FRANKLIN COMPANY'S TRIP.
Scranton Fire Laddies Took Part in
Yesterdays HaIIstead Festivities.

Franklin Engine company, No. i,
went to Hallstead yesterday and par
ticipated in the Firemen's Day festivi-
ties in that hospitable little town. The
company, together with the invited
guests, numbered nearly forty, and
they made the outward trip in a spe-
cial car attached to the 9 o'clock Dela-
ware, Lackawanna and Western train.
Lawrence's band discoursed delightful
music and several selections were rem
dered by the company's quartette.
At Hallstead they were met at the
depot by the Hallstead Hose company
and the Hallstead band. Forming in
lire the companies marched to the
music furnished by the united bands.
The visitors were taken to the
Mitchell House and there were received,
welcomed, and given the town in a
neat speech by S. Percy Chase, editor
of the Hallstead Herald, on behalf of
the Hallstead Hose company.
Hon. John H. Fellows responded in
happy vein, and accepted the recep-
ton in behalf of Franklin Engine COM
pany. The visitors then had dinner and
after a short intermission the parade
was started. 1t was probably the finest
and the Franklins received ovation
after ovation all along the gaily decor
ated route.
The parade was reviewed and dis
banded at the Mitchell House, after a
| fitting speech made by William Pike
private secretary of Galusha A. Grow
| in behalf of the citizens of Hallstead.
The remainder of the afternoon and
the evening was then spent in the usua
| iollification. A big dance platform
| had been erected and dance music fur.
rished In the evening the FranklnS
were entertained at Mr.. Compton's
Speeches, good cheer and music filled
in the time. The "boys" thoroughly
did the town and are one and all en-
thusiastic in their appreciation of the
welcome and entertainment afforded
them by the Hallstaed people.
The return trip was made in gooc
time, the train leaving Hallstead a

TORMENTOR DID 1T.
Drove Aged David r. Williams Out Of
His Mind and Attempted Suicide
Is a Result.

David r. Williams, Of South hyde
Park avenue. an old soldier and we'll
known resident of the West Side, at
tempted suicide by slashing his throat
with a bread knife yesterday morning.
He made an ugly cash but no vital
point was reached, and at the West
Side hospital, where he was taken for
treatment, it was said last night that
despite his advanced age 62 years, he
would likely recover.
The deed was the result of insanity.
During the war, while stationed in a
barracks in Philadelphia, Williams
was knocked over a gallery railing by
two men engaged in a friendly wrest-
ling match, which he was watching,
and in his fall landed on a stack of
bayoneted guns. One bayonet entered
just below his right eye and pierced
his head, it is supposed to the skull
The other entered beneath the chin
and took an upward course as far as
the roof of the mouth. He was given
up for dead but managed to pull
through. When he came out of the
hospital, however, one side was par
TALLY paralyzed and his mind was not
as strong as 1t had been, although he
was by no means an inbecile. He went
to Schuylkill county where his father
was a boss and became a special Of
ficer. During the Molly Mcguire trou-
bles his father was shot while wash
ing in the house after coming home
from work. The son, although a Grip
pie, rushed out into the darkness and,
espying two fleeing forms, gave chase.
He followed them into the mountains
and never rested until he overlook and
killed one of them and wounded the
other. He served with the coal and
iron police for a number of years, and
then came to Scranton, where he
worked at various light Jobs until he
finally became engineer at the Hamp-
ton fan house.
He worked there until a few weeks
ago when his actions indicated that his
mind was commencing to grow weak
and he was placed under a doctor 8
care. He grew worse and worse, until
finally during the last five or six days
he had to be constantly watched.
on Wednesday night his watchers
say, he paced the hallway during the
greater part of the night. In the morn
ing he seemed to be quite calm and
read the morning papers with evident
interest. All of q sudden he jumped
up and pointing to a photograph about
q woman who had committed suicide
said: That's one way of ending
trouble" After breakfast he said he
wanted to go for g walk and as this
was a usual thing for him to DO everey
day, nothing was thought Of IT. One
of the men followed him at a respect
able distance, but either became negli.
gent or mcmentarily lost sight of him
At all events, Williams some time latel
was found in Morse Bros barn witt
his throat gashed and a cut in his rlgh
wrist. Driver Andrew Coyne, wht
found him groaning in one of thu
ctalls. gave an alarm and secured as
sistance in removing him across the

Carroll and Williams examined him
and found that neither the jugular vein
or wind pipe had been severed, and
that the wound was not necessarily
fatal. At midnight he was still alive

Williams complained a great deal
Of late of a man who worked with him
at the Hampton mine, and who con-
tinually tormented him about his PEN
sion, saving that his wound was a
self-inflicted one and that he was
cheating the government. He had the
man arrested three weeks ago and ar
raigned before Alderman Howe. The
case was settled on the tormentor
agreeing to refrain further from his
mean remarks. These insinuations
preyed on Williams mind, and he often
spoke of them. 1t is thought that this
as much as anything else caused the
arrangement of his weak mind.
