Bishop Talbot Conducted a Pathetic and
Unusual Ceremony Over Remains OF
Miss Electra Lever.

From Monday Scranton Tribune
There is an unusually sad feature
in connection with the death of FL
ectra Lauer, the SiXtet tn-year-old
daughter of Letter Carrier and Mrs.
Victor l.auer which occurred on Sat
urday morning.
She was an attendant at ST. .,vid's
Episcopal church and member of
the class which was to he confirmed
by Bishop Talbot yesterday. She
looked forward to the event. with
much pleasure and pride and regret
ted exceedingly during her last days
that her illness would probably pre-
vent her confirmation.
Last Wednesday the rector, Rev.
w. Fred Allen, was visiting her and
after prayer, Miss IMuer thanked
the rector, but remarked with much
pathos that she erieved very much
that She could not attend c0nfirma-
ton.
"Don't worry, my daughter"
remarked the rector, "'if sou are too
i'll on Sunday | promise you that the
bishop will come here and confirm
you in your room.
a glow of pride suff'used her wan
face and it was evident to all that
the promise had brought JOY to her
soul. She frequently ferred to her
confirmation and ii was one
of the thoughts that frightened the
evening of her young days amid the
shadow of death. Saturday morn
ing she passed peacefully away into
the presence of the Great Bishop.
Yesterday afternoon Bishop Talbot
the promise to the dead and
celebrated a ceremony as pathetic as
it was unusual. After the rite of
had been celebrated at
st. David's church he drove up to the
Lauer home and in the presence Of
the relatives and q few friends con
Quoted the alternative Office of bless
ing the remains. The ceremony was
sad in the extreme and made an inn
press on the minds of those present
which will never be forgotten.

MEMORIAb DAY NEXT.
The Ranks Of The Grand Army are Rapid
ly Thinning Out.

Already the veterans are prepar-
ing for the coming of Memorial Day,
now less than two months off TIE
fight Of time, the thinning ranks
and the tottering forms of those left
behind have Il tendency to increase
reverence for the day. Therefore
the recurrence of the anniversary
should be made more and more sac
red in its observance. The average
age of the survivors Of the war is
now past sixty years, and the de-
crease from year TO year is very
great indeed. The soldiers of 1851
60 will soon be but memory.

Death OF Mrs. George Kiess.

The long illness of Mrs. Geooge
kiess terminated with her death
Tuesday morning, Eve minutes past
. o clock, at her home in Davidson
township, where she was identified
as one of Sonestown's oldest and
most respected residents. For ten
months she was rendered helpless
by stroke of paralysis which
superinduced II complication of
diseases and gradually weakened
her system until death came peace
fully to end her suffering. She
was aged 81 years, . months and
days.
Deceased was not only highly re-
spected but greatly beloved by her
neighbors and all others who knew
her intimately. "Grandeur of
character says Emerson, works
in the dark and succors those who
never saw it. Many have receiv-
ed help from her kindly influence
who never knew the source from
whence it came. Such practical
and indomitable workers AZ Mrs.
Kiess enlarge belief in the reach of
human virtue and earthly useful
ness. A devoted wife, a most faith
full mother and helpful friend were
the more prominent traits that dis
tinguished her personality. She
is survived 10y her husband. and

Dared 10 Cross Track Ahead Of Enaire.
Life Crushed OU.

A young boy named Justin was
struck Saturday morning by the
Williamsport and North Branch
passenger train, which runs to To-
wanda, land so badly injured that he
died shortly afterwards. The ac-
cident occurred near Towanda. and
was the result of a piece of childish
bravado, in not taking the dare of a
companion.
Justin, who was about twelve
years of age, was playing with boy
or about his own age near Hager-
mans crossing. AS they were play
ing the passenger train came along
and the companion of Justin dared
him to cross the track. Fearing
that he would be called a coward if
he did not take the dare, young Jus
tin started across the track
He was part way over when he
caught his foot on Il spike and fell.
The tram was nearly on him and
before he could rise the engine struck
him in the head. He lived until "a
few minutes after he had been taken
to the Sayre hospital. His body WAS
badly mangled

Miss MURRAY Buried.

The subject of the sudden death of
Miss Mabel M. Murray is still topic
of conversation among her many
friends here. The uncle of the de-
ceased, Colonel George O. Reid, u.
S. NJ O., of Washington, telephoned
yesterday to friends here the cause of
the death. He stated that Miss Muir
ray was taken suddenly i'll on Fri
day morning and expired the same
evening. The immediate cause was
apoplexy, superinduced by Bright's
disease. The friends of the deceased
had no idea she was afflicted with
Bright's disease, as she was rarely sick
and only had slight attacks of indi-
gestion. Miss Murray's mother tele-
graphed for her sister, Mrs. Bates,
who was stopping at New Windsor,
telling her of Miss Mabels extreme
illness, but before Mrs. Bates could
pack her dress suit: case to leave for
Poland, Me-, another telegram came
announcing Miss Murray's death.
The remains were taken to Washing
ton for interment and were buried on
Monday beside those of the father of
the deceased.

LINCOLN PLACE TROUBLE.
Forty Eight Families Are De-
prived of Water.

Some time ago the Annapolis Land
and Improvement Company bought a
portion of ground on st. Johns street
extended, which they named Lincoln
Place. A number of houses were
built, and there are now forty eight
families living in the vicinity.
Recently water from pump used
by these families was subjected TO
chemical analysis and the result
showed the water was bad for drink
ing purposes. - Under the direction
of the City Health Officer the city au-
thorities forbade the use of water
from this pump, and the forty-eight
families are deprived of water, The
nearest place to secure water is West
street and this is quite a distance TO
fetch water for use. The families
object to the Inconvenience TO which
they are put for the use of water and
have complained TO the Annapolis I'm
provement Association, from whom
they rent their houses. The Assooia-
tion has in turn complained to the
city authorities, asking that the
water supply be resumed.
The president of the company stated
today he had made a house TO house
canvas and had ascertained.there was
no illness of typhoid fever, and had
been but three deaths all of which
were due to malarial fever or minor
causes. On the other hand the city
authorities say there have been a
number of typhoid cases in the vi
cinity due to the water from the
pump i'm question. The matter will
be taken up at once with the author
tiles, tits said, but in the meantime
forty eight families are complaining.

The Severn River Ferry

The Board of County Commissioners
at their Meeting yesterday contracted
with Robert NOVEL; to run a scow
ferry across the Severn river during
the repairs of the bridge. Mr.. NOVEL;
agreed to run the ferry every hour
from a. m. to 8 p. M, except on
Saturdays, when the hours would be
from6 a. m. to II p, M, and on Sun
days from sunrise to sunset. The
rates are not to exceed % cents for
double teams and 10 cents for single
teams, round trip, and 5 cents each
way for foot passengers. The capacity
of the ferry boat is to be not less than
four teams and 10 persons. The coun-
ty guarantees to Mr.. NOVEL; the sum
of Sl4.00 per day should he not make
that amount, and all over that amount
is to be turned into the county treas
ury. The Board had under consider
alton several other propositions, but
this was the most feasible and at the
same time the least expensive one. A
steam ferry had been suggested. but
this would have cost the county from
$40 to so per day.
