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, -,-

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. He Is rep
resenting the big meat bouse of
Sohwarzsohlld & Sulzberger, and was
here yesterday to introduce himself to
the trade in this city and vicinity. 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

suppository, Is applied directly to the
parts affected, and brings about a com

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

not be permanently cured, the past year

twenty years, and nothing but the
Pyramid remedies have wrought this

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.

IN HONOR OP ST. PATRICK.
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.

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.
