MEETING OF WOMAN'S CLUB.
Chief Feature a Paper Prepared by
Dr. Dlmful.
The economic section of tho Clreen
ItldKo Woman's club hold a fortnightly
meeting yesterday which was well at
tended. Tho chief fenturp of tho pro
gramme was a paper m Spared by Dr.
Dlmful, of tho International Corre
spondence schools, relating to wator
and Its dancers. It was scientific In
naturo and contnlnod much Instructive
and Interesting matter.
The writer did not consider thnt
water had been proved as belns the
source of ns much danger as has some
times been asserted, but still recog
nized grave legibilities In the con
tamlnat oi from certain sources, par
ticularly with regard to typhoid.
Dr. Alfred Mercer, of Syracuse, N.
Y., also made an address. He
Is a former member of the
New York state board of health
and cave a valuable talk, In the
course of which he stnted that In Hyru
cme the water supplv Is controlled by
the city, Is fitted with icsldcncc meters
which cost the worklnp men about -15
a year for tho water used in his family.
He Is strongly In favor of the meter
system, but then, ns tho ladles ex
plained, he does not llv In Scranton.
Tho remainder of this session was de
voted to discussion. The question of
the wicked lead pipe was taken up
and so much excitement was caused
by the remarks concerning tho danger
In school buildings, where water stands
eighteen hours In the pipes, that It was
decided to make a piotest to tho
board of control. The remedies offered
nro Iron pipes with galvanized lining,
or a practice of allowing the water to
run continuously during the hours
when tho schools are closed for tho
night. All sit these suggestions would
be expensive If applied.
The Providence Water company was
also discussed. A committee has vis
ited the upper roservolr.known ns Sum
mit Lake, and tho members of that
committee have returned with tholii
noses held high In the elr, as tho re
sult of what they consider extremely
filthy conditions at that rural resort.
A mass meeting will be held this
evening, when many nldreses will be
heard and the subject cf water will be
thoroughly discussed.

Wife Went to Prison.

resisting manner.
Mabey claims that the shooting was
entirely an accident and that he only
meant to frighten his wife.
Opinions differ as to his condition.
To some he appears to bo perfectly
sano and rational, while others main
tain that he is to some extent unbal
anced. DELBERT SMITH INJURED.

CORPSE SAID HELLO
TO UNDERTAKER
MAN SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD
PROVES VERY MUCH ALIVE.
John 0. Davis, of Keyser Avenue,
Who Apparently Died Suddenly
Last? Night, Is Found to Be Alive
by Undertaker W. C. Price Cor
oner Roberts Called to Invostln;nte
Death but Was Tardy in Going Bo
cause of Mysterious Manner of
tho Man Who Summoned Him.
"Hello, Price, what do you wnnt
here'"' Is the salutation Riven tho well
known South Main nvcnuo undertaker
nt 11 o'clock last night by a corpse
which he was about to prepare for
burial.
Tho word "corpse" is used advisedly,
too. It was not a caso of mistaken
identity, but nn lnstnnro of a man be
coming quick after ho hnd been re
ported as a "sudden death" to the cor
oner, and after his relatives had en
gaged an undertaker to lay him out.
At 10.55 o'clock last night Coroner
Iloberts opened his office door to dis
miss n patient and found standing In
tho vestibule nn unknown man, who
had on heavy cloth nprshocs and a
striking- look. Tho fact that ho had
not rnppcd and seemed a little startled
when the door was suddenly opened on
him cnused the doctor to view him
with suspicion, nnd It was with soma
hesitancy ho Invited him to enter.
DAVIS IlRPOrtTFD DEAD.
After being1 motioned to a sent the
stranger asked, "Ate you tho coroner?"
Receiving- an affirmative answer he
went on to pay that John O. Davis, of
227 South Keyser avenue, had Jut died
suddenly, nnd ho hnd been asked to
step In nnd tell tho coroner.
Tho doctor said he would go over
directly. Tho stranger asked which
way the doctor Intended going. Tho
doctor sild ho thought he would toko
the Washburn street car, ond nhked
the stranger If he was also going that
way. The stranger replied that he
was and tho doctor remarked that they
could go together. When asked his
name the stranger said It was John
Morris nnd Indicated the Morris fam
ily to which he belonged, some mem
bers of which the doctor knew Inti
mately. When the doctor nnd Morris emerged
from the office the latter lolned two
men who wero standing near the gato
and whispered something to one of
them when the doctor was believed to
he looking away. The doctor didn't
like tho looks of things and resolved
that if he went to Keyser avenue at
all It wouldn't be in the company of
that trio.
Making an excuse that he had somo
urgent business up town the doctor
bade his callers ndleu, after giving
them the Impression that ho might
drive over Instead of taking the car.
Morris asked the doctor If he wouldn't
please telephone to John Loverlng's
in Greenwood and tell them about tin
death, ns Mr. Davis was Mts. Lover
lng's step-father. The doctor com
plied and found that the Loverlnga
had already heard of tho death and
Mr. Loverlng was on his way over
to Keyser avenue.
CONFIRMATION FROM MINOOKA.
This re-assured the doctor somewha.
but ho decided to take no chances and
went up town to Davis' drug store.
He was relating the matter to Drug
gist Davis when Undertaker FrlM
dropped in and Interrupted him wPh
a better story. Mrs. Loverlng hnd tole
phoned to him from Mlnookn to go So
Keyser avenue and prepare the body of
her Step-father for burial.
He went there, ascended to the up
per floor where tho corpse was lying
In bed and had Just thrown down tho
coverlet when up spoke the corpse, as
related In the opening paragraph. The
undertaker took his leave before the
expected commotion ensued. He want
ed to get some air and a cup of strong
coffee. Druggist Davis fixed him up

Ho attributes this latter negligence
to tho men returned from tho lato war,

FUNERAL OF MARTIN M'KENNA
Man Killed on tho D. & H. Burled
Yesterday Afternoon.
Martin McKcnnn, the Dunmorc min
er who was killed Friday night on tho
Delawaro and Hudson railroad trucks,
was burled yesterday. The funeral
took placo from tho deceased's resi
dence at 2.30 o'clock In tho nfternoon,
services being conducted at St. Mary's
church.
Tho funeral cortege then set out for
Mt. Carmel cemetery, where the body
was Interred. Tho funeral procession
was a long ono, a great number of
friends of the deceased being present.
Among othcis, two societies of which
McKcnnn was a member. They Were
the Ancient vriler of Hibernians nnd
Mine Accident Fund association. Over
two hundred men from these organiz
ations were present to do their dead
brother honor. Six pall-bearers bore
the body, three being chosen from each
association.
AN EARLY MORNING FIRE.
Considerably Damaged tho Krotosky
Building nt 300 Lackawanna
Avenue Origin a Mystery.
A fire broke out eatly yesterday
morning at about 345 o'clotk In the,
three-story brick building nt SOD Lack
awanna avenue, owned by Krotosky
Erothers. The blaze had gained con
siderable headway when discovered by
a passerby and smoko was pouring
from the upper portion In volumes. An
alarm was turned in from box 13, at
Fenn and Lackawanna avenues, and
all the Ccntial City companies re
sponded. Tho fire started on the rear of tho
second floor in a room occupied by D.
M, Cohen as a tailor shop, and was
eating Its way up Into the gallery of
Photographer Cramer, en the third
floor, when the fltemen arrived. Mr.
Cramer was asleep on the third door,
but fortunately was awakened by tho
smoke and escaped. The. b!a?e was
extinguished nfter about a half hour's
hard work on the part of the firemen,
but not until it had eaten its way
down Into the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company's office on the ground floor
and badly dnmnged the photogtaph
gallery.
Tho contents of tho tailor shop were
completely destroyed. Mr. Cohen could
not be scon yesterday, but It Is known
that his loss Is fartlally covered by in
surance. Mr. Cramer estimates his loss
at about $700, entirely covered by In
surance. The loss of the Lehigh Valley
compnny was caused principally by
water and will not exceed $50. Kro
tosky Erothers place tlielr-loss at be
tween $1,000 and $1,200, entirely covered
by Insurance.
While the origin of the fire Is rather
mysterious, tho most plausible theorv
Is that somo ashes containing live coals
wero carelessly dumped In a bin of roal
In tho taller shop, causing the coal to
burn and In turn Ignite tho woodwork.
A large amount of ashes found among
the coal tends to lend color to this
theory.
MUGGINS COQGINS ARRESTED.
Taken Into Custody By Police Offi
cials on Suspicion.
About midnight Patrolman Feuster
and Porter entered the Center street
police station nnd ushered In Muggins
Cogglns, who halls from Uellevue. Ho
Is a well known character in police
circles and was arrested last night
while trying to dispose of a pared,
made up of several articles of cro-chc-ted
and knit work, in a saloon at
Fenn avenue and Linden street. He
took to his heels when ho saw tho
policemen, who, however, succeeded
In capturing him.
It Is believed that the articles were
stolen, but this Is vigorously denied by
the prisoner. For a long time after
ho had been Incarcerated In ono of the
cells he spoke loudly and bitterly, giv
ing an elaborate and forceful speech.
He acclaimed his Innocence In strident
tones, spoke of tho inherent spirit of
honesty coursing1 through his veins,
nnd then suddenly burst Into a pa
thetic strain, speaking of his home and
mother. From this ho rambled on Into
a discourse descriptive of the grandeur
of the Cogglns family In general, and
Muggins Cogglns In particular. He
clinched Ms masterful effort by a gen
erous offer to eat his own hat If what
he said was not true.
MICHAEL MALONEY ARRESTED.
Charged by His Wife with Assault
and Non-Support.
On Nov. 29 Mary Moloney, of 635
Kim street went before Alderman
Howe and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of her husband, Michael Ma
loney. She charged him w Ith non-support,
assault and threats to kill.
It took some time to capture Mich
ael, but yesterday he was arrested In
a house on New street, where ho was
boarding. Ho was taken before the
alderman and there placed under $300
bail. He had left his wlfo for over
three months and ha will have to an
swer to tho charge In court.
