DEATH OF MRS. S. C. LOGAN
She Died at Her Home at Quincy Avenue
and Linden Street.

Mrs. 8. c. Logan, one of Scranton's
bes'. known and most beloved women,
d!sd at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at
her home, corner of Quincy avenue and
Linden street Her husband, who sur
wives her, rs yet one of the mcs,t prom
INERT clergymen in this region, although
two years ago he relinquished the pas
torate Of the First Presbyterian church.
He had been pastor of the church for
twenty-four years.
Mrs. Logan died from neuralgia of
the heart. She was IS years of age, and
up to a few moments preceding her
death retained control OF mental facul-
ties, which, during recent years, had
been wonderfully keen for ons who had
passed the allotted period of life. For
two years she had been troubled with q
digestive disorder, which prevented any
great activity outside her home. A
few months ago developed an incipient
heart trouble which two weeks ago gave
warning of approaching severity and
which yesterday morning caused her
death.
She retired early Saturday night and
!,
DR.. II. V. Logan, did all that was possi-
BILE to relieve her, although 1t was ex-
pected that she could live but short
time. Conscious that the end was near
and with perfect calmness she ex-
pressed certain wishes concerning ar
rangements after death. few mo-
merits before the end she bade good-by
to her husband and son and her sister
in-law, Mrs. ii. l.. VanNuys, who was
visiting the family; she then folded her
hands and after saying grace abound
Ing" went Into a worldly sleep, which
in less than a moment was spiritual
slumber.
Owing to the distance which sep
arates Scranton and several near rela-
tives the day of the funeral cannot be
announced. 1t will be held in the house,
and, according to one of Mrs. Logan's
last requests, will be as quiet as pos
slble. Her immediate sorrowlng family
in addition to her husband and Dr.
Fl. v. Logan. son. are Mrs. H. A.
Knapp, Of this city. who a week ago
left for a pleasure trip ITO Maine, and
Arthur c. Logan, of Logan Point, Ind.
Her three younger sisters and a brother
are as follows: Mrs. J. c. Coswell, OF
Georgia.; Mrs. II. L. Van Nuys, Of Cos
hen, Ind, Mrs. w. M. Taylor, Mount
Jackson, Pa, and Captain Ben Loring,
(retired). United States Navy, of Owe
go, N. Y.
Mrs. Logan was Lucy Williams Lo-
ring. and direct descendant of John
Alden and Priscilla Mullens, of the
Mayfiower. Her father was DR.. W. L.
Loring, who lived in Duxbury. Mass,
when Mrs. Logan was born, but who
later moved to Springfield and then to
Boston, where she and Rev. DR.. Logan
were married in 1862. She came to
Scranton from Pitsburg in 1869, one
year after her husband became pastor
OF the First Presbyterian church.

His son, George. had several small

with which party OF young people were
celebrating the advent of the new year.
Two OF the dangerous bombs exploded
satisfactorily. but the third was slow in
being set off on account of the fuse
burning SO slowly.
Mr.. Tingstrom. his COD, other mem
bsrs of the family and number Of
young persons were standing $50 feet
from the gas pipe weapons. when the
old gentleman remarked that he thought
tho third would not explode.
just then a loud report was heard,
and the party was atartled to see Mr..
Tingstrom fall backward, apparently
l!elesr. He was hurriedly carried into
the house, where an examination
showed large piece of iron sticking
from a deep wound in tho right side OF
the face, just under the eye. 1t Was re-
moved after difficulty, and the wounded
man was taken to the receiving hospital.

Competing Line.
Col. W. II. Holabird of Bakersfield,
when interviewed By THE HERALD re-
porter concerning the proposed railroad
from Los Angeles northward. eaid:
what can be said that will speak as
plainly as the great stretches OF idle
land in our valley? Kern county, OF
which Bakersfield is the county seat, is
the real center. OF very nearly 40, of
South California. We have the mos t
fertile lands on earth. With great
rivers OF water, we lack but one element
to take leading position in the state.
That element is population.
"We believe ths construction OF a
competitive railroad would give to US a
share OF the immigration that would be
aure to result from so important an
event. We can grow more grain, more
hay, more cattle. more hogs, more sheep.
more corn, more alfalfa and mora Of
anything We plant in q marvelously fer
tile soil than any other section of the
state.
I'VE pay hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars to the Southern Pacific railroad
annually. We want competition and
am confident our people will respond to
any reasonable proposition. l know

Colonel Holabird was the confidential
agent OF the capitalists who made a eur
vey from Rodgers on the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad to San Francisco some
four years ago and is probably more ia.

any other man in the state.
He does not need to be introduced to

PENSACOLA, Fla, Dec. 31.-Parties
from the bay report that the beach is
covered with large quantities OF frozen
fish. driven up by the strong north wind
of Friday and Saturday.
Experienced fruit growers do not
think that the orange trees in this
section were killed by the frost. as the
weather has been go dry that they con-
tanned but little sap. SAtsuma orange
trees do not appear to have suffered.
The weather moderated yesterday and
the first heavy rain for many weeks fell
ast night. Another cold wave is ad-
vsnoing and it is feared that it will do
much more damage.
THE MONETARY LOSS.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Dec. 3l.-The
first reports OF Florida's loss in citrus
fruits from the extraordinary cold snap
that visited this state three days ago
were not exaggerated. The best esti.
mates of the loss in oranges was
s5.000,O 900 without counting young
orange trees killed and the general des-
truction of pineapples, limes, guavas
and bananas and winter vegetables
which must make heavy apparent
lesses. The most careful computation
is that 5000. 1000 boxes were on the
trees. President Fairbanks, of the Flor
ida Fruit exchange. says practically all
is destroyed. Some south of Punta
Gorda may be shipped, but this is in-
Considerable. He regards the season as
ended.
FROST AS A SCALE DESTROYER.
No estimate has been made on loss
to other fruits and to vegetables, and
there will be no way of telling about the
new orange groves for month or six
weeks, when the trees. ii affected
by the cold. will split the bark
or show ''die back" at the
top. The snap is not without compen~
ton, however, as it has largely killed
the scale, one OF the deadliest orange
pests, and extermipated another, the
white fy, which were becoming active
in come groves, and threatened the

A BLOW In RETURN.
HOW A. P. MAGINNIS SERVED
TWO FOOTPADS.
They Hold Him Up, But Get tbo Worst
of It-Hs Coau slashcd by tho
Rvbb RS.

A. P. Maginnis, claim agent of the
Southern California railway. was held
up by two bold footpads on East First
street last night. Any one who knows
the victim will at once realize ths i'm
monsjty of the job the footpads under
took, for Mr.. Magirnis tips the scales at
over 200.
Mr.. Msgnnis said he was quietly
walking along the street thinking OF the
dewning New Year and a competing
railroad line to the San Joaquin. when.
as from out the bowels OF the earth. two
men sprang upon him.
Your money, or we'll kill you, "
muttered the taller of the two, ss he
elashed at the railroad man. The knife
missed its mark, cutting only through
the overcoat.
Like unto q Kansas twister, and in
the same inexplicable manner, the big
railroad man struck the knife wielder
just a above the collar. He landed on his
lett shoulder blade in the middle of the
street, and Kept going. The other foot
pad had by this time taken the hint
and moved off at lightning speed in an
opposite direction.
Mr.. Maginnis went to the police sta
tion and reported hia encounter. but up
to q lats hour no arrests were made.

Angeles with the outside world, and,
while heartily in sympathy with any
movement in that direction, would con-
fine his remarks briefly to the line to
Salt Lake, as his labors for the past
three years made him most conversant
with that project. Mr.. Gibbon said:
"a railroad between this city and Salt
Lake 10 subject to which | have given
o great deal of attention during the
past three years. When the Los Ange'
lea Terminal company was organized it
was with a two-fold purpose. The first
and most immediate project of it's pro-
moters was to build a local system of lines
radiating from Los Angeles and extends
ing to the future deep sea harbor OF this
city, and to acquire at that harbor
foundation for an extensive system OF
wharves and docks.
This was to be followed by the second
and ultimate project of promoting an
eastern connection for their local sys,
tenn here by line between this city
and Salt Lake.
"The first project was by the expen-
diture of some s2.OO0,00O. carried two
years ago to point where
the second part of the plan might have
been taken up. But in the meantime
the place at which the government was
to construct the deep water harbor for
this city had again become matter of
dispute.
'It was not possible to proceed with go
large an undertaking as the Salt Lske
line while the question of its having a
free and competitive ocean terminal at
deep water was in doubt.
81 feel that am entirely justified in
saying that if at any time within the
past two years the construction OF a
deep water hsrbor mad been commenced
at San Pedro, work upon Salt Lake
line would have followed it within six
months from such commsncement,a and
| am equally positive that when at any
time in the future such work
shall begin at San Pedro, less
than elk months from such be-
ginning will witness the COM
mencement of construction upon the
Salt Lake line. and l do not believe that
the line will ever be built until the con-
struction of deep water harbor at San
Pedro is a settled TACT.
''The statement of Senator Per.
kins in his interview published in
this mornings HERALD, that a
deep water harbor at San Pedro
would make this city the rbutipg
point for great commerce with the
states and territories east OF us, shows
how important. in the Judgment OF those
interested in transportation, ia the
matter OF u free harbor for deep-draught
vessels.
1T is the prospect of carr
rying some OF that commerce
which will induce the building of the
Salt Lake road. Without that pros
pect it will not be built. Once built il
will be second to no line which We now
have or may in the future obtain as a
factor in the growth of this city and the
country around it.
TT will mean for us more direct con.
nection with many large trade centers
OF the east. and cheaper freights and
cheaper fuel"
