SEEING REAL SERVICE.
Interesting Letter from First Lieu
tenant Thomas P. Murphy, of the
Forty-seventh Regiment.
In a letter to a friend here, First
Lieutenant Thomas P. Murphy, of the
Forty-seventh infantry, now at Legas
pl, in the southern part of the Island
of Luzon, writes that his battalion has
been almost constantly engaged since
Jan. IS last, suppressing the Insurgents
in the Province of Alby.
Ho bays In reference to the fighting
that "we got all we were looking for."
On January 23 they took the town of
Alby after a lively encounter, in which
sixty of the enemy were killed and
many wounded, and two days later the
town of Donaga was taken. The
American loss in these two engage
ments was one killed nnd seven
wounded.
On the night of February 2 and 5,
the enemy attempted to drive them out
but failed and the attempt cost the
Filipinos one hundred" lives. The
Americans lost three killed and seven
wounded, including two officers.
On February 9 and 12 In engagements
nt the town of Tobaco seventy-seven
of the Insurgents were killed and many
wounded, while the Americans had
only one man wounded. Since January
18, Lieutenant -Murphy says his bat
talion alone has killed or wounded not
less than a thousand of the enemy.
The other two battalions, ho says, are
doing about the same work.
Speaking of the campaigning Lieu
tenant Murphy says: "Of course It Is
exciting but some times It Is a little too
much fo, especially when they come
after you on a very dark night.
"You know those fellows are Just the
color of night and when they surround
you and closo in with a yell, which Is
the most tenlble ky-yl I ever heard,
your blood, I tell you, commences to
rreep. After you find where they arc
nnd get to shooting at them It Is all
light. But the minutes on such dark
nights us they pick out to do their
work (-eem like houts. They can't
stand to have them old Krags going
Into them and I don't wonder a bit at
their scattering."
In concluding, he says he thinks the
lighting In that province about over
with. His company, at the time of
writing, March 1, was at Donaga, and
he was acting as police officer of the
post. HIh sole duty was to ride about
town overseeing the work of the details
nnd compelling the natives to keep
their places clean.
WORK STARTED ON NEW WARD.

terday at Lackawanna Hospital.
Work was yesterday started on the

The sod was cut Monday for a dis
tance of about fifty feet on Mulberry

feet on Franklin avenue. Yesterday
tho work of digging was started by a

man Meyer. Five teams were em

DAMAGE DONE BY
YESTERDAY'S STORM
DOWNPOUR OF RAIN WAS EX
CEEDINGLY HEAVY.
It Was Accompanied by a Great
Electrical Displny A Number of
Places Were' Struck oy Lightning,
but No Very Serious Damage Was
Done Service of tho Scranton
Railway Company Badly Deranged
by tho Storm Sowers Unable to
Carry Off the Freshet.
The terrific rain storm which swept
through here yesterday afternoon, with
Its accompaniment of hall, thunder und
lightning, did a vast amount ot dam
age throughout the city, all the street
car lines being more or less affected,
nnd several residences being struck by
the lightning.
Telegraphic communications of tho
Delaware and Hudson railroad were
crippled, but none of the cars of tho
road were at all effected by the storm
and all arrived In time.
The residence of Joseph Summers, on
Short avenue, near No. 21 school, was
struck by lightning about 6 o'clock last
evening. The bolt struck near the
chimney and, passing through the roof,
entered a second lloor bed-room and
then passed through tho first lloor to
the cellar, A large-sized hole was
made In tho celling nnd a good deal of
plaster was torn away by tho bolt
passing through. It nlBO struck a bed.
which was torn to pieces and sot in
flames. At still alarm was sent In, to
which the North Scranton companies
responded and quickly extinguished the
blaze. The entire damage will proba
bly come to about $200.
RESIDENCE STRUCK.
Mr. Merrlman's residence, on San
derson avenue, was also struck by a
bolt of lightning, but the current lucki
ly followed a metal pipe down the side
of the house and into the ground and
as a result the house was but slightly
damaged.
A house belonging to Mrs. Dunkerly,
of 314 Meridian street, was struck by
lightning and slightly damaged.
At Olyphant the house ot Seth "Wil
liams was struck by a bolt, which, en
tering through the chimney, tore the
plaster from the wall and burned a
large hole In the floor, also shattering
a number or dishes. A house belonging
to Domlnick Howard, on Dunmore
street, was also damaged, a large por
tion of tho siding being torn off. The
houses of Hugh O'Boyle and Mark
Williams were also struck by lightning.
In Green Ridge the soweis proved
entirely too small to carry off tho sur
plus water and as a lesult the streets
were Hooded. Last Summer the Dick
son nvenue merchants threatened to
sue the city for damages caused by
just such a storm as that of last even
ing. On Meridian street, in West Scran
ton, the Smithing and Joseph Ansley
properties were badly damaged by the
water from a defective sewer, the
water standing from one to two feet
deep in the barns nnd out-bulldlngs.
CARS DAMAGED.
Tho Scranton Railway company suf
fered considerable loss, six cars being
totally disabled and between fifteen
and twenty very badly damaged. The
lightning struck the cables In a large
number of Instances and the fuses
were burned out and the machinery
thrown out of working order, while tho
cars wore frequently thrown off the
track. Tho "West and North Scranton
lines were particularly affected.
The signal lights all along the line
weie damaged, also, In many stances
the boxes being torn off the poles, from
Eynon street to Taylor this being espe
cially so. Every thing will be remedied
by this morning, however.
For the first few minutes after the
storm bioke tho downpour of rain was
very heavy. It was accompanied by
a generous sprinkling of hailstone.
THE ELKS' STREET FAIR.
It Will Be One of the Greatest
Events That Scranton Has
Ever Witnessed.
The monster street fair and carnival,
under the auspices of the Scranton
Elks and the Rostock Midway com
pany, at Washington avenue and Ash
street, piomlses to bo a first class
thing fop the Electric City.
Specinl days will bo set apart for
the different fraternal orders, for or
ganized labor, school children, and
there will be band and other con
certs. Tho police nrrangements will
lnruro the best order on the grounds
and absolute safety for persons and
for property. Tho grounds will be
thoroughly lighted by electricity In
the evening.
It is eatlmntod that at least 100,000
persons from the surrounding terri
tory will visit the fair and exposition,
and special arrangements for cheap
fares are being made with the sev
eral railroad companies.
The committees are working night
and day to make the affair a success,
and the general opinion among those
who ought to know Is that tho com
ing street fair nnd exposition will bo
ono of the grandest things that Scran'
ton ever w tnccsed.
The following communication has

THE HOME RUMMAGE SALE.
Rooms Thronged with Purchasers
All Day Long.
The rummage sale for the benefit
of tho Home for the Friendless con
tinues to keep up in Interest. The
rooms are thronged with buyers. It
is remarkable that people are able to
find articles to replenish tho stock
dally. This is the third rummago
sale in ns many weeks, and all have
been conducted with the most flatter
ing success. Everything contributed
Is most gratefully received. There Is
a long felt want apparently for shoes
and men's clothes. The people who
come to buy want articles which do
not demand the service of a needle
and thread In any capacity.
Many comical situations constantly
assert themselves In connection with
tho sale, and the visitors of nil classes
find any amount of amusement when
ever they enter the rooms at 313, or 309
Spruce street. All contributions are
requested to be sent to these numbers
or If communication Is made 'by postal
or telephone to any one connected with
tho Home for the Friendless, a car
riage will be sent for such donations.
PRISONERS AT WORK.
Results of the First Day Are Very
Satisfactory Men Are Making
Repairs on Newton. Turnpike.
If tho first day's experiment at work
ing county jail prisoners on the public
roads Is to be taken as a criterion the
project is destined to be a success.
The prisoners were not only willing
nnd anxious to go out In the gang, but
when put to work labored so faith
fully that It was not necessary to give
them the slightest urging, and not even
tho suspicion of an attempt to escape
was noticed.
One of the squad, too, was a pilsoner
who at one time skipped Jail and was
re-captured. A one-armed prisoner
was taken along as water-carrier.
He went about at will without being
guarded and at almost any time dur
ing tho day could have gotten away
and safely beyond Immediate pursuit.
A foreman and two guards accom
panied the squad, but their orders were
to avoid as much as possible any
thing that would savor of espionage.
When the men were landed at tho
road where they were to work, Super
visor A. B. Dunning told them they
were to be treated as ordinary work
men and not as members of a chain
gang, and that there would be no au
thority exercised over them except to
direct their work as long as there was
no direct occasion for exercising
any other authority.
Tho men were then sent with wheel
barrows Into tho Briggs' farm to haul
stone to the road preparatory to break
ing It up for macadamizing. At noon
time they were fed from large lunch
baskets filled at the Jail before the
departure in the morning. They were
given plenty of substantial food and
hot coffee, and, as an extra Incentive
to good conduct, Warden Simpson sent
along a big box of tobacco from which
the men could help themselves at will.
Not ono ot the twelve but what seemed
to regard the outing In the natuto
of a holiday and frequent expressions
to that effect were heard.
The squad was conveyed to and from
the jail In two dirt wagons which are
to be used In the work of road making.
They were attired in the ordinary over
alls and Jumpers of laborers and there
was nothing about their appearance
to Indicate they were convicts. On
the way over the wagons were halted
several times by Idle men who wanted
to be taken along and given a day's
work. They supposed It was a gang
of laborers going to work for sonio
contractor.
Six moro men aro to be sent out
today and later another half dozen will
be added to the squad. Twenty-five
pilsoners answered Warden Simpson's
first call for volunteers, and some of
those who were not allowed to go
seemed very much disappointed. Ons
of the disappointed ones told a run
ner to tell Simpson that if he wasn't
allowed to go out with the work squad
he wouldn't stay at the blamed In
stitution any longer.
The piece of road being worked Is
the stretch of the old Newton turnpike
from the forme.- toll house to the city
line at WIcklzer's quarry. It Is to bo
graded, macademlzed and guttered,
and the work Is to be done In a sub
stantial and thorough manner. H.
C. Hale Is foreman, and Robert Allen
and Henry Loftus uct as guards. The
latter Is substituting for H. F. Ferber,
who Is 111.

FAITH CURISTS ARE
HELD RESPONSIBLE
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY
IN THE NEWELL CASE.
Jury Met Last Night in the Court
House and Coroner Roberts Ex
plained That tho Woman's Death
Might Havo Boon Averted Had
Medical Assistance Been Secured.
Jury Holds Mrs. Clara S. Boyd,
Mrs. Ilehart and the Woman's
Husband Responsible.
The coroner's Jury empannellod to
Inquire Into the death of Mrs. Lydla
B. Nowcll, whose body was disinterred
by Coroner J. J. Roberts at the request
of her parents, met last night in the
arbitration room of tho court houso,
and decided upon a verdict holding
the woman's husband, Mrs. Clara S.
Boyd and Mrs. Ilehart directly re
sponsible for her death. The full text
of tho verdict Is as follows:
"Wc, the undersigned Jurors ompan
nclled to Inquire Into tho death of
Mrs. Lydla 13. Newell find that said
death was caused by septic peritonitis,
and wns the direct result of neglect
on the part of Mrs. Clara S. lloyd,
Mrs. Ilehart and Rev. C. F. Newell.
We further find that the two former
were moro culpably negligent, Mr.
Newcll's wllllngncss'to provide assist
ance exonerating him to a certain ex
tent. We also deprecate the practice
of faith curists."
THE TESTIMONY.
The Inquest proper, It will bo re
membered, was held last Friday night,
when a number of witnesses, Includ
ing the three nersons blamed for the
woman's death, wero examined. Cor
oner Roberts testified last night before
the Jury that ho had made a post
mortem examination of tho remains,
and told of tho condition he found.
Blood poisoning, he said, was the
cause of Mrs. Ne well's death. No prac
ticing physician, no matter how little
he knew, would think of leaving Mrs.
Newell in tho condition which resulted
In her death.
Though Mrs. Boyd persisted In say
ing at the inquest that she didn't
have charge of the case, the Jury
were evidently led to believe thnt she
was, on account of tho letter written
to Mrs. Newell from the headquarters
of the Dowle faith In Chicago, advis
ing her to have some Godly Zlon wo
man In attendance when the child was
born. The supposition is, of course,
that Mrs. Newell sent for Mrs. Boyd
as a "Godly Zlon woman," and the
fact that the latter called after Mis.
Ilehart to accompany her tended to
confirm this supposition.
MRS. BOYD'S ADMISSION.
A fact that also had great weight
with tho jury was Mrs. Boyd's admis
sion that she was formerly a physi
cian, the theory being that she must
have therefore had knowledge of the
danger to Mrs. Newell.
Mrs. Ilehart testified (in Friday night
that she had been prestit at the birth
of the child and had cut the umbilical
cord. She was present for four days
after the child's birth also, and the
jury probably thought that she should
havo called In medical attendance. Mr.
Newell was blamed for not summon
ing medical aid, he having testified
that he believed In physicians.
Rev. Gldton Hammond, of Philadel
phia, an elder In the Christian Catho
lic church, of which Mrs. Boyd is a
member, is In the city to look after
her Interests In case she is prosecuted.
A Pleasuro and a Duty.
I consider It not only a pleasure but
a duty I owe to my neighbors to tell
about the wonderful cine effected In
my case by the use of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I wa1? taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A
few doses of It effected a permanent
cure. I take pleasure In recommend
ing It to others suffering from that
dreadful disease. J. W. Lynch, Dorr,

approaching Hahnemann hospltnl fall,
to bo held on Thursday nnd Friday ot
