UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
Wore a Shirt Bearing tho Laundry
Mark "McK" Was Run Down
by n D. & H. Train.
An unknown man, terribly Injured,
was discovered shortly after 11 o'clock
last night lying alongside the north
bound track of the Delaware and Hud
son railroad between Mulberry and
Linden streets. He had evidently been
struct by the Cnrbondale train which
leaves the Delaware nnd Hudson sta
tion at 11 o'clock.
The man was still alive, though un
conscious. His head wns terribly
crushed In over tho left temple nnd
the left arm nnd hand were terribly
mutilated. The right side was unin
jured, showing that he must have been
struck on the left side.
The two Lackawanna trainmen who
found the man signalled the crew of
the 11.30 Wllkes-Barre train, which
wns Just then backing out, nnd the
injured man was taken on this to the
Carbon street crossing and the Lacka
wanna hospital ambulance was sum
moned. This arrived In a few minutes, but
the man died just as it arrived. In or
der to thoroughly satisfy himself,
however. Dr. Welsenberg, the surgeon,
took him to the hospital, where It wns
positively ascertained that he was dead.
The body was then removed to Cuslck's
undertarflng establishment on Wash
ington avenue.
The only marks of Identification on
tho body was a shirt with the laundry
mark "McK" on It. The man appeared
to be about 33 years old, was about 5
feet eight Inches tall and weighed
about 140 pounds. He wns evidently i
mine worker, on account of the cut
nnd calloused condition of tho hands.
The hair was close cut and light brown
In color, with a slight mustache of an
even lighter shade. Tho clothes con
sisted of grey striped trousers and x
black sack coat, with a white laundrlcl
shirt. Ho wore neither collar nor
necktie.
The body was at first Identified by
Frank Dougherty as that of John
O'Hnra. n laborer for Miner Henry Mc
Hale In the Sandy Hanks mine. Mc
Hnle was aroused nnd came to the
undertaking establishment, but stated
positively that It was not O'Hnra, whom
he described as being more stocklly
built and looking entirely unlike the
dead man. ITp to the time of going to
press the body was still nt Cuslck's
undertaking rooms.
It Is thought by many that the man
lived In Pine Brook and wns on his
way home. The tracks are very dark
and are considered especially danger
ous at this point. Dr. Welsenberg says
that the fact that the man lived after
being struck Is wonderful, as the Injury
to the skull was sufficient to instantly
kill an ordinary man.
CHILD BADLY BURNED.
Was Playing with Pire nnd Cloth
ing Became Ignited.
The little four-year-old daughter of
Thomas Barron, of Throop, was most
frightfully burned about the face, body
and limbs yesterday morning by the
accidental setting on fire of her cloth
ing. The little one was playing In the
yard with a stick, which she had held
In the kitchen stove until one end was
blazing, and was amusing herself
watching the flames as they crept up
the atlck.
In some manner the ilamcs caught
the Inflammable dress of the child nnd
before assistance arrived from a man
who heard her cries, the face and body
of the little one were badly burned. Dr.
Jacobs, of Throop, was soon on hand
and relieved his little patient some
what from her sufferings. Tho parents
live In hope that the accident may not
prove fatal.
The accident seems nil the more hard
to the family, as the father was taken
very 111 nnd removed to a hospital In
Scranton the day before.

A nnn-sult, with a, rule for a new
trial, was directed to enter yesterday
In the ejectment ease of John L. Hull
against B. A. Hill and othera.
Tht suit was brought to secure pos
session of the store looms In the Ken
nedy & Carter bulldluff, occupied by
Hill & Connell.
HOW THE CASE ORIGINATED.
The plnlntlff Is assignee for his broth
er, Stephen P. Hull, who leased the
store October 1, 1303, for five years and
failed after being a tenant a little more
than six months. When the assignee
sold off the goods he wanted to relin
quish the deed, but the owners of the
building refused to grant n. release.
As time Vent on and tho monthly
payments of rent did not occur, tho
owners leased the store to Hill & Con
nell. They had put In n claim for five
years' rent from Hull, and tho auditor
who was appointed to distribute the
funds of the assigned estate allowed
their claim.
Thereupon Hull, the assignee, made
a demand for the rental that enrne
from Hill & Connell, but was refused,
on the ground that It was by no act
of his or the Hull estate that the build
ing wns prevented from belnp left
empty, nnd further, because the terms
ot tho lease with, Hull, a deftult In.
payment of tho monthly rent made the
whole rental for five years due and
payable at once. This projected the
ejectment suit.
Judgo Archbald ruled that tile plain
tiffs had not established a case nnd
granted a non-suit.
The Jury In the case of Mrs. Mary
Darrett against John Palmer, which
retired at 3 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, did rot reach nn agreement un
til 11 o'clock tho next morning. They
stood eight to four for the defendant
until that hour, when the four turned
over and allowed the twelve to get
homo for Thanksgiving dinner.
Verdict Against Carbondale.
A verdict of J1.E0O for the plaintiff
was returned In the case of Mrs. Mary
Tlmmlns against the city of Carbon
dalo. In grading Ninth avenue the
city appropriated a 2x24xl.r0 foot strip
ot Mrs. Timmlns' lot, and also raised
the ptreet six feet above the level ot
tho rear part of her lot. The city
claimed the Improvements enhanced
the value of the property beyond the
worth of the land taken.
One of the jurors, Francis McKenna,
was not on hand at tho opening of
court, when the Jury nsseniblcd to
make Its report, and after waiting un
til 11 o'clock, Judge Archbald directed
Sheriff Pryor to bring him In. A de
puty was about to start out In search
of him when ho came In.
In May, 18'JS, a commission declarsd
that . A. Brown was Incapable of
managing hVs estate, a half Interest In
a property at the corner of Penn ave
nue and Spruce street, valued at $12,500.
Exceptions were filed to this report
nnd vesterday the Issue was placed be
fore Judge Archbald and a jury. No
defense was oftered and the finding of
tho commission wns nulimed.
A verdict for the plaintiff in tho sum
of I250.7u was directed In the case of
Leaner & Sons' Rope company against
tho Hussel H. Coal company. No de
fense was offered.
By agreement of th" parties a ver
dict for the pHlntlff In the sum of
$121. r.G was directed to enter In the eass
of the Merchants' National bank

PROP. COLES POR DECEMBER.
During the past three months all of
the great planets have been grouped
together on one side of the heavens, In
consultation as It were, laying plans
for the great meteorological new cen
tury schedule that wll co Into effect at
the commencement of tho coming new
century, January 1st, 1900; and we
have reasons to believe that It will
contain many new and destructive
storm combinations: frightful appear
ing electrical displays; sudden and se
vere earth tremblings; strange and
startling heavenly phenomena; wrath
ful and wreckful water wavlngs, nnd
unprecedented meteorological convul
sions. The great planetnry conven
tion now In session will close Just af
ter the great nnnl act, which will take
place on the 16th Inst.; when Neptune,
Earth, Saturn, Sun and Moon will
form Into one line, and watch the deep
shadows enshroud the Moon In dark
ness. This same scene occurred some
Ave thousand years ago and will not
occur again In seven thousand years.
Whether this great planetary conjunc
tion nnd moon eclipse will cause earth
quakes and kindred phenomenn, or
peaceful and quiet conditions of the
earth and the atmosphere remains to
be seen.
AMERICA, AROUSE!
December Btarts In on a "High
Flood" day and the whole month will
be ruled by the "High Flood" vital
forces, In America. This situation will
afford a great opportunity for all busi
ness men In America to make business
hum! but In order to do this they must
have an unbounded amount of culti
vated confidence In each other; for the
first aspect of thu moon forms will bo
a parallel to Saturn. This Is unpleas
ant and unfortunate and will cause
the general health of the people to fall
below the average; cereal markets to
fluctuate; speculation to be dull, and
every one to lack confidence. From the
4th to the 16th will be the best time to
start new enterprises; and ns Christ
mas falls upon a "Low Ebb" day In a
sign far removed from the Influence of
Jupiter, our financial planet, we advise
all business men to throw out their
Inducements so as to bring In the bulk
of their Chrlstmns trade on or before
Saturday, the 23d Inst. A merry Christ
mas to all.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Judging from the numerous flatter
ing testimonials that we received last
year endorsing our "Valuable Infor
mation" department, In our forecasts,
It was greatly appreciated; and wo
again give the best days to kill pork,
beef, fowls, etc., for the holiday trade.
The best days will bo the 1st, 2d, 8th.
9th, 27th, 2Sth, 29th nnd 30th. Killed
at any time between tho 20th and 27th
the meat will be soft, strong and un
wholesome. The ISth and 19th will be
two good strong days to kill for Christ
mas purposes; and the 27th, 2Sth, 29th
and 30th for New Yenr. Beware of
Saturday, the 16th, as the planetary
conjunctions and moon eclipse on that
day will make It unfortunate for both
man and beast. Tho strongest and
best days for surgical operations will
be the 1st, 9th, 14th, 19th and 2Sth.
Avoid operations on nny of the "Low
Ebb" days, as marked upon our Storm
and Sign Calendar. The best days for
fishing or hunting will bo the 2d, 7th,
9th, 14th, ISth, 20th, 28th and 30th. Fish
or game killed at any time between the
20th and 27th will not be good for man
to cat.
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Our prediction, "that the great plan
ets all being on one side of tho heavens
during the last months of the Nine
teenth century would cause the mag
netic and electric Junctions to form
over the ocean where they would
ground without much atmospheric agi
tation," proved true. And that was
the reason why we warned our readers
last month and again warn them this
month "to watch out for a great storm
of stupendous dimensions that Is liable
to Jump up out of the ocean, In the
near future, and sweep down upon us
with unprecedented fury." An east
wind or clouds running up from the
southeast, will be the warning signal.
The regular storm periods this month
will be due between the 4th and 8th,
the 11th and 14th, the 16th and 20th,
the 22d and 25th and the 27th and 31st.
Tho last storm period may extend far
south nnd do much damage. After the
great planetary conjunctions have
passed, on the 16th Inst, unprecedented
reactionary storm period will surprise
us all, especially during the months
of January, February and March.
Great floods and blizzards will be al
most sure to follow after these conjunc
tions, for at least three months. Watch
the moon eclipse on the 16th Inst.

THEATRICAL.
"Tho Village Postmaster."
It is very evident that plays after
the fashion of "Way Down East," "Tho
Old HomeStPnil" nnd "HVinro Arm"
have become something of a fad nnd
tins largely accounts for tho reception
given "The Village Postmaster" wher
ever It has nppeared, Like the other
Plays mentioned, It Is a picture ot rural
life In New England and Is as equally
amusing as any of them. It Is a pure
and sweet story ns a portrayal of vil
lage life nearly fifty years ago, It Is
quite Interesting.
"Tho Village Postmaster" will come
to the Lyceum Monday evening. The
title role of Seth Hugglns, tho post
master, Is ndmlrablv nortraved liv
Archie Boyd, the great character come
dian, tiio play will come here Intact
Identically the same as It was produced
In New York!
Tho Shea Engagement.
At tho Academy of Music next week
Thomas E. Shea and his company will
play their annual engagement In this
city.
The "Man-o-War's Man," In which
ho will open his engagement, Is one of
tho strongest plays In Mr. Shea's reper
toire. It Is no wonder that this Is so,
because tho play has all the elements
which contribute to a popular success.
Thero Is enough of strong, healthy ex
citement, stirring scenes and. thrilling
Incidents In tho piece to furnish ma
terial for half a dozen plays. Tho prin
cipal Inteicst, of course, centers In the
hero. Captain Jack Conway, Imperson
ated by Mr. Shea.
Hose Sydell Company.
One of the best burlesque shows on
the road today will be at the Gaiety
theater Monday, Tuesday and Wed

Rose Sydell, who is ns charming as
ever and bright ns a lark, Is still the
leading burlesque star of the company.
She is surrounded by a lot of bright
and pretty girls, with splendid scenery
and elegant costumes.
"Courted Into Court."
"Courted Into Court" comes to the
Lyceum for one performance on Tues
day night, upon which occasion local
theatergoers will have their first op
portunity to pass Judgment upon what
has been conceded elsewhere as the
most laughable farcical comedy con
cert which has yet emanated from tin
pen of John J. McNally.
A few of the fetching things prom
ised In "Courted Into Court" are nu
merous negro melodies of an up-to-date
character, together with other
songs which have not yet obtained up
to the present time In other companies
visiting. Unique specialties also punc
tuate the performance rather profusely.
