The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-05-25

Penn Avenue Baptist church has long
been noted for its pleasant social fea-
lures and many joyful reunions. In
all it's history, however no more de-
ightful occasion has been celebrated
than that of last evening, when the
city missionary, Miss Sarah c. Krig-
baum, was rendered reception in cele-
bration of the fifteenth anniversary of
her work in this field.
Certainly no one could receive more
graceful and heartfelt tributes of af-
feCtion and honor than those showered
upon this faithful toiler That all were
eminently deserved needs no reitera-
tion. AS a parishoner said last even
ing, it is largely due TO Miss Krig-
baum that the church has been kept
so wonderfully together during the past
two or three years of uncertainty re-
gardinG a permanent pastor. Many
"reminiscences of the quiet and unher-
| aided effort which had brought rich
return to the poor and afflicted in the
| city were rehearsed in the little groups
| that gathered about the spacious par
| lors.
| Miss Krigbaum received congratula. q.
| tiOns of a line of friends, comprising,
| among others, the oldest representa-
| tives OF the church, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathaniel Hallstead At her right was
Mrs. Frutchey, while Mr.. and Mrs.
| John Highfield occupied places at her
left. Mrs. l.. NJ. Gates and Mrs. ]. w.
! Browning assisted in welcoming the
visitors. The orchestra furnished music
| during the evening. The table bore a
| massive centre piece of lilies of the val
| ley, a tribute from lifelong friend,
Miss Mary Bevan, of Clark's Green.
Mrs. A. ID. Stelle poured coffee and
Mrs. Levi j. Northup presided at the
opposite end of the table. Later Mrs.
II. J. Carr and Mrs. d. ]. Thomas
| performed these functions.
THE DECORATIONS.
The decorations in general were elab-
crate. Bunting was stretched from
| either corner of the room and flowers
We're seen in profusion. The affair was
| in charge of the Ladies' society and
the Willing Workers, assisted by the
| teachers in the Industrial school and
primary department of the Sunday
school. A very large number Of guests
| We're present.
Two surprises awaited Miss Krg-
| baum. one was the presentation of a
| roll of bills from the congregation of
the church. The token will be used by
Miss Krigbaum to defray the expenses
Of a vacation and rest which she has
justly earned. This was done most
happily by the acting pastor,
Rev. +. Y. Pierce. The second
was the pleasing recitation. by
Little Florence Browning, of a
poem from the pen of Scranton S
gifted writer, Mr. \. l.. Collins. She
presented to the guest of honor a clus.
ter of fifteen beautiful roses, the gift
of Miss Krigbaum's classes. The fol
lowing was the little poem
Roses are loves sweetest tokens,
| And so we bring roses today
| Just stop for one moment to listen
! And hear what the roses say:
| The roses. they bid me tell you,
Your life is SO sweet. pure and true.
That the farest and sweetest of roses
Are only sweet emblems Of you.

Heavy local showers, accompanied
by terrific flashes of Lightning, spread
over the city and lower part OF the
county from 11.30 yesterday morning
for an hour. The sewers in the city
were fully taxed in carrying away the
water What prevented an overflow
was the fact that the downpour was
not continuous.
AS in the case last Thursday night
the Scranton Railway company was
hampered the greatest. Cars were not
able to make schedule time on any or
the roads south of the city for an hour
after the storm. The rain washed so
much mud on the tracks that some OIL
the cars were derailed.
At Avoca u bolt of lightning struck
the tower of No. school and passed
along the upper corner where IL fell
with full force on the slate roof. The
building at once caught fire. 1t being
noon hour and no one in the building
the neighbors were obliged to effect an
entrance by breaking through the VIM
dows.
Hundreds of little birds that made
their home in the tower were killed
by the bolt which, however. was be-
lieved to be of a patriotic nature since
| a large flag suspended from the pole
was left uninjured.
on the Pittston line a car was struck
| by lightning near Greenwood hill and
| had to be towed to the city by the
| wreck car. Motorman Higgins was
| slightly shocked by the bolt. Some of
the passengers also felt it.
A hole so feet long by ten deep and
| twelve wide was torn in the roadway
| at the corner of Prospect avenue and
| Locust street. Fortunately for resi-
| dents of that locality the drain emp
ties near that point and the water took
course down the ungraded portion
| of Locust street and into the natural
| stream.
Deep washoutS occurred on Pittston
and Cedar avenues between Breck
| street and the city line impeding street
| car and wagon traffic for some time
| Along Cedar avenue at the point men,
| toned large gulleys were made. on
| that thoroughfare Councilmen Coyne
| and Cusick on the Twentieth ward
have recently had gangs of men re-
| pairing the streets, and the locality
was in good shape but the work done
was in vain. The torrents of water
| that flowed down the hill washed away
| vast amount of dirt in carious places
The damage along the Pittston ave-
| nue. hill was not so extensive. After
the storm passed, teams and workmer
of the Connell Coal company filled ir
the washouts with ashes.
| In Minooka operations had to cease
| for two hours at No. / COlliery of the
| Greenwood Coal company, owing tC
| the tracks about the cOllery being
| badly damaged. a two-stOry dwelling
on Gilmore avenue in that vicinity, ten.
amented by Peter Walsh, was struck
| by a bolt of lightning.

be an organization, against which l pro-
tested as being contrary to all rules and pre-
cedents The credentials of majority of
the districts and notices of contests in the
remsining districts having been handed up
to me, and the confusion being so great that
ii was impossible to do anything, | an
nounced that would call the convention
to order in another hall, where the conven-
ton was duly organized, and Hon. John
Mcdonald was authorized to appoint dele
gates to represent Montgomery county at
the District Convention to be held at Fred
erick on September IA.
We claim that the so.called convention
held by Mr.. Gould and his friends was not
legally or properly organized, and that 1t
was not the Republican Convention Of
Montgomery county.
The facts set forth in the notices OF con-
test show condition Of bribery and fraud
that should defeat any man who partici-
pated in it or who hopes to be beneficiary
of such methods
Since the primary elections on Saturday
| have seen number of the leading indie
pendent Democrats of this county, and they
are unit in their expressions of disgust at
the methods pursued by Gould and his
friends, and express the opinion that should
such thing be possible as MIR. Goulds
nomination, Montgomery county would give
not less than 1000 majority against him. AS
the probability is very strong that Wash
ington county, always uncertain, may go
Democratic, the danger from Gould's nom
ination may be easily seen.
