HAVOC OF THE FLOOD.
It's Effects Being Removed from
Carbondale's Streets by Force of
Men Under City Engineer Eupp.
A Herculean Task. I

The damage done to Carbondale's S
streets by the recent flood is being
expediently repaired by n force Hf men
under the direction of city lMgineer
Kupp
The task is herculean, but fhe city
engineer has properly sized fup the
situation and the men in charge of
street Foreman Kileen haS accom-
plshed wonders in a few days. All of
Seventh avenue and Eighth Avenue are
passable; both thoroughfaresi are safe
to drive over. The filling has not set
tied yet. which will make it somewhat
hard on the horses, but otherwise the
road is all right. Drivers tnn safely
use either avenue, even the MOST timid.
In a week or so, when alp the frost
leaves the ground. more filling will be
necessary in several places. rhe crown
ing of the bitches will also be done
then. This will leave these torn up
thoroughfares in first class condition.
The force is now at work on Park
street where the roadway Wps likewise
torn and uprooted, leaving pig fissures
like Il mine caNe-in. After This section
of the city is given the attention it
needs the city engineer will make visits
to other places where the havoc Of the
flood was less, but bad elpugh how
ever.
The city engineer has thiIty-iive men
and four teams at work. ! This item
will give an idea of what work has
been accomplished in thesels lstreets the
past week. The dirt that vas utilized
to fill the assures in the mtidle of the
road and in some places along the
sidewalk was the identical substance
that was washed out and carried down
the hills. Tons of it lodged at the foot
of Seventh and Eighth avenues, so all
that need be done was to ctrt ii back
again and dump it where it came
from originally.
The city engineer would have the
mud and ice that remain on Main
street removed ere this, buk the work
of repair on the streets mel{toned was
imperatiVely necessary, and no men
could be spared from the GAM.
The expeditions manner in jhich the
work of repair has progresset iuStiieS
anew the wisdom of the select Yon OF Mr..
! liupp for the Office of city engineer.

woMAN's AssAILANT JAILED,
The South Side Man Who Assaulted
Arabian Peddlers Committed.

John McDonough, of the Bush"
who was wanted for beating one of
two Arabian women venders, was ar
rested early yesterday morning by
Constable Neary, who got to the house
while his man was yet in bed. Later in
the day. McDonough was arraigned be-
fore Alderman Jones who committed
him to jail, in default of bail, on two
charges, assault and battery and lar
cenN, the taking of several dollars
worth of articles from the peddler's
pack.
a clearer story of the trouble was
gotten at the hearing. 1t appears that
the McDonoughs traded with the Arab
ian women and owed the latter dollar
and half when they called at the
house on Wednesday afternoon. The
Arabians say that the McDonoughs
paid a dollar on account, and then
went through their stock and selected
different articles valued at nearly sew
en- dollars. When the peddlers insisted
on payment then, McDonough they
said, became angered and grabbing one
of them by the throat, threw her down
and then kicked her in the side as she
lay PROSTATE ana helpless. The other
woman tried to get into the house,
after the pair were put out, to recover
the articles taken from the packs,
when Mrs. McDonough, she said, shut
the door against her. Her finger
caught and yesterday she showed
broken finger as the consequence of her
treatment.
McDonough denied everything that
the women said. There were numerous
of the neighbors. however, who wit
messed the fearful assault as it occurred
out in the yard.
The woman who was assaulted suf-
fered severly while in the alderman's
office. Her side panied her intensely.
She was urged to so to the Emergency
hospital for treatment, but heroically
took herself home.

THE CONCERT BY INNEs.
Greatest Musical Treat Known in
Carbondale in Several Years.

Innes and his superb band were in
Carbondale Yesterday. and With the
matinee concert they gave at the Grand
they provided the finest musical feast
which Carbondale has known for
years.
The nroprnnme was declared bafore-
hand TO be the most popular that he
could offer, as it was made up from
the two programmes that he usually
gives. However true this may be. it is
certain that no one would ask for a
more popular selection. 1t gave the
best of satisfaction. The audience
was thrown into ecstacies with the
harmony and mnIodv. and soul-stiuin~
music ana it's satisfaction was mani
tested i'm rapturous applause.
The descriptive FANTASIA of Rubin-
stein made the greatest hit of the
earlier numbers, ana from that time on
Innes made The pleasant discovery
that he had an audience behind him

BAND MEN IN RESTAURANT.
Innes' Musicians Empty Larder o.
Coddington G. Thompson.

There was an amusing incident in
connection with the visit of Innes'
band to this city yesterday. n few of
the musicians stopped at the two prin
cipal hotels, but as the stay in this
city was only from morning until the
5.06 Delaware and Hudson train, which
took them to Wilkes Barre where they
gave u concert last night, the great
majority of them sought the restau
rants of the town for their dinners.
The Imperial on North Main street,
was the favorte place. At II o'clock
they began to swarm in and kept COM
ing in such numbers that the restau-
rant larder, which was not prepared for
such an onslaught, began to peter out.
Sy / o'clock the regular dinner, served
daily, was at a premium. Those who
had been served We're of course salts
fed, but the dozen or more WHO We're
not the first to come, felt quite empty
when they heard that dinner would
not be served until the next day. This
was the least of their misfortune. They
had to Withstand the good-natured
iibes of their more fortunate brethren.
who poked any amount of fun at them
fo1, their tardness. '.tt
However, all's we'll that ends we'll.
The restaurant had good stock of
pies and sandwiches and an abund-
ance of coffee, and q goodly number of
these went under the tight fitting
coats of the musicians.

THE RIVER is RISING.
Thawing Snow Is Making the Lack,
awanna overstep It's Bounds.

The Lackawanna is rising again. The
thaw of the past week has added a
great volume of water to the river and
yesterday IL was at the highest mark
reached since the flood of two weeks
ago.
No damage has been done in Carbon
dale. as the river, while being exceed
ingly high, has not come to the danger
mark. South of the city, all the way
to Scranton the stream, swollen by
mountain creeks, has broken through
and is coming dangerously close to the
railroads, particularly the Ontario and
Western, at several points. The fact
that the bank of the river was broken
down and washed away by the recent
flooding, gives the water an unre-
strained course now.
The Fallbroot creek was a Sood-szed
river yesterday, but no~Tear is felt, as
the channel is wholly free of obstruc-
tionG.
There is n heap of snow on the noun
tains north of Carbondale. railroad men
say. and if there should be a return of
the thaw of the past few days, there
may be some flooding of cellars along
the rear of South Main street

Mr.. Robinson came to CarbSndale ten
or more years ago. He was q musician
in the band that was with Il circus
that gave performance in this city.
The show disbanded in Carbondale, and
Robinson, liking the town. as all
strangers are bound to. when they meet
with Carbondale hospitality, made it
his home. He joined the Mozart band,
when that organization WAS in its
glory. Thomas Kennedy and Frank
Rommelmeyer were two of the mem
bers with whom he played. He followed
no occupation, other than his music,
while here. In '93 Robinson went South,
where he remained until this season,
when he became a member of lnnes'
band.
Mr. Robinson was busy yesterday re-
neWing his acquaintanceships He spent
most of the day at his disposal with

There was another man with the

night, there will be ample train ac-
commodatons.

BOY KICKED BY MULE.
on Drivers Eye-Lad in the Hos
,,ito1

John Golden, driver boy in No. l
mine, met with Il most distressing ac-
cident which. it was feared at first,
would cost him the sight of one eye.
Golden drives a mule which is stub
born and obstinate. and when urged or
pushed is likely to become vicious.
Yesterday forenoon the mule showed
some stubbornness, but afterwards he
started for the opening. 1t is a habit
with the mule to stop just at the OPEN
ing. Golden followed after the animal,
expecting him to stop as usual. But
he did not stand. Instead, he let his
heels fly. catching the lad on the side
of the head.
Golden was knocked down by the
terrible force of the blow. When
reached by those near him, he was
stunned by the terrible force of the
kick. There was an ugly bruise on
his right eye, which made his helpers
fear that the organ had been forced
out. He was FASTENED to Emergency
hospital, and the eye surgeon of the
institution called to attend him.
IT WAS found that the eye was not
lacerated on broken. 1 was terribly
10 be present. This gave rise to the
hop" that the sight will be preserved.
If no inflammation sets in of which
there is no indication now, the eye
will be saved.
The boy is the son of John Golden,
of Sand street.

BASE BALL PROSPECTS.
Aid Expected from the Scranton
Railway Company-Series of Games
10y Looked for at Lake Lodore-Fans
Enthusiastic.

The spring-like weather of the past
week has aroused the yearnings of base
bali enthusiasts and the result is that
among the followers of the game there
is a keener interest and there is more
enthusiasm in discussing the prospects
of the sport in Carbondale this year.
one things seems to be strongly indi-
Gated That is that Carbondale will
have the cracker jack amateur team
of the valley. The fact that there is to
be u league team in Scranton will sort
of oversladow the interest among the
amateur teams, so it is likely that
there will be no junior teams in the
Electric City looking for honors and
purses. Carbondale will have an open
field, as it We're, and will not be obliged
to meet the painful necessity of knock
ing the conceit out of Scranton has
beens" and also ram" If however,
there is a possibility of a team in that
town becoming ambitious enough TO
tackle Carbondale, then the Crescents
will be Johnny on the spot
There is n town called Archibald
down the valley that piped something
a few weeks ago about having a team
that could or might play Carbondale.
These are the kind of snaps the man
agement of the CreSCentS is looking for,
so the sweeping challenge that is here
by made to any nine in LackaWanna
county or Susquehanna county OF
Wayne county is meant to particularly
include Archibald. The Crescents man.
agement is exceedingly eager to hear
from some club in any of the three
counties mentioned particularly for the
opening game Of the season. -.,
There IS considerable speculation us
to what support to base ball in Car
bondale will be given by the Scranton
Railway company this season, in the
event of the strike being settled. be-
fore the base ball weather arrives.
Nothing is expected nor will it be
looked for, while the strike remains
as there are too many sympathiZers of
the strikers among the players and
friends to admit of such Il hope. If,
however, there is II settlement of the
difficulties it would be safe to hazard
the opinion that the railway company
will be liberal in providing the team
with uniforms and other aid. What
might be regarded as assurances to
this effect We're received this week.
Another prospect that is being as
eagerly discussed is playing at Lake
I.odore this season. The Lake Lodore
Improvement company had the Cres-
