The annual clam bake of this division is a notable event in railroad circles and never falls to attract a largo crowd. The bake yesterday was In charge of Professor Ward Edwards, of New York, and seven skillful assistants Results obtained demonstrate that they are artists In their special line of work. The bake was unqualifiedly approved by every person who partook of It. Some Idea of the number of persons who dined with the railroad men may be obtained from the fact that In the bank where the baking was done were 40,000 clams, BOO pounds of blue fish, D00 pounds of chicken, 2,M) ears of corn and four barrels of sweet potatoes. There were other attractions besides the bake, too. Many found enjoyment In boating on the lake, while others Bought the pavllllon where delightful music was discoursed for the dancers, A heavy shower late In tho afternoon somewhat marred the pleasure of the day. Among the well-known railroad men who attended the bake were the fol lowing from the New York, Ontario nnd Western railroad: G. W. West, superintendent of motive power, nfter whom the entertaining division was named C. H, Hopkins, superintendent of the southern division; W. C. Hartl gan, superintendent ot tho northern division; General Road Foreman Mor gan, of Norwich, nnd his assistant, W. Dalley; George O'Neill, road foreman. Mlddletown; F. a.

It Heralded Yesterday's Heavy Downpour of Rain Some of the Damage That Was Done. A view of yesterday's storm from the top floors of the Mears, Board of Trade, Traders' bank and other high buildings was grand. The direction of the wind was from east by northeast to west by southwest. It blew up suddenly and without more than about two minutes' warning, although for sometime there had been indications of rnln. Many a flag and awning was stripped from its fastening after the first fury of the storm was felt. Buildings shook and trembled In the violence ot the gale and within a minute the hill sec tion of the city was almost obscured In a sea of whirling dirt nnd coal dust which had Increased in volume as It began Its progress across the valley from west to east. From a helghth tho streets nnd ave nues In nil directions seemed to be turned for the time Into whirling streams of grime and dirt. The leaden colored sky above and the dust beneath turned the day Into almost night within a moment's time. In but few offices could ordinary busi ness be continued without artificial light. Before the crashing peals of thunder were heard in the city nnd while the gale was at Its helghth tho ridge of the mountains on thq west were con stantly showing n frill of vivid flashes of lightning. Thunder nnd lightning followed In the wake of the wind nnd made a heavy cannonade and a fiery picture as they went eastward. George Farber's house in Pcters bmg, and the Pennsylvania Coal com pany's office nt No. 6. were struck by bolts, but no serious damage resulted In either case. During the storm yesterday nfter noon a largo tree fell upon an outward hound Peckvlllo car. crushing In tho front cope and narrowly missing tho motorman. He saw the tree falling nnd stopping his car as oucklv ns nos- slble, Jumped inside the car Just in time to escape being caught. The proprietors ot the trained animal show located on Ash street, became nlarmed nt the high wind nnd ftarlng a collapse of tho tent, stopped the show nnd got the spectators out. The show men had a hard fight for nearly an houi to keep their canvas on earth. The members of tho Bar will please notice that the f uncial of J. C. linge will be held at 2 p m.

Nearly two hundred deaf mutes from all over Pennsylvania nro In the city in attendance upon the thirteenth con vention of the Pennsylvania Associa tion for the Advancement of tho Deaf. In addition to tho ordlnnry purposes that the nume of tho organization sug gests, tho association has for one of Its chief alms tho establishment of a home for the aged, blind and Infirm deaf. Nearly $4,000 has been collected for the erection of n building, and It Is likely that the present convention will appoint a committee to secure n site. The home will be located either In Scranton, Easton or Wllllamsport. There arc 6,000 deaf In tho state of Pennsylvania. The most of them are self supporting, but there arc many who have had to sock maintenance In poor houses. Their lot Is a sad one, cut off ns they virtually are from com munion with their fellow beings, and to lighten their burden It Is proposed to furnish them with a home of their own where they can commingle nnd com mune nnd feel that they are not public paupers.

The sessions were con ducted yesterday. The formal opening nddress by President Koehler, tho en rolling of delegates, the reading of the minutes of the Philadelphia convention of Inst year and Informal discussions of the main projects the association has on hand comprised the business of the morning nnd nfternoon sessions. The organization of subordinate so cieties throughout the state; the estab lishment of the home for Indigent deaf and the duty of sending teachers to Alaska to Instruct the many deaf mutes of that country were the main topics discussed. President Koehler, Treasur er Allnbaugh and Professor F. L. Sel mey, editor of the Deaf Mute's Regis ter, of Borne, N. Y., were the princi pal speakers. Yesterday's sessions be ing but preliminary, no action was taken further than to appoint a com mittee on resolutions consisting of Messrs. Selmey, Allnbaugh and Hutch inson. In tho evening a public session was lnld. Mayor Bailey was expected to be present to welcome the visitors, but business of a pressing nature made It impossible for him to attend. The first nddress was by President J M. Koehler. It was delivered In signs by the Rev. J. M. Koehler and translated into oral language by Mr. Walker, sentence by sentence. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. Fellow Members and Friends: In greet ing you at this, our thirteenth convention, I would call uttci tlon to the fact that It Is tho second time wo have gathered In this city. Twelve years ago almost to tha day, and In this same room wo held tho third meeting In what was then the ln funcy of our organization. Well do wo recall tho cordial reception uccorded us. The then mayor, Colonel Ezra 11. Ripple, In receiving us apologized tor the appear ance of tho city, saying that It was In ro condition for such a welcome as he would have liked to extend us. "Our streets nro all torn up," he f.ald, "And wo are In tho condition of a houso undergoing the an nual cleaning process. When next you como hero I trust we shall bo able to ex tend a more hearty welcome to you," Wo note that the "houso cleaning" has been thorough and tho Improvements such as to do grent credit to the energy and en terprise of a city malked by Its natural nnd architectural features with capabil ities of much beauty and attractiveness. Tho history of our organization In tho twelve years that have Intervened slnco our former meeting hero In ISSfl has been ono of continual progress. Meeting at first trlcrnlally and then biennially, wo now come together annually and the re sults of these more frequent meetings have been most wholesome nnd beneficial, not only to im as a scclcty but to our selves us Individuals. THIRTEENTH CONVENTION. This Is tho thirteenth convention since tho Inception of tho society at Hurrls burg in l&Sl. Slnco then three meetings have been held In Philadelphia, two at Reading, two nt Scranton, and one each at Pittsburg, Harrlsburg, Allcntown, Wll llamsport and Erie. Theso meetings havo all been well attended bringing together as many as four hundred of our people Lt ono tlmo and there Is no longer any doutit as to thcli' advisability. There aro 1,000 deaf mutes In Pennsylvania, tho ma jority of whom aro educated und self sus taining. They havo naturally many In terests In common and these meetings present evident opportunities of exchang ing thoughts for mutual good. Some of tha principal works accom plished by our association were the es tablishment of tho educational and In dustrial school ut Mt. Airy, where sev enteen branches of trade aro taught; the participation in the erection of tho Gal laudet statue nt Washington for which wo subscribed J2.000, ard the beginning of tho movement for a home for the blind, aged and Infirm diaf of Pennsylvania, for which $1,000 has already been subscribed and which Is to receive a $i",000 endow ment from a gentleman In Pittsburg t.s scon as tho home Is completed. Tho accomplishments demonstrated tha piacflcal usefulness of the society and Is a record we maj well feel proud of; and It must encourago us to efforts In other directions. SCHOOL FOR DEAF. Ono subject wo might take up Is the es tablishing of another school for the deaf In tha northwestern part of tho st.ito. Thcro aro now four schools In Pennsyl unla: Mt. Airy, In Philadelphia; Edge wood, near Pittsburg; the Scranton school, and tho ono at Bala, near Phila delphia, for tho training of deaf children in speech berore they aro of school nge. The total i, umber of children constantly under Instruction is about 1,000. It will bo noted that three nre In tho extreme east and ono in tho western part of the state. Deaf children In the great central region among the mountains, where travel Is doubly difficult, must go nun. dreds of miles for an education or not go at all. Parents naturally object to sena Ing thcsB children, doubly dear becauso of their Infirmity o far away from home and as a result there aro many growing up totally ttneducuted. Many. alas, have already reached udult years In this con dulon. Within a few weeks I have met a fnmlly of four adults, not one or whom had received uny benefits of Instruction. New York with a population only u little greater than that of our own state, ha eight schools for tho deaf. Why should we not have as many? We, with our knowledge of all the facts, can speak with great weight In urging the necessity of moro liberal provision to glvo others tho blessings of education which wo our selves so highly value. Mr. Koehler also spoke on tho need of sending missionaries to educate the deaf of Alaska; of educating the blind and feeble minded deaf; of se curing statistics of deaf mutes In Pennsylvnnla.and of organizing branch societies throuch tho state. PROF. SELINEY'S ADDRESS. This was followed with a very nblc address by Prolossor' Sellney. Ho oc cupied nearly an hour In tho delivery of his nddress. Ills Is n very ener getic stylo. Little recourse Is had to the fingers, most of his Ideas being conveyed by gestures and pnntomlme. It was only when he encountered a word that did not permit of n ready Interpretation by gesture that ho used the alphabet. Laughter and hand dapping nt frequent interval lndl dcated earnest appcclatlon on tho part of his spectators Professor Is not a great admirer of tho oral school. He Illustrated his es timate of this system with a story about a Chinaman who came to New York to learn English nnd settled In the midst of a German colony. It was only when ho statted out to keep a laundry that he found how he had been fooled. He favored the combined system. A brief address by Mr. Walker, con gratulating tho association on Its suc cess closed tho evening session. A committee, consisting of R. M elgler, of Philadelphia; Thomas Breen, of Philadelphia; Dante' Pnlie, of Carlisle; Lloyd Hutchinson, ot Wllkes-B.irre, and William Hummel, of Milton, was appointed to make nominations nnd present them to tho convention this morning. This morning nt 9 o'clock special re ligious services will be conducted for the delegates at St. Luke's church. A business session will commence nt 10 o'ejock nnd at Its conclusion sight seeing trips will be the order of the day, a local committee consisting of William T. Burge, Morris N. Garbett, Michael Callahan, Thomas O'Brien and Daniel Winters having arranged to take the delegates to the mills, mines and other points of Interest. There will be a reception nt the Jermyn in the evening and tomorrow there will be an excursion to Farvlew. All the addresses In the convention are made by the sign language. The speaker takes a place on the platform where he can be seen by all and there with lightning-like movements of the fllngers, hands, arms and when he grows real eloquent whole body de livers himself of his views. For the benefit of visitors and those of tho del egates who prefer to rend the lips, tho speeches are Interpreted vocally by the celebrated expert John P, Walker, who for thirty years has been a deaf muto Instructor, and who Is now nt tho head of the industrial department of tho Mt. Airy school. The storm which broke over the city nbout 4 o'clock caused the business of the convention to come to a standstill, the darkness which accompanied it making lt Impossible for the delegates to see themselves talk.

Ward Courts of tho Central City Ground Out nn Unusual Number of Criminal Cases The Charges Were of Moro Than Ordinary Variety. Dentist Arrested on Complaint of tho Lackawanna and Luzerne As sociation Milk Bottle War is Still On. Tho nldermanlc mills ground neither little nor slowly yesterday.

Thty put up a kitchen; they have a range In It, and not a second-handed one, cither. I went down to the Lackawanna Hardware com pany this morning and they told me to help myself, und so I did, picked out one of tho best ranges with water tank on the back, all nicely nickel plated. There Is nothing small about mo when people tell mo to holp myself. There will be another 30-foot tent put up In a couple of days. Received check from John Clelland, of Qlobo warchausc, today for $3 nnd one for $3 from a gentlemnn who said not to advcrtlso his name. Now, colonel, no one has worked harder for the park than you have, and I know you nro not ashamed of It. I do not think wo havo got money enough to pay for tho tents, but they nre there Just tho some. Now, then, the park will furnish n man to keep the fire, If anyono will furnish somo coal, and a bolter with a faucet In so the peoplo can havo hot water any tlmo to make tea or coffee. Yours truly, a. E. Hill. Scranton, Pa Aug. 21. CARRIAGE WAS WRECKED. Horso from Cuslck's Livery Stablo Ran Away.
