DEATH, UNEXPECTED,
SHOCKS THE COMMUNITY
.
Mrs. Daniel J. Foley Summoned
After a Day's Sickness, nnd Doml
nick Barrett Dies Most Unexpect
edly in Scranton, Where He Went
a Few Weeks Ago.
Two deaths that woie wholly unex
pected, one of them startllngly sudden,
sent a shook through the community
yesterday.
, Mrs. Catherine J. Foley, wife of
Daniel J, Foley, the well-known mer
chant, died suddenly In the afternoon
at the residence, on 'ot-th Main street,
after an attack of sickness of only one
day's duration. A circumstance that
added to the shock of the news was
that she was among her friends only
the day he tore.
Domlnlck Rariett, one or the most
popular young men of the town, was
the other one who was called niion to
answer the ilnal summons, lie died ut
hie' boarding house in. Scranton, where
ho went n few months ago to accept an
advanced position In the air-brake de
partment of the .Lackawanna road. Ho
had been suffering only a week firun
plciiio-pnciimonin.
lloth were young people who were
widely known and had ninny friends,
nnd the news of their passing away
"was followed 'by words of saddest ic
gret wherever It was heard.
Mrs. Foley was out on the sticcls on
Wednesday, and attended the matinee
at the Grand In the afternoon. In Hie
evening she was taken sick and during
the night she gave birth to n child. She
showed no strength In rallying and con
tinued to grow weaker until afternoon,
when she died ai 'J o'clock. The infant
survives.
-Mis. Foley's maiden name was Miss
Catherine Jtyan. She was born in
Urover, this stale, in 1SG7, and came to
Carbondale with her husband soun
after their marriage, which took place
In Scranton, a hall-dozen years ago.
During these few years she won a won
derfully large number of friends
through her gentle manner and her
kind spiilt. She was of a delicate
temperament and showed the same re
gard and consideration r.lr otheis that
she hoped for from them. It was this
sense or spirit of consideration thai won
her so many lasting friends. Her mar
ried life was one of the temlorcst de
votion, and her bereaved husband sus
tains an irreparable loss In her sudden
summons. The friends of the deceased
have likewise much to grieve for. The
warm-hearted sympathies of the com
munity go out to Mr. Foley hi his over
whelming sonow. :Mrs, Foley is sur
vived, besides her husband, by a daugh
ter, I.oretta, and an infant. The young
est child, however, is In an extiemely
weak condition.
The deceased will be taken this morn
ing on the S o'clock Delaware and Hud
son train to Scranton and thence to
Canton, this state, w-heie Mrs. Foley's
parents live. Interment wilt probably
take place on Monday.
Dominlck Barrett's Death.
Domlnlck Harrett.tlic young man who
died In Scranton, had been piostrated
with an attack of pneumonia. The dis
ease reached the crisis, when his weak
ened condition caused him to succumb.
Mr. Barrett left Carbondale for Scran
ton a few months ago. He was an in
spector in the air-brake department of
the Delaware and Hudson shops In this
city, but an advanced position being
offered lilm by the Lackawanna com
pany, he accepted, and was beginning
to demonstrate his elileicncy and get
ting in line for promotion when disease
overtook him and ended In his untimely
death.
There was none of the young men of
the city who had more acquaintances
than lie, and lie was universally re
spected. Ho was exceedingly sociable
and readily won and held friends. lie
was a great lover of sports, and from
a lad who knocked the base ball about
the fields or Carbondale, ho developed
Into a player who was eagerly sought
by the managers of the Stat. league.
He pitched for a couple of seasons with
different teams until the Pennsylvania
State league was disorganized. He took
u great pride In upholding the base ball
reputation of Carbondale, his native
town, and ho was always ready to step
Into the breach and win games for the
home team. Many who did not know
him personally became his admirers by
reason of his activity on the base ball
diamond. Mr. Barrett was particularly
held In affectionate regnrd by the young
men of Carbondale, who were greatly
depressed yesterday when they heard
the news of his death. Ho was U7 years
of ago and was born In Carbondale. Ho
is survived by his mother, Mrs, Mary
Barrett, who lives at (14 Canaan street;
one sister, Miss Kmmtu Barrel!, who
lives with her mother, but Is employed
ns clerk in MeCounoll & Co.'s store in
Scranton, and one brother, James llar
rett, of Now Yoik city.
The deceased was taken to his
mother's home, on Canaan street, last
evening, from whenco tho funeral will
lako place. The time of the (uneral will
depend upon tho arrival of his brother,
WILL BE NO CONTEST.
Poor Board Will Probably Reorgan
ize with No Conflict.
The prospects aio that the Caibon
dalo poor board will reorganize and
elect olllcers for tho coming year with
out tho least danger of a deadlock,
The board will meet Monday night, as
It is not Incumbent on the directors to
reorganize at noon of that day, as In
tho case of the councils, for four of the
old board, a quorum, hold over In their
terms. W)illu nonu of the member!) of
the board will speak as to the situation,
It Is shrewdly suspected that thu eleo
lion will Hike place without tho least
frgtlon, Tho threatened contest, it can
be safely guessed, has been averted and
there Is lltto likelihood of a deadlock
ijve,r uity or ihe unices, not excepting
the position of steward at tho poor
farm, which It was femed would be tho
oek on whlcji the boatd would split,
Local Knights of Pythlns.
Curbondale lodge, Np, Jjj-Q, Knights
or Pythias, has decided to Inaugmate
a contest for ney members. To the
one bringing In the largest number of
names during thu next year it hand
some badge or Jewel will bo given. Car
bondale lodge Is one of the strongest
financially In the clly, having several
thousand dollars In the treasury.
Another mutter which Is engaging
the attention of I ho Knights Is a pro
ject to run itu excursion some time
during the summer.
RUN OVER BY CAR.
Driver Boy's Distressing Accident at
Last Chance Mine His Injuries
Are Dangerous.
Aiidrow Palko, a driver buy In the
Lust Chance nllne, met with a tefrrlble
accident while at his work about G
o'clock lust evening, sustaining In
juries that have l educed him to a
condition that Is dangerous.
Palko hnu his hip dislocated and n
hole torn In Ills thigh that loft a wound
thut exposes tho bone. The shock was
severe and the result may be fatal.
The lad was driving his mule with n
car attached, when another car was let
loose and came (lying down tho track.
Before he could get out of harm's way
he was struck and knocked down. The
runaway car passed over his body,
squeezing and crushing his lower body,
though no bones were broken. The
shock, however, was so great that he
may not rally.
' Palko was taken to the home of his
father, Andrew Palko, where Dr. D. L.
Bailey was summoned to care for him.
IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
The recognition of true merit Is al
ways appreciated, oven by those who
are not artecled by such recognition.
This Is exemplltled anew In the case of
the advancement of Carl Roesslger to
the position of manager of the Carbon
dale brewery of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Brewlfig company. Everywhere
throughout the city, In those circles
wheie Mi-. Boesslger is known, the ap
pointment or advancement Is received
sis a bit of news which carries with It
a good deal of pleasure, aside from the
advancement being regarded as some
thing thut was only merited.
Mr. Itoesslger has been the collector
for the brewing company and In that
position there were times when lie
showed his Illness for a higher place.'
It was expected that he would get the
position of manager when Mr. Krantz
left the city, but the company's judg
ment was to tho contrary at the time,
and Mr. Schlmpff got the appointment.
Mr. ltoessiger, however, was no), unap
preciated by the olllcers of the brewing
company, In fact he was constantly
borne In mind for his business qualities,
and when the opportunity cume a few
days ago. when Mr. Schlmpff decided to
change, the appointment came to the
Carbondale man.
Mr. Boesslger bus a wide acquaint
ance in Carbondale and a host of
friends who regard him highly. He Is
one of the town's valued citizens and is
conspicuous in its daily life. His social
side Is well developed and his Influence
is quite n factor In the organizations to
which he belongs. He Is active in the
Gernianias and Is treasurer of the
Mlfchell Hose company.
Leo SchimpIT, who was Mr. Hoesslg
er's predecessor, comes from a family
whose sons have beonsihore than ordi
nal lly siiccessful.lnjnislness enterprises.
All or them have shown the commercial
instinct that counts for success In these
days and in each of them is iu type of
the successful young American, the
man of progress and Indomitable en
ergy, who succeeds because he was
after success with the determination to
make it his own.
Mr. Schlmpff returns to Scranton to
give his attention to the management
of tho silk Industry. In which ho Is In
tel ested, in Xortli Scranton, He has a
similar Interest In Allentown nnd has
connections with several large and
prosperous concerns in Scranton. Dur
ing his stay In Carbondale, though it
was brief, Mr. Schlmpff made numer
ous triends, who heartily wish that he
may continue to hew along the line of
success until ho has achieved all that
he alms at.
Mr. Armbruster has made a good
slierllf, and when he takes up his abode
in uaruanuaie, inter January i next, lie
will add dignity and honor to that City.
Wayne Independent.
The sheriff will be heartily welcome
In Carbondale, whore he has already a
host of friends. No more sunshine or
geniality could possibly be found In
anyone than In happy, good-natured
Charlie Armbruster, as he Is called by
his intimate friends. In Honesdalo ho
Is highly appi eclated, and will leave
there amid the slncerest regrets. Either
as an olllctal or In the plain walks of
life, Mr. Armbruster Is the same, faith
ful and logical and refreshingly unns
sunilng and unaffected. In this case
Honesdale's loss Is Carbondale's gain,
and a big measure or success can bo
predicted for tho genial sheriff after he
settles In Carbondale and widens the
circle of his acquaintance, No one will
welcome him more than the newspaper
men of thu town, who have had occa
sion to know of his pleasant side.
Mr. Armbruster Is here now ns tho
successor to Mr. Boesslger, as collector
for tho brewing company. He will have
quarters in thu Anthracite building and
will niiiko Carbondale his home nfter
January 1 next.
TO CHANGE NOVITIATE.
Novices for Convent Life Will Be Re
ceived Hereafter in Scranton.
Tho novitiate of tho Sisters or lite Im
maculate Heart will bo changed soon,
perhaps In August, from St. iloso con
vent In this clly to the new seminary
or Jit. St. Mary, in Scranton, which Is
almost complete. For over a quarter of
a century, thu candidates for convent
lire have been received at St. Bose,
which gave quite a distinction to the
convent.
It Is likely that tho hoarding school
here wilt bo enlarged after the removal
ol' the novitiate, There will bo consid
erable regiet bver tho change, but
which Is iu the order or things follow
ing thu election of thu new seminary,
which will be the mother hnusu of tho
order,

The greatest musical event In the his

"Judas Maccabeus," on the 2Sth. Every
citizen Is respectfully asked to contri
bute toward tho success of this enter

about seventy-live voices, four ad
mirable soloists and Bauer's full or
chestra mako the admission ree a mere
bagatelle. This, the first oratorio ever
given iu Taylor, should bo made a
financial success. It Is seldom that an
oratorio Is performed In a town of this
size even Scranton and AVIlkes-Barro
give such music on very rare occasions.
It behooves our peoplu to assist In
giving the singers due prominence.
