those days-took a wedding trip to
Europe. They remained there two
years. This young man coming sud-
denly into possession of this great
estate-for it was great in those days
joined clubs, attended the races. got
to drink ing and gambling. Losing at
gambling, he endeavored to regain the
fortune lost, and went on from bad to
worse, until he became a common
drunkard. During the two years they
spent in Europe, a child was born to
them. At last, as the result Of his dis
sipation, they found themselves al
most penniess; they had just enough
to bring them back to New York. He
sold his wife's jewelry and parted with
all the clothing that they could spare,
to get enough money to take them to
their old home, and when they got
there, she, of course, was broken
hearted, humilated-he, a blear-eyed,
bloated wreck! He had left there but
two years before bright, sober, high
ly respected young mana young man
of future, fame, and honor in the COM
munity where he was raised. His
friends rallied around him and tried
to saye him, but he had become so de-
bauched and profane and brutal, that
he spurned their friendly offers; at
last, with the aid of friends and by the
solicitation of his wife, who had been
stricken with consumption, they moved
south in the state, where there was a
good town, but where there were two
or three saloons. It is hard in this
country, outside of prohibition
state, to find place where there are
no saloons. They moved into cabin
in the outskirts of the town. She was
on a bed of straw, hollow-eyed aud
pale-her little boy, then about ten
years of age, her only watcher. While
he was with mamma, papa was at The
saloon cleaning out the spittoons for a
drink.
And this poor mother, in her great
distress sinking day by day lower and
lower, not having the comforts of life,
at last, one day, in her great agony,
said to her little boy, "Oh, Tommy
won't you pray for mammal" Tommy
knelt down and said, 80 Lord, wilt
Thou look down upon our humble
home? Wilt Thou bless my dear
mamma? Wilt Thou, Lord, relieve her
of her great suffering?'
And then the drunken father came
in, caught him by the hair, threw him
upon the floor, kicked him and cuffed
him and beat him, and said, "Now,
you little scoundrel, If I eyer come
home and catch you sniftl1ng and
praying over your mother, you leave
this house, never to darken this door
again." And week later, mamma,
growing weaker, Tomms faithfully
watching by her side, said to him in
her great distress, in her agony, Just
able to speak in a whisper-''T -''Tommy,
pray again. And the little fellow
had scarcely knelt kown when this

You may vote to "let the saloon
alonen but it will not "let you alone" :"
-Ram's Horn.

'The saloon system largely in
creases our taxes by multiplying
rhine. producing poverty, breeding
insanity, creating disorder in COM
nunities, and lessening the productive
'esources of this country. It don't
'ay TO allow one man to make drunk
ards, and then tax other men to pay
sheriffs, jurors and judg dges for CATCH
ing and Furnishing the drunkard, far
'ettel' punish the drunkard-maker and
stop his business entirely. It don't
pay TO tolerate a business that brings
poverty to thousands of our people,
aud then tax quiet, Industrious citi-
zens'7to relieve that poverty" In
short, it is not just to tax the honest
aborer to make good the losses and
'epair the ruin caused by the rum
traffic; hence every tax payer ought to
vote az ainst it.
Horace Greeley once said; 1.-The
wayto deal with the liquor traffic is to
take that dogs tail off back of his
neck" That did not mean high
license.
E . y
Some people say "If we can't enforce
a prohibitory law wouldn't it be better
to hedge it in with high license?" No,
a thousand times, no. If you get on
the side of God and home and do your
duty as a citizen, God will take care
Of the results.
This is serious matter and one
that we cannot pass by lightly. "Make
a chain, for the city is full Of viol.
enee!" Make chain to hold down
fast and tight that which is so de.
strnctive to the welfare of our town.
Every man is making chain and tha
chain is no stronger than it's weakest
link. 1t makes no difference how per.
feet you may be in this or that, the
strength of your chain will be meas.
ured by the casting of your ballot.
You talk about it letting you alone,
1t lets nobody alone! There is not a
mother in all this land who sees her
boycomiug reeling home drunk land
there are many OF them right here in
iinnars and Vieinitgg who declares
that the saloon lets her alone, al.
the agh she lets it alone!

ARCHIBALD.

Contrary to expectations, the Car
bondale Traction company has consid-
erable trouble when it undertook to
narrow the gauge of the track in this
borough Monday morning. On Satur-
day Burgess Langan and President
Jones, of the borough council, signed
an order directed to Chief McHale, in
structing him not to molest the EN-
ployes of the street railway company.
The chief ignored this. and when the
men began to work he arrested Fore
man w ]. Gordon. Immediately the
chief himself, his six deputies and
Councilman Price We're placed under
arrest by Constable Neary, of Carbon
dale, and taken before Squire Gildea.
They entered bail. Mr.. Price becoming
their bondsman. Then Foreman Cor
don was taken before the squire and
held to BAIL Justus Bishop was his
surety. Later on the chief and his as
sistants arrested sixteen workmen and
superintendent Flynn and they We're
obliged to enter bail Their bondsmen
were F.. s. Jones, of Blakely, and +. A.
Jones, of this place.
After their release from custody the
workmen started to narrow again and
continued at work until 5 o'clock. Work
was not resumed yesterday morning.
While they worked during the day they
narrowed about 300 yards and the
Scranton cars can now come to the top
of Dutch hill. They are running no
farther than the PeckVille line, how
ever, and may not until the present
trouble is settled.
The difficulty is proving rather ex-
pensive to the borough. Watchmen are
kept on duty at the expense of tho
people and in the end they will have to
settle. The borough council should
meet at once and agree upon a line of
action. The differences are not so great
that they cannot be adjusted if the
council goes about the settlement in a
reasonable way.
Night schools opened in all the
schools of the borough Monday night
with large attendance.

was coupling the cars when they sud
denly came together, crushing his body
in most horrible manner. There
was no one near when the accident
happened, but when discovered some
time later he was tenderly removed
by several of the miners. He was taken
to his home in Jones' ambulance, where
he died shortly after arriving. He
was q bright and industrious boy and
had a large number of friends who
will be deeply grieved at his untimely
demise. Besides his mother he is sur

"Bostonians" Tomorrow Night.

The engagement of that greatest of
all comic opera companies, "The Bos-
tCnians" at the Lyceum tomorrow eve
ming is prefaced by a sale of seats
which insures a crowded house. The
appearance of this popular organiZa-
tion have always been an unusual
event in the theatrical calendar and
their coming this time has excited
pleasant agitation in musical and fash
ionable circles. In the past ten years
other opera companies have come and
gone, but THE Bostonans" remain in
the field without an undoubted rival
and present an exceptional group Of
artists, the like of which has never
been heard in the lyric field. Each
CT these favorites is a star of the first
magnitude and includes names famous
and familiar to every one. No organ
ization gives such care for detail as
do "The Bostonians" and no other
company with the exception of the
Metropolitan Grand Opera company
carries with it a complete orchestra
and especial attention is directed to-
ward the chorus adjunct and orches-
trail background furnished by the vet
ern director, s. L. Studley "The Sere-
made" is the opera the Bostonians will
sing.

OLYPHANT.

The borough fathers met and trans
acted much business on Tuesday night.
After Secretary O'Malley read the min
utes of the previous meeting, Mr.. How
ard took exceptions to that portion
relating to the awarding of the sewer
contract to stephen Flanagan. How
ard maintained that isasmuch as the
letting of the contract to Flanagan
was lost by a tie vote at a previous
meeting, the action of the council at
the last meeting was illegal. Mr..
O'Brien did not agree with him and
stated that, as the resolution award
ing the contract was in writing and
was passed by a majority it was per-
fectly legal After several motions
and counter-motions, the minutes were
left unapproved. The street commits
siOner's time for October was then
read and passed upon. The auditors
bills were paid, as were also those of
the secretary and burgess for salary.
The expenses for operating the electric
plant, for labor and supplies for Octo-
ber, amounted to $30377. An opinion
was read from Borough Solicitor Lynch
relative to the question as to whether
the Traction company could be held
responsible for the payment of a por-
tion of the Lackawanna street pave
1t was his opinion that the company
had escaped liability by abandoning
that part of the route before the pave
was laid. Mr.. Howard moved that
the street commissioners time, which
has been held up for several months
past, be paid. 1t was passed. G.. A.
Prokopovitch, who had a barouche
damaged by falling into an excavation.
stated that unless the council was
prompt in taking some action on the
matter he would proceed to law. The
president appointed Messrs. Robinson
and Marks to investigate and see
whether the Olyphant Water company
or the borough were responsible for
the damages sustained. The street
commissioner was directed to clean

The assertion of the coroner that
Michael O'Boyle who was found dead
in the Lackawanna river bed Sunday,
could not have turned over on his face
IL the fractures of the back of the
skull had been sustained by the fall,
has led some to believe in foul play.
AS yet there is 2 motive lacking. The
fact that more than 800 were found on
his person excludes the robbery theory.
Some interesting testimony may be
adduced at the inquest today.
