manifested in the increased efficiency
of the choir and has won him so many
compliments from among the congrega-
| tion and visitors at the church services,
comes from not only a musical family,
but from Il race, the Cambrians, whose
home in Wales Is Il nation of song.
Several years back, when a lad, his
voice was heard in the national musical
festival of his forefather's home the
eistedfodd, winning prizes which would
be incentive to any one of his ability.
His musical talent was not in one direc-
tion alone. With study and practice he
became proficient in piano forte and
organ playing and now fills the double
position of chorister and organist
Scarcely an eistedfodd has taken place
hereabouts in recent years without Mr..
Jones being conspicuous as an accom-
panist. How he was recognized in
Scranton, among so many older musi-
clans, and of larger study and eXper-
ience, can be appreciated by mention
ing that he was assistant organist and
chorster at st. Luke's church, under
Prof. J, W. Conant. Later he was
chosen as chorister and organist and
chorister at st. Marks church, Dun
more, and when Charles Doersam, also
of Scranton, resigned from Trinity,
about year ago, to take a conserya-
tory course, Mr., Jones came to Carbon
dale, where he has been given addition
al opportunities for the exercise of his
powers. The programmes which he has
prepared and directed during his brief
time in Carbondale have found the
greatest favor with the congregation,
while the choir has shown a response
that is a matter of complimentary
comment among those who observe
with pride the growing influence of the
music in the church work.

new COAL BREAKER
FOR CARBONDALE

Pittston Men to Erect Colliery at
Estimated Cost of $75, 900 on Tract
Bought from Squire Williams at
No. 4-Breaker to Be Erected
Within Year.
The rumOrs of the past two months
relative to the erection of n new break
er in this city. have at last taken tan
gble form. by the execution of q con-
tract for said work. The new breaker
will be located northeast of this city,
at or near what is known as Whites
Crossing, along the line of the Della
ware and Hudson Coal company's
Honesdale branch. The breaker. when
completed. will cost, according to the
contract for same. something in the
neighborhood Of $4,000, and must be
capable of producing 1000 tons of pre-
pared coal daily.
1t is Il fact we'll known to many here
abouts that the tract of land in question
has, at least. two very good veins Of
coal, which can be worked at moder-
ate cost. The tract would doubtless
have been opened years ago but that
none of the offers We're large enough to
tempt the owners to part with it, Mr..
Williams, Justice of the peace. has at
last received very tlattering offer from
Messrs. p. J. Manley and Peter McEl-
eney of PittstOn, as principals, which
he has accepted. Work to commence
Immediately. Mr.. McEleney is very
we'll known to many in Lackawanna
valley as an expert miner. having for
years been mine foreman for the Hill
side Coal and Iron company at the Erie
breaker at Mayfield, Pa.
The mines in and near this city are
already over-crowded, and the opening
of new mine, of this size, will prove
a blessing to Those who are over
crowded in this line of work, especially
in the northern part of this city.
The Delaware and Hudson Coal COM
pany's new breaker to be built on the
South Side is being hurried as much as
possible, and the coming summer will
see it completed. The working of this
breaker will, in a great measure. relieve
the new coal breaker on the North Side,
and allow the miners of the North Side
to make much better time.

TWO YOUNG MUSICIANS
OF GROWING WORTH

Carbondale has always had reason to
feel pUud of it's musical talent. The
inclination and interest of our people
in this art have been happily demon
strated time and time again. The big
musical events in Scranton, in which
this country's artists and those from
abroad have participated, always at
tracted "a patronage from this city,
which was more than ordinarily credit
able to u town of this size. Then we
have had a musical organization in this
city for years which has enjoyed an ex-
ceptionally high reputation abroad as
well as at home. This Is the Mozart
band and orchestra, and now we have
a symphony orchestra which IL sure to
develop latent musical talent and win
increased prestige and laurels for this
city
Reference to the Mozart orchestra

FUNERAL SERVICES
OVER J.P. A. TINGLEY
The Solemn Service Of the Dead at
Trinity Episcopal Church-Rev. R.
A. Sawyer Observes Impressive
Ritual-Surpliced Choir Assists.
Deceased to Be Taken to Foster for
Burial Today.

Sadly impressive obsequies marked
The funeral yesterday afternoon of the
late j. P. A. Tingley, the pharmac cist,
whose sudden summons to depart this
life has been topic of keenest regret
throughout the city the past few days.
The last part of his journey to the
grave was followed amid all the tokens
of respect due him as an upright citi-
zen, an honest man in his business re-
lations, an esteemed member of the
Masonic lodge and a faithful member
of Trinity Episcopal church. The evil
dences of his high standing among his
different associates in life We're of a
character to be comforting and edify-
ing to the dear ones who will miss him
most.
The procession which left the resi-
dence on Washington street shortly be-
fore o'clock for Trinity church, was
headed by uniformed escort of honor
from Palestine commandery, knights
of Templar, of this city, in which the
deceased had been an active member,
and past eminent commander. Con-
spicuous in the procession We're numer-
Gus business men, the druggists of the
town and physicians from Carbonate
ciated with the deceased.
AT Trinity church, the solemn office
of the dead was recited. Rev. r. A.
Sawyer, the pastor, officiated. George
C. Hart was the lay reader. The sur
pliced choir sang the psalms with a
feeling that added to the sad impress
siveness of the service. The choir
sang Lead Kindly Light" as the an
ha
er. My God to Thee" In accordance
with the custom of the church, there
was no eulogy, Mr.. Tingley, however
required no eulogy; his life was filed
with kind deeds that will be a lasting
character.
The deceased remained in the church
over last night. and will be taken this
forenoon. via the 11.21 Delaware and
Hudson train to Scranton; thence by
the LOS p. IN. Lackawanna train to
Foster, where interment will take place.
The pallbearers yesterday were from
the vestrymen of Trinity and were as

A DINE DEPOSIT BANK f..
FOR CARBONDALE
Business Men of This City Organize
and Subscribe Stock to the
Amount of $1OO,Ooo--James Ruth
erford Temporary Chairman-Char-
ter to Be Applied for After the
Holidays-The Project a Success.

A new bank in this city is in pro-
cess. Business men yesterday made a
canvass of the merchants of the town,
explained the project and met with
such an enthusiastic reception that by
noon $4,000 Of the proposed 100000
stock were subscribed for. Within
twenty-four hours, the remaining half
of the stock will have been subscribed
for. This was stated positively to the
Tribune last night by those most ac-
tive in the latest financial move which
has caused quite a furry Of excite
ment in the financial and commercial
life of the city.
The name of the new banking insti-
tuition will be the Dime Deposit and
Discount Company. This feature OF
bank savings has met with unexpected
success throughout the country and 1t
is believed there is II good field here.
The idea of doing a trust business was
also considered. but has not been de-
cided upon. There is a legal considera-
3 ton that will have to be inquired into
before 1t can be determined whether
the trust company can be incorporated
with the dime savings institution.
While there is temporary organiza-
tion, no steps to make 1t permanent
can be taken until after the rush nr
the holidays, as almost all of the sub
scribers are business men. The appli-
cation for the charter will then be
made, but it will be a couple of months
before the bank will be ready for busi-
ness.
The stock has been apportioned In
shares Of $50 each. making two thou
sand shares. Large blocks of stock
could have been sold to individuals,
but this was discouraged rather than
encouraged, as it was the purpose to
divide the interests among as many as
possible. ne-tenths. it is claimed, of
the business men not Interested in
either of the two banks in Carbondale
have subscribed for stock in the new
concern.
The Tribune can stare authortatively
that no Scranton men are interested in
the project. 1t will be a strictly Car
bondale institution; no stock will go
to outsiders. There was u story that
Casey Bros, of Scranton. We're to have
something to do with the proposed
bank. This is not true. however. Their
name was associated with the project
in the beginning, but they have no
connection with the organiza ton. AS
mentioned. the stock has all been ap.
piled for by Carbondalians.
This rumor of Scranton interests
gave rise to the belief that there We're
to be two banks. This is not even like
'ly since the third bank is now an es-
tablshed certainty. Any outsiders
contemplating another concern would
find the money interests of the city
fully represented in the two banks
already here and the one in process.
The new bank project is an indica-
tion that Carbondale is going forward
with steady strides. and is a splendid
advertisement for the town among our
sneighbors.

TO TEE PREACHERS OF THE
NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
a Letter in Behalf of Thanksg giving Day Ser.
vices for the Methodist Orphanage Of
the State

The North Carolina Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South will
hold its annual session in Grace church.
in Wilmington, beginning Wednesday,
December 3rd, and concluding the first OF
the week following.
The conference is one of the largest
bodies in North Carolina and usually III
attendance from 800 to 400 ministers and
delegates from the different churches in
the bounds of the conference.
Bishop A. Coke Smith, who, UP to
last year, was in the Virginia Confer
ence, but who was elected bishop by the
General Conference in Galveston last
summer, will preside.
The usual time of holding the confer
ence was changed by Bishop Smith, and
for very wise purpose. In order 10
call attention to this Rev. J. B. Hurley,
representing the Methodist Orphanage or
the State, has issued the following letter
to the preachers of the North Carolina
Conference. He says:
Dear Brethren:-Doubtless you all
know that Bishop Smith sometime since,
changed the time of holding the North
Carolina Conference. He did this for the
reason that the time first appointed
would have embraced Thanksgiving day
and taken all the preachers from their
charges at that time AS soon as the
Bishop learned this, he Immediately
changed the time in order that the
preachers might remain with their peo-
pie and hold Thanksgiving services and
take collections for the benefit of the or
phanage. This was indeed kind as we'll
as thoughtful in our good Bishop. Now
let all the preachers as we'll as people
see to 1T that Thanksgiving. services be
held, not only in every charge, but every
church. and the important claims of the
orphanage presented and collections taken
for that purpose The money is greatly
needed, not only for current expenses
but building purposes as well
The main building that is to cost rs
over $4,000 is in rapid progress of cree
ton and we shall need all the funds w.
can command No more important in
terest of the church can possibly engage
us at this time. not even missions or
education, however important they NAV
be. Surely if Bishop Smith should be in
terested enough in our orphanage work
10 change the time of holding the confer
ence that Thanksgiving day might be
used for its benefit, surely we should be
interested enough to make the most oil
that glad day for the advancement of its
interest"
