Scranton Pa. iotsys g SEVENTH ANNUAL OLAM BAKE Locomotive Engineers Will Enter tain at Lnko Toyntelle. Tho chief topic of conversation Cur ing tlio past few weeks among nil railroad men, as well as their friends, who have been bo fortunate In the pnBt as to havo attended the annual clam bake of the George W. West dlvHlon, No. 403, lirothcrhood of Loco motive Engineers, Is this year's clam bake, which Is to bo held at Lake 1'oyntollo tomorrow. Few pcoplo who have not hereto fore attended these affairs can realise what n teal clum bake consists of. Tho engineers have always had the name of having the finest bake ever given In this part of the state, nnd this year Intend to surpass every ef fort heretofore made by them. They have nccordlnglnly secured the ser vices of Ward Edwards, of New York city, to take charge of the affair. As the Now York state and New Jer sey brothers intend sending delega tions, arrangements have .been made for special train servlco for them. An idea of the bake can be gleaned from the fact that an order for 1,000 pounds of chicken, one hundred thous and clams, twenty barrels of sweet potntoos and 1,000 bluo fish was re cently placed for the occasion, a spec ial refrigerator car being used to transport the order to the lake. The special train bearing the ex cursionists from tho city and sur rounding towns will leave the New York, Ontario and Western station at 8 a. in. Another train will leave Scranton at 10.40 a. m. BRUTALLY BEAT HIS WIFE. She Was in the Hospital and He Is in Jail. As the result of beating his wife with a stove raker, late last night, John Datnpsey, of 17 Capouse avenue, spent the night in tho Central Police station, and will be given a hearing in police court this morning, nnd Mrs. Dempsey had her Injuries, which con sisted of several cuts on the head, and bruises about the back and shoulders treated at tho Lackawanna hospital. Dempsey has been arrested on sev eral previous occasions, for Inhuman ly beating his wife. Last night he drank more than was good for him and nbout 11:30 o'clock began to abusp his wife. lie begnn by swearing at her, and calling her vile epithets and then proceeded to beat her. He used an Iron stove raker, and Mrs. Dempsey screamed loud In pain. Her cries of agony woke up several of the neighbors. They rose, dressed hurriedly and went to her assistance, only to find tho door of the house locked. In answer to their cries to open, all they could hear was the dull thud of blows, and the groans and cries of Mrs. Dempsey, mingled with the oaths and curses of her husband. Patrolman McColllgan was informed by one of the neighbors of .the state of affairs at the Dempsey homo, nnd accompanied by Patrolman Potter, who lives on Mulberry street, and happened to bo near at hand, visited the scene. The door was still locked, and Demp sey, with an oath refused to open It. "Hreak It open," cried out Mrs. Dempsey, and tho two officers put their sturdy shoulders against the door, and the next moment were In the room and had Dempsey under arrest. The blood was streaming from the wounds in her head, and her face was covered with a crimson flood. Sho was taken to the Lackawanna hospital, where her Injuries were at tended to, bandages being applied, and the smart of the wounds softened. Dempsey was taken to the Central police station by the two patrolmen. He is about -15 years of age. CLAIMS BURGLARS DID IT. West Side Fire That Has Some Odd Features. Fire broke out about 11.30 o'clock last night in the dry goods and notion store of A. V. Bunnell, at 114 South Main avenue. The bln-so originated under a counter near tho money draw er on tho main floor, and Its cause Is a complete mystery. The West Scran ton companies all res;onded to tho alarm and extinguished the fire by tho use of chemicals. Tho entire damage will come to about ?u00, which is covered by In surance. Tho proprietor of the store believes that tho fire was caused by burglars, but the police do not accept this the ory. Mr. Bunnell bases his belief upon the fact that the bolts were found to be removed from tho back door and the lock tampered with. Tho mnnnv drawer was out of its accustomed placo and was found in tho rear of the store with a pasteboard box full of cheap jewelry. Patrolman Jones, however, declares that ho made his rounds at 11 o'clock and on trying all the doors found everything fast. Two years ago there was a fire at this same store, during which burglars entered and made a haul of about $175. Tho flames were kept from spreading and did not communicate to the second lloor. The tenants of the apartments above the store are Mr. and Mrs. John Lewl. PRINCE'S PRESENT A MYSTERY. Why Did Wales Give Lady Randolph a Jeweled PlgP London, Aug. 21. London society has a mys tery, which presents the question: Why did the Prince of Wales give Mis. Ciorge Cornwallie West (Lady Randolph Churchill that was) a Jeweled pig as a wedding present when she married her young husband? Some meaning, It is presumed, was attached to the gift. The Prince of Wales and Lady Randolph Churchill were alwavs the best of friend, and the pig is supposed to be the reminder of soino pleasantry or incident known only to them. Owing to tho objection of the family of the groom to the marriage, the Princo of Wales did not officially recognize the wedding, either by bis presence or a formal present, but lie tent Mrs. Cornwallls West the pig as proof of his good wishes, The pig U cet with diamonds, and is a work of the jeweler's art.

WYOMING AVENUE IS SOON TO BE OPENED VIEWERS' REPORT NOW READY TO BE FILED. Men Appointed to Assess Cost of Grading1 and Opening tho Street Have Finished Their Work but Court Cannot Confirm It Until Sep tember 30 On Account of Delay tho Colliery Engineer Printing Plant Will Not Be Built Till Spring Will Mako Extensive Im provements. Tho viewers appointed by court to assess the benefits nnd also any dam ages which will accrue to tho property owners on both sides of that portion of Wyoming avenue between Pine and Phelps street, which Is about to be opened by the city, have completed their report and will file It with court on September 1, so that the actual work of opening up tho thoroughfare may be commenced In a very short time. It wilt require thirty days, according to law, before court can confirm the report of tho viewers and not until then can City Clerk Lavello advertise for bids. The actual work of grading can, however, be finished In a few weeks time, when once commenced, so that It is safe to assume that before winter sets in the avenue will be opened. The viewers have allowed, It Is un derstood very little damages and have assessed all properties fronting on tlx-s street at approxlmatly 70 s Kr lineal foot according to n fiont rule. The total cost of op n.ng the street will not exceed JL',000, It Is thought. The joint public buildings committee of councils has succeeded In disposing of nearly all of the buildings on that portion of the avenue to be opened and these have in nearly all instances been removed. The other buildings can easily bo sold before tho work of open ing tho streot Is begun. It can be definitely stated that the Colliery Knglneer company has de cided to postpone the erection of its mammoth printing plant until next spring. This plant, as is well known, Is to be built on that part of the ave nue beyond the part to be now opened and It was principally because the company refused to build until assured that the street would be opened that councils took up the matter and unan imously adopted the ordinances pro viding for Its opening. The company officials wore deter mined long ago that not until they saw the street actually opened would they commence to build nnd as this will not be done now until way into the fall they have decided to defer build ing operations till the spring. In addition to tho lots which the company purchased between Pine and Phelps streets, It has recently bought a plot of land directly across tho street from where the printing plant will be located. This land was acquired from the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com pany and takes up the whole block front on Wyoming avenue between Ash and Poplar streets, and extends back half a block on each of the last named thoroughfares. On this as well as on the smaller lots the company will erect handsome and substantial dwelling "nouses for tho purpose, to use a bicycling term, of setting a pace, that is, encouraging others to build so that in a few years the street may be all built up. It la always hard at first to get people to build where there are no houses but when once a few dwellings are put up they take courage and do likewise. The viewers appointed by court to assess the beneilts and damages which may be caused by grading are C. P. Matthews, Samuel Hlnes and W. J. Torrey, ACCUSED OF AN OUTRAGE. Two Bellevuo Men to Answer for a Serious Crime. Michael Judge and E. L. FInnorty, of Bellevue, were last night arraigned before Justice of the Peace Griffiths, of Taylor, charged with assault and battery and attempt at criminal as sault on Mrs, Mary Dempkso, of Tay lor. Finnerty was held in $1,000 ball, and Judge was committed to the county jail. At the hearing very sensational evi dence was given. It seems that on tho night of August 2. Mrs. Dempkso and her husband wero walking along tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern tracks, near Taylor, and had reached a dark and lonely spot, when suddenly they were confronted by two men, who roughly thrust Dempkso out of the way nnd seized his wife. The husband rushed to her assistance, but his two assailants drew revolvers and threatening to shoot, irade Dempkso leave the spot. Mrs. Dempkso was In a very deli cate condition at the time, but this did not prevent her two captors from brutally assaulting her. Afterwards, it is claimed, they threw their victim down the railroad embankment, where she lay stunned and unconscious. Her assailants left her lying there and some time later she was found by her husband. A warrant wns Immediately issued for the arrest of the two men, but they had vanished from sight, and search was In vain until yesterday morning, when they were captured by the Taylor police. Judge, who was committed to the county jail, Is a breaker boss by occupation. At the jail he said he lived on Court street, North Scranton, but it was found that he Is a resident of Bellevue. Finnerty Is tho man who was nr rested by Ofllcer Stephen Dyer two years ago and made his escape by swimming across tho Lackawanna. Both deny the nccusatlon and claim It Is a case of mistaken identity. REUNION OF FIFTY-SECOND. Will Be Held in this City Sep tember 13.

He worka In Mayfleld and lives on Belmont street, Carbondale, in the northern part of the city. He rides each day on the company'H trains.

A Section of the Relic Presented to Andrew Carnegie. rrom tho Philadelphia Record, To enable the Stevens Institute of Technology to erect suitable new buildings Andrew Carnegie gave $05,000 and as a token of appreciation It was decided to present him with a section of the original thirty-Six pound "T" 1 all from the Camden nnd Amlioy rail road, Inclosed In a handsome casket. The casket also contains fac-slmiles of letters, specifications und bills con nected with the history of the first "T" rails. On the top ot the solid silver casket are figures in relief, showing the rolling of tho rail through a typi cal eany mill. On opposite sides are shown the first train of the Camden and Amboy railroad, pieceded by an outrider to keep people off 'the track, and a view of tho proposed Carnegie laboratory. The ends contain medal lion portraits of Robert L. Stevens and Mr. Carnegie. At the four corners are figures embodying the Stevens Insti tute's conception of the Ideal modern engineer a primitive iron woiker, a mediaval armorer, an old-fashioned blacksmith and one of Its own gradu ates. The piece of "T" rail sent Mr. Car negie was furnished by the president of the Institute, Dr. Henry Morton. Tho rails for the Camden and Amboy track, between South Amboy and Bor dentown, were rolled In 1S31, President Morton says, and wero the llrst "T" rails designed or made, although the Vlgnoies rail, produced In France sev eral years later, havo generally been credited with being the earliest. The former wns designed by Robert L. Ste vens, who was sent to England to have them made, there being In this country no mill capable of doing the work. Arrived In England, he called for bids from various Iron works, but nt ilrst none of them dared to take the work. After a while he persuaded John Guest, owner of a Welsh mill, to attempt It; not, however, before guarantees had been given against any damage to tho machinery In perform ing the then mighty task of rolling a 36-pound rail. Mr. Stevens personally directed tho work. When the first rails that came through wero crooked and twisted, the workmen hailed It ns proof that tho attempt was futile. Mr. Ste vens told them to take their hammers while the Iron was hot and straighten them out.
