At least one tragedy, bloodless wo Brant, has happened In this city, and neither police, coroner nor county de tective havo been apprised of it. Tho Scranton Railway company should have made tho facts, in connec tion with the affair, known to tho proper authorities, but it may well bo doubted If It was even ru portcd to them, though It was by means of ono of their cars that tho bloodless tragedy occurred. That there was an evident desire to suppress details was Apparent to an ex tent for the car was fairly well crowded at tho ilmo of the affair ot which tho true facts are about to be related. Con science, however, smoto at least ono pas senger and ho unbossomed nlmself. Ono. evening not long ago, a heavy vestibule car of tho Street Railway com pany was on Its outward bound trip to Dunmore over the Laurel Hill line. It was ubout 10 o'clock and many passen gers wcro aboard. Conductor Arthur Evnns nnd Motorman Enoch Evans were in charge of th car nnd everything had gone along In monotonous routine until after they had passed the Laurel Hill park switch. Just above tho twitch u heavy curve begins nnd swings around Into Blakcly street toward No. B branch. The tracks nro well to tho leu sldo of tho road going toward Dunmoro and about tho middle of tho curve heavy shade trees on abutting properties cast a deep shadow over tho rails. A dis quieting feeling seemed to affect Motor mnn Evans. Ho leaned forward, muscles ttnsc, eyes and cars alert. Then a yell that would havo dono credit to tho Rough Riders' leader nt Santiago broke from lilm as ho frantically shut off tho power, Jammed on his raclict brake and reversed his power. The car was almost on end with the suddenness of Its reverse, hut Its weight carried It forward and with a dull thud, a largo, heavy man, who waB standing In the mlddlo of tho track, wus hurled Into tho fender. The car stopped, Con ductor and motorman Jumped from tho car to 'Investigate, while " tho jiasscn- STniflRKSt" W" WmpSm gets were untangling themselves from the scots nnd seeking on explanation. "Good Heaven. 'F.vans, It Is another. I'm bavin' bud luck these days." said Motorman Uvans to Conductor Evans as ho stood trembling before tho fender while both stared at tho Inanimate form, A gurgle of laughter from a. nearby porch, and n scream of pent up amuse ment nearby seemed to havo a peculiar effect on Motorman Evans. Ho slczed tho still, tnanlmatn form, and lifting It from tho fender hurled It to tho roadbed, Jumped on It, tore It apart nnd scattered straw, clothes and rags to tho winds. Conductor Evans stood nghast for a moment and then retired behind the car. Tho passengers attempted to Interfere, hut one look at Evans' face deterred the boldest. Tim poor Inanlma'to object which ho liml run Into was an rulgy of tho "Unspeakablo Weyler" nnd tho plac ing of It on tho track a new way of suggesting what would bo dono to tho real Weyler. Hut stay, Evans was remembering much more, Two years ago ho ran over u lltllo child and has never forgotten It. This second experience, though a hoax, has severed the connections of a flrst class motoiman with tho company and Evuns has gone Into tho hotel business on Jackson street near Main avenue. He was n little man of three and had much enjoyed the entertainment afforded by tho graphar-hene when at his grand father's residence on Qulncy avenue. Tho other afternoon the graphaphono refused to work and much consternation was ex pressed regarding the difficulty. When everybody was still, nfter vain efforts to locate the cause of the trouble, the small chap earnestly remarked with nn air nf virtuous consciousness of being utterly blameless In tho matter: "Well, anyway, I never did do a ling to It. I only did pour ono cup of water In tho placo wheio tho oil goes." Tho Petersburg nnd Nay Aug cars now tun on tho Laurel Hill lines and the pat ions haven't yet grown used to tho change, but continue to stand in squads nrar Sanderson's drug storo and swear more or less excitedly about tho kind of time observed on that division. Yes terday a conductor on a Petersburg car announced nt t.lnden street, "Transfer to Shanty Hill!" and the passengers who were destined for what Is politely term ed Stone avenue, almost tumbled off tho fcr trail In their speechless indignation. Hut, after all, what's In a namo? Ueorgo Darte, of Wllkes-IJarr". United States consul at Martinique, lias safely gone through a stage of yellow fever.

STAMP SHORTAGE STILL CONTINUES No War Revenue Stamps Received Ifere Since Lait Thursday. ItAILHOAD AND TELEOnArH COM PANIES HECUNN1NG TO SEND IN NEW OHDEUS, SOME Of WHICH CANNOT BE FILLED-rAllTIAti FILMNQ OF OltDEnS IS MAKINO MUCH EXTRA WORK IN THE ItEV ENL'E OFFICE-STAMP OPINIONS Y COMMISSIONER SCOTT. The stamps so urgently, needed by Collector Penman had not reached here up to a late hour yesterday after noon nor had ho received at that time any Information Indicating' when they would be received. The last lot of stamps for this district arrived last week Thursday. During that day nnd Friday all of tho desirable smaller de nominations were sold. Stamps nf larger denominations, for which there Is nut much demand, remained and many ot thmn ure on hand now. Meanwhllo tho clamor for both pro prietary and documentary stamps has In no wise ceased. A vast correspond ence, too large to be filled untlt It Is attended to nnd much of It accom panied by remittances for stamps, lies In the vaults rendr to receive atten tion as soon ati stamps are received. Much extra clerical work Is required In the partial filling of orders from certnln denominations on hand. Tho extra work keeps tho olllco force on duty until late each night. It was thought the railroad and tele graph olllces had purchased a suffic ient amount to tide them over tho first rush but the Erie and Wyoming Val ley railroad has filed an urgent order for nearly all the lesser denominations, the Delaware, Iackawanna and West ern company has applied for a supply and the Western Union Telegraph company has also made known Its need of stamps. The First and Third National and Scranton Savings banks yesterday re ceived consignments of check stumps from New York city. Each of these Institutions observed some days ago that their first purchases n! stamps would not last long, but new supplies could not be obtained here. Urgent orders 'by telegraph and letter were sent to tho bunks' respective exchanges In New York city with tho result that enough stamps were received yester day to tido them over several week-t. STAMPKD CHECKS. Ranks and Individuals can save them selves the trouble of affixing and can celling bank stamps by purchasing check hooks printed In ten designated government printing houses In as many cities. Each check contains nn engraved revenue 2-cent stamp. Those checks may be purchased through Col lector Penman. Collector Penman has received copies of nbout a score of opinions of N. D. Scott,' commissioner of Internal reve nue, bearing upon certain provisions ot the war revenue act. Some of these are of sufficient Import to bear the signed approval of Lyman .1. Gage, secretary of tho Treasury department, of which tho Internal revenue bureau Is u part. Many of the following opin ions will give useful information to merchants, bankers and others In this city: Checks issued prior to July 1 do not have to be stamped, though cubhed gu sequent to that date. MAnufactutlug companies having on hand cash surplus awaiting use In pay ment ot dividends, which surplus mean while Is loaned upon collaterals, are re quired to pay special tax as banks under act of Juno 13, 1&U8. Whero a check Is presented for pay ment without tho requisite stamp, the bank, If It chooses, may atllx and cancel tho stamp Itself, it this Is dona before payment. Certificates of deposit bearing Inter est nro subject to a tax of 2 cents when for a sum not exceeding $100, nnd also to same tax for every additional $100 or fraction thereof. In reckoning the amount ot special tax required to bo paid by banks, tho surplus should bo taken us Including tho undivid ed profits. MUST BE STAlttED. A stamp tax must be paid on checks drawn by otllcers ot a company on tho company for payment of workmen. Insect powders io not come under mo head of proprietary articles and aro not subject to tax. Tax must bo paid and stamps affixed to sample packages of proprietary medi cines, etc., sent out by tho manufactur ers, though not sold or removed for sale. Perfumeries, cosmetics etc, aro equally liable, to tho stamp tax when sold In bulk packages ns when sold In retail packages nnd tho value of tho stamp or stamps must correspond to prico charged for tho smallest retail package with its contents. Soaps taken out of tho category of toilet or laundry articles by a claim for their curative or healing properties must bo stamped ns medicinal or cos metic articles. Schcdulo A, act ot Juno 13, 1S0S. pro vides a tax of 2 cents on nil sales or agreements to sell, or memoranda of sales, or deliveries or transfers of shares of stock In any association, company or corporation, whether made upon or shown by tho books of tho assoc'atlon, company or corporation, or by any assignment In blank, or by any delivery, or by any pa per or agreement, or memorandum, or other evldenco of transfer or sale, wheth er entitling the holder In any manner to tho benefit of such stock or to secure tho payment of money or for tho future transfer of any stcck-on each $100 of faco value or fraction thereof. In reference to legacy taxps, tho law does not apply to cases whero the grantor died before Juno 13, 1S9S. TOBACCO SELLERS. Persons representing cigar manufac turers who aro lurnlshed with samples and send orders to factories, receiving a commission for furnishing orders, nro liable as commercial brokers, provided they pay their own traveling expenses nnd are not classed ns regular employes wholly subject to directions from tho firm. Brokers must pay special tax In each city whero they do business. Warehouse receipts for whisky In bond Is subject to tax. It Is too early to oven estimate how much tho war revenue stamp sales will Increaso tho receipts of this revenue district. To give an estimate Collector Penman would have to know tho amount of uvoraso business of tho banks, drug stores, express and rail road companies, etc. Tho .alo of stamps now will not Indicate the1 ultl matrt revenue oven approximately for in some cases tho required stamps'have not lcen sold and in others the amount purchased hat: been greatly in excess of present needs. For tho same reason any statement of stamps sold to date would be mis leading nnd of no value in the faco of tho rush for tho sninll denomina tions as soon as they were received.

Lelper, ot Pennsylvania Sab bath Association, Issues an Address. HE SAYS THE CHRISTIAN CITIZENS OF SCRANTON ARE JN THE 'MA JORITY AND CAN ELECT ANY GOOD TICKET ON WHICH THEY MAY UNIAE - URGES THEM TO UNITE AND SELECT COMPETENT MEN WHO HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD. Rev. J. II. Lelper, one of the field secretaries ot tho Pennsylvania Hab bath association, mention of whose presence In the city was made in yes terday's Tribune, has issued the fol lowing, which Is addressed "To tho Friends of Good Government:" Tho fool hath said in his heart, thero is no God," Psalm xlv, 1. To Ignore or op poso law is tho very essence of Atheism; und Atheism Is the parent of anarchy. nd anarchy on earth would be hell bo gun. Tnero Is no stnmllng room between law and penco on tho ono hand nnd nn urehy and hopeless ruin on tho other. Tho truth of this stntemcut Is corroborated by the Dlvlno word nnd all history, both individual und national. "There Is no pence salth my God to the. wicked," "Tho wicked aro llko tho troubled sea which cannot rest, but ensteth up mlro and dirt." Hut It Is also truo that "no man llvcth to himself;" hence tho element of disobedience to law Is a troubter of tho peace a nuisance Incompatible with good government and public safely. No community can afford to bo Indifferent to tho conduct of tho lawless and dis obedient. FROM EVERY STANDPOINT. This ts true from whatever standpoint It Is viewedwhether social, commercial or moral. Men may Imaglno that the safest way for them to act In regard to tho conduct of tho lawless Is to let them nlonc. Thnt Is precisely what that das' ot Inhabitants asks you to do. "Let us alono unci attend to your own business!" Is their lmpude"( retort when expostu lated with. All that satan asked of Jesus Christ was. "Let us alone; hast thou come hither to torment us beforo tho time?" But Jesus tho king could not nfford to let tho legion of devils alono for they had possession ot ono of Ills children, so Ho permitted them to go Into tho herd of swlno which resulted both In tho destruction of tho hogs and the banishment of tho demons. Those Gudareno Jews wcro thus re buked for Indulging In. to them, a for bidden occupation, but they wcro kindly delivered out of tho clutches of eatan. Whero a Christian community becomes aroused to thtlr danger from tho pres ence of tho demon of lawlessness among then they only need to apply tho power with which their Lord has endowed thorn and soon tho demon will be cast out. That seems llko nn easy solution of n difficult problem, but It Is as Infallible, ns tho word of God. See Proverbs xxlx, 2. In reply to a question of the writer an Intelligent citizen of this city remarked: "Yes, sir, tho Christian citizens of Scran ton aro a majority nnd can elect any good ticket on which they may unite." Thou for God's sake and fcr the Eako of all that Is holy on earth unite and Irre spective of creed or party select from your citizenship competent men who havo the fear of God (not man) beforo their eyes and fill your municipal offices with them, nnd Scranton will "bo redeemed out of nil her troubles." What will tho re sults bo? That Is a big question. Our pen would have to bo dipped in tho beams of the sun to pottrny tho results that would follow such action ns surely as tho bright morning follows the night. WOULD BE RESTUBED. Tho Sabbath of tho commandment would bo restored to your city, viz.: "In It thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that Is within thy gates." Not n place of secular busi ness would be open on tho Lord's day. Not a wheel of Industry would bo turned. Tho cry of the poor thoughtless or un taught newiboy would cease to be heard on your streets on the day of God. Tho folks whoso moral taste relishes tho con tents of the "Sunday newspaper" for Sab bath reading (what a burlesquo on piety, the very thought!) would have to provldo tnemsoives therewith on Saturday. Tho cigar luxury would havo to bo l.-.ld up In storo tho evening before. "Tho nec essaries of life" would havo to ho all provided for on Saturday. What a beau tiful day for rest and worship each Lord's day would be! Not a drunken man on jour streets any day of tho week. Bias phemy nnd profanity would gradually ceaso to bo heard. The pews In your churches would bo fuller nnd tho to bacco Btores and beer dens would lo empty for that day at least. When will wo learn that civil government Is an or dinance of God.
