SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT
ARE VERY NECESSARY.

from Death John Jones Has a
Badly Cut Head in Consequence
of Being Struck By the Hoof of a
Horse A Fool Practical Joke.
While many things have been con
sidered for the purposo of Improving
conditions on this side only a por
tion have been put Into actual oper
ation. In some Instances, nn doubt,
thero Is vnlld excuse for i..her the
failure or delay. In nthei l. (.tuneva

It Is being nnked, whether the work
of covering the southerly exposed por
tion of the Mt. Pleasant ravine on
North Main avenue Is going to be car
ried out this year before winter Fets
in or before another heavy rain storm
will necessitate extra repairs. The
necessary legislation hns been passed
for omc time, including the appropri
ation of funds to do the work.
Nothing further seems to have been
done In reference to the widening of
Jackson street at tho point Just off
Main avenue where the brick building
owned and occuplrd by Mrs. Hannah
Schoen Juts out In a pecular manner.
Yet a resolution directing the cost,
etc. be estimated became a law some
time since.
Many times, the condition of the flag
stones doing duty on tho southerly
side of North Main avenue ban had
attonlon bi ought to them. Some sort
of official action would take place, local
sentiment lulled and thero it would
end.
While attention Is drawn to the side
walk feature, it might not be nmls
to suggest that the Hags on the eisteily
side of Jackson street from North
Hyde Park avenue to a point near the
Moiso Bottling works be brought above
the curb level. In some places tho
flago are at least six inches below
the curb level and every rain storm
forms annoying pools of water.
Midway along this section of side
walk Is a public drinking fountain for
man and beast. Such Is Its present
condition that a person passing up
or down on this side mufit walk ch-sa
to the fence or out Into the street to
avoid being sprinkled. And Instead of
having the water carried off thiough
an Inside channel, It is allowed to es
cape by overflow. Thus the curb and
sidewalk flags and asphalt is destroyed
and a damp, muddy spot caused. The
fountain is a necessity and has been
there for years, but a few hours work
under the proper authority could have
the annoying featues eliminated.
On Robinson street, at a point where
Lonergan court comes Into It, Is a set
tling in tho block pave which will some
day or night be tho source of on acci
dent, nnd a consequent suit of dama
ges against the city. The settling is
liable to being mode much wonse as
it is just opposite the sewer basin at
the street and alley Intersection and
the water has an evading tendency.
It Is said that "an ounce of preven
tion Is worth a pound of cure."
DBIVEIt HKIUOUSLY INJURED.
Joseph McDonough, a driver employ
ed In the Jit. Pleasant mines, was ad
mitted to the West Side hospital yes
terday afternoon fiufferlng from severe
injuries received while at work yes
terday. His head is literally covered
with cuts, some of which are ugly ones.
Thirty-four stitches were required to
close the worst ones. His face and
neck nio cut and scratched and his
hhoulder and back are one mass of
bruloes. His wounds were dressed by
tho staff physicians and he is doing
nicely.
The nccldent happened in a rather
peculiar manner and McDonough's es
cape from death Is almost wonderful,
He was riding on the front bumper of
the font car or a trip, when the
"breeching" mule of his team sudden
ly kicked up. The animal's hoof
caught him on the right knee and
threw him from the trip. He plunged
forward and the trip bounced him help
lessly between the cars and rib. He
resides with his parents at 140 South
Bromley avenue.

on Jackson street, near the Scranton
Dairy company's branch milk depot.
As It Is, he has a cut about two Inches
long In the scalp on the back of his
head and numerous bruises, v
It la not known Just how It hap
pened, but several lads Including young
Jones were playing near one of the
horses attached to a milk wagon. The
horse reared and In some manner tho
lad got mixed up with the horse's front
feet. Miss Schoen, who resides nearby,
go., him out from under the horne and
probably saved him from further Injury.
Day Patrolman Evans took the injured
lad Into Musgrave's pharmacy, corner
of Main avenue nnd Jacktton street,
and had his wounds dressed. He then

frightened to ciy.
SOMEONE'S PRACTICAL JOKE.
When David Phillips, the driver em
ployed by Piotheroe and company, gto.
cers. went to the barn in Edward's
court yesterday morning, an Indescrib
able sight met his eyes. Now several
young fellows ate resting under sua
piston. The wheels on the delivery
wagon were changed about. Tho har
ness was rearranged In a confused
state. The horses were reversed In
their stalls. And everything that was
possible to complete a chaoa seemed
to have been done by the party or
parties concerned.
It took several hours of hard work
to straighten things out and delivery
of orders for yesterday were conse
quently Just' that much behind. If
any one wants to confess, Phillips will
entertain them thoroughly, he says.
ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.
Marcy Jenkins, the young daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Jenkins, of North

These nightly sessions of the youths
are not as orderly as a prayer meet
ing and very often more boisterous
than an old fashioned Democratic
county convention, The constant re
quests of Mr. Ruddv to the boys to
Keep order have availed not the least
good.
Last night when tho noise was at
white heat the Irate saloonkeeper
ruhed out of his place and pre-emp-torlly
commanded tho crowd to dis
perse. Johnny Caldwell told Ruddy to
move to a warmer climate. Ruddy
cuffed the lad, and Caldwell went into
tho road, taking a large cobble and
hurled It through a plate glaia win
dow, landing on the bar Inside. Two
men standing there narrowly escaped
being struck. Tho noise of the crash
drew a large crowd. The police were
sent for and the gatheilng was dis
persed. Ruddy atnted he will have Caldwell
arrested today. Caldwell says the
same about Ruddy.
