Deaths in Darlington Have Been
Peculiarly Sad.
Two Young Men About to Marry
and Two Brides Taken Away.
Maj Dargan's Funeral.
Special to The State.

CpeCldl 10 Inc State.
Darlington, Sept 2O-The fun
eral services of the late Mai Robt
l. Dargan took place at the Pres
byterian church this morning and
the interment was at Grove nill
cemetery, both being attended by
a large cOncourse of sorrOwing g
friends of the departed young
lawyer. The untimcly death of
MaJ Dargan is made doubly sad
by tho fact that death preceded
the appointed time for his mars
risge by just little less than "a
hours. A peculiar coincidence
was in the recent death of Mr..
John d Baird, who, had he lived,
would have been married in a
short time.
The death of Ma Dargan is the
seventh that has occurred among
the young people of Darlington
during the past month, all of them
being prominent IN matters re-
ligiOus and social. Within two
months two young brides and two
prospective bridegrooms have
been removed from earthly scenes
Mrs + 6 Lide and Mrs G. G.
johnson, neither of whom bad
been married two months at the
time of death: and the two Young
gentlemen above mentioned.
Other deaths among the young
people of the town this summer
have been: Mrs + & Woods. Mr..
Marion I Lide and Miss Daisy
Yelling, al peculiarly sad.

How and When to Sow Wheat.

Clemson College, Sept Is, 1900.
Mr.. Chas Petty, Spartanburg,
5 C-Dear Sir: Replying to your
favor of the 18th in regard to the
preparation of the land and sow
ing wheat in the Piedmont section
of this State, | submit the follow
ing suggestions:
(a Wheat delights in a com.
paratively stiff soil, or one con.
tanning enough clay to give it the
proper consistency. If this soil
is filled with small gravel the
drainage will he good. THIS is
very important to prevent freez-
ing out in winter.
The land should be ploughed,
narrowed and rolled until the sur
face is thoroughly puIverized be-
fore sowing the seed. Not one
acre in IL thousand is properly
prepared for wheat. If there is
a clay subsoiI it will pay to follow
in the turn plough furrow in
breaking with long bull tongue
to break the subsoil without turn
ing it up.
(b) Time for Seeding: The seed
should be sown just before or lust
after the first frost. If sown
early there is risk Of injury from
the attack of the HesSian fly in
the fall, and of destruction by
frost in spring if it JOINTS too
early.
If sown too late the risk of
winter killing is increased, and
riponing late increases the risk of
rust, smut and bleaching. Wheat
should ripen before excessive heat
prevails.
(c) Varieties: AS rule varie,
ties which have been acclimated
in tins section IN which they are
to be planted are more likely to
succeed than those grown under
entirely different soil and climatic
conditions. Varieties known as
Alabama, Red May, Georgia flint,
Blue stem or Purple straw. The

E. B. sTURGEs ON PORTO RICO.
Spoke Last Night in Green Ridge
Presbyterian Church.

L. b. Sturges led the regular prayer
meeting at the Green Ridge Presbyter-
ian church last evening and afterwards
spoke on missions generally, and mis-
sions in Porto Rico especially, from
the text found in Isaiah. Xxiv:15,
Wherefore, glorify we the Lord-in
the fires, even the name of the Lord
God of Israel, in the isles of the sea-"
and Isaiah, xl:10, Sing unto the Lord
a new song and His praise from the
end of the earth, ye that go IOyn
to the sea, and all that is therein:
the isles, and the inhabitants thereof"
He told of the general industrial par
alysis that followed the American in
vasion and then of the awful devasta-
ton caused by the great hurricane Of
last August. There have been many
changes for the better since the Ameri-
can occupation, thousands have been
fed, school houses have been erected,
but much remains vet to be done.
"This million of people are ours, to
elevate, to educate, to civilize and to
Christianize," said he, in conclusion.

COMPENSATION CEASED.
Controller to Receive No More School
Board Money-ordinance to
Restore Clerk Hire Item.

City Controller Howell's compensa-
tion from the school board ceased on
Monday when the supreme courts de-
cision affirming the constitutionality
OF the act of 1874 was handed down.
1t is not expected that the board will
allow him any further compensation.
When they did decide to pay him it
was because majority of the mem
bers believed that the school districts
accounts should be audited, and mas
much as Judge Archibald ruled that the
controller had nothing whatever to do
with school board warrants, the con-
troller was hired as a special auditor,
and not in his official capacity as con-
troller of the city's finances. Now
that the supreme court has decided
that he must countersign all warrants
it is not expected that the board will
allow him any further salary.
1t would be useless for him to refuse
to sign as he could be mandamused
and compelled to, or else be punished
for contempt of court.
The controllers clerk hire having
been vetoed by the mayor, the only
emoluments he now receives is his SAL
airy of $1,000 year. Mr.. Roche's
ordinance re-appropriating the clerk
hire comes up for first and second
reading tonight in select council, and
will undoubtedly pass. 1t may meet
with snag in common, however, where

STREETS ARE NOW
MUCH CLEANER
SYSTEM USED BY COMMITS
sIoNER THOMAS.
The Paved Streets Are Flushed at
Regular Intervals and the Block
System Of Cleaning Has Also Been
Adopted--A Certain Number of
Blocks Are Apportioned to Each
Cleaner-Result of the System Is
That the Paved Streets Are Kept
Comparatively Clean.

Street Commissioner Roland Thomas
has now got his system of cleaning the
city's paved streets in complete work
ing order, and the neat appearance OF
the asphalt pave during the past week
or so has been favorably commented
upon by many who a few weeks ago
could not find adjectives strong enough
to qualify their opinions on the then
dirty condition of the streets.
The streets are now cleaned by both
flushing and by the hand brush. There
are two street flushing gangs who are
busy each and every night in the week.
The streets in the central city and
on the "hill'' district are flushed at
least four and sometimes five times
a week. The Green Ridge pavements
and Washington avenue from the Erie
and Wyoming station out to Marion
street are flushed three times a week
and the West Scranton paved streets,
both asphalt and Belgian block, also
get a dose of water three times a
week.
On the morning of a day on which
the streets are to be flushed in the
central city and West Scranton, a gang
of men is sent out to thoroughly sweep
OH all the neaNy art. Inc IneHlDeIS
of this gang are then separated and
each man is given a certain number
of blocks to sweep Of. This is gener-
ally from four to six on the quiet
streets. and three on the busy thor
oughfares, such as Lacka&anna and
Wyoming avenues. At night the flush
ing gang fiushes the streets, the water
taking off all the fine dirt which the
brushes can not get up.
The day after the streets are flushed
the men who were assigned to certain
sections OF streets the day before take
care Of these during the entire day
and are held solely responsible for
their condition to the foreman. There
are now about thirty-five men regular
ly employed as street sweepers and
ten for the two flushing gangs.
Mr.. Thomas has also arranged to
have the wagons used for collecting
the dirt make several trips a day, SC
that the little heaps are gathered ur
before they have been scattered OF
tracked across the street again.

MOTHER WANTS HER CHILD.
Mr. and Mrs. c. S. Lowery at Law
Over Their Daughter.

The following petition was yester-
day presented to Judge Archibald by
Attorneys Vosburg & Dawson:
To the Honorable, the Judges Of the Court Of
Common Pleas:
The petition Of Nettie Lowery respectfully
showeth: That Charles s. Lowery is her hus'
band, and that Lucy Lowery, now ten years
of age is their child; that said Lucy Lowery
is restrained her liberty by said Charles s. Low
cry, Of the city of Scranton, and that she is not
detained for any criminal or supposed criminal
matter; that the said Charles S. Lowery, after
abusing the petitioner by using vile and oppro.
brous language to her, by assauting her, by
locking her out OF the house and denying her
admittance thereto, and by many other violent
and unlawful acts TO ner done, drove her away
from their home; that at that time the said
Charles S. Lowery took the said Lucy Lowery
away from your petitioner and has since kept
her confined and secluded in some place unknown
to your petitioner; that she verify believes that
the said Lucy Lowery is secrcted somewhere in
this city; that your petitioner has been unable
TO see her child since the 1lth day Of April,
1900; that the said Charles S. Lowery is a man
of dissolute habits and is in many ways an
improper person to have custody Of said child.
Your petitioner therefore prays your honorable
body to grant a writ of habeas corpus, agrccably
to the act of assembly, in such made and
provided, TO bring up the body of the said Lucy
Lowery. And snc will ever pray, etc.
Ncttie Lowcry.
The writ was granted as prayed for
and made returnable Monday after
noon next at 1.30 o'clock. The hearing
will take place in Judge Archbald's
chambers.

DEWEY'S SCRAP BOOK.
Handsome Gift of Two Wilkes
Barre BOYS to the Admiral.

Admiral Dewey will soon have what
will be, no doubt, one of the most
cherished gifts that have come to him
since his return to this country. Two
patriotic youngsters of Wilkes-Barre
are the donors and the scrap book
for that is what the gift is-was made,
excepting the binding. of course, en-
tirely by them. These boys-J. Mae
Haines, aged -. and Tom Whitman
Haines, jr, two years younger-are
sons Of one of Wilkes -Rarre's leading
men. When news came of the sink
ing of the Spanish fleet in Manila bay
they, like lots of other boys, became
ardent supporters of the admiral.
They read everything they could find
about him and began saving clippings
from newspapers, periodicals and mag
azines. Finally the idea of this book
came to them.
They began it in a modest way, but
it soon developed into something
greater, and as finally finished is mag
nificent indeed. The book is of the
finest paper, beautifully bound in

Sleping on the Train.

Even experienced travellers admit
that they do not sleep as well in a train
as at home. while inexperienced trav-
elers seldom sleep at all-except when
they travel on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railway. The road
bed of this line is so perfect that Jolt
ing and swaying is reduced to a mini
mum. In addition the cars are airy
and comfortable and an even tempera
ture is maintained. When you travel
between Buffalo and western cities, the
Lake Shore is certainly the most pleas
ant road.

A body was found on an island in
