"It's awful to have a friend who be
longs to a health-protective club, as
sociation, society, or whatever they
will it;" declared a pretty girl yester
day. "I have one in another town.
When we go out to walk her progress
is slmplv a series of swoops after all
sorts of objects that flutter or Ho along
the sidewalk. I'll bo tellng her about
something very Interesting and sud
denly she will hon off the curb and
make a dive after a discorded envelope.
Tlio next thing I know I am talking
to vacancy or find myself enthusiasti
cally describing the many fascinating
qualities of somebody at homo to a girl
1 never saw before who h'as happened
to walk past me while my friend has
hastily turned back to rescue a banana
peel. T declare, by the time we get
down town I feel as If I am part of a
garbage llrm." 'Oh, I really must do
so,' she exclaims apologetically. 'You
know I belong to the thing nnd wear
a badge, and It Is expected of me.'
"Of course she and the rest of the
women keep the streets clean," added
the pretty girl, "but what a lot of mic
robes they must collect."
"Carolyne," of New York, the fash
ionable modeste who makes govii3 for
many Seranton ladles, was, with her
pretty collection of beautiful apparel,
a much sought after personage at Ho
tel Jormyn yesterdny.
To reassure several anxious Inquirers
It is here stated with reasonable au
thority that the Christian Endeavor
girls will not act as "motor girls." It
is deemed best to malte this announce
ment lest the entire population of this
city decides to snand next Thursday
in some out of town resort. The pedes
trian, bicyclist, or horseman who
would trust his precious neck on the
streets with girls at the helm of the
trolley servlco would be ono who had
run for ofllce and wanted to die now.
As to the patronage, It Is extremely
probable that tlio lonesomest cars over
tcen in this city would be on Thursday.
November 11, 1897, if such a state of
manazement prevailed. '

GAS IGNITED IN
RICHMOND MINE
Took Two Hours ol Lively Fighting to
Extinguish II.
FIRR STARTED IN nUNMORB VEIN

tlio Dlscluirco of a Illitxt About
O'clock in tlio Afternoon.
The Igniting of a body of gas In
the mine of the Illchmond colliery,
owned and operated by the 151k Hill
Coal nnd Iron company, William
Illchmond, president, and located on
the side of the Lackawanna river in
North Seranton, at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon set fire to the coal and some
timbers in the Dunmore vein, No. 2,
and sent twenty-one mini' workmen
Hying for safety.
The colliery was shut down for the
day and an alarm from box 75, corner
of North Main avenue nnd Parker
street, brought out the Nlognni and
Liberty hoso companies. After four
hours lighting the ilnnu-s were mast
ered. The mine consists of three veins
11-foot, Clark and Dunmore the last
mentioned having two division". Divi
sion No 2 is 500 feet from the surface
and has only recently been opened.
Whore the fire took pluco yeslerdav
is at a point 900 feet from tlio foot, of
the shaft.Thcro Is a good deal of gas
In the vein and as a precaution a
water main Is laid olong the gang
way so the water will bo available In
ease of lire. These pipes are tupped
at regular Intervals and supplied with
connections for hose.
The precaution was well taken. At
2o'clock miners at work near the end
of the vein discharged n blast and
Ignited gas. A miner attempted to
turn on the water nt a valve nearest
the llames, hut the heat drove lilin
away. Seeing that It. was useless to
nttempt to fight the fire from the emer
gency pipes at that point most of the
men In the mine were ordered to the
surface nnd an alarm of fire was sent
In. Tlio fire companies mentioned re
sponded and six hundred feet of hose
was taken Into the shaft.
The firemen were not allowed to enter
the mine.
A gang of employes under General
Superintendent Morgan Davis, Fore
man John Indian and Fire Iioss Jo
seph Kckersly prosecuted the work.
After some hard lighting the workmen
reached the seat of the lire and by 4.30
had It extinguished.
The hoco was attached to a hydrant
at a distance from the fire and was
strung along through the clear gang
way and through a crosscut nearest
the fire. In this way, after two hours'
lighting, the flames were subdued.
Chief of the lire department P. J.
Ulckey was on the scene. The loss will
be about ?300.
DUNMORE VEIN SETTLES.
Pino Hrook Workings Tlirontcn I'..
nnd W. V. Knilroud Property.
A new settling of tho Pnnmore vein
oC the Pine Hrook mine Tuesday
cracked the earth's surface In Forest
court and threatens to injure the 20
foot high stone wall In the rear of the
F.rio and Wyoming station yard on
North Washington avenue. The great
mass of masonry Is bulged out and
distorted us a result of tho Insecure
foundation.
Yesterday seven gondola loads of
culm were dumped Into tho cave but
It Is feared this will not prove perman
ently effective.
The cave was discovered under ex
citing circumstances. The driver of
cue of the Packing company's wagons,
a man namel Van Gordeu.was walking
his horses through the court nt 5'30
o'clock Tuesday night nnd when di
rectly between the wall and tho rear
entrance In the building the two horses
seemed to sink Into p, bed of mire.
Driver Van Gordon drew his whip and
slashed twice ncros.-i the horses' bodies.
The animals struggled nnd another cut
from the whip sent them upon firm
ground.
At the same moment an ominous
cracking of the stones in the big wall
told of danger to Driver Van Gordon.
He again whipped the horses but the
front truck of the wnson sank into
the hole in the earth and could not
bo budged.
Tho driver quickly unhitched Ills
horses and wasn't long In getting to tho
barn. The wagon was allowed to stanri
where It stuck all nigh and was 10
leased yesterday morning by tho use
of levers and blocks.
Street Commissioner A. U. Dunning,
Jr.. was notified nnd yesterday morn
ing nut a force of men at work flll
Insr the cavity with culm. At 3 o'clocl
the cavity had been filled.
A Story ot Dunn.
Mr. Dana's death brings to tlio surl'aro
a number of anecdotes about his uulquo
personality. Ono afterncon one of New
York's merchant princes tailed upon Mr.
Dana at tho Sun olllco and angrily de
manded that tho financial reporter for
that paper bo dismissed at once. "Tako
a chair, my dear Mr. . You know
that I would gladly do anything in my
power to obllgo you," said Mr. Dana, In
Ids most cordial tone. "Tell mo nha.t
tho trouble Is."
"Your financial reporter asked me yes
terday about a certain transaction that I
was Interested in and I told him that there
was nothing In it. This morning ho print
ed tho ftory and mado mo out a liar."
"Wasn't tho story true?" mildly Insin
uated Mr. Dana.
"Well, er, yes, I suppose so: but I did
not want anything said about It."
"Ah. um," said Mr. Dana, meditative
ly. "That is bod, very bad. I wilt seo
what can bo done. It won't do to have a
man on a newspaper who Insists on tell
Ing tho truth, will It?" Then tho editor
directed a searching glanco full of inno
cent Inquiry upon tho faco of his caller.
Tho latter sow the point, lldgeted a little,
stammered something about reporters be
ing too Impertinent, and bado Mr. Danu
a hurried gooa day.
i n.
flow Ho Amended It.
From tho Ohlcujo post.
Contemporaneous Mteraturo Is soon to
bo enriched by a beautiful poem from ono
of Chicago's greatest masters of versltl
catlon. Wo aro told that this poem would
have appeared In a March magazlno had
It not been for a slight hitch In the pre
paration of copy. It appears that tho
poet had included theso stirring lines:
"Her Illy hand I wis
Uplifted for tho winds to kiss."
Tho supervising editor pointed out to
tho poet that tho word "wis" was used In
a wrong tenso and an Improper slgnillca
tlon. Thereupon the poet, with truo Chi
cago energy and .promptness, acknowl
edging his error, submittal this correc
tion: "Her illy hand I wot
Uplifted for tho winds to swat."
Tho editor has taken tho amendment
under consideration. Wi cannot com
mend too zealously the vigor of tlio cor
rooted lines and tto departure from tho
shallow school of poetic myttlclwn.-
HAS NOT DDEN IDENTIFIED.
Hotly ol .Man Who Died from Sulfocn

The second blaze discovered on Tues
day in the Von Storch mine and which
sprang from the embers which caused

nftho LiirgcRt Church Weddings in
Scrnutotixltcccptloii Held in tlio
liridal Couple's future HcbIiIciico
011 Pino Street.
One of the largeM church weddings
that ever took place In Hcranton was
that of last evening nt 151m Park
church when Miss Carolyn Wolfe, tho
attractive young soprano of that
church was married to Mr. 13 a. Word-
en, tho well 'known architect ot this
city.
It was a beautiful event in every
respect, the altar was elaborately deco
rated by Clark with palms chrysan
themums nnd ferns. The wedding party
presented a charming nppearanco and
the music was delightful.
The approach of tins party to the
church was heralded by a merry peal
from the church chimes, effectively
rung by Mr. Alfred Woole-. Mr. J.
Alfred Pennington plnyed the wedding
music with Ills accustomed artistic
taste.
The ushers were Prof. G. II. Fisher,
of Shelbum Falls, Mass., Dr. A. D.
Preston, of Holyokc, Mass., Messrs
Henry and Hugh Wolfe, of Syracuse,
N. Y.; AY. it. Pryor. Wilkes-Parre; W.
K. Davis, Esq., Messrs Ezra Scott and
A. L. Truax of Seranton. They pre
ceded the bridesmaids Mtss Lillian
Goldacker, of Syracuse, N. Y., and
Miss Ollvo Mcintosh, of New York.,
who were- followed by the maid of
honor. Miss True E. Powers, of Pos
ton, Mass., last came tho bride, with
Congressman William Connell. They
were m -t nt tin altar by the groom and
his best man Mr. Oscar H. Parker, of
Wllkes-IJarre.
VOCAL FKATITIIE.
The ceremony wns performed by
Itev. Dr. C. M. GHUn assisted by Rev.
Dr. AV. II. Pearce of Wllkes-Ilarro.
One of the pretty features wns the
subdued rendering of De Kovcn's
"O Promise Me" by Mr. AVolIer.
The bride wore a trained gown of
white moire with chiffon and pearl
trimmings and veil. She carried bridal
roses. The mold of honor was gowned
In white orgnndle over yellow talleta
and her flowers were yellow chrysan
themums. Miss Mcintosh wore white
organdie over white satin. Miss Gold
acher's gown was organdie over yel
low taffeta with yellow ribbons and
lace trimmings.
The little maids Miss Finn and Ml-.s
AA'elchel who were expected to act In
the role of llower girls owing to some
misunderstanding with regard to the
cnrrlages were late and therefore un
able to fulfill their pretty mission.
They were to have worn white organdie
frocks.
At tho conclusion of the ceremony
a reception was held at 1020 Pine street
the future home of Mr. and Mrs. AVor
den, which wns attended by a large
number of guests. The young people
left on the 1.10 train for an extended
Southern trip. Mrs. AYorden will con
tinue her position as soprano In Elm
Park church.
. HOME GROWN SU0AR.
From tho TImrs-Hc raid.
Tho most Interesting as well as the most
valuable of tho researches that will oc
cupy tho attention ot tho agricultural de
partment under tho administration of
Secretary AVIlton will b the experimenta
tion In sugar beet culture, the results of
which aro Just now being received at tho
department In AYashlngton. When tho
department receives tho s-.iinples of beets
raised by tho 10.OU0 farmers to whom seeds
wero sent last spring It will bo able to
mako a compilation of sugar-beet statls.
tics more completo and moro valuablo
than anything ot this kind ever attempt
ed In any cour.rty. This compilation ot
htutlstlcs will Include nn authentic map,
showing tho actual boundaries of a pos
sible "sugar belt" In tho United Statt-s,
together with an acurate chemical analy
sis ot tho beets talsed in every section
showing tho exact degrees of saccharine
richness that may bo secured In certain
kinds ot soil.
o
The samples already rccplvcd by the de
partment from farmers In twenty-tour
states not only dlscloso a much larger
area of successful beet culture than was
expected, but they reveal many surprises
ns to tho productivity of several states
which It was supposed were not adapted
to beet culture. For Instance, thevstate of
Colorado Is theoretically a region where
beet culture can be conducted with great
profit, but the samples received from that
state aro small and deficient In saccharine
matter, whllo New York mid Now Jersey
mako by far tho best showing. If Mr.
AVIlson can demonstrate by theso experi
ments that the United States has tho soil
to produco all tho sugar that our 70,000,
000 peoplo can consume he will have ren
dered a valuable service to tho economic
and Industrial interests of this country,
and may ultimo tely succeed In saving our
people millions of dollars annually.
