THIS AND THAT.
Of the few popular and accessible
country resorts near Scranton. Lake
Ariel has probably been the most gen
erously patronized by private and fam
ily parties during the recent hot
weather. For pome time vacant rooms,
at either the Lake House or Hotel
I'lnes, have been the exception rather
than the rule. The latter establish
ment, managed under the personal di
rection of Charles H. Schadt nnd his
assistant, A. J. Duffy, has become the
social headquarters at the lake for
those who do not occupy cottages
there.
There was a progressive euchre party,
arranged by the ladles at the hotel,
Tuesday night. Mrs. Dr. Hoxsle, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.. nnd Mrs. M. E. Mc
Donald, of Scranton, respectively, won
the first and second ladies' prizes, and
Mr. John Mccormick, of Brooklyn, N.
Y., and Mr. H. W. Custer, of Kaston.
the gentlemen's prizes. On the follow
ing night and Saturday night tho
usual semi-weekly dances for the hotel
guests and cottagers were given In the
big pavilion on tho picnic grounds.
The music was by Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
Conrad and P. H. Widmayer, of
Scranton. On Thursday night Mrs.
Joseph C. O'Brien gave a brief and In
formal vocal recital which delightfully
entertained an appreciative gathering
at the Hotel Pines.

Hhe In the dnuKhtcr of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel It. Ilvcuc, of North Hyde Park
avenue,
Patrolman Perry arrested William
nryant, Maine Christian and Edward
Detcmpfo on tho grounds of tho Home
for the Friendless yesterday nfternoon.
They hart escaped from tho Hillside
homo, wh;r? they were confined for
unruUnosst while In the Homo for tho
Frloudlei's. Tho hoys were botween
30 nnd 1.' yenra of ago. They had
been bIiico tli?lr Infancy In tho latter
Institution, but became unmanageable
nnd wrro sent to Hillside homo to bo
disciplined. Faturday word was tele
phoned to Scranton police headquar
ters to bo on tho lookout for tho lads.
T'loy hnd tnkun French leave. Yes
terday they were discovered In the
yard of their first home. The police
ware notlllcd nnd Patrolman Perry was
Kent after thrm.
Tho omnibus from the Hlltatdc horn"
came after them and they worn taken
back with tears felling fast and out
wardly protecting against returning to
the poor farm. It was evidently their
Intention to heek re-admlttance to the
Friendless Institution. They were
very penitent whon put under arrest
and promised faithfully to be better
boys if taken bncic ns membetH of tho
Homo fot tho Friendless fold.
A party of twelve or fifteen small
boys returning from Nay Aug Park
created considerable disturbance last
evening about 6.30 on their way down
Mulberry stret. Arming themselves
with sticks purloined from n lumber
pile along the way, they proceeded to
bent tattooes on the fence." and make
a terrific racket. The disturbance, how
ever, consisted largely In their leaping
Into front yards and turning on all the
water faucets as they went.
As It was about tea tlme.thclr pranks
were not discovered In time for per
sonal chastisement, but there was a
row of bare-headed nnd Irate residents
visible most nt the distance from Clay
to Jefferson avenue engaged In turning
off the water that was generally Hood
ing the pavements. Tho ugility of the
gamins precluded a chase, but as the
latter reached the vicinity of tho city
hall suddenly the silence became pain
ful and their vociferation was changed
to breathless flight as a' blue-coat ap
peared leisurely from the court. Such
a gnncral scattering caused much
amusement to the spectators.
Nathan I). Moyer, of Rethlehcm, an
engineer employed on the Rath divis
ion of the Central railroad, has had
several experiences within the past few
days which show of what kind of stuff
men are madn. The other afternoon,
while going along tho road at a lively
rate, between Bangor Junction and the
Bangor Superior quart y, ho noticed an
object lying on the track between tho
rails. He quickly applied the brakes
and by uMng every effort succeeded 1n
bringing tho train to a standstill with
in a few feet of the object. Itunnlng
ahead It was found that tho object on
the rails was a five-year-old boy fast
asleep. On Saturday last by a similar
effort ho stopped his train In time to
save an old woman nnd a girl who
were driving over the tracks.
