WEATHER MAN MOORE HERE
Selected Scranton as the Place Above
All Others Possessing a Climate
Conducive to Health
Recuperation.

Scranton's model weather received a
most nattering testimonial yesterday
when Willis L. Moore, of Washington,
chief Of the United States weather
bureau, came here to spend his summer
vacation.
Mr.. Moore has not been feeling well
of late and recently decided to take a
season off for rest and recreation. A
consultation of the weather reports
from all over the country, which are
daily received by his department, led
him to choose Scranton as the place,
above all others in this vast country,
offering the closest approach to per-
fection in the way of healthy and pleas
ant climate.
The above is for the use of the board
OF trade on its next annual report.
The facts of the case are these:
Mr.. Moore is enjoying brief rest
from his arduous labors and yester-
day accompanied by his wife came on
her from Washington to look after
some property and business interests
which he has here and then to go on
to Ithaca, N. Y, to assist in locating
the new meteorological observatory
which Cornell university is about to
erect. When this is done Mr.. and
Mrs. Moore will spend a week or SO
at Glen Summit.
Mr.. Moore is one of the most prOmi
nent men whom Scranton has given
to the world. He was born in this
city nearly fifty years ago during u
short sojourn here of his parents, who
were previously residents of New York
and later moved to Binghamton. He
was, however, reared in the latter city
and is generally considered a Bing-
hamton man.
During a part Of yesterday Scran-
ton had the honor Of entertaining in
Mr.. Moore a member of the president
cabinet.
Hon. James Wilson, secretary OF
agriculture, is on a vacation up in
Vermont. Colonel Brigham, his depu-
ty, was called out of Washington or
business several days ago and relin.
quished the portfolio to Mr.. Moore
| who was next in authority.
Colonel Bingham did not return t.
| Washington until yesterday afternoon
and in consequence Mr.. Moore was no
relieved of his acting secretaryshiI
until after he had arrived in Scranton

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

This week brought to the surface two
exciting pieces of political news.
One is the story that ex-Sheriff Charles
Robinson is going to resume his place
as the local Democratic leader and dedi-
cate his energies and his dollars to the
task of reorganizing the party in this
county.
The other was the announcement Of
Lord Byron Green that he will be a can
didate for the Republican nomination for
county commissioner.
Mr.. Green made a somewhat lengthy
statement of his case for the benefit of
the Republican voters of the county and
told them just what they might expect
from him in the event of his nomination
and election.
Mr. Robinson did not indulge in any
such candid statement as was penned
by Mr.. Green, in fact he declines to
confirm the report that he is again going
to put on the political harness, but many
who are close to him say ne will soon
be seen in the thick of the fray again.
There has heen no end of discussion
during the week about the probable
makeup of the county tickets this fall
and any number of guesses are being
made.
John Fickus, of Birch street, has de-
cdod TO enter the lists as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for county
commissioner and will next week register
with Secretary Watkins Of the county
committee. lie is a well known resident
of South Scranton.
John Demuth, the present Democratic
member of the board of commissioners
has not yet made up his mind with ref
erence to seeking a denomination from
his party.
II may and may not become a candi-
date for denomination" he said yesterday
| to Tribune man, 81 have not made up
my mind.
Paul Aten, of Newton, who has for
years been a prominent figure in Demo,
cratic conventions, is already making q
| lively run for the Democratic nomina
tion for commissioner.
| He has been mentioned for a nomina
| tion at every county convention for years
| past and believes 1t Is time the bosse.
| stopped Juggling with his name and
| threw him something in the way of q
nomination.
"If don't get a nomination this time
said Mr.. Aten yesterday, "Ill never lool
| for one again"
| This is fair warning TO the leaders and
| the citizens Of Lackawanna generally
that this is positively their last chanc,
| for Aten. II they lose him it's their owr
fault,
|
| Colonel f. ]. Fitzsimmons, chairman o
| the Democratic county committee hal
not decided when he will call his com
mittee together to fix upon a date FOL
| holding the convention.
When seen by Tribune man yester
day he said he had not given the matter
any thought as yet but does not thinl
the convention will be held before tn,
latter part Of August.
Nothing has been done as yet in tn
way d fixing n time for the Republican
county primaries which for the first tim,
viii he conducted according 10 the Craw
| ford county rules.

ANOTHER SILK MILL.
It Is to Be Erected at Pine Brook by
the Klotz Silk Company of Car
bondale-To Employ Four
Hundred Hands.

And still another silk mill is head
ed Scrantonward and another indus
try billed for Pine Brook.
The Klotz Silk company, which con-
ducts a large mill in Carbondale and
a small one in the annex of the Mears
building in this city, has organized a
Scranton company with the assistance
Of John T. Richards and John A.
Mears and will establish a large MILL
likely, in the Pine Brook portion Of the
city.
The plans for the building have been
made by Contractor l.. c. Holden and
bids for it's construction will be asked
for as soon as the site is definitely de-
cided upon. Two or three sites are
in view, but the one most favored
is a plot on Monsey avenue, near Pop
lar street, facing the Lackawanna
brewery.
The mill will at the very outset en-
ploy 400 hands.
w. II. Davis, who recently bought
twenty lots on the Fairview Land
company tract. where Locust and
East Elm streets, intersect the
Bloomsbury division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western road, is also
planning for the erection of a large
silk mill and expects to begin work as
soon as the strike is settled.
President Keller and Secretary Ath-
erton of the board of trade, in dis
cussing the new silk mills yesterday,
were very enthusiastic over the pros
pect of Pine Brook becoming the in
dustrial as we'll as geographical CEN
ter of the CtV. The recent additionu q
to it's industries, the piano factory
and the bolt and nut works, and the
rumor of a new brewery to be located
there, have started a boom for that
end of the town. the board of trade
men say, which gives promise of MAX
ing it a veritable hive of industry.

MERCHANT JOYCE WAS KISSED.
His Face Quickly swelled to an Alb
normal Size.

w p. Joyce, the West Lackawanna
avenue merchant, is the latest local
victim Of the kissing bug. While stand
ing in front of the Valley house Thurs
day night he was stung on the lip by
an insect and in a very brief space of
time his face began to swell.
He procured medical treatment at
once and yesterday the swelling began
TO recede. Last evening his face was
beginning to assume its normal ap-
pearanCe.
He says that when he felt the sting
on his lip he was affected all through
his body as If shocked by electricity.
He struck the bug with his hand when
"shooing" it off, but could not find it,
though he made a diligent search.
He does not think he killed 1t or
that he hit it hard enough to even
main it. There is, therefore, a possi-
bility that it will be heard frcm again.

WESTERN MEN COMING.
CARcAssEs ARE REMOVED.
People of the Neighborhod Much Re-
lieved Thereat.

The bodies of the eleven horses
burned in Jones Brothers barn by the
big Fourth Of July fire were yester-
day removed by Hewitt & Son, much
to the relief of the residents of that
neighborhood.
A dispute as to who should remove
the Carcasses was responsible for the
delay. The city finally ordered it done,
with the understanding that the mat
ter of expense be dealt with later. It
was a stroke of economy for the city to
do the work at once. no matter who
should pay the expense, as an even
one hundred and forty-four quarts OF
chloride of lime was used up to yes
terday to make the neighborhood ten
able.
