The full text of verdict of the
coroner's jury in the inquest into
the cause of the death of Bill
Schusco, was “that deceased came
to his death by carelessness due to
his own ignorance.”
Bammum & Bailey's supreme
“thriller” this year is The Auto-
Bolide, which has been introduced
to this country under the name of
“The Dip of Death” It presents
a young and pretty American girl,
who takes a wild plunge into space
in an automobile and finally lands
on a runway, which carries the
auto safely to the hippodrome
track. This startling act is said to
be the real circus sensation of the
year. The date is Friday, Aug.24.

The specifications for the new
trunk live sewer are out and ready

It isa very neat product of the
printer's art, aod contains a com
plete description of the work that
will have to be done in building
the sewer.

HOSPITAL NOTES
Elbert Pruyne of Owens

Mills, N. ¥,and Martin V. Mes
INTHE CY WE
Pipe Line Broke Up the River
and the Oil Floated Down,
Polluting the Local Supply
Many inquiries as to the cause
of the peculiar taste and smell of
the city water during the past few
days have been addressed to the
water company. They investi
gated the cause and are now busily
engaged in remedying it. It was
found that the Standard oil pipeline
a number of miles above Bingham-
ton burst one day last week at the
point where it crosses the river.
The petroleum ran out, completely
covering the surface of the stream
for many miles. This oil floated
down and without the knowledge
of the local company was pumped,
along with the water, into the ress
ervoir, and has permeated the
whole water system. A gang of
men is busily engaged in flushing
the pipes, and the reservoir has
been emptied and is being thor-
oughly washed out. It is thought
that the water will be in normal
condition by tomorrow. The quan
tity of oil that got into the pipes is
in no way injurious to health, and,
aside from the disagreeable taste
and odor, it did no harm.

FREEMAN B. SWEETLAND
Freeman B, Sweetlan died at 11
o'clock last night at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. L. M. Rice, or
South Elmer avenue. He had been
in poor health for the past two
years owing to a stroke of paraly-
sis, Some time ago he became
blind and shortly afterward suffered
a second stroke. This was followed
by a third about two weeks’ ago,
and he was practically unconscious
from that time until he died. The
deceased was born in Broome
county, N. Y., in 1828, He spent
most of his life at Greene, N. VY,
and had lived at Sayre for about
15 months. The funeral will be
private. A short prayer service
conducted by Rev. J. F- Warner,
will take place at the home tomor-
row morning, and the remains will
be taken to Triangle, N, Y, for
burial,
MOVING PARISH BUILDING
Preparations are being made to-
day to move the old parish build-
ing to the back end of the bor
ough lot where it will be used as a
cab shop by James Dyer of Athens
and W. C. Miller of Waverly,
Before the building can be moved
it will be necessary to move the
tool house and lockup back on the
adjoining lot. J. H. Snell of East
Athens is doing the work, The
old building has stood on the
present site for about 30 years, and
Many express doubt as to whether
it will hold together to be moved.
But Mr. Snell thinks that he can
complete the job without mishap.
OR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” as
played by the Bennett-Moulton
Company at the park last night
proved a strong magnet to draw
the crowds, and they were amply
repaid. - Mr. Tidmarsh more than
made good in the difficult dual role
of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and
the balance of the company gave
him the best of support. The bill
will be repeated this evening and
new specialties will be shown, with
new illustrated songs. On Friday
might “Faust” will be presented,
and an adequate production is
promised,
JANES KIRKLAND
James Kirkland, the two year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Kirk-
land of North Lehigh avenue died
at § o'clock yesterday afternoon
from cerebrospinal meningitis,
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at

The Partello Stock Company, an
entirely aew one, and considered
the most perfect of repertoire or-
ginizations, will open an engrage-
meat at Oak Grove park, Monday
evening, August 13 Each pro
duction will be as complete as the
most advanced stage management
can make it. The company in
itself is composed of clever people
who have already made a name for
themselves in this field, and is
headed by Miss Alice Kennedy, a
most magnetic and charming little
leadiag lady, and Harry J. Leland
in the principal comedy parts.
Every part he essays bears the
stamp of originality and his work
shows a versatility far beyond his
years. The strength of the com-
pany, the many bright specialties,
elaborate scenic effects and super~
ior selection of plays, should make
this engagement one of special in-
terest. It has been the object of
the firm to provide a series of pros
ductions which equal each other
in strength and to make them as
complete in detail as possible,
Manager Partello has gone to con-~
siderable expense in the matter of
vaudeville and has secured as an
extra attraction Bohee & Hyers,
the Cuban nightingales, who made
such on emphatic hit at the opera
house last season with his Bennett
Moulton Company. The opening
bill of the engagement will be
“The College Girl,” written ex-
pressly for this company by Mr.
Justin Adams, author of * Quincy
Adams Sawyer” and other success-
es. The parts allotted to Miss
Kennedy and Mr, Leland fit them
down to the ground, and the bal-
ance of the company have roles
that will bring out the full dramatic
worth of each member,

S Fieldman of New York city
delivered a lecture last evening on

hose rooms. There was a good

An accident was narrowly avert
ed on North Elmer avenue last
night just above the point where
the horse was killed by the street
car a few days ago. The south~
bound car that reaches the Des.
mond street switch at 6:48 missed
striking a buggy by a very few
inches, and the fault lay with the
woman who was driving. She
drove across the track ahead of the
car, and in turning after crossing
the track she drove directly into
the car. The motorman reversed
the power and stopped the car just
in time to avert a collision. The
car was delayed a few moments by
the damage to the connections due
to reversing, The woman contin
ued on up the avenue, apparently
indifferent to her narrow escape,

Mercereau of this place. The fun
eral will be held at Ulster tomor-
row afternoon and will be con
ducted by the Rev. Dr. J, S. Stuart
of Towanda, assisted by the Rev

and against the fence in front of the
home of J B Kitchen, smashing a

any extent. The horse was some-
what cut but was able to proceed
without delay.
