Of Trees in the City.

It Is Giving Much Annoyance 10 Owners
Of Trees in the City.
For several weeks past owners Of
trees in and about the city have had
serious trouble with a peculiar insect
that Is injuring the trees. Various
methods of banishing them have been
tried
The insect Is called an ichneumon fly
and in appearance is much like an I'M
mense wasp, yellow and brown in color.
The parts that make the insect of in
terest are three long thread-like organs
uhat spring from the end Of the abdo-
men. Although the body Of the insect
is less than two inches long these lat
ter organs are Ave or more inches in
length. They are called ovipositors
and are used by the insect In laying its
eggs,
Nearly all Of the ichpeumon flies lay
their eggs In the living bodies of other
insects. The larva in which this one
lays It's eggs lives in the decaying wood
of maple and other trees and the insect
Is therefore provided with the long owl
positors in order to be able to reach
them.
In practice 1t alights on the tree ap-
pArently head-frst and thep placing
the tip OF the ovipositor in suitable
position begins a peculiar motion that
soon sinks 1t far into the wood or until
a grub Is encountered when one or
more eggs are deposited. So firmly Is
the ovipositor sometimes buried in the
wood, that the poor insect cannot with
draw It and is obliged to go away with

ONLY THIRTY ARRESTS.

There were only about thirty arrests

serves. disturbing pedestrians and the
like.
The single exception was the arrest
of William Curtis. a local fakjr, who
was gathered In by County Detective
Leyshon for running a sweat-board at
laurel Hill park. He was held under
$500 bail to answer at court, Ed. Horn
becoming his surety.
Alderman Millar held two extra ses-
s!ons of court In order to permit pris-
oners to regain their liberty as soon as
they were sober enough to know how
to behave and also for the purpose Of
preventing the station house from be-
ing overcrowded. He dealt leniently
with all who came before him, believ.
ing that 1t was sufficient Of a misfor-
tune for a man to be compelled to spend
the Fourth in Jail and that further
punishment would be like throwing
water on drowned rat.

MANY Office BUILDINGS
Growing Number Of That Class Of
Structures 10 This City.
OTHERS ARE SOON TO BE ADDED
Mcars building II Being Erected snd
Plans Have Been Prepared For the
Miller and Traders National bank
Buiidings Largo structures.

Nearly two decades ago when the
walls OF the Library building on WyOm-
ing avenue were being raised 1t was
pointed to as one OF the finest build
ings In the city and when Vt was an
nounced that It would be used for office
purposes people were not lacking who
thought that 1t would be some time be-
fore any more room would be needed
for offices.
Other buildings containing suites OF
offices were erected Notwithstanding
the presumption that there would be no
one to occupy them and then in course
OF few years the massive red brick
facade OF the Coal Exchange building
appeared on Wyoming avenue Oppo-
site the white walls Of the West noun
tain stone Library building.
The Coal Exchange was In reality
the first building to demonstrate that
Scranton had left the swaddling
clothes OF a village and become city
which commanded and deserved atten-
ton and consideration. 1t IL q massive
pile and contains offices galore. more
than even the most enthusiastic be-
lever in the wisdom Of its owner, John
Jermyn, thought would find tenants
for years to come.
Great Demand For offices.
But presently the Coal Exchange
building was occupied from cellar to
roof and still the demand for suitable
came the seven story Commonwealth
building, Judge Hands contribution to
Scranton's structures of metropolitan
appearance and size. That, too, was
soon overcrowded and an addition
doubling its size had to be constructed
which Is now being raised two stories
to give more space for offices.
Since the Commonwealth was erect
ed. the Dime Bank building. the Chris
tian and schimpff buildings. the WILL
Jams building at Washington ave-
nue. and Spruce street, the Price
and Burr buildings on Washing
ton avenue and many other Office
buildings have been erected and
still there is a great demand for that
class Of accommodations and buildings
arranged conveniently for that pur-

as the most profitable for investments.
Other office buildings.
The ten story Mears building, the
skeleton Of which is reaching upwards
at Washington avenue and Spruce
street will be arranged for offices and
so will the new ten story Miller building
on the Grant property on Spruce street.
When the Traders National bank
building is erected at Wyoming avenue
and Spruce street there will be provi-
sions made for many suites Of offices on
the upper floors. With these notable
additions to Scranton's office structures
the Electric city will be we'll provided
for in that respect.
Scranton's growing number Of fine
buildings are not devoted entirely to
offices. The Hotel Jermyn, the Con-
rnll, Henwood and Matthews build
ings are among the structures Of COM
manding size and appearance which
combine what Is best in modern
architecture.

Fourth OF July. 1895. the one hundred
and nineteenth anniversary OF the
Declaration OF Independence. has
passed into history. Things will settle
again to the even tenor of their way un-
Ill Yuletide approaches.
Opinions differ "a to whether the
same interest was manifested this year
IN outbursts of celebration. as had been
the case the year before. The eve OF
the Fourth Is always noisier than the
festal day. 1t is like rapid skirmish
that precedes the battle. The Fourth
Is the day for personal pleasure, and
in Scranton the rule has grown that
excursions to out-of-town resorts bring
away three-fourths of the population.
The weather clerk did not provide a
bright day. and the moist atmosphere
dampened the ardor and enthusiasm of
the older folks but had little effect
on the irrepressihle small boy. He Is
here, there and everywhere with tor
pedo, rocket. bomb, and flrecracker. and
the Father Of Lies Is not more enter
prising in fomenting mischief than Is
the small boy alert in devising methods
to play tricks on all the rest of man.
kind.
1t was but a poor drunken topper. his
face bloated and his skin lacquered
from deep potations: he walked down
Lackawanna avenue yesterday after
noon and at the corner of Penn leaned
against a hospitable telegraph pole.
Young America saw him and in an
instant at the fellows feet laid huge
cracker. the fuse burning.
The victim intuitively stepped away
and averted a tragedy. This is
but an instance. and on all main streets
and side streets the litter of exploded
ammunition was universal. Unfortun-
ately, there was too much liquid re-
freshment Of strong proof consumed.
The street cars were densely crowded
all day and every closed and open car
owned by the Traction company were
pressed into service. Along about twi-
light the returning excursionists made
their appearance on the streets, the
festive report Of the firecrackr was
heard for a short time, even while the
rain descended in a lively manner.
There were less accidents, less fires
and less serious disturbances than on
any Fourth Of July for years.
