BLOODHOUNDS ON TRAIL.
$.r00 Reward Offered by the Father,
of the Jordan Hoy.
The Scranton Truth of Monday
says:
An effort to secure bloodhounds
to be set on the trail of Joseph Jor
dan, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
P. J. Jordan, of 1523 North Main
avenue, who disappeared Thursday
afternoon, and the offering of a re
ward of ?500 by the worn-out father
for the return of his son, dead or
alive, are the developments since
Saturday in this strange case. An
effort is being made to secure blood
hounds at tho Auburn state prison
in New York.
County Detective M. A. Rafter has
taken up the case and secured from
Captain Robinson the services of
several of the state police, who will
work with Mr. Rafter in trying to
locate the missing youth. This end
of the state will be thoroughly
searched. In following the trail of
the boy the bloodhounds ought to
prove of great value.
There has been no trace of the
boy since he left home Thursday
afternoon nt 1 o'clock to collect bo
tanical specimens except a few hours
after, when he was seen going along
a road leading to the West Mountain,
where he told his mother ho was
going.
As to the theory that the boy
might be held by some one, Mr.
Jordan said he is not a wealthy man
and there would be no temptation
In his case for such a move.
Prof. M. II. Jordan, a vice-principal
at the Central High school, an
uncle of the missing youth, left on
an early morning Lackawanna train
to-day for Greene, N. Y expecting
to secure hounds at a kennel owned
by a man named Finnegan who has
a national reputation for handling
bloodhounds. About 10 o'clock
.Monday morning Mr. Jordan re
ceived the disappointing telephone
message from his brother that Fin
negan had moved away. He then
went on to Auburn to confer with
the state prison officials about se
curing hounds If they have any.
The disappearance of the boy is
as big a mystery as the day of his
leaving home and his anguished
parents and relatives are just cling
ing to the hope of news of his neing
found.
Not a Had View.
The Scranton Tribune, in a re
cent editorial, said:
Tho law hangs a man not for the
purpose of vengeance, but to remove
from a human scene a man who has
used his liberty to destroy the life
of another. It assumes that a man
who will take life once will do so
again. The law also has anoiuer
object in view, viz., to serve an Im
pressive warning to nil other evil
doers that they must stop short of
crimes against life. The growing
objection to punshment by death
Is not due to sympathy for the
murderer, but rather to an Increas
ing regard for the sacredness of hu
man life. It Is deemed proper that
the law should set the example of
a higher respect for tho life of a
human bolng by itself refraining
from taking the life of any man.
As for committing the act of death
as a judgment on crime, there is no
reason why the law should shrink
from that except for tho one reason
that the law of retribution is re
served to a more competent tribun
al. In tho case of tho hanging of
a man retrlbutory justice is given
an impressive and spectacular em
phasis, and the sudden death of a
man at tho end of a ropo is more
obvious and we might also say more
bungling than the mothous of
retribution as they exhibit them-,
selves In the slow processes of na
ture. Taka the Citizen. Why- not.

Cainp Ripley Established at Big Pond
Twenty-flvo in Party.
Rev. Mr. Ripley went into camp
with his party of boys at Paupack
Landing, Big Pond, last Monday
morning. The party, with the cooks,
comprises twenty-five this year, as
against seventeen last year. It looks
as though the enterprise was going
to be a permanent thing, at least as
long as the present dominie is at
the head of the Methodists here.
The old Landing never presented so
fine an appearance as now. The
boys have put two full days of work
upon the grounds, removing the
great rocks and loose stones and
leveling up depressions until it is
almost as smooth as a floor. The
sleeping tents are arranged in the
form of a hollow square, the north
side opening to tho lake, and in the
center a sort of reception canopy
affords shelter from sun and rain,
and commands a line view of the
water. Back a short distance up
the road which runs parallel with
tho stream (lowing from the spring
about half a mile above the camp,
are the kitchen and mess tents. A
few of the boys went up last Fri
day and built a large stone arch,
laid In cement. Upon this the
cooking is done. A line table under
tho mess canopy accommodates the
whole party at one sitting. Two
boys rotate daily in waiting on table
and helping the luetics at any neces
sary work in preparation of the
meals. There are eight tents, all
told, 011 the ground. The cam) lires
are the interesting features of the
evening, vicing successfully with
those of the Y. M. C. A. camp only
about a quarter of a mile away, and
sending their bright light clear
across to the cottages on the north
side. A baseball nine of these boys
wound up a Y. M. C. A. picked club
Wednesday afternoon to the tune
of 2 to 1.
Every thing is going beautifully,
and the boys are having the time
of their lives. Camp will break
next Wednesday morning. Visitors
are always welcome, and especially
those who have provisions to con
tribute. Should any friend with a
soft heart toward this boy enter
prise desire to help out on tho pro
vision question, let him leave bread
or canned goods, or any other good
thing to eat, at the store of Welsh
& Ames, and the same will reach
proper destination, Hawley Times.
