Sanderson avenue Green Ridge.
He has been aiing for a number of
weeks with malaria and two weeks ago

He also had heart trouble, the pri-
mary cause of which is believed
to be lightning stroke which
he sustained in May, 1885, at his
fathers home in OranSaville, Colun-
bia county. A bolt struck and shat
tered a willow tree just outside the
window at which he sat, and entering
the house rendered him unconscious. in
which condition he continued for sew
eral hours.
The shock left his nervous system
impaired and at night he said he was
never in good health since. This, how

dies. After graduating from Orange
vile academy, three years later he en-
tered Lafayette as q member of the
class of 'SS, but left college before
graduating TO accept a position as
teacher in the Huntington Mills acad-
emy and incidentally to pursue the
study of law.
He also taught school in Osceola
Mills, Bedford, and in Ohio, and then
entered the law department of the Uni
versity of Indiana, from which he
graduated with honors in 1898. Lafay-
cite college conferred upon him the
degree of Bachelor of Arts after he had
attained distinction as a contributor
to the law journals.
While not classed among the prom
inent practitioners, Mr.. Hamilton was
looked upon as one of the leaders Of
the bar In a technical knowledge Of the
law. His writings on cons .itutionnl
questions We're eagerly sought by the
law journals and he was engaged by
the publishers Of Pepper and Lewis
digest to edit the book on orphans
court practice, one of the most impor-
tant in the digest.
He was a close student too of poli-
coming to Scranton entered actively
questions. As a political orator he
gained no little prominence and after
coming to Scranton Catered actively
into campaigning.
lie also was a deeply religious man
and for a time was editor Of the
Christian Endeavor Journal, in which
movement he was prominently idenu-
fed. As one of the counsel for the
contestant in the Langstaff- Kelly con-
test his ability and perseverance won
for him much favorable comment.
The deceased was SO years Of age
and unmarried. He was q son of the
late Rev. ]. ]. Hamilton, a Presby-
terrain clergyman, Of McCoystown. Ju-
niata county. His mother, q sister
and two brothers, all residents Of Eas-
ton. survive him.
The funeral services will be con-
ducted at thes First Presbyterian
church by Rev. Dr. James Mcleod
Sunday afternoon at $50 o'clock. In
/ terment will be made at Academia,
Juniata county.
A meeting of the Lackawanna bar
has been called for 11.30 o'clock this
morning to take action on Mr.. Hamil-
TONS death.

torical event in the history of their
own country they did not forget the
land of their adoption. for draped on
either side of the stage with the white
cross and red ground of the Swiss en-
blem was the American flag.
The programme given was varied,
including a national dance by a num-
Der of the younger people, all attired
In the picturesque Swiss peasant cos
tune and one act play entitled "Uli
Rotach's Tod" 1t was a relief to see
the sincerity and earnestness with
which those who participated in this
little piece transacted their roles.
There was also an excellent series
of cineomatograph pictures presented
by Prof d. Petri Palmedo, of the In
ternational Correspondence Schools
Dancing followed the evenings pro-
gramme and a very large number Of
those present participated.
The committee in charge of last

That Is What the Trolley Companies
Promise in Near Future.

BY Christmas the Wilkes-Bar and
Wyoming Valley Traction company ex-
poets to have its cars running into this
city.
1t is thought that by Christmas the
extension OF the Scranton Railway
company's line from Rendham to the
county line will be completed. At the
county line 1t will connect with the
Duryea branch of the Wilkes-Barrc
and Wyoming Valley Traction COM
pany, thus knitting the two systems
together and making It possible to run
a trolley car from Archibald to Hantl-
coke. As soon as the guage of the
Carbondale company's line is changed
the ride to the north can be continued
as far as Forest City.
About the connection between the
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton lines John
S. Riggs. of the Wilkes-B Barre COM
pany, says:
"The Scranton Traction company
now has a force OF men at work ex-
tending it's line to Duryea, where 1t Is
proposed to connect with our tracks.

one city to the other. When this ex-
tension is completed and the two roads

pany whereby we can run our cars
through from this city to Scranton, and
vii give the Scranton company the
same privilege on this end II they de-
sire it. We WILL however. run our
cars through to Scranton whether the
Scranton company avails itself of the
privilege we extend or not"

be used and what schedule would be
followed, Mr.. Rigg replied:
1T is too early yet to talk of that,
but We propose giving the very best
possible service. We have several
large modern cars ordered which will
be delivered in this city in from six
to eight weeks, which If we find it
necessary, we can use on the new line.
These cars are larger and more modern
than any we yet have in operation
here"
