Major Simon B. Cameron, of Mari

The same office was to have been per
formed with Company B, but the or
ganization lacked the required number
of men and will be mustered In Inter,
Thirty-one of the whole number of

Ulce, of Lebanon.
The company elected James O. Dlm
mlck, contain; Edwin Gee, first lieu
tenant, and George Wirth, Jr., second
lieutenant. Captain Dlmmlck Is the ex
commander of Compuny A of the pres
ent Thirteenth. He volunteered at Mt.

OVERCOME BY THE HEAT.
For a Time Patrolman Parry Was in
a Serious Condition.
Patrolman David Parry, of North
Hyde Park avenue, Is very ill at his
home as a result of being overcome by
heat last Wednesday afternoon while
on duty. He became blek and was re
lieved, though at the time ho and his
friends only thought It temporary. He
waB removed to his residence.
Since that time ho has ieen In the
constant care of Dr. Ueynolns, the fam
ily physician, and during Thursday and
Thursday night his condition was se
rious. Yesterday he was much Im
proved and it Is expected will soon be
able to return to his duties.
BOULEVARD TO BEAR CREEK.
Inspected by Albert Lewis, R. P.
Crellin and E. J. Goodwin.
"Albert Lewis, of Bear Creek: R. P.
Crellin, of White Haven, and E. J.
Goodwin, ot Scranton, comprised a
party which today enjoyed a drive ov
er tho new Yatesville boulevard, com
ing to Plttston In one of Mr. Lewis'
fine tournouts and taking dinner at
the Eagle hotel," says the Plttston Ga
gette. "They were loud in praise of the
excellence of the new road nnd the
Nervous Exhaustion
Horsford's Acid Phosphate
Is supremely bonoflclal.
Shun Subititulet. - Put up only In bottles,
beauties of the route. Mr. Lewis has
been greatly Interested In the project
and his men have done the work. With
a change made nt the Yntesvllle term
inus today tho work Is complete. This
change consisted In opening ft new
short line through a beautiful grove, to
secure an easier grade and to avoid
danger from the railway, which runs
Just nbovc the old line.
The permanent western entrance to
the boulevard Is but a few hundred
yprdii distant from the Delawnro and
Hudson station nt Yatesville. Tho road
Is now open to the public, nnd as soon
as Its beauties become known to Pltts
ton people It will doubtless be liber
ally patronized. Connecting with the
Wllkos-Barre boulevurd, It gives to our
people a splendid driveway from
Yatesville to Bear Creek. At the lat
ter place Is a beautiful picnic ground,
provided with kitchen, dancing plat
form, swings, etc."
"Mr. Lewis Is very anxious to see
the public road between Yates
ville and this city placed In bet
ter shape In order to attract patronage
to tho boulevard. He says that the
road could be placed In excellent con
dition in a few day at an expense of
not more than J300, nnd thinks tho
money could easily be rnlsed by n pop
ular subscription among local livery
men nnd other owners of horses who
would be benefited by tho Improve
ment. One thing necessary to make
the road perfect Is nn overhead bridge
nt the Delaware and Hudson crossing,
Mr. Lewis says tha,t tho plnn Is en
t'rely feasible and that only a few feet
cf masonry would be required."
WILL CLOSE ON SUNDAY.
Employing Barbers of This City
Have Organized and Are Pro
pared to Take Action.
After this thero will be no more
Sunday shaving In Scranton barber
shops, but Just how long that new or
der wilt continue remains to bo seen.
This Is not the result of a moral cru
sade. The Journeymen barbers object
to Sunday work, and tho shop owners
are not aching for It. Some who have
kept open Sundays have done so not
for tho profit, but because they thought
tho next man had a right to be closed,
nnd If ho was goins to be open so
would Ihev.
But the movement has assumed a
phase now that assures closed thops
after tomorrow. Four or five weeks
ago some of the shop owners gol to
gether to see If they could not enlist
all the barbers of the city lnto the
Idea of dosing at 12 o'clock Saturday
night nnd keeping closed until S o'clock
Monday morning.
A meeting was held nt Music hall
and an organization was formed by the
selection of Thomas Speleher as chair
man, Fred Dlmler as secretary, and
Charles Falkowsky as treasurer. At
this meeting the attendance was not
larse, and adjournment was made for
two weeks before taking definite ac
tion. At the second meeting nearly
all of the shop owners were present or
represented and there wns a general
sentiment in favor of closing up Sat
urday nights and leaving the blinds
undrawn to let every passer-by see the
shop was ldle.
W. F. O'Bi'len presented his case.
lie s-ald that It Is absolutely neces
bary for the accommodation of the men
who arrive In town on Sunday morn
ing trains and register at the Jormyn
that his shop be kept open. The oth
ers were In favor of permitting Mr.
O'Brien to shave these wayfarers In n
private roonn of the hotel, but not in
his shop. Mr. O'lirien said for his own
part he would be very happy to enjoy
n day of ivst on Sunday, but the
traveling public nnd the hotel had to
be considered
They are In favor of making a rea
sonable concession to him to cover
such cases as he cited. A meeting will
be held Monday night and definite
action will be taken. The barbers
who have kept open on Sunday say
they have not made any money out of
It compatcd to their Inconvenience
from the loss of enjoyment of Sab
bath rest.
As they are almost a unit on clos
ing, a binding agreement will be drawn
up for all to s.gn Monday night, and a
steering committee will be appointed
to Invoke tho aid of the Sunduy blue
law to punish any one breaking the
agreement.
BLUFF WOULDN'T WORK.
Blind Applicant for Relief Possessed
Some Money.
A blind man tried a game of bluff
yesterday with Mrs. Duggan, the As
sociated Charities agent, and came out
second best.
He said he was Thomas Mclntyre
and resided In Syracuse, when he ap
plied for help yesterday. He was well
dressed and was piloted by a young
boy. He wanted transportation to
Sytacuse.
The Associated Charities agent told
him that Inasmuch as he had a little
money, was well and strong and had
a quantity of pencils left for sale, that
ho could earn his own way. She said
aid would not be denied him If ho were
In need, Mclntyre resented this dis
position of his case. He dismissed the
boy who was leading him and seated
himself with the expressed purpose of
camplnsr out In the agent's oillce until
her heart softened or until she changed
her mind.
When 5 o'clock came the blind appli
cant for aid was still seated in the
office. When told It was time to close
the place, he requested the services of
a new boy and was piloted to the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western depot,
wh'ero he purchased a ticket for Syra
cuse. Among Mclntyre's possessions
was a permit signed by Mayor James
K, McGulre, of Syracuse, granting per
mission to "Sleepy Tom" to sell lead
pencils on the streets of that city.
Whllo In the Associated Charities
office Mclntyre was several times of
fered the privileges of the Hillside
Home, but he said he wouldn't go to
the poor house without being carried
there.
SPRING BROOK FARMER.
He Begins to Paint the Town and
Gets Arrested.
Scott Rodner. a Spring Brook farmer,
Is In the city hall police station await
ing a hearing this morning on the
churge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. He was arrested at noon yes
terday In Price's store on Washington
avenue.
Rodner reached the city early In the
morning with a load of vegetables. He
sold the produco and proceeded to get
drunk and spend his money. He land
ed In Price's store while on his rounds
and refused to leave the place. A
policeman was called and Rodner was
arrested.
ANTHRACITE PRICES
HAVE GONE UPWARD
LACKAWANNA'S EXAMPLE ' IS
FOLLOWED BY OTHERS.
All But One Have Put the Chicago
Price at 80.25 A Promise to Main
tain It Tho Outlook Better Re
striction of tho Output for August
Is Receiving a Good Deal of At
tention Conference of Coal Presi
dents Was an Informal Affair.
"The anthracite coal situation at last
shows signs of Improvement," Is the
comment of yesterday's New York
Commercial Advertiser. "Yesterdny
the Lehigh advanced Its price In Chi
cago to meet the raise made by the
Lackawanna on Monday, and this fore
noon It was announced that all the
large Interests, except one, had taken
the same action and had set the price
fixed by the Lackawanna, $5.25 per ton
In Chicago. The exception is the Cox
& Co. corporation, and they are ex
pected to follow later the action of all
the other large producers.
"The new conditions suggest. If they
Ldo not mark, a decided Improvement.
some two weeks ago me opinion was
common among the large operators
that If one large producer would ad
vance the price the others would fol
low and that the demoralization of the
Western market would be cleared up.
The Lackawanna apparently held the
same view, for its advance on Mon
day of this week was a radical one of
$1 a ton. Now that the other Interests
have taken the same action, It remains
to be been what the result wilt be: but
the consensus of opinion Is that It
must be good.
"The key to the situation was In the
lack of confidence on the part of buy
ers, who could not mnkc up their
minds that the lowest price had been
reached. Those who hesitated will now
have the privilege of paying tho In
creased price, for there Is little doubt
among coal men that the price will bo
maintained.
"The conference of presidents of the
coal roads, held this week, which it
has been said was without result, was
an Informal meeting held for the pur
pose of exchanging views, and was not
expected to result In any formal revo
lutions. That it did do some good Is
apparent In the general advance which
has taken place.
"The question of restricting the pro
duction of hard coal In August was
also under discussion at the meeting,
but no conclusion was reached. The
production in August, 1897, was about
4.000.000 tons; next month. It is said,
It will be about the same, ranging from
3,500,000 to 4,000,000."
BRIDGE COMPANIES AT WAR. -
They Have Disagreed Over a Divi
sion of the Receipts.
"From tomorrow on the people of
Plttston and West Plttston will have
two wars to occupy their attention, one
national and one local, yet of consid
erable Interest," said last evening's
Plttston Gazette. "The two local river
bridge companies are at odds over the
division of the pooled receipts. An ar
mistice Is on until noon tomorrow, but
the directors of both conmanles de
clare that no agreement will be
reached and that hereafter each com
pany will resulate Its own business,
which practically means war.
"The facts of the case, briefly, are as
follows: For the past seventeen years
the bridge companies have pooled their
receipts, the Water Street Bridge com
pany receiving B22 per cent, of the
total and the Ferry Bridge company
47', per cent. The Water Street Bridge
company now demands 62 per cent.,
but tho Ferry Bridge company will
concede only 54 per cent. Hence the
disagreement which promises to last
for some time."
MOONLIGHT EXCURSION.
Number of Young People Had an
Enjoyable Time at Lake Ariel.
About 150 couple of Scranton's repre
sentative young people attended the
"moonlight" excursion which was run
over to Lake Ariel last evening. The
affair was arranged by three ex-members
of the Elite Dancing class, of West
Scranton, and nothing was left un
done that would lend comfort and en
joyment on the trip.
Lawrence's full orchestra provided
music there and back and at the dance
pavilion, which was brilliantly Illum
inated for the occasion. Refreshments
were also served. The party returned
to the city at 12.30 o'clock. Those who
attended reported It as one of the most

TROLLEY WORK STOPPED.
(
Main Avenuo Double Track Meets
with Objections.
Street Commissioner O'Boyle yester
day ordered the Scranton Railway
company to stop work on South Main
uvenue, between Washburn nnd Jack
son streets, where operations have been
In progress for some time preparatory
tr. the laying of a double track. On
July 1 the company obtained a per
mit "to relay tracks on South Main
avenue with tho necessary
switch: also to relay the "Y" at Jack
son street and Main avenue."
Property owners objected to the
double track: and to temporarily delay
the work pointed out that tho permit
was signed by only tho street com
missioner and lacked tho mayor's nec
essary signature, and was misleading
In Its phraseology, merely providing
for "relaying" and not for double
tracks."
Mayor Bailey, Street Commissioner
O'Boyle and City Engineer Phillips vis
ited the scene of the work yesterday
afternoon. By direction of the mayor,
the street commissioner ordered oper
ations stopped until the rights of the
company to lay a double track could
be determined.
HIS MONEY AND RING GOiw.
Hostler McKune, of Cusick's Livery
Suffers from Absent Minded Act.
Daniel McKune, a hostler In Cu
sick's livery stable, took his pocket
book out and placed It on the wash
stand while he used some soap and
water on his face. He left the room
temporarily, and came back to find
tho pocket book gone. It contained.
$27 tn cash and a gold ring valued at
$10.
He lo at a loss to know whom to
suspect for the theft. He is also at a
lors to know what possessed him to
take his valuables out of his pocket
nnd place them on the washstand
While he was arranging his toilet.
ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Alleged Brass Thief Is in the Cus
tody of the Police.
Peter Kaub, the last of a trio charged
with stealing babbit metal and brass
from the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company, wns arrested last night by
Patrolmen Feenoy and Jones.
Kaub was found nt bis home In Belle
vue, and was locked In the city hall
police station to await a hearing this
morning. Tho complaint against him
was made by George Okell, agent for
tho company.
TAKEN TO SEPARATE HOSPITAL
Husband Goes to the Moses Taylor
and Wife to tho Lackawanna.
Mr. and Mrs. James Moore, of Breck
street, were removed from their home
to separate hospitals yesterday, Mrs.
Moore going to the Lackawanna and
Mr. Moore to the Moses Taylor.
Mrs. Moore has been sick for a long
time, and he became sick a few weeks
ago. They have no family. That Is
the reason they preferred to go to the
hospitals for treatment.
SOME UNUSUAL TITLES.
Names of a Few Books Which Have
Not Been Copyrighted.
The Journalist, who had Just written
a delightful little brochure entitled
"The Liberty of the Press; or, How
to Knock the Props. From Under the
Archimedean Lever That Moves the
World," was calling on Mr. Young at
the library to get it copyrighted, Mr.
Young gracefully referred him to a
clerk In that department, and as tho
clerk was getting tho paper ready he
was making himself interesting by
talking.
"Yes, sir," he was saying, "I rather
Open
Ifdlyld
think you have hit upon a sood title for
your book. Of course some people
won't know what the dickens I beg
your pardon what on earth it means,
but that don't mako any difference to
you. They are stupid people who
wouldn't buy It anyhow. Still there's
a good deal In a title. Of course I
don't mean tho kind our rich girls love
to marry," and the clerk chuckled, "but
titles of books. You understand. I
Just made a list I came across today.
They are from different sources. Here's
a few that funny fellow Tom Hood
gave to tho Duke of Devonshire to go
on some dummy books for an entrance
door to his library: "McAdam's Views
In Rhodes,' 'Boyle on Steam Designs
for Frlosees.by an arctic explorer.' 'PyK
mallon, by Lord Bacon,' 'Cursory Re
marks on Swearing, by Jupiter,' 'Percy
Vere, In forty volumes,' 'Cook's speci
mens of tho Sandwich Tongue,' 'On
Sore Throat und the Migration of tho
Swallow,' 'Kosciusko on the Right of
Foles to Stick Up for Themselves,'
'Lamb's Recollections of Suctt,' 'Chron
ological Account ot the Data Palm' and
several others.
"Then thero were some old volumes
of the time of Cromwell, which had
title? llko these: 'Crumbs of Comfort
for tho Chickens of tho Covenant,"
'High-Heel Shoes for Dwarfs in IIoll
ness,' 'Hooks nnd Eyes for Believers'
Breeches,' 'The Spiritual Mustard Pot
to Mnko the Soul Sneeze with Devo

Shattered About Their Ears That Idly

Volley of Holy Shot Thundered From
Mount Helicon,' 'A Poem Against tht
Use of Tobacco, by Joshua Sylvester,'
'Tho Snuffers of Divine Love,' "Seven
Sobs of n Sorrowful Soul for Sin,' and
some more of the same sort. Added
to these are n few scattering ones like
these: 'Waves of Sound and the High
C 'A Jawey Forever, by nn Active
Prize Fighter,' 'A Rich American, or
tho Earl's Choice," and so on through
a list of odd ones."
The clerk handed the Journalist a.
folded paper.
"Thunk you," ald the Journalist.
"Fifty cents, please. Anything more
today?" smiled tho clerk, and the In
cident was closed. Washington Star.
