BEFORE BREAKFAST,
Perhaps I nm a crank on the subject
of fresh air, hut I cannot help noticing
of what little consequence ventilation
Is apparently regarded ly architects of
public buildings and by parties In con
trol of the buildings. This Is particu
larly noticeable In churches. "While
there arc many houses of worship In
the city of Scranton that are properly
ventilated, there are others that are
sadly wanting In thto Important fea
ture. Hundreds of dollars will bo
cheerfully spent In decorations and fur
nishings In a church, but suggestions
regarding the arrangements for health
and com'irt are treated with contempt
by those In charge. A rickety old fur
nace that will diffuse warmth In the
edifice during the departing hours of
the day Is all that Is regarded as nec
essary in that lino. Thl3 warmth Is
jer.lously guarded, too, by keeping the
church closed as tightly as a corked
bottle the most of the time. I hav.e in
mind a church In Scranton upon which
many dollars have recently been sp- .it
in the way of refitting, cleaning, etc.
Yet the building has no means of ven
tilation. The foul air often apparently
of weeks' accumulation Is enlivened oc
casionally by a breeze from the front
door as the congregation assembles,
but th'era seems to be no other method
of relief While artistic decorations
and finis ,ings are to be desired at all
times In the house of the Lord It seems
ns though good ventilation should also
be included among the first nrrantre
ment3 for the comfort of attendants.
The members of the McAU Mission
will meet this afternoon at the resi
dence of Mrs. T. II, Watkins, on Mon
roe avenue. As this Is the first au
tumnal meeting an Interesting session
is expected.
It is generally conceded that we gave
the firemen a good time. There are
some residents of the city willing to
affirm that wo overdid the matter. It
wasn't as bad in thatrespect as Wilkes
Barre, but there Is no telling what It
would have been if wo had entertained
a few more visitors. Ono of those who
had been given a "good time," accord
ing to his version, was discovered sit
ting out on the stones near Koempel's
drug store, Friday night, ruminating
on the delightB of tho day. Every few
minutes he startled tho paBsorsby with
a wild whoop, winding up with tho
anxious inquiry, "What's tho matter
with Scranton?" to which ho added tho
comforting assurance, "She's all right!"
Then he raised a similar query regard
ing Wilkes-Barre's condition. After a
few hiccoughs Btatlng succinctly, "She's
no good!" Then he laughed merrily
and appeared to be enjoying himself
immensely. Another man, whoso dis
appearance from his companions occa
sioned oome concern, was finally found

Tho annual donation dny of tho

the new building would bo occupied,
but it will be November before re

that nil the former friends of the

Charles A. Hartley, tho famed ven
triloquist, humorist, und valued mem
ber of the New York World's staff of
special correspondents, was In the city
yesterday on a brief visit.
Now are the days when a man takes
unto himself a new hat, promptly puts
It on his head, as soon as It Is bought,
and has hla old one wrapped In paper
nnd sent home. A woman docs the
same thing differently. She nlso buys
ti new hat, after admiring herself In
It before the milliner's mirrors, but she
never dreams of Immediately wearing
it home: not she. It Is sent in a big
box, after dark, probably, with much
surreptitious mystery, nnd worn for
tho first time at a swell function, or
perhaps at church. Why Is this dif
ference? PERSONAL.

his grandson Ira Mitchell, proprietor
of the dining rooms aforementioned.
Over fifty of his descendants and their
mariago relatives attended, but in all
the party there was not a livelier buy
than the nonogenerlan In whose honor
tho event wns given.
His father was Michael Mitchell Fon
of a Revolutionary martyr of the same
name. Ho came to Pennsylvania from
Connecticut with his wife In 1S7S,
travelling the wholo distance in nn
ox cart. They settled In Salem town
ship, Wayne county nnd here the sub
ject of this sketch was born In 1S02.
CARRIED THE MAIL.
His first employment outside of that
of farm chores was carrying the Unit
ed States mall, which he undertook
at tho age of sixteen years, having
for his route nn eighty four mile cir
cuit from Stockport, below Wind Gap,
through Wayne, Monroe and North
ampton counties to within twelve
miles of Easton. Ho travelled the
whole distance a foot for convenience
in making bhot-t cuts through tho
woods, carrying his mall pouch on one
shoulder and rlfla on the other. He
made the trip once a week.
When he was ten years of age his
parents moved to Wllkes-Barro where
he was apprenticed to the tailor trade,
his boss being Anthony Brower. He
remembers well when the soldiers of
tho war of 1812 were Un Wllkes-Barre
and tells Interestingly of how he was
lost one day following them as they
started northward out of tho town.
Plttston in those days ho said had one
house a berry house, and the houses
of the two Sloctim's were the only
building's In Slocum Hollow.
The AVayne county farmers In those
dnys carried their grist to Babylon a
short distance this side of Plttston,
where the only mill in this region was
situated. Ho tells of his father having

Used to Was."
been chased two miles by a bear while
coming over the mountain near Mooslc
lake, with a bag of wheat that he was
taking to the Babylon mill.
WENT TO HOLLISTERVILLE.
His parents went from AVllkes-Barre
to Ablngton where they lived for four
years and where Jerusha at the ago
of twenty-flvo wns married to Eunice
Hall daughter of Henry Hal' )Su
died twenty-five years ago. The fami
ly moved to HolllBtcrvllla where
Jerusha started a rake and handle
factory which ho operated for many
years.
Ho boasts of having worn out two
saw mills during his life. Ten years
ago ho made Scranton his home but

OBSTRUCTION ON TRACK.
An Attempt Made to Derail a Taylor Car
Saturday Night Accident For.
Innately Averted.
An attempt to derail a street car on
the Taylor line, heavily loaded with
passengers, Saturday night, was frus
trated by a mere circumstance. One
minute's time might have resulted In
a wreck, the gravity of which may
only be supposed. The place of the at
tempted wreck Is at the foot of a steep
and curving hill, near the Llghtner
farm-house, between Taylor and Belle
vue. At about 9 o'clock, AV". 11. Owen, of
Taylor, in passing the point in a car
riage, noticed a dark mass on the
track at the foot of the hill. At the
same moment a street car bound south
rounded the top of the hill and started
down the grade nt a fast rate of speed.
Not waiting to Investigate farther, Mr.
Owen urged his horse forward nnd
succeeded In warning the car motor
man. The car was stopped within ten
feet of the obstruction.
Conductor Careen went ahead nnd
found a thick limb of a tree laying
ncross one side of the track. The ob
stnjrtlon was removed and the car
proceeded onward.
The limb could not have possibly
found Its way to the track without
some person placing It there. The limb
wns big enough to have thrown the
swiftly-moving car from the rails, the
momentum at this point being enough
to do much damage.
The only plausible supposition for the
presence of the limb Is thnt some ma
licious person In a spirit of devlllsh
ness placed the obstruction on the
track.
PARENT NOT HEIR TO CHILD.
Cnso Which Hinged un Thnt Point
Uocidcd by Judge Archhnld.
According to Judge Archbald's in
terpretation of the statute of descent a
parent 'is not tho natural heir of his
or her children. The question came
up Saturday In the trial of an eject
ment suit brought by Henry Andrew's
against Frederick Eckert and wife to
secure possession of a fifty- three acre
farm in Aldington.
Mrs. Eckert was formerly Mrs. An
drews and a sister-in-law of the plain
tiff Henry Andrews. Her first hus
band died and left tho property now
In dispute to his two children. They
both died nnd the mother proceeded
to claim tho property. Tho brother
brought suit claiming he was next of
kin and tho natural heir nfto:- tho
chlldn-n. The whole case hinged on
tho interpretation of the statute
governing this question, so Judgj
Archbald took It from1 tho jury and
decided ns above stated. M. J. AVIIson
and ex-Judge Jessup appeared for the
Plaintiff and C. II. Soier for tlvj de
fendants'. v
In the wage suit of August Frnnz
against Conrad and Eliza Riehl, a ver
dict of 37.S7 for tho plaintiff was re
turned. A verdict In favor of ihe plaintiff
In tho sum of $210,92 was found in the
case of the Onondaga Dynamo com
pany against tho Hallstead Textile
company.

Result of tho Heating.
Cries of "Police! Help! Help!" nt
10.30 o'clock Inst night brought Patrol
man Lona Dav to the corner of Mif
flin avenue and Mulberry street, where
he found Mrs. James itenny stretched
out on the sidewalk with her face be
smeared with blood, which ilowed from
wounds on her face. Before he reached
the woman, Patrolman Day rounded
tho corner Just In time to collide with
James Ronny, the wife-beatcr.who was
attempting to escape.
Tho police officer's big arms closed
about Renny and he was marched
back to where the woman lay with the
marks of his brutality upon her.
Mrs. Renny was lifted from the side
walk and managed to walk to the cen
tral police station. She and the brute
were placed in separate cells.
The woman Is not over 2G years of
age, and had some claims to beauty.
She will be disfigured for life now.
AVhero Renny In his rage stamped her
face with the heel ot his boot Is a cut
for each stamp.
HER INJURIES.
Her upper lip is cleaved through
from the nose downward. Her front
teeth nro broken and a hole In her
tongue Is big enough to admit a man's
small finger. She could scarcely talk,
through the wreck made by Renny's
heel, and tho blood In the flow had
soaked through her clothing.
Renny's clothing, also, was .spotted
with his wife's blood. AVhen he entered
the police station Renny took a chair
In the office, saying: "Shove her In,
officer; shove her In." By this ruse he
himself thought to escape. He sat in
the chair for about four seconds, when
he was hustled off to the worst cell In
the place.
Patrolman' Dav said: "He did not
resist me. I only wish he had" shak
ing his club significantly.
Tho woman's screams created a great
deal of excitement in the neighborhood
of tho assault. She w-is unable to say
what caused her husband's vicious at
tack. AVater was given her nnd she
washed tho blood from her face.
WOUNDS DRESSED.
Dr. AV. G. Fulton, the police surgeon,
was called and sewed up the wound in
the woman's lip. It had not been de
cided at midnight whether cr not to
send her to the hospital.
Renny Is a cab driver employed by
the Cuslck estate. He Is a young man
and Is well known about town.
