DEATH OF MRS. SOLOMON.
Esteemed Jermyn Woman Succumbs
After Operation.

Mrs. Solomon, relict of the late John
Solomon. Of Jermyn, died in DR..
Wheeler's hospital last evening about 6
o'clock.
Mrs. Solomon was hurredly taken to
the hospital on Saturday afternoon to
be operated on for general Appendix
citis. She was taken sick on Wednes-
day and her condition became desper-
ate so rapidly that the only chance for
her life lay in operating. The opera
tion was undertaken late Saturday af-
teernoon, but the disease had sapped
so much of her vitality that she made
no rally. She sank until death came,
shortly after o'clock last evening.
Mrs. Solomon's death will affect
wide circle of friends in Carbondale,
her former home, and in Jermyn, where
she was held in affectionate regard.
The suddenness of her demise accen-
tuates the grief of her taking away.
Mrs. Solomon lived in Carbondale for
a long time, where her husband was in
the saloon business. He moved to Jer-
myn, where he kept the ST. George
hotel. She was related to Robert Max
well, Of this city, and to the Wegand
family.

A FEARFUL STORM.
Passes Over This City, but Floods
Waymart-Holds UP D. and II.
Train for Several Minutes.

Carbondale just escaped a wild sum-
mer storm last night. 1t blew over the
city and broke crossing the Mooscs,
flooding the country east of us, almost
deluging Waymart, at the foot of the
mountain.
About $50, the skies darkened, and
great banks of black clouds began to
roll up. Residents who were on
porches, after the evening meal, with
drew to the inside to avoid the threat
ened deluge. The wind veered, how
ever, to the east and carried the storm
until the rain-filled clouds were over
the summit of the Moosics on the
heights of Farview. Here they broke,
and swept down the mountain side,
carried by the hurricane force of the
wind over the fertile plain that sweeps
this country to Honesdale.
At Waymart, it was a cloud-burst
that deluged the village with rain
such as was hardly ever seen there be-
fore. The Delaware and Hudson pas
senger train from Honesdale pulled into
the station in the midst of the down.
pour. A small boy was the first Of the
passengers to alight. When he stepped
onto the platform and darted for the
inviting open door of the station, he
was caught by the rain that poured off
the car roof just life waterfall and
was knocked to the ground. Brakeman
William Cliff rushed to his aid and
carried the youngster back to safety on
the car. In doing so, Cliff was soaked
to the skin, though it was only an in
stant's work. The downpour was so
heavy that no passengers could leave
the train for nearly ten minutes.
Sharp flashes of lightning Illuminated
the darkened scene and hail-not as
big as hens eggs, but larger than
marbles-beat a merry tattoo and
cracked numerous window-panes. Gar
dens were flooded and torn up and
considerable damage was visited on the
crops. 1t was one of the worst storms
that ever came down the Moosics.

JOE CooPER'S STATEMENT.
Disavows Connection with Movement
to Change Strikers.


For a couple of weeks it has been
freely passed about that the Delaware
and Hudson company has had agents
them on various preteXts to desert and
return to work, which was at their
command.
In connection with these rumors, the
identity of the so-called agents was
fixed, which gave more force to the
stories. One whose name was freely
passed was Joe Cooper. of the West
Side former special policeman and
regarded somewhat as leader among
a certain Italian element OF the towns
foreign population. 1t was talked Of
among the miners, without much quail
flying, that Joe was an earnest worker
among the Italians and was getting
them in line to return to work before
the strike would be declared off.
Mr.. Cooper, however, comes out with
vehement denial and requests The
Tribune to state that he has had no
connection or identity with any move
ment to induce any of his countrymen
to return to work
II could get work the first day after
the strike went on" says Mr.. Cooper.
but would not go. don't belong to
this miners union. but / am not going
back TO work until the others go, and
am not going to try to coax any one
else"
Why Cooper's name was connected
with the alleged strlke-breaking move
ment can probably be explained by his
having been among the Italians of the
town for the past few weeks with ref
erence to their naturalization papers
He has been getting over a score of
them ready to hle their papers. and
