thetic Case.

From the home of his mother on c.
dar avenue, Mrs. Bridget Ruane, the
funeral of the late James Ruane took
place yesterday afternoon.

the funeral was the arrival of Joseph

where they went to attend the funeral
of their other brother. Thomas Ruane,
assistant chief of the fire department
of that city. When the train arrived at
the local station a party of friends met
the brothers and impaired to them the
news of their other brothers death.
The funeral of James was delayed in
hopes that they might reach the city in
time for the funeral.

street. Rev. Z. j. Melley, rector of the
church, Officiated In his remarks he
referred feelingly to the affliction the

an ambulance. And II needs one as
soon as possible. Who will start a
popular subscription for the purchase?
The amount needed is $500 and in order
to carry on the good work being done
at the institution an ambulance Is
needed nearly every day.
when the Thirteenth regiment asked
for an ambulance The Tribune started
the subscription list and in a very
short time the amount necessary was
realized. Hon. John r. Farr, one of
the hospital directors, brought the
matter to the attention of the West
Side board of trade at it's recent meet
ing, but the matter was not acted
upon.
The Tribune now proposes to raise
the necessary amount for the hospl-
tai ambulance and has started the ball
rolling by calling for popular contri-
buttons. which will be received at its
West Scranton branch office in Jen-
kins' drug store, corner of Main ave-

received each day will be published in
this department.

1.-THE Assassination of Lincoln" was
the subject of Miss Lucretia Snyders
valedictory at the High school com
mencement Thursday night. 1t was a
very thoughtful effort. The essay was
as follows:
For four years Civil war had been
rending our country and the struggle
between the North and the South had
been kept up with varying intensity.
Many fertile acres had been laid waste;
many homes left desolate, and want
and misery stared many in the fac.
But now, Lee and nearly all the other
Confederate leaders having surrend-
cred, the war was ended, and peace
settles over the country. Fathers,
mothers, wives and children are watch
ing for the return of loved ones, and
sorrowinE for those who at Shiloh,
Chickamauga,o or Gettysburg had fought
their last fight.
But in spite of this sorrow and in
spite of the enormous losses sustained
throughout the war, there is a fulness
of joy in the hearts of the people. They
are filled with gladness the termina-
tlon of the terrible conflict. Slavery,
that awful blot on the history of our
country has been wiped out of exist
ence. There is no longer a North and
a South, IL is now one country, united
by the shed blood of thousands upon
thousands of brave men.
And so, the people are Joyful in the
midst of their sorrow. Bells are rung,
canons are fired. flags are raised, and
everywhere the end of the war is being
celebrated.
