returns today to Guadalajara, Mexico,
after spending the holidays with his
family in this city. Mr.. Blewitt is the
general manager of a company which

are O'Boyle & Foy, of Pittston. The
contract price is s3,OO0,0O0
The work is well towards completion
When it is completed Mr.. Blewitt will
have the distinction, very likely Of
having laid more sewers than any 9TH
er engineer living or dead Before 60
ing to Mexico he directed the laying
of 40 miles of sewer, Il good part of it
in this city.
Guadalajara is Il state capital in
Mexico, with a population of fifty-sev-
EN- more than Scranton. The state has
advanced funds for its improvement
and when the contemplated improve
ments are completed it will be a close
approach to q model city. Every house
is to be connected with the sewer, and
every householder pays a monthly fee
for the privilege. 1t averages about
so cents.
The city has 81 Catholic churches
and in front of every church is a city
park. IL and about the Cathedral is
the main city park, one of the most
beautiful. according to Mr.. Blewitt to
be found anywhere in the world.
There is never any extremely not
weather and of course no cold wealth
er, Mr.. Blewitt says, and being on
the plateau is not subject to the few
ers that affect some of the lower dis
tricts. Mr.. Blewitt is very enthusiasts
tic over this part of Mexico and de-
clares unreservedly that any young
American oc brains and energy can do
we'll in that country.
incidentally it might be mentioned
that Mr.. Blewitt is a member of a
mining company which made a big
strike in the gold and copper regions
of Mexico.

ALBERT RUFFER FOLLOWED
HIS LOVED ONE TO GRAVE

Albert Ruffer, who was employed up
to December as AN orderly at the
Moses Taylor hospital, died in New
York city on Sunday from what his
friends in this city believe to have been
broken heart. The scientific man
will probably say that his death was
the result of nerve strain brought on
by n sudden grief
Ruffer was Swiss and had been
employed at the hospital for three
years as AN orderly He was deeply
in love with Miss Annie Wagner, a
handsome girl residing on Taylor ave-
nue. and when she was taken suddenly
Ill about month ago he began to be-
come Respondent. He spent all his
spare time at her bedside and lavished
every luxury that his purse allowed
upop her.
she became gradually worse after
Christmas and Ruffer spent several
entire nights at her bedside, hoping
against hope. She finally died on sun
day, December 30, and when her body
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-01-09

was laid in the grave two days after
all of the young Swiss hopes, am
billions and day dreams seemed to have
been buried with it. He asked for a
weeks leave of absence saying that
the strain was killing him and that
IL his mind was not diverted he would
either so insane or die.
on Friday last he went TO Alderman
kasson's office and made his will leav-
ing $4,000 worth of real estate in
Switzerland to the relatives living in
that country, He then went to New
York city and the first news of him
heard was a telegram received by
Chief Clerk G. u. Tobey, of the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany's coal department announcing
that he had been found dead in the
American hotel on Fourth avenue.
Further adyices received from New
York would tend to show that he did
not commit suicide but rather died as
the result of the nervous strain
brought about by his worriment.

Sir: It should be source of ex-
treme qualification to the public Of

recitals. was notable event and will
not soon be forgotten. The concerto
in Il fiat, by Liszt, which Mr.. HICKMAN
will play next Monday evening, with
accompaniment of full orchestra, is
one of the most brilliant works of the
kind ever written, and the performance
of this work alone will be worth the
price of admission. The orchestral
numbers will include several of the
most celebrated compositions for or
chestra.
The Young Women's Christian asso-
citation should not be obliged to beg
the public to attend simply for char
ityis sake. it will be a great concert

appreciation can afford to miss it.
The great new armory should be lit
orally packed. thereby insuring an
evening of rare enjoyment, Il fitting
welcome to the splendid orchestra and,
incidentally, a generous bank account

ing for the success of the concert
