SKETCH OF ADDISON sWEETSER

Addison Sweetser, rs years of age,
passed away early yesterday morning
at the residence of his daughter, Mrs.
George Watkins, 1916 Washburn street,
with whom he and his wife have been
living for some months. The deceased
was born in Charleston, Mass, Dec. 13,
1919. He learned the trade of brick
maker and in 1850, just after being
married, came to Scranton and located
in Hyde Park borough. The house
still stands at what is now known as
Howell street, at the corner of North
Main avenue. He resided there for
twenty-five years. He was first en-
ployed in railroad construction work,
but was given a position as a foreman
under the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
company. About twenty-five years ago
he went into business for himself and
his brickyard was located where the
Diamond flats now are. Probably his
largest contracts for bricks was the old
wyoming House and the famous Wash
ington hall.
In 1891 he assumed the superintend-
ency OF Hon. William Connell's brick
yard and many of the largest and most
modern buildings contain brick made
under his watchful and efficient eye.
'iiN 'iiiS pubilN blllNt ne Htlu was tIlat
OF school director in the early history
OF the borough. He was devoted to his
home and family, but was always in
touch with progress. A charter mem
ber of the Penn Avenue Baptist church,
he was faithful In attendance.
He retired from active labor about
three months ago, removing from
South Scranton TO the home Of his
daughter, About three weeks ago his
first illness came upon him and dur
ing the last three days his mind wand
cred. prominent characteristic Of his
life was his care about his vote. He
has voted for every president since
coming of age and frequently ex-
pressed the wish that he would be well
enough TO vote on Feb. Is next. His
wife and five children survive him.
The children are Mrs. George f. Mil
lett, Mrs. George p. Shaw, of Moscow;
Mrs George Watkins, Mrs. William

HORSE UNCAREp FOR

Many residents in the neighborhood
OF Pittston avenue and Fig street
would have been pleased If they had
an agent for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals there
abouts yesterday afternoon. A large,
decent looking fellow had been driving
a horse and cutter around lower South
Scranton all morning picking up rags.
IL seems he also slowed something
more troublesome than rags away in
side his vest at intervals. He prob
ably would have excused his actions
by remarking about the intense cold.
The horse received no such care, and
about 1.3( o'clock. the end came both
for man and beast.
He went into 2, hotel, was refused
another drink and sitting down to think
it over, he collapsed. He was taken
care of by the man of the hotel The
poor horse. neglected and without a
blanket, and likely without food since
morning, stood outside shivering in the
icy wind Some kindly disposed neigh
bOrs noticed the animal. He was fed
and then was walked around to keep
him warm until his owner came to him
self which he did after few hours
and then drove off.

One OF those hair-raising runaways,
which often amounts to very little else,
occurred yesterday morning upon
South Washington avenue. There is a
steep grade leading down from the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
car shops and is about 800 feet in
length. One of the Casey and Kelly
brewery teams attached to a low bob
slcdge was being driven down this hill
when something about the harness
broke and startled the horses.
They were about half way down when
this happened and off they dashed.
Fortunately there was no load on the
wagon but about q dozen small urch-
ins had attached themselves to the
bob" and when the horses started
away they made all sorts OF funny at
tempts to get off and land right side
up. The driver got his team under
control a few blocks further down and
no damage was done.

daatardly assault upon his aged grand
me ther Mrs. Michael Ruanc. of 14l7
Cedar avenue, with whom he resided.
What led the young man to commit
the alleged deed did not appear, but it

considered d model fellow until very
recently. Only month or SO ago,
while his grandmother was i'll, in addi-

South mill he was seen by the neigh
bors 10 do the washing and other
