THE ELKS' STREET FAIR.
It Will Be One of the Greatest
Events That Scranton Has
Ever Witnessed.

The monster street fair and carnival,
under the auspices of the Scranton
Ellls and the Bostock Midway COM
pany, at Washington avenue and Ash
street, promises to be a first class
thing for the Electric City.
Special days will be set apart for
the different fraternal orders, for or
ganized labor school children, and
there will be band and other con-
certs. The police arrangements will
insure the best order on the grounds
and absolute safety for persons and
for property. The grounds will be
thoroughly lighted by electricity in
the evening
1t is estimated that at least 100000
persons from the surrounding terri
tory will visit the fair and exposition,
and special arrangements for cheap
fares are being made with the sew
eral railroad companies.
The committees are working night
and day to make the affair a success,
and the general opinion among those
who ought to know is that the COM
ing street fair and exposition will be
one of the grandest things that Scran=
ton ever W messed.
The following communication has

PRISONERS AT WORK.
Results of the First Day Are Very
Satisfactory-Men Are Making
Repairs on Newton Turnpike.

If the first days experiment at work.
ing county Jail prisoners on the public
roads is to be taken as a criterion the
project is destined to be a success.
The prisoners were not only willing
and anxious to go out in the gang, but
when put to work labored so faith
fully that it was not necessary to give
them the slightest urging, and not even
the suspicion of an attempt to escape
was noticed.
one of the squad, too, was a prisoner
who at one time skipped Jail and was
re-captured. A one-armed prisoner
was taken along as water-carrier
He went about at will without being
guarded and at almost any time dur
ing the day could have gotten away
and safely beyond immediate pursuit.
A foreman and two guards accom-
panied the squad, but their orders were
to avoid as much as possible any
thing that would SAVIOR of espionage.
When the men We're landed at the
road where they were to work, Super
visor A. b. Dunning told them they
were to be treated as ordinary work.
men and not as members of a chain
gang and that there would be no au-
thority exercised over them except to
direct their work as long as there was
no direct occasion for exercising
any other authority.
The men were then sent with wheel
barrows into the Briggs farm to haul
stone to the road preparatory to break
ing it up for macadamizing. At noon
time they were fed from large lunch
baskets filled at the Jail before the
departure in the morning. They were
given plenty of substantial food and
hot coffee, and, as an extra incentive
to good conduct, Warden Simpson sent
along big box of tobacco from which
the men could help themselves at WILL
Not one of the twelve but what seemed
to regard the outing in the nature
of holiday and frequent expressions
to that effect were heard.
The squad was conveyed to and from
the Jail in two dirt wagons which are
to be used in the work of road making.
They were attired in the ordinary over
alls and jumpers of laborers and there
was nothing about their appearance
to indicate they were Convicts. On
the way over the wagons were halted
several times by idle men who wanted
to be taken along and given days
work. They supposed it was a gang
of laborers going to work for some
contractor.
Six more men are to be sent out
today and later another half dozen will
be added to the squad. Twenty-Five
prisoners answered Warden Simpsons
first call for volunteers. and some of
those who were not allowed to go
seemed very much disappointed. One
of the disappointed ones told run
ner to tell Simpson that if he wasn't
allowed to go out with the work squad
he wouldn't stay at the blamed in
stitution any longer.
The piece of road being worked is
the stretch of the old Newton turnpike
from the forme.' toll house to the city
line at Wickizer's quarry. 1t is to be
graded, macademized and guttered,
and the work is to be done in a sub
stantial and thorough manner. II.
c. Hale is foreman, and Robert Allen
and Henry Lotus act as guards. The
latter is substituting for II. F. Ferber,
who is i'll.

SEEING REAL SERVICE.
Interesting Letter from First Lieu
tenant Thomas P. Murphy, of the
Forty-seventh Regiment.

In a letter to a friend here, First
Lieutenant Thomas p. Murphy, of the
Forty-seventh infantry, now at Legas-
pl, IN the southern part of the island
of Luzon, writes that his battalion has
been almost constantly engaged since
Jan. Is last, suppressing the insurgents
in the Province of Abby.
He says in reference to the fighting
that I'VE got all we were looking for"
On January 23 they took the town of
Abby after lively encounter in which
sixty of the enemy were killed and
many wounded, and two days later the
town of Donaga was taken. The
American loss in these two engage
ments was one killed and seven
wounded.
On the night of February ana 5.
the enemy attempted to drive them out
but failed and the attempt cost the
Fflipinos one hundred lives. The
Americans lost three killed and seven
wounded, including two officers.
On February 8 and IL in engagements
at the town of Tobacco seventy-seven
of the insurgents were killed and many
wounded, while the Americans had
only one man wounded. Since January
is, Lieutenant Murphy says his bat
talon alone has killed or wounded not
less than a thousand of the enemy.
The other two battalions, he says, are
doing about the same work
Speaking of the campaigning Lieu
tenant Murphy says: "Of course II is
exciting but some times it is a little too
much so, especially when they come
after you on a very dark night.
you know those fellows are just the
color of night and when they surround
you and close in with yell, which Is
the most terrible ky-yi l ever heard,
your blood, 1 tell you, commences to
creep. After you find where they are
and get to shooting at them it is all
right. But the minutes on such dark
nights as they pick out to do their
work seem like hours. They can't
stand to have them old Krags going
into them and ] don't wonder bit at
