but the breeze was only slight. The
small shower at night helped matters
somewhat. Nay Aug park was
crowded 1t was the only place
that afforded retreat from the wealth
er. The street car company rose
up to the occasion and kept plenty of
cars in progress. A five-miAdte sche-
dule was in effect, and every car was
loaded with passengers.
The Sunday trains on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad were well patron
ized, especially those northward bound.
Crowds went from here to Carbondale,
and from thence to Crystal lake. The
livery stables were well patronized,
and all roads leading towards cool re-
sorts such as Mountain Lake. Elm

almost as oppressive, but it fell two or

A strike Is on at Storrs No. shaft
of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western company, by the withdrawal
of twenty-one drivers employed in the
14-foot vein. The cause is a grievance
arising over wages. Preliminary steps
were taken by the drivers Friday when
six of them quit work. Their action
instilled the spirit of striking in the
other drivers who went out Saturday.
Heretofore the drivers have received
for a full days work s1.25, but recently
they were informed that the price
would be cut down to sl.05 and 81, TO-

them for their labor. In addition to the

The strike threatens to spread to No.

ers are employed. 1t may possibly eff

The drivers strike on Saturday did
not suspend operations in the mines
as the mems places were filed by COM
pary hands and other operatives.
A general strike is announced to be-
gin tomorrow. as those now out have
much sympathy from their fellow
drivers in the adjoining shaft. They
predict a general tie-up unless their
grievances are settled.

OBSERVANCE OF JULY FOURTH.
There win BE No General Celebra. .
tion in Scranton TODAY

There will be no general celebration
in Scranton today, but the city will
he by no means dull for there are in
Vulnerable small events that will pro-
vide pleasure and excitement for those
who desire to participate in them,
Saturday night there was a very lib
eral display of fireworks about the
city and last night the bombardment
of the heavens was continued, though
to a lesser extent. Tonight. If the
weather proves favorable, there will
probably be the greatest private dis
plays Of fireworks in the history of the
city.
The war excitement has given the
Fourth of July a new meaning to
thousands and it will be observed with
something more nearly approaching the
true spirit of the day than it has been
in years.
In many of the churches Of the city
yesterday the services were of a
strongly patriotic character. Fre-
quent and eloquent references were
made to the heroic conduct of the
thousands of brave American soldiers
who are dying for their flag before
Santiago and prayers for them were
offered up.

attending Mr.. Hickey that no one was
TO be allowed to see him.
Or. HaGgerty remained at his pa
TENTS bedside all morning. At noon
he was much relieved, though it was
fe1red that Mr.. Hickey would succumb
to the intense heat during the morn
ing.
About noon a large electric fan,
throwing a current of refreshing air
was placed in the room, and the re-
mainder of the day was passed in
comparative ease. A Tribune reporter
was received last evening by Chief
Hickey. He told the reporter he was
doing nicely, and would be about agRin
shortly He is unable to move his left
leg and his left arm is badly discol-
ored and bruised. The bandages were
removed last evening from his head.

MANY 90 TO SEE "NANA."
Thursday Afternoon from 2 to 6
O'Clock Set Apart for Ladies.

Mana" the beautiful painting on
exhibition at the Mears building, has
been viewed by a great many people
since its arrival in this city. 1t is
pronounced the finest specimen of fig
ure painting that has been produced
in modern times, and in delicacy of
treatment, manipulation of color and
artistic quality it has no equal.
The face and head are perhaps the
chief parts, and as one sees the lips
parted, the bright blue eyes spark
ling and the whole face wreathed in
smiles, one expects monentarily to hear
a silvery laugh echoing therefrom. But
still after contemplating the other
parts of the picture, one insensibly
turns ones gaze back to the face, it is
hard to believe that Mana" is only a
picture, it's realism and fidelity of
treatment are so wonderful. 1t is a
picture that, once seen, can never be
forgotten.
At the request of a large number of
influential patrons to have a distinct
time set apart for ladies to view
Mana the mana cement begs to an
nounce a special matinee on Thursdrv
next, between the hours of 2 and D.
m. for that purpose.

SCRANTON ENTERPRISE.
New Engineering and Construction
Company Organized with A. Ii.
Dunping at Its Head-.Plan Of
nnorot{an

A new Scranton enterprise which
promises to meet with peculiar sue
cess has been launched under the title
of the Dunnng Engineering and Con-
struction company. 1t is a stock cor
poration in which many well known
Scranton men are interested. A. r.
Dunning, the we'll known civil engineer
and surveyor, Is manager of the COM
pany. He has surrounded himself
with a. corps of competent enginNrs
second to none in the country.
The purpose of the company is to
conduct a general engineering busi-
ness in all it's branches throughout the
country and TO promote and construct
any private enterprise. Mr. Dunning
has placed on the staff of the COM
pany the most competent engineers in
the country to be known as consult
ing engineers" In this number is Col
onel George Waring, until recently su-
perintendent of public works in New
York city, and an engineer of marked
ability and author of several works.
He will have several corps of engineers
fully equipped and is prepared to start
out on any work at any point in the
country within a few hours from the
time of notification.
Tha offices of the company are on the
eighth floor of the Mears building.
Three rooms are occupied for the pres
ent. New instruments and other equip
page is coming in daily and this week
Mr. Dunning expects to have a COM
plete outfit for several corps of engi-
neers. A long distance telephone is
being placed in the rooms which will
be open from s a. m. until 6 p. m,
every day except Sunday. Mr.. Dun
ning's ability as an engineer is too
well known in Scranton for superfiu-
Gus comment, but to those who do not
know him it may be said that he is an
engineer classed among the best in the
United States.
Among other things the new company
will give special attention to measur-
ing Goa. lands for the benefit of lot
owners and will also furnish the best
form of expert testimony on any branch
of engineering in a court case. The
company is now ready for business
with the scope of its operations unlim-
tied,

THIS AND THAT.

There is one thing the police depart
ment should do right away-break up the
remnant of the gang of highwaymen who
for several years have made the western
end of Luzerne street a region TO be
dreaded after nightfall. Several MEM
bers of the gang are now in the peniten-
tiary and others would be there if the
criminal court jurors who passed upon
their cases did their duty. Numerous
complaints still come from that region
showing that the backbone of the gang
has not yet been broken. The police au-
thorities say that officers enough cannot
be spared to properly protect the infested
territory. That is not the proper way
to view the situation. Wherever crime is
rampant there is the greatest need for
officers and there they should be sta
toned until the law breakers are driven
behind prison bars or cOe, ced into CIV
Ing up their evil ways, Nothing so surely
deters the criminal as the certainty that
he will be punished for his transgressions.
So long as the LuZerne street gang is

chance of escaping detection and punish
ment Just 50 loTg will its members con-
tinue to hold-up and rob people. The
minute they realize that the odds of the
game are very much against them they
will stop.

Bellevue. He is 10 years old, and
made of stuff that wins battles.
Himself and some companions were
shooting fire crackers yesterday morn
ing on the street near his home, and
the little finger of his right hand was
blown off with charge from a 15-
cent cannon, that he didn't know was
loaded. He picked the cannon up to
see how it worked and obtained the
information in painful shape.
He was taken to the Lackawanna
hospital. During the operation of
dressing the wound he exhibited great
courage, and was more put out be-
cause he cannot be with his compan-
ions to have a good time today than
because he will go minus finger the
rest of his life.

FIREMEN WILL BE PROMPT.
Fires That May Break Out Today
A re to BE Carefully Looked After.

Acting Chief McManus of the fire de-
partment said yesterday he had issued
no special orders to the various CON-
paui2s Tor Fourth of July duty. He
hoped fer a more liberal downfall of
rain than occurred last night to render
the roofs of buildings less combustible
and less liable to ignition from fire
crackers and sky rockets. Every COM
pany will be in readiness to respond to
alarms as quickly and effectively as it
Is in their power to do so.
The supply of fireworks and pyrctech-
MICS is considerably smaller this Fourth
than in any of recent years, and Chief
McManus does not look for the neces-
sity of extra precaution.
An alarm comes without fail every
Fourth from box 35 at the corner of
Main avenue and Jackson street.

SUNDAY TRAINS ARE POPULAR.
Those Run on the Delaware and
Hudson Were Crowded.

The popularity of Sunday trains on
the Delaware and Hudson railroad
was attested in the large number Of
passengers that availed themselves of
the opportunity to travel yesterday
between Wilkes-Barre and Carbondale.
The six trains each way were crowded.
Not as many cars were used on each
train as on weekdays, and on some of
them the passengers had to stand up,
being unable to find seats. One coach
and a combination baggage car and
smoker made up each train.
The Ontario and Western railroad
began running Sunday trains a week
ago yesterday, and it's trains yesterday
were likewise crowded.

John Judge, the 17-year-old brother
of Jim Judge. the boxer, fell from
swing Saturday in Nay Aug park and
met with a painful injury to his face.
He was twelve feet from terra firma
when he lost his grip and tumbled from

He struck on his hands and knees
and with such force that his face
bobbed against the ground and his
nose was cut along the ridge. He was
taken to the Lackawanna hospital, and
three stitches were necessary &c bind
