Described (0 Scranton Engineers Last '
Night by One oi the Famous
Maxims Assistants.
Edmund Wilson Roberts, M. E of
Ithaca, N. Y' now associated with the
facultyof the InternatlonalConespond-
rmne 2nUnnu r.nvrt n ilnllcrht fill lpe-
tuie last evening before the Scranton 1
Engineers' club In the board of ttado
auditorium on tho interesting subject
of "Aeronnutlcs " Fljlng machines,
perhaps ono of the most fascinating
of modern engineering probabilities, 1s
the commoner word for Mr. Roberts'
subject. The fact that he formeily was
employed by II. S. Maxim, the great
English engineer, In the latter's famous
experiments with Hying machines,
placed an added value and Intel est In
Mr. Roberts' lecture.
Stetcoptlcon Ievs taken from orig
inal photographs were used in lllus
tiatlng tho lecturer's remarks. Mr.
Roberts told of the eaily history of at
tempts to overcome giavltation. He de
fined the position of tho balloon In
nerlal navigation, nnd Illustrated by tho
use of miniature ai tides the seveial
pilnclples of aeronautics Involved In
tho Inventions of Maxim in England,
Lilllenthal In Germany and Langley in
America.
Small paper wings weie thrown by
the lectuier in tho nlr, sustaining them
selves sufficiently to demonstrate the
Idea. A model of the tpe of screw
propellor, used In lifting the lljlng ma
chine, was also used last night.
Afteiward Mr. Roberts, by the use
of the btcteoptlcon, Illustrated the prin
ciples of Mr. Maxim's machine, on
which he had personally been employed
ns an assistant to the inventor. Ho
thought that In .some Ideas Professor
Langley, the Ameilcan, had a better
Invention than Mr. Maxim, who, by
tho way. Is tho Inventor also of tho
famous Maxim gun. The lectuie was
enjoyed by a large nudlence of the en
gineers and friends.
Mr. Robeits will repeat the lecture
at the Young Men's Christian associa
tion tomorrow night. Admission will
bo by ticket.

When the .Subject Was Awnhoned.
There was an exciting time towards
tho wee stria' hours, of yesterday morn
Ino; in a Wyoming avonuo billiard room.
It was certainly the hugest of tho sea
son. A good-sized crowd of the boys nbout
I town were lounging nbout tho parlors
I when In camp Special Olllccr Bryant,
who Is, or thinks ho Is, a professional
, hypnotist, despite tho rough experience
Vila livnnnflot Rlinw linrl ilntt'tl tlm stntff
nst BUrnmer. Among the loungers was
Johnnie Steele, tho well-known foot
ball player. Stollo had a headache, or
at least said he had. If there is one
tiling more than another that a semi
profeslonal hypnotist enn do It Is t
to
euro a headache,
steijo ;"tJt
Ul'Wl UllUil tliil. 11. IVOi) LIIUII IIU 1IIIIU .IV
was In Tianceland. Then Bryant be
gan to drive out the headache. He
went through the various customary
manipulations and mental operations
and after ho was satisfied that It was
all day with Mr. Headache, he clapped
his hands together, shook Stelle by the
shoulder and shouted: "You're all
right, wake up."
WOULDN'T WAKE UP.
But Stelle wasn't all right, and Stelle
didn't wake up. Bryant clapped his
hnnds.shook Steele's shoulder and ngaln
assured him that he was all right and
that he might wake up.
Stelle was dead to the world; noth
ing would louse him. Fifteen minutes
passed and all ordinary means proving
futile, Bryant proceeded to take desper
ate measures to resuscitate his subject.
A billiard cue was bioken across the
soIcm of Stello's shoes and pins were
Jabbed Into him as if he was a, pin
cushion, but nary a move.
Bryant was pretty well excited by
this time and so wns the ciovvd. A gal
vanic battery was sent for, but nn
hour passed without the messenger re
turning. White ns a sheet nnd with
his knees knocking together, tho hyp
notist at last gave up in despair and
said he w ould go for a doctor.
"No, ou don't," said the crowd.
"You stay here."
One of the ciovvd volunteered to go
for a doctor and In a few minutes te
turned with one that he found loung
ing about the Westminster lobby.
A TERRIBLE PVELATTON.
"Hum! This man can't recover.
He's been cast Into a controptlgolaptlc
transposition and no power on earth
can revive him," said the Westminster
lobby doctor, after feeling the ui chin's
pulse and listening to his heait beats.
"Some amateur hypnotl'1 has been
guilty of this, 1 suppose. Who wns it?"
"This man," &ald the crowd, pointing
to the quaking constable-mesmerist.
"Is there an ollicer hcie?" queried
the doctor
"I'm a detective," said ono of the
young men, stepping forward.
"Take this man In charge until I re
turn. I would not think of making a
move in this case without a second
physician being piesent."
Fifteen minutes later two Westmin
ster lobby doctors returned. They be
gan to work on the victim. Small
doses of whiskey were frequently
forced down his throat, but It was like
pouring it into a rat hole. Despite the
fact that no effect was apparent, the
two doctors persisted in their treat
ment. One tablespoonful after another
was dumped into Stelle's mouth, until
iiiuy inree-quaiters or a pint was
B"IBimK m "ls "nnras.
T"" nours and forty mlnmes after
eUe flist bank into the tianee the per-
t-ihieni doctors saw tneir laltlr in their
treatment rewarded.
STEELE REVIVED.
With a whoop that would do a Com
manche credit, Steele leaped from tho
pool table nnd commenced to stand
things on their heads. Twelve men
grappled with him, but could not hold
him.
Bryant, in great Joy, shouted direc
tions what to do. Steele tossed chairs
around, kicked over cuspidors and had
a genetal Jolly good time. After some
minutes he quieted down and gradually
lesumed his noimal condition. Biyant
wanted to go and they let him off after
he made a vow he would no er do any
more hypnotizing.
Steele said: "Gee, fellows, I can
stnnd pins and billiard cues, but I'm
nn tank. It wouldn't have' been bo bad
If you'd a thrown in a little wash once
in a while."
FLOODS OF 1838 AND 1889.
Some Proper! j (ivi tiers to Accept
Oilers (o Sottln Damages.
A meeting of the South' Washington
avenue propeity owners, whose prop
erties were damaged by tho floods of
December, 1S38, nnd February, 18S9, was
hld lost evening in Millar's hall, Cen
tral Park garden. Their attorney, A.
A. Chase, was present.
The ptoperty owners weie from
among those whoso nineteen suits
against the Wllkes-Barre and Scian
ton, (tho Central Railroad of New Jer
i.ey) company have been pending for
a long period. It Is alleged that the
damage from the flood was due to tho
grading for the railroad bed along the
river. Some tlmo ago tlueo viewers
weie selected to fix tho damages.
The railroad people, through theli at
toines, Wlllard, Warren & Knapp, nc
repted the damages returned by tho
viewers and offered to settle on that
basis. This proposition wab the cause
of last night's meeting.
No definite action was taken, al
though several propeity ownerH signi
fied their intention of accepting tho
company's offer.
COLLISIONS ON THE AVENUE.
Buggy Struck, Curt Pushed Along und
Driver Clarke Tumbled.
Lackawanna avenue is wide enough
and Constable Clarke's wagon has only
an ordinary axle length, but withal
thero was trouble In his wake yester
day. What happened before Jumes
W,, which Is his other name, reached
tho 200 block on tho avenue has not
developed.
But ut this point, says. Puttolman I.
F. Jones, there was a genet ul mix-up.
Patrolman Jones saw Clarke's wagon
collide with a buggy. Llttlo damage
was done here. Then a few feet further
oft the wagon bumped a hand-cait in
front of Williams' store and landed It
on the sidewalk, Mr. Clarke tho mean
whlto losing his hold on the neat and
dropping to the snow on tho rond.
Ho was not injured and continued
onward, after regaining his wagon.

GA.LLERY GODS FELL.
Tbcy Were of the Genius
Were Thrown Down
Academy Stairs.
Dude and
tho
"Dudes, jou know; they were dudes,"
explained Doortender Hamilton, of the
Academy of Music, where a crowd of
young students created n disturbance
in tho upper galleiy at yesterday's
matinee. "You see," continued Ham
ilton, "we can generally rest easy when
the 'heaven' has Its natural kind of
gods we like the fellow In shirt sleeve3
and a lump In his cheek but when a
well-dtessed, downy-lipped, cigarette
scented batch come up, look out for
trouble. Why? Well, because they're
out of place; they'll raise the well,
they'll raise old Hariy." Whereupon
Hamilton showed a swollen thumb and
a sciatch over his off eye.
"I had a hot time with them," lies
said, "but I llnalb got them out, ono
after the other." And a hot time It
was, so say all that saw It. The play
was "Men and Women," a comedy
dramn, as the plaj -bills called It. What
theio was in It which the batch of well
dressed young men didn't like was prob
ably decided upon before they took their
seats In the front row of the galleiy.
The curtain had scaicely settled In
the files when the long-drawn "Ho"
ho!" woke up the good people in the
audience from their Mveet dream of
enjoyment. When a minute afterward
someone hallowed "G'way," the funny
comedian was seen to dodge.
Tho thing continued and whenever
the lovers kissed, or the soubrette sang,
or the villain hissed, the young men In
the front seats had some discouraging
remark. "Shut up," "Oh, my!" "He,
he," "Soak your head," "Maudle," and
other things not expected from laun
drled linen were said. After a time the
actors got used to It; tho comedian
dropped his air of uncertainty and tho
waste-basket he was carrying In front
of him, and the show proceeded.
At the end of the act Manager Woods
came before the curtain and requested
that the joung men please keep quiet.
He was answered with cat-calls. Then
Doortender Hamilton was appealed to
and In a more decided way he proceed
ed to silence tho batch. They laughed
at him. One young fnan w Ith a yellow
bouquet actually dared him.
Hamilton Is fairly well built and he
caught hold of the yellow-bouquetcd
young man and yanked him upwnrd.
At this the half-dozen others In the
batch pitched upon the attache. The
battle lasted five minutes. Blows were
struck freely. One fellow was thrown
down tho steps, landing on his stiff hat.
Another had his ejo blacked, and a
third wns seperated ftom his collar and
tie.
Finally the whole gang were dropped
severally on the sidewalk outside and
the show went on.
HIS HEAD WAS INJURED.

Will Investigate.
John MoCloskey. of South Scranton,
awoke yesterday from a four-days'
stupor. He Is at the Lackawanna hos
pital. It was not a deep dream of peace.
McCloskcy's sleep was broken by the
wildest visions and pains from what
the hospital physicians say was a pois
oned stomach. The police have been
notified of the facts of the case and
the result mny be tho arrest of some
person or persons now known only to
McCloslcey, the pol'ce and the hospital
physicians.
At G o'clock last Sunday evening
three young men were returning to
their homes In South Scranton. As
they were passing under the railroad
arch on Adnms avenue, below Lacka
wanna, ono of the young men stumbled
over the prostrate body ot a. mnn. It
was McCloskey. He was cnrrled Into
the quarters of the Phoenix engine
house on Lackawanna avenue, near
by, and laid out upon tlit floor.
Something about the appearance of
McCloskey caused the permanent men
nt tho Phoenix to send, not for a police
olTlcer, but for the Lackawanna hos
pital ambulance. At the hospital a
stomach pump was used. The con
tents of McCloskcy's stomnch were
subjected to an analysis, the result of
which was a conclusion that McClos
key had been "doped" or poisoned.
The next day, Monday, when friends
of tho man called, they further con
firmed the idea of foul play by saying
that McCloskey was a total abstainer
and had never In his life drank liquors
of any kind. Yesterday McCloskey re
covered sufficiently from the effects of
the drug to tell of his whereabouts Sun
day. The information gleaned will be
placed at the disposal of the police.
McCloslcey Is still veiy weak, physic
ally, and shows an Inclination to avoid
talking of the matter. He is 30 year3
of age.
