THE SENIORS PLAY.
Eight lonely Seniors
sitting In n row,
Studying very studously
Faces all aglow.
Suddenly the bell rings,
Each one takes his stand,
Marching to the class room.
All so great and grand.
First they learn how Venus
Travels In her course
And then about that property
Which did. so much FOR Morse,
Isotherms and parallels.
And atmosphere, and dew,
Ana hail, and rain, and cyclones,
Al so strange and new.
And then they learn In Cnesnr
About those naughty Gauls,
Add how old Caesars soldiers
scaled those monstrous walls,
And to arrange constructions,
And place the verb just so
Declining, coniugating,
tNo easy row to hoel.
Physics then comes next In line,
Always In such perfect time,
With molecules and atoms
A following long behind.
And then they read how Shakespeare.
Bacon and Carlyle
Could bring the tears into our eyes
r.elsc they make us smile.
Angles, circles, radii
Next they learn to know,
And In that old Geometry
You should see how things go.
And then they learn how king and queens
Ruled In the olden times
And here they stop. with whir, whir,
And a tumble in their minds

CITY TREASURER BOLAND INJURED.
Thrown from Carriage on Lacka.
wanna Avenue During storm.

City Treasurer c. G. Boland was
slightly injured by being thrown from
his carriage on Lackawanna avenue
yesterday afternoon during the heavy
rain and hail storm.
A spirited horse owned by Mr. Bo-
land attached to a light carriage was
standing on Lackawanna avenue when
the storm began. The horse showed
signs of uneasiness and Mr.. Boland
jumped into the carriage with the in
tention of driving to Cusick's stable
on Washington avenue where 1t is
kept.
Mr.. Boland was compelled to keep
his head down and wore his hat drawn
over his forehead to save his face from
the little chunks of ice that were pelt-
ing downward with no little force.
Near Williams candy store on Lacka-
wanna avenue Mr.. Boland's horse ran
into one drawn up at the curbstone.
The collision threw Mr.. Boland to
the sidewalk, injuring one of his legs
and bruising his forehead. His frigh-
tened horse started up Lackawanna
avenue and at Wyoming turned down
that thoroughfore toward Spruce. Near
the Leader the carriage was over
turned and quite badly damaged. The
horse released itself from the incum-
brance of the vehicle, and resumed
Its flight UP the avenue. 1t was cap
tured at the St. Cloud hotel. Aside
from few scratches it suffered no in
Jury.

RAIN INTERFERED.
Games That Were to BE Held Under
the Auspices of tho Irish Ameri.
can Societies Postponed.

There would Undoubtedly be
upwards of 5000 people at Ath-
letic park yesterday had not the
storm intervened and spoiled the
grounds for the field dav exercises.
The executive committee of the Uni
ted Irish societies met after the storm
which began a few minutes after l
o'clock and decided to postpone the cell
ebration until next Saturday.
A large amount of damage was done
anil three persons We're hurt in the
wind and hail storm by the blowing
down of the refreshment stands in the
right field section of the park. Those
injured were: John j. McAndrew, an
employe of NJ. j. Kelley, and Philip
Graf and wife who were hired to cut
sandwiches.
There was canvas canopy over the
stands and Gown it came in a heap
with TIE hail and wind. These three
were underneath it at the time. The
electric wiring that had been tempor-
arily put in to supply current for the
arc lamps at night was knocked down
ana twisted all over the ground.
McAndrew was struck on the back
by the falling of one of the poles on
injuries are rot serious, but he had to
go home. Philip Graf received a pain
ful cash on the calf of the right leg,
and was bruised about the body. Mrs.
Graf was cut on the face by flying
board.
The stands were stocked with about
5000 worth OF ice cream, soft drinks,
cakes, pies, candies. etc, and the big

We're smashed into bits by the crash of
the stands.
1t resembled small cyclone and
there was fear ard trembling among
the ones present that the roof of the
grand stand would be lifted and blown
into the field. Many a sigh of relief
was heaved when the storm ceased. 1t
began shortly after / o'clock and lasted
for Is minutes. AS soon as it moderat-
ed there was an exodus to the street,
ana honeward bound cars We're secur-
ed as quickly as they could be.
The crowd that had paid its way into
the park at l o'clock was almost 500
Rain checks We're given for admittance
on Saturday. Champion Sweeney, the
high jumper, was present at 3 o'clock,
the time appointed for his exhibition,
but the grounds were deserted except
by few athletes who were practicing,
and some of the executive committee.
Mr.. Sweeney was disappointed. He
said he was IN as fine condition as he
ever was in his life, and hoped to do
some good work yesterday. An ar
rangen,ent may be made to have him
appear Saturday.

For trying to induce a 15-year-old
girl. Jennie Hendricks, to marry him,
Louis Miller, II years of age, was ar
raigned yesterday morning before AL
derman Millar and committed to Jail
in default of 81 900 bail.
Young Millar, according to the story
of the girls mother. Mrs. Emma Hen
bricks, and as related in yesterdays
Tribune, induced the girl recently to go
with him to Binghamton, where, on ac-
count of their youthful appearance,
they failed TO find a clergyman who
would make them one. Miller's attor-
ney protested against viewing the mat
ter in a serious light, claiming for his
young client that it was but a mis-
directed love affair.
Before the youth was taken to jail
by Special officer Bryant he was put
under $500 bail to keep the peace, Miss
Ethel NJ. Martin alleging that he had
made threats against her early yes

REC0RD.BREAKING DAY.
Only One Fire and That Was a yery
Small Affair

Scranton firemen say that yesterday
was the record breaker among Fourths
of July for many years. From IL
o'clock Sunday night until IL o'clock
last night only one alarm was sound
ed, and this, from box As at Ills p. m.
was for a slight blaze caused by an
explosion of lamp on the South Side.
AS far as could be learned last night
not even a still alarm was received
during the day.
At every company quarters men.
horses and apparatus had been on the
alert since Saturday evening to re-
spond to calls with the least delay
possible. That there was nothing to do
during yesterdays daylight hours is
attributed to the heavy midday rains.
Last nights fire was due to the ex-
ploding Of a lamp which set fire to
the dwelling house occupied by Mrs.
Dingle, on Birch street The South
Scranton fire companies responded but
the fire had been put out by a bucket
brigade before they arrived. Little
damage resulted, the carpet and a few
pieces of furniture being slightly
burned

THIS AND THAT,

Alex Dunn, jr., was the hero of a bat
tie with a big rattlesnake on the Elm
hurst boulevard Sunday afternoon when
the sun was setting. The reptile fought
with desperate resistance. 1t was five
feet long all but two inches, and was
eleven inches in circumference around
the thickest part of the body. Mr.. Dunn,
his wife and two other ladies' were driv-
ing toward Elmhurst. On nearing a bend
in the road this side OF the point where
the Scranton Gas and Water company's
road converges toward the Williams
Bridge reserN DIR there were two car
rlages stopped and the horses were pranc-
ing about. Theodore Straub was in one
OF the carriages, and Il party from Mos
COW was in the other. Mr. Dunn drove
up behind and inquired the reason for
the action of the horses Pretty soon his
horses began the same capers, but he put
the whip to them and drove by. Four
rattlesnakes were cOiled alongside the
read and they were shaking their rattes.
He went by few hundred yards with
the team, and returned afoot armed with
stones and cudgels. Three of the snakes
got under cover but he engaged the
fourth and destroyed it.

Grant and Longsfreer

General Grant had as much to do With Longstreet's becoming a Republic- an as any one else. They had been schoolmates at West Point, had been graduated the same year and received their commissions at the same time. They fought among the cactus bushes of Mexico and had drunk mescal from the same jug a thousand times. It was at Jefferson Barracks, near St Louis, that Longstreet introduced his cousin, Miss Julia Dent, to Grant, and 1t was Long, street himself who told the young lady of the worth of his friend They were married, and the Georgian was at the wedding. When they next saw each other, 1t was at AppOmattox. After the formalities of the surrender were over General Grant took General Longstreet to one side and said:
 Julia wants to see you. Go home knd see your family and then come to see me, won't you?"
 Longstreet promised, and he kept his word. When General Grant became president, he asked for his advice and begged that his former adversary now be one of his advisers. General Grant never had truer friend during his ad- ministration. They knew each other When the tragedy took place at Mount McGregor, Longstreet suffered as if it were the loss of Q brother. He has often visited the tomb on the Hudson and has laid the gentlest tribute of friend upon the marble. Chicago Times Herald.
