ANCIENT BELL CLLS
TO CHRISTIAN WORSHIP
The accompanying plcturo shows tho
Jnp.ineho bell which linngs In the tower
of the Green Rldgo Presbyterian chinch
and which was presented to the chuieli
by 13, B. Sturges. Mr. Sturges pur
chased tho bell diuinir his recent tour
of the east, and converted to Christian
uses a bell that had long called to the
worship of false gods. It Is not u loud,
but a particularly sweet toned bell that
attracts attention and cumiuem when
ever sounded.
As stated heretofore In Tho Tribune,
the bell Is supposed to be nearly three
hundred years old, and for generation
after generation called the faithful to
worship at a Buddlst temple In Kyoto,
Japan. It is of bronze alloy, and much
thinner than tho bells of today. It will
be observed that the shapo of it Is also
very much different and that consider
able effort was spent In exterior decor
ation, Seven hundred pounds Is tha
weight of tho bell, and It stands four
feet high.
Becatibo of tho thinness of the sides
of tho bell, there Is a lim or flange on
the Inside nt the bottom, against which
the striker knocks In ringing. The stilker does not come In contact with the
sides at all, as in tho modern bell. The congregation of the Green It Idee
church Is Immensely proud of the new

Used the Down Track.
Since work was begun on the Piovl
denci' load pave some time ago all
c.ir.s bound north have used the down
Hack from a point near Diamond ave
nue aboutone-hulf the distance io
Coiut street. They have "back

On Saturday afternoon about l.l."
o'clock an old car used by tho com
pany in the transportation of culm
from the Hull's Head colliery to the
power hntine on Providence road
stopptd near the cut-over below Court
street lo permit a north-bound car to
back onto the north-bound track. The
culm car was in charge of Motormnn
A. Cohin, who was assisted by an
Italian laborer named Domlnlck Boca
cauo. It Is understood that Cohin made no
attempt whatever to go back along the
line and signal any other Inbound car
to stop, despite the fact that there Is
a sleep grade at the point where his
car was stalled and that a sharp curve
would prevent the motoimnn of an ap
proaching car from seeing It until
within less than llfty teet.
At any rate Car No. llfl. loaded with
upwards of sixty passengers, and ten
minutes late left Providence square
about -1.12 o'clock. It was in chaige
of Motorman H. II. Garren, who was
desirous of making up lost time, nnd
who kept the car bowling along at a
pretty lively clip.
As far as can be learned he did not
appreciably slacken speed after pass
lug Court street and knew nothing of
the culm car ahead until warned by a
cry from a passenger on the platform
who spied it as Car No. 149 was round
ing the curve.
Rails Were Slippery.
finrren put on the brakes, but the
mils weie slippery and the car slack
ened speed only slightly. Garren, re
alizing a collision to he Inevitable,
jumped fioni the car after warning
the passengeis inside of their danger.
The latter gave startled screams of
terror, and had no time to prepare
themselves for the shock of the col
lision before It came.
Wright, who was standing on the
front platform, was pinned against tho
fiont of the car by the vestibule, which
was broken In pieces by the force of
the collision. McDonough, who was
also on the front platform, was caught
In a similar manner.
Inside the ear the passengers were
thrown lu n confused heap on the
Moor, nnd In the wild stampede which
followed many were trampled upon
and sustained serious Injuries. A num
ber were cut by Hying hits or glass
from the shattered vestibule and brok
en windows.
Wright was rendered unconscious
and was removed to the Lackawanna
hospital, where ho was found to havo
sustained a fi act tired skull as well us
a broken jaw and a broken leg. lie
lived until shortly after 6 o'clock, when
ho passed away, having never regained
consciousness. The other Injured pas
sengers were taken Into the Kureka
house and Into dwellings nearby, and
were cared for by a number of physi-
bell.

A Statement of Facts
by a Scranton
Citizen..
It Is an easy matter for every Scrnn
tou reader to verify the following:
Tho statement Is made by a resident
who can be seen at any time and who
will gladly tell you about Scrantou ex
perience with Doun's Kidney Pills.
Ml. John Citvaiiitugli, of R3" Orchard
street, South Ride, employed lu one of
the largo stepl mills, says: "One box
ot Doun's Kidney Pills cured me of a
pain across my kidneys, which I suf
fered ft out for years. . I have been so
ld Ihnt 1 could not bend over without
gteitt pain. If I took cold It became
very much mote severe. 1 used all
kinds of remedies and wore plasters
for weeks, but without giving mc re
lief, until 1 procured Doan's Kidney
Pills f i om Matthews Bros.' drug store.

not seriously damaged otherwise. The
rear end of the culm car was stove

half an hour.
Calvin Did Not Go Back.
The olllcials of the railway company
admit that Calvin did not go back to
signal car No. 149, after the culm car
had slopped, but explain this by say
ing that he (Cuhin) supposed that
Garren had seen the car and would
proceed carefully lu coming around Hie
corner. Gairen's failure to stop his car
or materially slacken Its speed they at

rails due to the rain,
