HANGING FROM A TREE.
Body of John Riley Found on Clover
Hill.
John Rllej, aged 53 ears, was found
hanging to a tree on Clover Hill, In
the Third ward, late yesterday after
noon. He was dead, and appearances
Indicated that the man had committed
suicide several dais ago. The discovery
of the lifeless body was made by James
Gllhooley und Walter Smith, of Wales
stieet, who were out In the woods
searching for a stiay horse. The bos
reported the find to Patrolman Saltiy,

police station and also to Coioner
Itoberts Riley was a hostler by oc
cupation nnd for some time past had
been employed ut Bernaid McGieevy's

fit of despondency, due to excessive
drinking, Riley wandered off Into the
woods and took his life. Coroner Rob

phone to the Noith Scranton pollco to
cut tho body down, which was done at

USED KNIFE
AND HATCHET
Mrs. Weathers Tried to
Kill Herself and
Her Children,
INFANT'S NARROW ESCAPE
She Hacked the Tin oat of Her Flve
Y ear-Old Daughter with n Knife
nnd Then Turned It Against Her
Own Throat, Afteiwards Beating
Herself on tho Head with a
Hatchet Made an Effort to Strike
Her Infant Child, but Her Strength
Failed Her from Loss of Blood Be
fore She Could Reach the Bed.
Mrs. John Weatheis, icsldlng on
Llovd street, Just above .Summit ave
nue, made a dcspenito but fortunately
unsuccessful attempt vcstcula) morn
ing to kill hoi two young chlldicn and
ti end her own life.
Both heisclf and the eldest child are
now lvlng In the Lackawanna hospital
seriously Injuied as the icsult of this
attempt,
Mis. Weathers nnd her two chlldicn
llo In a small two-room house or
shanty on Llovd street, and were ap
parently In the most abject poverty.
Tho oldest child Is a girl named
Maty, Just 5 veais old, while the
oungest Is an infant In arms only
about 10 months old.
The liusbniul was emplo)ed up to
last week as a laborer ut ono of the
North Scranton mines and was a man
of dissipated habits,
Accoidlng to the testimony of the
neighbors, he ubiibcd Mis. Wcatheis
shamefully and was last week at test
ed for assaulting her.
He was held In ball, In delault of
which he was committed to tho county
Jell, where he Is now awaiting the ac
tion of tho giand Jury.
Since his an est Mis. Weather has
been very despondent
DAUGHTER'S SVORY.
According to the Btory told by Mary,
who, despite her age, Is a very bright
and Intelligent child, Mrs. Weathers
sent out for some beer yesterday morn
ing and drank consldciable of It.
She says that about 11 o'clock her
mother locked tho door of the back
room and, picking up a table knife
from the table dellbeiately hacked at
her (Marv'B) throat.
The mother, the little glil says, then
cut herself In the throat twice with
the knife and, picking up a hatchet,
stiuck at her head with It. She then
ran towards tho bed on which the In
fant lay, with the hatchet In her hand,
evidently with the intention of brain
ing it. Tho child says, however, that
as she reached the bed she fell over
on It helpless, piobably fiom loss of
blood.
Mary, though bleeding badly fiom
the wound In her tin oat, rushed next
door and told Mrs. A. Buchta, who
lives there, what her mother had done.
Mrs. Buchta accordingly sent her son
at top speed after Dr. J. B. Coiser,
and hurtled Into the house heiself.
She found Mrs. Weatheis l)Ing on the
bed next tho Infant, vvhlcr- was liter
ally covered with blood from her
wounds, but was uninjured.
WOUNDS DRESSED.
Di. Corser arrived a few minutes
later and dressed the wounds of both.
There were two slashes upon the wo
man's throat, both about three Inches
long and very deep, but neither veiy
dangerous. Her stalp was also badly
lacerated where she had struck it with
the hatchet.
The little girl's cut was more seri
ous and she had an exceedingly nar
iow escape fiom death.
The cut on her throat Is thiee In
ches long and Just misses by almost a
hall's bicadth, the jugular vein, the
sevetanco of which means an Imme
diate lots of enough blood to cause
death almost .it once.
Later In the day both mother and
child weie removed In the ambulance
to the Lackawanna hospital, where
they are now resting.
The hospital surgeons say that both
will lecover. Mrs. Weathers Is lying
In a sort of stupor and has said noth
ing about the affair whatever.
It is thought that she must have
been In an Intoxicated condition when
she committed the awful deed.

SCRANTON TO HAVE
A WEATHER STATION
OBSERVER AND ASBISTANT TO
BE LOCATED HERE.
It Will Bs Installed on Top of Some
High Building and Dally Observa
tions Will Be Taken It Will Be
Established Heie Aftor July 1.
Congressman William Connell and
Secretary Atheitop, of the Board
of Tiade, Deserve Credit for This
Important Adjunct.
Through the effoits of Congressman
William Connell and Sccictaty Dolph
B. Atherton, of the board of trade,
Scranton Is to have, ufter July 1, p
meteorological station.
Secretaiy Atherton lerelved a letter
yesterday morning from Mr. Connell,
stating that the lccommendatlon of
Chief Mooie, of tho weather bureau,
that a weather station be located here
had been favorably endorsed by Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson, and that
the official older for the establishment
of tho station will go Into effect on
July 1.
For over four years Mr. Atherton has
been in correspondence with Mr. Mooie
upon the matter. It having always been
a pet hobby of his. Tho project re
ceived the hearty endorsement of Mi.
Connell, nnd the citizens of this city
owe much to him and to the board or
trade for this iccognltlon by tho agri
cultural department, as It places Scran
ton In the same class with New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Bos
ton and other large cities where
weather stations aio Installed.
Hcictofore this city has only been
what Is known as a signal station,
where weather flags weie displayed
and records kept of tho tempertaure,
talnfall, velocity of wind, etc. As soon
us the station Is Installed, however, an
experienced observer, an assistant nnd
a corps of clerks will be located on tho
top of some high building and dally
observations will be taken. Maps will
bo printed and sent out giving com
plete weather data, and Scranton will
be noted upon nil official weather re
ports sent out fiom Washington.
It required a great deal of diplomacy
to put the matter tlnough, for If some
of the other congressmen realized that
Scranton was to get a weather station
they would have Immediately sent In
urgent requests that their dtsttlcts also
be allowed stations. Congressman Con
nell Is a member of the sub-committee
on agriculture, which reported
favorably on the apptoprlatlon bill pro
viding funds for the establishment of
the station, and ho rendeied most valu
able service In securing this favorable
report.
Agents of the weather buieuu are
expected here In a few weeks to make
arrangements foi the location of the
station, and It is expected that there
will be a deal of rivalry as to which
building It will be established upon.
DOES JUSTICE DEMAND THISP
Regrettable Imprisonment, if Her
Story Is True.
Because there was no one at hand
possessed of $200 and a little compas
sion, Mis. Jane Connelly, aged fifty
one, of Ferdinand street, the mother of
fourteen chlldien, and who besides Is
raising four grandchildren, was sent to
the county jail last night to await trial
on a charge of assault and battery,
preferred by her husband. Aldeiman
Meyers committed hei.
Her offense, It appears, consisted of
thtowlng dishwater on her husband.
