The deceased reached here last night on the 10.10 Delaware and Hudnon train, coming over the Eric and Wyo ming Valley division of the Krlo to Scran I on. The funeral -will take place today. Services will be' held at the Morgan home, Salem avenue and Spring street, commencing at 2 p. in., by Hew Charles I-ee, pastor of the Kirst Presbyterian church, of which Morgan had been a member for several years. Services will be public, but burial, which will be ' In Brooksldc cemetery, will be private. The obsequies will be attended by the members of the Carbondale High school, class of 'OH: the Carbondale Ten nis club, and Dr. W. V. Fletcher's .Sunday school class of the First Pies bytnrian Sundny school. Tim filling of the canoe was not due to a leak, but to a wave which caught vhe rear of the craft as It shot down fecial- Rift, which left behind them all the dangerous places In the river. Crane and nnlhrope. who were lightly dressed, having-been In bathing further up the river, struck for the Pennsyl vania shore. Morgan, who was fully and heavily dressed, went in an oppo site direction, which was against tho current, while the others swam with the current. Crane shouted for Mor gan to follow him, but the latter evi dently did not hear the direction. In the meantime, I.athrope, becoming somewhat played out, having taken in considerable water, shouted for help to ' Crane. In the few minutes that fol lowed, Crane was tho principal of a thrilling and heroic rescue. He took Lathropo on his back and was swim ming for the shore, when the canoe paddle struck his foot, This he secured and with it guided Lathrope along by the chin, until Fortune sent the canoe towards them. Crane, with most re- Jrnarkable presence of mind and with a 7.itrength borne of their desperate cir cumstances, placed Lathropo In tho canoe, directing him to remain in it, regardless of where it might drift. Crane, forgetful wholly of himself, turned to where he had seen Morgan only an instant before, struggling , against tho current, but he was miss ing; he had gone down. Crane con tinued to swim nbout and search for Morgan, but to no avail. He sank with out tho least outcry, and was probably rendered helpless by an attack of cramps. His heavy clothing was a fac tor in his helplessness. Lathrope, In tho meantime, floated down the stream 'or half a mile, when a farmer rescued Mm and worked over him for half an hour to restore him. Ho was in an cx hiyisted state for several hours. The farmers In the vicinity refused to assist Crane or Lathropo with money, though they knew both young men's belongings were lost in the river. Neither of the young men was sup plied with clothing until their Carbon dale friends arrived: and it was only when a reward of $100 was offered by J. L. Morgan, of Dinghamton, on uncle of tho deceased, and the Carbondnllnns readily offered the farmers remuner ation, that they agreed to do any searching, Morgan intended to meet some friends at Port Jervls, which accounts for his being so fully dressed, SCHOOLMATES' ACTION. The class of '02 met in tho central school building on Saturday afternoon and took action on tho death of their Deloved member, the late William Mor .gan. Two committees, one composed of Katie Purcell, Alice Morrison, Nellie Crocker and Walter Loftus, were ap- '. pointed to draw up suitable resolutions in his memory; another, Minnie Fln eren, Maud Stephens and Walter Qulnn, to purchase appropriate (lowers, It was also decided to attend the obsequies In n body and have the class (lag placed . at half-mast on tho school flagpole.

Hayseed Dllnds Chestnut Borough Correspondent In Base Ball Story, Tho Trncoyvllle dust and tho loose hayseed which disfigured tho Carbon dale delegation, while In the Chestnut borough on Saturday, nlso got Into the eyes of the Truth's correspondent, causing him to sec the game this wise, His befogged, his one-sided well, his iloncsdalo opinion of the contest is ub follows: Saturday the far-fnmed," self-lauded "Pels' 'of Iho Windy City came over tho Moosles, reinforced by rooteis three hun dred strong. They wein accompanied by the whole newspaper fraternity, among whom was "Tho Hero" and others of equal solf-arknnwiodgcd fame. Tho Curb Htoac society was also among tho "push." In fact. Carbondale emtio prepared to vanquish tho Maple City boys by fair or foul means, hut In spite of all this tho Tigers proved themselves thn undis puted champions of Northeastern Penn sylvania. Our boys played ,a gentlemanly and scientific game from start to llnlsh, while their opponents employed every 'lodge known lo the huso ball world to win. Now, Carbondale, are you satlsllcd to own up for once, at least, that you were beaten. Uut no, you won't. You never did. Yon will find some back door to crawl through and plume your lorn and tattered feathers. Pcrhap they will turn back and put up a shout about tho games at Lake I.odorc. when they de feated a picked team, but they cannot boast of a single Ignominious defeat In the last seven years, as a glance at the ofllelal scores will show . that out of twenty games in tho last' seven yours, Carbondale won but three. The 12.15 tri'ln, bearing the team and rooters, was a half bonr lute, not arriving until 12.4.". With six heavily loaded curs they came, with a blaring of megaphones, horns, etc., and It was a laughable affair to sec "The Hero" and his "Pets" attempting to get their Instruments under their coats. The "crunks" paraded the streets and then repaired to the ball grounds, and It was through no fault of theirs that the "Pets" were soundly trounced. The game wos leplote with brilliant plays, Ifoncdalo winning on merits. Carliondale stood by Us old reputation of kicking, and when Ifcitiesdale made Its first run they crowd ed on the ili'imoml und attempted to break up the game. Managers, policemen and ull alike were uiuiblo to quell tho riot, lint at this time Mr. M. T. O'Mulley proved himself a "Hero" In a good cause, lfe went out among the strpllngs and quelled the disturbance. COUNCILS WANT ' THAT LIGHT CONTRACT Voted Down Motion to Make a Three or Five Year One for City Hall and Hose Houses Contract Divided. As forecasted In The Tribune a few days ago, councils in joint session last night adopted the light committee's re port, recommending awarding the con tract for lighting the city building lo the Carbondale Gas company and the lighting of the two hose houses to the Lackawanna Valley Electric Light company. The ordinances awarding the contract will now go through coun cils in regular order. Mr. Humphrey wanted a contract for three or Ave years for the purpose of getttlns lower rales. He could not see the necessity for readvertislng every year. Ills motion was opposed by Mr. Sahm, who bused his argument on the be lief that the city would get better ser vice by not having a long contract. He had sufficient supporters to vote down the motion, the vote against the longer contract being eight to seven, as fol lows For Barrett, Ilumplney, Davis, Thomp son, Puglliiuo, Nealon, Kennedy 7. Against Munition, Solomon, Sahm, Clark, Whitfield, Cook, Musters, Hobbs. Common council at Its meeting passed the Clark license ordinance; 11 nally ordered the sidewalk ordinance to be printed, and passed the ordinance for a hydrant at Fall Brook street on two readings. Tho meeting of select council, before tho joint session, was exceedingly brief. Resides tho presentation of the city solictor's opinion with reference to tire lighting contract, which was re ported In detail yesterday, two reso lutions, as follows, were adopted: Mr. Humphrey Providing for cross walks at Terrace and Wyoming streets. Mr. Mnnnion Providing for cross walks at Battle avenue and Pike street. A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE. Manager Clock, of the Postal Com pany, Terribly Shocked by Live Wire, While Climbing a Pole. Manager Fred Clock, of the Postal Telegraph company's local oflice, was tearfully shocked yesterday by being Informally introduced to a live wire. Tho effect was a shock that vibrated through every muscle and fibre of one side of ills body, temporarily reducing him to a terribly weakened condition. Mr. Clock had ills fearful experience in front of John Gilbert's store, Salem avenue and Church street. His mission was to adjust some of his company's wires, To do this, it was necessary to climb a tul! pole, which ho mounted by means of spikes. Tho fifth of tho spikes on one side or the pole is touched by n passing wire of the eieetrlu light company. Tho Insulation of tho wire has worn off where It rests on tho step, and when Clock unsuspectingly took hold to assist In climbing to the top, ho received iiiterrlble shock. He felt that the grip of ten thousand men hail hold of his nrin, Tho muscles fairly danced, then twisted and danced again, alternating with more twists that camo and went with tho speed ot the views of tho picture machines, Mr. Clock was In agony and In his terrible distress lie yelled aloud. Ills scream was so piercing that it was heard in stores down the block and drew tho occupants to tho doors, wondering who was in his death throes.. Not only Mils arm, but all of, his body responded to tho force of tho alternating current, It has often been tho experience of line men so shocked that they are held so tightly to tho object which is charged Hint they cannot leuvo go, Clock was In this way for a minute, but the posl tlon ho was in seemed to give hlni n leverage, by which he released himself, By the time ho descended the pole, he was exceedingly weak, though he rul ll9,rulto rapidly. He was going to re mount the pole, but decided to aban don the task for tho day, at least. He was tiblo to continue at work, ufter a rest, though his arm was stiff and re quired constant exercising for some time to arouse circulation, A Week's Fishing Trip.

City Solicitor Stuart's Opinion with Eeferenco to Light Contract. At lust night's meeting of select council, the bill for street lighting for May, which was held up In committee, pending an' opinion of City Solicitor Stuart, was ordered paid, by both branches, after the following opinion from the city solicitor had been read: in reference to your inquiry ns to tho validity of the claim of tho Lackawanna, Valley Electric Light and Power Supply company for light furnished during tho month of May last ns shown by their bill of Mny 31, 1!0:', would ,say that I seo no reason why said bill Is not a valid claim against the city under that con tract now existing between said company and the city, entered into In the early part of tho year. I am informed that a question was raised as to the validity of tho contract by reason of tho con tract providing for a term of threo years, beginning April 1, 1901. The contract pro viding for tho lighting of tho streets went Into effect when tho ordinances providing for said contract became a law. The fact that tho contract was not for mally put Into writing and signed at that time does not make It tho less an ex isting contract, and the company could recover for tho service performed accord ing to the terms or It. An objection might be made to that part of tho service rendered between April 1, 1901. and tho time of the entering Into of tho contract of 1902, as no contract was in existence during tho period of that service; but tho company could collect tho reasonable value of said service; and as the city and company have agreed by tho rendering and paying of the bills during that time the matter has been disposed of and cannot affect the accom panying bill for May last, While tho contract aforesaid was not retroactive from April 1, l!K)l, up to the time tho con tract went Into effect, yet tho city re ceived tho benefits of tho reduced rates; and the said contract has been in force since the said ordinance became a law.
