' EXPLODING GAS SHAKES BUILDING A Body of the Illumlnaut, Set off by Gas Company's Workmen, Causes Consternation at South Main Street and Eighth Avenue. There was n lively commotion in the vicinity of South Main street ami Eighth avenue about 7 o'clock last evening. A body of gas, tin' iiccuniulation from a leak that 1ms existed Mince the re cent Hood, was set off by an employe of the Kits company, who was endeav oring to locate the trouble, and who In discreetly lighted a mateji. In an In stant there was a sheet of Maine, fol lowed by the noise of an earthquake, that went rumbling over the southern part of the city. Buildings within the radius or u block felt the shock. The stores and residences within a few hundred feet or the spot where the gna exploded shook until the windows rat tled, and the occupants were filled with the fear that their destruction was at hand. A big hole was torn In the ground surrounding the spot where the gas issued forth. Mud and stones were dug up and thrown against the neighboring bouses. Kdward Houston, the employe, who had the misfortune to light the match, was caught in the force with an up heaval of tnud that covered ills face and almost blinded him. Medical at tention, however, relieved him. and no bad consequences are looked for. Houston, who Is employed In the gas house, left his home after the supper hour, and was passing the spot where the odor of gas was strongest. There Is a stand pipe at the Eighth avenue bridge, where a valve is located in a box. It was here that Houston began his investigation. He raised the cover, when a sickening odor of gas burst on him. This was certainly evidence enough thai there was a dangerous leak there, but Houston did not. feel satisfied until lie lighted a match. Why he made such a dreadful mistake, no one, not even himself, can explain now. However, he did. The result and con sequence are plain. There was an ex plosion, and a mighty one.which caused all the ruction heretofore described. Houston's escape from dangerous In Jury was marvelous. It might be men tioned that he was acting on his own responsibility In his endeavor to locate the trouble. While all the houses In the neighbor hood were' shaken, until the windows rattled, the meat market and dwelling of V. 11. Evans, at Eighth avenue and Sout'h Main street, and the residence of Contractor P. Y. Moran, on Klghth ave nue, were agitated more than the rest, li the Mnran residence, the family felt that the house was colmpslng. The noise of the explosion was dis tinctly heard In that section or the city and caused many to believe that there was another blow-up at the Jermyn powder mills. The Carbondale (his company has en deavored to correct the trouble ever flnee Its presence became known, over a week ago, by the almost overpower ing smell of gas In the vicinity. The leak Is supposed to be located some where In the main that runs under the liver at this point. The break Is at tributed to the action of the recent floods, which greatly disturbed the jlver bed, also the gas main. The depth of the river and the presenco of frost in the ground prevents the work of re pair from being carried on just now. When these conditions are removed the company will abandon the main under the river and will carry It overhead .across the stream. Permission to do this has already been granted by coun cils. : TOOK TIIK HINT, -,- r'.I;rTenU-To!ii Him t'6' .Chance Ills I'uqU. t Once In-a while one can servo a friend and win a life-long obligation by n little food udvlce.

John Haywood, 8?31 Aspen Bt., Philadelphia, Ia. Cafoac(alet THEFT AT HIGH SCHOOL. A Buzz of Excitement Caused by tho loss of Seventeen and a Half Dol larsTaken from .n Scholar's Desk. Fruitless Search of Pupils. Quite u buzz of excitement was pro duced In the Carbondale High school yesterday forenoon over the supposed theft of u sum of money, Jl'.r.O, from tho desk of one of the scholars. When the disappearance of the money was reported, it diligent, but fruitless, search was mnde. Five girls and one boy, who said they tfaw the money, were culled Into Superintendent Oair and made to submit to a search. Later Constable Henry Pierce was called Into the case to make an Investigation, but he met with little success In locating the money or the supposed thief. The money disappeared from the room taught by Miss Julia Kllhullen. Lillian Petiuckert, of Hospital street, was the victim. The scholar came to school In the morning with tho $17.f0 to send awuy ul noon through the local postolllee. When she came Into the class-room, she placed the money, which was In bills und l)i an envelope, on her desk. She had a St., Patrick's day badge, which was slde-by-slde with the money as It lay on the desk. The badge attracted the attention of sev eral of the scholars, who commented on It, ns they flocked mound the Peuekort girl. She went to the cloak room, leaving the money, she claimed, In her desk, When she returned the money was gone. The loss was reported and caused a great Duller when the an nouncement was made. Superintendent Garr was notilled, His Inquiries brought out the six scholars, live girls and one boy. who saw the en velope In which the Peuckert girl had the money. These were asked to step Into the superintendent's rooms, where they submitted to a search. No trace of the reported missing money was found on any of them. The search con firmed the statements which the schol ars made with reference to their con nection with the loss of the bills. Sub sequently, Constable Pierce, of Alder man Morrison's court, was sent Tor. He made an Investigation, which, however, was as barren of results as was the one by the superintendent. The circumstances of the case were such that not the least tangible clue or explanation of the girl's loss developed. It was a case that balked the ofllcials, and all that was left to bo done was for them to bide their time for some due or explanation which would dis cover how the money went, and where. The Peuckert girl was visibly de pressed at her misfortune. She was so disconsolate that she remained in the school building during the lunch hour until her father visited the school and relieved her mind. IT'S FINAL PASSAGE. Appropriation Ordinance Gets Final Heading in Common Council and Is Head Once in the' Select Two Brief Meetings. The ordinance making the appropri ations for the coining fiscal year passed third reading In common, council last night, and from there It was taken to the select, where it passed through one reading, without debute or delay, as In the lower body. Another meeting of select council will be held before coun cils re-organize. Monday, April 7, when the ordinance will be given Its final readings. The meeting of common council was an adjourned one. It was exception ally brief and only minor matters were disposed- of. Two recommendations from Control ler Wheeler were presented and adopt ed. They were transfers of certain funds, $300 from water rent appropria tion to the principal and interest on lunded debt; $474, OG from special Im provement fund to tho "general account. Shot at Select Council. ltefore council adjourned the mem bers had something to say about the failure of select council to meet. At this time It was not known that tho upper body proposed to meet. Chair man Collins said that business was ac cumulating by reason, of select coun cil not meeting, and' that the city con troller, who met him earlier In the evening, expressed tho wish for this congestion to be relieved that he might clear up his affairs before leaving ollice. "Well, we can't force the other coun cil to meet, Mr. Chairman," said Mr. Thompson. "That's very true," returned the chair. This concluded the periodical outbreak of criticism of select coun cil by members of the lower branch. Select Council. Aside from the llrat reading of the appropriation ordinance, which was without feature the only Important matter disposed of In select council was the ordinance providing for tho grad ing of Ninth avenue from Main to Park streets. Thus passed second and third readings. There was a lot of concurrent resolu tions from common council disposed of. A "K" SUPPER. Elegantly Served in Parlors of Con gregational Church Last Evening. Tho young ladles of the Congrega tional church of this city Served a very unique supper last evening In the .ithool room. For some time the ladles have been considering the advisability of serving n supper that was different from any thing heretofore attempted. Therefore, they decided to servo a "K" supper. The unlquo featuru of the occasion was the menu card, which was printed on a loige letter "k" and everything that w.ib served began with this letter. The young ladles certainly are to lie congratulated for the graceful and courteous manner In which they at tended .to the wants of those who worn present. The tables were very urtlstl cully at ranged and tho room presented a very pleasing appearunce, Tho pro ceeds uro to go towards liquidating the debt of the church. New Drummer in Carbondale. A traveling salesman who is now to Carbondale was ut the Harrison house yesterday. He is Harry II. Stanton, of Scranton, a progressive und hustling ypung man from that city.

Mr. UANGbltOUS SltlUJIiUY Should Do the Lnst Rexort. . Many, people puffer from piles, be cause ; after trying valiotis lotions, salves und ointments without relief or cure, they conic to the conclusion that a Btlrglcal operation Is the last resort, and rather than. submit to tho shock and risk to life of an operation prefer to suffer out very often, however, tho ullllcted one Is over persuaded to resort to tho knife, und even though the oper ation Is apparently successful, and thei'e la complete recovery from the shock Incident thereto, the result Is In variably tho paine; tho plies sooner or later return because their cause has not been removed. This result Is a logical one, Inasmuch as the knife re moves tho effects of the disease only, while the cause remains as before. There is claimed to be a remedy which does remove tho cause, hence eradicating- the disease, and that Is the Pyra mid Pile Cure! It Is In the forni of a suppository, Is applied directly to the parts affected, and brings about a com plete cure, quietly and painlessly, in this collection tho testimony of Mr. John Cullon Uryiijit, the well known bookseller of Haverhill, Mass,, Is of unusual interest. "I desire to contribute an unsolicited, but purely voluntary testimonial In favor of Pyramid Pile (Jure. I have suffered for more than twenty yeurs with hemorrhoids, and have consulted numerous physicians and expended n great deal of money for medicines that did me no good, I had often seen Pyra mid Pile Cure advertised, but hesitated for months before buying same, think ing It a patent or quack remedy that had no merit; but having tried every other remedy prescribed I was finally persuaded one year ago. lo try Pyramid Pile Cure. I bought a fifty cent pack age at tho drug store, and while I may not be permanently cured, the past year has been the only year of my life worth living during the past twenty years, and nothing but the Pyramid remedies have wrought this change. T offer this testimony for tho benefit of suffering humanity." Stanton has the qualities that make for success in bis line and he will make the best of them. DROPPED INTO CELLAR. Sidewalk on South Main Street Takes a .Tumble While Two Men Are Walking Over It Given Quite a Scare. A Carbondale resident, George Cur tis, and an out-of-town man, Dr. Ste vens, of Canaan, had quite an unique experience, last night, one that gave them quite a scare and made them feel somewhat queer for awhile. The doctor and Mr. Curtis were com ing up Soutli Main street about ft o'clock. When they were passing the Delnionlco restaurant, kept by K. H. V.'. IJurkc, the " sidewalk gave way, dropping Into tile vault-like cellar be neath. Both men also dropped. There was no way or no chance of escaping and In an Instant they were six feet below the surface of the street, scram bling about in a dark, univlting spot. The distance they dropped was the least discomforting part of their ex perience; it was the hour of the adven ture that agitated them and made them think that for all they knew they were making a descent into tho mine. It was the most sudden hap pening in their experience and one cal culated, to put their nerves on the ragged edge. To be walking along the street, deeply absorbed in a discus sion, and In the twinkling of an eye to hau the sidewalk drop from un der you and land you well you don't know where is not going to fill you with peace of mind. The contrary, ho.vevcr. Is true. And this made up the most of the injuries of the sin gularly overtaken men. Their nervous systems were thrown out of plumb, until they managed to pull themselves out of the cellar and were once more In a more Inviting place in the lighted thoroughfare. Injured feelings and thumping hearts, battered hats and soiled clothing, with perhaps a -few ablations, were the extent of their mis hap. The mental pictures . they had during the lightning-like de'scent into the cellar were as rapid-as the klucto srupe In the picture shows. A ilaw In the walk was the cause of tile double. SUCCESS ASSURED. The Colgate Glee and Mandolin Clubs Will "Save a. Good Audience. Although but u few lithographs of the Colgate University Glee and Uanjo clubs have been distributed, and little more than a bare announcement has been made through the press, between 1:00 nnd 300 tickets have already been j soiu uy me energetic mules or the Bap tist church. This means that the suc cess of the Euster concert Is fully as sured. When the diagram opens at Clark's drug f,tore next Monday night, the rush for seats will doubtless equal that Which has attended tho most popular entertainments of tho season. The la dles feel that their audience of 700 Is already In night. Tho patronage of that many people will make the society secure In their venture. Twenty-three college men ought to give a royal' en tertainment. Discharged from. Hospital, Peter Krantz, of this city, who underwent a minor surgical operation some days ago, wns well enough to go to his home, from Emergency hospital, yesterday. Mrs. Catherine Connors, of Jermyn, who was successfully treated for a fracture of tho thigh, was, likewise, able to go to her home yesterday. Cinder in His Eye.

Mr, Nullln died at tho homo of his mother, on Hickory street, South Scranton, ufter an exceed ingly brief Illness.

Observance of Erin's Patron Saint in Carbondale, One of the quietest and most unevent ful observances of St. Patrick's day in Carbondale marked tho recurrence yes terday of tho feast of Rrln's patron saint, While tho day was generally ob served among the sons of Erin, the mines and some workshops being shut down, there was no public demonstra tion of nny character. To those who made the day one of rest and recre ation, It hnd all the aspects of a holi day. There were a number of visitors In town, which Is the survival of an old custom, and numerous persons loft the city to spend tho day with friends. The theatre was quite an attraction, nnd both performances at the Grand were crowded with audiences, through which there was a generous sprinkling of green ribbons and other novelties of emerald, significant of tho feast that Is always it joyous occasion to an Irish man. The religious observance of the feast was marked by tho celebration of two masses In St. Hose church, the first at 7 and the latter at 0 o'clock. The 9 o'clock service was the more Import ant. It was a 'solemn high mass, sung at tho Instance of the Knights of Father Mathew, who observed an an nual custom. Kev. Walter Gorman was celebrant; Very Rev. T. F. Coffey, deacon; Rev. George Dixon, sub deacon. The Very How Father Coffey deliv ered a eulogy on Saint Patrick, in the course of which he bade his hearers to benefit by the example of the saint's life of faith and devotion. SCHILLER COMPANY'S HIT. Opens to Crowded Houses at the Grand Opera House. The Schiller Stock company, at the Grand yesterday afternoon, made the most successful opening of any reper toire company that has appeared in Carbondale this season. There were two performances. At the matinee, the house was so crowded that there was but little standing room. In the evening the house was again packed. Of the two productions, the evening bill, "City of New York," was the more meritorious. It was a strong melo drama, with splendid scenic accessor ies, that made u performance that was keenly enjoyed. In the afternoon "A Woman's Enemy" was satisfactory, tho upper part of the' audience particularly being enthusiastic in its applause. The company has many features to make It popular, and among these the specialties are deserving of special notice. The sweet-voiced little miss who sang two numbers has what can be called a phenomenal voice. No one, of her years, has ever been excelled If equalled, at any performance in this city. The boy juggler' is another won derful performer. Tonight the company will produce James O'Neill's version of "Monte Cristo." The eolnpany Is a deserving one and will no doubt play to crowded houses during the engagement. WITH THE SICK. Numerous Residents Are Suffering from Grippy Condition. Common Councilman E. II.

Charles E. Fessenden has not resigned the pastorate of St. James church, Jermyn, as has been an nounced, but Bishop Talbot, who un der Canon ix of the dioceses of cen tral Pennsylvania, relating to "Church Extension Within the Diocese," has absolute power in the matter of ap pointing and removing missionaries, proposed last January a three-fold transfer of mislsonarles, to take place some time after Easter, Ijy which Mr. Fessenden goes to Mansfield and Tiogai Rev. S. W. Derby, now at Mansfield, goes, to Forest City, and Rev'. J. Er win Broadhead goes to Jermyn.- Since under the cannon, missionaries are ap pointed anil removed or transferred from one mission parish to another by the authority of the bishop alone, it is evident that there Is no resigning in the matter, unless a missionary gives- up his work as a missionary of the board, and this the Rev. Mtv Fes senden has not done. But though the bishop has the power In missionary appointments and changes, he does not use that powerH arbitrarily, and the matter of the three-fold change of mis sionaries above referred to was sub milted to the pleasure of Mr. Fessen den, and no doubt to tho pleasure of the other clergymen concerned. Aery little, iff any headway has been inudo In lowering the water in the Glenwood shaft, which was drowned out last month. The buckets in tho shaft have been worked night and day and have about held the water. Yes terday, two of the pumps were started up and It Is expected from now on tho water will be rapidly lowered.
