EVENTS OP DAY IN WESTSCRANTON WILI THE ROUND WOODS BE COME A PUDLIC PABKP That's tho Qucstiou That Arjltatcs tho Public Mind at tho Present Time Ocneral Opinion That tho I'rlco Asked Is Too High Man At tempts to Stop a Street Car Call ages by Yesterday's Storm Other Paragraphs of General Interest. The proposed figure by which tho city can uaiulro tho Hound Woods for a public park Is considered to be exceed ingly high by ninny people residing In West Scranton. The price asked, $33, wO, Is more than half of the purchase prlco of the entire tiact of land. The wood Itself Is only twenty-two acres, while the entire truct comprises ninety-three ncres. The sentiment Is that the plot should be donated to tho city by tho pur chasers, which would be the means of assuring tho residents of West Scran ton that a park would be made of the grounds, but that It would also mate rially assist the land owners In dis posing of their lots to prospective pur chase: s. The question of public parks has been o thoroughly discussed that the nec essity of the Hound Woods Is too well known to warrant a repetition of the arguments In its favor. If Mr. AVatson and the gentlemen Interested In Its Improvement want to honor themselves and the city of Scranton they will do nate the Hound Woods for paik purposes.

EXCITING EXPE1UENCE. Conductor Grant Keller, of Petersburg-Luzerne car No. 1C, had an excit ing experience while making the trip to tho central city shortly before 10 o'clock last night. At a point on Lu zerne street two Polanders hailed the motorman to stop the car and Just as the car reached the men one of them stepped In front of It and was knocked sprawling Into the street. The car was stopped and the man picked up, but he was uninjured save from the effects of tho shock he sus tained by the fall. When the car reaehpd the Intersection of Franklin and Lackawanna avenues, the man at tempted to stand in front of an ap proaching Peckvllle car, but was pulled away by his company. In a maudlin tone the fellow mum bled something about the car trying to run over him, but those who witnessed his antics were convinced that the man was a lit subject for the police or an Insane asylum. The life of a street car conductor Is anything but pleasant. To be courteous and kind Is the aim of a majority of them, but when such pas sengers are encountered it Is enough MltS. EVANS1 DEATH. Tho sudden death of Elmlrn Evans, tho wife of George W. Evans, has thrown the family Into much grief. Shn wns taken 111 Tuesday evening and passed away Thursday evening befora 8 o'clock.

The heavy storm last evening again played havoc with the Hyde Park ave nue pavement. The bricks have Just been placed in position nnd have not been cemented yet, nnd the water com pletely Inundated the pavement be tween Lafayette street and Jackson street. The storm on Wednesday did con siderable damage, and many of the bricks had to be replaced. The extent of last night's damage will not bn known until the Inspector makes an examination today. Several of the cais operated by the Traction company were crippled dur ing the storm, particularly the double trucked vestlbuled cars on the Wash burn street line.
