MASSES AWAY IN HER
I " NINETY-SECOND YEAR
r.
Hbenth of Mrs. Harriet Freeman
Watt, Widow of John Wntt, Por-
haps the Oldest Resident in Car-
bondnle Her Interesting Career.
7 Mrs. Harriot M. Freeman Watt,
v'A-ldow of the Inte John Watt, perhaps
.'the oldest resident In Carbondale,
passed Into eternal sleep at the resi
lience on Salem avenue and Wyoming
'street, early Saturday morning.
PJ Her passing was truly a going to
Bleep, dissolution took place without
"nny perceptible physical disturbance.
The faculties which were active border
ing onto a century of yeuis Just depart
ed and the extraordinary long and hap
py and useful life of Mrs. Wntt eaino
.to an end. Only a short time before the
transition to the other life. Mrs. Wntt
spoke with her wonted strength and
.clearness of mind. "I would like to die
tonight." she said, and her wish was
realized.
The dec-used had been In bed about
seven weeks, but for the past two years
there lias been a gradual lessening of
.vitality, though her rare mentul vigor
.seemed to tcmaln to the last.
.Mrs. Wntt could proudly trace her
lineage to the early New Knglaud
families. She was born In Wellington,
Tolland county, Connecticut, May 9.
"lStl, the daughter ol' David Freeman
mini Ilulda Atwoml, who were likewise
born In New England. Mrs. Watt was
'the last of seven sons and daughters
as follows: David, Truman and Elijah
Freeman, Sarah, wife or Mr. Hondlcy;
Electa, wife of N. D. Fnrnham: Eliza
beth, wife of Tlunnas E. Orler.
In September, 1S17. when Mrs. Wntt
was but six yours of age, her parents
lvlgr.ited to this section. They located
at Canaan, when everything about here
was wilderness, nnd they were no malls
or no lallrn.ids. Wllkes-finrre was but
a hamlet, with the best approach from
hero not more than a bridle path that
worked its way through thick forests.
Kr father was a blacksmith and found
t)3 a worthy occupation on settling
here. John Watt came with his family
from New York to this section In 1SS0
settling in Canaan, nnd wedding Har
riet Freeman, the deceased, on Decem
ber 22, 1S31. Mr. Watt was n foremost
figure In those days and his name will
nlwuys be conspicuous In the history of
the early days of Carbondale and vicin
ity. Mr. and Mrs. Watt came to this
city in 1812, the head of the family
Starting in the milling business In
Providence, assisted by his sons. The
business nourished and In 18(12 the firm
of John Watt & Sons John, Edwin and
W. W. Watt was established. This
a general merchandise store, located In
the building now occupied by Crane'n
dry goods store, and one of the princi
pal mercantile institutions In these
parts. Those interesting facts illustrate
how Important a part that the
family of the deceased played In the
settlement, growth and development of
Carbondale. John Watt, husband of
the deceased passed away June 11, 1SS5,
n year after his leaving business activ
ities uslde.
Mrs. Watt enjoyed the distinction,
and with no little pride, of being the
oldest member of the First Methodist
church of Carbondale. She was receiv
ed during the pastorate of Rev. Mr.
Bcnham, deceased. She was always de
voted in h'cr church work and there
was no effort or sacrifice that she did
not generously make for the spreading
of the church's inlluence. The deep
religious spirit she possessed was borne
in all her relations, as a wife, a mother,
n neighbor and friend. Her life was full
of tenderness and affection for those
who came within her Influence and she
mut have enrncd a bright reward for
her charity, both In deed and word. A
beautiful characteristic was her love for
home, which she always endeavored to
Jill with the sunshine of a loving, for
glvig spirit. Jt was the greatest
source of happiness to lavish affection
on the members of her large family.
During the declining years of her life
every birthday anniversary and at the
blessed Christmas tide w era joyous oc
casions. She gathered her sons nnd
daughters and their chlldien and grand
children about her nnd added to the en
joyment of ..their society by making
various presentations to them. Her
numinous hence, even though coming
in the full evening of her years, will
spread sadness and sorrc.v over this
large family circle.
Six sons and daughters blessed her
marriage with John Watt, all but one of
them, who died In Infancy reached
maturity. The family was: Andrew
Watt, who died August 11, 1901; John
F.dwin Watt, who died June 5, 1901;
Wallace AV. Watt, for many years a
prominent merchant, now retired; Ellz
nhcth. wife of Alfied Pascoe and Belle,
wife of Daniel Scurry.
The following grand-children also
survive: Mrs. Maigaret Watt-Hankins.

OBSERVANCE OP
ST. MICHAEL'S DAY
The Italian Catholics Pny Honor to
Archangel by Religious Cere
monies, Procession and a Display
of Fireworks Edifying Sermon
Preached by the Bev. Father
Hocca, of Old Forge.
Conforming with a custom thai is
sacred In Italy, the Italian Catholics of
Carbondale and vicinity yesterday and
Saturday honored the recurrence of the
feast of St. Michael, the archangel, by
solemn religious services and publlo
demonstrations, which included music
and display of fireworks.
The first observance of this character
in Carbondale was last year, when the
ancient Italian custom was honored,
Tills feast day and its celebration have
u significance among Italians that can
bo likened to the Irish Catholics' means
of honoring St, Patrick, on March 17.
The' custom in Italy Is to huve a num
ber of solemn processions, public In
character, in which whole Catholic
communities join with fervor and
spirit. Circumstances In this country,
of course, alter the means of such ob
servances, which are consequently
smaller; but the spirit of the feast Is
just as strong as in tile native land,
and there is the 'same anticipation of
the day as at home, where, with St.
Anthony's day, it stands ilrst among
the great holidays.
The exercises were conducted by the
congregation of the Church of Our Lady
of Mt. Carmel, and all the processions
and demonstrations took place along
the streets close to the church on Dun
daff btrcet.
Tho celebration began on Saturday
afternoon with musical selections by
the Italian band, or Pittston, which
paraded Dundaff and the streets inter
secting. In the evening, on the lawn of
the church, there was a grand display
of fireworks, conducted by -an Ttulinn
manufacturer of pyrotechnics from
New York city. There was an Immense
throng from all over the city to witness
the illuminations. Prior to this outdoor
display, solemn vespers and benedic
tion took p'lace in the church. Rev. An
tonio Cerruti, the pastor, ofliclatlng, as
sisted by Rev. Fathers Rocca and
Sbrocra.
Two masses were celebrated yester
day morning. The late service, at 10.30,
was a solemn high mass, celebrated by
the pastor. Rev. Antonio Cerruti, as
sisted by Rev. Petrarch Rocca, of Old
Forge, and Rev. Sbiocca, of Scranlon.
Special music was rendered by the
choir.
Rev. Petrarch Rocca, who Is tempor
arily at Old Forge, preached the ser
mon. It was highly eloquent, the soul
ful effort of the young priest being de
clared to be the best sermon ever de
livered before the congregation of Our
Lady of Mt. Carmel. It dwelt on the
feast day of St. Michael, the archangel,
"the captain of the nngels' militia, who
fought, defeated and routed the blight
Lucifer and his legions." The congre
gation, which crowded tho sacred edi
fice, was deeply impressed with the
beautiful, yet forcible, sermon.
Prior to the late mass, tho Pittston
band paraded over a few streets.
Tho conclusion or the celebration
were the parade in tho afternoon, sol
emn vespers, and some noiseless fire
works last evening. Owing to the per
versity of the elements, the procession
over the muddy streets had to be short
ened somewhat. Tho Pittston band, the
Young Men's Italian Catholic societies
of Scranton and Edgerton and a num
ber of Rev. Father Cerrutl's flock made
up the marchers. In the evening, Rev.
Father Cerruti sang 'solemn vespers,
assisted by tho two visiting priests.
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
concluded the religious part of tho cele
bration of St. Michael's day. Later In
the evening, despite tho dampness and
chill of tho night, the Ulsplny of noise
less fireworks was successfully carried
out. This ended tho two days' exer
cises In honor of tho chief of tho
heavenly hosts.

MADE GOOD HALF SOLES.
Tho Fate of Leather Belt on City's
Stone Crushei,
As throwing some light on the mys
terious disappearance of tho clty'B
driving bolt belonging to the fltone
crusher sold recently by councils to
Contractor T. U, Howe of Scranton, the
following Is reprinted from the Satur
day Review, of Sept., 27:
"It Is quite possible that tho council
men who were worrying so much about
that stone crusher belt were wearing
some of It on their feet. You cannot
understand how they could wear It on
their feot? AVhy, that Is very easy. It
was just tho thickness of sole leather
and an a matter of fact It was used
to half sole shoes. It was worn down
good and hard and those who tried it
say It wore like Iron soles. Tho score
or so of men who walked on this belt
will doubtless smile when they rend
these lines. We hope the city will not
call on us to prove who stole the belt,
for thnt( wo should be unable to do.
AVo understand, however, that the belt
was taken while the crusher stood In
the vicinity of ReynHhnnhurst. That
stone crusher has been very much of a
joke over since the city purchused it
for the paving contractors."
From what can bo learned the good
half soles that the belt made are long
since In the land of nowhere. Tins belt
did the disappearing act while the
crusher was lying along tho Honesdnle
branch, where It did service for a while.
Soon hereafter, newly mended shoes
were quite common.
The next Joke (7) tn the belt mystery
will be the carrying out of the resolu
tion Introduced by Common Councilman
Thompson at last Monday night's meet
ing. The resolution provides for the de
livery of the stone crusher "with tho
belt that goes with It,1' or something to
tho same effect.
MUST ELECT COLLECTOR.
Attorney Butler's Opinion on Much
Discussed Question.
The following observation by a well
known citizen was published in Tho
Tribune a few days ago:
"As It appears to be impossible for
the poor board to get a quorum to
gether to elect n collector of taxes, they
may save themselves tho trouble by
looking at nn act passed by the last
legislature, which provides for the col
lection of school nnd poor taxes by the
city treasurer, dated June 20, 1901."
This public expression expressed the
belief of a large number of taxpayers,
who believe the trouble and delay in
electing a poor tax collector might be
obviated by applying the act referred
to. Attorney H. C. Butler, solicitor for
the poor board, says, however, that this
opinion Is not well-founded. The board
must elect its own collector. The Act
of June, 1901, contains this qualifica
tion: "But this act shall not apply to
any tnxes tho collection of which is
regulated by a local law." Now the
condition that obtains here Is that the
collection of taxes for the Carbondale
poor district Is regulated by a local law,
namely, the Act of 1SG0, which created
this district. The act invests the direc
tors with the power to levy taxes and
appoint an agent for tho collection of
the same. As this act has not been re
pealed and makes the local law, which
the Act of 1901 says cannot bo con
flicted with, it remains, Mr. Butler says,
that tho poor board must elect its own
collector.
The directors ore to meet tomorrow
night, when It Is expected that the col
lector will be elected. The assurances
are that there will be a quorum, name
ly, Directors McCabe, Lynch, Thomas
and Burke. There is urgent necessity
for tho election of a collector to gather
In the tnxes, as there is a raft of bills
awaiting payment, with no mountain
ous surplus with which to liquidate
them.
