Alex Dunn, Jr., was tho hero of a bat tle with a big rattlesnake on tho Kim hurst boulevard Sunday afternoon when the bun was netting. Tho rcptllo fought with desperate resistance. It was live feet long all but two inches, and was eleven inches in circumference around the thickest part of tho body. Mr. llunn, his wife and two other ladles were driv ing toward Elmhurst. On Hearing a bend In thn road this side of tho point where the Scranton Gas and Wnter company's road converges toward the WHIIuiuh' Bridge reservoir, thero wero two car riages stopped and the horses weie pranc ing about. Theodore Straub was in one of the carriages, and 11 party from Mos cow was In tho other. Mr. Dunn ilrovo up behind and Inquired tho reason for the action of the horses. Pretty soon his horses began tho same capers, but lie put the whip to them and drove by. Four rattlesnakes were colled alongside the read and they were shaking their rattles. He went by a few hundred yards with the team, and returned afoot firmed with btones and cudgels. Three of tho snakes got under cover, but ho enguged tho fourth and desttoyed It.

AVo let them help themselves until wo had silenced the gunboat nnd then we started after them.

Only One Tiro nnd Thnt Wan a Vcrr Sninll Aflnir. Scranton firemen say that yesterday was tho record breaker among Fourths of July for many years. From 12 o'clock Sunday night until 12 o'clock last night only one alarm was sound ed, nnd this, from box 4S at 11,15 p. m. was for a slight blaze caused by nn explosion of a lamp on tho South Side. As far ns could be learned last night not even a still alarm was received during the day. At every company quarters men, horses nnd apparatus had been on tho alert since Saturday evcnlnc to re spond to calls with tho least delay possible. That there was nothing to do during yesterday's daylight hours is attributed to tho heavy mid-day rains. Last night's lire was duo to the ex ploding of a lamp which set fin; to the dwelling house occupied by Mrs. Dingle, on Birch street. The South Scranton lire companies responded but tho tire had been put out by a bucket brlgadp before thoy arrived, Little damage resulted, tho carpet and a few pieces of furniture being slightly burned TOO V0UNQ TO WED. Hut Old Enough to Ho Sent to Jnil for Attempting It. For trying to Induce a 15-year-old girl, Jennie Hendricks, to marry him, Louis Miller, 1" years of age, was ar raigned yesterday morning before Al derman Millar and committed to Jail in defnult of $1,000 ball. Young Millar, according to tho story of the girl's mother, Mrs. Emma Hen dricks, and ns related in yesterday's Tribune, induced the girl recently to go with him to BInghamton, where, on ac count of their youthful appearance, they failed to find a clergyman who would make them one. Miller's attor ney protested against viewing the mat ter in a serious light, claiming for his young client that it wus but a mis directed love affair. Before the youth was tuken to Jail by Special Ofllcer Bryant, ho was put under $300 ball to keep the pence, Miss Ethel M. Martin alleging, that ho had made threats against her early yes terduy morning. After tho hearing, Mrs. Hendricks announced that sho proposed having her daughter committed to the Houso of the Good Shepherd or some similar Institution.

CALEDONIAN GAMES AT DRIVING PARK Many Cooteils Decided In Presence ol a Fair-Sized Crowd. TH13 BALLOON WENT UP BUT ITS INTENDED PASSENGER, WAS OBLIGED' TO REMAIN ON TERRA FIRMA-RA1N INTERFERED WITH THE ATTENDANCE AND ATHLETtC EVENTS, BUT THE EXCELLENT PROGRAMME WAS CARRIED OUT IN SPITE OF HANDICAP. Tho several downpours of rnln and the failure of the balloon to enrry Its Intended passenger Into the air were slight drawbacks to yesterday's thirty first annual games of tho Scranton Caledonian club. But thus handi capped, even, about 2,000 persons saw the nthlettc games decided and tho Caledonian celebration of tho day was all that could be expected. Arrangements for the balloon ascen sion were delayed by the rain, but at 7 o'clock tho big airship was nearly In flptcd nnd everyone expected a fitting finale to the day's programme. The aeronnuts ran out of oil and it was over a half hour before more was pro cured nnd the inflating process again fctartcd. Again all the oil was con sumed before tho balloon was properly filled, but It was then dark nnd the ascension management determined to risk nn ascent. W. "W. Ocker, of Mansfield. O.. with his parachute wero loaded Into the "cannon," a cylinder of wood about ten feet long and twenty Inches In diam eter. Ho wus supposed to lire himself and apparatus out of tho cannon when In mld-nlr and descend by the para chute to the ground. When tho bal loon was released at S.25 o'clock It dragged Its cannon nnd the latter's human load over the ground until Ocker fired himself and paruchute out. Freed of the weight the balloon arose to the height of maybe 1,000 feet and settled In Green Ridge. THE SEA OF MUD. Tho noon rain caused a sea of mud on the little circular track fenced off In front of the grand stand. The sev eral downpours after 2 o'clock stopped tho contests, but they were later re sumed and were finished just before tho balloon went up. Tho crowd was much larger than was expected, In view of the unfavorable weather. Music by the Citizens' band of tho West Side was played at frequent intervals and buoyed the spirits of spectators, con testants and management alike. Of tho twenty-seven field and track events on tho original programme all but three were decided. The officials wero as follows; Ring master. Clansman Lindsay Mc Millan; ring cashier, ex-Chlcf Alexander Jeffrey; starter, Clansman Thomas Gem mell. Committee of arrangements. Chief John McMillan, Second Chieftain Robert Bush ncll.

FIREMEN'S DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS. Took Plncn nt tho Chemical Engine Company's Quarters. Ono of the best displays of fireworks in tho business district was, strange ly enouph, provided by the firemen themselves. A large crowd on upper Lackawanna nventie and thereabout thoroughly enjoyed the elaborate dis play of Phoenix Chemical company un der the direction of Permanent Men James W. George, Lincoln Tillman and Thomas Campbell and Substitute Jo seph Hcltmar.n. They began their pyrotechnic cele bration of the Fourth nnd the Santiago episode at 9.30 o'clock and continued It a half hour. Their dlsplny Included about every kind of flteworks from crackers to rcckots and was most com mendable. ' CITY TREASURER ROUND INJURED. Thrown from Carriage on Lncka wnnnn Arenuo During Storm. City Treasurer C. G. Boland was slightly Injured by being thrown from hla carriage on Lnckawiinna avenue yesterday afternoon during the heavy rain and hall storm. A spirited horse owned by Mr. Bo land attached to a light carriage was standing on Lackawanna avenue when tho storm began. Tho horse showed signs of uneasiness and Mr. Boland Jumped into the carriage with the In tention of driving 'to Cusiek's stable on Washington avenuo where It is kept. Mr. Boland was compelled to keep hla head down nnd wore his hat drawn over his forehead to save his face from the little chunks of Ice that were pelt ing downward with no little force. Near Williams' candy store on Lacka wanna avenue Mr. Boland's horse ran into one drawn up at the curbstone. Tho collision threw Mr. Boland to the sidewalk, Injuring one of his legs and bruising his forehead. His frigh tened horse started up Lackawanna avenuo nnd at Wyoming turned down that thoroughforo toward Spruce. Near tho Leader the carriage was over turned nnd quite badly damaged. The horse released Itself from tho Incum brance of the vehicle, and resumed Its lllsht up tho avenue. It was cap tured at tho St. Cloud hotel. Aside from a few scratches it suffered no In Jury. RAIN INTERFERED. Games That Wero to Ho Held Under tho Auspices of llio Irish Ameri can Soelotlcs Postponed. Thero would unboubtedly bo upwards of 3,000 people at Ath letic park yesterday had not tho storm Intervened and spoiled the grounds for the field dav exercises. The executive committee of the Uni ted Irish societies met after tho storirn which began a few minutes after 1 o'clock and decided to postpone the cel ebration until next Snturday. A large amount of damn go was done and three persons were hurt In the wind, and hail storm by the blowing down of the refreshment stands in the right field section of the park. Those injured were: John J. McAndrew, an employe of M. J. Kelley, and Philip Graf and wife who were lilted to cut sandwiches. There was n canvas canopy over the stands and down it came in a heap with the hall and wind. These three were underneath it at the time. The electric wiring that had been tempor arily put In to supply current for the are lamps at night was knocked down and twisted all over the ground. McAndrew was struck on the back by the falllnit of one of the poles on which an arc lamp was supported. His injuries are rot serious, but he had to go home. Philip Graf received a pain ful gash on the calf of the right leg, nnd was bruised about the body. Mrs. Graf wus cut on tho face by a flyins board. The ttands were .stocked with about $200 worth of Ice cream, soft drinks, cakes, pies, candles, etc., and the big gest part of this stock was ruined by the rain. All tho plates and glassware were smashed into bits by the crash of tho stands. It resembled a small cyclone and there was fear and trembling among tho ones present that the roof of the grand stand would be ltftcd and blown Into the field. Many a sigh of relief was .heaved when the storm ceased. It hegan shortly after 1 oVlock and lasted for 15 minutes. As soon as it moderat ed there was an exodus to tho street, and horoewnrd bound cars were secur ed ns quickly as they could be. The crowd that had paid Its way into the park at 1 o'clock was almost 500. Rain checks were given for admittance on Saturday. Champion Sweeney, the high Jumper, was present at 3 o'clock, the time appointed for his exhibition but tho grounds were deserted except by a few athletes who wero practicing, and some of tho executive committee. Mr. Sweeney was disappointed. He said he was in as fine condition as he ever was in his life, and hoped to do somo good work yeBterday. An ar rangement may be made to have him appear Saturday. RAIN DID NOT INTERFERE. Picnic ol St. l'nul'i Congregation Was Very Successful. The picnic of St. Paul's congregation of Green Ridge at Sanderson's park was visited by crowds In the evening, despite the rain storm yesterday. Ar rangements had been made for a din ner in tho church hall at noon no mat ter how fine the day should be. The refreshments and eatables had not been taken to tho park when the storm broke. Tho wind was very strong and blow down twenty feet of the flag pole in front of the church, Tho pole was a solid piece of hickory and was ono of the strongest raised in this city.

VERY SEVERE WIND AND HAIL STORM Did a Considerable Amount of Damage About Ibe City. , TWO PKBSONS INJURED AT ATH LET1C PARK-BOLT OK LIGHTNINO BID A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OP DAMAOE AT THE TOWER HOUSE OK THE SCRANTON RAILWAY COM. PANV-ON THi: SOUTH SIDE dEW ERS WERE CHOKED AND NO LIT TLE DAMAGE RESULTED. One of the memorable features of the Fourth of July this year was a severe rain and 'hall storm that swept this city and Its vicinity at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It did a great deal of damage in the way of choklnpr sewers, flooding properties and dam aging itrees, vines, etc. At Athletic Fark one of tho tempor ary stands erected was damaged and John J. McAndrew and Philip Graf Injured. The storm caused the post ponement of the games until Satur day. One of itho several sharp strokes of lightning Just before the hall storm at 1 o'clock entered the 'Scranton rail way power house on Providence road nnd disabled an engine and prevented traffic for about twenty-five mlnuteo. This was immediately preceding the flooding of "Carbon street which con tinued tho blockade on the rrnvldenco lino and which Is reported elsewhere. The current from tho lightning en tered tho power house on the wires and besides disabling tho engine burned out a switch box. The damage was repaired effectively and no more de lay from the lightning's source was experienced during tho day. The power' house nccldont and tho Carbon street flooding happened Just previous to the period when hundreds of persons wanted transportation to Athletic Park and the Scranton Driv ing Park. Both the railway company and the public suffered. Several cara were burned out. ON THE SOUTH SIDE. A lot of damage was done on the South Side by tho storm, and the bursting of a culvert. Henry Walters, a hotelman of Cedar avenue, will lose heavily. Tasslng through his three properties, Is a culvert, that starts at the intersection of Beech street and Klrst court, and empties Into a much larger one at the corner of Elm street and Cedar avenue. Late Saturday night the culvert burst at the lot, where Mr. Walters and his family reside. Thu water took an up ward course, and yesterday morning the thtce lots were covered. They are situated in a slight hollow, and the water cannot pass off. It will have to soak into tho ground. Tha severe rains of yestetday added to the depth of the water, and when it reached the point where the burst oc curred It could not pass any further down. Four days ago Mr. Walters ex pended nearly $30 to put In shape th culvert nt his lots. It was blocked then and he removed all tho obstructions. Charles Klrst's hotel cellar at Elm street nnd Cedar avenuo was well filled yesterday mcrnlnc, when his bartender opened the bar. His damages were caused by the culvert, passing down Em, street becoming blocked durin.tr the night, and the water was forced back into the cellar. The culvert at that point Is a large one, nnd into it flows several smaller streams. Teter Hiltz, of the street commissioners' depart ment, was notified and tho culvert was opened. Tho great volume coming from the blocked culvert, burst out at Remington avenue and Elm street. The street was Impassable to pedestrians for several hours. Several cellars in thi vicinity were flooded. THERE WAS A REPETITION. A repetition of what occurs every heavy rainstorm happened yesterday, nt tho properties en Plttston avenue, between Birch nnd Beech streets. The culvert alonsr thero is far too small. The Plttston avenue culvert at Brook street has been in a dangerous condi tion since May 20, when that terrifle storm washed away tho railing, slde walk, and a big portion of the founda tion. Yesterday's severe storm added to tho injury there. One of the first places, if not the very first, that gives the Scranton Railway company trouble when it rains heavily is the sag in Carbon A Good Set or Teeth for... $3.00 Our Best Sets of Teeth 5.00 Including the Palnlesi Extraction.
