and all of them shone to good advant
age, but the best of nil, nnd the grand
est without a shadow of it doubt, was,
the Hist fall exhibit of millinery. This
splendid room was alive fiom morning
till evening with enthusiastic shoppc-is?,
nnd the exclamations of surpiisc were
eiy frequent. Not only the immense
showing of richly tiimmed millinery,
but the elegnnco with which the entire
department was nnanged was notice,

Next in older was the upholstery
display on the second door. Dlch dta
peiles, fine curtains and rugs and an
Immense display of plctuies helped to
make a beautiful effect.

FIREMEN'S BIG
DAYjVTPITTSTON
ANNUAL PAItADE Or THE DE
PARTMENT OF THAT CI.Y.
Was a Highly Ciedltable Event Mc-
Quold Engine Company of Mid
dletown, N. Y., Were tlio Guests
of Honor Bauer's Band Wns a
1'eaturo of tho Paiado und Also
Gavo o Concert for tho Edification
of Pittaton's Citizens, Notct of
the Day.
Mid the blare nf trumpets, clash
of cymbals, ciash of drums, waving
of bunting, flags and hundkcrchlefs,
the fluttcrlnR of decorations, the cheers
and liaiiil-clnppliigh jesteiday after
noon, the one great event of the Pitts
ton lire laddies, , the annual parade,
was ushered In with great eclat. To
make a perfect setting brighter, tho
afternoon wns comfortably watm and
no marring accidents occurred to ln
terfeie. Wednesday afternoon and evening
the preparations were peifccted and
the visiting lire companies wcie re
ceived and made comfortable by their
Intended hosts. At 7 p. m a parade
was held In tills the Plttston lire
companies took part and with them
were the AlcQuolds, of Middletuwn,
the West Plttston eompaliy, nnd the
nttached and unattached wheelmen.
Flievvoiks were set oft and Illuminated
signs adorned the lino of mulch.
Daily jesteiday morning the final
details wete arratiRed for tho day's
event. The hour set for the movItiR
of the ninicheis was 2 p. in., but not
until a half bout later did they start.
Then the blowlnR of the general alnim
announced the Initial movement. Not
since the Plttston soldier boys march
ed away or marched home has such
a wildly enthusiastic tiovwl congre
gated on Main uvenuc ns did yester
day. Business of every sort wns aban
doned for the tlino being.
LIND OF MAUCII.
Formation foi the parade wus made
upon South Alain avenue, headed down,
with the ilRht testing near Water
stieet When the parade was begun
the van swung around and moved
up Alain avenue to Ferry bridge.
Thence across the bridge to West Pitts
ton, to Hlver stieet. to Patke, to Wy
oming, to Alontgnmci, to itlvcr to
Water street Thento to Hi Idge, across
to the Niagara engine company's quar
ters, where In front of this comnanv's
inch of welcome, jevlew and dismissal
occurred.
To cite individual Instances of events
that occurred along the Hue and dur
ing the li.u ade, would be Impossible.
Sufllcp it to s,i.v that it wns one giand
ovation fiom the ndmlilug thousands,
easily evoked by the geneial up-to-date
appearance of the whole department.
The visiting llretnen fiom Allddletovvn,
N. Y West Plttston, AVyoming, Luz

ed. The pnindc was divided Into two
divisions, the (list bctng led by a pla

lowing came the mayor, members of
council, nnd the Riiests of Plttston

Patterson and his assistant chiefs,
closely followed by the visiting chiefs
and their assistants. Headed by Alex

to line, followed by their hosts, tho
Daglo hose and engine company. No.

Scianton has once seen this company
and Its glory has not faded or e'en

satisfied with them from the small boy
up to the person who was too short
to see and onlj heutcl.
SDCOND DIVISION
Leading the second division was the
Albion band, who headed the Aoca
hose comiinj, No. 1. These "boj-s"
made a decided hit all around nnd
especially with their Japanese Isun

own and only Bauer's band. Those who

dance nnd reception afternoon and
evening.
THERE MAY BE A CLASH.
Boaid of Control Committees
Are
Stealing Thunder.
Theie is liable to be a clash between
the supply committee of tho boaid of
tontiol nnd the special commltteo re
cently appointed to Investigate the
question of coal supplj.
At last night's meeting of the supply
committee It was decided to lecnm
mend at the meeting ot the board Oct.
10 that coal be delivered at the school
buildings between the hours of 8.30 a
m. and 3.30 p. in., duilng which time
the principals would be In the buildings
and ablo to tecelpt for dellveiies.
As the action token by the supply
committee is one of the points being
conslllcied by the special Investigation
committee, now tardy In Its leport, It
Is Inferred that the latter will tuke ex
ception to having some of its thunder
stolen.

Jail Without Bail John Harrison,
Ten vTcirs Old, the Stepson of H.
A. Altlmus, of Vou Storch Avenue,
Was the Victim He Was on His
Wny Homo fiom School When Ho
Mot Doath.
John Hntilson. n Gieen Hldge boy,
was run over bv a wagon yesterday
afternoon and killed. The driver, A.
II. Benedict, of Gieen Otove, wus In
toxicated. He was arrested by citizens
and committed to Jail bj Alderman
Bnllcj', of the Thirteenth wind
Haitlsou was 11 yeuis old and a step
son of H. A. Altlmus, proprietor of tho
Junction hotel, 1507 Von Storch avenue,
nenrstho Delawaie und Hudson depot.
Benedict Is employed In tho geneial
stoic of his father at Gieen Grove. Al
though ery drunk, ho wns driving
when the boj was lun down. B
diet's father was also In the wa
Bene-
agon.
The father was sober.
The fatality occurred In Lchr's allej',
near the Junction of the Dickson City
boulevaid and Dast AInrket street. No.
27 school had just been dismissed and
scores of chlldten were In the vicinity.
Young Harrison and n party of other
boys were trooping along homeward
when tho wagon bore down upon them
at u rapid rate.
HF.DLING IN HIS SDAT.
Benedict was icellng In his seat, and
In nnswer to the Jeeis of u group of
hoys flicked his horses with the whip
and urged them faster along. Harri
son and his companion were In the
path of the wagon. They scattered as
It approached. The Harrison boy was
late In hearing the nlaim. His hesi
tation of a moment was fatal. Defoie
he had time to escape the wagon pole
struck him In the back of the neck und
he fell.
Benedict continued on his way, but
was halted a short distance from the
spot by Charles Williams and another
citizen. They saw that the hoy was
unconscious and detained Benedict.
The limp and senseless form of the
little fellow was carried Into Thomp
son's drug stole, on Dast AInrket
stieet, whete he died befoie a physic
ian could i each him.
Such Indignation was felt against
Benedict that his life might not have
been worth much If thcie hnd been any
delaj In taking him to Alderman
Bailey's office Attet hearing the story
of the occuirenee, the alderman com
mitted the joungei Benedict to Jail
without ball The fnther was released.
The wagon In which the Benedicts
lode was a large one of the store de
llverj' type It was loaded with goods
which the elder Benedict had bought
In Scranton for his Green Grove store.
Notification was sent to Coroner
Longstreet'.s office, but he was not In
tho city, t'nelertnker Jones then took
charge of the bodj-. It Is believed that
tho Immediate cause of death was con
cussion of the hi aln The coroner will
