THIS AND THAT.
pr. R. W. Chldsey, of South Scran
ton, Who recently Joined tho govern
ment's force of army surgeons, has
'written a letter to Dr. C. H. Fisher, of
this city. The letter Is dated "On board
the United States transport Grand
Duchess, Charleston, S. C, July 18,
189S," and is as follows:' "We have
been detained here owing to the fall
of Santiago. I had orders to report
there to General Shatter, hut it looks
now as though I might go to Porto
Rico. I went out with the ambulance
corps along with General Ernst's bri
gade on a trial maich this morning.
The sun was very hot and we had
about thirty cases of sunstroke. There
are also a great many cases of typhoid
among the troops. The sun here Is boil
ing hot. This is one of the fittest
transports owned by the government.
Ve have bath tub, electric lights and
state' rooms with regular sized beds In
them. We are capable of steaming 22
knots an hour if not too heavily laden,
t'haileston is full of soldiers nnd they
all want to go to tho front nnd fight.
My health has been excellent. I enjoy
this life very much nnd the pay is
good. I believe I would rather go out
to fight the Spaniards than to doctor
the wounded. Hut ns I am a surgeon
I have gone as one. We have a good
Jolly crowd on board. The officers are
from all parts of the country and are
detailed on this and that mission. We
have a slgnnl and an engineer corps
with us. This, is all for this time. We
expect to leave hete nny day."
No one topic was discussed yester
day by a gt eater number of persons
than the death of the ordinance giving
a franchise to the Lackawanna Tele
phone company. That the ordinance
Is dead beyond resurrection for the re
mainder of this fiscal vear seems cer
tain. No fisht in the history of the
city, was canlrd on with so much vigor
and determination as this and a his
tory in detail of the campaign would
make a story of unrivalled Interest.
The opinion of the Supreme court In
the Joseph Jermyn case gives tho board
of revision and appeals the power to
direct the city assessor to make a
change In nn assessment between tho
periods ot a triennial assessment. This
powjjr Intelligently and faltly exer
cised ought to be of considerable ad
vantage to the city.
Chief Hlckey, of the city fire depart
ment, etui ned yesterday from a short
visit nt Lake Henry. His stay at the
fchores of the lake benefitted him great
ly, He Is In cood condition to nssume
the active duties of his ofilce, which he
will do Monday morning.

ratification.
Three of the female teachers have
entered the bonds of matrimony dur
ing vacation. Their resignations have
not been placed In the comrnltteo'H
hands, nnd consequently these three
weic hired with the rest.
At the oponlng of the term It may
be found that tho attendance shall not
wnttant enitloying any teachers In the
stead of thcbo three. The puplW they
taught will be apportioned to the oth
er teachers ot their respective build

ton high,
A recommendation v. Ill be mdc also
to require the teachers to sign yearly
conttacts. Mr. Francois was asked
v hat tho meaning of the contract
buslnss Is. He said that the law re
quires teachety to f,lgn conttarH, nnd
the board wants to do business ac
coidlng to law. That's all there Is to
It. he ta1d.
Nothing was done toward nn In
crease in the teachers' salaried. It
may be taken for granfpd that noth
ing will be this term. at. least nothing

QUAINT, CURIOUS
AND NEW VOLUMES
JAMES MURRAY DEWEY'S COL
LECTION OF BOOKS.
Ho Has Them on view In Ono of
tho Store Rooms of the Board of
Trade Building Books Are All
Arranged in a Methodical Manner
That Makes It Easy for the Book
Lover to Find Just What Ho
Wants Some Old Volumes.
To the general public ot Scranton
and vicinity it perhaps Is not fully
known thnt outside of the larger cities
of the country that In this section of
the state there Is but ono complete
store devoted exclusively to the sale
of books and books alone. Mr. Jnmes
Murray Dewey has recently removed
to his handsome new quarters In the
eastern store room on the ground iloor
of the Hoard of Trade building. Mr.
Dewey has devoted many years of con
stant study to bibliography. No man
In the land Is In position higher than
Mr. Dewey In this purjlculur line. He
Is n touch with all the great book
mnrkts of Europe and America.
And whnt a variety of books In prices,
binding, subjects, sizes nnd editions!
He has books rnnglng In price from 23
cents to $300 a volume, on every sub
ject from fiction to philosophy, nnd
bindings ftom cloth to ttee calf nnd
the finest morocco. He has books
printed the current year and books
printed from the first types mnde by
Gutenberg In Mentz, nearly 430 years
ago. He has books from a CI mo to a
folio, from a vest pocket size to single
volumes large enough to tire a man to
carry. "
The stock Is so methodically arranged
on the shelves that If you are Inter
ested In n particular subject you can
find nil tho works In stock on that sub
ject ot a glance. Works in philosophy
occupy one tier of shelves, books on
science nnother, theological works nnd
works on comparative religions, an
other; poetry, the drama, general lit
erature, essays, history, travels, fic
tion, and works of nrt each subject
has its especial location on Mr. Dewey's
shelves.
STOCK OF ART WORKS.
He has an especially fine stock of art
wot Its, containing teproductlons of the
most celebrated paintings In the world.
His fine Illustrated editions of works
In general literature with steel nnd
copper plates or rare wood engravings
by noted engravers are beautiful be
yond description. Among the Illus
trated works Is a set of Goethe in the
original Germnn, and a handsome edi
tion of Ovid's Metamorphoses In the
original Latin with n French trans
lation on opposite pages.
While Mr. Dewey's stock Is marked
by some of the finest specimens of the
perfection of the arts of binding, print
ing and engraving of these latter days
of tho perfection of the useful arts, yet
he has a few rare old works that &how
by contrast the advancement In the art
of book making.
Ho has a folio Rlblo printed in 1477.
It Is the Latin Vulgate, or St. Jetome's
Latin translation of the Scriptures,
which also was the first work ever
printed from type. It wus printed Just
forty years before the Reformation,
nine years after tho death of Guten
berg, 'the Inventor of pilntlng, nnd
twenty-seven years after the first book
was ever printed from type in Europe.
This was pi Inted six years before
Luther was born. The work Is beauti
fully ornamented with elaborately
wrought Initials, all tho exquisite han
diwork of monks who were certainly
artists in this difficult art of Initial
Illustration.
Mr. Dewey has also a copy of one of
tho earliest editions of Luther's Ger
man translation of the Bible. It was
printed In 153S, twelve years after
Luther's death, and It Is a quaint and
Interesting volume.
AN OLD VOLUME.
Another old volume Is a folio copy of
the very first edition of the King James
Version of the Bible, commonly called
the Authorized Version. It, of course,
bears the date of 1611, being a copy of
the original first edition of the Protes
tant English translation of the Bible
most In use.
There are works also that have been
In the libraries of famous men. There
Is one neat set of 12 mo. books bound
In tree calf from the library of the
late Henry Ward needier and each
volume of the set benrs the autograph
of the celebrated pulpit orator.
However, the most surprising fea
tures of all are the prices at which the
books are offered. There Is scarcely a
book that Is not to be had here from
!0 to 75 per cent, of the publisher's
price, and editions difficult to obtain
he can get at auction prices.
IN THE SAME CONDITION.
Otto Mayer Has Not Recovered Con
sciousness. Otto Mayer, whose unconscious con
dition has been noted from day to day
since his accident a week last night,
was still in that condition at midnight
at the Lackawanna hospital. At 9
o'clock last night he had been uncon
scious seven dnys and seven nights.
Mr. Mayer Is the only brother of Mrs.
W. T. Hackett. nnd he Is a son of Mrs.
Amanda Mayer, of Monroe aenue. He
was married recently.
The hospital doctors will give no
opinion as to his chances for recovery.

SKELLY COMES TO TOWN.
Has Arrived to Complete Arrange
ments for the Judge-Case Bout.
The 20-round boxing event at Music
hull on Tuesday evening, August 2,
between Jim Judge, of this city, and
llck- Case, of Utah, will be the best
ever given under the American Sport
ing club, no Slanager Jjck Skelly
states. Mr. Skelly arrived In town yes
terday from nrooklyn to complete the
arrangements for the event.
Case's record proves him a great
boxer In the 145 pound class. Out of
forty battles he lost but ono and that
was to Hobby Dobbs. Mr. Skelly
thinks the bout will end before the
tenth round. Case Is on the Kid
Lavlgne style of boxers, and never
takes a rest until he puts his man out.
He Is training nt College Point with
Mysterious Billy Smith nnd Tommy
Ryan. The latter had two 20-round
bouta with Judge and knows his tac
tics. Judge Is In hard training nnd goes
out for a morning Jog along tho Elm
hurst boulevard before sunrise. He Is
punching tho bag at a private gym
nasium in the city, and boxes every
day for practice.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
They Will Bo Held Today and Con
vention Meets Tuesday.
"We will have primaries tomorrow
nnd a convention Tuesday." said Col
onel F. J. Fitzslinmons, chairman ot
tho Democratic county committee, yes
terday, "and that's about all there is
to he said. No, we have no slate;
Democrats, you know, are opposed to
that sort of thine. We believe In the
good old fashion of getting the repre
sentatives of the members ot the par
ty together nnd then nominating the
men that inspiration or clrcumstnnce
may favor. That's the rational meth
od and Democrats are nothing If not
rational."
Continuing Mr. Fitzslmmons said he
did not think there would be nny ex
citing contests for delegates today.
The weather Is too warm and as can
didates are not clamoring for nomina
tions, delegates have not, been set up
in the interest of nnv man or set of
men. Those who -eek election today
nre actuated solely by n desire to serve
their party.
Front present Indications Judge Gun
eter will be rc-nomlnntcd without op
position. Attorney D. J. Reedy has
been mentioned for congress but has
given no Indication that he Is desirous
of hecurlnjr the nomination. The same
is true of AV. A. Wilcox who Is spoken
of In connection with tho nomination
for state senntor. Several physicians
are mentioned In connection with the
coronershlp and A. B. Dunning, Jr.,
can have the nomination for county
surveyor If he desires It.
FRARRO IS AT LIBERTY.
Ho is the Man Who Tried to Kill
Contractor Timothy Burke Only
Slightly Wounded Him.
Antonio Frarro was released yester
day from the penitentiary after servi
tude since April 21, 1894. This Is tho
man who shot at Timothy Burke nt tha
corner of Washington avenue and
Spruce btro3t as the well known con
tractor was boarding a Green Ridge
street car. It was at G o'clock In the
evening as crowds of people were hur
rying hither and thither on their way
home. The car was crowded and Mr.
Burke was standing on the rear plat
form. Before that Frarro had been to
Mr. Burke's office in the Burr building
looking for work. The shooting was
moie than an hour after that.
Two shots were fired. One struck
Mr. Burke In the right hand and in
flicted only a slight wound. The oth
er bullet struck the late Humphrey
Bradley, who was s-tandlng next to Mr.
Burke, on thi hip and flattened against
a leather pocket ase. It first went
through a heavy overcoat. Mr. Brad
ley did not know he acted as a target
until he got home and after supper
changed his hhoes for his slippers. The
bullet dropped cut of his right shoe.
He made an examination of his cloth
ing and discovered that he owed his
escape from .accident to some silver
in the pocket book.
Frarro was tried and convicted be
fote Judge Archbald, who sentenced
him to five years and six months.
JUMPED OFF BACKWARD.
John Mazavich, of Prlceburg, Was
Badly Injured.
A Prlcebtirg Polander who fell head
first from a Providence car on Wyom
ing avenue In front of the Coal Ex
change at at 9.30 o'clock last night,
attracted a curious surging crowd of
five cr six hundred persons and no
end of excitement was caused for a
time. The man's name Is John Maz
cavlch. He came up Center street from Penn
avenue and walked to the street car
tracks. A Piovidence open car came
along and he signaled It. The motor
man slowed up. and Mezcavlch got on
the rear seat. He asked the conductor
If the car was going to Prlceburg.
The conductor said no, and off he
jumred. The car was going at the
usual rate along that portion of tho
avenue.
He Jumped off backwards. His heels
no sooner landed on the pavement than
they were up In the air again, and his
head struck one of the rails. A T
shaped gash, each branch of which
was an Inch long, was cut through to
the skull. He remained unconscious
for nearly a half hour.
The Lackawanna amlmlance was
called. When he was flxfd up by Dr.
Webb the skull was found to he unin
jured. He recovered consciousness at
the hospital.
THE RULING PASSION.
Henry Riker Steals a Horse and Car
riage After Serving Thirty Days.
Henry Rlker Is a thief beyond doubt.
Thirty days ago he was brought be
fore the court for trial on the charge
ot stealing Horse Dealer Patrick Wald
rc.n's white overcoat, and he confessed
his guilt. Judge Edwards tent him up
far thirty days.
His term was up yesterday and as
soon as he got down town he untied
a horse hitched In front 6t the Dela
ware and Hudson station on Lacka
w.'.nnu avenue, drove up Center street,
and Invited two young women of that
section for a drive. He wanted them
to go to West Pittston. but they
wouldn't. He drove toward Olyphant,
and teturned In two hours. The last
heard from him was when the women
left the carriage on the Linden street
bridge. He told them he wes going
to Pittston.
The owner of the outfit Is Albert
Wicks, of 307 North Hyde Park ave
nue. He complained at the Center
street police station to Patrolman
Keeie Jones. Mr. Jones made Inquir
ies In the alley and found out who the
two girls were who were with him.
lllker was traced to Old Forge. Chief
liOftiis, of Pittston, was notified by
telephone. Ho said he knows Rlker
well, knows him for a fine horte blan
ket. YOUNG BURKE WEAKER.
Loss of His Leg Liable to Result in
His Death.
John Burke, the 9-year-old son of M.
J, Burke, of the Eureka House, was so
weak from the loss of blood and the
shock resulting from the loss of his leg
that the doctors at the hospital have
no strong hopes for htm.
He was delirious most of yesterday
and kept saylhs -hfs 'prayers continuously.
NEW AND MODERN
COAL BREAKER
JUST BEEN COMPLETED BY D. &
H. CO. AT OLYPHANT.
Was Erected to Replace No. 2,
Which Was Destroyed by Pire.
New Structure Has a Capacity of
Two Thousand Tons for Every Ten
Hour Day Some of tho New Ideas
That Find a Place in the Structure.
Set of Conveyors Carry Coal to the
Breaker.
Olyphant's "main support," as tho
breaker which was used to prepare toe
market the coal mined at Olyphant
shaft, No. 2, has come to be called,
when lefcrence Is made to It from an
employment standpoint, Is ngaln In
operation. Wednesday morning last
under the direction of Division Super
intendent J. L. Athcrton nnd Outside
Foreman John Mooney. the machinery
was started nnd coal Is being prepared.
The breaker put Into operation Is
owned nnd opprated by the Dela
ware and Hudson company but Is not,
however, the rame one which was first
used to take coal from Olyphant shaft
No. 2. It Is In fact, the third of ltd
kind and In keeping with the strides
of modern Improvements, Is one of tho
nest equipped structures of the kind In
the coal regions. Moreover, there nre
one or two features which are not
found In any other breaker hereabouts.
Throughout the whole building aro
little Ideas Incorporated by the men
employed by the company which of
cour.se can not ba found elsewhere.
Much credit Is due the several men In
charge as a consequence.
The new breaker stands on n larga
plot of ground directly opposite the
alto of its predecessor, and across the
river. It Is thus about half a mile
from the shaft. More stornge and
track room Is thus gained. It Is 120
fvet wide by 130 long over all and
the coal Is brought to It by a narrow
gauge railway running from the shaft
over the river. The coal is carried up
Into the head house by means of an
elevator, one ot the distinctive fea
tures. CARRIED BY CONVEYORS.
The, coal Is dumped from the cars by
an automatic tipple into a largo hopper-shaped
bin. The conveyor runs be
neath the mouth of this bin and car
ries the coal a distance of about 200
feet up Into the breaker. Here It goes
directly onto the bars and Is fed into
the breaker. The conveyor, or ele
vator, Is a Monobar style but double
linked In this case, owing to the lift
and capacity required. That the
breaker has a capacity of 2,000 tons
per ten-hour day, and the elevator can
furnish more coal than that, gives one
an Idea of Its work.
The feature of this conveyor Is that
the breaker Is fed steadily an$ thor
oughly and more quickly. There are
two such elevators In operation at the
Boston, at Plymouth, and Baltimore,
No. 2, at Wllkes-Barre, both owned
and operated by the Delaware and
Hudson company. Neither are, how
ever, on the same scale or capacity as
the one at Olyphant.
Proceeding from the bars where the
coal Is elevated and dumped on, one
comes to another special feature. All
of the small coal runs through Inter-
slces Into a pocket and thus goes direct
to the "mud" screens. In the old way
everything big and small went Into
the rolls and very often the rolls be
came clogged. Now they are practic
ally free to work only large sizes.
LOADING POCKETS.
All down through the body of the
breaker, here and there, are such ideas.
After passing all the route of the coal
in course of preparation, one comes to
the loading pockets. Here Is an ar
rangement which In all probability ex
ists in no other breaker today. The
loading pockets are double and there
are two sets of loading tracks. In
other words, cars can be loaded from
the front and back of any pocket at
the same time.
The breaker's capacity Is 2,000 tons
dally, 10 hours to the day. It prepares
all sizes, from the bird's-eye to lump or
big coal. Its cost will be about $80,000
or more. The other breaker employs
several hundred hands, but it Is possi
ble that fewer will be employed at
the new one, though its capacity Is 500
tons greater.
A ehort review of "Olyphant"
breaker and the many incidents con
nected might not be amiss here. Early
in the spring of 1897, Olyphant, No.
2 breaker, as It was called, was torn

After five months, this new breaker,
also called Olyphant No. 2, and built
nearly on the same site was completed
at a cost ot about $76,000 with' a capa
city of 1,500 tons and employing about
