It is altogether probable that they will be appointed to their present positions. REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. Horse Went Over n Cliff at Nay Aug Falls Dragging Two Persons With Him Both Escaped With Slight Bruises. John Stanley, of Dttnmore, while driving on the Elm hurst boulevard yesterday lost control of his horse and the animal plunged through the fenc; und went down from the end of the bridge at tho falls. Mr, Mnnley had started with a young lady to drive over the boulevard and had got as far as the toll gate when a lino broke and tho horse being very spirited, took the bit between his teeth nnd dashed down the incline to the bridge where, instead ot making the turn, the horso broke through a panel of fence and leaped down on top of a large boulder where tho occupants of the carriage orc thrown out. The horse continued its mad flight to tho very edge of tho precipice over hanging the falls. What seems remarkable Is that the occupants of tho carriage escaped with slight bruises. The horso was uninjured. The distance fell was at least thirty feet. ONE WAY OF KILLING A DOG. Safe to Say It Will Not Be Tried Again by These B ys. Throop contributes tho star Fourth of July story. Throe boys wero entrusted with tho task of dispatching a vicious dog. They selected Monday evening ns the time and a vacant field just off tho corners as tho place, and proceeded to do the dispatching In their own peculiar way. The dog was suspended by the neck from the limb of a troo. A stick of dynamite was tied to his tail nnd a fuse attached to the dynamite. When the fuse began to sizzle the dog began to wiggle, and. Just as the spark was within a few Inches ot tho explosive, the dog succeeded In extri cating himself. Tho boys ran In desperation towards the town, followed by the dog, followed by the bomb, followed by tho sizzling fuse. Tho boys had Just leaped a fence and the dog was springing In the air to leap It after them when tho spark reached tho percussion cap, tho dyna mite exploded and the dog nnd a large area ot fence wero no more. The last of the boys to get over tho fence was left within the zone of dan ger and thrown forcibly to tho ground by tho concussion. FIRE IN EMPIRE MINE. It Is Confined by Eight Big Walls, But Is Still Burning. The work of constructing wnlls to conllne tho fire In the Empire mines at Wllkes-Barro has been completed and the flro Is under control. Eight large solid walls of masonry surround the. flames, which cover a space about a mile In length. It was tirst thought necessary to flood the mine, but the plan adopted will undoubtedly havo the same effect and thus save thousands of tons of un mlncd coal. It was necessary to keep a current of air upon the Are In order to prevent explosions of gas, and now that tho flro Is enclosed tho company officials think the gas will aid them In the smothering process and that In a short time tho fire will dlo out. As all connections with the other parts of the mine nre cut off from tha lire, It will do no damage. -- ' 9500 Reward.

HOW THE FOURTH WAS CELEBRATED SOBANTONIANB DESERTED CITY AND TOOK TO THE WOODS. All tho Favorite Nearby Itetrcats Wero Thronged and the Railroad and Trolloy Companlos Report an Immense Business Several Fatal ities, rt Big Flro and a Large Num ber of Minor Accidents Were Re corded Much Patriotic Enthusi asm Manifested. Scrnntonlnns celebrated Fourth ot July by deserting tholr city homes nnd taking to the woods. Possibly no previous holiday over witnessed such .a general exodus ot plrnlckers. Lake Ariel, FarvIew.Moun tain Park, Nay Aug park, the East mountain and Laurel Hill park were tho favorite retreats of the pleasure Beckers. The steam roads did an unprecedent ed business nnd the trolley company was scarcely able to handle Its patrons, being handicapped by n, number of cars being In the repair shop as tho result of the recent lightning storm. It was an eventful day, too, In the way of accidents. Tho day was excessively hot, but there was at no time oven a threat ot rain, something very remarkable for a. Fourth of July in this region. Tho police records did not Indicate any un usual disorder, nothing of a serious nature occurring nnd only tho ordin ary number of minor cases being re ported. Tho disastrous flro In the cen tral city was the most exciting event of the day. There were n number of smaller fires and the department was kept on the Jump. PLENTY OF FIREWORKS. While there was no general demon stration of any kind there was no mis taking that it was Fourth of July. Patriotic enthusiasm ns represented In tho discharge of fire works was unlim ited. It Is safe to gay there was enough powder burnt yesterday and the night preceding to carry on a good sized war for a couple ot days. Tho stream of humanity that poured In the direction of Lake Ariel yester day began at an early hour, and from G o'clock until afternoon the hourly trains wero loaded with happy excur sionists supplied with capacious lunch baskets, joyful In anticipation of tho pleasures of tho day's outing. The feminine portion of tho passengers was resplendent In holiday attire, nnd whether in groups or attended by male escorts, tho faces of all wore wreathed In Fourth of July picnic smiles of be witching radiance. There were black lmlred, red-haired, brown-halrod, blcached-halred, nnd some grny-halred girls; fat girls and lean girls; tall girls and stout girls; dimpled rIiIb and freckled girls. Girls in sailor hats, Dewey hats, lace hats, felt hats and wire drenms, decorated with plumago of birds of giddy flight, ribbons of rain bow hues, imitations of the most daz zling flowers of the field. TRAINS CROWDED. The trains running to tho lako wore packed nt each trip until lato in tho afternoon and it is probable that not les than six thousand excursionists visited that resort alone. With each additional train load tho scenes of hilarity at tho lake became more marked, notwithstanding the state of the thermometer which prompted tho greater majority to seek tho cooling shades of the groves as soon as they landed. All were out for a holiday and the visitors celebrated ns best pleased their fancy. At nn early hour In tho day frequent libations from tho foaming beverage ot Gambrlnus had not only taken the starch out of the four-Inch collars of many of the nice looking boys present, but had also produced a wobbly affection In their pedals which made locomotion exceed ingly hazardous. The llttlo girls too, wero Inclined to bo funny. "Them gol darned Scranton girls are Jest too pert for anything," said a resident of the vicinity of the lako a3 a couple of the fair passengers famil iarly greeted him with "Hellow, pa pa!" "They needn't get too blamed smart. I ain't lived around here all my life." The crowd laughed nnd girls passed on to the danco platform where tho Lawrence orchestra discoursed muslo for dancing, looking for an affinity that would better appreciate tholr ad vances. THE ATTRACTIONS. The festivities of the day extended far Into the twilight nnd It was a warm time for all. The attractions furnished by the lako owners consisted of a bal loon ascension by Professor Glasgow nnd trick bicycle riding by tho well known Scranton artist, Mr. Percy Frutchcy. The trainmen of the Erlo and Wyoming handled the crowds with commendable skill nnd nsldo from the over-crowding of some of the trains tho excursion was conducted In a way to provide for tho comfort of tho pat rons. At Laurel Hill pnrk tho congregation of Holy Cross church, Uellevue, held a picnic which was attended by a large crowd. Tho day wa3 very pleas antly spent and was unmarred by any accident. The excursion of St. Brenden's Coun cil, Young Men's Institute, to Dlngham ton yesterday was attended by hun dreds of friends of the council from West Scranton. The Ancient Order of Britons ox curfcion to Mountain Park yesterday was one of the largest ever run from this city to this popular resort. A largo number of persons from this city attended tho celebrations at Car bondale and Wallsvlllo yesterday. TRYING FOR WARD'S RELEASE. An Unsuccessful Attempt to Get Him Out of Stroudsburg Jail. "Friends have made a determined but unsuccessful attempt to securo the re lease of Joseph Ward, of Mooslc, who is now in tho county Jail charged with threatening to kill Postmaster Millard Hauscr, of tho Delaware Water Gap," says the Stroudsburg Times of Mon day. "It will be remembered that Ward a few weeks ago told Mr. Hauser that he, Ward, and his gang had Hauscr marked on account of his killing their 'naV Gleason nnd that they would decorate his gravo before October 1st. "Ward has a Bister married to P. P. Laughlln, ot Scranton, a prominent member of tho Lackawanna county bar. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlln came to Stroudsburg and tho lawyer tried his level best to secure his brother-in-law's ICICUBUi Biuwiib .im, (IU ,UB M IICUW I ful man, sober and quiet, Those whd knew tho prisoner while ho resided at the Gap say differently. "Lawyer Laughlln went to Justice Druke and nsked the magistrate for a signed letter to Postmaster Hauscr, setting fourth that If he, Hauser, would drop proceedings, they would pay all costs. Hauscr refused to settle the case. "Laughlln and his wlfo returned to Scranton and today Layton M. Schoch, acting for the former, tried to got Ward out. He was not successful." ARMORY MASS MEETING.

C0GGINS OBJECTED Gave Her Husband nnd a Young Woman Ho Was With a Severe Trouncing on Penn Avenue Last Night. John Cogglns and a young woman, with whom he had been spending the day, were roundly trounced with a heavy-handled umbrella by Cogglns' wife, at 9 o'clock last night, on the 300 block of Penn avenue. Cogglns and his wlfo separated five years ago, nfter having been married eleven years. Both have lived in this city, but avoided each other's company. Recently It came to tho ears of Mrs. Cogglns that her husband was paying attention to another woman. She In formed him by letter of what she had heard and served notice on htm that if she ever saw him with another woman she would brain him. Yesterday it came to her ears that her husband was seen about town in the company of a young woman. Arm ing herself with nn umbrella with a heavy bone and metal handle, she sta tioned herself near her husband's boarding house. She had not been waiting long when tho husband, with a young woman on his arm, hovo In .sight. Springing out In front ot them, she raised the umbrella aloft and brought the handle end forcibly down upon the head of her recreant spouse. Ho was stunned by the blow and pow erless to prevent a like assault on his companion and a repetition ot tho nt tack upon himself. When Patrolman Peuster reached the scene, Mrs. Cogglns was In the grasp of a bystander, struggling to freo her self and continue tho attack. The hus band's companion got away, but he himself was too badly used up to run and was taken Into custody along with his Infuriated wife. They were locked up In adjoining cells In Center street. Mrs. Cogglns Is a large, powerful- looking woman. She Is thirty-three years of age, and comes from a highly respected family from up the valley. She did not complain of her Incarcera tion, but rather appeared quite satis fied with what she had accomplished nnd willing to take the consequences. REV. MR. GIFT'S NEW CHARGE.
