RUN OVER AND KILLED.
Unknown Man Meets Instant Death
on the D. & H. Tracks,
A man whoso Identity could not be
learned was killed by n Delaware und
Hudson train near tho Olyphant depot
yesterday morning. The train was
southbound and reached Scranton tit
8.40 o'clock. At Tins-ley's crossing tho
man wns noticed by Engineer Wllllum
Bingham. Ho blew tho whistle and re
duced the speed of the train, but tho
stranger paid no heed to tho warning
signal.
Engineer Bingham says the man sank
between the rails when tho engine was
but a rod awas. This action Indicated
to him that tho man was overcome
with fear or some nhysjcal weakness.
The engine and front part of the train
passja over tho body, fevering the head
nnd frightfully mangling the form Into
an nlmost unrecognizable phape.
Notification was Bent to Coroner
Bongstreet, who will impanel a Jury
and Investigate tho case today.

TODAY'S FOOT BALL GAME.
Both Teams Aro In the Pink of Con
dition. The largest crowd that has ever wit
nessed a foot ball game In northeastern
Pennsylvania will In all probability
throng Athletic park this nftcrnoon to
witness the game between the St.
Thomas' college eleven, of this cits-,
and tho Wllkos-Burro till college teum
for the championship of northeastern
Pennsylvania.
The development of the St. Thomas
team has been along the line of the
most advanced and scientific style of
plus. Perfect team work has been the
object of Its every effoit and ambition
mil the result of these efforts and nm
billors Is u unison of play, a directness
of cttack and a coherence of the pluy
"Ts in defense that leaves but little
to lo desired.
The team is light, but what It lacks
in weight Is more than compensated
for bs' skill and sand. Here are the
statistics giving the age, weight and
positions of the St. Thomas players:

Th j Wllkcs-Darrc; eleven will com
prise some of the most famous players
In tho country, several of whom have
won fame heretofore on a Scranton
gridiron as members of victorious Wy
oming Seminary elevens. It will be
captained by that star quarter back
and brilliant little general, Dick Cien
dall. It will out-weigh St. Thomas by
a big margin and Its players are much
older than tho college lads. It is
scarcely possible, however, that Its
team work will come anywhere near
leaching tho perfection which will bo
shown by St. Thomas' eleven.
Doth teams aro In tho pink of condi
tion and a clean, fnst game, full of
trick plays and sensational runs is
probable. The game wll begin nt :i
o'clock sharp. Tho field will be roped
from end to end nnd no one will bo
allowed to stand between tho grand
stand and the gridiron. This will in
sure a good view of tho players to ev
ery spectator. A number of policemen
will see that the Held of play Is kept
clear.

Mr. Holland, of the Kindergarten
Association, Extended tho Thanks
of That Organ.zatlon from the
Stage of the Lyceum.
Tho production 01 "Tho Gondoliers"
has gone into history and been record
ed ns one of the most successful pro

As an operatic production "Tho Gon
doliers" was a pronounced success.
A mntlnee vna given In the afternoon
when a fair sized audience was pres
ent and last night but few vacant seats
were to be found in tho house. Tho
performance was marked by great
dash nnd spirit and tho participants
were frequently compelled to respond
to encores. Mr. .Sanderson's solo In
the first act called forth four encores
and tho beautiful Cachuchn dance had
to bo repented several times before
the nndlenee would be satisfied.
After the first act thete was a loud
and clamorous demand for tho ap
pearance of Henry Dixey, thu man who
supervised the production of the opera.
In tesponse to the calls Mr. Dlxey and
his wife, who assisted him in his
labors, and Professor Pennington ap
peared before tho curtain and Were
given a warm "hand."
A speech was demunded of Mr. Dlxcy
but he contended himself with bowing
his thanks and retired. A. D. Holland,
president of the Free Kindergarten as
sociation. In the name of that organiz
ation grace-fulls thanked those who
participated In the uffalr for what they
did for that Institution.

GONDOLIER NOTES.
Kenneth AVelles and Douglas Torrey
were clever little pages who added
to the dlgnltS" of tho ducal procession.
II. P. Simpson, who worked liule
fatlgably for the success of the opera,
Is eminently pleased with the results
llnancinlly.
Fred Emeiich hns added much to tho
rendition of the opera with his excel
lent voice and more than ordinary abil
ities In the line of comedy.
Tho cachueha was danced with the
finest effect of the week. The lighting
was perfection.
Miss Spencer's dancing In the tlrst
net attracted much enthusiastic ap
Plaube. For an amntuer she Is excep
tionally frco from self-consciousness.
Tho woik of tho chorus has been
surpassed by few professional compan
ies that appeared here.

A BLACK COW DID IT.
Jumped In Front of a D. & H. Train
and Caused a Wreck.
A Jet-black com suddenly darted out
from the shadow of tho retaining wall,

ing the track sent the car crushing
against tho wall.
At about tho same Instant that tho
collision occurred the nlr brakes wcro
sot and the only damage that resulted
was n crushing in of the upper corner
of the rear cope of the car. The Jolting,
crash and sudden stoppage caused
much consternation among the passen

when It was seen that nothing serious
had happened.

could not bo uncoupled and this ne
cessitated making up a now train nt
Green Ridge to take the passengers on
their Journe.v. A wrecking crew from

SCHOOL PUPILS
GENEROUS GIFT
TONS OF THEIR THANKSGIVING
PROVISIONS DISTRIBUTED.
Superintendent Howell's Request for
Staple Food Aitlcles Mot with n
Eosponso That Was Overwhelm
ingTwo Big Storerooms Jammed
Full of Good Things Which Will
Bo Distributed Among the Poor
Families of Scranton Soldiers.
Brother Francis Is in Charge.
Every pupil In the public school who
gave ever so omnll a Thanltsglvlng
offering In responso to tho request of
Superintendent Howell, would have
been filled with as much wonder ns Joy
If ho or she could have seen tho mnny
wugon loads of provisions gathered at
the distributing point yesterdns. The
whole of one vacunt store room and
part of another across tho alley from
tho board of trado building on Linden
street wero packed so full of eatables
that it wus with difficulty that one
could walk about there.
The goods are being distributed
ntuong the families of soldiers In tho
Thirteenth regiment, families too poor
to buy anything like a plentiful
Thanksgiving spread, but deserving,
neverthelew.
PLENTIFUL SUPPLY.
Tho giving Is according to a custom
of beverul vears In the public schools.
Superintendent Howell has encouraged
It and in so doing has received many
scores of expressions of approval from
people generally In all parts of the cits.
This year It was announced that the
provisions would bo for the families of
aaldlers. But tho quantity of goods re
ceived Is so great that tho sixty fam
ilies who have been receiving aid from
the Relief association could not begin
to consume tho tood things In three
meals, so after these families are well
supplied the distribution will bo con
tinued among other deserving poor.
WORK OF DISTRIBUTION.
Brother Francis, relief agent for tho
Soldiers' Relief association, Is directing
the work. Ho la thoroughly familiar
not only wth the beneficiaries of the
association, but knows ns much, if not
more, than any one person In Scranton
concerning the needs of Its poor people
generalls.
Tho school children were Instructed
to bring their offerings to tho school
buildings on Tuesduy. Tho great ma
jority brought but one article, cither
a cabbage, or a turnip, a squash, a
package of canned goods and the like.
But in every school building a wugon
load of eatables was thUH obtained.
During Tuesdas afternoon and yes
terday three teams wero busy hauling
the supplies from the school houses to
the distributing depot on Linden street.
The articles finally gathered there and
the work was not finished until Inst
evening comprised about even non
perishable food substantial found on a
hotel table. There wero huge piles of
cabbage, potatoes, turnips, onions,
squashes and other vegetables, canned
goods, pickled goods In fact, every
thing. Tho two big rooms were Jammed
so full of good things that tho place
had the appearance of a large and newly-opened
market and store whore It
had been impossible to set things In
order.
WAS NO CONFUSING.
There was no real confusion, how
ever. Brother Francis hud three men
Indoors and three men and as many
teams outside to help him. Tags bear
ing tho uddresses of families to be sup
plied had been written In advance and
arranged In groups corresponding to
store delivery sections for all parts of
the cltv. A half-dozen or more tags
were clven out for each wagon loud
nnd as many sets of supplies, each set
containing a liberal variety of things,
accompanied tho tags and were hurried
out for delivers.
The work of distribution began yes
terdus afternoon, was continued Into
the evening and will occupy all of this
morning. It is estimated that forty
wagon loads will bo delivered.
TRIBUTE TO REV. DR. HARD.
Paid to Him by the Zion Herald of
a Recent Issue.
The Sion Herald, in its report of the
annual meeting of the Church Exten
sion Society of tho Methodist Episco
pal church, says:
"One Is Impressed, while observing
the proceedings of tho annual sessions
of this soclets, that It Is btlng con
served by a very competent manage
ment. The three secretaries, Drs. Ky
nett, Spencer and Hard, make a great
host, grandly complementing each
other. Dr. Kynett Is the Judge, finan
cier, statesman, the man of the com
prehensive, open eye, who takes In the
whole case and decides Judiciously and
safelv. It Is believed, so long as he is
at tho helm, that the Important Inter
ests of this society can never suffer.
"Dr. Spencer is the man for the peo
ple, the 'Great Heart' of tho secretariat,
the man who goes up and down the
land rousing the church to tho privi
leges of consecrated offering for this
great cause. Ho Is equally at homo
and happy and successful In conduct
ing a revival service, and to him church
extension means the spread of the spir
itual conquests of our Lord.
"Dr. Hard is a combination of much
that is boat In his two colleagues. He
has proved himself Indispensable to the
cause which ho represents. Untiring
and indefutlgable, ho never spares him
self, and everywhere that ho goes ho
links himself In closest bonds with tho
churches and Ills brethren in tho min
istry. God bless this noble trinity!"
Tho article Is adorned by an excellent
picture of Dr. Manley S. Hard, who
was formerly presiding older of this
district.
