AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Isaac Fuller Resigns His Position in Gov
ernment Printing Office.


Issac Fuller, a gentleman we'll known
in this city, has retired from the gov
ernment printing Office at Washington,
where he was employed for over
twenty-five years in one Of the most
exacting positions Of that important de-
partment of the government. Prior to
accepting government position Mr..
Fuller was for years one OF the best
known of the editors of inland papers
in New York state, and was a promi-
nent figure In the Republican national
conventions preceding the war. About
year ago Mr.. Fuller paid visit to
friends in this city. and was the guest
of his nephew, r. P. Kingsbury. The
Courier, of Seneca Falls, N. Y, in re-
cent issue, contained the following con-
cerning Mr.. Fuller:
Isaac Fuller, the founder of the
Seneca County Courier, has returned
to Seneca Falls to live. He voluntarily
resigned his position in the public print
ing office at Washington after a service
there Of twenty-five years and three
months. His reasons were that Mrs.
Fuller desired to spend the remainder
of her life In Seneca Falls, the scene Of
their activities. Public Printer Bene-
dict, in accepting the resignation, ex-
pressed the highest appreciation of Mr..
Fullers services, and there Is no doubt
that he could have remrined ps long as
he chose Mr.. and Mrs Fuller come

the Evening Lecture Course.
The institutes of county and city
teachers will be held simultaneously in
this city from today until Friday in
elusive. The sessions of the county
teachers will be held in the court house,
and those of the city teachers in the
Young Mems Christian Association hall

first year that city and county teachers
have met separately, but the innovation
will be beneficial for several reasons.
The sessions will not be overcrowded
as in the past and valuable time will be
saved from the fact that neither body
of teachers will be idle while the other
is receiving instruction peculiar to its
needs. The Monday and Wednesday
evening lectures of Professor John B.
DeMotte and Henry Watterson at the
rockingham are for the benefit of
both institutes.
From 10 until 12 o'clock this morning
the county teachers will enroll at the
office of the county superintendent In
the court house. School directors will
be given tickets for the evening lectures
and upon application at the Frothing-
ham may have seats reserved. Teach
ers' tickets will not admit to lectures,
but must be exchanged at the box office
for admission or reserved seat tickets.

who gathered among the mounds and
the bits of marble that mark the rest
ing places of the sturdy yeomen of that
region was Mrs. Clark.

resting place Mrs. Clark became faint
and would have fallen had not a by
stander supported her.

minutes her lifeless body lay on a little
mound only short distance from the
new made grave, and there was addi.
| tional cause for sorrow among the good
people of Clark's Green.
| Mrs. Clarks death was due to heart
trouble: She was 60 years of age and
had been affected with heart trouble
Tor some time. A husband and one
daughter survive her. The funeral will

MET DEATH In A TRENCH.
Joseph Noonan Caught and smothered by
Sand in a Sewer Excavation in Which
He Was Working.

Sand in Sewer Excavation in Which
lie Was Working.
Joseph Noonan, of Third street, Belle
vue, a laborer for Contractors Fergu-
son & Rooney, was smothered to death
in a sewer trench on Mineral street
shortly before noon Saturday morning
He was 25 years of age and leaves a
widow with two children.
Whe death overlook him so suddenly
he was working in the trench sixteen
feet below the surface. The earth
through which the excavation was be-
ing made is of sandy composition and
the walls of the trench had to be board
ed with planks to prevent the sides
from falling in. The sewer trench runs
alonside the main of the Scranton Gas
and Water company, and two of the
employees were testing the hydrants on
Mineral street when the fatality took
place. They had just shut one of the
hydrants and it is alleged that the
strain on the main pipe after the hyd-
rant had been shut was responsible for
the bursting of the pipe. Contractor
Ferguson is quoted as saying that the
forcing back of the water caused the
pipe to break at one of the joints. The
break in the pipe was but few yards
from where Noonan and fellow work.
man named McGurn stood.
Both men saw the danger and darted
to escape to a point of safety. McGurn
ran toward Carbon street and got out
of danger, but Noonan, unfortunately,
took the other direction and was
caught by the falling earth and planks
that the rushing water was washing
into the trench. He had not gone ten
feet before the quicksand engulfed him
and the breath of life was smothered
out of him.
The water company employees shut
| off the water at one of the stop valves
| above the broken pipe and the task Of
| recovering the body was undertaken.
| Three hours were required to reach the
body and it was feared that darkness
| would set in before the work would be
completed.
There is difference of opinion as to
the liability of the accident Some de.
clare that the sides of the excavation
We're not properly protected and that
| the caving bank fell in on the water
pipe and burst it. And then it is as
serted that the pipe burst and washed
in the sides of the trench.
The body was removed to Cusicks
undertaking establishment and pre-.
pared for removal to its late home
| Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been completed.
Coroner Kelly arrived and empan.

From the Scranton Truth, Oct. q.
A reporter for the Truth saw Major
Everett Warren this morning and called
his attention to the statement reprinted
in the Times today and first published
on Oct %, the morning following the
Hastings meeting at the Armory Mr..
Warren said "This statement is on a
par with the falsehood published in that
paper about our candidate for sheriff,
Mr.Clemons. Ofcourse, / did not say what
Is attributed to me then. The fact is l
spoke of every one of our candidates,
before / introduced General Hastings,
except Judge Archibald, whose name
omitted to mention.
Before introducing General Latta,
who followed General Hastings,
stated that was a lawyer, and earned
my living in the courts. All wanted
personally from the bench was the
rights accorded me by the law, but the
people Of the county had a duty to per-
form, and l thought it would be the
pleasantest duty they could have to
discharge, viz: to re-elect the man who
had served so efficiently and faithfully
for ten years, our present President
judge, Hon, r. w. Archibald. This was
substantially what I said, and l GER
tainly never said what the Times pub
fishes, and no lawyer could truthfully
make any such statements"

sourceof dread to women who are COM
PEELED to make the lonely journey from
the street car tracks near the Moses Tay-

The unexpected appearance of Patrol
man Coleman Friday night resulted in
the capture of a man who could not be
identified by two women who had been
insulted.
The officer was watching for lumber
thieves near some new building north
of Ash street and toward Laurel Hill
park when he heard loud screams of
frightened women. When he arrived
at Ash street he found two well known
and highly respected Petersburg wo-
men trembling and hysterical with
fright.
While walking up the hill they had
been suddenly confronted by a man
who acted indecently in the pathway
ahead of them and made a contempt
BILE proposal. He ran down the hill
when the women screamed.
Patrolman Coleman made a tour of
the fields and made a prisoner of a
man who resembled the description
given by the women. Later in the even
ing they could not positively identify
him and he was released.

From the first kick Colgate secured
the ball and had it for nearly fifteen
minutes in BucknelPs territory, when
it was gradually worked to near the
Colgate goal line, where Bucknell made
touchdown and Wolfe kicked the
first goal: time, twenty minutes.
Soon after the kick from center by
Colgate the accident to Kaufman oc-
Cured in Bucknell territory and a wait
of twenty minutes was necessary. The
ball was never out of Bucknell territory
and after a touchdown by the left
tackle Hodge, Colgate's center, failed
to kick a goal; score, to 4.
After Bucknell's kick off, the ball was
kept in Colgate's field until Wolfe made
goal; score, IL to 4.
In the second half the ball was forced
back upon Bucknell after the kick and
Colgate secured touchdown; II to 8.
The score did not change afterward,
and when time was called the ball was
in the center of the field, after having
been most of the time in Bucknells
territory.
Kaufman is resting as comfortably
as can be expected at the Lackawanna
hospital: The bones of the lower left
leg are fractured in several places and
before the injury was dressed one of
the broken bones protruded through
the flesh.
1t was a distressing accident, the
swapping of the bones being heard in
several parts of the field. The hospital
surgeons hope that Kaufman may be
removed in three weeks.
