FUNERAL OP OUORQE EVANS. THE LITTLE BOY WHO WAS KILLED ON TUESDAY-FIRE ON SOUTH ORANT AVENLE-CONCERT OF FRANKLIN COMPANY. No surer Indication of the spirit of the times which uro hard herenotltH can be gathered by an estimate of the excursions thlch are conducted dur ing' a eeason. There have been n few nlrcady from this side but the attcn dnncc has been men?re. The tendency Is to hold a picnic nt T.aurel Hill park or Nny Auk imrk nnd not risk nn excursion, especially when most people luivo been to neat by points and If they eo nt all would pre fer to jro to some new place. That the mines are working poot'y ' proven more surely by the absence this year of the annual Mine Accidental Funds' excursions. Ho far Micro has Hot been one nnd there uppcnirs little likelihood of Mure being any unless n combination of scleral funds uio effected. Many of the funds havo dis banded since the flr&t of the year. Usually every other dny durlntr the two months of July nnd Auqiist an average of an excursion for every two days was maintained. Conclusions for this year can be drawn by the follow ing list of prospective excursions Tuesday. July 19, the Excelsior Camp, lng club of Bellevue will go to Lake Idlswlld, Susquehanna, county. Wednesday, July 20, a Joint picnic will be conducted at Laurel Hill park by the members of the First Welsh TIaptlst Sunday school of South Main avenue and the Carfteld Avenue and the Bellevue Baptist missions.

A small building used as a hennery on the rear of the lot occuolcd by Michael Gllbty, on South Grant avenue took tire yesterdny shortly after noon und was totally destroyed In a few minutes. It Is said that several chick ens were buuied, but, outside of this the damage was slight. Great excite ment was caused nnd In the excite ment somo one ran nearly three blocks to send nn alarm from box 37, corner of Everett avenue and Jackson street. The nearest box, No. 32C, corner of Sherman avenue and Washburn street, only a short Mock uwoy, was forgotten. It seems Unit on the slightest pretext nn alarm Is sent In nowadays. In yes terday's Instance, a few moment's con sideration would have indicated the usetessness of a fire company and be Rldo the companies were taken the longest and hardest way to get to the fire. The horses were completely wet with lather nnd perspiration as a re sult of the run and In the heat of the day this was dangerous. It certainly is bad enough to have to call them out when they really could be used. NEW ENGINE NEEDED. It would not bo n strange thing If some day when the Franklin engine Is being used nt a big fire on this side that an awful accident happened. A terilfic explosion, followed by the kill ing or maiming of the llremen whose duty necessitates their presence near the engine, and persons standing near will surely bo the result. In addition, tho ability to fight the fire, especially where the ordinary pressure Is very low, will disastrously handicap affairs. The West Scranton public will havo their sense of Justice moused by that explosion nnd a new engine will be procured, perforce because the old one Is destroyed. That such a possibility of un event like the above taking place exists Is certain. Every time the en gine has been used during the last year it has broken down. When returning from yesterday's fire on South Grant avenue, when It was only heated up to running pitch, the drop tubes fell out and the water es caped. The engine was thus rendered entirely useless. No more can be ex pected when the enzine has been In continuous service nearly three times as many years as guaranteed. FUNERAL OF A CHILD. The funeral of George Evans, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin W. Evans, who died as, the result of a shocking accident on Tuesday last, was held yesterday afternoon from tho family residence nt 128 South Main avenue. The attendance of friends and relatives was very large and the floral offerings were very beautiful. Rev. James Hughes, of Jackson street, officiated nnd preached the funeral sermon.

Tho pall-bearers were tho Mlses Minnie Reese, Edith Lloyd, Jen nie Thomas and Emma Lewis. O'GRADY AGAIN TRIED. J. J. O'Urndy and his wife, Ann O'Grndy, of Jackson street, waived a hearing nnd entered ball In the sum of 1500 each for their appcaranco at court to nnswer a charge of exposing poison with evil Intent. The charge' was pre ferred acalnst them by Thomas Mc Andrew nnd Thomas Murphy, of Key ser aVenue. The prosecutors each lost a valunblo cow on Juno 19 by reason of tho fact that the wild cows had broken Into tho rear lot of the O'Clrady premises nnd eaten some grapevine leaves. Paris green or some such poison had been spread In plentiful quantities upon those same lenves nnd ns n nntaalk! result the marauding cows died. The cows had gotten into thut lot once before and Mr. McAndrew offered, he says, to pay for the damage. His offer was refused and Mr. O'Grady Is accredited with saying he had pre pared for another Invasion. The O'Gradys were tried once before on a very similar charge before Alderman Dnvles but for some reason or other the cose fell through, though $20 lino and costs were imposed upon them.

Undtr this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, for publication, by ttie writer' name. The Tribune will not be held re ponilble for opinions here expresied.J About Hundar Trains. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: If you will a'low me a little space In your publication 1 would like to say a few words about the proposed runnln; of Sunday train. to Lake Ariel throu'i the summer. 1 am a little surprised at the action of the Central Labor union end especially their nisumenU on behalf of this so-cullcd privilege. In the first place they say it would be of bene tit to the ne thoucanri and more members of labor ol tiers In the city whi nio working six days every week und can not pctslblv Und time to take a vucatlon. It mak"s me feel good to think thu there are so many i.iboilng men In Scran ton working so rtendy, und to think that they would ull like to spend I heir Sundiy at Ariel. Now. any man who Is working six days n week tho year atound can afford to stay home Sundays and t.iko a ihreo months' vacation In the summer. So running Sunday trains to Lake Ariel will bo no beneilt to them. Another thing, tho man who is not working six steady days e.ich week can go to Lake Ariel through the week Just as well as on Sunday. So Sunday trains would bo no beneilt to that class who, I fear, nro In the large majority. Jf the laboring man will stop and con sider a moment he will see that he would be making his fellow man work on Sun day that he might enjey himself, not considering that his neighbor may hao worked hard ull tho previous week, Another thing I r.m of the opinion that It might bo against tho Christian princi ples of the head officers of the Erie and Wyoming Vnlle to run Sunday trains, nnd that being the case, what right has tho public to ask them to go against the dictates of their conscience? Scranton has abundance of good parks and driveways and tho weather Is not so hot but what people can stand It for a few weeks. If the laboring man wants to dig a pit that will work his own destruction In af ter years, let him demand that the bar riers of generations bo broken down, and ho will llnd It Impossible to repair them when ho finds out to his sorrow that he Is only held still tighter In the grip or him who desires to rule with an iron hand.

(Copyright, 1SDS. by the Associated Press.) Off Aguadores, July 14, 3 p. r.t , via Port Antonio, July IS, 4.13 n. m. When General Tornt on Monetn last lefused absolutely to consider the terms of un conditional sui render nnd when Gen eral Shnfter announced negotiations nt an end, It wns believed on board the American wni ships that the taking of Santiago without further lighting wns an Impossibility. Consequently every preparation was made for a co-operative assault. As the hour of noon approached the Now York ran close to shore at Agua dores and took up a position In readi ness to bombaid. The Brooklyn ranged close in tile rear of the New Yark, and the other vessels took up the positions previously assigned to them. The swift little Hist steamed down to Juragua to await word fiom General Miles. Noon came and the excected call to quarters was not issued. From the bridges of the warships the ofllccrr trnlned their glasses alternately on the signal station ashore nnd on the fleet of transports oft Juragua, behind which the Hist had dtsappcaicd. As 1 and 2 o'clock passed without nn order to Lo gin the bombardment, the excitement among tho officers who knew the sig nificance of the delay grew. It was a few minutes after 2 o'clock when the Hist emerged from behind the am noted transports and started on a short run from Juragua to Aguadores, to the flag ship, signalling as she passe.l on. GOOD NEWS CHKEUED. The battleship Oregon wnn the first vessel In line, and the signal "The en emy has surrendered" was first made out from the bridge of Captiin Clark's ship. A cheer burst from the officers on the nfterdeck nnd It wns echoed by tho men clustered forward. At almost tho same Instant the other ships In the fleet caught the momentous meaning of the signal flags which Hashed at Hlst's swaying masthead and a great cheer from a host of American throats swept through the squadron, from ship to ship, while answering pennant" Hew from each vessel In response to the New York's lepetltlon of the Hlst's signals. Had the plans of today's bombaid ment been carried out the city of San tiago would have been torn to pieces before night, The fleet had the exact range, and, although the city was about eight miles away and hidden ny the hills nlong the const. Commodore Schley announced that shells could bo dropped In the heart of tho town every two minutes for ns long a time as General Shafter thought it necessary. Aside from the work of the fleet seven batteries of artillery were In position, and so placed that three-Inch shells could have been hurled Into the town from all sides. BOTH WANTED INJUNCTIONS. Mcrrltt nnd UhltlookArn Anxious to Restrain One Another. An unique proceeding took place In Judge Archbald's chambers In court Thursday. Attorney A. A. Vosburg asked for an Injunction nnd It was re fused. A few minutes later Attorney George W. Beale, representing the man against whom the injunction wns asked camo In and wanted one to le straln the other man, and he also was refused. Nathan Whltlock owned 86 acres of land In Scott township. He died a year ago. Attorney C. B, Gardner was ap pointed administrator un8 upon enter ing upon the discharge of his duties discovered that the debts outbalanced the value of the farm. It had to be sold to satisfy the debts, and was bought In by William Merrltt, of Rend ham, for $1,250. After Whltlock's death, his son An drew J., took a small corner of the farm to cultivate. He has been per mitted to occupy It since the title passed to Mr. Merrltt merely because the latter did not want to disturb him. Whltlock claims now a one-half Inter est in the land nnd there Is a large crop of hay on It, which Merrltt was about to harvest. The first Injunction asked to prevent Merrltt from taking the hay, and the second Injunction asked that Whltlock be restrained from preventing or obstructing Merrltt In taking It. THE CONDITION OF IMIOGRESS From tho New York Sun. Tha thing known us "National Expan sion," und talked of as something new, has been, since tho beginning ot history, the rule of every progiceslvo nation. In cluding most conspicuously the United States, The peculiarly American motto addressed to tho Individual citizen ot "growing up with the country" has neor shut out from the sight of our statesmen the greater principle that this country I? to grow up with tho world. The old rsshloned world, In which somo philos ophers imagined us ns rising above all in prosperity and greatness through Isola tion nnd strict confinement within our Atlantic and Pacific coasts, bus sunk out of sight beneath tho world of today, with Its telegraph that puts Hong Kong by the side of New York, Its stenmshlp that makes coal the arbiter of warfare,! nnd Its Impending dlsmcmbeiment, by a few powerful nations of advanced chlllzatlo-i, of the most colossal empire of history, tho Chinese empire, With this gigantic transformation, growing up means mere. ly that we must equip ourselves with tho means of protecting our vast Interests after the manner of our rivals In comps lltlon, or, after the manner of China, be subordinated und eclipsed. 653Rim7 AMUSEMENTS NANA THE LAST CHANCE TO SEE the most megnlflcent picture ot this or nny other age.
