Mr.. 6. IT. Cohen and his son, Mr. P. D.
Cohen of London, England. are at the
Ehbitt House. They had quite a startling
experience in getting here, and are glad
it was no worse. Early yesterday morn.
ing they were passing through the AIIe-
ghenies admiring the scenery, when part
of the landscape i'll the shape Of an in-
mense boulder. toppled off crag and
fell on the track of the B. & 0. The
fact was, however, noted by a guard, and
the train was stopped short of the boulder
which was so large that it had to be
blasted to pieces to clear the track. On
the other side of the track is a deep
ravine, into which, had the train struck
the obstruction. they would have been
hurled, and there would have been put
scant time fur morning pra yers.

KLONDYKE INVESTMENT.
Scranton COMPANY Makes 1t Possible
Reach the Gold Fields.

The Klondike Investment company
of Scranton was chartered for the
purpose of engaging in mining opera
tions in the Alaska gold fields on a
large scale. This company proposes
to enable not only capitalists but per-
sons of moderate means to invest
money in the gold region and partici-
pate in the profits to the extent of the
investment without the perils and pri-
walton incident to a trip to the scene
of operation.
Many people already preparing to
send money to foreign companies Will
have the assurance that the money in
vested will be in the hands of compet-
ent business men and that none but
the most competent engineer and min
ers will be engaged in the work. The
company has already secured the SER
vices of reliable men who own claims
and worked on the Klondike for two
years and they propose as. soon as
| possible to have them return to the
| claims with every facility for prose-
cutting the work of mining.
This is the only company of the kind
| in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
citizens of Scranton are quick to see a
| good business opening and prompt to
act and keep this city in foreground
| in all quarters of the globe. The
large number of applications for stock
shows that the company will be popu-
| lar.
The company has offices at sol and S02
| Mears building. The officers of the
company are: P. S. Page, president;
Frank H. Jermyn, vice-president; NJ.
E. Mcdonald, treasurer. They are all
well-known business men and under
their guidance the company should be
very successful.

Labor Day was we'll named so far
as the politicians were concerned, for
they began their toll soon after sun
rise and had not completed 1t when
these lines were sent to press. The
different headquarters each drew Its
quota of delegates and spectators, and
during last evening the effect produc-
ed resembled that of a state conven-
tion minus the bands, the paraders and
the red fire.
The feature of the day was the un-
| availing effort of the three anti-slate
candidates, Messrs. Spencer Finn and
Okell, to form a combination on one
of the three. Negotiations to this end
were begun early in the day and con-
tinued until after midnight. The story
| Of these different meetings would form
| interesting reading, but the essential
| fact is that the efforts proved unavail-
| ing and at a late hour 1t was agreed
| that each of the three should permit
| his name to go before the convention
| with the understanding that IL a sec
| ond ballot was required, the one of the
| three who had received the highest
vote would receive as much of the
strength of the other two as could be
| transferred
PRYOR'S NOMINATION ASSURED.
But this arrangement is likely to be
| rendered futile by the fact that the
| nomination of Pryor Is assured on the
! first ballot He began the day with
a majority of the votes Of the conven-
tion pledged and every hour add
| ed to the number. At midnight it was
| given out by those having his candi-
dacy in charge that the fight was all
over except the shouting, and this was
confirmed by the private admissions of
| those who were identified with the
| rival headquarters. The remainder of
the slate is practically uncontested.
| Frank Spencer was surrounded by a
crowd of friends in his headquarters
in Liberty hall when seen by Trib-
une reporter last evening. You can

tion in detail or give any figures.

8 o'clock at the county committee head

MRS. M'NULTY WILL RECOVER,
Her Brutal Husband Committed to
the County Jail.

Timothy McNulty, who struck his
wife with a butcher knife Saturday
night at their home on Grant avenue,
West Scranton. was taken from the
city Jail yesterday morning and ar
raigned before Alderman Millar. The
charge was felonious wounding.
McNulty when formally asked if he
had anything to say pleaded guilty
with the remark: II don't know why
l did it," Alderman Millar fixed the
bail at $500 and in default McNulty
was committed to the county Jail to
await court.
DR.. ]. j. Carroll, who is in attend
ance upon the injured woman, stated
last evening that her condition yester-
day was much improved. She has re-
covered consciousness. The wound on
the womans' head where the blade of
the knife entered, is an ugly one, but
DR.. Carroll thinks that the skull is un-
injured. The woman is very weak yet.

The ambulance question seems to be
one that needs talking over in this
town. Complaint is being made about
the slow service, but there is also an
other feature to be considered. or
course the orders are strict and it ap-
pears to be imperative that the sheep
be divided from the goats, in other
words that the wrong people aren't
carted to the Moses Taylor or the
Lackawanna hospitals, but when both
or the institutions or primarily for the
!, benefit of the Door MANNED, crushed,
injured folk, 1t does seem that as much
humanity as possible should enter into
the ambulance service. OF course il
would be a terrible thing If a Lacka-
wanna person should get to the Moses

would not refuse aid. The same NAV
be said Of the resident surgeons, both
of that institution and the Lackawan-
ma hospital. But the ambulance sys-
tenn is different. The ambulance
hasn't any heart. The other day a
poor boy fell from a swing at Nay
Aug park and the life was almost
crushed out of him. Somebody sent for
an ambulance; it came after certain
length of time, but it was then dis
covered that he wasn't a candidate
for the Moses Taylor and the convey
ance was driven away by the person
in charge, 1t was three long hours
after that boy was hurt before the
proper vehicle arrived to take him to
the proper place. This may be accord :
ing to regulations but 1t is very crIel.
The same thing happened at the other
hospital not many months ago when q
prominent citizen, MANNED and in peril
of his life from loss of blood, was re-
fused carriage in the ambulance be-
cause some one had made a mistake
In the excitement of the accident and
had telephoned for the wrong institu-
tion. 1t does seem that some sort of
an agreement could be made between
the various hospitals that if such a
blunder occurs, the true intent of the
noble work done within their walls
may go on in this outside adjunct, and
that the ends of mercy may not be de-
feated while a bleeding human being
writhes in agony that might be re-
lieved.

consider that that terrible ceiling is

The passing of a house and lot on
Irving avenue last week, from the
hands of Charles Simmer to Patrol
man Reese Jones, recalls a peculiar
plan by which the house was built.
Patrolman Jones is the authority for
the story. Simmer, the former own
er, is a carpenter. Some years ago he
purchased the ground with the inten-
| tion of building thereon. But he could
| find no plans to suit his taste. He
didn't know what style o. house he
| wanted. For months Simmer search
| ed for a congenial idea but the lot
| remained houseless until one day in the
spring while Simmer was at his work
fellow carpenter came into the shop
and carelessly placed his dinner pail
| on Shimmers' bench. A few minutes
afterward Simmer was noticed eyeing
the dinner pail. He walked around It;
looked at it from all sides.
| whats the matter with your" ask
| ed the other carpenter.
| That's just how 1 want my house
to look" answered Simmer pointing
to the dinner pail. He at once started
to build the house using his memory
for a blue print. The house in due
time was finished and in truth as 1t
now stands it does resemble a dinner
pail.
