PITTSTON NEWS.
Struck Dead by Lightning Tho.
Street Commissioner Explains,
What the Storm Did About tho
City An Important Fishing Trip.
All the Latest Local News in and
About tho City.
At noon yesterday a severe thunder
storm passed over this city nnd wns
particularly severe In tho tipper end
and In Hughestown borough, In tho
latter placo an old building was struck
by lightning, but tho rnln which came
down In torrents qurnched the blaze
before It had an opportunity to do
much damage. Severn! trees which
have stood the storms of years were
blown down nnd many of the fruit
trees wcro stripped of their crops,
while gardens wero totally destroyed,
fp nn Everhnrt's Island a plcnlo was
In full bloom, but tho suddenness of
the storm caught tho merry-makers
before they could reach shelter and
they wero thoroughly drenched nnd
the pleasures of the day abruptly end
ed. In tho city some of the cntch bas
ins could not accommodate tho volume
of water that rushed down Mnln street
from the Intersecting streets on the
Enst Side nnd the whole whlto winged
fraternity had a busy time of It for tho
balance of tho day In removing the de
bris from these receptacles. The as
phalt was treated to tho best clean
ing It has received In many a day and
most of the rubbish and filth In the al
leys that escaped the notice of the
health officer was washed Into tho sew
ers. The funeral of tho youngest child
of A. J. Hughes, whoso death occurred
on Monday night, took plnco yester
day afternoon nnd the remains were
Interred In tho Market street ceme
tery. In conversation with Street Commis
sioner Carroll last evening The Tri
bune man was Informed- how It comes
nbout thnt the portion of Main street
between Parsonage street and tho Le
high Valley crossing Is unpaved with
asphalt and in its present horrible
condition. This Is on account of the
report of viewers appointed by tho
court In making their appraisement of
damaces In favor of tho property
holders at tho bend of the road. The
amount wns fnr In excess of what the
council wished to appropriate for the
Improvement and hence tho matter has
been allowed to remain In statu quo.
For Instnnce, the owners of the old
pottery building were allowed J4.000,
where one-fourth of that amount
would have been a good figure. Tho
amount granted to Patterson & Com
pany was about on tho same ratio
and the viewers favored a large al
lowance to tho Newton Coal company
for the old ramshackle trestle that
spans the street, where Instead the
company should be paying the city for
tho trestle's existence. Be this as It
may, there Is no excuse for the city
allowing this portion of our only thor
oughfare being In Its present condi
tion. The contractors who tore up tho
street when the sewer was laid should
havo been compelled to place It In tho
same condition as It was before this
work was commenced. Portions of the
street where tho excavations were
mnde sunk a foot or more In some
places below the grade, while the cob
ble stones nre moved about by tho
general traffic and the entire stretch
of the roadway between tho two points
mentioned Is both unsightly and dan
gerous. How tho council overlooked
this matter when they inspected the
streets of tho city Is ono of tho con
undrums that periodically come to the
surface. It Is certainly the business
of tho street commissioner to do some
thing to nbate the present nuisance
Since the days of the old Thistle
band, tho residents of this city have
missed tho regular open-air concerts
that were given by that excellent musi
cal organization. We have one band
yet, but it is seldom that It Is seen
upon our streets, and then only when
they are. on their way out of town to
fill an engagement. This fact should
not be. Wo have more musicians In
this city than wo have ever had before,
and there Is no excuse to offer why we
should not have one of the best musi
cal organizations In the state. It is
hoped that before long that some capa
ble artist will select from thti;nany a
number sufllclently large to give us a
first-class band, and that the people
will then support It.
John F. Boyle and sister, Helen, are

A largo number of West Side resi
dents nre summering at tho Wyoming
camp ground, distant about five miles
from this city. Many have erected cot
tages on the grounds, nnd tho place
which only a decade ago was a wilder
ness is now quite a village, with sev
eral hundred population, with nil tho
advantages and accommodations of
nny well regulated town. Mnny of our
business men, who have removed their
families to this healthy resort, come
over each morning nnd return after
business hours on bicycles and the 'bti3
from the Wyoming depot.
The funeral of Mrs. Connery, sister
of Peter Burke, who died on Tuesday
last, will occur this nftcrnoon.
During the storm yesterday after
noon the lightning struck a house In
the rear of Dooner's hotel, on the back
road between this city and Avoca, and
wrecked it. but did not set It on fire.
Even tho furniture and crockery wero
shattered to pieces, making tho prom
ises 11 total loss. Fortunately, there
was no one nt homo when tho storm
camo up. An electric bolt also struck
the west side of the Lehigh bridge at
Coxton and traveled along tho entire
length of tho structure, but without
doing any material damage. The trol
ley cars running between here nnd
Wllkes-Barro experienced considerable
difficulty, as the fuses In severul of tho
cars were burned out.
At C o'clock another storm, accom
panied with hailstones of considerable
size, arrived, but no damage Is re
ported. The Caledonian club cleared $170 at
their last annual games on Evcrhart's
Island, which Is a matter of much en
couragement to the society, ns this
year they tried tho experiment of
chnrglng no admission.
