FARVIEW EXCURSION.
TWO BOY RUNAWAYS.
Left Scranton for Baltimore, but We're
Caught in wilkes. Barre.


Dear Mamma: have gone to Bal
timore; will write you when get there.
HARRY"
That was the note left by one Of two
13-year-old runaways who left the city
at daylight yesterday, but were caught
few hours later by the police at
Wilkes Barre in the Lehigh Valley de-
pot. The boys were Harry McLain.
son Of William McLain. a commission
broker. who lives at 307 Washington
avenue. and Arthur Walter, son Of Mi
chael Walter. q machinist, whose home
Is at OF Olive street.
II was about $3.50 o'clock that Mrs.
McLain found the note on the dining
room table. She awakened her hus-
band, who soon ascertained that the
Walter lad, too. was missing. The
Hudson station and there learned that
two boys answering the description of
the runaways had left on the $3.50 train
for Wilkes Barre. A telegram to the
Wilkes Barre police brought about the
capture.
The McLainS came here from Balti-
more recently. Harry didn't like
Scranton and that's why he wanted to
leave. He had savings bank contain
ing about $50, and 1t was with this
capital that the boys began their jour-
ney. The Walter boy had told his par
ents the night preceding his departure
that he was going to sell papers In the
morning.

saw the passenger train kill DR.. Il. II.

ket street crossing Of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad on Monday evening,
August "a. About a dozen were sworn
and they all agreed that the doctor was
warned by several that the train was
approaching. The jury rendered the
following verdict:
We. the undersigned Jurors. find that
DIR. L. II. Cooke came TO his death by
being struck by q Delaware and Hud-
son locomotive on the eve Of Aug. "a,
1896. We think that all passenger
trains run too fast at this crossing and
would recommend that a watchman be
stationed at this crossing until all pas

things more hurtful than common
tea. An eminent English doctor
once said: IF the public gave up
drinking common tea, the occupa-

would be gone" Good tea, how
ever, is refreshing and stimulat-

Gle to the public, the officers of the
Salvation Army have taken great
pains to secure a tea, which can
with the greatest confidence be re.
commended as being of the very
highest standard of excellence,

price within the reach of every
body, and although it will leave
us very small margin of profit

IN UNDERGROUND PARIS

Scientists 10 Study the Eject of Dark.
ness on Animal Lie.
Deep in the bowels of the earth
a curious laboratory is about to
be established in the Jardin des
Plantes. Under the gardens run
some old galleries of the cata-
combs, which have not been open
ed in hundred years. The la
boratory which will be establish
ed in these galleries will give an
opportunity to study the effect of
obscurity upon animal life. Every
one has heard of the fish without
eyes in the cave of Kentucky and
other freaks which exist in dark
wells and such places. These
facts are of great importance in
studying the evolution of man
and species, but so far no re-
searches upon the subject have
been carried out by scientists.
Down in the deep galleries of
the catacombs it is always pitch
dark and fish ponds will be dug
in the solid rock and stocked with
fish to study the effect of obscu-
rity upon them and their off.
spring. Animals will also be kept
down there for the same purpose.
A good deal of trouble and
some danger were experienced in
opening up the galleries, which
have for SO long been closed. The
temperature 200 feet below the
surface is chill and damp, while
the gases which have accumulated
in 100 years made it ticklish
undertaking to descend. These
galleries undermine almost the
whole of Paris and its environs,
being used as catacombs and also
for growing mushrooms. Under
the Jardin DIES Plantes they have
never been used since the stone.
workers left them in 1879. They
are very narrow, and one has to
stoop in going through them. In
some places the roof has fallen in,
but most of the galleries are dug
out of the solid rock and will last
for all time. The laboratory will
be the only one of its kind in the
world, and the savants who have
undertaken the task expect that
the results of their experiments
will throw new light upon the
doctrine of evolution.-New York
