train backing into the yards.
The body was first discovered by his
12-year-od doughter at o'clock yes

for him and found the remains hor-
ribly mangled a short distance above

off and one arm severed. Undertaken

and moved them to the morgue.
Coroner Roberts was notified and
went to Olyphant yesterday morning,

ding Today.

Court Crier and Mrs. Jacob B. Sny-
der will today celebrate the golden an
niversary of their wedding, with a
reception from three to eleven, at their
home, 1919 washburn street, to which
725 friends have been invited, includ
ing the local judges and attorneys and
the Judges of adjoining counties with
whom Mr.. Snyder has formed a close
acqraintapoeship during his twenty

so gracefully adorns.
The wedding which today's event

in those and the thrilling intermediary
events, his landfathers both having
served in the Continental army
throughout the whole conflict. His
father served III the War Of 1912. The

AN ENJOYABLE EXCURSION.
Nearly 700 Journeyed to the Parlor
City Yesterday.

The annual excursion for the benefit
of the Home for the Friendless was
run yesterday to Binghamton and
proved a great success. as have all past
excursions given for the benefit of this
most worthy institution.
The special train which consisted of
twelve coaches, left the city by the
Lackawanna road promptly at $50 a.
m, carrying between 600 and 700 eXcur-
sionists and Bauer's band. When the
"Parlor City" was reached the crowd
Immediately took cars for the various
points of interest in and around the
city.
Some journeyed to Ross park, chat
most charming resort with it's wild
natural beauty and others took cars
for the Casino at Union, about ten
miles outside the city. Bauer's band
gave a most excellent concert at the
park in the afternoon. The start home
was made at o'clock, but Scranton
was not reached until $50, owing TO a
slight delay at Nicholson caused by a
hot box.
The weather was fairly pleasant all
day, there being a few slight showers
in the afternoon.

IN SORE NEED OF MONEY.
Board of Associated Charities Is in
Hard Straits.

That the Board of Associated Char
tiles, which is doing such invaluable
work In this city, Is badly in need Of
money was evidenced at last nights
meeting when, upon the reading of the
treasurer's report, 1t was seen that
there was not enough cash on hand to
pay the agents salary for the month
of May, and had not Colonel Ripple, A.
B. Dunning and T. ]. Kelly, the only
three members present, come to the
rescue with liberal contributions, 1t
would not yet be paid.
1t is believed that canvass will
have to be made Immediately among
the charitably inclined people of the
city, If the work OF the organization is
to be continued.
1t was decided last night to warn the
public against several beggars now im-
posing upon the sympathies of a num-
Der of the citizens. One of these is a
girl about eleven years old, who goes
under the various names of Ogden.
Leonard and Dickson, and who tells a
beautiful collection of pitiful stories,
all of which are untrue. Another beg
gar is a woman who claims to be Sc
curing funds for another woman, who
lives beyond the Round Woods.
The young woman who has been de-
tected on several occasions soliciting
funds for the House of the Good Shep-
herd is again out on her rounds, and
people are warned not to give her any
thing No one is authorized to solicit
money for this institution except the
Sisters themselves.
Mrs. Duggan stated last night that
if. when persons are solicited for aims
and doubt the worthiness of the case,
they will call her up by phone, she
will be able in almost all instances, on
account of her intimate knowledge OF
the poor of the city, to give them def
mite information.
Mrs. Duggan's report for the period
between May 30 and June 19 was as
follows: Applications, 62; cases inves-
tigated, 80; found worthy and aided,
2S; not needy, II; employment found
for, s; medical aid found for, 3; trans
portation given, 2; sent to Lacka-

on the ground, and that he is obliged
to spend nearly the whole OF his time
there himself.
The greatest trouble has been expert
enced in having the bricks all laid per-
fectly level before the "grout" or
cement is placed between the inter-
stices. The company wanted to put in
the grout on a portion OF the pave last
week, but Mr.. Phillips would not al
low 1t then, nor has he yet.
This difficulty has been caused, he
states, by two things. First, unskilled
labor, the company being an asphalt
concern laying very few brick pave
ments; and, secondly, because the sand
used was not screened, the small stones
accordingly making an uneven surface
on which to lay the bricks. Mr.. Phil
lips insists that the pavement must be
in condition to allow fifteen-foot
straight edge to be placed on 1t before
he will allow the cement to be placed
in.
Another thing which Mr.. Phillips
states has been source of great an
noyance is the inferior quality of brick
used. He states that after the pave
had been laid and passed upon by the
company's foreman, he has been
obliged to order taken out, in some In
stances, as many as half the bricks
within a given area, these being in
most cases baked too much.
He has a man constantly on duty at
the concrete mixer to see that things
are done properly there. Mr.. Taylor,
the regular inspector, sees that the
concrete Is laid properly, and Mr.. Phil
lips himself, as stated above, looks
after the laying of the bricks. About
1900 feet of brick have been laid thus
far. and the work of grading the street
has extended almost as far as the cor

POST OFFICE BURGLARIZED.
Forest City the Scene of an Exciting
Early Morning Episode.

An attempt was made by burglars,
early yesterday morning, to loot the
Forest City postoffice. The safe was
blown open, but the intruders were
frightened away before they could
secure any plunder.
The burglars entered the postoffice,
which is located upon the main street,
between the hours of and 3 o'clock
in the morning, forcing a window to
make an entry. They then began oper-
ations on the safe, which they drilled
and charged with an explosive, which
they set off. They did not try to
deaden the sound in any way and the
result was a terrific explosion, which
aroused all the people In the neighbor-
hood.
The burglars, in alarm, left the
building and dashed down the street,
followed by a few bullets, fired by the
neighbors. They were five in number,
and all the plunder they secured con-
sisted of a package of postage stamps
and a few pennies from the money
drawer.
The matter has been reported to the
secret service bureau.
