BOY WAS TERRIBLY
HURT BY COMPANION
Walter Klrke Thrown on a Spiked
Iron Fence and Probably Fatally
Injured Is at the Hospital.
Walter Klrke, the 12-year-old son of
Walter Klrke, who lives In the rear of
North Washington avenue, was taken
to tlie Lackawanna hospital last night
seriously injured, as iliu result of a
quarrel with another lad named Little,
who pushed him against tho picket
fence near the county jail. One of tho
pickets penetrated the boy's abdomen
and caused Injuries so grave in nature
that the hospital surgeons last nigh',
said that the little fellow's recovery
was very doubtful, unless an operation
v.-iis performed
The boy told tho house surgeons and
nurses at the Lackawanna hospital
that Immediately after his supper be
went out to play with some friend;
and while with several young ac
quaintances near the county jail mec
this boy, Little. He was unable to
give the lattei's first name, but said
that ho was merely known as "Little."
This boy, according to Klrke, rushed
up to him, and, without any provoca
tion, assaulted him and threw him vio
lently against the fence, which is n
low one, only about two feet high.
Ho struck It with great force and
one of the spikes were driven several
Inches into his abdomen, cutting
through his clothing as keenly as a
knife would hae done.
His friends removed him from hU
terrible position, and took him to his
home, where his wound was dressed
by Dr. AV. H. Greevy.
He was later taken to the Lacka
wanna hospital. He did not seem ru
feel much pain, but It was feared at
tho hospital that the spike, after pen
etrating tho abdomen wall, had entered
the Intestines, In which case fatal re
sults would occui, unless an operatio.i
took place, In which event the dumag;
could be remedied.
Ho will probably be operated upon
today.

WARD FOR THE
LITTLE ONES
ANNEX TO THE LACKAWANNA
ABOUT COMPLETED.
It Will Bo Used Exclusively for tho
Treatment of Children Heretofore
It Has Been Impossible to Give
Proper Care to the Children Who
Had to Be Placed hi tho General
Ward Ward Was the Gift of Mrs.
W. T. Smith.
Thts W. T. Smith children's ward of
the Lackawanna hospital Is now prao
llcally complete nnd will bo reatly for
occupancy In about ten days, by which
time all the apartments will have been
furnished and made ready for the lit
tle ones. This ward, the gift of Airs,
V T. Smith, In commemoration of
her departed husband, fills a long felt
want, as the absence of a suitable
apartment for the treatment of chil
dren has been bemoaned by the hospi
tal authorities for a long time.
Tho ward takes tho form of a wing
to the hospital building and is Itself
an ornately built and graceful struc
ture. It will accommodate between
thirty and thlrty-flvc children and no
pains have been spared to make all
accommodations for tho young pa
tients of the most generous and com
fortable nature. An Increase In the
staff of hospital nurses will be Inevit
able and three day and one night
burses will pre Ida over the ward.
On the third lloor are the apartments
set aside for all casas of a contagious
nature, and there, too, are the rooms
for the nurses In charge of these Isol
ated patients.
Thn v.urd Is about sixty-three .feet
long by twenty-two broad, c:tendlns
Its full length on Mulberry .-neet and
facing Franklin nvenuo. It communi
cates direct with the main building,
being connectsfl by a large, commo
dious porch, whose tall, graceful pil
lars lend a pleasing appearum to the
structure, which itself Is a striking us
dpi'I. The base Is made of rough-hewn
gray stone, and the remainder of red
brick. The top of tho building Is orna
mented by a number of cornices and
oddly formed architectural designs,
which give a rather antique and very
satisfactory air to the building, On
tho Mulberry street side a lire escape
has been erectea.
The ward has been built from the
plans of Architect E. B. Holden. and
the work of constitution was in charge
of Conrad Sehroeder. The llrst ground
was dug about Alay 15, but the con
struction has been pursued leisurely
und great pains taken with it. The
building will be heated by steam heat,
and electricity and gas will be used in
Illuminating the ward.
The main entrance Is on Franklin
avenue, and on entering one steps Into
a small corridor, which loads into the
surgical ward. This is a very large
room, which faces on Franklin avenue,
and will accommodate about fourteen
cots. A large, white-tiled open flre
nlaco Is in the forepart of the room,
which Is splendidly naturally lighted by
live large windows, through which the
sunlight comes and gives the apart
ment a most cheerul and pleasant at
mosphere. In the rear of this Is the oneratlng
room, a tiled chamber, admirably fitted
for Its purpose. Lavatories occupy the
remainder of this floor. The fittings of
the entire ward are admirable, the por
celain basins, tubs nnd operating basins
all testifying that perfection was aimed
at by the 'kindly donor of this splendid
gift to the hospital.
SECOND FLOOR.
On the second floor, tho main apart
ment is a large room, In which the con
valescent children will be allowed to
play and while away their time. This,
llko the surgical ward, Is admirably
lighted und ventilated, and has the
same cheery, fresh appearance which
marks the entire ward. The little pa
tients will be allowed to romp about
here and dally enjoy sun baths.'
Swinging doors separate this room
from the medical ward, which holds
six cots, and from a chamber where
only exceedingly 111 children will be at
tended to, and In which three cots will
be placed. In the rear are the bath
rooms. The third lloor will be set aside for
the Isolated eases. There are two bed
rooms, for children with contagious
diseases, and also sleeping apartments
fop the nurses In charge. A ventilated
corridor separates this ward from the
lllght of stairs, which lead to It from
the other ward, and all washing of t.ie
patients' clothes will be done on this
lloor, to prevent thn contagion from in
any way spreading.
On each lloor will be a gas range, on
which the food for tho patients can bo
heated, and a telephone will also bo on
each floor, communicating direct with
tho olllco of the superintendent. I
It has not yet been decided whether
or not to have any opening day exor
cises, when tho ward Is ready for occu
pancy. The .apartment which at pres
ent Is used ns a children's ward will bu
utilized for the accommodation of pa
tients just operated upon,

MAGNIFICENT CONCERT.
Tho Royal Hungarian Band Finest
Ever Heard Here.
Music lovers who found their way
to the Pure Food Phow yesterday af
ternoon, Intent on hearing something
ordinary In the way of music, mot
with a decisive surprise. The Roynl
Httngarl'in Hand of New York city
was on tho programme for n concert,
and tho magnificence of their plnylng
was beyond anything of tho kind over
beard In Scrnnton. Thet'o am six
members of the band In uniform,
They use a great variety of instru
ments, one of them In particular,
which Is used In place of a piano or
harp being of unusual Interest. Tho
musicians play with a great deal of
depth of feeling. Their whole thought
Is In the music before them. Their'
minds conceive and their lingers exe
cute the most dlfllcult nnd studied
selections. Harmony and melody
breathe through every note, the sym
phony of their ensemble Is rich with
force and feeling and sweetness.
Last evening the. band entertained
those who went to the Y. AI, C. A.
parlors to receive the election re
turns, having been loaned to that or
ganization by tho courtesy of Jonas
Long's Sons. To-night the band plays
for nn impromptu reception at the
Bicycle club. This afternoon nnd
every afternoon this week, as well as
on Saturday evening, they will give
their delightful concerts at the Pure
Food Show. The Exposition closes
Saturday evening.
SUDDEN DEATH 0P
M. H. BURGUNBER
He Was Attacked by Typhoid Pneu
monia Saturday and Died at 8.30
O'clock Yesterday Morning.
Moses II. Burgunder, of Wllkin
Barre, one of tho lessees of the Ly
ceum and Academy of Music theatres,
and one of the best known thertrieal
malingers In the rtate, died yesterday
moinlupr at his home on Northampton
street, AVIlkes-Barre. His death was a
sudden one, ho being talt-n ill with typhoid-pneumonia
Saturday, and rapid
ly growing worse.
Air. Burgunder was In the city only
last Friday, when he conferred with
Manager A. J. Duffy, of the Lyceum,
and appeared to be as hale and hearty
as usual. IT.- vein to his home Frlduv
night, and the next day complained of
feeling 111. He grew rapidly weaker
and weaker, and his physicians pro
nounced the case typhoid-pneumonia,
and looked very serious when spoken
to regarding his condition. At S.30
o'clock yesterday morning he died.
Air. Burgunder, for many years, with
Air, Mishler controlled the Academy of
Aluslc, and about three years ago en
tered into partnership with Air. Rels,
of the Northeastern Pennsylvania the
atrical circuit, and took tho manage
ment of both the Lyceum and Acad
emy. The Grand opera house and the Nes
bltt, at WIlkes-Barro, were also con
trolled by him. Air. Hurgunder was
well-known among theatrical men
throughout the country and was uni
versally admired and esteemed both for
his straightforward business tactics
and his personality.
He was forty-eight years of ago, and
was born In Wilkes-Barre, where he
spent the greater part of his life.
About eight years ago ho married AIlss
Rozella Frank, of this city, and she
with their two children, Margery and
Bernard, survive him. His parents, Mr.
and Alts. Bernard Burgunder, and t,wo
brothers, Heman and Abraham, all of
Wllkes-Barre, also mourn his loss.
Mr. Burgunder was prominently Iden
tified with Wllkes-Barre life. Besides
his theatrical interests, ho was one of
the promoters of the newly organized
automobile line, which Is to begin oper
ations in Wllkes-Barre, sfiid was vice
president of the association, He was
also a member of the Lulu temple,
Knights of the Jlystlo Chain, of Phila
delphia: Scottish Rite Masons, tho
Wilkes-Barre lodge of Elks and several
other associations.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made. The management of the
Lyceum has forwarded a beautiful
floral piece to Wilkes-Barre, as a token
of tho sorrow felt among Mr. Bur
gunder's local employes for his untime
ly end.
CORNELL CLUBS COMING.
Will Give a Concert in This City on
Dec. 29.
A now departure made this year In
tho Christmas trip schedule of the Cor
nell University Musical clubs will bring
a train load of undergraduate music
ians to Scrnnton on December 29. A
concert will be given at St. Luke's par
ish hall, nnd afterward the students
will bo entertained by the Cornell
alumni, With the Yalo Musical club

touring tho New England states and
Princeton making a southern trip, tho

only opportunity Scrnnton people will

musical productions of the great col
leges, The Cornell clubs travel more ex
lenslvuly than most musical orsrantra
tluns of tho sort, As there are twenty
live men in each of tho three clubs,
banjo glee and mandolin, a special
train Is necessary. Several Pullman
sleeping cars, a dining car and a
"dressing" car make up tho train. The
students, when on a trip, aro under
almost as strict regulations as Is a foot
ball team In training, In order that
tholr musical productions may bo of tho
highest possible order.

SCRIBES AND
THE STRIKE
PART TAKEN IN THE CONFLICT
BY NEWSPAPER MEN.
Scarcely a Day Passed but What
Thoy Wrote Something That Was
Far from Being General News,
nnd Which Was Nothing More or
Less Than an Inspired Message
from One Side to tho Other Not
Infrequently They Acted r.e Direct
Go-Betweens.
If the part the newspaper men played
In the great, miners' strike, now so hap
pily ended, could bo chronicled In full,
It would doubtless make a most Inter
esting article. Hero In Mcrnnton, nlntio,
there was stilllclent material furnished
for a. very readable story, and Scrnnton
was only ono of many localities In
which strike activities wero partici
pated In by the representatives of the
press.
Probably the most Importnnt nart
they played was that of go-betweens
for the strikers and tho operators. The
latter refused to recognize the union
or have any dealings with their rep
resentatives, and tho union officers
maintained a policy towards tho oper-
, ators of when-you-want-us-you-know-where-to-flnd-us.
Yet, it Is safe to say,
not a single day passed that the oper
ators and the strike loaders did not
have a conference. It was all accom
plished through the medium of the
newspaper men.
Alany nn Item was crowded Into their
dally reports of the strike thn t was far
from being news to the general public
1 and only glvpn space becnusc It was
the wish of ono side to have It brought
generally to the attention of the other,
and Invariably the next day the same
newspaper man would be called upon
to Incorporate prominently, In his
strike article what would be nothing,
more or less than the rernmise, com
ment, explanation, offei, agreement or
whatever It might be that t'other side
was looking for from the one.
WAS DIRECT AIESSENGER.
Then again there were occasions In
numerable when the reporter served as
tho direct messenger from one party in
tho conlllct to the other with this, that
or the other proposition which could
not bo handled Indirectly In the public
prints. Of course, he had to dlscrotlv
disguise the uctual character he was
assuming and religiously avoid any
word that would tend to disclose him
self or his mission, but, wlthnl, there
was no real deception practiced, for the
party he was dealing with knew, and
ho knew the parly knew, that the party
realized he was simply talking through
a sort of telephone to another partv
whom he was forbidden by diplomacy
to address.
At Hazleton, where President Alitch
ell and half a hundred newspaper men
wore housed together for nearly two
months, tho latter were constantly
brought into service as "telephones"
for Mr. Mitchell and tho operators.
Several times, vlhen the Mine Work
ers' officials did not seem to have the
right understanding of some action or
utterance of the operators, the latter
made use of a newspaper man to set
them aright. It was all .very funny to
the newspaper man as ho went about
the task, contemplating the facility
with which some great barriers can he
overcome. If the mntter Is only ap
proached In the right way.
WAS THE EXCHANGE.
It was just such service as this that
Contrressmnn Connell devoted ihimself
to when he set about the work of hast
ening the close of the strike. While
the Hazleton conference was on, his
private office In this city was the "ex
change" nt which connections were
made twenty-four times In one day, by
actual count, between the Lehigh Vul
ley hotel at Hazleton, where tho con
ference was being held, and the offlce
of this, that or tho other operator, from
whom President Mitchell wanted an
assurance, explanation or something of
that sort. The conversation, of, course,
was not carried on directly.
Air. Alitchell or Mr. Nlcholls would
make known to Air. Conncll's office, for
Instance, that It was not clearly under
stood whether the Philadelphia and
Reading Intended to average the whole
month In arriving at an estimate of the
September wages. Air. Connell's office,
forthwith, would call up the Philadel
phia and Reading people, secure the
desired Information, without saying In
so many words what It was wanted for,
and then transmit It to tho conference.
Of course, this Is only a part of what
Mr. Connell did In bringing about tho
end of the strike. His other activities
In this direction are not within the
scope of this article.
