BEFORE BREAKFAST.
One of tho members of the Thirteenth
regiment had not been, a soldier very
long and was perh'aps unfamiliar with
the requirements necessary In an emer
gency. The other morning when he
was aroused from peaceful slumbers at
3.30 o'clock and Informed that he was
to go to Hnzleton lnstanter he flatly
announced his intention to do nothing
of the sort. He had contemplated no
regimental service beyond the annual
picnic of encampment and the weekly
drill, and go to Hnzleton to settle a
strike he wouldn't. When his wife had
matters explained to her she sat up In
bed and howled and also announced
that he wouldn't or rather shouldn't
not It she could prevent It. The officer
detailed to notify him explained that It
wasn't a question of what ho would, or
she wouldn't, but a matter of must.
Then the wife howled some more and
the husband looked distressed and ad
vised her to "get up and go call the
girls" meaning the help In his employ
er's house nearby. "The girls" were
promptly summoned and added their
contribution in the way of lamentation
to tho general protest, awakening tho
entire neighborhood by the vocalization
as he went marching away.
Children certainly evolve some of the
funniest theories about a very serious
matter, namely; prayer. A Scranton
boy of a religious turn of mind had
the other night as a guest a small
cousin accustomed to having his own
way. About the time the children wero
supposed to be in bed a commotion was
noted from their chamber. Soon the
elder boy came down and after fidget
ing around a little remarked gravely
to the assembled family, "Well, I don't
know where Ned is. He wouldn't say
his prayers and I tried to make him,
and he's somewhere, I don't know
where; ho ran down here." A search
revealed Ned far back under the re
motest corner of a bed, crying1 as If
his heart would break. "I don't have
to say my prayers when I'm away from
home," ho sobbed, "do I mamma? God
doesn't live in Scranton."
Some Scranton people are complain
ing of a visitation of tleas, which like a
plague of Egypt have come up into
their houses. Many are tho inquiries
concerning a method of riddance. Tho
remedy discovered by students at Cor
nell university may bo recommended to
housewives possessing obliging hus
bands and other masculine relatives.
The Cornell boys excused the Janitor
to adorn tho hems of his trousers with
a frelze of sticky fly paper some Inches
in depth, and then he was told to walk
to and fro through the Infested apart
ments. The fleas Jumped for his legs
after the manner of ileas and found
themselves engaged post extrication.

ning at 7.30 o'clock Dr. Lansing deliv
ered a second stirring sermon to a
still larger congregation.
Dr. Lansing has preached here sev
eral times before. The fact that he
speaks extemporaneously adds notlc
ably to the force of his words.
Dr. Lansing Is at present at the
Jermyn. To a Tribune reporter he
sam mat me past ween lias been a
very wearying one. He was most as
sldlously engaged In preparing for his

on his system.

Looking for IIIin--IiiJured Man Not
Receiving .Surgical Attention.
In dismal "Little England," nt tho
foot of the cast mountain, on a small
bridge crossing tho Roaring Brook,
Glovannlo Celebertl, 18 years old, an
Italian, was stabbed and shot nt 9.15
o'clock last night. Ho will probably
die. Gulscppe Luango, the would-be
murderer, escaped after his awful work
and the police up to 2 o'clock this
morning hnd not located him.
Tho shooting was brought on through
n trivial quarrel. Celebertl and Fllppo
Mango, who was visiting him from
Plttston, nt 9 o'clock started from the
former's boarding house on Donegal
street and walked toward Petersburg.
Blango was on his way home to Pltts
ton. Going down Ash street, which
runs Into the mountain at this place,
the two men wero passing the house
of Domlnlco Rotondo. Blango suggest
ed that they go In and bid Rotondo
good-bye. Celebertl consented and both
men entered tho house. The building
Is a dingy little structure on Ash street.
In the house wero a number of board
ers, all of whom had spent the day In
beer drinking. Among the men was
Luango. Ho nnd Celebertl have been
rivals for the hand of a girl In the for
eign settlement of Little England and
Luango, It seems, was waiting for a
chance to vent his hate upon Cele
bertl. Tho opportunity came.
ORIGIN OF QUARREL.
As soon as Luango espied Celebertl
he demanded what right he had In the
house. Celebertl responded in kind.
In their quarrel the two men, with
Tony Loreas, and one other, got out
side of the house and Luango was fol
lowing Celebertl. When the western
edge of the bridge was reached Cele
bertl said, In Italian. "I have Just as
much rlcht In there as you."
When he heard the words Luango's
patience forsook him nnd he drew a
stiletto and viciously struck at Cele
bertl. Tho long blade pierced the man's
back.
The other two men sprang at Luango
and held his arm. Luango threw them
asld and with the words "If I can't
kill you with the knife. I shoot," he
drew a revolver from his pocket nnd
fled n shot at Celebertl's body. The two
men were within a foot of each other
and Luanco did not take the time to
straighten his arm but blazed away ns
the weapon got In range.
Celebertl fell to the bridge and quick
ly arose. Luango made a lunge nt him
nnd pushed the wounded man ovir the
side of the bridge and upon the dry bed
of the brook. He then walked away.
LUANGO ESCAPED.
Three men, Andrew Colter, William
Colter and E. J. Mllner, who were sev
eral hundred yards distant when the
phot was fired tried to capture Luani;o
but he threw them on! and walked
rapidly down Ash street toward Peters
burg. The other m?h, except Blanco,
who heard the shots from Rotondo's
houe, also wnlked away. Rlanco lift
ed Celebertl from the 'brook bed and
nsslsted him toward his boarding place.
In their Journey the men passed ovsr
the spot on Ash street where Rocco
Salvatore fell murdered several months
ago.
At a point on the road, one hundred
yards from tlw bridge Celebertl fell un
able to walk any further. Luango left
him and started for a doctor. Other
Italians carried Celebertl to his house
on a fence board.
Tho Dunmore police were notified and
Chief P. J. Hijaley and Patrolmen Bul
ger, Doli hln and Mace, were soon on
the scene. Luango could not be found.
Lieutenant John Davis, Detective
John Mclr and Patrolman Louis Goer-
lit, all In citizens' clothes, arrived at
10 30 o'clock. Celeberti's lay abed In his
boarding1 house, which was uncomfort
nbly crowded with men. He gave his
story as told here but with many
cries of pain and appeals for a doctor.
No physician could be communicated
with and up to midnight Celebertl had
not been cared for.
LOOKING FOR LUANGO.
At a house on Ash street, where
Luango boarded for the past nine
months, Patrolman Antonio Mace, of
Dunmore, acting as Interpreter for the
Scranton officers, brought out the fact
that Luango was ordinarily a peace
able man. He has been In the coun
try four years, and Is 29 years of age.
Ho worked for the Scranton Gas and
Water company. The police secured
Luango's hat, which he dropped dur
ing the scrimmage on the bridge. It is
a brown weather-stained, felt hat. No
hint was obtained as to Luango's prob
ably place of refuge. The police last
night sent out word to all tho local
precincts and to Plttston, Wllkes-Barre
and other cities to keep a lookout for
the man. Ho Is described as being of
medium height, weight, 150 pounds,
dark hair and eyes, mustache, dark
clothing, white shirt.
Celebertl's chances for recovery are
poor. Tho wound from the stllleto on
the right side of the neck Is an Inch
In width and as deep. The bullet en
tered the abdomen just above the right
groin. A hole the size of a man's
thumb was made. He suffered much
from loss of blood, and nt last reports
no physician had attended him.

CAPTURED A BUROLAR.
Former Scrnnton .linn Wnntcd bv the
Ilnrrisbtirg Police.
Floyd Grimier, alias F. H. Welles,
formerly of this city, was arrested here
Saturday by Detective John Molr on a
charge of burglary. Word came to po
lice headquarters from Harrisburg that
Grlnner had stolen two watches and
some money from his boarding house
In that city.
It was known that he formerly
worked here, nnd a description accom
panied the notice .of the robbery. In
less than an hour nfterward Detective
Molr found his man at Smith's hotel,
West Lackawanna avenue.
At the police station the two watches
were found on Grlnner's person He
hnd no money.
The Harrisburg authorities were In
formed of tho capture and will send
for the prisoner.
PEOPLE PREFER TO LAUGH.
Tlints Why Thcv Like tho Itcntz
Snntlcy Novelty Coinpniiy.
Everybody prefers to laugh rather
than to cry; consequently the attrac
tions that appear before the public of
Scranton at the Davis theater that are
built upon light, wholesome lines, and
sparkling with wit, humor and life, are
naturally better patronized.
In the engagement of the Rentz-Sant-ley
Noveltv and Burlesque company
for tho first three days of this week,
such a concoction Is promised. The
dual burlesques of "A World of Pleas
ure." and "Paradise In Hades" elec
trified by the "Carnival of Vaudeville
Novelties" certainly offer enough In
the way of amusement to please any
Play-goer.
FITZSIMMONS IS CHAIRMAN.
Nnnied by Democratic Cnndidntes ns
Their Lender in Coining right.
Another meeting of the Democratic
county candidates was held Saturday
afternoon at which the following of
ficers for the county committee were
decided upon: Chairman, Colonel P.
J. FItzslmmons; treasurer, Edmund J.
Robinson, city controller; secretaries,
Attorney M. F. 'Sando and Attorney D.
J. Reedy.
The county committee has not yet
been completed. Some little difficulty Is
being experienced In getting Just the
kind of men the candidates want to
represent the various election districts
of the county.
CADDEN'S LITTLE JOKE.
I'lnycd It with Results on nil Inoflcn
sivo Italian.
Patrick Cadden Is laughing himself
to death In a cell In the police station.
Cadden stopped an Italian In front of
the city hall at C o'clock Saturday night
and most bombastically placed him
under arrest.
Cadden had no such authority and
the Italian objected, making a loud
noise In dolnc so.
Patrolman Reese Jones heard the
.racket and approached the men. Cad
den said he was only playing a Joke on
the foreigner. He will be given a hear
ing this morning.

Held n Itosponslblo Position with
tho D., L. nnd W. Co.
Probably nc death for some time has
occurred In West Scranton which hnH
caused greater expressions of sorrow
nnd sympathy than that of J. Plummer
Acker, of 422 South Main avenue.
Though troubled for years by chronic
attacks of rheumatism, yet no com
plaint was heard. Death was duo to
acute rheumatic fever.
During tho past six months Mr. Ack
er has had attacks of' his old enemy
recurring more frequently and a month
or so ago he sought relief by a trip
to the White mountains nnd the Maine
const. While In the White mountains
another attack came nnd he Immediate
ly returned home nnd took to his bed.
Though unknown to him he was a
stricken man and after nearly two
wei'ks of sevcro illness, he at last suc
cumbed and early yesterday morning
at the first break of dawn, lib answered
the gentle summons.
In tho prime of manhood, surrounded
by a loved wife and his thras beautiful
children, with tho same noble fortitude
which has characterized tho man
throughout life he ixidc them adieu with'
words of encouragement and advlq.
Thlrfy-three years ago, when Hyde
Park was a borough, J. Plummer Acker
was born. He Is the third oldest son of
the late John M. Acker. He attended
the city schools nnd Cann's academy.
After his Graduation he held several
minor positions In the coal department
of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company until about ten years
ago, when he succeeded tho late James
Ruthven as cashier of the coal depart
ment. This position he held up to the
day of his sickness. No employe was
more respected or trusted and a gap Is
lelt which will he difficult to fill with
a man as thoroughly versed In the In
tricacies of this department.
He was a man of domestic tastes,
and belonged to no societies, but was
a faithful member of the Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church, being secretary-treasurer
of the board of trus
tees, a position he has held during the
last seven years. Ho Is survived by his
wlfo and three children, Ruth, Elsie
and Harriet.
Tho funeral services will oceur Wed
nesday afternoon at the Simpson
church nt 2 p. m. Interment will be
made In the family plot at Forest Hill
cemetery.

one of the gondolas, having a broken
axle. Jumped tho tracks and went down

Three more cars followed the run
