He Cieares, III. 1,..:


Harry MacNeal, a Philadelphia boy
who was on the Brooklyn during the
naval fight of Santiago. writes to his
mother letter in which he tells; with
becoming modesty, the story Of one OF
his own exploits. The letter is printed
in the Inquirer.
Pop would like to know what have
to say about my clearing a gun Of q
5ammed shell. Well, 1t was this way.
When the shell got jammed In the gun,
and after Corporal Gray and the gum
ner's mate. Smith. had gone out ON the
gun and failed. had Just come from
where young Ellis was killed and told
the captain Of Ellis's death.
The gun crew were starting to dis
mount the gun. I asked the captain
to permit me to have try at clearing
1t. He said 1t was no use; that the gun
was disabled and that It would take an
hours time to dism6unt the gun and
eject the shelf. Finally got Captain
Murphy's permission.
pushed myself through the gum
port and reached the Jacob's-Iadder
and climbed outside. The eight-inch
tufret guns we're fired just at the time
and the shock nearly threw me over
board. I was handed q rammer and
found that 1t would not enter the bore.
then asked them to pass me a six
pounder rammer, which was handed
me.
l again got to work and reached for
the bore. Again the big guns overhead
beiched out and 1t was all that / could
do to steady myself. 1t was pretty
warm work. The Spanish gunners
were not idle. Their shots were hum
ming through the air, a one-pounder
shot from them going through the bow
about one yard from me.
finally succeeded in clearing the
gun. and she didn't go out Of commits
sion that time. She did duty through
put the fight. After had cleared the
gun l thought that would be the last
of the matter. As came back to duty
capt. Murphy patted me on the back.
md said: "You are a brave young
man.. said. Thank you. sit." Now

On the western coast CT Ireland. at
Ballybunion, the sea set fire to the
cliffs. For centuries the great Atlantic
rollers had been breaking them down
and making great assures in them. In
their depths were masses Of iron, py-
rites and alum. At last the water per-
ertated to these. and a rapid oxidi1a-
tion took place, which produced b:at

FUNERAL OF MRS. CoNNELL.
Beautiful Services Conducted by Rev.
DR.. Pearce.

A large assemblage of townspeople
and family friends passed in at the
door of eX-Mayor William L. Connells
residence on Clay avenue yesterday,
where, mingled with folds of Grape, the
white ribbons and roses told that one
had vanished from within before the
hand of age had tempered the affic-
tion with the memory that inevitably
Death must walk by the side of Time.
The dead mistress of the beautiful
home lay in the front drawing room
amid a wealth of flowers almost un-
equalled in sweetness and profusion.
Over the casket, completely conceal
ing all suggestion of it's sOmbre pur-
pose. fell nearly to the floor a soft,
thick veil of green, closely interviewer
with white roses. Everywhere they
bloomed, these fair roses, reminding
those looking through tear-dimmed
eyes of the gentle young mother, whose
sunny lfe's blooming had been all too
brief. Those who knew her best
thought of the courage and loveliness
of that life and how, after the weary
and agonizing battle, she who now was
sleeping had turned her face as she
seemed to hear distant call and had
cheerfully gone 'to where beyond the
voices there is rest"
Rev. DR.. w. II. Pearce, the much
loved pastor of Elm Park church of
other years. conducted the services.
Rev. Dr. Giffin. the present pastor, was
not present, having recently gone
abroad. Mrs. Joseph OBrien, Mrs. A.

composed a quartette that sweetly

DR.. Pearce read from little book
of Scriptural texts verses which in the
months of her illness Mrs. Connell
had family pencilled for the comfort
of her husband and loved ones when
she had left them lonely, 80 Lord my
strength and my fortress and my ref

DR.. Pearce spoke with emotion of
the loss of one-a choice spirit. that

NOT LIABLE TO PAY TAX.
Opinion of Attorney James H. Tor
rey Sent to Board of Trade.

On July 13, at the instance of the
board of trade stock exchange COM
mttee, Secretary ID. b. Atherton ask
ed an opinion from the attorney Of
the board, James Fl Torrey, as to the
liability of the boards stock exchange
to pay the $50 war tax imposed on
brokers.
Pending the receipt of the answer
no business was done by the exchange.
Mr. Torrey's answer is as follows:
Scranton, Pa, July l5 1895
ID. b. Atherton, Esq, Secretary Scranton
Board of Trade, Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir: Your favor of 18th inst, is
duly received and in reply would say,
first, l am of the opinion that your
mere reception and posting of an offer to
buy or sell stocks does not constitute
such transaction as is contemplated by
the revenue law and therefore does not
involve the payment of any tax. Should
you exchange between the purchaser and
a definite agreement to sell particular
stock or bonds to a particular person
for aparticular price such agreement
would be liable to tax.
Second, / am of the opinion that the
Scranton board of trade is not engaged
in such business as makes it liable for the
tax of $50 per anrum upon brokers.
Very respectfully yours,
James II. Torrey.
The exchange will now resume oper-
ations.

HAND GOT HIS GOODS.
Had to Take a Deputy Sheriff with
Him to Get Into His Wife's
House at Green Ridge.

"Alas!" sighed Michael Hand in the
language of Rip Van Winkle, my very
dog has forgotten me-"
Expression to the foregoing senti-
ment was given by Mr.. Hand as at Q
o'clock yesterday forenoon he stood
with Deputy Sheriff Coborn on the
porch of his wifes residence on Penn
avenue, Green Ridge, and the dog kept
UP a steady yelping.
"Sic him!" was the advice to the dog
from an upstairs window.
"R-r-r-r-up!" went the dog.
Madame" said Mr.. Colborn, step
ping to the walk and lifting his hat
toward the second story. Il am the
sheriff's representative and l COM
mand YOU in the name of the law to
come down and open the door"
I'm afeard OF that man with you,"
she said.
Don't believe her, sheriff." spoke up
Mr.. Hand. I'm the one that needs to
be afraid. Didn't she say once she
would poison me?'
The officer of the law said he would
see that no harm came to either Up
on this assurance she came down and
unlocked the door.
Mr.. Colborn informed Mrs. McHugh-
Hand that he had a writ of replevin
to serve on her at the instance of her
husband. The writ recited the follow
ing articles: Two horses, sets of har-
ness, ! single harness, / sleigh, suits
of clothes, pairs of shoes, 2 clocks, 2
horse blankets, l double carriage, and
single buggy. all of the value of Sos.
Mrs. Hand admitted the articles were
on the premises and instructed the SER
wants to show the sheriff through the
house for the clothes and shoes. and
to the stable for the other things.
Look at them diamond rings he gave
me before we were married" she said
addressing the sheriff II wonder why
he doesn't want them back. too"
"Oh, you can keep them and much
good may they do YOU" ruefully re-
piled Mr.. Hand.
Then both told Mr.. Colborn about
their courtship until they came near
getting into a physical argument. The
articles mentioned in the writ were all
taken except the sleigh. Mr.. Hand said
to leave it there until he has use for it,
Deputy Sheriff Ryan informed him
later in the day that he had better get
all the articles he claimed now and be
done with it,
They went out to Green Ridge again
at 3 O'Clock, but they came back with
out the sleigh. She would not open the
stable the second time. Mr. Hand did
not press hard for it.
Little I dreamed two years ago that
this is the way it would be now" he
sighed.
They were married on October IA
1896, after a cOurtship of about three
months. Divorce proceedings are now
pending.
