in New York Ready
for Action.

tically equivalent to those issued for

ashes of the three men would be
met at Thirty-fourth Street Ferry,
and after funeral services on West
10th street. be carried to Union
SQUARE, where Alexander Berkman,
leader of the "Conservative An

Anticipating defiance of the orders
by Cincillieri, 600 uniformed police
and scores of plain clothes men
early today were stationed at Thirty
fourth street ferry to prevent the
Italians from taking the urn to
10th street.
Inspector Schmittbcrger, "ho was
today placed in charge of the sltua-
ton, declared he will break up any
semblance Of an organized parade
to follow the remains, but that as
long as traffic is not interrupted and
the friends of the three bomb vic
tins remain orderly, he will not IN

The real trouble. if any comes,
was expected at the Union Square
demonstration. Fully 10000 persons
arc expected to gather to hear euIo-
gies on the three bomb victims. The
appearance of the urn there will be
the signal for the police to charge
the mob.

hurled into the air. Several hours
later, when he was missed, search

unconscious, against the further wall
of the cellar, entirely nude. The
clothing had been stripped from his
body. When he revived short time
later his injuries were found to
he of a minor nature. Later some OF
his clothing was found smouldering
from the effect Of the bolt.
Joe Janso, trackman on the Don
ora & Southern Railway, while pa
trolling his streach of track, was
thrown to the ground, mis- lantern e,
tinguished and all his garments rip

Miners 200 Feet Below Sur
face Have Thrilling
Experience.
FIVE PERSONS DROWN
Railroad Bridges Swept Away and
Traffic Brought to Standstill-
Work of Lightning.

Scrnton, Pa, July 11.-Followlng
cloudburst in the mountains east
of this city yesterday afternoon,
Scranton and its immediate environs
suffered the worst storm in their
history, the total damage of which
will easily run to hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Service on the
Lackawanna, the Delaware 1nd
Hudson, the Erie and the Ontario
and Western was put completely out.
Dozens of houses, including school
and church, were struck by light
ming, and hundreds of houses in the
lowlands of the city were flooded.
: The storm and attendant flood were
not without their thrilling moments,
for at Archibald, few miles north
of the city, % men were caught in
a mine 200 feet below the surface,
when dam burst and creek over
flowed its banks and found its way
into the mine workings through
surface cave hile.
They received warning Of the dan
ger lust IN time to take measures
for safety and managed to escape to
the surface By wading through water
IN to their shoulders, which flowed
down an old air course and landed
them on the banks Of the Lacka-
wanna River.
One man. Wadislaw Bushno, lost
his footing and was carried on the
crest of the flood through the mine
workings, finally landing on rocks
at the opening in a badly battered
and bruised condition.
At Jermyn an 8-ycar-old boy by
the name of Donald Maren, fell into
an old mine cavc-hole, which had
filled with water and was drowned.
In this city Clemen Weinschank.
Joseph Ellis and John Durkin were
standing on the banks of the Lack
awanna River, watching the food,
when a train came along and they
were brushed into the stream.
All three clung to the trunk of
la tree, rapidly floating and expect
ing every minute that they would be
pulled from the water, while dozens
of people ran along shore for miles
calling to the boys to keep up their
couraSe.
! When the tree trunk reached 4
point near Taylor, about four miles
below this city, it overturned, and
the three boys were plunged into the
water. A, man swan out into the
stream and managed to pull Vein
schank to the shore, but the other
two drifted on down and finally sank.
! Two bridges were washed out on
| the Lackawanna Railroad, almost
within the city limits, completely
tying up traffic on the road hand
making it necessary to route all
trains through to New York by way
Of the Lehigh Valley tracks, while
one bridge on the D. and H. in this
city was carried away and three city
bridges were washed out.
