FRED J. THOMAS MADE
THIRD WARD ALDERMAN
Received Hl3 Appointment Yesterday
from Governor Stone Appointee a
jetnrd Worker In Eepubllcan Ranks.
Well Known Throughout Ity.
II Is now Alderman Fred J. Thomns.
Tho appointment bestowing the
ermine ot tlio Third ward, came yes
terday from Governor atone, through
Secretary of the Commonwealth W. W.
FRKD J. THOMAS.
Appointed as Successor to I.ato Alclermnn
William Slorrison, of Third Ward.
Grlcst. The appointment, as Is gen
erally known, is to succeed the late
Hon. William Morrison, who died, In
office, on June 11. The notification of
this appointment read as follows:
OlTlco of the Secretary of the Common
wealth, Slato of Pennsylvania.
Harrlsburg. July II, 1!02.
The governor has appointed you to the
office of alderman In and for the Third
ward of the city of Carbomlalc, T.ackn
wanna county. I havo accordingly for
warded your commission to the recorder
of deeds of your county, of whom you
may obtain It upon fulfilling the 10
qulrcments of law relating thereto.'
.Very Respectfully yours,
W. W. driest.
Secretary of Commonwealth.
To Fred J. Thomas,
Carhondale, Pa.
The news of the appointment will not
be a surprise, as it was. shrewdly sus
pected that the late Alderman Mor
rison's successor would be Mr. Thomas.
Of the aspirants on the Republican
side no one was conceded to have
bright chances of success other than
Mr. Thomas. Ills petition was looked
upon as having the greatest weight
with the powers at Harrlsburg. Al
derman Thomas has been perhaps the
most earnest worker in Republican pol
ities In the Third ward, therefore the
appointment can bo rightly interpreted
as the recognition that was due his
efforts for party success when an op
portunity like this came up. It is safe
to say that no appointment could he
received with, greater favor among the
voters of the ward. Aside from the
claims that the now alderman might
put forth on the party score, his fit
ness for the office was as important, a
factor in deciding that he should he
come Alderman Morrison's successor.
Alderman Thomas Is widely known
throughout the city and claims as wide
a circle of friends as any of the
younger men of Carbondale. The
news, therefore, of his appointment
will be a source of congratulation
among a legion of voters. Until a few
months ago, Mr. Thomas was chief
clerk in the Erie freight olllce. He is
connected with numerous fraternal or
ganizations, and is particularly active
in Carbondale lodge, Knights of Pyth
ias. Alderman Thomas will have his onice
In the same building, at South Main
street and Eighth avenue, where the
late Alderman Morrison had his quar
ters as magistrate. The new alderman
takes his seat today amid the sincere
best wishes of his friends.
Among the Republicans who were
named in connection with the appoint
ment were Hon. M. T. Burke, G. W.
Hughes, 'Squire Tuttle, and Timothy
Gilhool and Common Councilman John
Noaloa among the Democrats.

SAD OBSEQUIES.
Young William. D. Morgan' Victim
of Drowning Accident, at Best.
Rarely sad and mournful obsequies
marked the laying to rest yesterday of
the late William David Morgan, whoso
pleasure trip along the Delaware had a
tragic climax, In his death.
The sadly Impressive services began
at 2 o'clock at the Morgan residence,
Lincoln avenuu and Spring street,
where there was an universal outpour
ing of friends, particularly the young
friends and' associated of the departed
young man. The occasion was sad to
the extent that It was depressing; It
presented 11 spectacle that has seldom
been witnessed at a funeral In Carbon
da In.
The purple plush casket, which en
closed the deceased, was In the parlor,
covered and surrounded with floral of
ferings, that were symbols of the sweet
frlcndstyp of his associates. The Ten
nis club of the Presbyterian Sunday
school class, the class of '02 of the High
school, the young ladles of the L. S. C.
each presented a magnificent design. .
Rev. Charles Lee, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, of which the de
ceased was a member, conducted Ihe
solemn services. During the services
the qunrtette.composed of W. M, Clark,
A. P. Thomas, H. F. Clark and Albert
Estabrook, sang two hymns that were
favorites of the deceased. They were
"I Know That My Redeemer Lives"
and "When the Mists Have Rolled
Awav."
Rev. Mr. Lee, In his Scriptural read
ing, gave lessons that counseled pa
tience in trials and thnt promised a
newer life after the sufferings of earth.
For his text, Rev. Mr. Lee took these
words from the fiftieth verse, sixth
chapter of St. Mark: "It Is I; be not
afraid." He applied these .words to the
sorrow and grief of this occasion and
counseled the dear ones so sorely af
flicted to remember that It was God
who did this and ft1 was He who could
and would sustain them as these words
promise.
"It is not kind to describe at length
the sor.-ow of this time, tearing open
afresh the bleeding wounds. Each
heart feels the gloom. From the prom
ising threshold of life a young man has
been snatched. Out of a band of hap
py schoolmates one is missing. in
church and Sunday school and young
people's "meeting there is a vacancy
made by the sudden removal of a fa
miliar form. One link in the chain of
friendship seems gone. In the home
but why try to describe the unspeak
able, the Inexpressible. It Is a time of
deep anguish. Rut listen! A voice of
infinite love, of greatest sympathy, nf
boundless power, whispers: "It is 1;
be not afraid."
Speaking of the lesson of the afflic
tion, Rev. Mr. Lee said:
"Hero is told us the permanency of
Christian character. There are some
we love for two reasons, one because
they are In our circle, are of our fam
ily. Such love a mother gives her help
less Infant. But an added affection
comes toward those who possess lov
able qualities. With this double ten
derness we love him who is gone. lie
had the character that charms. His
purity, his kindness, his charitable dis
position, his faithfulness endeared him.
But the crown of all was his faith In
Jesus. Two years and a half ago ho
publicly confessed Christ. Those who
knew him best are most certain of his
sincerity nnd Christian life. This
trust in the Saviour makes all char
acter permanent. He lives. The Chris
tian may sar:
"There Is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And bright In heaven's jewelled crown
They shine forevermore."
Burial was in Brooksldo cemetery.
The following of his associates acted
as pallbearers: Silas McMullen, John
Morgan, Claude Oliver. Albert Ruther
ford, Rexford Lathrnpe and Albert
Crane. The flower bearers wore: Fred
erick Berry, Dean Bassett, William
Swigert, Maxwell Shepherd and Rus
sell Jones, of this city, and T. R. Sur
dam, of Forest City.
In connection with Morgan's death,
a now version comes from Port Jervis.
It Is said that he came In contact with
a sharp stone, which was covered by
the high waters of the Delaware, but
is now visible. It Is believed ho struck
his right temple, where there Is a gash,
and that stunned, ho sank to the bot
tom. Morgan's .hands, when he was
found, wore clasped about his head.
which would seem to indicate that ho
raised them to the stricken spot, as
one naturally would.
STILL MORE OF IT.
Haying Time Is Bad for the Hones
dale Newspaper Men Other Base
Ball News.
These days, when the fields of .Hones
dale are full of now mown hay, are had
days for the coluinn-a-day or portmnula
newspaper men of C'hestnutville. Listen
to this hayseed stuff In last night's
Truth:
"Hilly JUIler, about whom you
wrlto, 'four ounce tales,' Is a resident
ot Honesdale, and Is employed in tlio
Allen House tonsorlal parlors by 13.
Brunduge, Therefore, tho said .Miller
was eligible, and Is a member of tho
local team."
Wo repeat and can provo t that
when Sillier was ashed to pluy against
Carbondale he was not a Honesdalo
resilient aim no was not employed In
the Allen house barber shop, He came
lip from Port Jervis to play under
salary, and was paid extra for baso
hits, etc, which alono made I1I111 a pro.
fesslonal and disbarred him from tho
game.. This Manager Deltrlck can't
deny, though ho might try to. Miller
may or may not be working in Hones
dale, today, but ho was not working
there luBt week. AVe havo only to refer
to the paper of Miller's own home to
confirm what wo tay. Says the Port
Jervla Mirror, of last Friday:
" 'Billy' Miller, of this village, will go
to Honesdale tomorrow to assist the
tossers of that place In u game with
Carhondale."
And "Billy" did come to Honesdale,
on train 13 on the Erie; and he was
paid for t.,
Now let 'er go Gilllagherl or do you
want more proof, -j
Once more we read! "Manager Dll
trlch nsdcrts that In his conversation
with Manager Tappan he (Dlttrlck)
agreed to have nn all Honesdalo team,
and lie kept lils word faithfully."
Yes, certainly, he kept his Word nnd
faithfully, too, according to his Way of
doing such things, '
More hayseed i "Concerning the fair
ness of Umpire Spencer, your repre
sentative wishes to say that Mr. Spen
cer wan fair In nil his decisions, nnd ns
an offlclal In that capacity ho Is un
excelled, Moreover, probnhly the Car
bondale representative will remember
approaching Umpire Spencer nfter ho
made a certain decision and remarked:
'You are right Mr. Spencer! that Is
fair.' ' As to any spectator noticing Mr.
Spencer making signs to the pitcher It
Is absolutely false, and the spectator's
'lamps need trimming."
Spencer was certainly fair, Judged by
Itoncsdalc standards of fairness. Nuff
ccd.
No Carbondale newspaper man ever
told Spencer ho was fair; his conscience
wouldn't let him. There's Boniebody
kidding the personal editor.
As to the signaling to pitchers well
what's the use? Everybody out side of
Honesdalo knows what jugglers of
words there are In the Chestnut
borough.
This Is tlorco; listen: "Again, the
Carbondale correspondent stutes that
MeAndrew had the best of the pitcher's
battle. A glance at the score will prove
the absurdity ot this statement, when
Hessllng gave one base on balls; Me
Andrew, 2; hit by pitcher By Me
Andrew, 4; by Hessllng, 1. Struck out
By MeAndrew, 3; by Hessllng, 6.
Does this look as If MeAndrew had the
best of the game Well, hardly."
If we stated facts In answer to this,
we might hurt some one's- feelings; so
we'll be charitable.
Will Improve Duffy's Field.
Within a' few days there will be a
new base ball diamond on Duffy's field.
Under the direction of Ned Gordon, a
gang of men will commence the work
this morning of scraping the sod and
filling In the gulleys and hollow spots.
The diamond will be swung around so
that the players will bat In the direction
of the railroad, in a southeasterly direc
tion. A new back-stop Is to be erected
by Abe Salem and It is likely that
bleachers will bo put up. The right
field will be about where center field
Is at the present time. This will be a
welcome change as It will obviate the
necessity of chasing balls Into the
ravine along the edge of the field. Ned
Gordon, who Is doing the work, knows
his business and a fine new diamond
can be looked for, a diamond, where
fast ball can he put up, faster ball
than in the somewhat lumpy and
broken field of the past. Any men or
youths who may volunteer to assist in
the work will be welcome.
The Game Saturday.
Carboiulale's next game will be on
Saturday when our pets will go ( to
Susquehanna to buck the laddies from
that place, laddies who know how to
play the game, and above all, ball
players who know how to deal out fair
play. Cnrboiulallans, therefore, can
expect hospitable treatment, should
they go with the team; 'twont be like
in Honpsdale.
The game after the Susquehanna
meeting will bo In this city with the
Starlights, of South Scrantou, a swift
team. Then on AVednesday, the 23rd,
our pets play the seml-professlonals of
Port Jervis, at Lake Lodore. With
them will be Miller, the strong man of
Saturday's game at Honesdule. This
will be a great game. It will he played
on the occasion of the excursion of the
Never Sink Hose company, of Port
Jervis, to Lake Lodore.
It behoves Carbondallans to attest
their loyalty to our "pots" by respond
ing to the appeal for funds that Mana
ger Tappan is making. It takes con
siderable money to meet the expense ot
visiting teams and as the club needs
gloves, suits, etc., and improvements
are under way at Duffy s field, there Is
pressing need of money.
The Crescents and their promoters
have done much to keep the name of
Carbondale before the people of the
valley, so local pride should Impel our
towns people to be generous.
It's up to Honesdalo now to make
good by coming to Carbondale to play
a return game. Wo can assure Mana
ger Dlttrlck Ills men will be hospitably
cared for and will not havo to mope lo
and from the grounds, alone. Even
Darkey Miller will bo warmly wel
comed. Ought to Know Better.
