin
ual "squeezing." The inspector deemed
it very dangerous, and to avoid a prob
able repetition of the Twin shaft dis
aster, notified the company to 'that ef
fect. The employes, 175 men and boys, were
yesterday Instructed to remove all their
tools, ns they will abandon tho work
ings In this vein. There is some likeli
hood of the coal being worked from the
Leggctts Creek shaft, and It Is possible
that nearly all of the men, who loso
their places In the Von Storch shaft.
will be employed at the Leggetts Creek
and other mines.
NEW SHOE CONCERN.
Sol. Kline, Well Known Here, Is nt
Its I lend.

nnd goodwill of the Famous shoe store,

sale, commencing Thursday morning,
and In order that the entire stock may
be sold out, to make room for the new
goods, which the company havo al

of this sale can be gained by a perusal
of the display advertisement of the
Kline Shoe company in this issue.

ONE WAS KILLED
AND TWO ESCAPED
Two Serious Accidents Yesterday on the
Railroads.
DURYEA WOMAN INSTANTLY KILLED
ShoAvns Wnllilngon tho D., I,. & W.
Tracks Ncnr Tnylor--l'linctoii Con
taining Mrs. 1'. W. Gallagher nnd
JUiss Cnislo Jones, of Dickson Cltv,
Struck by n Conl Trnin nt tho .llnr
vln Crossing--Vclilclo Wns Demol
ished but Its Two Occupants Wore
Uninjured.
One woman, Mrs. John Nally, of Dur
yea, was 'killed on the railroad tracks
yesterday. Two others. Mrs. P. W. Galla
gher, and her sister, Miss Casslc Jones,
of Dickson City, the latter a saleswo
man nt the Globe Warehouse, narrow
ly escaped death in a second accident.
The accident to Mrs. Gallagher and
Miss Jones happened at 7.30 o'clock at
the Marvin' crossing of the Delaware
and Hudson company, on North Main
avenue. Their escape was marvellous.
The carriage In which they were driv
ing wns demolished by a train of cars,
and the two women were thrown out,
but both escaped serious Injury.
The Marvlne crossing has always
been considered a dangerous point. It
Is used to move cars from the main
Delaware and Hudson tracks to the
LeggcttB Creek colliery, west of Provi
dence. Approaching the crossing on
Main avenue the track dips, slightly
increasing the danger of the place. It
is necessary, at that point, to back
the cars In to the colliery switches.
THE COLLISION.
This was what was being done last
night. Engine No. 78 was pushing a
long train of empty cars and the first
car was within ten feet of the cross
ing when the phaeton In which the two
women were seated came In sight. The
horse they were driving was a spirited
little animal and when Mrs. Gallagher,
who held the reins, saw the light from
the brakeman's lantern, as he sat on
the first car, she cut the animal with
the whip,
Tho horse and front wheels of the
phaeton cleared the track, but the train
struck the rear wheels and pushed the
buggy a distance of twenty feet across
the road to a high bank, where the two
women were thrown out. The horse
was knocked down, but regained Its.
feet, broke away from the buggy and
sped awny toward Dickson City. The
train passed on.
Patrolman FInley Ross, who wit
nessed the accident from a point
further down the road, rushed to the
aid of the two women. They were un
hurt, save for a few scratches by con
tact with the ground.
An Idea of the narrow escape of Mrs.
Gallngher and Miss Jones may be
known from the fact that the rear axle
of the carriage was bent until it re
sembled a pair of scissors. Both of
the rear wheels were broken oft and
smashed.
MRS. .NALLY KILLED INSTANTLY.
Mrs. John Nally, of Duryea, was
struck and instantly killed near Tay
lor station yesterday afternoon by pas
senger train No. 10, duo In Scranton at
5.48 o'clock. The details of the fatality
arc very meagre, owing to the haste In
which the remains were removed to
Duryea, and the fact that but few peo
ple witnessed or knew of the accident.
Tho woman was In the stone cut a
few hundred yards below the Taylor
station when she met her death. The
place Is dangerous, owing to the short
nnd decisive curve there. The woman's
body was horribly mangled.
Engineer Roberts brought the train
to a stop and the remains were picked
up, placed In the baggage car and
brought to this city. It was learned on
the way that the woman's home was
In Duryea, and when the train reached
this city the body was taken from the
train and carried across tho station
platform nnd pluced on passenger train
No. 5, going south at 6 o'clock.
Coroner Longstreet Is out of tho city
but Deputy Coroner Pennypacker, when
the case was mentioned to him last
night by a Tribune reporter, stated that
no report of the death had been made
to him.
