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

HENNTRY BURNED DOWN.
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. He offered Christ's

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.

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. Edward J. Woodward,
Dunmore. Pa., July 15.

Engineer i lioinpiou Replies,
Editor of The Tribune.
, Sir; In the report of the hearing in
the application for tha erection of tho
borough of Mooslc, M. J. Donahoe, tho
uiiouii-y representing Messrs. Toole and
Coyne, the exceptants to the application,
makes some statements that I cannot
pqrmlt to go ur.chulleugcd, Ha accuses
Civil Engineer Thompson of doing sumo
"tnll swearing." I admit thn charge, I
did do soma "toll sweuring" in my testi
mony, so tull. In fact, and so far abovo
Mr. Donahoo's moral plane, that I am
not surprised at his 111 humor, for It was
strictly true. Ills statements to tho
court wero not. He said In his argument
that tho area of the proposed borough
wus 7,000 or 8.'Xi0 acres. The lines of tho
proposed borough contain the following
tracts of land, no more, no less;
W .1. Lewis, et ni, trustees Jioo acres
Nathaniel Brown (part of the).. 275acics
Androw Grove (part of tho) S3 acres
Thomas Good 450acies

How tho News ol tho Spaniards' Rnr
render Wns Cnrrlod to Mio Jnckics
on Snmpion's Ships.
(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.
