Young Cornelius Vanderbilt has
patented a number of inventions that
may revolutionize railway rolling
stock construction and, incidentally,
bring him in a larger fortune than
his father left him. It would seem
that this youth. who had heart enough
TO risk being disinherited in order to
marry the girl of his choice. has a
well-developed brain in the bargain.

Operated Upon.

Miss May Fitzpatrick, daughter of
Mayor and Mrs. John w. Fitzpatrick,
has been in poor health for some time.
She experienced severe pains in the
side, and on examination the surgeons
decided that she was suffering from an
attack of appendicitis and advised an
operation. Miss Fitzpatrick and her
parents disliked to have an operation,
however, and the patient was given
medical treatment. She continued TO
grow worse, however, and at last it
was seen that an operation was inevit-
able and as a result one was performed
Wednesday afternoon by Doctors Glib
bons, of Scranton and several assist
ants. The operation was performed in
the Scranton Private hospital and was
entirely successful. Word received
from there last night stated that she
is resting very easily.

Silk Millers Meet.

The silk mill union, composed OF the
klots silk Throwing company's en-
ployes. who are now on strike met last
night in McTighes hall. on South Main
street, and, with the United Mine
Workers committee appointed TO assist
them, formulated plans for a continu
ance of the strike. They are more
confident of victory now than they
have been at any time previous and
claim that the Messrs. Klots must
meet their demands very shortly or
close the mill, as the number of work
ers decrease each succeeding day. The
strikers claim that only thirty-one en-
ployes left the mill at the closing time
last night. The assistance rendered by
the mine workers committee has
proven very effective and gave the
strike a great impetus, and, as still
stronger influence will be brought to
bear to get out the hands now work.
Ing, immediate victory ia looked for.

takes the tangled skeins and knotted
threads of the lives of his friends and
weaves them into a cloak OF happiness.
The story of the play tells of the drift
ing apart of the two lovers, and 1t is
surprising the number Of clever COM
pllcatlons the author has hung on this
slender thread. AS Father Whalen,
Daniel Sully is given one of the best
character creations OF recent years.
His humor Is of the quaint, honest
sort, and his sentiment delightful in
it's naturalness. The play is pictur-
esquely staged and beautiful in its sim
plicity.

An alarm of fire was turned in last
night at $50 o'clock from Box 40.
When the firemen reached there the
fire was seen to he at the corner or
Tenth avenue. near South Main street.
The barn of Bother Thomas NJ. Nea-
lon was totally destroyed, with two
horses. big double sleigh, harness
ana other contents.
Mr.. Nealon went out to the barn
about quarter to o'clock, to prepare
the bedding for his horses. With him
l,c carried little hand lantern. with
a tin hoop handle. He hung his Ian
tern OH u wooden peg on the side OF
tha barn wall. as. lie has done every
night for twenty years. Then he pulle1
down some hay. Turning around at
some noise he saw that the lantern
h"l fallen and that a large blaze was
alr, ady reaching hungrily out for the
walls
NJ. Nealon Immediately rushed back
to the house and shouted that the barn
was on fire and told some one to ring
an alarm. His son Thomas ran out
and did so. When the fire companies
got there they found that the barn was
doomed. and they first turned their
hose on the front of Mr.. Nealon's
grocery store, diagonally opposite
After that had been thoroughly wet,
or frozen, for sheets OF ice followed the
trclilng water in the keen air. they
quenched the flames in the barn.
There was no hope of saving the
horses. although two or three attempts
, were made, but the would-be rescuers
were driven back by the flames. over
head electric wires were stretched in
the seethng furnace and shouts OF
warning were uttered as one of them
melted and fell. II struck the Column
ba wagon, but was yanked out Of tn ,
way by some man with gloves on and
broken off short.
A very exciting incident was a race
down South Main street between the
hose wagons of the Mitchells and CO.
lumbias. The Columbias were slightly
ahead as the teams passed the Anthra-
cite building, but the Mitchells over
hauled them halfway down the block,
and then a nip and tuck race ensued,
with honors even, until at the corner
of Eighth avenue the black team of
the Mitchells made a great squirt and
landed in front by a series Of jumps
and took the hill at a tearing gall7p
beating their gray rivals to the scene.
The barn was an old one, but large.
The burned horses comprised an CID
and a young one. A load OF hay was
