THE SCRANTON TRIBUNI3-FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1809. V . EVENTS OP DAY IN WESTSCRANTON NECESSITY OF A PLAYGROUND SHOWN DY EXPERIENCE. LIcutennnt Williams Interviewed on the Subject nnd Some Practical Suggestions Made Street Fakir Cut Short in Ills Dealings Grant Kellar Slightly Injured Reporter Storms Narrow Escape Death of Mrs. Georgo W. Evans Other Matters of Local Note. "In looking n round for public breath ing places," s.ilrl Lieutenant Williams to The Tribune man last evening, "the boaid of health should not overlook the ilot of gtound on Washburn street, near the nlr shaft, which at present Is utilized ns n base ball grounds. "Theie Is scarcely a dny passes," he slid, "hut that from two to six games of ball nie played there and It prac tically demonstintes the necessity for a public playground for the rising gen eintlons. Complaints are received al most dally about boys playing ball In the stieets and bienklntr windows nnd doing other damage, but dining the two j eats that the young men have been pel mltted to use the nil shaft giounds not one complaint has been licai J. "I am hcaitlly In favor of the Hound Woods for u public park," continued the lieutenant, ' but I think a public pIagiound Is ns gieat n necessity as the woods While the latter would undoubtedly benefit hundreds of people 111 the low ei section, the fouuei would nllevlate the suffcilngs of thousands In the congested districts of the Fotltth and rifth waids. "If the Washburn stieet plot was puichased by the city the grounds could bo lilted up for nthletl" purposes and benches supplied for the tired motheis nnd chlhlien to lest In the cool of the evening In the open all." FAKIR CLOSED UP. LIcutennnt Williams Is nothing If not original. Last eenlng a fuklr estab lished himself at the coiner of Jack son stieet and main avenue and pie pared himself to shell out a lot of cheap pocket Knles lo the unsuspect ing public. When the blue coat ap proached the fakir and asked him to see his license he pioducod a penult from the city tieasurci for one day's jnlv liege to el goods. Now Mi. Williams believes in pin tecting the merchants who pay i put and taxes for the pi h liege of doing business on Main nenue and consul eied Mi. FaKli an imposter nnd quietly moved him down on Scianton street alongside the Mears building. Meantime he looked up the stntute pertaining to .such cases and satisfied himself that the fellow's one dav li cense must be a dead lettei.
