INJURY TO BASE
OF THE BRAIN
CAUSED THE DEATH OF THOS.
J. MOOBE LAST NIGHT.
Ho Was the Manager of tho Stores
of William Connoll and Company,
and One of tho City's Most Re
spected Business Men President
of tho Scranton Axlo Works and
a Former President of tho South
Side Board of Trade A Public
Spirited Man.
Thomas J. Moore, manager of the
stores of William Connell & Co., died
at 11 o'clock last night at his home, MC
Adams avenue. The Immediate cause
of Ills death was a ruptured blood ves
sel at thu base of his brain. The rup
ture followed a fall on the Icy side
walk near his home about two weeks
ago.
Though not a man of gicat uculth,
nor one who tried to foice himself for
ward In public affairs, few will dispute
the statement that Mr. Mooto was at
much respected, nnd trusted und ad
mhed for rare personnl virtues as any
business man In Scranton. For ears
his quiet, common-sense advice and
willing and valunblo aid have been
sought Intho management of neaily
every Important movement of a semi
public character that has been brought
foi ward for the city's pood.
It wns his nature to remain in the
backgiound and on thls account he was
prominently known in only those af
fairs where the duties of his offlce3
demanded that he should be known.
To this personal desire, nlwais evi
dent, to escape thanks and credit, is
due the high esteem he enjoyed among
his fellow-men, an esteem which will
lead to piofound sorrow when this ex
cellent gentleman's death Is made
known about the city this morning.
WENT TO HIS OFFICE,
On the day that Mr. Moore sustained
the fall he complained of pain in his
head, particularly near the base of tho
skull, where it came in violent con
tact with the Ice-covered sidewalk.
However, he went to his ofllce at the
Meadow- Brook store, on Cedar avenue,
on the South Side. Ho went out tho
net day, but was found wandering In
a dazed condition about tho streets
and was brought home by the friend
who found him. Since then he did not
leave the house.
Dr. A. J, Connell attended Mr. Moote.
Ills' condition was not considered ethi
cal until yesterday, when Dr. Council
called Dr. L. M. Gates for consultation.
Their joint opinion did not alter the
previous diagnosis that there was a
ruptured small blood vessel near the
base of the bi.iln. All that tho best
medical knowledge could suggest was
employed, but the physicians were
Iiovveilews to save Mr. Moore's life and
lie died an hour before midnight.
As stoic mannger for Connell nnd
Company, Mr. Moore was entuisted
with the active management and dliect
supeilvlson of four stores. Ho had
been In the employ of the company for
nearly thirty yeais, ever since he came
to Scranton.
Mr. Moore Is survived oy a wife, for
merly Miss Margaret Mclntyre. Ho
brothers James, died about two months
ago.
SKETCH OF MR MOORE.
Mr. Moore was bom In Dublin, Ire
land, tifty-seven years ago. He was
a son of the late Thomas and Hannah
(Doy le) Moore.natlves of that city. His
father, who spent the whole of his life In
Ireland, was government tfupetinteudent
of public workanu a leading business
man. The deceased was reared in Dub
lin, w here he received a common echool
education. For a time he was employ
ed at3 a cashier for a railroad In South
Wales
Coming to Ameilca In 1S70, through
acquaintance with William Connell,
Mr. Moore was employed as a book
keeper for the Meadow Brook and Ml
nooka stores of the Connell toal com
pany. On the death of "William Cou
ncil's brother, Alexander, Mr. Moore
was promoted to the position of super
intendent of the two stores. Since then
two fitores have been added, one at
Duryea and another at Connellton,
Mr. Moore was connected with other
business enterprises. He was one of
the originators of the Scranton Axlo
works, organized March 17, 1S92, and
incorporated with a capital stock of
JlfiO.000. One year later he was chosen
president, a position ho held until now.
By Mayor John II. Fellow s Mr. Mooro
was appointed a member of the board
of paik commissioners and was its sec
retary. He was treasurer of the Sheri
dan Monument association. In the
South Scranton board ot tiade, which
he was active in organizing, he served
as its first president. He was a mem
ber of tho Heptasophs, Catholic Mutu
al Benevolent association and a past
oftlcer of the Royal Arcanum.
HIS charitable; WORK.
Perhaps Mr. Moore's line character
was as truly displayed In the boaid ot
associated charities as in any of the
many public organizations with which
he was identified. Charity is some
thing which appealed to him strongly.
Rarely did the associated charities put
in operation nny important plan or
policy without consulting the calm and
shrewd and almost invariably proper
Judgment of Mr. Moore. In such work
he was tireless and invaluable and wa3
largely associated with tho late Wil
liam T. Smith in many a charitable en
terprise of which the public knew
nothing.
Mr. Moore's personal means did not
permit him to draw heavily upon it,
but ho ungrudgingly gave his Just por
tion and distributed alms in a most
Judicious way for others moro fortu
nately ltuated. Of such deeds he was
never weary.

THREE VERY ABLE PAPERS.
Read at Last Night's Meeting of the
Nowman Magazina Club.
Thie was u very Interesting meeting
of tho Catholic lllstotlcul society and
Now man Mncnrln club In the rooms
In the Guernsey building last night.
Tin co vciy able pallets were leud by
Rv. D J. MneOoldrlck.
The llrst was n review of the Catho
lic magazines foi December. The chief
point dwelt upon was u series ot Ietteis
in the Ave Mai la by Pope Clement,
wiltten while he wns et Caidlnal
Gangandelll. The Ietteis were nd
di eased to the stiperlois ot lellglous
houses with lefeience to the dllllcultles
they expel lenced in governing their
subjects. Tin put port of his lnstiuc-
tlims was that obedience was not so
much wanting in subjects, but that
supeiiois were iguoiant of the art ot
governing.
The point Insisted upon by the
3peaker was that the same rules are
to be observed In governing in the
family circle. Patents who speak to
their chlldien as to companions lather
than command them get the best re
sults. The second paper was a review of
Marlon Crawford's latest work, "A His
tory of Rome." "For tho first time,"
said the speaker, "Rome has had an
historian who Is competent to speak ns
a classical scholar, as an atchaeologlst
and ns a student of modern politics
and economv Fovv who have written
on the subject havo comblmd these
qualities but to these Mr. Ciawford
adds the other Indispensable icqulslto,
the ability to undei stand the position
of the Popes because he Is an Intelli
gent Catholic.
'Although evorv pige of the work
Is brilliant ;nt lt crowning excellence
is Beon In the chapter on Leo XIII,
whore Mr Ciawford nnnlyres the se
quences of events fmm ISIS to the
pn sent hour "
The thud papei had refciencc to the
books Intel uequiied by tho Sci.inton
public llbtary. He referied at some
length to the wonderful compilations
of the Jesuit uilsriionailes fiom tho
eur ISIO, when the Hist reached Can
ada until tho l.irst of the devoted band
llnlsheil his da8 of exile In Monti eal
and consist" of a series of 75 to 80 ol-
umes now In process of publication by

Father MacGoldrlck, "with a tiuly gen
eiouo splilt has subset Ibod for this
woik and has lately acqutied nil tho

Other books in the possesion of tho

JUDGE M'OLURE THINKS FIVE

BeliovoB tho Jury Was Not Just
When It Awarded Moro Than
That Amount in tho Trespass
Caso of Margaret Smith and
Others Against tho Jermyn and
Rushbrook Water Company If
Five Hundred Dollars Is Not Ac
cepted a New Trial Is Gi anted.
In the trespass cnae ot Stnigaret
Smith, Hllzabeth Vail and Maty Ann
Snyder against the Jermyn and Rush
brook Water company the following
opinion was Hied yesterday by Judge
Harold McCluie, ot tho Unlon-Mimin
Judicial district, who specially presid
ed when the case was tried hero:
Tho solo question for the juiy was
tho amount of damages the plaintiff
had sustained by the overflowing of
a portion of their lands and the drlv
lug of a tunnel through with a right
of way over them for lepalrs, etc. Less
than an acre of land overflowed and
coveted with rubbish from the tunnel,
and tluee or four ahafts for ventila
tion, which have sluco been filled in,
which the right of way for repairs aro
the extent of the damage to the sur
face of the farm.
The clear weight of tho testimony la
that no Injury will ever be done to
the surface by the driving and con
struction of the tunnel. It will be tim
bered throughout nnd the timbers are
submeiged In water.
Great stress wus laid on the Injury
to the well located one hundred feet
fiom tho tunnel, and the estimates by
the plaintiffs witnesses of the dam
ages sustained were mainly based on
the fact that the farm is now with
out water for domestic purposes. Two
causes are assigned, one that the tun
nell has polluted the well, and the oth
er that It has drained It. Both can
not be tnte, and the conflicting testi
mony leaves each In doubt.
No effort was made by the plaintiffs
to ascertain the cause or remedy the
evil, although James Caicy, one of their
witnesses and Joseph J. Jermyn say
there would be no ttouble to get water
in the well by sinking It deeper. The
owners pending these ptoceedlngs have
not risked any eNpcilmcnts in this
lino and have rejected all pt offers of
the company to supply them with wa
ter. We thought at the trial, and an
examination of the record has not
changed our opinion, that the verdict
wns excessive.
Five vieweis who went upon the
ground assessed the damage at but $200.
We ate quite sure that $500 would am
ply compensate tho plaintiffs for all
the injury they have sustained by the
operations of tho company, and we
give them tho option to accept that
sum, or have another Jury pass upon
the case.
And now, to wit, Jan. 2, 189D, lulo
absolute and new trial granted unless
the plaintiff file a lemlttitur of nil of
the veidlct In excess of $.100 within
twenty das fiom this date.

O. & W. Official Knows Nothing
ofRumoied Colliery Purchases.
A rumor that the Ontario and West
em company has purchased the Pine
Brook and Capouso collieries from thu
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company,
was published yesterday. R. B. AVil
llams, the coal superintendent of the
Ontario and Western company.had not
seen the published statement until it

"I don't know anything1 about it," Mc.
Williams said
"IUvo there been nny negotiations in
pi-ogress which might have a bearlmr
on tho liimor or upon some other con
templated puichase?"
"No. There is nothing in it at all.
If there was anything of the kind on
foot, I would know of it."
"I can suggest nothing which may
have started the icport," bald Mr. AVil
llams in teply to another question.
For some time negotiations for the
purchase of these collieries havo been
In progress between tho Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company nnd the Dela

in this city vestetdny who could speak

Army pets whoso sterling worth Is
appreciated by their masters nnd their
masters' cronies are numberless, but
dogs who rise to the position of "regi
mental pets." who become part and
parcel of the regiment at home and in
action, and who receive otMclnl recog
nition, are comparatively few.
"Cob" was the regimental pet of the
Second battalion, Royal Berltshlres,
and a soldier dog to the backbone. Ho
accompanied his regiment to Afghanis
tan and went through at the battle of
Malwand one of the most terrillc day's
lighting that has been known during
the past generation.
Man after man was cut down, but
Bob would not be denied his sharo In
the fray. He kept on running to tho
front, barking fiercely at the enemy,
until at length a bullet laid him low.
The wound was serious enough, as It
tote neatly all tho skin off his back,
but he recovered and onco again ac
companied his old corps into action.
When tho regiment returned to Eng
land tho next year Bob received great
honor at the hands of tho queen, her
majesty not only decorating him with
the medal for the campaign, but tying
It round his neck with her own handa
when the regiment paraded befoie her
at Osborne house.
Like many another warrior, Bob did
not Hvo long to enjoy the blessings ot
peace. In a little moro than a year
ha was run oer and killed in tho Isle
of AVight.

"Regimental Jack," the Scots Guards'
dog. took part In the hottest fights in
tho Crimea. He became the pet of the
guards In a ctulous fashion.
One cold winter's night ho was found
by a sentry In St. James Palaco Gar
dens. Some one had been brutally ill
treating him and had ended by flinging
him over the high wall.
In befriending tho poor animal the
sentry left his post, and this derelic
tion of duty being discovered, he was
placed in the guard room under ar
rest. The dog followed his protector,
and on hearing the story the oftlcer
was so touched by tho dog's gratitude
that the prlboner was released, with
the proverbial caution.
Henceforth Jack's fortunes were to
bo bound up with those of tho Scots
Guards.
AVhen the regiment went to the
Crimea he very soon showed the stuff
of which ho was made. At Alma ho
saved tho llfo of hl3 protector, and af
terward carried a flask of brandy to
the wounded.
At Inkerman lie was wounded In the
right foot, after literally performing
prodigies of valor. AA'Ith his two
legged comrades ho charged, and with
tooth and nail went for his country's
enemies.
The flght oer, tho faithful animal
went Joyfully to And) his protector.

A Kingsbury
riano does not represent the very
highest class of Piano bulldhiK, nor do
wo put It forward as such. Unswerv
ing honesty has been our policy from
tho outset, niid we nro too Ions In bus.
Iness now to think of departing from
that policy that has placed us whero
wo now are, viz, at the head of tho
music trado In Northeastern Penn
sylvania, A Kingsbury Piano
However, IS tho very best thing built
In a high medium grade Instrument.
Its tone Is superb, Its construction
scientifically correct, Its durability un.
surpassed. In fact tho KINGSBURY
PIANO Is Jiiht what we claim for 1U
To tho averngo performer it will af
ford unbounded satisfaction In every
respect. It will never get out of order;
it will maintain Its pitch, and long,
long years of constant use will not
mar the beauty of Its tone. It is an
honestly made Piano at moderate cost,
built expressly for use In tho homos ot
the people.
