CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Bolt Strikes Green Ridge Presbyter-
ian Edifice.

A bolt of lightning struck the Green
Ridge Presbyterian church at 2.30
o'clock during yesterday afternoons
thunder storm. The damage was triv-
ial. The same stroke came in contact
with a trolley car and knocked the
motorman down.
Some excited person rang fire alarm
from Box So at the corner of Green
Ridge and Marion streets without wait
ing to ascertain the effect of the stroke.
1t did not cause a fire, and the COM
panies We're not needed. Painters at
work in the interior of the building did
not know it had been hit.
The bolt struck the roof and took a
course to rear gutter pipe where it
disappeared in the ground. The Incl
dent developed the information that
the building is insured $20.000.
A motorman was knocked down by
the bolt of lightning which struck the
church. He was Frank Raymond, of
North Bromley avenue. The car a
Green Ridge suburban line car, was
near the church at the time. Ray
mond had the controller of the car
| fixed so that only a small amount of
| power was being used. but the bolt
| made a sea of flame on the platform
| and RAYMOND was made dead to the
world for fully half a minute. The
passengers were all frightened and left
| the car.

has trouble in escaping It, A weary
travelling man, 1t is said, visited bar
Der shop in this city not long ago and
in a spirit of investigation consented
to take everything the shop had to
offer. When the inmates were through
with him the customer who had in
tended to spend ten cents gave up a
dollar and a half to settle for the hair
singe, face treatment, shoe shine
moustache dye, bay rum, witch hazel
hair tonic, etc. 1t takes a man of will
power to resist enterprise these days.
Many men are so modest about their
good deeds that they would seldom be
known but for admring friends.
Among the Scrantonians who may be
placed in this class may be mentioned
Mr.. Hanley, the kell-known caterer.
Although a journalist and artist Of
much ability, Mr.. Hanley's financial
successes have been in the line of cater
ing, and he is perhaps best known in
this way by the general public. A re-
cent instance of Mr.. Hanley's gem
erosity was furnished when buffet
coaches were placed on the main line
OF the Delaware, Lackawanna and
western railroad. In equipping dining
room cars on the road, Mr. Hanley
naturally divided the patronage that
would come to the station restaurant
In this city, consequently had no need
for many of the young girls who had
been employed there. The girls real
ized the fact, and there were solemn
faces as the time approached for the
change to be made Mr.. Hanley OBJ
served them and that settled it. "I
cannot discharge those girls" he said
to friend. I'VE do not need them,
but they shall all stay as long as they
want to-" And the force at the Han
ley dining room has remained the same
though their labors have been visibly
lightened.

THE POTTER CASE.
SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL WORK.
Son of Captain James Moir Relieved
of Appendicitis.

About two weeks ago Wilfred. the
youngest son OF Councilman James
Moir, was taken suddenly i'll and on
examination was found to be suffering
from appendicitis. An immediate op-
Grafton was recommended.
The young man was taken at once
to the Moses Taylor hospital where the
operation was successfully performed
by DR.. w. G. Fulton assisted by DIR. /.
F. Everhart and DR.. H. V. Logan. The
conditions found justified the speedy
action recommended, as death cer-
tainly would have resulted had not the
operation been performed. The lad is
recovering rapidly and is rejoicing in
the fact that he will be an immune
as far as appendicitis is concerned.

$25O,Ooo is ESTIMATED.
For Only One Kind of Proposed City
improvements.

An evidence Of the vast number of
city improvements neglected through
lack of funds appears in the figures
submitted yesterday by City Engineer
Phillips to the special joint bond or
d;nance committee of councils Mr..
Phillips estimates S250O00 as the
amount required to carry out i'm
provements and new city work. for
which plans have been made in his
department or which are known to be
needed.
The S250,00o of course would involve
much work that would be either un-
necessary or which could be dispensed
with. The figures are striking, how
ever when it. is considered that they
nearly approach the total amount ap-
propriated by councils for all city ex-
penses except sinking fund and inter-
est for the present fiscal year.

VERY HANDY cows.
Increased the Fees of Dunmore's
Poundmaster.

Peter Sawyer, the poundmaster of
Dunmore, was given hearing before
Alderman Millar yesterday morning on
the charge, preferred hv Thomas Nc
Donald, that he took McD0ra'd's COW
out of a pasture field and impounded
1t.
The prosecutor swore that his COW
was securely restrained in a pasture
lot last Sunday morning whom he went
to church, and that uoon his return
the animal was in the poun1 Anoth-
er witness testified to ha ying seen the
COW in the pasture lot at s o'clock and
IN the pound at SIS O'Clock.
No one saw Mr.. Sawyer III the very
act of taking the cow out Of the PAS
ture lot, as it is alleged lie iii, but
the circumstantial evidence was suf.
tciently strong, the alderman thought,
to warrant the defendant being held
for court, and accordingly hs called
upon him to furnish $500 bail. Sawyer
secured a bondsman and was released.

THIS AND THAT.

A contractor out at Pittsburg has
been arrested and fined for exploding
dynamite in quantities not suitable to
public comfort and safety within the
city limits. The mention of this fact
would probably cause no interest but
Tor the blasting operations that are GO
ing on daily in the vicinity of Nay
Aug park. At times some of the eff
fects produced are more than enough
to satisfy the ambitions of the most en-
thusiastic specimen of young America
on Fourth of July morning. 1t may
be all right and perfectly safe, but the
way the rocks fly about the quarry in
the vicinity of the picnic grounds
sometimes is enough to make timd peo-
pie trifie nervous. 1t would seem a
better plan to use light charges or else
confine blasting operations to early
hours of morning when the park is not
alive with men, women and children.
The Sampson and Schley doormat
has appeared in Scranton. This use
full household article contains lurid por-
traits of the two naval heroes worked
in jute and wool, and it is supposed
that the visitor will show his prefer
ence in choosing between the two faces
when wiping his feet. Like the Amer
lean flag pocket handkerchief, the por-
trait doormat seems like a doubtful
compliment to the subject.
Williams Business College" is still
one OF the prominent signs at Dunmore
corners. Few people probably asso-
clate the sign with the man who placed
IL on the building, or realize that the
Williams mentioned is now on the
scene at Manila and was spectator to
the greatest naval battle of modern
history when the Spanish fleet went
down before Admiral Dewey's gunners.
Williams business college was not a
success In Dunmore or Scranton, but
the turn in the tide of mems affairs
has suddenly placed the earnest edu-
Gator, who sadly left the city a few
months ago, in position where his tall

where he can afford to laugh at tho

Joseph Taylor, of the West Side, is
Mayor Bailey's choice for inspector of
the proposed pavement on Providence
road and North Main avenue. Unless
some change in the mayors plans is
made today, Taylor will be nominated
II. a communication from his honor to
select council tonight.
The inspectorship has been the most
largely sought-after piece of patron
age in the history of the present ad-
ministration. excepting. of course, ap-
pointments which have meant a per-
manent position. 1t will require sew
eral months to finish the contract,
which is for an asphalt pavement from
Court street to the city line. Aside
from the length of time that the in
spectorship will last, there are other
reasons for making the post much de-
sired by large number of candidates.
WAS KEPT QUIET.
Taylor's candidacy for the plum has
been kept very quiet, and until this
announcement is made, comparatively
few persons will have learned of it.
Quite different has been the canvas of
Joseph Brill for the position. He was
lOl al lllllt TIE dSSlSldIl VI "a. ID. DuI-
ming in the street department. His
friends made a vigorous hustle in his
behalf and saw that his candidacy was
given publicity in the newspapers. But
when the time came for counting noses
in select council, it was found that his
chance for confirmation was very re-
mote. This. too, was despite Mayor
Bailey's approval of Brill's canvass.
Taylor was a candidate for chief of
police but was set aside in favor of
the now ex-Chief Robling. He was
also an aspirant for the street portfolio.
He resides on Lafayette street, in the
Fourteenth ward.
1t was announced with some positive
ness last night by a leading Demo-
cratic city official that the nomination
would not be Immediately confirmed.
He said this with an emphasis and
significance of manner, which indicated
that there had not been a settlement
between the mayor and the Democrats
of select council over the formers dis
position to ignore the councilmen in
making appointments. This same city
official said the nomination would be
referred to committee.
THE POTTER CASE.
Another nomination which will come
up for consideration will be that OF
Thomas Potter to be police patrolman
1t has been held up for several weeks.
The only other matter of importance
scheduled for disposition at the meet
ing is the passage on third and final
reading of the amended common coun-
Gil ordinance, which provides for the
paving of Hyde Park avenue. Con-
cerning this measure, however, there is
no controversy.
