quarters of this division are at Carbon

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. Stoutlnger, general
road foreman, Mayfleld; P. H. Mlnchell,

bareback riding of Scout, the dog, Is
the most wonderful feature of the en
tertainment. TO BUILD ICE HOUSE.

SEVERE WIND STORM.
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.

DEAF MUTES HOLD
CONVENTION HERE
NEARLY TWO HUNDRED OE
THEM ARE IN THE CITY.

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.

BUSINESS OF THE DAY.
Tho c6nventlon Is being held In the

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. Tho Janitor
was appealed to, and with the turning
on of the electric lights the speechmak
ing was resumed.

ENGINE LEFT THE TRACK.
Scranton Excursionists Delayed Go
ing to Harvey's Lake.
A narrow escape from a railroad
accident occurred yesterday on the"
branch of the Lehigh Valley road
that runs from Wllkes-Barre to Har
vey's lake. Pulling a train of nine
cars filled with Scranton people go
ing to Harvey's lake under the aus
pices of the Scranton Athletic club,
were two engines on tho valley road.
The front engine jumped the track
going up tho steep grade a mile above
Trucksvllle, near Dallas. Fortunate
ly the link connecting the tenglncs
broke when the Jump was made. Tho
engine dashed along tho ties of tho
track for one hundred feet tearing
away several of them.
A delay of two hours was caused by
the accident, the excursionists
reaching their destination at noon.
About fifteen feet back from where
tho engine left the track is a bridge.
Und the connecting link of the en
gines not parted the result might havo
been serious.
