of 210 North Bromley avenue, ate some

tnpe from death In consequence. In
relaying Its track on Washburn Btrcct,
the Scranton Railway company uses
u quantity of tar which seems to have
quite a fascination for the children
ol the neighborhood who, strange to
say, have found It palatable.
Some of tho older children would
roll the tar up In the form of pills and
give It to the younger ones, telling
them It wao candy. In this way quite
a quantity of tar found Its way Into
the stomachs of children of that vicin
ity, one of whom was the Zlntle boy.
He became so HI that his parents cnll
ed In Dr. Longstreet who quickly dis
covered the cause of the trouble. Acid
contained In the tar Is poisonous and
olmoi.t had a fatal effect In this In

be In a piecarlous condition.

HAD A LOADED CLUB.
Not many arrests are being made
during the warm, wedding days of
June by the members of the West
Scranton detail. However, when one
Is made, there is nearly always a
"feature" Early yesterday morning a
gang of hoodlums were bent on dis
turbing the whole community In the
lclnlty of Sherman avenue and Jack
son street.
Patrolman Klah Peters, who had
been noting their movements for some
time, cautioned them. They said
things. Among them was one fellow,
young, big and foolish, who was a!?o
emphatic. He got arrested, not with
out a tussle during which he drew a
club similar in shape to a policeman's
day club and endeavored to "resist."
In police court yesterday morning he
paid n line of $5 out of a roll of $20's
and left his club, which was heavily
loaded, as a memento. His name Is
John Johnson, and he resides on Sher
man avenue.

STRAYED FROM HOME.
Joseph Smltcavltch, the seven-year-old
ton of John iSmltcavitch. of Third
street, was lost yesterday all day and
his parents knew nothing of it until
he was returned to them by tho West
Side police detail at 10 o'clock last
evening.
The lad was picked up by Patrolman
Evans, on North Main avenue, about
0 o'clock. He said his brother brought
him up there to see a parade and then
ran away from him. He lived near
Majernlk's hotel, he said, and he also
recognized Patrolman Peters as the
man who put two men out of his
father's hotel "last year." He really
did not care whether he went home or
not, and would like to be a parado
man or a policeman.
GRADING THE STREET.
In this column It was noted recently
that Select Councilman Frable, of the
Nineteenth ward was about to make
a third and final effort to have the
property owners in the 600 block on
Hickory street sign a petition asking
that the street be graded at their ex
pense. The desires of the many were
laid low by tho few, there being two
who refused to comply with the pro
visions of the paper. The property
holders, however, are determined that
two objections shall not frustrate the
Improvement. Accordingly they have
asked Mr. Erable for a profile of the
grade for that block.
Tho woik of grading Is about com
pleted, as far as can be gone. None
will lay flag-walks or pave the gutters
for tho present. The work done Is a
marked Improvement over the nbom
lnable condition of the street for years.
