J. ALFRED PENNINGTON, Director
HAD A DREARY OPENING.
Elks' Carnival Starts Out with Tin-
t
propitious Weather and a Bather
Small Attendance.
Rain throughout the day and early
evening caused the Elks' carnival to
have a rather damp and dreary open
ing last night. A big ciowd Is an abso
lute essential to the success of an af
fair of this kind nnd as the rain kept
tho attendance down to rather small
sized proportions, the opening was un
fortunately wanting In this requisite
of supcess.
Those who took It for granted that
the arrangements would be completed
and that the weather was not going to
be altogether unendurable wero not
greatly disappointed. The shows were
all in readiness when the gates opened
nnd the affair was under way less than
an hour when the rain ceased.
Big crowds can be safely counted
upon If the weather Improves, for tho
show Is all that is expected of it. Tho
features are presented as advertised
and they are many and varied.
The principal attractions are the
Ferari wild animal show, Esau, the
blographet, German village, dog and
monkey show, Cingalese village, streets
of Calio, wild Aztec girls, snake charm
er, country store, gondolas, Ferris
wheel and trapeze performers.
Esau, the educated chimpanzee Is the
most wonderful feature of the carnival.
He dresses, eats, and In many ways
acts like a human being, and as one
watches his performance the idea is
gained that he Is human rather than
brute. ,
What, however, proves the most In
teresting feature of tho whole thing is
the midway mountebank's methods of
attracting a -crowd. Every conceivable
kind of din maker ever used on a mid
way is drafted into his service. Infer
nal noise machines tear all kinds , of
apertures in the atmosphere as they
are operated ill front of the different
shows, in total disregard of the fact
that they drown tho announcements
of the neighboring "barker." Pistol
hhots, wild shrieks and red fire are
some of the comparatively new methods
of attracting attention, and they work
effectively.
The grojinds are well arranged and
brilliantly" Illuminated. A laigo num
ber of booths advetrislng the wares of
local merchants intersperse the show
tents.
Tho formal opening of the carnival
was preceded by a parade of the Elks.
ltecoraer tjonneu, uirecior 01 rumit
Safety Wormier and members ot the
Elks' carnival committee rodo In car
riages at the head of the procession.
The gates were foi mally opened by Re
corder Conncll when the parade reached
the grounds, about 8 o'clock.
The carnival will continue all week,
opening each day at 1 o'clock p. m.,
with the exception of July 4, when tho
gates will open at 8 o'clock a. m.
The carnival yesterday selected Hon.
John E. Barrett, of the Truth; R. M.
Scranton, of the Republican; E. J. Ly
nett, of the Times and L..S. Richard, of
The Tribune to supervise the chancing
off of the automobile.
NO HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Director of Public Safety Declares
Against Them.
Director of Public Safety F. L.
Wormscr is against the loud and hilari
ous celebiatlon of July 4, and yesterday
Issued an order In which he says that
"the use of cannon llrecrnckeis, small
cannons and other high and dangerous
explosives Is 11 violation of Section 37 of
the law regarding nuisances. No per
son will be permitted to discharge flre
woiks of any description within one
city block of any public or private hos
pital within the limits of the city during
the celebiatlon Incidental to the Fourth
of July."
Tho police force Is directed by tho
director to enforce the law strictly re
garding the use ot explosives.

CHANGES IN CITY HALL.
Booms of Department of
Safety to Bo Moved to
Fourth Floor.
Public
the
City hall officials arc cdnslderably In
terested In the passage of the ordinance
calling for the finishing of the fourth
floor of the municipal .building, and the
putting in of an elevator,
The fourth floor will be rapidly put
Into proper shape, and the offices of
the department of public safety will be
then moved to It. They will be located
at the southeily side of the building.
The offices of each bureau of the de
partment will be so arranged as to be
In direct communication with each
other.
This will leave vacant Director ot
Public Safety F. L. Wormser's office
and Superintendent of Police Day's
quarters on the first floor, the office of
the bureau of health on the second
floor, and the present quarters of Super
intendent of Building Inspection F. L.
Brown and Superintendent of tho
Bureau of Fire H. F. Ferber, on the
third floor.
The latter two offices will probably bet
annexed to the rooms of the depart
ment of public works, and the other
offices are being sought by other of the
city officials. Superintendent of Public
Schools George Phillips Is desirous of
moving to the bureau of health's office,
and there Is a possibility that Superin
tendent Day's office will be used for a
file room.
MAY PROVE FATAL. -
Woman Who Was Accidentally Shot
at Johnson's Patch Is Critically
111 of Blood Poisoning.
Mrs. Cecilia Kelly, who was shot ac
cidentally by a boy named Robert Mil
ler in a field near Johnson's patch, on
the night of June 2, Is lying In a criti
cal condition at her home, No. 13 Park
er street, Notth Scranton.
The attending physicians said last
night She might not live till morning.
The bullet struck her in the bosom,
but was checked by a rib and the
wound was considered to be only trivial.
After being In tho Lackawanna hospi
tal for two weeks she was -discharged
and went home to be cared for further
by her family physician. All danger
of results had apparently passed, but
the symptoms, it seems, were mislead
ing, for a week ago, blood poisoning
set In and now Mrs. Kelly Is In danger
of death.
The shooting was a rather peculiar
accident. Mis. Kelly, In company with
a neighbor, went to see a man in John
son's patch for the purpose of renting
a house. The man was not at home
and the two sat down in a field near the
house to await his return. While seut
ed there In the dark, young Miller hap
pened along tho Erie track with a"llo
bcrt rifle and fired a shot at some maik
or other. Tho bullet missed the mark
and sped on into tlie field, striking Mis.
Kelly. The boy heard her scream and
rnn to inquire what had happened.
When he realized that he had Bhot a
woman ho disappeared, but afterwards
disclosed himself.
