The "Wllkes-Barro chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution was asked by the government some time ngo to recommend nurses for army hospitals. They made a canvass among the grad uates of the AVllkes-Barre Nurses' Training school and found three will ing to undertake this service. These were Miss Belle Gross, daughter of Mrs, Mary Lewis Gross, of North street, and a graduate of last June; Miss Abbott nnd Miss Bertels, nil grad uates of the Wllkes-Barro City hospital Training school. All three were rec ommended, and Tuesday came a tele gram from the surgeon general's of fice ordering the first on the list, Miss Gross to be at Fort Myor by Thursday of this week. Should Miss Abbott be needed, she will be ordered very likely from Chlckamauga, where she Is now tendlng C. A. Durant's Fon, Arthur. Miss Bertels Is also likely to be called upon. The nurses from here will wear the uniform of the Wllkes-Barro hos pital nurses. The Daughters will furn ish the apron, which, it Is understood, Is to bear the Insignia, embroidered, of the Daughters of the Revolution. Their transportation and pay Is undertaken by the government. Dr. Anita McGee, of Washington, Is In charge of this branch of the work, acting ns Inter mediary between the government and the various chapters of tho Daughters. Charles F. Hogeman Is placing In St. Stephen's church, Wllkes-nnrre, two handsome memorial windows In mem ory of Oliver Burr Hlllard (died Juno 9, 1891.) and John W. Conyngham nnd Ruth Ann Butler Conyngham, says tho Wllkes-Barro Times. Each of the windows Is fifteen feet high nnd four feet seven Inches high and came from the house of Charles Booth, New York city. On the Hlllard window Is Inscribed "Follow Me," and It bears a picture of Matthew seated at the receipt of cus toms by the seaside, and In the Act of following the Saviour, who passes and bids him to do so. The Conyngham window represents the shepherds' ad oration and It Is a beautiful one. The window bears tho representations of Jesus, the Blessed Virgin and Joseph nnd threo shepherds.

Lord, of 'Shamokin, secretary of the recently formed Anthracite As sociation, nnd who was in Scranton Tuesday, Is In receipt of a letter from tho Navy Department In Washlnton, In answer to his communication rela tive to the use of anthracite coal In tho navy. It says that the bureau Is opposed to tho design of boilers for the use of an thracite fuel for many practical nnd strategic reasons, which may be brief ly stated as follows: First, the low rnte of combustion of anthracite coal with natural draft, thus Involving greater weight and .space for boilers to glvo the wrae power. Second, practical Impossibility to secure anthracite coal except on our own Atlantic coast, so that bituminous coal would have to be used elsewhere. Third, the greater length of time required to change tho condition of the fires from slow to rapid production of steam with an thracite than with bituminous coal, a great strategic disadvantage. NEW COLLEGE OF MUSIC. Prof. Hayden Evans Preparing Open One Sept. I. Another college of music Is to to bo opened in this city. In all probability the new college will be in running or der on or about September 1. Several rooms have secured in the Keystone building on Spruce street, opposite tho court house and are being prepared for the work of the college. Prof. Hayden Kvans, of West Scran ton, Is the promoter of the new col lege nnd is very busy arralnging for the opening. Prof. Kvans will have personal charge of the piano and or gan department nnd will have associa ted with him Dr. D. J. J.

The engagement of other prominent teachers Is now pending nnd on tho day of the opening a full corps of in structors will have been engaged. One special feature of the work will be the popular classes for children. WANT A SEPARATE SYSTEM. Susquehanna & Western Desires Trunk Line Membership. An effort Is being made to have tho New Y'ork, Susquehanna and Western ndmltted to membership In the Trunk Line association, Tho proposition was offered and personally pressed by Pres ident Thomas, of the Erie, who is also president of tho New York, Susquehan na & Western, nt the meeting of the association last week nnd It was dis cussed for an hour without definite action being taken. Tho recent ofllclal announcement that the Susquehanna although owned by the Krle would bo operated separ ately, had been made more prominent by tho proposition to enter It into the Trunk Line association as a distinct and Independent property, Tho fact that the Susquehanna enjoys certain fnrllltles over the Erie, It Is said to bo tho reason for tho present step, but It Is hardly nn adequate explanation.

Wns Conscious Until Just Before Death Cnmo nnd Gavo Farting In structions to His Family Had Been Presiding1 Elder of Threo Districts and Enjoyed Distinction ns a Five-Term Representative to the General Conference Funeral Will bo Held on Monday. Hov. John Q. Eckman died last even ing at his homo In this city. A vast circle of frlerds will be deeply grieved to learn thld news. Tho sad Intelli gence wns repeated over tho clly soon after his death, but throughout tho wide extent of the Wyoming Methodist conference there are thousands to whom the news will come ns a grent shock today, ns so brief has been hU Illness that until It wns nnnounced in Tho Tribune Tuesday morning', scarce ly a half dozen acquaintances knew that he wns Indisposed. Dr. Kckmnn's fatal illness began scarcely more than u week ngo as he with his wife was Journeying to w !; ,. Jv&TCtVjU jrX usmm m?m: WMS m i.-J ' St 'V tt' ;'f '; .' 7 rrj. i n. 3 , j. ji wurtm m.?z$.vm .?& i -r iir5Ci RKV. JOHN G. KCKMAN. D. D. Englesmcro where they had expected to attend the Chautauqua assembly. So violent was the attack, which prov ed to bo an affection of the heart that Mrs. Eckman hastened to arrange for their home coming. Dr. Erkman became rapidly worse after reaching this city and the threo physicians In attendance soon saw there was but slight hope of his recov ery. Yesterday, for tho first time, his family realized that the end was in evitably near, ns with his loved ones about his bed, tho sufferer calmly gave minute directions concerning his plnns for those who were to stay behind, and of his own placid assurance of the world beyond, close to whose gates ho paused. At half past live o'clock, a-i the rain ceased briefly for the sunset glory to begin, he met the silent mes senger with the same quiet dignity and unflinching fortitude that had charac terized his life through all Its years. Dr. Eckman was born nt Sunbury Northumberland county, PennsyUa nla, In 1S2G. Had ho lived until Octo ber ho would have numbered his sixty-second biithdny. A man of splen did physique and excellent health, one might have believed that ho would live twenty years more, so vigorous in body wns he. so unabated In intellec tual powers. PROMINENT PASTORATES. He early married Miss Margaret Hlle, of Northumberland, and entered the ministry in 1SGD, where ho swiftly came to the front as a man of ability and strong character. In the course of hU pastorate be served some of the most prominent churches of tho Wy oming conference, nmnng them Adams avenue, now Elm Park, of Scranton. lie became presiding elder of the Che nango district In 1873, since which time ho has held the fame important posi tion in both the Blnghnmton and AVy- omitig districts. At the time of his death he was completing thp final year of onico In tho latter district. Dr. Eckman enjoyed tho distinction of representing this conference as del egate at five of the general conferences of tho Methodist Episcopal church, v-hlch service those familiar with the workings of this great denomination reallzo Is a sisrnal honor for one cler gyman from a conference ns prominent us Wyoming. During the many years of active and useful ministry his faithful, unswerv ing response to his lofty Ideal of duty was a marked feature. He was never a man to speak against his convic tions, which were unmistakable In their outlines. Strong and self-contained in character, his distinguished personal appearance seemed to have a fitting counterpart In his nobility of soul. Dig nified of mien reserved In nature, he wns modest and unassertive as to his own achievements and attainments. If a man reticent in expression of self-consideration could be said to pos sess pride in any personal relation, It wns In his clerical career so nobly rounded to what has proved to bo Its completion. In this he was certainly pardonable In every sense, for his in fluence and personal work in his sphere havo been powerful in the lifting of ministerial standards. WIFE AND FOUR SONS. Dr. Eckman leaves his devoted and grief-stricken wife to the love of their four sons. Of these, Rev. Dr. George V. Eckman, tho brilliant pastor of St. Paul's church, New York, Is perhaps most widely known. The others nre: Phil. N. Eckman, M. D., a rising phys ician, of Philadelphia; Samuel W., a prominent business man, of Blnghnm ton, and Horace M recently of Phil adelphia, whose ability as an organist and t'omposer has received much de served recognition. Dr. Eckman possibly hastened his death with work and anxiety concern ing the Wyoming camp meeting, which ndded to the other arduous duties de volving upon the presiding elder of this largo district, was often excessively burdensome. Tho camp ground nnd the annual services thero were objects of his unending solicitude, and this year ho hnd spent more fhnn the cus tomary thought nnd care upon tho spir itual and moral effect of this work. Tho funeral will take place on Mon day. Thero Is a strong sentiment among tho clergymen In his district that tho services bo held In Elm Park church, whero tho many who would pay their lost respects to tho dead, may congregate. Whether tho family will yield to this natural desire of tho many friends of the deceased Is not yet announced. ifiP-v MXUT ir i' n rj7- zt wg$ffl. wBMn ypgr HEARINO IN CARB0NDALE.

BURGLARS AT RENDHAM. Stewart Parsonage Entered Intrud er Frightened Off. Burglars were operating at Rend ham early yesterday morning but so far as reported they made no haul. About 1 o'clock the family of Rev. J. L. Race, occupying the Stewart Mem orial parsonage, heard a noise In the house like the falling of dishes, but paid no attention to It at the time. Later Mrs. Race heard a noise In tho front yard and saw a man there. She asked what he wanted and he replied, "a drink of water," at the same time jumping over the fence and running down the street. A neighbor also saw the fellow nnd fired two shots nt him, but without effect. Later threo men In a rickety wagon with one horse drove down the street, the men nctlng ns though they were drunk. It was undoubtedly an organized gang of thieves. One man tended the horse, and one stood watch, while the third was In the parsonage. It was not learned until the men had driven nway that the parsonage had really been entered. A window was opened nnd there was other evidences that the man had been In the dining room. Evidently he wns frightened off by tho noise of tho dishes he had disturbed. Nothing wns taken from tho house. The visitor was lucky In getting away so easily ns Rev. Race's son, W. F. Race, motorman for the Scranton rail way company was home nnd had a loaded revolver ready for service. SAME OLD FLIM-FLAM. North End Clerk was Worked by the Usual Process. Yesterday afternoon a well-known gambler and shark, well dressed and carrying with him a large supply of nerve, walked Into the store of C. II. Crossman, In the North End, and or dered a package of tobacco. Upon re ceiving tho tobacco he handed in pay ment a ten-dollar bill. When the clerk handed him $9.95 In change ho remarked that It was rather bulky nnd that If tho clerk would re turn him the ten-dollnr bill he would give him a two-dollar bill Instead. The clerk acquiesced and changed the two dollar bill. With tho $1.95 and $9.93 tho man walked out of the store. In a short while after his departure tho clerk discovered his mistake and Imme diately started In pursuit. The clerk found the man and a com panion in a Throop hotel, whero they were playing the same game. Tho money was returned and no arrest was made. NO MORE BATHING. North End Residents Complain of River Swimming. One of the few bathing spots avail able within the city limits will prob ably be denied to the men and boys who have made use of it ever since Scranton existed. The spot Is on the river near the Driving Park and Is known as "Brighton Place." A number of new dwellings have re cently been erected In that vicinity and tho occupants of several of them have complained of tho bathers to tho police. Chief Gurrell dislikes tho duty of Interfering with tho swimmers In one of the few pools left to them In thla city, but ns the occupants of tho houses have objected, the bathing will bo stopped. In Police Court. In police court yesterday morning, cases were disposed of as follows by Mayor BaUey: Annie Rooney, drunk enness, $3 or 30 days; Hazle Wood, drunkenness, $5; John Howley nnd John Miller, vagrancy, 30 days; Henry Woodruff, of Wllkes-Harre, drunken ness, discharged; Mrs. Healey, drunk enness, $3; Timothy Cavanaugh and John Simons, drunkenness, $5 and $3.

About S1,000 Has Already Been Expended and Seventy-flve Fam ilies Have Been Helped. A big box containing all kinds of ar ticles and supplies to .gladden the hearts of sick soldiers of the Thir teenth will be shipped this morning to Camp Alger. The box wns packed yes terday in tho offlce of Secretary D. B. Atherton, of the soldiers relief asso ciation, In tho board of trade rooms, but enogh space was left In tho box to contain the few parcels that will be received this morning. The goods received were nearly all of the kind suggested by Surgeon Kel ler In his recent letter and calculated for use In the hospitals. There were night gowns, lemons, papamas, towels, bandages, lemon juice, concoctions for making cooling drinks, Jellies, Juices, reading matter, etc. And In addition there were articles for use by the boys who are well. These supplies In cluded pipes, tobacco, writing mater ial, "housewife" kits of pins, needles, thread, etc., bibles, underclothing and the like. Following nro the names of tho con trbutors: Mrs. T.

WORK AT THE FRONT. While this is the first work of the kind that the association has under taken It proposes to keep actively In touch with the front and supply the boys needs whatever those needs may be. It Is believed that much good can be accomplished In this direction particularly In the event of the regi ment being ordered way on garrison duty. In that case It Is the opinion that a box at regular intervals nnd containing only articles of practical value to tho soldiers will not only glvo them things needed but will fur nish a connecting link between them nnd their friends and relatives at home. Up to tho present time the assocl tlon has expended about $1,000 among 73 families and for current and other expenses. There remnlnt" available about $1,000 in cash and uncollected subscriptions. Persons whose money Is a part of the relief fund could get an immense amount of satisfaction In Investigating the purposes to which the money has been put. Information of this kind may be obtained at the office of the association on the eighth floor of tho Board of Trade building. The regular meeting of tho associa tion will bo held this afternoon. The secretary's office will be closed tomor row and Saturday. Secretary Atherton has ,not yet re ceived from Major Parke, surgeon, the draft contnlnlng the remittances given him by the soldiers for their families nt home. Several receipts given by Major Parke have been presented for collection however. It is expected the money will reach hero by Monday. Sinking of tho Morrimac. The Pain Flro Works company, tho foremost pyrotechnists of tho world, have created a wonderful fire picture, reproduction of the "Sinking of the Merrlmac," reproduced from photo graphs and from descriptions furn ished by Hobson, the gallant actor of this naval daram.
