WHY THEY WE'RE THANKFUL.

The Home for the Frlendless will have
a happy Thanksgiving day as the result
of the kindly. thought OF many friends
among the school children. Yesterday
from No. 2S school a largo wagon load
of provisions was received as the contri-
button from Miss MOffatts room, while
a huge dray load came from the other
rooms of that building. From No. S6 was
sent another big wagon load and box
containing elgrty-threc cans of fruit and
vegetables, besides $3.50 I'm cash. How
gratefully these bountlful gifts are re.
ceived can scarcely be expressed by the
management. J. G. Warner contributed
the carriage for these donations
The School of the Lackawanna, ac-
cordng 20 beautiful custom observed
In that Institution, made a collection of
gifts yesterday for distribution among
the poor. This was the occasion of a
scene not on the bill which attracted
the individual attention of the populace
in that locality. 1t included a small boy
and n roose. The boy was Carleton, the
10-year-old son of ]. l.. Connell, and
grandson of Congressman William Con-
nell. The goose was n big gray biped
with broad pink ribbon tied iauntily
about its neck. 1t was held tenaciously
under the lads arm and he was followed
by a procession Of school boys and girls,
the volume of which had Swelled TO an
army before reaching jefferson avenue.
The goose made a sensation upon its ar
rival and no doubt the history of its
further peregrinations to the fortunate
home of its destination would be of in
terest.
Owing to the liberal donations from
parishioners and priests. the largest SIN
gle contribution being from the Spooner
Dramatic company now playing in this
city. the committee of the Womens s
guild was enabled to send out between
forty and fifty bags of poultry and pro-
visions from st. Lukes parish house to
as many families whose Thanksgiving
day will thus be frightened.
A small boy on the hill asked his
mother yesterday If 1t wouldn't be n good
thing to be thankful today that they
didn't have a water meter as well as a
gas meter In their house, and his
mother was of the opinion that it would
This is a reminder Of an incident at the
doll show the other day when some one
was sent next door to n livery stable
for a small pail of water for the five
o'clock tea $50 sorry" said the stable
man, politely, but we've got meter
now and we can't lend any water"

A DEATH BED DEED.
Effort Is Now Being Made to Have
the Court Annul It Through a
Bill in Equity.

A death-bed deed made by a man
in his ninety-third year was the OBJ
ject of an attack made through a bill
in equity filed yesterday by Attorneys
II. c. Butler and w. w. Lathrope.
The plaintiffs are Agnes Cameron and
Anna Scurry, of Carbondale; Rebecca
Craver, of Illinois; Duncan Cameron,
of Iowa. May Cole, of Iowa; Eliza
beth Grey, of Illinois, children, and
Christiana Russell Davis, Angus, John,
Thomas, William, Jennie. Margaret
and Minnie Russell. grandchildren of
Angus Cameron, deceased, of Carbon
dale. The defendants are Angus Cam
eron, jr, and Thomas w. Kay, of
Scranton.
Among the effects of the decedant
We're two improved lots of land in the
Second ward of Scranton, numbered
lots IA and 10 in block 6. The aged
owner died Sept. 80, 1892 in the ninety
third year of his life, after a three
weeks illness. A week previous to his
death he decided this property to An
gus c. Gray, son of his daughter. Mrs.
Emma Gray, who. it is alleged, at
tended Angus senior during his last
illness. The consideration in the deed
was "one dollar in hand"
The deed it is averred, was drawn
up by Alderman w. r. Baker and he
notified the decedant that it would not
be effective unless delivered direct.
The deed, however, was not properly
delivered, it is claimed. The plaintiffs
say that it was placed in a satchel by
the old man and the satchel returned
to a closet, where it remained until
after his DEATH when Mrs. Gray, it is
stated, removed the deed and delivered
it to her son, who caused it to be re-
corded in his name, and then borrowed
81, 900 on it from Dr. Kay.
The plaintiffs seek to have the deed
annulled and the defendant compelled
to make an accounting to the heirs.
The property is valued at $4,000.

most painless manner possible.
