A Summer Idyl.

Just a little brown canoe
Floating on the streami
Only room enough for two
And blissful dream,
Just little maid demure,
Sitting in the bow;
Eyes that twinkle, lips that lure
Cheeks with health aSloW,
Just a little sail we took
Like to take some more
Where their heads the willows shook
Along the faded shore.
Just little tale of love
Underneath the trees,
While the cloudlets up above
Drifted with the breeze.
just little promise won
From the maiden meek,
Kept as faithful as the sun
just little week.

John G. SAKE, not to be outdone, came
to st. Peters defence and wrote the
following as st. Peters reply:
Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my gate securely fast;
There was no little anger strayed,
Nor recreant the portals passed.
[ did not sleep, as you supposed,
Nor left the dool of Heavan ajar,
Nor has a little angel" left,
And gone down, down with falling star.
Go ask that blushing bride, and zee
If she don't frankly own and say,
That when she found that angel babe,
She found it III the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That should your number still enlarge
You will not do as done before.
And lay it to Old Peters charge.

st. Peter,

Some years ago the poet, David Ba-

wrote and published the following pref
ty poem:
One night as old ST. Peter slept,
He left the door Of Heaven a5ar,
when through, a little angel crept,
And came down with falling star.
One summer as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasant dreams
And found that angel by her side.
God rant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of pain
He'll wing his way to that bright shore
A .Id find the way to Heaven again.

NEW EVIDENCE DISCOVERED,
A Witness Found to COrrObOrate Van
HOrn's story.

Attorneys l.. p. Wedeman and Z. w.
Thayer claim TO have discovered new
evidence that will tend to strongly
cOrroborate the claim of Van Horn
that he met Mrs. Wescott by appoint
ment on the evening of the killing.
The witness is a little girl named
Gehrens, who says she saw a man GO
ing into the cellar, and running into
the house told Mrs Wescott about it.
Mrs. Wescott told the girl it is alleged,
to go about her business that she could
take care Of any man who might enter
her cellar. The girl resumed her play
on the street, but watched the cellar
way and saw Mrs. Wescott go down
from the outside with a plate of food
and return twenty minutes later with
the plate empty.
The arguments for a new trial will
be heard Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

Simon Thomas majority &.

The struggle for the common coun-
ell nomination was between two Ster-
ling, sagaCious and earnest men, Orig
inally there We're number of candi-
dates, but the contest finally narrowed
down between William Evans and
William V. Griflths. The contest be-
tween these two men, while actively
waged, was conducted in a spirit of
fairness. In Friday mornings issue of
a contemporary the eXcitable individ-
ual who complies its dOleful West Side
department made a savage attack up
on Mr.. Griffiths that was as uncalled
for as it was unjust and untruthful.
1t injected much bitterness into the
fight, but to Mr. Evans credit it may
be said that he denounced the attack
on his opponent and denied that he
was in any way responsible for it. The
attack made Mr.. Grifiths' friends work
like beavers and they rolled up a big
majority for their favorite.
Mr.. Evans was one of the first to
congratulate his successful opponent
which was in line with the spirit Of
the last meeting of the candidates,
wherein they agreed to let the caucus
decide it positively. Mr.. Grittiths' ma
iority was lS9, as will be seen by the
vote as recorded in the several dis
tricts, viz:

No end of havoc and damage was
wrought by the bursting of a 2i-inch
water man on Gibson street, near
Madison avenue, a few hours before
daylight Yesterday morning. An inn
mense and irresistible torrent of water
poured down the grade across Jeffer-
son avenue, tearing out ditch five
feet deep by two or three feet across
in it's progress; deposited many wagon
loads of large stones and dirt at the
avenue intersection; ripped out the
shoulder" of the Stag roadbed all the
way from jefferson to Adams avenue
and at the latter corner stripped the
filing from the sides of a large man
hole leading to the Economy steam
pipes and then undermined the steam
pipes and let them settle several inches
for half of the distance between Adams
and Washington avenue, at which
thOrOughfare the current had lost its
force.
From 81 500 to $1,000 damage, which
the Scranton Gas and Water company
must pay for was done its own prop
erty, the Gibson street roadbed and
cutters and the steam pipes of the
Economy company. A large force of
workmen were repairing the break dur
ing all of yesterday and well into the
hours of last night
BIG PIPE CRACKED.
The 2i-inCh pipe line leading down
the heavy grade of Gibson street is a
cumbrOus thing and conveys the great
head of water leading west and south
as far as the steel mills. one length
Of pipe a few feet west of Madison
avenue was cracked for the whole of
it's length and the great pressure from
up the line forced the aperture open
probably two inches. This must have
happened about o'clock, though it
was not discovered until after daylight.
At s o'clock Superintendent Robert
Reeves reached the scene and soon had
the water shut off and a large force Of
men digging out the broken pipe.
While the repairs We're in progress a
plentiful supply of water was fur
nishcd by back current AMI direct pres
sure through other mains.
Immediately below the break and
| down the hill on the south side of the
street the water tore out ditch into
| which a team of horses could be driven.
| The stream was of sufficient force to
! carry rocks and cObble stones as large
| as a mans head to the corner of JEFF
| ferson avenue, where they were de-
| posted with enough sand and gravel
to make fifteen or twenty wagon loads.
| From jefferson to Adams avenue the
| roadway on the south side of the street
| was carried away at the gutter edge
| along the whole Of the block.
STEAM PIPES DISTURBED.
At the Adams avenue juncture the
| foundations to tile trolley track We're
| disturbed and the tops of the steam
| manholc 'ralls laid bare. Several big
! holes " torn in the roadway at this
( point. From Adams, and for half the
distance toward Washington avenue
on the north side Of the street, the
steam pipe line of the Economy COM
pany is located.
The steam escaping to the surface
during yesterday and the settling OF
the roadway indicated that the water
had undermined the steam pipes and

half block of steam pipes will be one
of the costliest items Of expense in
