Now Presbyterian Church of Gulf Summit Freed from Dobt by a Sin gular Scheme County Sunday School Convention Ho -Got tho Job Flushes of News Hero and Thero About Susquehanna County. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, Va April 22. Abram "Wadsworth, of Cascade, was a f-al-lant veteran of tho civil war. He fought for three years In the 177th Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, and came home llrst sergeant of his corps. He was proud of his discharge papers, and Instead of framing them ho car ried them upon his person, in a cellu loid case. Three years ago the case and contents suddenly disappeared, nnd Abram mourned and could not be comforted. Ho felt tho loss more severely because ho needed tho pa pers In order to secure a pension. Last week three of Abram's cattle were nttacked with tuberculosis, and they wcro killed. In exploring the etomach of one of tho cows, to ilnd further traces of disease, the veterin arian discovered, among other things, n pocket rule, a quantity of nails and buttons, part of a sliver watch case, a pocket compass, a harness buckle, a tiny hymn book, three thread spools, some tape, tho handlo of a shaving brush and tho celluloid case contain ing Wadsworth's dlschargo papers. Abram thinks he lost tho case while baling hay in his barn. In some man ner it fell into tho mow, and it was fed to the cow. Today Abram is the happiest man in all the Cascade sec tion. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. The new Presbyterian church at Gulf Summit has just been freed from debt. The building fund was com menced by the pupils of the Sunday school, which met In a school house, paying fifty cents each. The adults then decided that they ought to begin by paying a dollar each. They agreed to furnish a rhymo telling how tney earned tho dollar. An Irishman, an Krle track laborer, sent in a dollar, with tho following: "I earned this dollar on the track;whcn wc build our church I want it back." Kdltor Samuel P. More, of the Great Bend Plalndealer, has gone south, ac companied by Mrs. More. The health of the able and genial editor Is not of tho host. If Bro'r Haines, of tho Honesdalo Independent, can be taken as good authority, the Wyoming conference of the Methodist church Is in possession of a very robust ring. Perish the thought!

There Is a unlvcrsil demand that the old lime custurn of calling the Scrinton team the "Slin'ra" be dropped and some new and befitting title be stowed. So fai, among the names suggested are "The Pilgrims," "The Electrics," "Burtiham's Beauties," "lluinham's Colts" and a few oth ers. Dillon, the foimer Seianlon first baseman, Is a disappointment, accord .ig to tho writers of that city. Wilkes-Barre Recoid. That is indeed news. Frank Dillon In all the piactlce games played this season by the Pittsburg team, has neen one of the bright paitkular stars, and the Pirate scribes have been haling 1,1m us a Fred Tenney, Jr. In the two icgular games played he showed up as stror.gly as any man on the team.

J. O'Brien, who In view of his having played throughout last season with Pittbhurg, will have to be dubbed "Pirate" O'Brien, to distinguished him from J. J. O'Brien, the shortstop, and W. 11, Moll worthy. The last named pla3er haa Ju.t been sl,ned and can ,play either the Infield or out field.

New York, April 21 The stock market took on an appearance ct general liquidation before the conclusion o( the Saturday shoit session. Stocks wcro thrown over in large blocks and the whole list broke badly, the general lango of prices of the most prominent active stoiks tailing to a level from 1 to 2 wlnt( under last night's close. In many Instances the losi exceeds those figure s. There was a sharp break in all the Iron indus trials on the opening transactions. It readied 4 points in Steel and Wire and nearly that In others. The general list Rave way In sympathy but met with powerful support. The steel stocks rallied with the rest of the market on covering by shorts. But It soon became evident that the support accorded the marlrct was simply tii af ford an opportunity for icallzlng. Liquidation set in on a large scale. Stocks which have been "bulled" had the heaviest work and the slump on aeocunt of speculative profit taking, .Missouri Pacific and Baltlmote and Ohio were In that class, the former falling 3 and the latter 2. Declines reaching up to 2 olnts were numetous all through the railroad and industrial list and In several stocks execded that. The bears were dis posed to cover en the appearance of a favorable bank statement, but the rally rencwTd the press ure to liquidate and prlco. fell to the lowest. Among the steel stocks the extreme declines were: Steel and Wire 6, Federal Steel S, Steel Hoop, preferred, fi, Republic Steel, prefrred J'-a, Steel Hoop, National Steel and Tennessee Coal ;, losses elsewhere In the group ranged from 2 to 2. There were some spasmodic rallies on the taking of quick profits by the bears but activity and general weakness continued up to the close.. Total sales, 417,200 sharrs. The liond market has not kept up to the full level of activity and strength hut strong points have persisted In all week.

JUialV : Xn. 1 Hnr .-.l Jonas Long's Sons Observations Walking around the store with both eyes open, one sees many things of passing and noteworthy interest. The main floor is abloom with Springtime richness. Here, there, everywhere, are the pretty things that add to attractive dressing and. comfort during the heated term. Have you observed the new Mercerized Foulards in the Dress Goods store ? Quite a novelty and exclu sively here. Thirty-seven and one-half cents the yard, though they're worth jo cents. But one of the many pretty things you'll see in this corner. The captivating Millinery blinds us with its extrava gant beauty. It is the charming spot of enthusiasm in the store, while the new things for dress and street wear, close by, vie with the hats in comeliness and beauty. The Men's Tailoring store is a new adjunct to this business. Making Men's Clothes to order at legitimate prices is its mission though it does not lose sight of the fact that style and cut and fit are worthy of first consideration. A sea of Furniture covers the entire fourth floor, and what a busy place it is. There is nothing for the home, the office or the studio that does not find its place in the stock. We're tired now. Let us to the Restaurant for din ner. Here is home-cooking of the most pronounced type; home-made pies, rich spring delicaciesevery thing to make the table attractive. Largely visited Yes, because a quarter pays for the dinner. We might interest you for hours in the store sys tem the painstaking efforts to serve you quickest and best; the energetic and prompt method of delivery; the freedom of the store to all comers at all times; the lib erality of our money-back policy when satisfaction is not manifest; the careful and considerate attention to your wants, whatever they may be.

Tho funeral of the late John Yates, whose death occurred last Thursday, took placo yesterday afternoon, interment lieing made in littston cemetery. In the Luzerne county court yesterday, Stanley I'abules, of Puryea, who had been convicted of felonious wounding, having stabbed his victim slxtei-ii times, was sentenced to the full penalty of the law, $100 tine, the costs and seven years' imprisonment. The judge, in passing sentence, said It was the most vicious case that has ever come under his notice. The Pennsylvania Coal company has a force of men at work rebuilding the Yatesvlllc dam, which burst owing to a flood several 'cars ago, and has not been used since. On Saturday morning about 2 o'clock a mine cave occurred along tho Lehigh Valley cut-off, opposite the Butler breaker. The west-bound track sank a distance of two feet and the east bound track about fifteen Inches, the tracks being affected for a distance of ninety feet. A short time after the cave occurred a fast west-bound freight came thundering along, and passed over Ine trucks at tho cave, but, strange to say, the cars kept tho rails. One of the brakemen was standing on the top of the freight cars as they liaised over the sunken tracks, and, by the surging of the cars, was thrown to the ground. His scalp was badiv cut. Trains were delayed for several hours while repairs wcro being made, the Jury in the case of Timothy Dougherty, of West Pittston, jesterday returned a verdict of acquittal. Dougherty was accused of run nlnlng a "speakeasy." At the trial he acted as his own attorney, cross-examined the common wealth's witnesses, testified in his own behalf and mado a half hour's closing speech to the jury. Ills ilefense was that he sold only cider and that the beer taken to the house was for the use of his boarders. His dosing speech was of a humorous nature and evoked an almost continuous roar of laughter from those present during its vllvery. William New hart, ot AVct Pittston, was called as a witness, but was not present at the time and the judge had an at tachment served on him, Saturday he was taken before the court, and In explanation of his ab sence said that Dougherty's wife had given him money with which to get drunk, and told him that ho neejl not' appear at the trial. He was sent to Jail tor five dajg for contempt of court. Captain Clarence U.
