confceivutlvely estimated that J15.000

KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.
Michael Morrison Met Death and W.
D Evans and Others Injured.
A deplorable accident with fatal re
sults occurred at the very outset of
jesterday's doings. Michael Morrison,
the well known liveiyman, attnehed his
fcplrlted team ol white horses to the
magnificent float of the Knights of
Pjthlas. Hvviythlng was In readiness
and the ptart to Join the civic parade
was made from the Van Bergen pattern
shop, where the float was constructed,
W. D. Evans, representing the King,
surrounded by ten senators, occupied
the throne, at least ten feet from the
uround.
As they proceeded along Van Bergen
alley the horses became frightened and
made a dash, carrying with them by
their bits two of tlio four colored foot
men that accompanied the outf.t. Mr.
Morrison did his utmost to control them
but they were absolutely unmanage
able. They turned Into Dundaff street
nnd as they did so he Jumped, evidently
In an eftort to get to their heads. The
unfortunate man struck a pole, fell
back under the wagon and had his
head crushed by the wheels. Death
was instantaneous.
At the same tlmo the float struck a
pole and collapsed, throwing the oc
cupants in .ll directions. Mr. Evans
fell from his high position to the plat
form of the old Union station nnd
sustained a gash on the knee which
required several stitches to close. An
drew Hell and Ike Rogers wero severe
ly bruised and William Barber was
Injured in the side, to what extent
cannot now b said. Eleven other per
sons on the float escaped with slight or
no injuries
As the float struck the pole the team
freed Itself and put an end to the
havoc.
The float was the most magnificent!
that had been made for the occasion
nnd cost the Knights of Pythias more
than J200 That accounts for the selec
tion of one of the handsomest nnd most
uplrited pair of horses In the city to
draw it.
SKETCH OF DECEASED.
Mr. Morrison was born in this city
fifty-eight years ago and had resided
here nearly all his life. For many
years he had conducted a largo livery
nnd though of Independent spirit he
possessed strict integrity which made
him numerous friends among thoso
with whom he had business relations.
He 18 survived; by a wife and two
thlldren a daughter 5 years old and
n infant six weeks old. Two brothers
William and James, of this city, also
mourn his loss.
The funeral arrangements have not
been made.
TRADES DISPLAY.
Commercial Interests Well Repre
sented in Morning Parudo.
The civlo parado was headed by
mounted police, Mayor Kllpatrlck, ex
Mayors Hendrlck, O'Neill and Jadwln;
the local clergy and the Mozart band.
K score of local societies followed and
among them was the Scranton canton
of uniformed Odd Fellows, which was
loudly applauded all along tho line. In
ihla division there was a float carry.-
Ing forty-five glils representing liberty
and the states, nnd to their safety Gen
eral Manager Sahm gave his personal
attention. There was a man at the
head of each of the four horses, In ad
dition to an ablo driver. Mr. Sahm
directed every turn the huge float
made.
Among the floats of the business men
there were bo mans beautiful and in
genious ones that it is dlllleult to say
who will get the pi 70 Two that may
be mentioned, lmwcvn, without excit
ing any unplenimt fet lings are the
huro block of nnthuilt" coal and the
Sprl heater all steamed up. Richard
Glbbs' masons lading bilck arches also
made a hit.
THE FIRE.
House of R. A. Bryson, Ignited by
Fireworks No Insurance.
About 2 o'clock yesterday, Are was
discovered on the loof of R, A. Bry
son's house on Salem avenue, next to
the river. A still alarm was sent In
and both companies responded. They
did heroic work, but for a time indi
cations pointed to a conflagration. The
find building Is Joined by a number of
huge modern structures. However, the
Humes were confined to the Boson
building.
Water ruined the household furni
ture upstairs and did great damage to
the sewing machine office of Mr. Bry
son and the bicycle repair shop of K.
CI. WIckvvIre downstairs. No Insur
ance was carried.
FANTASTIC PARADE.
Everything Imaginable and More,
too, Presented in This Order.
About the time the Are excitement
subsided the fantastlcs appeared. This
procession was abut one mile long and
not spread nnv. To enumerate the
funny things that appeared here would
require a whole page.
The hand organ and monkey get-up
of Joseph Birs and Chailes Patrick
O'Connor ought to be a prl7c-w Inner.
There were sevcial exhibitions of
caged animals.
The calliope of the Blazing Stump
combination was const! ucted of vari
ous sizes of steam whistles, and, un
like the circus calliopes, it never got
out of steam.

Precautions to Do Taken Against the
Cm rent's Wild Work.
Trom the Philadelphia Times.
While it Is Impossible, oven with the
utmost precaution, to mako life nnd
proporty absolutely safe from tho de.
structive lightning stroke, very much
can be done by simple common-sense
care to reduce tho danger to tho mini
mum, rrhe newspapers almost dally
record tho loss of life or tho destruc
tion of valuable property by lightning,
and thoso who intelligently note such
reports must understand that In a very
large majority of cases whero life or
property Is destroyed by lightning, the
disaster could have been prevented,
In nearly every Instance where thu
loss of life Is caused by lightning tho
victim Invited the deadly bolt by being
near an open window or door or other
wise exposed to a current of damp air
that is a good lightning conductor, or
by taking refuge under trees in a
storm.
It is very rare for lightning to enter
a closed house and cause tho death of
Inmates. In nine caBes out of ten
whero lightning enters a house, It Is
thiough an open door or window or
some other opening that permits a cur
rent of damp air into tho building.
Many closed houses have received tho
electric stroko without any inlurv in
the Inmates and with llttlo damage to
tho building. Tho outer 6Urfaco being
wet during tho storm, furnishes better
conductors, and the charge diffuses or
readies the earth usually without seri
ous disaster.
In no other way have the people, and
especially tho farmers of the country,
been so much Imposed upon as In tho
snlo of lightning rods. An imperfect
conductor attached to a building Is
much worse than none at all, as It can
serve only to attract the electric stroke
without conducting It to the earth.
Some country buildings havo many
more lightning rods than would be
needed if they were of tho right kind,
nnd many others are so bungllngly and
economically supplied as to be entirely
unequal to tho protection of the struc
ture. But ono conductor should bo
used to protect a building nnd that Is
the copper cable. Tho conducting
power of n lightning rod Is the amount
of surface it presents to the electric
charge, and a small copper cable with
its many sUrnnds of wire, each one pre
senting a complete conducting surface,
vastly multiplies the conducting capac
It: Such a conductor if attached to a
complete circuit of cable near the base
of tho roof with rods and points at
tached to each chimney or nny other
prominent point of the building, and
two or more conducting rods from the
circuit to the earth, gives the best pos
sible protection against lightning The
copper cablo Is a stranger to rust, nnd
Is the most enduring metal that can be
used for the purpose.
It Is wise for every proporty owner to
havo the house protected against light
ning as herein suggested, but the ne
cessity for such protection to tho barns
of farmers Is of supreme importance.
The new hay crop is now in the mows
of tho faimers' barns, nnd the grain
crops will soon follow. No matter how
favorable is the condition of new hay
and grain crops stored away In mows,
they create a large quantity of gases
which are constantly escaping from the
building and which arc highly inflam
mable. This fact explains why when a barn
containing fresh crops is struck by
lightning, it becomes almost Immedi
ately enveloped In destructive flames.
The necessity for protecting barns
should, theiefore, be fully appreciated
by every farmer of ordinary Intelli
gence, nnd tho only -way to protect a
barn Is to obtain the very best conduc
tors They are only a little more cost
ly than tho ordinary lightning rods,
but they give the best possible assur
ance of safety to barn nnd crop.
Our stoims arc very gradually In
creasing in violence, and it is logical
that they should. Mountains, rivets
and forests on both hill and valley at
tract storms, toy with them and tem
per their ferocity, and as we are stead
ily denuding our count! y of forests the
storms may bo expected to Increase In
violence. The c clones which are so
common In tho western states are not
produced bv a different climate, but
solely because there are no mountains
or forests to hinder them In their
sweep.
In this section of tho country tho
chief destruction from our storms Is in
the lightning stroke, and It can bo
stripped of Its tenors underall ordinary
circumstances by the simple and common-sense
precautions wo have Indi
cated. We often read of tho "freaks"
of lightning, but an electric discharge
of the clouds follows the law of attrac
tion as scrupulously as the fallen apple
follows the law of gravitation. It goes
only where tho greatest attractions Is
piesented, and the greatebt attraction
can always be offered by the copper
cable conductor intelligently attached
to the building.

Our German friends are bound to havo
a fuss. Tho foolish outcry against Cap
tain Coghlan, for telling tho truth at the
Union League banquet, Is proof of this.
But stronger proof la found In tho silly
controversy raised by the German am
bassador In Washington over the display
of the flags of the United States, Eng
land, and Germany on thu auxiliary
cruiser Badger, which took the joint
commission to Samoa. Tho Badger has
only two masts and Germany Insisted
that on one of them Its Aug should fly.
But there were two other flags, and final
ly this very serious question was settled
by the secretary of state, on the basis
that a lino should be strung horizontally
from tho two masts, upon which lino tho
three flags should all be flown, on the
samo level. Verily, this Is a day of
small things and tho dlfllculty In Samoa
la one of tho smallest. Three great na
tions are disputing over thl Island,
though tho last census shows that thero
are only 439 British subjects In Samoa,
twenty-six Americans, and twenty Ger
mans. Lesllo's Weekly.

SUICIDAL SUCCESS.
Tho "Shlnliirr. Lights" or frcir-Dcstriictlon.
It may bo truthfully enld that tho
majority of men and women do not
live out their allotted time. It may
bo said with equal truth that theso
people nro suicides. They destroy
themselves, They do so In spite of
warning and! advice, In splto of tho
teachings of observation and experi
ence. Tho wholo situation Is por
trayed in the Illustration In this ar
ticle. Thero Is an industrious man
busily sawing away at tho limb of
a tree on which ho sits His pur
pose Is to cut the limb from the trunk.
But as ho sits on the outer end of the
limb and cuts on the Inner side, his
success will destroy him. When ho
succeeds in cutting off tho limb ho
will drop to tho ground below and bo
killed or at least seriously injured.
Below him his wife stands pointing out
his danger. But with masculine con
ceit he goes ahead with his sawing.
Ho knows what he's doing, he sajs.
It may bo objected that this man Is
too grossly ignorant of humanity
which gives strength to the parallel.
Men, generally, know nothing of phy
siology. They aro ignorant of physi
cal economics. They treat the body as
if It needed tin ronqlHo.ntinn
thought. They eat any kind of food,
at any convenient time. The food Is
often prepared so that it gives tne
minimum of possiblye nutriment, and
in reality adds to the burdens tho body
has to bear. There are no regular
hours for rest and there Is no time for
reci cation. And this kind of a man is
a sort of model to the community. He's
"so busy ho hardly has tlmo to eat"
says the famer's wife. "My hus
band needs to take a day off to get
acquainted with his children," says tho
merchant's wife. By and by the far
mer Is stricken down in harvest and
leaves a flne form to be divided among
his children. The merchant drops
downs with "heart allure" nnd leaves
a family and perhaps llttlo to support
them when the estate Is wound up.
There are men who with every stroke
of the saw of Industry are cutting
off tho branch of llfo on which they
sit. lou may set it down that
A MAN IS KILLING HIMSELF
who either does not cut down his woric
to the level of his strength or bring up
his strength to tho level of this wor
One of theso two things he must do If
ho Is to avoid physical collapse. But
how can a man bring his body up to
the requirements of his excessive la
bor? How does the farmer bring his
land up to the requirements of tho
crops? He Duts hnetr int i, ..-. ...
elements which are used up In crop
making. That's what his use of phos
phates means His land would dlo if
ho did not put back his strength. Thero
ato two ways of doing this. Ho can
let his lands lie fallow for a year or
two, and let Nature slowly and labor
iously collect and replace tho needed
ital elements Or ho may havo resort
to agricultural science, and put into
Nature's hands the vital elements al
ready prepared for her use, and go
right along sowing and reaping without
letting the land lie Idle and losing its
product. The farmer needs only to
treat his body as lie treats his land to
preservo his health and bring his body
up to the level of the labor required of
it. He must put back into tho body
what ho takes out of it, what Is ex
hausted by his work and energy or he
must give that body a regular rest and
let it slowly recuperate. But how can
ho put back into his body tho used up
elements of strength? It would be
strange Indeed if science could not do
for flesh and blood (the soil In which
roots the flower of health) what it does
for the soil. To tho solution of
THE PROBLEM OF LIFE
many scientific men have given years
of time and thought. One of them has
achieved an absolute success In its so
lution. In Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are contained the very vital
elements which go to make up physical
strength. Theso are so prepared and
compounded that they present Nature
with the material for strength making
and body building In a perfectly com
pact and available form. That "aold
en Medical Discovery" does bring tho
strength up to the level of tho required
work, is evidenced by tho testimony or
thousands of men and women who
found their strength growing less and
their capacity for work dally diminish
ing, and after taking the "Discovery"
And themselves able to work without
weariness and exhaustion.

because I wanted to wait one year af
ter I had taken tho medicine beforo
giving my statement, and now I can
send a good, conscientious testimonial,"
writes Charles H. Sergeant, of Plain
City, Madison county, Ohio. "During
tho summer and fall of 1S90 I became
nil 'run-down,' nerves were out of or

to Dr. Pierce for advice. He said I had

meals a day, nnd I do not feel that mis
erable burning in the stomach after

good shape, .and well In fact, I think
I am In pretty good running order."
WOMEN NEED IT.
It's the sr-i hlng with women ns
with ip v i are Just ns apt as
men i i i out of their bodies in
a da luin they can put back In
food and lest That means n dally
over draft of strength which some day
results in physical bankruptcy. It's
like this: There's a woman whoso hus
band has left her five hundred dollars
Insurance. She has the money in tho
bank and means to keep It for "a rainy
day." But one month she can't quite
make out with her earnings and draws
n little from the bank. And the next
month the earnings don't come, up to
the requirements of living and she
draws a little from the bank. And tho
next month the earnings don't como
up to the requirements of living and
she draws a little more money. And so
it goes on until all that surplus is gone,
can you tell what Is going to happen
the next month when the earnings don't
quite pay the living expenses? The wo
man Is going a little hungry. And
when bho has gonu n little hungry a.
few months, , still keeping up her day's
work, she's going to collapse She
hasn't put back Into tho body what
so has used up In Its daily labor. To
Medical Discovery comes as a God
such a woman Dr. Pierce's Golden
send. She is astonished at its strength
producing qualities.
"I took four bottles of Dr Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and vial of
'Pellets,' and I could eat anything I
wanted, so thought I would not take
any more for a while and see If I was
cured," writes Mrs. Julia E. Deal, of
Oswalt, Iredell Co, N. C. "I have not
taken any medicine now for four
months. I can nny thing I want and
havo not been sick a day this sum
mer. The more I eat and the ha 1 i
I work the better I feel. 1 hive not
been in bed a day since I took jour
medicines "
These aio real cures. The Imaginary
curps of many medicines come onlj
from opiates and stlumulants. In the
ono the nerves which cry for food art
drugged with what is caller "nervine"
or "nerve food." but which Is In real
ity nerve destructive. In the other,
"WHISKY MEDICINES,"
or medicines heavily loaded with alco
hol, stimulate the patient and pro
duce an effect similar in kind though
different In deirree. to that souirht hv
the Inebriate In beer or whlky. It Is
of such "medicines" that "The Voice,"
the great temperance organ of the
country, says In a recent Issue:
"In many patent medicines which
are largely consumed throughout the
country, by all classes of people, there
Is a percentage of alcohol which puts
them on a level with beer, rum and
whisk ns intoxicants. It Is safe to af
firm that they are medicines in name,
only. Their chief value lies in their
alcoholic effect as a stimulant. In
faot, those who know attribute the
benefits ascribed to this class of medi
cines wholly to the stimulative effects
of tho nlcohol they contain."
The results which aro produced by
tho use of "Golden Medical Discover) "
aro genuine. This medlcino contains
no nlcohol, whlbky or other intoxicant,
and no opium or other narcotic In Its
composition.
A GREAT TRUTH.
The action of P-, Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery Is strictly scientific.
The cause of collapse or neivous pros
tration is usually not that enough food
Is not consumed to provide adenuato
nutrition for the body, but that tho
stomach and allied organs of digestion
and nutrition have become so weaken
ed that they cannot extract the nour
ishment from tho food provided and
distribute it to the various organs In
proper proportion. It Is tho same with
sleep. Nature Is very elastic She
will accommodate herself to a man's
habits. But tho troi'ble with tho men
whesa stomach is out of order Is that
his sleep is restless, broken by dreair
and does not refresh him. The Hi
thing that "Golden Medical Dlscovc
does is to "straighten out" the st
ach. It begins by cleansing it f
impurities. It carries this clean?!
operation on to thf blood which lu
been corrupted by the foul stomach
It carries away the waste and poison
ous matter which feeds disease. Sldo
by sldo with this cleansing process a
strengthening process goes on. The
stomach with tho organs of digestion
and nutrition strengthened and en
abled to perfectly extract tho elements
of nutrition fromi the food provided
The action of the blood making glands
Is Increased and the body enriched by
more blood and pure blood. With tho
strength thus obtained the body
throws off disease and regains a condi
tion of robust health. The proof of ih
strength restoring power of "u ji.
Medical Discovery" is evidenced bj
fact that It half a million cases it
cured ninety-eight per cent, of all
have used it.

From tho London Telegraph
In his native home tho polar boar
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dainties. The consequence Is that
Bruin has to devise many curious wajj
of securing his food, and none aro more
strange and Interesting than that r
Uteri by two trustworthy traveleis It)

hlglltS.
They have known tho i olar beni t

height, as a cliff or a precipitous leu
hill, to hurl tho missile down upon tho
head of a walrus ar enormous biute.

so stun him that Biuln cculd rush In
find complete the destruction at his
leisure, thus scorning a month's ra
tions The most useful food of the Ice bear,
ns tho German) very appropriately call
this beast, Is tho common h.-il cf the
nictte regions. The latter Is the wari
est animal of the north, nnd ooth Es
kimo and polar bear need their best
strategy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
Is off the ice of the ocean shore and
Islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the Ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick lco to tho
water below, nnd into which they can
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up
as near as he deems safe, and then be
gins crawling on his wary prey.
Tho seal, If the weather be sunnv
and pleasant, takes short naps, rellev"
ed by shorter moments when It is scan
ning the vicinity for signs of an ene
my's nppioach. During theso times
the bear is very quiet nnd as still as
death itself, with eyM apparently
closed, though really a corner of each
Is kept open, and In this way he hopej
the seal will take him for a heap of
snow, an appearance which his coat
readily helps him. to assume.
During tho naps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, accord
ing to his nearness to tho seal and con
sequent fear of being Iienid or seen.
When but ten or twelve jards away,
and the seal Is In tho depths of a good
nap, the bear rushes upon him, and
with a single blow of his powerful paw
Knocics tne smaller uruto senseless and
so far away from the hole that he can
not escape bv that way, even If the
blow received is not Immediately fa
tal. In winter tlmo the ico Is covered
with snow, and this Is hollowed out by
tho seal Into a snow house, covering
tho hole In tho Ice and connecting at
the top of tho dome w Ith an aperture
about the size of a shilling, called the
blow hole, for It is through this that
the seal breathes when he is in want
of fresh nlr.
Hero tho brnr watches for many a
long hour, It nectary, and when tho
snorts of the seat nre heard ho crush
