THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1808.
LIGHTNING KILLS
A BOY AND HORSE
SON OF GEORGE SINOVICZ MEETS
DEATH IN THUNDER STORM.
He Was Driving Homeward tit the
Rldgo Back of Archbald, During
the Terrific Storm of Lust Evening,
When a Dolt of Xlghtnlng Killed
Him and the Horse He Was Driv
ing Storm Was One of tho Most
Terrific that Has Visited tho Upper
Valley In Years.
Lightning Instantly killed 13-ycar-old
John Slnovlcz nnd a horse that he was
driving near his homo at the Ridge,
back of Archbald, during a terrific
storm prevailing In that region early
last evening.
The boy's body was blackened In
blotches and streaks In several places,
and the horse's hide had the appear
ance of having been singed where tho
bolt made its path. The wagon was
not damaged to any extent, strange to
relate.
The unfortunate lad was a son of
George Slnovlcz, a well-known Polish
resident of the Ridge.
The storm was one of the most ter
rific that has visited that region in
years. It extended from Prlceburg to
Mayfleld and far up on the mountain
on either side of the valley.
Between "Wlnton and Archbald many
trees were blown down or felled by
lightning, and flooded streets and cel
lars were the rule rather than excep
tion In every town In the valley.
The onlv evidences of the storm felt
In this city were a high wind and
heavy fall of rain for a few minutes
Just before G o'clock.
SCRANTON CAPITAL AND OIL.
Fluid Has Been Found in Bradford
County.
Operators have struck oil In Bradford
county near Lovelton. The well is on
the valley opposite Round Top moun
tain and at the foot of Dutch moun
tain. The "Wllkes-Barre Record says
of the find:
"A company of Scranton capital
ists began operations In this territory
two years ago, since which four wells
have been drilled, and though no oil
was found, gas was struck, one well
started with a pressure of 400 has
steadily Increased, and now shows 600
pounds. This well being near the old
one, furnishes fuel for the boilers
which run the machinery for reopen
ing and further developing this aban
doned hole. The work Is carried on
under the management of B. S. Lewis,
a Scranton gentleman, who Is not only
superintendent, but Is also a director
of the company.
At a depth of 1,600 feet four days
ago a pocket of gas was struck, and
at 1,800 feet oil was found, It having
been taken out with the bailer and
thrown on the dump. When being
caught and put into a vessel, the petro
leum separated, rising to the surface,
giving indubitable evidence that it is
genuine oil. What will be the upshot
Is not positively known, but there are
prospects for a first-class gas and a
fair oil well.
"After reaching the bottom of the old
well, the hole will be further sunk, It
being the Intention of the company to
make a careful and thorough test, re
gardless of expense, finally settling the
much mooted question as to the exist
ence of an oil belt in that locality. An
Inquiry as to why It is thought that
oil exists In that locality was answered
by saying that the general Indications
of the surface convinced experts who
visited the grounds that both oil and
gas were hidden there. In confirma
tion of this belief It is said that drill
ing discloses the same rocks and sands
found In Western Pennsylvania. But
the existence of oil is already proven
as to the quantity, that has to bo
ascertained by further developments."
HONESDALE SENDS VISITORS.
Liederkranz of the Maple City Spends
a Day In This City.
The excursion of the Honesdale
Liederkranz to this city, and their pic
nic at Central Park Garden on tho
South Side, yesterday, were highly
successful affairs.
The excursion train of ten coaches
all filled, left Honesdale at 8 o'clock
and reached the city at 10.30 o'clock.
At the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company's depot the gathering was
met bv ex-Shertff Robinson and other
members of tho Scranton Liederkranz.
Headed by the Honesdale Cornet band
the visitors marched to the picnic
grounds.
There the day and evening was spent
in enjoyment. One of the features of
the day was a ball game between a
Scranton team captained by Sheriff
Robinson and a Honesdale club mas
coted by Alex. Voygt, of the latter
place. The result was in favor of the
ocranton uoys by the score of 19 to 2.
In the evening the Scranton Lieder
kranz, led by Bauer's band, and Yunger
Maennerchor, headed by a drum corps,
formed a parade and marched to Cen
tral Park. The singing societies gave
a concert, assisted by Bauer and his
band. Hon. John Kuhback, of Hones
dale, In a happy speech, welcomed the
, Scranton guests.
The visitors left for home at a little
before 10 o'clock, highly pleased with
their day's outing and the welcome
extended them by their brethren of the
Scranton Liederkranz.

CHICAGO WANTS HIM.
Police Here Asked to Arrest Morris
Eppstein, of Raymond Court.
Morris Kppsteln, of Raymond court,
was arrested last evening by Captain
Edwards and Sergeant Dieter. Tho ar
rest was made In compliance with a
request to that effect sent here by
Chief of Police P. L. Colleran, of Chi
cago, 111. Kppsteln Is now at police
headquarters. No Information was con
veyed In the telegram concerning tho
offense he Is wanted for. It was stated
that explanations wnutd be forwarded
by mall.
Kppsteln has only been homo from
Chicago about three weeks, returning
here in the latter part of July. When
questioned as to a probable reason for
his arrest being ordered from Chicago,
he said that "all he knew was that he
owed for about $60 worth of goods
there." This, of course, Is a highly
Improbable reason.
DURYEA BUILDING BURNED.
Fire Destroys a Hotel and Two
Residences.
Fire destroyed the Babylon hotel and
two residences at Upper Duryea early
yesterday morning. The buildings were
owned by John Sorber, tho hotel being
occupied by Amos Robinson and the
residences by four families of foreign
ers. The fire caused $S,000 damage,
which is covered by Insurance.
At 3 o'clock the fire was discovered
in the hotel. It was totally destroyed
with Its contents In a short time. The
families occupying the two residences
saved most of their goods, but had
very little time to spare.
Considerable effort was required to
save adjoining structures.
CONSTABLE BEAM NOT ASKED.
It Was Not He who Failed to Make
Certain Arrests.
It should be said in fairness to Con
stable Beam of Old Forge that he was
not asked to serve papers for the ar
rest of Pascere and Grleco, suspected
In connection with the mudrer of Band
master Joseph Santoro. The papers
were given, it appears through mistake
to an ex-Constable, who declined to
act without advance payment.
Mr. Beam has never shirked nny
duty. His fearless arrest of the man
Cannon at revolver's point two years
ago is remembered as an Instance of
his energy and courage In the line of
duty.

a sight that pleases and delights tho
little ones sure.

How to Economize in the Choice of
a School.
Youg people with limited means are
sometimes tempted to choose an In
ferior school in order to save a few
dollars In traveling expenses, or even
In tuition fees. Here Is sound advice
for such persons: In selecting a school
choose the best. It Is training you are
after, not putting in time. A few
weeks at a good school under live
teachers Is better than months at an
Inferior school.
Th rates at the Bloomsburg State
Normal school have been made ns low
as possible consistent with securing
thorough Instruction by specialists.
