8 FROM WILKESBARRE. The quarantine was raised on the Solak house yesterday where the first small pox case was reported in this city. The infected house is on Murray street. Early yesterday morning two expert fumigators with machines visited the house. The family was taken out, washed by the nurse with a disinfectant and clad in new clothes.

The house was then closed. Every hole and crevice was blocked and dead guses were sent through the rooms. The house has been quarantined for over 20 days. The nurse went home this morning and the guards were dis ihaiged. The other small pox patient is directly opposite is improving and within two weeks the place will be fumigated.

Guards are still in attendance. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. A story was circulated at Wyoming yesterday that peculiar circumstances surrounded the death of Miss Rita Baker of Eighth street in that borough who died suddenly while visiting in Arkansas last Wednesday. A few days ago her brother received a telegram stating that his sister had died and for him to meet the body at Buffalo. This information Baker received did not state what his sister had died of, where or any particulars whatever.

Miss Baker has been out West for some weeks. Previous to leaving for Arkansas she "was operated on at the City hospital for cancer and was thought to be cured. Another brother, Benjamin, who works at the Pollock house, Wyoming, spoke very bitterly against the woman his sister was visiting. A reporter visited Wyoming yesterday morning but the Baker house wu closed, the family having left for Buffalo to meet the body. Nothing could be ascertained at Wy oming yesterday morning except that the body would arrive tonight when all particulars will be learned.

The girl may have died from natural causes. Not until the arrival of the body will the true facts be known. KILLED A MONSTER SNAKE. The honor of killing the largest snake so far this season goes to George Mat thews and William Kramer, stone masons of this city, says the Hazle ton Standard. While at work in the woods near Beaver Meadow yesterday the men were surprised to see a large snake in the act of eating a bird.

Quickly taking their sledges they re paired to the spot and mashed the head of the reptile just as the bird had passed in the mouth of the snake. On measuring the snake it was found to be seven feet three inches in length, although very thin. To prove their story they have their prize hung to a tree near the scene of the killling, and it is visible to any person who happens in the neighborhood. AVOCA.

JERMYN. Supt. Walker Presented with a Roll Top Top Desk and ChairOther Notes' of Interest. Mr. William Walker, who leaves shortly to accept the presidency of the Pittsburg Water company, was presented a magnificent roll top desk and chair by a number of his former em ployes Friday evening as a testimonial of the friendship that exists between them.

The party assembled at his home at Mayfield and after enjoying a social chat Mr. J. E. Sullivan arose and in presenting the gift, said: "In this delegation tonight are those who have been affiliated with you in an official capacity during your 25 years of superintendency, others who have been your employes in various positions for the greater part of it, and all of us long enough to know you, and in knowing you to have the most thor ough understanding of your capabili ties, the strongest faith and belief in your judgment and the highest and truest appreciation of your loyal and disinterested friendship. "The trust and confidence reposed in you by your superiors speak volumes lor your fitness in successfully carrying out the minutest detail connected with your trying position.

Their interests were guarded safely and economically but never at the expense of an injustice to the smallest breaker boy. "There is a tinge of sadness therefore, in your going, yet intermingled is a tincture of joy that you are going to. broader fields where ample opportunities will be open for the full exercise of that fund of knewledge enriched by years of experience which you unquestionably possess. "To emphasize in a feeble way the true regard we, your former clerks, weighmaster and personal friends, en tertain towards you, we ask you to accept this roll top desk and chair. It will serve to keep green in your memory this eventful gathering of your associates in work and your comrades in leisure.

May it mark the beginning of renewed success and prosperity. As for us 'your name, your deeds, will be as legible on the hearts you leave behind, as the stars on the brow of "I know of no better way to close these few remarks than In the beautiful lines of Whittier: In the daylight as in darkness, On the water as on land, God's eye is looking on us And beneath us is His hand; Death will take up soon or later On the deck or in a cot And we cannot meet it better. "I would ask your indulgence, Mr. Walker, for a few moments while I explain the import of our mission here this evening. "In a few days you will take your departure from here for new fields fields where you will renew life's unceasing battle; fields where you must make new friends; fields which you must learn to call by the sweetest of names Home.

"Severed must be the strong bonds which bind you to this, your happita tion. Here are the playmates of your childhood, the comrades of your boyhood and the staunch and loyal friends of your manhood. To you these beautiful hills, with their wealth of foliaged trees; this fair valley, remarkable for its fertility and beauty, must, indeed, be sacred sacred because they are the scenes of your early struggles; your boyish romps; and whatever measure of success in life you may have so far attained. Sacred and dear, because, like all good, true and manly men, You think the spot that gave you birth, the sweetest, dearest place on The recipient of the gift, in accepting it, remarked that the regret he feels at leaving this vicinity and his many friends, becomes greater as the day for his departure draws near. It is always painful to leave the friends of a life time and the place of your birth, with all its tender associations.

Your presence here this evening he said, "recalls the happy days of my youth and many reminiscenes are surging in my mind tonight." He paid a glowing tribute to those present for their fidelity to him during the years that had passed. I always knew," said he, "that I had as loyal and staunch friends as could be found. There were times when I deemed it necessary to indulge in criticism regarding work but I am glad to know that all criticism was taken with good grace and that it did not affect your regard for me." The position of superintendent carries with it responsibilities that a man must faithfully discharge. Friend ship I have always subordinated to duty, and I think my conception of the matter is along the line of justice." Concluding, he remarked that while he had health to sit at his desk he would always think of them. Ice cream and cake was served and the rest of the evening was passed in a most enjoyable manner.

Vocal and instrumental music made the hours pass swiftly. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

BAM AT BUFFALO, CLOSES ITS DOOES WASHINGTON, June 29. A recent examination of the City National bank of Buffalo made by a special examiner, showed a serious condition of affairs existing in the bank. In order that this report might be thoroughly verified the comptroller on Friday sent A. D.

Lynch of his office, together with another examiner to Buffalo, to make a careful re examination of the condition of the bank. On Saturday morning Mr. Lynch telegraphed the comptroller that the former report was sustained in all particulars and thereupon the comptroller wired him as follows: 'The condition of this bank is so serious that I cannot consent to its re opening for business Monday morn ing sufficient assets to pay the depositors in full are satisfactorily guaranteed. The bank is certainly in solvent, and I have no right under these circumstances to permit the withdrawal of deposits by delay in ac tion. If the directors think that their efforts from this time until banking hours Monday morning are insufficient to provide means to rehabitate the bank notify me and I will appoint a receiver immediately." In accordance with the tenor of this despatch and report from Buffalo, the comptroller has appointed National Bank Examiner Vaughan as tempo rary receiver of the bank.
