One Man Who Doesn't Always Give
Up Seat TO Women.

About 80 passengers, including
some travelling men, on one of the
early automobile trips to Hawley
Monday morning were amused by the
hot weather humor of an elderly
lrishman who, upon giving up his
seat to young woman with baby,
told this story at his own expense:
Il always give up seat to a lady
under these circumstances, but
never under any other. l made that
resolve many years ago in New York.
l gave up my seat in a street car to
a nice-looking girl, but instead of
sitting down in it she waited a mo-
ment and a man / didn't know was
with her just Topped into that seat
himself and took the girl on his lap.
That taught me a lesson. | give
up my seat to ladies carrying chill
dren, but not to men who want to
hold girls in their laps in the same
seat where | belong"
Thirty men and women in that
auto roared. They couldn't help it.
And the men secretly envied the fell
low who got the seat and the girl
at the same time on that street car
in New York.

Adam Pride, whose eyesight had
been steadily failing for some time,
on Sunday became totally blind
His old Grand Army comrade, Louis
JeitZ, who had been caring for him
seven or eight days before Mr..
Pride's vision entirely went, sticks
by him and favors the removal of
Mr.. Pride. who is n years old, to
the soldiers home. Mr.. Jeitz called
on Judge Henry Wilson, commander
of Ham post, Monday and informed
him that he would like to take Mr.
Pride to the home and, if need be
remain there year or two to take
care of him. The commander took
the matter under advisement.
Mr.. Pride has been living alone
for II years. He cooked for him

gets a pension of $40 a month from

HOLDING HER OWN
MRS. LORD, BADLY HURT IN
SATURDAYS RUNAWAY ACCI-
DENT. COMFORTABLE AS CAN
BE EXPECTED, THOUGH BROK-
EN- BONES WILL KEEP HER
IN BED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.

Mrs. Frank n. Lord, wife of Man
ager Lord of the Allen house, who
was dragged and badly hurt in
runaway accident at the golf
grounds, off High street, Saturday
afternoon at o'clock. was said to-
day to be holding her own. Mr..
Lord stated that his wife was as
comfortable as could be expected
under the circumstances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lord went for a
drive between and that after
noon. They reached the golf
grounds at the time stated. Mr..
Lord got out, but Mrs. Lord did
not care to leave the carriage Just
then, the late afternoon, after the
severe heat of the middle of the day,
being agreeable for driving.
"Tll just go up the road little
way" she said, and took the reins
from her husband. She had often
driven that road alone and Mr.. Lord
expected no trouble as she went
ahead.
The road from that point on is
narrow. Right behind Mrs. Lord
came Horace Moules, driving a two
wheeled rig that rattles when mov-
ing at a fair clip. The Lord horse,
startled by the noise behind him,
commenced to gallop. Just then the
road began to descend on the north
side of the hill, and as he made a
sharp turn he cramped the wheel
and Mrs. Lord was suddenly thrown
out. She was dragged probably so
feet before the horse could be stop
ped.
Mr.. Moules, who was close behind,
pulled up at once, and help present
ly came from the neighborhood
Mrs. Lord was picked up and car
ried into the house of George Hell
Ter, where DR.. Nelson and DR.. Pow
ell were summoned by telephone
Mrs. Lords right leg they found
broken in two places between the
knee and ankle. Her collarbone
was broken and she had sustained
a large number of bruises. They
reduced the fractures and put three
stitches in bad cut in her fore
head. Sunday it was deemed SAT,
to remove her to the Allen house.
The carriage was badly wrecked
The horse was not hurt. Mr.. Lore
said yesterday that his horse is no
nettlesome, but is full of spirit anC
likes to rush when he hears compel
ing wheels behind
A great many friends of Mr.. anC
Mrs. Lord went to the Allen houst
Sunday and Monday to make in
quiries as to Mrs. Lords condition
and to offer help. Mr.. Lord ap
preciates the interest of his owl
and his wife's friends. 1t will, o
course, be not less than six or sever
weeks before the doctors will per
nit her to leave her bed.

AND GETTING UNDER COVER
PROGRAM FOR THE WEEK.

A special dispatch from the field
at Gettysburg says:
Dust, yellow dust, gray dust,
brown dust and some more dust,
mixed and otherwise, topped with
fierce dry heat, confronted the sold
iers from Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, as they marched almost
1000 strong to the sites where they
will live during a week of work
alongside their professional COM
rades of the army. The troops de-
tailed for the second period of the
camp are the Twelfth and Thirteenth
Pennsylvania infantry. First and
Second city troops, Troop A, Penn
sylvania cavalry; Battery B, Penn
sylvania artillery; Second and Third
New Jersey infantry, Battery B, New
Jersey artillery.
Those of the state troops who had
previously encamped at this historic
place were given a new view, as the
camp ground and it's environs for
considerable distances are bare of
monuments, markers, etc, testifying
to the non-use thereof by the forces
grappled in that great battle forty
seven years ago.
Although the calendars had this
Sunday, when soldiers, except in
dire extremity, may not put to any
work, the incoming soldiers evident
ly crossed out the first day of the
week from their reckoning. Being
experienced and with first class Of
ficers in charge of the several staff
departments, the making of the re-
spective camps was accomplished
with precision and celerity.

will be started within the year, so
that by the fall of 1912 the line
may be opened.
The company. through it's coun-
sel A. b. Rutherford, has prepared
an ordinance to be presented to
common council Thursday night ask
ing a franchise. Included in it is
an agreement as to what the COM
pany will do in return for the right
to come into the city by way of
South Scranton.
The company wants to enter
Scranton this way: Beginning at the
easterly side of Front street, thence
along Front street to Meadow ave-
nue., thence along Meadow avenue to
Moosic street, thence along Moosic
street to Pittston avenue, thence
along Pittston avenue to the Spruce
street bridge. Also beginning at the
intersection of Moosic street and
Stone avenue, thence along Stone
along Hemlock street to South Irv-
ing avenue, thence along South Irv-
ing avenue to Willow street, thence
along Willow street to Crown ave-
nue., thence along Crown avenue to

River street to Lake Scranton, thence
street to Lake Scranton to it's inter-
section with the old abandoned road.
Also beginning at the southerly end
| of Cobb street, thence along Cobb
| street to the Hill property.
The company agrees to grade the
mentioned streets and avenues their
full width from fence to fence line
and pay for all damage caused to
abutting property wherever such
abutting property shall have been
damaged by reason of the grading.
Most of the streets are now in
anything but presentable shape, in
fact are unimproyed. The offer to
grade them is the first of its kind
it is explained, that was ever agreed
to by a public service corporation.
The city will also be offered free
use of the trolley poles for police
and fire purposes.
Promise is made to begin work
within year after the franchise is
granted and completed entirely in
three years, or upon the expiration
of one year the franchise shall be
forfeited to the city, with the pro-
viso, however, that such forfeiture
shall apply only to the uncompleted
portion of it's line.
To insure living up to its PROPOSE
tiOn, the company will offer to file
bond for $4,000.

have the team called out only when
occasion demands it.

went against telephone pole and
young Decker was pitched sideways

He hit the pole, or rather graZed
it, as he went out of the wagon, but
he wasn't hurt. The horse did not
get off so easily. A sharp splinter
from the shaft went into the right
hoof and the animal could not put
his foot to the ground. DR.. Lid
stone was sent for to sew up the
wound. He told the firm that the
