and instantly killed nt 11.1" o'clock
last night by a, Scianton bound Belle-Mie-Stone

at the corner of Plttslon avenue and
Hlckotv street.
It was coming down Hickory strfo.
at a fair late of bpecd when .suddenly
It stiuck a nian'3 body.
Befoic the car could bo stopped, the
Int. 1 1 form had been diagged several
ards, and when extiieated fiom un
der the wheels, presented a teulblj
appeal ance. Tho entlie body was fcat
fully mangled, the flesh belns liter
ally torn off, and the bones crush 3d
and shattered. Blood streamed firm
eveiy part of the fiamo, and the
man's head was almost seveted fia-Tl
the body. A crowd Immediately path
eied, but In the dark no one could
lecognlzo the features of the unfor
tunate man.
One member of the crowd was sen:
for Undertaker Cuslck, who sent Ins
ambulance to the scene, and the bodv
was taken to the undertaking estab
lishment. A hat worn by the man had In It tho
Initials M. P. A young man named
Got don, who lives on the South Side,
and had entuied In, on seing tho
man's face Imedlately said:
"That's Mike Pun ell. I'd know his

twenty, and boatded with his btoth

ago he left their employ and has since
vvoiked In Clarke Brotheis stote.
Neither Conductor Benett nor Motoi
man W. K. Welnlng, of the car, can
give any satisfactory account of the
way the accident happened. They say
that If he had been standing he would
have been lifted directly on the fend

SCRANTON IS PROOF
AGAINST BIG STORMS
i '
SO OBSERVES WEATHER OB
SERVER H. E. PAINE.
In nn Interesting Discussion of tho
Weather for the Year Just Closed
He Expresses tho Conviction That
This Particular Valley la Safe
from the Insurslons of the Big
Storms Despite the Dry Spell in
the Summer the Total Frcclpita
ticn Was Above the Averag?.
Theic are those of nn observing turn
of mind who contend that the jear
Just closed was one of the drjest In
tho memory1 of the oldest Inhabitants,
but despite throe observations and the
fact that small water companies had
to draw on tho laiger ones for their
supplv, nnd thnt water trains, for tho
first tlm. on lerord, wero run up and
dov n tho sallev, It wiu not only not
a 'I'.ioughl" j ear, but wetter by some
three-quiiteis of 1 per cent, than tho
average year In this end of tho coun
try. So, at least, sas Weither Observer
H. K. Paine, and he gets his lntoi ma
tlon ftom obseivnllons made dallv
with nppaiatus furnished by tho gov
ernment. The precipitation In Ufn vv.ih "4 V.
Inches. In isns It was 3109; In 1JT
It was 33 C3, and In lSid It was 31 :.s.
The average precipitation for the four
years was 33 CI, or .74 less than It wis
last ear.
PUHCIPITATION BY MONTHS.
The fact that there was a diy spell
when water was most In demand is ac
counted for by the following table,
showing the pieclpltatlon bv months:
.lanuaiy, J 13: lVbiuirv, 4 -0, Match,

will bo noticed, v. as in a, laigo measute

usuul sh.it o of wet In the winter and
consequently i.m horl In the summer.
The natural subteianean water cours
es and tho artificial suiface reseivolis
filled up and ovei flowed and then sur
plusage was discharged and went Its
way to the ocean.
This prodigality, coupled with the
fact that the precipitation for n cer
tain locality does not vary as to Its
aggiegate, eplalns the apparent ano
maly of a severe di ought In a. ear
when tho precipitation Is above the
av erage.
The temperature, Mr. Paine finds
was 1.31 degiees lower than the aver

RKCOIID BREAKING MONTH.
Last month was a record breaker.
Tho total snow fall for the thirty-one
days was only l1- Inches. This Is the
smallest snow fall In a December
month tint Ml. Palno has any recoi 1
of and he has been Keeping tibs on

Tho maximum tcmpuatuie of tha

Yesterday It was above 7ero. The
month was chxiacteiled by a very
even temperatute, gt owing gradually
colder and colder until the ptesent
zeio weather was reached.
Mr. Palne's observations has led him
to tho conviction that Scranton Is
impregnable to heavy general storms.
Tho two gteat stmm centers are
the Carrlbean sea nnd the legion about
Manitoba. All kinds of cyclones and
blizzards start fiom those points anl
head in this direction, but they Invar
ably pass us by. The storm from tho
equator will bo predicted to create
seiious ruction In Eastern Pennsyl
vunla, but the btoim always falls
shott of the piedlitlon by the dis

Now Jersey will be deluged with tain,

disposed to remove Mr, Wagner, there
is a question as to their power to do
so, considering his nppolntment made

HARRIS' REMARKS
ARE CONDEMNED
LAWYERS DON'T LIKE HIS RE
PORTED UTTERANCES.
Deny That There Is Any General
Rate Cutting and Say the Proprie
ties Are Rigidly Maintained by
the Members of the Local Bar. At
n Meeting Held Saturday Resolu
tions Were Passed Which Express
the Sentiment of the Members of
the Lackawanna Bar.
Nothing In eais has occurred to so
stir up tho members of the Lacka
wanna bar as Attorney John M. Hat
rls' icpoitrd otitic Isms at the meeting
of tho State Har association com
mittees In Pittsbutg, as told In Sntut
daj's Ttlbttne.
With scaicely an exception the law
is who hive expiessed thcmselve-i
condemn the speech ns unwarranted,
uncalled for, and highly Indiscreet.
That thete is any general late cutting
or that the propiletles aro not llgldly
maintained among the members of tho
piofcsslon Is emphatically denied.
Thete may be some Isolated Instances
of rate-cutting, the lawyers say, but
It Is not such as would vv at rant Mi.
Hatrls In making the sweeping asset -tlon
ho did, even If it was made at
home and to a pin pose, Instead of
the manner In which It was made.
Tho general Indignation aroused by
the reading of the press dispatch ct.vs
talbed In a set ot lesolutlons, adopted
nt n specially convened meeting of the
dlrectoisof tho bar association Satui
day afternoon.

John ji. llirils, a member ot this bar,
at u niectliu of the genei il committors

the wlllltgnrss or ability of the couit
ot this county to properly punish un
worthy numbers ot the bar, the ulrcctors
of the Lackawanna Law nnd Library as
sedition, which Is tho only associated
body of the membeis of tho bar of the
lounty, place upon their minutes the fol
lowing action:
Wo leillze that It would bo unjust to
Mr. Harris to net upon mcro telegraphic
reports of statements alleged to havo
bren tnide by him, et tho widespread
publlcltj of the report makes It neces
saiv that somo nc lice bo taken of It,
and thus nsumlnp, without piejudico to
him, thut ho Is ccrrectly reported, wo
n plv that the association has a most ex
cellent and efficient board of tensors,
composed of tho following members of
tlio bai : W. W. Lathrope, Georgo S,

and Joseph O Uilen. This boatd of cen
sors his lever refused or hesitated to
piomplly take up and thoroughly purniie
anj clu tms made rgalust un member

courts been neglectful of their duty In
tills matter, but linve nlwavs been quick
to rebtiko nnv breaches of professional
pioprhtv committed In their presence,
ind to ussi mo Jurisdiction of any com

charges and action upon such chaiges
have ever born neglected.
STAND AP.D IS HIGH.
We further state out conviction that the

In this county Is qulto equal to that of
