BIG ICE CROP.
Houses at Lake Lodore and Nearby
Ponds Are Being Filled.

How would you like to be the ice

since it's origin than this year The
reason is that the festive ice man, the
man who owns the chunks of frozen
liquid, is to be envied Though it's the
winter of the year. yet it brings to
him the summer of his content. This
year has been Il remarkably good one
for the ice man. The almost unbroken
freezing weather has made it possible,
even necessary for him to say nothing
but cut ice The biggest crop that
has been yielded in years is now being
harvested at the ponds hereabouts and
the man who cuts so much ice smiles
as he packs his houses and thinks of
the boiling days of increasing tenn
perature" that the Scranton weather
man furnishes during the summer. The
quality of ice, too, is the best and it is
an interesting sight to watch the
cakes of crystal as they are cut and
hosted into the houses.
Ice is being harvested on nearly all
of the ponds hereabouts. but the most
important place is at Lake Lodore and
Keene'S lake of the Lake Lodore COM
pany. Here a big force of men and
machinery have been at work cutting
ice for several weeks until now the
mammoth ice houses are filed. Over
thirty-five thousand tons of ice have
been stored in these ice houses and
over 300 car loads besides. have been
shipped to different points throughout
the state. This aggregate of these
shipments and the thousands of tons
in the ice houses, is something that

BRISK DEMAND FOR SEATS.
Probabilities That Elias Day Will

The Indications are that Elias Day,

tomorrow evening in the Smith-Sing-
er entertainment course.
The sale of seats opened last night
when there was as brisk II demand as
at the opening of the diagram for
Marc the magician, the first number
of the course.
Those who anticipate delightful
evenings entertainment and amuse-
ment with Day will not be disappont-
ed, as it can be assured that his SUI
perior, if even his equal, has never ap-
peared in Carbondale. The conspic-
uous feature of Days work is his re-

clumsy about his characterizations.
They are natural and are given with
a delicacy that is artistic. He never
oversteps the line of naturalness and
the happy result is that you see char
acters reproduced just as they are
about you in every day life.

COASTlNG ACCIDENT.
Eleven -Year-old Lamoreaux Boy
Crashed Into by Bob-Boy Was
Badly Injured.

Eleven-year-o Raymond Lamor-
eaux, son of Charles LamoreauN, of
Archibald and Eighth avenues, is in a
dangerous condition. as the result of u
coasting accident which occurred last
evening. His injuries are a concusssion
OF the brain. bruises on the face and
possibly internal injuries.
With II number of companions Lam
oreauX was coastins on Park street.
The string of sleighs, with Lamoreaux
in the lead started down the steep
grade. Going past Seventh avenue the
single sleigh was flying. A large bob
coming down Seventh avenue, loaded
with crowd of young fellows and go
ing at Il terrible rate of speed, crashed
into LamorealIX. The lad was thrown
quite a distance. while the large bob
sped on its way, the coasters doing
nothing toward stopping it.
Several lads in the vicinity ran to
LamoreauX, who was lying seemingly
unconscious Blood was gushing from
his mouth and nose and crimsOning his
shirt. He was carried to his home,
corner of Eighth avenue and Archibald
street, and DR.. Andrew Niles called. He
stopped the flow of blood, but subse-
quently at frequent intervals the hem
orrhage continued. He suffered the
brunt of the injuries on the face. His
left eye was terribly swollen and Il
large cash inflicted on his cheek. He
also complained of pain in his back and
it is feared he is internally injured. The
doctor found that the patient had also
suffered a cOncussion of the brain.
AS to the outcome Of the injuries, the
doctor could offer no opinion.

pECkVILLE.

A pail of gloom settled down over
Blakely borough with the coming of
darkness last evening, and many resi-
dent turned and twisted the little rub
ber switch attached to the electric light
bulbs. but to no use. There failed to
come any glimmer of light, and the old
Kerosene lamps were fished out from
cellar and garret and were put into use
to dispel the darkness that was spread
ing It's mantle over the town. Blakely
borough was caught in the relentless
grasp of powerful corporation and 1t
was useless to struggle, SO the fires at
the electric light plant were drawn and
the engineers sat down to await further
orders. The borough electric light plant
had used up Il quantity of water be-
longing to the Scranton Gas and Water
company and the borough fathers had
failed to pay for the same promptly,
and the powers ordered that the water
be shut off from the electric light plant.
This was done yesterday afternoon, and
that Is why the streets of Blakely bor-
ough looked dark and dreary last even
ing. The water company people say:
mo pay, no water" The cause of the
trouble is the eXorbitant price asked by
the water company for the water sup
ply. A water meter has been placed at
the plant and tabs kept on the water
used. The average per month has been
nearly $50, or $720 per year. This. coun-
Gil thought an outrageous price and re-
fused to pay, asking for q lower rate.
The powers would not listen to a re-
duction, and in consequence the water
was shut off from the plant.
For some years much has been said
about the necessity of place in town
where the men, young and old, could
spend an evening of enjoyment in
sociable company. However, nothing
was ever accomplished toward that end
until about two months ago, when, at
meeting called for that purpose, it
was decided to form an organization
granting these privileges, to be known
as the Olymphian Athletic club. Its
first object was to equip and maintain
to it's members first-class gymnasium.
After looking some time for a suitable
building, the club finally, through the
efforts of its president, l. F. Hoyt, Sc
cured the Morgan store building and
leased the same for one year. At the
present time the club has about forty
members, also a gymnasium with most
of the necessary equipment. The club
Will soon give series of entertain
ments, the first of which will take place
Friday evening, January 81, with first
class talent. The speaker for this even
ing will be the Rev. A. II. Smith, of the
Providence Baptist church. one of the
prime movers in the Young Mems
Christian association movement there.
The regular meeting of class No. 8
tipp will ha held ot the home of
Joseph English, on Tuesday evening,
January 81. All members are urgently
requested to be present, as business OF
Importance is to be transacted.
Charles Harding has accepted posi-
ton as crossing flagman, at Winton,
