Thomas Carroll, of Carbondale, who
was found unconscious on the side
walk at the corner of Main and Lacka-
wanna streets in Olyphant last We'd
nesday night, died at 4 o'clock yester-
day morning. Coroner Longstreet held
post mortem examination in the af-
ternoon and found fracture about
four inches long at the base of the
brain. blood clots underneath the COW
erhlg of the brain, and the skull and
scalp had the appearances of being
battered. The left eye was blackened
and there was bruise on the shin
bone of the right leg.
The pest mortem tends to establish
beyond doubt that Carroll was the vic
tim of foul play. There could hardly
be any possibility that the injuries
were received by falling from hotel
porch. The jury empaneled by Coroner
Longstreet comprises DR.. Leonard kel-
ley, of Olyphant; A. b. COnger, Nj.
w. Cummings, esq, Henry Deary. "A.
]. Winebrake. and James Linen. Ad-
journment was taken until next Tues
day evening at Mahon's hall, Olyphant.
What has not yet come to light Is
the identity Of the person or persons
who assaulted Carroll. AT l o'clock
last Wednesday morning five young
men, Arthur Widdefcld, JQS.sh Hy-
land, Thomas McHale, Joseph Best,
and Thomas Fadden, We're on their way
home and they saw Carroll lying on
the sidewalk at the place above men,
toned.
WAS FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.
They thought he was in n drunken
sleep, but on trying to arouse him
found blood issuing from one of his
ears. They carried him into a near by
drug store and sent for DIR. Leonard
Kelley. The next morning the injured
man was removed to Mahon's hotel.
He was unconscious from the time he
was found until twenty-four hours af-
terward, when his senses returned, but
he made no ante mortem statement.
Everything was blank to him and he
could not give any information which
might serve to throw any light on
the case and identify his assailants.
He was % years old and a brother
of L. A. Carorll, the well known Car
bondale merchant. The day before his
injuries he left home to go to Camden.
N. j., to work in store, but stopped
off at Olyphant to meet some friends.
He was around that evening and the
next morning was found as described.
INQUEST TUESDAY NIGHT.
Mayor James j. ONeill, of Carbon
dale, was present at the post mortem
examination as attorney for the fam
lily of the deceased. The time for
taking testimony was fixed for next
Tuesday night at Mahon's hall, Oily
phant, to which time the inquest was
adjourned. Undertaken Sweeney, of
Olyphant. prepared the body for burial
and it was taken to Carbondale after
the post mortem. The funeral will be
held tomorrow morning.

BICYCLE CLUBS PLUCK
New Addition Started to the Club
HOuse-..lt viii Be q Fine
Structure.

Work on the new addition of the
Scranton Bicycle club rooms was start
ed yesterday by Contractor Peter Stipp.
The work is in the rear of the present
structure and will cost nearly $1,000
When completed it will we'll illustrate
the pluck of the memebers. While the
plans mainly provide for a gymnasium,
baths, swimming pool, lockers, sleep
ing rooms and the like, they also in
clude improvements in the present
quarters.
The building is to be arranged so that
it can be rented for banquets and large
formal parties, weddings and the like
without conflicting with it's use by
members. This will be possible because
of plans which provide for the abso-
lutte separation of the front part Of the
building, where will be contained the
banquet, dancing and reception rooms,
from the other portion.
THE plans are by Architects Brown
e. Morris. The members of the build
ing committee are C. A. Godfrey, Il. NJ.
Vandling, ID. B. Atherton, Fl. G. Lucas,
Wallace Ruth, W. f. Boyle, ii. C. Wal
lace, Charles Kreg, T.. II. Davis, Il. A.
Gilmore, +. A. Hintermister and Hon.
II. A. Knapp.
For two years the memoirs had cher
ished the extension idea, but were
daunted by the expense until Frank
NJ. Vandling recently agreed to advance
$4,000 on the first lien, and $1,000 more
was issued by $40 coupon bonds based
on a second mortgage. These were sold
to the members, and Notwithstanding
the doubt, incredulity and opposition
of influential members of the club, he
succeeded in raising the $4,000 bond
subscriptions, within two weeks. All
the bonds We're taken by members of
the club, In various amounts from $40
to 800 each. Enough of revenue can
be received from rents to pay the in
terest Of the bonds first and reduce the
principals of both entirely aside from
the dues OF the association or income
derived from its members.
When finished the property will be
one of the largest and best of its kind
in the state.

REYNOLDS TO BE BOUNCED.
So Say the Powers in the Franklin
Engine COMPANY.

John II. Reynolds, the leader of the
''young element" In the Franklin En-
gine company and who Is Permanent
Man Sproats' leading adherent, is to
be expelled from the company's ranks,
or at all events an attempt at this will
be made at the next meeting.
SO said Foreman Beavers to Tribune
reporter yesterday afternoon. The
grounds for Reynolds expulsion are
that he divulged private proceedings
of a business meeting of the company,
when on the stand in last Saturdays
investigation. The constitution and by
laws of the company, which is char
tered organization, specify that any
member found guilty of such breach
of the rules can be expelled by the
president without any formal action
on the part of the members. AS the
president and committeeman all belong
to the "older element" there is not much
doubt that Reynolds will be found
guilty and summarily dismissed.
1t Is expected that a law suit will
ensue when the company makes a de-
mand for the company's property in
Reynolds possession, At not being likely
that he will give in without struggle.

County Superintendent Of Schools j.
c.. Taylor has fixed upon the week be-
ginning Monday, Octobes12, as the time
for holding the teachers institute. The
schools will open In almost every dis
trict of the county, except Scranton, on
Monay, August 81, ami this will give
the teachers and pupils a month at
school before the institute opens.
This year it will be held in Young
Mems Christian Association Hall on
account of the repairs in progress at
the court house. For several reasons
the institute will he held earlier than It
was the custom to hold them. Mr.. Tay-
lor believes that If there Is any good
derived from the institute the teachers
had better have the benefit at the
beginning of the year than to wait un-
til along in the middle of the term. The
weather is more suitable, and he
thinks that holding ii In November, the
month Of election, has tendency
to make it OF secondary interest to poll
tics which is usually the all absorbing
topic.
NO JOINT GATHERINGS.
institute is gone by. The work OF the
teachers in a graded school Is very
different from that of those in an un-
graded department, and the necessity
of separating into two institutes Is
quite apparent. Superintendent George
Howell, of the city schools, has de-
cided to hold his institute near the close
of the year.
on next Saturday, Aug. 20, the new
Groom school building at Clark's Sum-
nit will be opened for public inspec-
tion, and all friends of education are
invited by the school board to attend.
The building cost about $4,000 and Is
modern in all its appointments. In that
district the erection of such an edifice
represents a spirit of enterprise and
advancement. 1t occupies the site on
which stood the building which was
struck by lightning n year ago and
burned to the ground.
