A Burglar at Elmhurst Had a Very
Narrow Escape.
Another attempt vras made early
yesterday morning to break Into tre
shoe store of Cooper & Co., at Illm

had been fired by a man who was

into the shop.
The store was burglarized last Sun
day night and about $30 worth of shoes

mysteilous stranger.

KEMP'S STUDIO
BATHING POOL
WOULD SAVE LIVES
THAT IS THE OPINION OF COR.
ONER ROBERTS.
During tho Inquest Last Night in
tho Case of James Daly, Who Was
Drowned in the Roaring Brook, Ho
Said It Is a Shamo That This City
Has No Placo Where People Can
Bathe with Proper Ptotectlon and
Surroundings Verdict That Was
Returned by the Jury.
Moved, no doubt, by tho fact that
two Uttlo lads had met their death
this week from drowning, owing to a
lack of proper bathing facilities, Coro
ner J. J Roberts last night, In ad
dressing a coroner's Jury In tho case
of little James D.itey, said that In no
city In the countiy was there such a
Bhocklngly low state of public opinion
on this question ns In this city.
"It's a shamo," said he, "that this
large, Influential city, has not place
wheio tho children und older people
may batho with snfety. Some people
may consider that a child's life Isn't
worth very much but 1 consider that
It Is woith just ns much as a grown
person's.
"I have this week seen tho bodies of
two little boys who have been drowned
In the Roaring Ihook, nnd I have been
veiy much affected by It. I think that
the city should provide a swimming
pool with a competent paldinstructor
In charge who could teach children
how to swim. If councllmen or park
commissioners don't want to build
such a place, the people should In
sist that one be constructed."
Last night's Inquest In the case of
James Daley was conducted in the
nibltr.itlon room of the court house.
Tho only three witnesses sworn were
John Nallen, William Lyons and
Thomas Flaherty, the thteo oung
men who went to tho scene and helped
take the boy's body from the water.
The coicner said that young Lyons
was deserving of a mednl for the
prompt and heroic wav In which ho
dove Into the water after the body.
"The city should create a fund for
the purchase of medals," said he, "to
be given persons who risk their own
lives In an attempt to save tho lives
of others."
It appears that the water In the
dam In which the boy was bathing Is
heated at times by tho waste water
coming from the blast furnace. The
coroner's theory Is that the boy, while
bathing In thli warm water, suddenly
struck a spring of Intensely cold water,
thus causing a cramp. The jury
brought In the following verdict:
"We, the undersigned jury impanell
ed to Inquire Into the dentil of James
Daley, find that said death was caused
by accidental drowning, and we urge
upon tho park commissioners tho
pressing need of the Immediate con
struction of a swimming pool In Nay
Aug park, that the children of the
city may have n safe place to bathe
in."
An Inquest Into the death of Jacob
Rauner.the other lad who was drowned,
was conducted yesterday afternoon In
the omce of Alderman Lentes, In South
Scranton. The Jury found a verdict
that the boy came to his death as
the result of the accident and suggest
ing that means bo taken lii-tho fu
tuie to protect more fully the lives
of children who go bathing.

mittee of the board of control met last

sor William Schlmpff, of the High

WANTS CITY TO
BUILD BRIDGE
D. W. Vaughan's Plan to Settle Bou
levard Dispute Believes City
Should Have Its Own Road.
Select Councilman Vaughan, of the
Nineteenth ward, believes that the
only way out of the Elmhurst boule
vaid dltllcultv Is for the city to build
a load of its own In Nay Aug paik and
a new bridge aeioss the falls. With
this end In view, he will Introduce a
resolution at the next lm-otlns of
select council, referring the matt"! to
the parks committee in conjunction
with tho city engineer for considera
tion. In the first place, Mr. Vaughan stated
jesterday that he doesn't believe the
proposition of the Doulevard company
to sell Its right of way through the
park and Its bridge to the city for $17,
D00 should be consldoied.
"Now, to start out with," ho said
jesterday, "I don't think that bridge is
safe. The lro columns on which It Is
supported lest only on the natural
rock and not upon a regularly con
structed foundation. Many persons
competent to Judge have said the
bridge Is unsafe.
"I believe that the city can, and
should, construct a road of Its own
through the park entirely separate
from tho Boulevard company's road.
It could stait from Arthur avenue, a
few feet this side from whete the pres
ent boulevard starts, and could run
along the side of the embankment or
cliff about twenty feet above the pres
ent boulevard.
"My plan Is to construct a pretty
stone bridge or culvert across the falls,
about twenty-live feet above the pres
ent bridge, and to let the road connect
with this and run up to the old rail
way bed on the other side of the park.
Uy this means we would have nothing
to do with the Boulevard company's
road and we would have a road of our
own through the park. That's the best
solution of the whole difficulty.
"I believe that this road and bridge
could be constructel for consldeiably
less than $17,500, which the Boulevard
company wants the city to pay It for
Its right of way and Iron bridge. Walt
till we get this thing talked up In
councils."
CYCLONE IN MONROE.
Damage to Property by High Winds
Narrow Escape of Jacob Gans.
5-pcclal from a Stall Correspondent
Sttoudsburg, June J9. A small cy
clone struck this county last evening.
The fetoun was especially strom? In
this town and East Stioudsburg. Many
trees and fences were blown down and
several had a narrow cheapo from ser
ious Injury. The storm was accom
panied by a fierce w Ind and came up
veiy suddenly. Tho storm passed over
the river at the Water Gap Into Now
Jersey. Reports from the west end of
the county received show that tho
storm was severe in that section.
Trees were uprooted and fences were
blown down In large numbeis. The
fnct that little or no rain fell saved
the Stroud"burg crops. Between Mo
lliemy and Saylorsburg the storm was
especlaly severe. So thickly was the
road covered with trees and fences that
the supervisor had to get a foice of
men to open the road. At Ebbort a
laige spruce -tree was lifted up and
hurled some feet away by the violence
of th wind. At Water Gap, Shawnee
and other villages many trees were
blown down,
Jacob Gans, a merchant of this town,
had a narrow escape. The wind lifted
a cupola of the Kltson residence on
Main street, nnd whirled It within an
inch of Gans' head. A peach tree In
the garden of James Davis was blown
down, just glazing Mrs. Davis In Its
descent. Phones and electric light
wlies were blown down In several
places.
