EVERY STREET A RIVER.
Heavy Thaw Causes Large Flow of
Surfaco Water.
There were just seventy-six com
plaints received fit the 3treet commis
sioner's) olllee yesterday. They camp
from every part of the city. Hlocked
gutters were the principal causae of
complaint, with overflowing1 sewers a
good second.
Street Commissioner O'Boyle had
sixty men nt work clearing off cross
walks at street intersections and found
this about nil that his department
could attend to. The only thing that
could be done to rcllcx-e the principal
causes of complaint was to compel the
property owners to clear their gutters,
und to send a. force of men to distrib
ute the water that was causing sowers
to overflow. Neither effort was very
efficacious.
Street Commissioner O'Boyle was
quite well satisfied that thlnzs were
no worse. Had it not been that the
heavy thaw of yesterday was preceded
by a gradual thaw during the three
preceding days, there would have been
no end of trouble.
Despite the unusually heavy flow of
surface water, the river did not show
any nlnrming signs of a rise. The Sus
quehanna was rising rapidly yesterday
and people living along the lowlands
at West Pittson and points farther
down were moving out in anticipation
of a flood. As the Susquehanna rises
the Lackawanna will back up, and this,
coupled with the larso flow from the
thaw, will undoubtedly cause our own
majestic stream to assume largely ex
panded proportions today.

TALK OF OUR NEEDS.
Tlmo n.T? Come Wnnn H:o City Muse
Sccuro New Manufacturing Indus
tries Moneyed Men Arc. Apathetic
in This Mattel' Campaign in Sup
port of the Council Military Bill Is
Inaugurated Board of Trade Has
No Time for the Cultivation of the
Muse.
Before laying down Its labors, the
manufacturers' committee of the board
of trade, at last night's regular meet
ing, read the board the following mild
lecture on the comparative apathy of
Its moneyed men. In the matter of new
Industries.
To tho President and Members, Scran
ton Hoard of Trade.
Gentlemen: Under tho head of new
business our worthy president will an
nounce the standing committees for
the ensuing jear, when your present
.Manurnrturers committee will cease
to exist and th Important duties de
veloping upon them will fall into other
hands. We desire therefore In making
our final how, to report 11 most favor
able outlook for thf future Industrial
growth of our city. We base this state
ment upon the fnrt that so many de
sirable opportunities lire now being of
fered our citizens for tho employment
of their enpltnl, which, according to
the recent bank statement compiled by
our secretary, is now on deposit In this
city, awaiting profitable Investment.
The class of Industries now to be
had are those whose promoters so tho
possibilities nf the future and deslro
to place themselves In a position to
take advantage of every opportunity,
by locating where greater facilities are
offered. They appreciate the advan
tages of Seranton in the way of its
chen ii fuel, unsurpassed shipping faci
lities, nearness to tho great markets,
etc., etc., and they are therefore knock
ing at our doors.
At tho present time we are offered
two very desirable Industries which
would give employment to nt least 400
men. They nve. first, a "Holt and Nut"
plnnt. which requires a capital of $150,
000 This will be nnv from the ground
up and under tho management of men
thotoughly c inversant with every de
tail of the business and of a acknowl
edged financial ability and integrity.
It Is in eveiy way a mot favorable
proposition. We hav" 00,000 subscrib
ed, Can the balance lie secured, or shall
we ullow the works to go elsewhere?
Next in Importance Is a rubber manu
facturing plant thnt will employ 200
men with a market for the entire pro
duct of the mill right at home. This
concern is mnklng money where they
nre and have worked steadily for the
past ten years.
They will put In dollar for dollar,
or in other words they prefer to havn
a controlling interest. Can the balance
be raised here? Tn addition to these'
might be mentioned a piano factory, a
hot air furnace plant nnd a hay press
factory, each of which, in our judg
ment, offer rare opportunities for the
investment of capital. Now, then, what
shall we say to these people? This Is
a question that appeals to every man
of means in the city, especially to
large real estate owners.
There is an apparent reluctance
among our monled men to go into in
dustrial ventures. Why is it? It is
surely not from a lack of money, for
that commodity was never so plenti
ful or cheap as it Is today. It is n,)
task to go out and raise eulllclent cap
ital to start a bank, for Investors think
they see a sure and quick return from
such enterprises. But what will be
come of the banks without employed
labor and successful merchants?
We sincerely trust that the commit
tee appointed tonight mnv receive such
substantial encouragement from our
citizens that will enable them to se
cure, during the present war, many
valuable additions to our already var
ied line of Industries.
Most respectfully submitted.

Committee.
President Keller commented on tho
importance of the communication and
urged the members to give it their
most earnest consideration.
SECRETARY ATHEUTON SPEAKS.
Secretary Atherton followed with a
strong speech along the same lines.
Seranton, he said, must secure indus
tries if It would prosper. Three or four
years ago the board of trade was ad
vised .to interest Itself In tin plule
manufacturing. The matter was can
vassed and then dropped. Today there
are tin plate industries all over the
country, and they nre earning from
thirty to forty per cent, profit. Seran
ton is now offered a number of srood
investments In the shape of manufac
turing enterprises, Two very desirable
ones are within our grasp, but we can
not secure them because of the want
of capital.
"Wo have reached a point where we
must have manufacturing industries to
supplant the coal Industry, which, us
must be conceded, can not enlarge.
The war is over. Money is plenty.
Industries are being planted all over
the land, yet we are almost at a
standstill for the want of capital. Our
moneyed men who have their Interests
mainly centered here should look into
this matter. It Is directly to their
interest as well as to the city's.
Tho report was received and placed
on file without further comment, but
it was evident that the communication
and tho secretary's remarks mado an
impression on those who heard them.

Colonel F. L. Hitchcock brought up
tho question of national defense nnd
secured the passage, by an unanimous
and enthusiastic vote, of a resolution
approving the Connell military bill nnd
directing tho secretary to endeavor to
enlist the co-operation of the hoards
of trado throughout the country in urg
ing consress to make It a law.
The bill, Colonel Hitchcock explained,
wns drafted by a number of present
nnd former local members ot the na
tlnml guard. It provides for the or
ganization of a national guard of 800.
000 men. distributed among the differ
ent slates as Is the present state mill-
tin, tui! t.) be equipped, partially sus
tained and entirely schooled by the na
tional war department, In return for
which the guardsmen will he subject
nt any period of their enlistment to
six months service in the United States
army.
Tho purpose Is to have nn auxiliary
to the regular army that will be ready
for action nt a moment's notice.
This Is a very Important matter, Col
onel Hitchcock went on to say. Our
national defense Is as much within tho
scope of board of trade work as any
matter It ever gives attention to.
SAVED US A WAR.
Some good-sized nation will come
along and give us a thundering good
walloping and then we will wake up
to this fact. AW have had a war once
every twenty years on the average
during tlio last century. AVu would
have been spared the last war had
tho Connell bill been In active opera
tion a reasonable time previous to It.
Spain would never have resisted had
she seen an army of .100,000, instead
of 23,000, to contend nsalnst.
AVu had 2R0.000 men in the Held, it Is
true, shortly utter the declaration of
war, but wo didn't have nn army.
They didn't amount to anything, and
If they had to go up against a good
army we would have found it out.
Colonel Hitchcock only asked for the
board's sanction of the measure but
tlie board, at J. D. AVllllams' sugges
tion, decided to go farther, and en
deavor to have all tho boards of trado
in the country petition for its enact
ment into a law.
The bill Is In the hands nf the com
mittee on military affairs in tho house
of representatives, but Is not likely
to be reached at this session. It will,
however, be re-Introduced by Con
gressman Connell with some amend
ments nt the opening of the next ses
sion, and nn energetic effort made to
carry It through. Tho squabble over
the Hull bill Is what makes Its con
sideration at this session rather hope
less. THE SHIPPING BILL.
A communication was received from
the New Vork chamber of commerce
asking the board's commendation of
the bill to revise American shipping.
On Colonel Hitchcock's motion tho
matter was referred to the committee
on legislation and taxes.
Secretary Atherton transmitted a re
quest from Attorney George C. Yocum
that the board vote Its approval of tho
project to bring James AVhltcomb Ril
ey here to give a lecture next
month. The board adopted a motion
to receive the communication and place
it on llle.
The llnanre committee, through
Chair an A. H. Christy, reported hav
ing examined the accounts of tho sec
retary and treasurer and found them
correct.
The resignations of Arthur L. 'Col
lins and J. James Taylor were received
and adopted.
The board listened to a letter ftom
Thomas H. Dibble setting forth the
excellencies of his "Students' Grill."
a new fangled gas stove, and later
enjoyed an "occulnr and gastronomic."
demonstration of these excellencies.
Thirty-live members were served with
roast duck, apple sauce, pork and beans
and a lot of other delicacies prepared
with the "grill" In the secretary's cilice
while the meeting' was In progress.
Captain Dibble's request that the
hoard take up the matter of capitaliz
ing a company for the manufacture of
his invention was referred to th man
ufacturers' committee.
C. S. MILLER'S SUDDEN DEATH.
Coroner Roberts Decided That Heirt
Failure Was the Cause.
C. S. Miller, of 717 Seranton street,
died suddenly yesterday morning, with
out any apparent cause, and In conse
quence of that fact Cormier Koberts
wus notified. The circumstances uur
roundlng the death are that Miller,
while lecllnlntr on a lounge Sunday
night, fell asleep and was not dis
turbed. At ," o'clock yesterday morn
ing a young man named Wheeler, who
is Miller's nephew, nrose to go to work,
and noticed Miller still sleeping.
He went Into the kitchen to set a
cup of coffee, and while there heard a
noise. Returning to the sitting room
to ascertain the cause, he found Miller
had tolled off the lounge onto the lloor.
AVheeler picked the man up and placed
him on the lounge again, and shortly
afterwards Miller died.
Coroner Roberts wan summoned and
decided that tho man's death was due
to heart failure, deeming an inquest
unnecessary. Deceased was an old sol
dier, und a pensioner, and formerly
worked In the Delaware, Lackawanna
und AVestern car shops as a carpenter,
but for the past two years was unable
to do any work. He Is survived by one
slt'ter, Mrs. H. V. AVheeler. one daugh

BURGLAR SHOT
BY POSTMASTER
MAlili AN EFFORT TO RIFLE
WATER GAP TOSTOFFICE.
His Two Accomplices Escaped But
tho Man Who Gives His Namo as
John Blako and His Homo as Jer
sey City Was Probably Fatally
Shot He Is Now at tho Lacka
wanna Hospital An Operation
Was Performed Last Night by
Hospital Surgeons.
When Millard Hauser was mado
postmaster at AVater Gap about one
year ago he threatened to make It
warm for the first burglar who entered
his olllee and yesterday morning ho
made good his vow. Ho shot nnd prob
ably fatally wounded one ot a gang
ot three burglars who had entered the
postolllcc and tried to blow open tho
safe.
About 1.40 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Hauser, who lives next door to tho
postolllcc heard an explosion. His sus
picions were immediately aroused and
ho Jumped out of bed, grabbed his
gun and opened a window. On tho
pavement in front of the olllee stood
a man. The fellow started to run
when ho heard the postmaster call him
to halt and Hauser fired. Tho burglar
fell to tho pavement mortally wounded.
His pals ran to his assistance nnd
opened fire on the plucky postmaster.
Six shots were exchanged and it Is
believed that another of tho burglars
was hit. AA'hen the battle became too
warm for them tho thieves nicked up
their Injured companion and carried
him nbout 150 feet. Then, at tho
wounded man's request, they dropped
him In a snow bank and lied.
WOUNDS IN THE BACK.
AA'hen tho burglar was found ho was
bleeding from several ugly buckshot
wounds in the back. Ho was carried
to a physician's olllee and there told
that he could not recover. He re
fused to give his namo or address or
the names of his companions. Tho
thieves did not secure any booty. This
is the sixth time In as many years
that this office has been burglarized.
Ilauser surrendered to the district at
torney, but wns released on his own
recognizance.
The injured man was placed on a
Delaware, Lackawanna and AVestern
train and taken to this city, arriving
here yesterday afternoon. He was tak
en to the Lackawanna hospital. It
was apparent that he thought he
would die and he asked for the minis
trations of a priest. Ii(v Father
Gough, of the cathedral, attended him.
An examination of the Injured man
showed that he had eleven different
shot wounds. Seven of the small par
ticles of shot entered tho back nnd
one passed through the right fore arm.
Two entered the right leg, one of the
particles going entirely through.
OPERATION PERFORMED.
Early In the evening an operation
was performed upon the sufferer, who
previous to going on the operation
table stated that his name was John
Blake, and residence Jersey City. Two
small balls were removed from be
tween the tlesh and abdomlnnl lining.
It was also discovered that tho Intes
tines were perforated in six distinct
places by the passage of the balls
through the body.
At a late hour last night Blako was
recovering from the effects of the oper
ation In fair shape, hut it was the
Impression of tho physicians that his
case is extremely serious. However,
he looks and acts like a fellow of
sound body and plenty of grit and
may recover.
CLASS' MONTHLY SOCIAL.
Prof. Buck's Sunday School Class
Entertained Last Night.
About two hundred members of Pro
fessor Buck's Sunday school class at
Elm Park chuich met in the church
parlors last evening on tho occasion
of the cinss monthly social session.
A delightful programme ot music and
recitations was thoroughly enjoyed,
and the affair proved to be the most
successful of the many similar ones
the class has given.
The committee In charge of the re
freshments consisted of James Bar
ton, J. II. Hopkins, H. II. Bushncll,
O. S. BIoss, John Kemp, Charles Cen
ter, Adel Moore and F. Schrader. Pro
fessor Buck's ciuss Is probably tho
largest Sunday school class In our city,
and indicates the untiring and ener
getic labor of its teacher in maintain
ing an active interest in Sunday school
work among Its members.
EVIDENCE WAS INSUFFICIENT.
Alleged Dunmore Counterfeiter Was
Released.
Thomas Duffy, of Dunmore, who was
arrested Sunday night on the charge of
attempting to pass counterfeit money,
was released yesterday after a hearing
before Burgess Dan Powell.
The fact that no spurious money was
found on his person, and that the evi
dence connecting him with the bad dol
lar which tho children tried to spend in
Evans' bakery was not of tho kind upon
which Federal court juries are wont to
convict, induced tho magistrate to let
hlm'go.
At the most, It was a case of a
thlrrty vagrant trying to get a few
thinks on a single bad coin which
chance threw Into his way.
MAY MEET THIS WEEK.
Special Session of the Poor Board Is
Coni emplated.
A meeting of the poor board Is con
templated for tomorrow night. Mr.
Langstaft was empowered as president
to call a special meeting when the
abrupt adjournment occurred Friday
afternoon.
Ho Is disposed to call a cpeclal meet
ing to pass upon the bills and if it is
agreeable to a majority of tho board
he will call the meeting for tomorrow
night or Thursday night. Ho was
