ers are laid and the road protected
from mine caves, was around yester-
day with a new argument to hurl at
the city fathers who are anxious to
see the pave laid at once.
Another mine cave on North Main
avenue" was Mr.. Lowery's saluta-
tion to a Tribune reporter in the
city hall yesterday afternoon. That's
the third since called the at
tention of councils to the folly
of putting down "A pave until the road
way is secured against further caves.
Probably they'll believe there is some
thing in what have been telling them
after we have few more caves.
"Today's break in the road Is some
what different than those that pre-
ceded ii and more dangerous, too The
first sign of a cave appeared early in
the morning and when / came to town
at O'Clock there was a hole fifteen
feet deep and ten feet in diameter. The
hole is bell shaped, and much larger
at the bottom that at the top and
wagons that went close to the edge Of
the hole were fortunate they did not
tumble in. l..
Suppose that street had been paved.
Wagons or cars might have got right
over the center of the cave before the
pavement gave way and then down
everything would go to the bottom with
a crash. If no lives were lost it would
be fortunate circumstances. At any
rate the city would have damage suits

JUDGE WILL FIGHT AGAIN
Anxious for Another Debate With
Mysterious Billy Smith, But
Wants No Hitting in the
Enthusiastically
Opinion.

Jack Skelly, manager of the Ameri-
office last night and stated that he has
$1,000 to post for another twenty-round
match between Jim Judge and "Mys-
terious" Billy Smith. He will go to
New York TODAY armed with a certi-
fled check for that amount and will
bring about another debate between
the man Of the awe-inspiring label and
the defeated but no dismayed Jimmy,
if Smith will agree to box without hit
ting in the clnches. and also to find
some other referee besides Sam Austin.
Skelly scornfully and Contemptuously
disavowed the stories that are current
about Judges physical condition. Some
said that Jimmy is sure to decline into
Brights disease from the rapping he
got in the vicinity of the kidneys.
Skelly said that the punishment was
in no danger of doing any such thing
Judge was walking around yesterday
as if nothing happened.
But of one thing Skelly is confident.
He will bet his boots that Judge can
best Smith in a twenty-round bout with
hitting in the clinches barred. Hitting
with one arm free is a bulldog style
of fighting; it is not boxing nor is it
scientific. 1t is an exhibition of pure
and unadulterated brute strength.
Skelly says he has had to do with
over 1000 men in the business during
his time and he considers Judge the
gamest man of them all. His ability
to stand up twenty rounds and take
the amount of blows he got without
showing the effect any more than he
did was more than any other man
Skelly ever saw could do.

ceived letter from Corporal w. I.

Porto Rico, of which the following is
a part:
In regard to Mauser rifles and ma
chete would state that the rifles are all
in charge Of the United States regulars
and it is an utter impossiblity to pro-
cure one for less than 500 and then the
officers have first chance. The ma
chetes are $1.25, but have never seen
any service, so on that point as a curio
they are weak. About the only curios
here of any value are native slippers
and jugs, and they sell rare and novel
canes from 81 up, Spanish money. 1t
would afford me great pleasure to ac-
commodate you in your request, but
have given you straight facts.
There are some nice old oil paint
ings from 50 Spanish up. If there is
anything you would like from here, let
me know and l will try and accommo-
date you. l can secure Mauser bullets
and Spanish buttons in any amount
for five cents each. have a position

a day. / have charge of twenty natives
and l superintend the unloading of
cargoes, etc. 1 am engaged this week
in weighing off the cargo of jerked beef
captured on the Ventura, a Spanish
ship, at the opening of hostilities.
THE Scranton boys seem to be all
satisfied with their lot. The volunteers
that left for home from this port were
sight. Talk about rag-muffins, they
were not in it for get-ups. None of
them were shaved for six weeks, their
blue uniforms had turned green, shoes
worn out and every part of their equip
ment dilapidated. We have an elegant
location on the dock and are living in
the best possible manner, most of the
time on board the steamers.
The scenery here is grand and the
climate delightful. l only wish l had
a Kodak, 1 could snap some of tho
finest views ever taken"

conspicuous, there being quite q large
representation from the Bar associa-

that of life. About the casket was
banked a wealth of beautiful floral
tributes.
At 2 o'clock the services were be-
gun. They were conducted by Rev DIR.
+. b. Hodge. pastor of the First Pres
byterian church. and Rev. r. B. Web

a most appropriate sermon, in which
he voiced a beautiful eulogy to the
life of deceased.

ian church, composed of Mrs. Freu-
denberger Miss Nettie Munyan, Fred
Smith and Richard Williams impress
sively sang several appropriate selec-
tions.

THE HUCKSTERS.


"People living on Mifiin avenue
complain of the refuse from hucksters'
wagons. AS these men were given the
privilege of using this street as a
market place there should be some one
to see that the street is kept in proper
condition. The need of a public mark
ct is more apparent every year, and
think that the board of health should
not cease to urge the necessity of q
market upon the councils.
THE properties of Shotten, Giles
pie, McKehan and others previously
complained of are still not connected
with the sewers and are draining into
the open ditch. l would be glad to re-
ceive definite instructions from the
board. on Remington avenue, near
Elm street, east of the Delaware and
Hudson railroad, the streets and va
cant lots are in an eXecrable Condi-
tion and will be until the long delayed
sewer is completed. Complaint was
made to the board of poisoned well
on Keyser avenue. Investigation dis
closed the fact that the people have
been using water from the we'll in
which a few days ago the decomposed
body of a baby was accidentally dis
covered. The owners were notified to
fill up the well. None Of the people
using the water had developed any
disease so far. Diluted cannibalism
does not seem to have had any very
malignant effects yet"
Food Inspector Cullen's report was
that he made 6l5 store and market in
spections, 212 milk inspections with the
lacometer and 46 tests with the Bah
cock system. During the month he
destroyed $50 pounds of beef, 3OS
pounds of mutton, 5S pounds of veal
20 pounds of sausage, 1867 pounds Of
fish, 13 bushels of apples, 16S baskets
