DEATH OFT. MATTHEWS
Former Jury Commissioner Found at
His Sisters Home in Olyphant
with His Throat Cut.

Thomas j. Matthews. of Spring
Brook, former jury commissioner and
a man we'll known all over the county,
was found dead yesterday morning at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Catherine
Thomas. of Delaware street, Olyphant.
There was deep cash in his throat
from which his life blood had poured
before any of the family realized that
anything was wrong.
Mr.. Matthews was A. years old and
had been suffering for some time from
cancer of the stomach and nervous
dyspepsia. He went to visit his sister
about a month ago and expected to
move his family to Olyphant next
month. 1t is believed that his i'll
health was responsible for the de-
spordent condition in which he had
been for some time.
The deceased was staunch Repub-
lcan and served as jury commissioner
for one term. He was an unsucCess-
full candidate for recorder of deeds at
the Republican primary election held
in the summer of 1900. He served as
postmaster at Spring Brook until ill
health forced him TO give up the posi-
tion. He was everywhere recognized
as man of the very strictest integ-
rity and had a host of friends from
one end of the county to the other.
He is survived by a wife and five
children and a number of brothers and
sisters. The remains will he taken to
Spring Brook tomorrow morning, and
carriages will meet the $50 train AT
that place for persons desiring to at
tend the funeral, which will be held
Immediately following the arrival OF
! the remains.

PURE WATER.
Boiling or Cooking in Any Form De-
stroys Germ Life.

From Health
A pure water supply Is rightly looked
upon as one OF the greatest essentials
to the healthfulnoss of community.
Many foods. salads for example, cam
not be cooked or subjected to the eff
fects of n high temperature, while, on
the other hand, washing them in in
fected water may render them the
means of conveying disease. Among
the chief ways of preventing typhoid
fever must be mentioned the care of
the stomach itself. 1t seems highly
probable that the natural juices of the
healthy stomach are able to destroy
many germs of disease: but the
number which any stomach may be
able to digest must always be un-
certain, and it is not desirable to
test Is capacity in this direction. The
fact that only certain persons out of
a number who have partaken of food
or drink infected with disease germs
may suffer is eSplainable on the
ground of their different general phys
ical condition, or of the varying stages
of their digestive organs. Boiling or
cooking in any form destroys all germs
cooking in any form destroys all germ
| life; and food or drink about which
| tion should be subjected to one OF
| these processes before IL Is taken into
| theS tomaCh.

car and machine shops so as to secure
more yard room for handling the in.
creased business of the road.
The company is at present engaged

ment. The proposition of establishing

Master Car Builder L. 7. Canfeld,

placed an order with the American
Car and Foundry company at Berwick
for one thousand 0,000-capacity box
cars, and another order with the Erie
Car company, of Erie, Pa, for one
hundred of the same make of cars.
They are to be ready for delivery in
October and November, and will be
used in replacing many cars to be put
out of service, and also in handling
the increased freight business over the
LaCkawanna railroad.
These cars are to be built according
20 Mr.. Canfcld's order. and will be
equipped with continuous stccl-cyc-
byam 4Iaft rigging, to relieve the
strain on the body Of the car and
nut it on the draft where it properly
belongs. They will also have the Bar
bour patent roller-b bearing trucks,
which gives the same action as the
swing motion trucks without the use
Of hangers, which has been an objec-

Fire Being Quenched.

The latest plan, that of sinking air
holes from the surface, is proving
successful in cXtinGuishing the fire at
the old Jersey mine, Plymouth town
shop. The holes are being driven into
the abandoned and worked out cham
hers of the mine and by this means
the hot air escapes and allows the
water to pcrcolate freely through the
portions which are on fire.
The company has thus far succeeded
in cNtinSushing the fire in n great
portion of the affected area, and en-
tertlinS hopes Of qucnChing it alto

A Valuable Work.

An encyclopedia that comes out every
month is the latest novelty. 1t is a
publication which no man of affairs, no
one who would keep abreast of the
times, can do without.
1t is entitled The Current EncyClo-
pedia" and is published by The Modern
Research society, 1873 La Sale street,
Chicago. This society was organized
| by a corps of distinguished specialists
| for the purpose OF furnishing reliable
Information on current subjects. The
Encyclopedia is monthly record OF
human progress. 1t has as regular con-
tributors over fifty noted authorities
1t furnishes the latest information on
history, literature, science. education
| art, etc. Each issue is arranged al
| phabetiCally and has a complete index
] THE great advantage to the busy man
is obvious. He has the latest informa-
ton conveniently classified and in.
dexed for quick reference. The great
defect of costly encyclopedias is thai
they quickly get out of date on many
subjects. This work renewS its youth
month by month. The numbers are
beautifully printed and illustrated
