DEATH WITHOUT
WARNING

William r. Evans, well-knOwn
resident of the First Ward, dropped
dead in his home Friday evening.
The deceased, who with William B.
Confer, occupied double house on
Water street, nearly opposite the Silk
Mill, was spending the evening alone,
his wife and niece having gone to the
Mahoning Presbyterian church to at
half-past seven o'clock Mrs. Confer
heard a noise on the other side of the
house as if caused by a person falling.
Knowing that Mr.. Evans was alone
she became solicitous and communi-
Gated her fears to her son, Henry Con-
fer, who proceeded to investigate to
see if anything had happened to the
man. Accompanied by Charles Rosen-
Grams, Harry and Harvey Shaffer, who
just then arrived, he went around to
the rear of Mr.. Evan S house and en-
tered
On the floor of the family sitting
room beside the rocking chair, from
which he had fallen. with his head
under the table lay the body Of Mr.
Evans. His heart had ceased to beat
and the last spark of life beyond all
doubt had fed
The sad news was carried to the
Mahoning Presbyterian church and
gently broken to the bereaved wife.
Dr. E. A. Curry i'll response to call
visited the house and examined the
body. Death had resulted from heart
failure and in the physicians opinion
an inquest was not necessary.
The deceased during Friday was
very nearly in his usual health; such
thing as death was never dreamed of
and his sudden taking off proved a
great shock to his family.
The deceased was blacksmith of
some 50 years, employed at the Struc
tural Tubing Works. He was Il man of
intensely religious nature, a member
of the Y. NJ. G. A. and an active
church worker. Some years ago he
met with railroad accident, as the
result of which he lost one of his limbs.
He, however. got along very we'll on
wooden leg, and his earning capacity
was little if any diminished by the ac-
cident
In addition to his wife he is surviv-
ed by son. Thomas, and three daught-
ers, Mrs. Henry Prentiss, of this city,
Rebecca and Mrs. Robert Reese. of
Williamsport.

MRS. GREINER'S
BAD FALL

Mrs. Caroline Greiner, of Mausdale,

a steep winding stairway which was
protected at the top with guard rail
some two and a half feet high.
The supposition is that the woman
became i'll. At all events she left her
bed and fell over the railing down to
the bottom of the stairs at the deepest
point. She was badly stunned by the
fall and terribly bruised in every part
of the body, although no bones were
broken. The effects of the shock,

First Snow Fall of the Season,

Sunday afternoon brought the
first snow fall of the season. 1t was
clear during the day until about 3
O'Clock in the afternoon when it began
to grow cloudy with the appearance
of snow. Shortly after 4 O'Clock the
flakes began to fall and half an hour
later the sidewalks, roofs and the en-
tire landscape was white.
II continued to snow for several
hours, but the snow was very heavy
and wet. 1t clung to the branches of
the trees in a heavy coat, dressing
them i'll foliage of spotless white,
which III the bright electric light
gave the streets at many places the
appearance Of fairy land.
The melting snow at places
made the sidewalks wet and sloppy and
walking was unpleasant

As a result of the big coal strike
owing to the great difficulty in pro-
curing coal the Sunbury school dis
trict is forced to extend this Christmas
vacation. The committee instructed
to secure coal for the different schools
placed their order some time ago, cx-

ceived a telegram Monday that there
were nine hundred orders ahead of the
Sunbury order and that it would be-
impossible to ship the fuel until the
previous orders were filed. When
this fact was made known to the mem

meeting Monday evening, the holiday
vacation was extended from Friday,

game of foot ball between the Dan
Vile and Milton elevens at Dewitt 5
Park on Thanksgiving afternoon. Al
though very much outweighed the De-
tenders succeeded in keeping their
opponents from scoring, but were un-
successful in making any points them

In the first half the Defenders were
eithrce tines within one yard of tn
coveted goal but each time they were
forced back for a loss of ground and
the ball Not so with Milton, they
could not get the ball near their goal
line and by the superior work of the
Defenders they were forced to play
on the defensive during the whole of
the game.
The Milton players were heavier to
a man, by at least fifteen pounds, but
were lacking in team work and fun
bled badly The Defenders played a
remarkably good game, both on the
offensive and defensive and had they
been a little heavier they would sure

was they deserve much credit for the

SCRANTON, Dec. 2-Thcra vas
never before such activity at the an
thraCite coal mines rs there is today
For two or three weeks after the re-
sumption the normal output could not
be reached. The workmcn were unfit
ted for arduous labor after more than
five months of idleness. The mules
were soft, the wooden tramways in
the mine were rotten, the machinery
was rusty and in some places out o.
repair, the mines ran short handed.
But all these difficulties are over now
The companies are face to face with a
ravenous market, demanding a good
deal more than they can supply; the
miners are ambitious to make up in
some measure what they lost during
the strike. They feel assured too, that
the commission will grant them an in
crease in wages and that it will not
be less and may be more than was Off
cred by the corporations when they
meditated a settlement outside of the
commission. So things are being rush
ed to the full capacity everywhere.

A BAD State
OF AFFAIRS

Conditions would seem to be favor

several parts of our town unless peo-
pie be more on the alert to detect the
disease and exercise greater precau-

borhOod.
In one of these families the child

members of the family as was natural
coming and going at pleasure, while

called in when he discovered that in.
| stead of mumps there were two well
defined cases of diphtheria, one Of the
patients being babe in the cradle.

other house where the child was being
treated for ordinary sore throat and
had been sick for several days. Thi:
case proved to be one of malignant
